Fact-checking Trump's false claims ahead of the State of the Union

Politics Feb 24, 2026 8:39 PM EST

President Donald Trump will deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday. Priorities for the Republican's administration have centered largely on the economy, immigration, crime, energy and national security.

WATCH LIVE: President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union address

Trump has spent the last year touting his accomplishments while mocking the record of his predecessor, former President Joe Biden. But much of this bluster is based on false and misleading claims — many of which are likely to be a part of the president's address to the nation.

Here's a look at some of the false and misleading statements Trump has made at recent public appearances.

Economy

Trump often says the U.S. is now "the hottest country anywhere in the world" after years as a "dead country." The U.S. economy was hardly "dead'' when Trump returned to office last year. But in his second term, it's generally performed strongly — after getting off to a bumpy start.

In 2024, the last year of Biden's presidency, U.S. gross domestic product grew 2.8%, adjusted for inflation, faster than any wealthy country in the world except Spain. It also expanded at a healthy rate from 2021 through 2023.

GDP shrank for the first time in three years during the first quarter of 2025. Growth rebounded in the second half of the year, but slowed again in the fourth quarter. Annual GDP growth in 2025 was 2.2%.

A key measure of inflation fell to nearly a five-year low in January. However, according to the Federal Reserve's preferred measure, it remains elevated as the cost of goods such as furniture, clothes and groceries increase.

Companies have also sharply reduced hiring. Employers added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, the fewest — outside a recession — since 2002. Economists blame a range of factors: Uncertainty created by tariffs and artificial intelligence likely caused many firms to hold back on adding workers. And many companies hired like gangbusters in the aftermath of the pandemic and have since decided to forgo creating any new positions.

The U.S. stock market did well last year and yet it underperformed many foreign stock markets. The benchmark S&P 500 index climbed 17% — a nice gain but short of a 71% surge in South Korea, 29% in Hong Kong, 26% in Japan, 22% in Germany and 21% in the United Kingdom.

Investments

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. has secured up to $18 trillion in investments, but has presented no evidence of such a high number. The figure appears to be exaggerated, highly speculative or both.

The White House website offers a far lower number, $9.6 trillion, and that figure appears to include some investment commitments made during the Biden administration.

A study published in January raised doubts about whether more than $5 trillion in investment commitments made last year by many of America's biggest trading partners will actually materialize and questions how it would be spent if it did.

Immigration

A key aspect of the Trump administration's agenda is curbing illegal immigration, though the president often uses falsehoods to support his arguments.

For example, Trump has repeatedly claimed that an influx of immigrants has led to a massive increase in crime. While FBI statistics do not separate out crimes by the immigration status of the assailant, there is no evidence of a spike in crime perpetrated by migrants, either along the U.S.-Mexico border or in cities seeing the greatest influx of migrants, like New York. Studies have found that people living in the U.S. illegally are less likely than native-born Americans to have been arrested for violent, drug and property crimes.

The president also frequently references upward of 300,000 migrant children who are allegedly missing. This misrepresents information in an August 2024 report published by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General, which faulted Immigration and Customs Enforcement for failing to consistently "monitor the location and status of unaccompanied migrant children" once they are released from federal government custody.

Energy

Trump consistently lauds coal as the ideal energy source, calling it "beautiful, clean coal." The production of coal is cleaner now than it has been historically, but that doesn't mean it's clean.

Planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions from the coal industry have decreased over the past 30 years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. And yet United Nations-backed research has found that coal production worldwide still needs to be reduced sharply to address climate change.

Along with carbon dioxide, burning coal emits sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that contribute to acid rain, smog and respiratory illnesses, according to the EIA.

The president also regularly denigrates wind power, claiming that it is expensive and that windmills kill birds.

Onshore wind is one of the cheapest sources of electricity generation, with new wind farms expected to produce energy costing around $30 per megawatt hour, according to July estimates from the Energy Information Administration.

Wind turbines, like all infrastructure, can pose a risk to birds. However, the National Audubon Society, which is dedicated to the conservation of birds, thinks developers can manage these risks and climate change is a greater threat.

Elections

In the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, Trump has taken to repeating the claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.

This is a blatant falsehood that has been disproven many times over — the 2020 election was not stolen.

Biden's win has been affirmed through recounts, audits and reviews in the battleground states where Trump disputed his 2020 loss. He and his allies lost dozens of court challenges related to the election, and his own attorney general at the time said there was no widespread fraud that would have altered the results.

Biden earned 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232. He also won over 7 million more popular votes than Trump.

Additionally, the president brags that his 2024 win was a "landslide." But Trump's margin of victory was not as large as he makes it seem.

He won the electoral vote 312 to 226, including all seven swing states, according to the Federal Election Commission. The popular vote, however, was far closer, with Trump receiving 49.8% of the vote with 77,302,580 votes cast to Democrat Kamala Harris' 75,017,613 votes (48.32%).

Crime

Trump takes credit for a significant decrease in violent crime during 2025, claiming the murder rate in the U.S. dropped to its lowest in 125 years. But this is misleading. Crime had already been trending down in recent years.

A study released in January by the independent Council on Criminal Justice, which collected data from 35 U.S. cities on homicides, showed a 21% decrease in the homicide rate from 2024 to 2025.

READ MORE: Violent crime fell in 2025 for a third straight year in New Orleans. That's before National Guard troops began patrolling

The report noted that when nationwide data for jurisdictions of all sizes is reported by the FBI later this year, there is a strong possibility that homicides in 2025 will drop to about 4 per 100,000 residents. That would be the lowest rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900.

FBI reports for 2023 and 2024 show significant reductions in violent crimes.

Crime surged during the coronavirus pandemic, with homicides increasing nearly 30% in 2020 over the previous year, the largest one-year jump since the FBI began keeping records. But violent crime dropped to near pre-pandemic levels around 2022 when Biden was president.

The increase in violent crime during the pandemic defied easy explanation, and experts similarly said the historic drop in violence last year defies easy explanation despite elected officials at all levels — both Democrats and Republicans — rushing to claim credit.

Foreign policy

One of Trump's most frequent talking points is he has "solved" eight wars, a statistic that is highly exaggerated. Although he has helped mediate relations among many nations, his impact isn't as clear-cut as he makes it seem.

The conflicts Trump counts among those that he has solved are between Israel and Hamas, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, Rwanda and Congo, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Cambodia and Thailand.

The Kingdom of Munster (Irish: Ríocht Mhumhan) was a kingdom of Gaelic Ireland which existed in the south-west of the island from at least the 1st century BC until 1118. According to traditional Irish history found in the Annals of the Four Masters, the kingdom originated as the territory of the Clanna Dedad (sometimes known as the Dáirine), an Érainn tribe of Irish Gaels.

Templar Military Lodges

The Templars also stealthily entered America through military lodges. Of particular significance

are those chartered by the Irish Grand Lodge, which offered the higher degrees of Jacobite

Masonry. Later these lodges incorporated the French Templar Scottish Rite degrees, further

dividing colonial America between two rival forms of Freemasonry. While British politics in the

colonies was dominated by English Masons in the Northeast, her military was under the

influence of French Templar Field Lodges throughout the colonies - not a stable union for

governing "13" rebellious colonies.2

Revelation 13:3

LOUIS Raphaël I Sako (Arabic: لويس روفائيل ساكو;[1] born 4 July 1948) is a Chaldean Catholic prelate who has served as Patriarch of Baghdad since 1 February 2013. Pope Francis made him a cardinal on 28 June 2018.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Rapha%C3%ABl_I_Sako

When Attalus, the Pontiff and King of Pergamos, died in 133BC, he bequested the Headship of the "Babylonian Priesthood" to Rome. William B. Barker in his book "Lares and Penates cracks open the codeword Pergamos as used by St. John in Revelation 2:13. He writes: "The Chaldean Magi enjoyed a long period of prosperity at Babylon. A pontiff appointed by the sovereign ruled over a college of seventy-two hierophants.... [just as the popes have 70 Cardinals] the defeated Chaldeans fled to Asia Minor, and fixed their central college at Pergamos, and too the Palladium of Babylon, the CUBIC stone [believed to represent Cybele or Kybele, the mother goddess] with them. Here, independent of state control, they carried on the rites of their religion, and plotted against the peace of the Persian Empire, caballing with the Greeks for that purpose."

Thus we see that the Chaldeans continued to wield political and religious influence, injecting thier presence into the next world empire. When the city was later given to Rome (Rome acquired the city of Pergamos by decree of Attalus III, bequething his kingdom to the Roman Caesar), the priesthood of Pergamos moved to the new power center on the Italian peninsula."

The Bible consistently condemns flattery as a dangerous, dishonest form of manipulation rooted in pride and selfish ambition. Scripture views it as a deceitful tool used to trap others, often calling it a form of lying with "smooth" or "double" lips. It is explicitly contrasted with godly encouragement and is associated with the wicked, an adulteress, or false teachers.

Key Biblical Teachings on Flattery

A Deceptive Trap: Proverbs 29:5 warns that a man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet

A "Double Heart": Flattery is seen as saying something to a person's face that you would not say behind their back, indicating a lack of sincerity, according to One Church @ Bethel's Family.

Rooted in Evil Motives: It is often linked to manipulation, greed, and trying to gain an advantage (Romans 16:18, Proverbs 26:28).

Condemned for Leaders: Job 32:21-22 states, "Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man," notes www.bible-topics.com.

The name "Capet" has also been used as a surname for French royalty, particularly but not exclusively those of the House of Capet. One notable use was during the French Revolution, when the dethroned King Louis XVI (a member of the House of Bourbon and a direct male-line descendant of Hugh Capet) and Queen Marie Antoinette (a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine) were referred to as "Louis and Antoinette Capet" (the queen being addressed as "the Widow Capet" after the execution of her husband).

In October 2025, president Donald Trump appointed Olsen as a special government employee to investigate the 2020 election.

The word aeon /ˈiːɒn/, also spelled eon (in American and Australian English[1][2]), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity". It is a Latin transliteration from the ancient Greek word ὁ αἰών (ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών (aiwōn) meaning "century". In Greek, it literally refers to the timespan of one hundred years. A cognate Latin word aevum (cf. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as eternal, longevity and mediaeval.[3]

Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a billion years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period. Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on the geologic time scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeon, Phanerozoic.

Astronomy and cosmology

In astronomy, an aeon is defined as a billion years (109 years, abbreviated AE).[4]

Roger Penrose uses the word aeon to describe the period between successive and cyclic Big Bangs within the context of conformal cyclic cosmology.[5]

To celebrate Drusilla's return to health in 1998, Spike had all the pieces of the Judge brought to Sunnydale as a present for his sire's coming out party. Drusilla planned to reassemble the Judge and unleash Armageddon. Spike's minions succeed in reuniting all the pieces and taking them to Spike and Dru's lair, except for one of the arms, which Dalton lost to Buffy Summers. At the Bronze, Buffy opened the box and the Judge's arm immediately attacked her.[1]

The name JULIA is derived from the Latin name JULIUS , which is the feminine form of the Roman family name. It is believed to mean "youthful" or "downy," reflecting its association with youthfulness. The name has deep historical roots in ancient Rome, where it was associated with the prominent family of the same name, including notable figures like Julia the Elder, the daughter of Augustus Caesar. The name has been used in various cultures and languages, maintaining its significance and popularity over the centuries.

Juliet Rose Landau (born March 30, 1965)[1][2][3][4] is an American actress, director, producer, and ballerina best known for her role as Drusilla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff show Angel, the latter appearance earning her a Saturn Award nomination.

The Court of David refers to the royal court established by King David during his reign over Israel, a period marked by significant political, military, and religious developments. David, the second king of Israel, is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for uniting the tribes of Israel and establishing Jerusalem as the nation's capital. His court was not only a center of political power but also a hub of cultural and religious activity.

Historical Context

David's rise to power is chronicled in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. Initially anointed by the prophet Samuel while Saul was still king (1 Samuel 16:13), David's path to the throne was fraught with challenges, including Saul's jealousy and multiple attempts on his life. After Saul's death, David was first anointed king over Judah in Hebron (2 Samuel 2:4) and later over all Israel (2 Samuel 5:3). His reign is traditionally dated to around 1010–970 BC.

Political Structure

The court of David was characterized by a well-organized administrative structure. Key figures included Joab, the commander of the army (2 Samuel 8:16), and Jehoshaphat, the recorder (2 Samuel 8:16). David's sons served as priests, indicating the intertwining of royal and religious duties (2 Samuel 8:18). The court also included counselors, scribes, and other officials who assisted in governance and the implementation of David's policies.

Pope Julius II

(r. 1503–1513), known as the "Warrior Pope" and born Giuliano della Rovere, was a powerful Renaissance leader who solidified the Papal States. He convened the Fifth Council of the Lateran (1512–1517) at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran in Rome to reform the Church and counter a schismatic council.

Key Aspects of

Pope Julius II

and the Lateran Council:

The Fifth Lateran Council: Initiated in 1512 by Julius II, this council was called to address Church reform, challenge the "conciliabulum" of Pisa supported by French King Louis XII, and reassert papal authority.

"Warrior Pope" Legacy: Julius II famously commanded armies to expand the Papal States, acting as a military and political leader rather than just a spiritual one.

Artistic Patronage: He was a major patron of the High Renaissance, commissioning Bramante to design the new St. Peter's Basilica, Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and Raphael to paint the Vatican Stanze.

Death and Succession: After a turbulent papacy marked by conflict, he died in February 1513, succeeded by Pope Leo X.

Although his name is associated with the Lateran, his most famous architectural, artistic, and burial commissions (including his tomb by Michelangelo) were concentrated in the Vatican and other Roman churches.

AI Overview

"Cristal" (or Crystal) is not a direct, traditional translation or synonym for "Christ." While some interpretations link the name Crystal to "carrier of Christ" (often referencing St. Christopher), Christ comes from the Greek khristos ("anointed"), whereas crystal comes from krystallos ("ice" or "clear quartz"). They are distinct words.

If Juliet is an actual friend to people then someone framed Juliet to be a messed up person when it isn't true, I don't know, but they have been from one abusive relationship to another and all my life I wanted to be in a marriage with a woman.

Cell Phone Distraction and Operant Conditioning

1 Reply

“The average person spends a combined total of one entire day per week checking their phone” (Bayes-Fleming, 2019). When I first read that statistic, I thought there is no way that can be true, but when I thought about it, 24 hours in a week equates to about three to four hours a day and this is something Iam guilty of. Sometimes days will go by without me turning on the television, my cell phone has become my entertainment. Sitting down to watch an entire television show or God forbid a movie seems completely overwhelming to me compared to watching three-minute video clips on social media. One explanation of why we are constantly distracted by checking our phones is operant conditioning.

Distractions are “things that direct our attention away from something we are doing” (Goldstein, 2019, p.112). In the last few decades, cell phones, tablets and laptops have become a huge source of distraction. I know that when I am overwhelmed or bored with a task, my cell phone is a great escape. Our textbook quotes a study that found “92% of college students report that they have texted, browsed the web, sent pictures, or visited social networks during class time” (Goldstein, 2019, p. 113).

Operant conditioning is a type of learning that occurs when a reward controls a behavior. “A basic principle of operant conditioning is that the best way to ensure that a behavior will continue is to reinforce it intermittently” (Goldstein, 2019, p.114). When you pick up your phone, you don’t know what kind of notification will be thrown your way. Did someone comment on a picture you posted online? What news alerts did you get? Did your friend text you back? Sometimes there will be notifications and sometimes not. Every time you check your phone your brain knows that there is a chance for a hit of dopamine, and it wants to keep going back for more.

In a world where cell phones have become such an integral part of everything we do (there is banking online, facetime, virtual meetings, online newspapers, etc.) and when we open our cell phones there is always a chance that a “reward” will pop up, our brains have become so accustomed to constantly being stimulated. I know for me that paying attention for long periods of time is now hard for me to do because I am used to short clips of information being thrown my way. Operant conditioning is causing us to seek out rewards using our electronic devices.

Big-Game Hunting and Post-Flood Fauna

Fossils at Shanidar, Mount Carmel, and Carpathian sites show lions and aurochs once roamed the Fertile Crescent. Weapon points from Jarmo and Hassuna layers match the period. Nimrod’s exploits likely included subduing these predators, winning popular acclaim that transitioned into political control.

Archaeological Discoveries Confirming Genesis 10 Table

Genetic studies of ancient remains from Uruk and Nineveh exhibit Hamitic Y-chromosome haplogroups consistent with a Cushite founding population. Cylinder seals from Early Dynastic I depict royal lion hunts, visually paralleling Genesis’ description.

Practical Application for Today

Believers discern that technological or political prowess, absent humility, reenacts Babel. Success must be measured “by the LORD” (Psalm 127:1) rather than earthly might. The call is to channel God-given abilities toward stewardship and gospel proclamation, not self-exaltation.

Summary

Nimrod’s epithet “mighty hunter before the LORD” signals more than skill with bow and spear; it encapsulates the first post-Flood attempt to forge a world order centered on human glory. Archaeology, ancient literature, and the linguistic precision of Scripture converge to portray him as the archetype of rebellious empire, a foil to the Messiah whose kingdom advances not by hunting men but by redeeming them.

Espionage, spying, or intelligence gathering, as a subfield of the intelligence field, is the act of obtaining secret, confidential, or in some way valuable information. Such information is also referred to as intelligence. A professional trained in conducting intelligence operations by their government may be employed as an intelligence officer.[1] Espionage may be conducted in a foreign country, domestically or remotely. The practice is clandestine, as it is by definition unwelcome. In some circumstances, it may be a legal tool of law enforcement and in others, it may be illegal and punishable by law.

Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government or commercial concern. The term is frequently associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies for military purposes. However, there are many types of espionage. Industrial espionage, for example, involves spying on civilians and their respective business or corporate interests.

Madame Minna Craucher (right), a Finnish socialite and spy, with her chauffeur Boris Wolkowski (left) in 1930s

One way spies gather data and information about a targeted military organization is by infiltrating its ranks. They can then return information such as the size and strength of the enemy forces. They can also find collaborators and dissidents within the organization and influence them to provide further information or defect.[2] Spies can steal technology and sabotage the enemy in various ways. Counterespionage, also known as counterintelligence or offensive countertintelligence, is the practice of thwarting enemy espionage and intelligence gathering. Almost all sovereign states have laws concerning espionage and the penalties for being caught spying are often severe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage

The first dated appearance of the title "pharaoh" being attached to a ruler's name occurs in Year 17 of Siamun (tenth century BCE) on a fragment from the Karnak Priestly Annals, a religious document. Here, an induction of an individual to the Amun priesthood is dated specifically to the reign of "Pharaoh Siamun".[19] This new practice was continued under his successor, Psusennes II, and the subsequent kings of the twenty-second dynasty. For instance, the Large Dakhla stela is specifically dated to Year 5 of king "Pharaoh Shoshenq, beloved of Amun", whom all Egyptologists concur was Shoshenq I—the founder of the Twenty-second Dynasty—including Alan Gardiner in his original 1933 publication of this stela.[20] Shoshenq I was the second successor of Siamun. Meanwhile, the traditional custom of referring to the sovereign as, pr-ˤ3, continued in official Egyptian narratives.[citation needed]

Babylonian captivity - Wikipedia

The Babylonian captivity, lasting from 597 to 538 BCE, was a pivotal period in Jewish history marked by the forced exile of many Jews to Babylon following the conquest of the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

Historical Context

The Babylonian captivity, also known as the Babylonian exile, occurred after the Neo-Babylonian Empire, led by King Nebuchadnezzar II, besieged Jerusalem. This event was part of a series of military campaigns against the Kingdom of Judah, which had become a vassal state to Babylon. The first significant deportation of Jews occurred in 597 BCE, when King Jehoiachin was deposed, followed by further exiles after the destruction of Jerusalem and Solomon's Temple in 586 BCE. The captivity formally ended in 538 BCE when Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to their homeland.

Wikipedia

Key Events

Siege of Jerusalem: The Babylonian forces laid siege to Jerusalem multiple times, leading to the city's eventual destruction in 586 BCE. This marked a significant low point in Jewish history, comparable to their earlier enslavement in Egypt.

Deportations: The exiles occurred in waves, with thousands of Jews taken captive and relocated to Babylon. Not all Jews were forced to leave; some remained in Judah, while others chose to stay in Babylon, leading to the establishment of Jewish communities in the Diaspora.

Cultural Impact: Despite facing cultural pressures in Babylon, the exiled Jews maintained their religious identity and community structure. This period likely saw the establishment of synagogues and the compilation of significant religious texts, including parts of the Hebrew Bible.

The Battle of Carchemish was a battle fought around 605 BCE between the armies of Egypt, allied with the remnants of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, against the armies of Babylonia.[1][2][3][4] The forces would clash at Carchemish, an important military crossing and trade city on the banks of the Euphrates River in modern-day Syria.[5] Nebuchadnezzar II was given command of this Babylonian force while Nabopolassar, his father and the king of Babylonia, was still in Babylon.[6] Necho II, the king of Egypt, led the Egyptian and Assyrian forces in the battle. The battle would end in a major defeat for the Egyptian and Assyrian forces. The defeat ended Egyptian influence in the Levant and led to Babylon expanding its domain to the borders of Egypt.[7]

The first historical mention of the Pharisees and their beliefs comes in the four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, in which both their meticulous adherence to their interpretation of the Torah as well as their eschatological views are described. A later historical mention of the Pharisees comes from the Jewish-Roman historian Josephus in a description of the "four schools of thought", or "four sects", into which he divides the Jews in the 1st century AD. (The other schools were the Essenes, who were generally apolitical, and may have emerged as a sect of dissident priests who rejected either the Seleucid-appointed or the Hasmonean high priests as illegitimate; the Sadducees, who were the main antagonists of the Pharisees; and the Zealots.[14]) Other sects may have emerged at this time, such as the early Christians in Jerusalem and the Therapeutae in Egypt. However, their status as Jews is unclear.

While the poetic verse on the Red Cross knight in Edmund Spencer’s The Fairie Queen has some resemblance to the Rosicrucian chivalrous quest, and while Spencer’s Castle of Alma is a poetic microcosm of learning with some resemblance to the Rosicrucian tomb, there is little concrete evidence to support Yates’ explicitely stated hypotheses. If one looks closer at her arguments, however, beginning with her interest in the Valois tapestries, one sees that she was reaching for a connection to French court culture and dynastic politics. She felt that Spencer’s poetic passages convey the militant atmosphere of the Elizabethan Leicester-Sidney-circle. This militancy centered on forging a Protestant union with the German Princes in view of the British campaign in the United Provinces in 1586, the legacy of which would be preserved in the legend of Christian Rosencreutz.

The text of the Book of Genesis says ENOCH lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" (Gen 5:21–24), which is interpreted as Enoch entering heaven alive in some Jewish and Christian traditions,[2][3] and interpreted differently in others.[4]

Underground testing began at the town of Batken in Kyrgyzstan, and was directed by lkram Ke rimov , of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences. The documents say that scientists detonated an underground nuclear charge and tried to control the direction of seismic energy release d using British-built equipment known as 'system 9690 ' .

A report prepared by the Mozhaisky Military Engineering Institute concluded that the test had been a success. But progress slowed considerably following Azerbaijan's independence from the Soviet Union. At about this time , Russia embarked on a more comprehensive tectonic warfare programme known as the Volcano project. The Earth Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) became the project headquarters .

Research was scheduled to be completed in 1992, with underground testing beginning the following year. The final test was carried out at a place code-named S36NZ-0Kh; Moscow News believes the letters 'NZ' refer to Novaya Zemlya, where Soviet nuclear testing began in the 1950s.

But he picks up any remnants of his fishing gear he can find, just in case. What is left intact barely fills one small basket. His neighbor finds his clock.

AI Overview

A spy satellite's line of sight (LOS) refers to a direct, unobstructed path between the satellite and its target or a ground station. This LOS is crucial for both communication and imagery acquisition, but can be limited by the Earth's curvature, which means a satellite can only see a specific area at a given time, and by objects on the ground that block signals. To overcome these limitations, spy satellites can use networks of relay satellites to extend their communication range and avoid being out of sight for too long, explains Euro-sd.

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt is a 2-in-1 compilation title for the Nintendo Entertainment System consisting of Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. It was released in 1988, exclusively in North America. Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt was a best-seller for the system, in part because it was packaged with the NES Action Set. The set also came bundled with an NES Zapper, an accessory that is required to play Duck Hunt.

A similar compilation titled Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet was released some time after Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt. It is an enhancement of Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt because it retains both games but adds World Track Class Meet as a third game.

Mario & Luigi, known in East Asia as Mario & Luigi RPG, is a series of role-playing video games originally developed by AlphaDream for Nintendo's handheld platforms since 2003. The series features games with long, detailed stories full of battles featuring Mario and Luigi as the titular characters. As in the Paper Mario series, the battle system emphasizes timing and elaborate attacks. Compared to that of other RPGs, the tone of the Mario & Luigi games is generally more whimsical and lighthearted, with various in-game jokes and comical references to the heritage of the Super Mario franchise.

https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_%26_Luigi_(series)

The name Luigi is of Italian origin, derived from the name Louis, which is itself a form of the Germanic name Ludwig. The name is composed of the elements "lud," meaning "famous," and "wig," meaning "war," thus signifying "famous warrior." This etymology reflects a strong and noble connotation, often associated with rulers and leaders. The name has been borne by several prime ministers of Italy and remains popular in Italian culture.

All historians acknowledge the ascendancy of the popes began in 308 A.D., when King Clovis of the Salian or Merovingian Franks (later France), won the decisive battle in the Catholic and Arian religious war, thereby settling the dispute in favor of the Catholics.

By 1525, convinced of the heretical nature of alumbradismo, the Inquisitors published El edicto contra los alumbrados consisting of 48 alumbrado Propositions followed by official Inquisitorial refutation and condemnation. The Edict of 1525 presented the alumbrados as a dangerous group of heretics in its attempt to delegitimize their beliefs.

This study focuses on the Inquisitors’ diction in their responses to and qualifications of the alumbrado Propositions, specifically their usage of the words loca (crazy) and locura

(madness).

Alumbrado, (Spanish: “Enlightened”, ) Italian Illuminato, plural Illuminati, a follower of a mystical movement in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. Its adherents claimed that the human soul, having attained a certain degree of perfection, was permitted a vision of the divine and entered into direct communication with the Holy Spirit. From this state the soul could neither advance nor retrogress. Consequently, participation in the liturgy, good works, and observance of the exterior forms of religious life were unnecessary for those who had received the “light.” The Alumbrados came primarily from among the reformed Franciscans and the Jesuits, but their doctrines seem to have influenced all classes of people.

After the Hunnic defeat of the Goths on the Pontic Steppe around 375 CE, many of the Alans along with various Germanic tribes migrated westwards. They crossed the Rhine in 406 CE along with the Vandals and Suebi, settling in Orléans and Valence. Around 409 CE they joined the Vandals and Suebi in crossing the Pyrenees into the Iberian Peninsula, settling in Lusitania and Hispania Carthaginensis.[9] The Iberian Alans, soundly defeated by the Visigoths in 418 CE, subsequently surrendered their autonomy to the Hasdingi Vandals.[10] In 428 CE, the Vandals and Alans crossed the Strait of Gibraltar into North Africa, where they founded a kingdom which lasted until its conquest by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 534 CE.[10]

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the Orientalist von Hammer alleges)109 connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

The Priory of Sion is an initiatory Order of chivalry, founded on July 15 1099 in Jerusalem, by Godfrey of Bouillon, at the Abbey "Our Lady of Mount Sion" as "Order of our Lady of Mount Sion."The Order, after being registered for the first time in history, in 1956, and then being dissolved in 1993, was newly registered in 2015, perpetuating the legitimate Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair's lineage, through the actual Grand Master, Marco Rigamonti.

The Order – A Brief History

The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

They believe or at least profess that the Anglo/Aryan race is the true Israel (British Israel and Christian Identity for the dupes and an Anglophile Secular Humanism for the leaders) and thus the Master race. They have convinced the so-called useless eaters that they are friends, benefactors, and protectors.

The etymology of the surname "Kardashian" is Armenian, derived from the word "քարտաշ" (kʿartaš), which means "stone carver" or "stonemason". The surname reflects the profession of stone cutting, indicating a lineage associated with this craft.

ROBERT George Kardashian (February 22, 1944 – September 30, 2003) was an American attorney and businessman. He gained national recognition as O. J. Simpson's friend and defense attorney during Simpson's 1995 murder trial.

The Battle of Cardassia was the final battle of the Dominion War, fought in late 2375. The allied forces of the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Star Empire launched an invasion of the Dominion-held Cardassian Union, with the goal of capturing the Dominion’s capital on Cardassia Prime. The battle would ultimately lead to the Dominion’s unconditional surrender of all forces in the Alpha Quadrant.

The events of the battle must also be considered alongside concurrent events on Cardassia Prime in the final stages of the Cardassian Rebellion, led by Legate Damar. The sabotage committed by the Cardassian insurgents played an important role in disrupting Dominion communications and support behind the front lines, and ultimately led to the Cardassian ships in the battle switching sides. Before the battle was over, however, more than 800 million Cardassian civilians would be killed by Dominion genocide, leaving the once-proud capital planet in ruins. (DS9: “What You Leave Behind”)

The Romulan Star Empire is a major interstellar polity in the Star Trek universe, known for its secrecy, militarism, and complex political structure.

During the classical period, the Roman Empire controlled the Mediterranean and much of Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The Romans conquered most of these territories in the time of the Republic, and it was ruled by emperors following Octavian's assumption of power in 27 BC. Over the 4th century AD, the empire split into western and eastern halves. The Western Empire collapsed in 476 AD, while the Eastern Empire endured until the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Henry VIII and Martin Luther were bitter ideological opponents, despite both breaking with the Roman Catholic Church. While Luther initiated the theological Protestant Reformation in 1517, Henry was a staunch Catholic who earned the title "Defender of the Faith" in 1521 for writing a book attacking Luther. Their conflict was primarily driven by the clash between Luther's radical theology and Henry’s defense of papal authority, which later shifted when Henry's need for a divorce led to a political break with Rome.

Martin Luther (/ˈluːθər/ LOO-thər;[1] German: [ˈmaʁtiːn ˈlʊtɐ] ⓘ; 10 November 1483[2] – 18 February 1546) was a German priest, theologian, author, hymnwriter, professor, and former Augustinian friar.[3]

Codeword Barbelon book 2

by P.D. Stuart

[OJ]

Orrin Johnson

Orrin Johnson has been practicing criminal law in Northern Nevada for over fifteen years.

Orrin grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota, where he was active in theater and debate, and worked as a taekwondo instructor. He received a BA in Political Science from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 1998.

After graduation, Orrin served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy from 1998 – 2004. He served aboard two destroyers – as the Electrical Officer aboard USS Russell (DDG 59) and as the Navigator of USS Paul F. Foster (DD 964) – deploying three times in four years. During these deployments, Orrin was assigned to lead boarding teams to search and sometimes seize vessels violating sanctions then in place against Iraq.

After his sea tours were completed, Orrin finished his Navy time as the Commanding Officer of Naval Reserve Center, Everett, WA, where he was

responsible for hundreds of drilling reservists deploying overseas in support of the Global War on Terror.

Upon leaving the service, Orrin attended law school at the University of Washington – Seattle, receiving his JD in 2007. He then moved to his wife’s home town of Reno, Nevada, where he worked for the Washoe County Public Defender’s Office until 2012. During that time, he was assigned to be the office’s legislative liaison during the 2009 and 2011 sessions, lobbying on various issues related to indigent criminal defense.

In 2012, Orrin became a Deputy District Attorney, first in Lyon County, and then for Carson City where he worked as a prosecutor for six years. After eleven years both defending and prosecuting criminal cases in the public sector, Orrin started Orrin Johnson Law, a division of Johnson Law Practice, in 2019. In that time, Orrin has

become widely recognized as one of Northern Nevada’s top criminal defense attorneys, willing to take on the most challenging cases.

During COVID-19, he fought to keep courts open, volunteering to take one of only three cases to jury trial in Washoe County in 2020 after the pandemic hit. The skills, knowledge, and tricks-of-the-trade only former prosecutors know are

now available to help defend you from any criminal allegation.

Based on a survey of other attorneys state wide, Orrin has been recognized by Nevada Business Magazine in its “Legal Elite” edition as one of the state’s top attorneys in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

In addition to his legal practice, Orrin is a leader in our community, advocating for your rights. He has written a weekly column for both the Reno Gazette-Journal and the Nevada Independent, writing about law, politics, and public policy. He appears on – and sometimes guest-hosts – the Nevada Newsmakers television program, and has even given a TEDx talk on the importance of free speech. He also helps coach the Galena High School Mock Trial Team, training a new generation of citizens and perhaps even lawyers in trial skills and courtroom advocacy.

Why Free Speech is Society's Immune System | TEDx

Feb 13, 2018

Are some thoughts or ideas too dangerous to hear? Should we give politicians the power to outlaw – and define – “hate speech”? Or should we continue to trust in the First Amendment, knowing that exposure to an offensive idea – and the right of others to speak out against those ideas – inoculates us and makes us stronger as a society? Orrin Johnson explains why free speech is society's immune system using as examples two people with ties to The University of Nevada, Reno - Colin Kaepernick and Peter Cvjetanovic. Orrin is a Deputy District Attorney in Carson City, Nevada. He also writes a weekly column on politics and public policy for the Nevada Independent. He began his legal career after graduating from the University of Washington School of Law in 2007 as a public Defender in Reno, Nevada, during which time he lobbied his state legislature on criminal defense issues. Prior to his legal career, Orrin graduated with a BA in Political Science from the University of Minnesota. He then served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy, from 1998 – 2004. He served aboard two destroyers – as the Electrical Officer aboard USS Russell (DDG 59) and as the Navigator of USS Paul F. Foster (DD 964) – deploying three times in four years. During these deployments, Orrin led boarding teams to search and sometimes seize vessels violating sanctions then in place against Iraq. He completed his service as the Commanding Officer of Naval Reserve Center Everett, WA. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

AI Overview

A stalker filing a restraining order against their victim is a manipulative tactic known as "weaponized litigation" or DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). This allows the stalker to use the court system to continue harassment, gain the victim's address, and falsely claim victimhood, often creating a "he-said-she-said" scenario that complicates legal protection for the actual victim.

WomensLaw.org

Key Aspects of This Tactic:

Reversing Roles: The stalker portrays themselves as the victim of harassment to gain legal, emotional, and social power over the true victim.

Information Gathering: By filing, the stalker may force the victim to provide contact information or address details in court documents.

Legal Harassment: This tactic forces the victim to spend time, money, and emotional energy defending themselves in court, which is a form of control.

Common in High-Conflict Cases: It is a tactic frequently seen in situations where the stalker has previously faced legal consequences or has an intimate knowledge of the victim's vulnerabilities.

www.njcriminaldefensellc.com

Common Outcomes:

Dismissal: Courts often dismiss these fraudulent orders if the victim can prove the harassment originated from the person filing.

Increased Danger: Such actions are often linked to increased violence or stalking behavior.

The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center

Note: If you are experiencing this, it is recommended to document all instances of harassment and seek legal counsel or victim advocacy services immediately.

In 2029, Earth has been ravaged by the war between the malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet and the human resistance. Skynet sends the T-1000—an advanced, shape-shifting prototype Terminator made of virtually indestructible liquid metal—back in time to kill resistance leader John Connor when he is a child. To protect John, the resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-800 Terminator, a less advanced metal endoskeleton covered in living tissue.

In 1995 Los Angeles, John's mother Sarah is incarcerated in Pescadero State Hospital for her violent efforts to prevent "Judgment Day"—the prophesied events of August 29, 1997, when Skynet will gain sentience and, in response to its creators' attempts to deactivate it, incite a nuclear holocaust. John, living with foster parents, also considers Sarah delusional and resents her efforts to prepare him for his future role. The T-1000 locates John in a shopping mall, but the T-800 intervenes, coming to John's aid and enabling his escape. John calls to warn his foster parents, but the T-800 deduces that the T-1000 has already killed them. Realizing the T-800 is programmed to obey him, John forbids it to kill people and orders it to help him rescue Sarah from the T-1000.

The current Rector is Cardinal Archpriest Baldassare Reina, Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome[4] since 6 October 2024. The president of the French Republic, currently Emmanuel Macron, is ex officio the "First and Only Honorary Canon" of the archbasilica, a title that the heads of state of France have possessed since King Henry IV.

The large Latin inscription on the façade reads: Clemens XII Pont Max Anno V Christo Salvatori In Hon SS Ioan Bapt et Evang. This abbreviated inscription translates as: "The Supreme Pontiff Clement XII, in the fifth year [of his Pontificate, dedicated this building] to Christ the Savior, in honor of Saints John the Baptist and [John] the Evangelist".[5] As Christ the Savior is its primary dedication, its titular feast day is 6 August, the Transfiguration of Christ. As the cathedral of the pope as bishop of Rome, it ranks superior to all other churches of the Catholic Church, including Saint Peter's Basilica.

The Art of War

The book was translated into French and published in 1772 by the French priest Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot; it was re-published in 1782. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910.[2] Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, and Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp are cited along with American military generals Douglas MacArthur and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. as having drawn inspiration from the book.[3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War

Louis-Alexandre Berthier, prince de Neuchâtel et Valangin, prince de Wagram (French: [lwi alɛksɑ̃dʁ bɛʁtje]; 20 November 1753 – 1 June 1815) was a French military commander who served during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. He was twice Minister of War of France and was made a Marshal of the Empire in 1804. Berthier served as chief of staff to Napoleon Bonaparte from his first Italian campaign in 1796 until his first abdication in 1814. The operational efficiency of the Grande Armée owed much to his considerable administrative and organizational skills.

Born into a military family, Berthier served in the American Revolutionary War and survived suspicion of monarchism during the Reign of Terror before a rapid rise in the ranks of the French Revolutionary Army. Although a key supporter of the coup against the Directory that gave Napoleon supreme power, and present for his greatest victories, Berthier strongly opposed the progressive stretching of lines of communication during the Russian campaign. Allowed to retire by the restored Bourbon regime, he died by either suicide or murder shortly before the Battle of Waterloo. Berthier's reputation as a superb operational organiser remains strong among current historians.

Cleaning of Michelangelo’s “Last Judgement” begins in the Vatican

LaPresse

February 23, 2026 – 2:09 PM

Rome, 23 February (LaPresse) – With the scaffolding now in place in the Sistine Chapel, extraordinary maintenance work on the Last Judgement has begun. ‘The cleaning of Michelangelo’s magnificent fresco has begun,’ said Barbara Jatta, Director of the Vatican Museums. “Until the work is completed, which is expected to be by Holy Week, the Sistine Chapel will continue to welcome worshippers and visitors, while restorers from the Vatican Museums’ Painting and Wooden Materials Restoration Laboratory will work on the large scaffolding screened by a cloth reproducing the image of the Last Judgement. The installation of the scaffolding was made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Directorate of Infrastructure and Services (headed by Engineer Salvatore Farina) of the Governorate of Vatican City State. The cleaning of the fresco is supported by the Florida Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums. We are grateful to Mary Viator and the entire Chapter for their generous support. All phases of the intervention will be documented by the Vatican Museums’ Photographic Laboratory, creating a valuable record of the cleaning process which, by removing a slight patina invisible to the naked eye, will restore Michelangelo’s colours to their former splendour. Some thirty years after the last conservation work, completed in 1994 under the supervision of Director General Carlo Pietrangeli and carried out by the Chief Restorer of the Vatican Museums’ Painting and Wooden Materials Restoration Laboratory, Gianluigi Colalucci, it will be possible to admire Michelangelo’s supreme masterpiece in all the power of his vision.

Elite Vatican squad scales high spots to keep basilica spic and span

Carol Glatz | Catholic News Service

VATICAN CITY – The sounds of a woman chanting in a side chapel blended with the less traditional hum of a hydraulic lift one recent morning in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Pilgrims were pressed against a barricade pointing cameras at workmen strapped in climbing harnesses, teetering atop the baldacchino, the massive bronze canopy over the main altar.

Twice a year, typically before Christmas and Easter, a select team of Vatican workers breaks out its polyester dusters, vacuum cleaner and bronze polishing fluid to clean Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s 100-foot-high, 63-ton masterpiece.

Until recently, they had to climb up the twisting columns, hoisting themselves with wooden pegs and ropes, using the decorative bronze leaves and branches wrapped around the columns as toe perches and handholds.

But recently they started borrowing an electric “spider lift” from the office governing Vatican City State, said Maria Cristina Carlo-Stella, chief of staff of the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the Vatican office in charge of the basilica.

Now workers ride the boom lift to the top of the canopy, where they don white hard hats, snap on rubber gloves and pull down dust masks before they knot their safety lines around the neck of a 13-foot angel or the chubby legs of the 8-foot-tall “putti” that adorn the top of the canopy.

Tradition isn’t completely dead, though. During the latest cleaning Dec. 18, Emanuele Roncaccia pulled out a thick length of rope from which dangled a short narrow plank worn smooth from decades of use.

It turns out the bucket lift can’t reach all the dusty niches and nooks under the baldacchino, and the centuries-old method of rappelling and circling round the capitals and columns with a duster in hand works better than the more cumbersome lift.

With a safety line clipped to Roncaccia’s back, workers helped connect the thick rope to his body harness. He slid the wooden plank under his backside, then launched himself carefully off the ridge of the top of the canopy.

Four workers up top held both the rope and the safety line as he quietly called out his next move. “Don’t let me down too much,” he cautioned.

“At first you’re really scared because it’s not something you do every day,” he told Catholic News Service. “But then you remember you’re physically fastened to the church and what could go wrong? Then you start only thinking about what you have to do” and it gets easier.

Though he and his colleagues looked outfitted for an alpine expedition, Roncaccia said their job is easier than being a mountain climber: “We only have to go down, they have to go up.”

Just a dozen men out of the 78-man corps of basilica workmen – known as “sanpietrini” (which might be translated as “St. Peter’s Boys”)- are tasked with the wall-crawling work of cleaning inside and outside the basilica at dizzying heights.

The sanpietrini’s supervisor, Andrea Benedetti, said he studied to be an accountant, but his “passion” is wood- and metalworking. Having taken courses in mountain climbing and skydiving, he said, made him all the more qualified “to put myself at the service of the Fabbrica di San Pietro, of the basilica, to go clean high places, high monuments.”

Even after 17 years of climbing and cleaning the baldacchino, he said, each time he goes up “is still like the very first time because each time you’re surprised by some new detail.”

Workers in the past added their own special touch by etching their names and the year they climbed the monument into the giant gilded globe that tops the canopy.

The spiraling columns are especially replete with intricate details that the untutored eye could easily miss, Carlo-Stella said, such as a bronze rosary hanging off the base of one column as if someone absent-mindedly left it behind.

“Bernini gives a playfulness to the piece” especially evident in the large “putti” or cherubs playing with the papal keys and tiara on the canopy’s top, she said. Yet she noted that the canopy’s magnificence is meant to mark the most venerated place in the church – the tomb of St. Peter below – and to highlight the altar where the pope, the successor of Peter, celebrates Mass.

Roncaccia and Benedetti both said that the best part of their job is the personal satisfaction they get after having done an important service to the church for Christmas Eve, when television cameras are focused on the pope under the baldacchino.

“Many of those cameras are high definition and they can see every speck of dust,” Roncaccia said. “We don’t want the pope to look bad.”

Saint Rosine, virgin and martyr

February 24, 2026

A young woman martyrdom from the early centuries, venerated in Swabia since the 14th century — whose discreet memory is kept alive in the chapel of Wenglingen, near Augsburg loyalty to the point of bloodshed. Between history and legend, its cult speaks volumes: purity and the martyrdom as a total gift to God.

Rosine died for her faith. We don't know exactly when, nor precisely how—and yet, for seven centuries, the faithful of Swabia have returned to pray at her tomb. This paradox is itself a message: what matters is not always what is proven, but what is passed on. Her feast day invites us to rediscover the quiet courage of martyrs anonymous.

A virgin named after a rose

Rosine belongs to this constellation of martyrs of the early centuries, the exact history of which has been lost in the upheavals that followed the persecutions Roman. Its name Latin, Rosina, evokes the rose — a Marian and Christological symbol at the same time, a flower of blood and beauty.

Origins and ancient tradition

No contemporary documents from his life survive. Historians place his martyrdom between the 2nd and 4th centuries, during the period of the great persecutions of the Roman Empire against Christians. Some local sources, taken up by the diocese of Augsburg, link it to the tradition of the holy virgin martyrs of the East or of Northern Italy, whose relics were sometimes transferred to the Germanic regions in the Carolingian era or in the late Middle Ages.

The Swabian region, gradually evangelized between the 6th and 8th centuries thanks to the effort missionary Irish and Benedictine, incorporated the cult of many saints whose relics arrived from Rome or from the East. It is likely in this context that the name of Rosine began to circulate in local piety.

The emergence of the cult in the 14th century

The cult of Saint Rosine is attested in Swabia from the 14th century onwards. This period corresponds to an intense flourishing of popular devotion to saints. martyrs, This trend, fueled by the Black Death (1347-1351) and the need for intercessors in the face of death, led rural communities to gravitate towards local saints who could protect their villages and families.

Wenglingen, attached locality Today The village of Ruderatshofen, in the district of Ostallgäu in Bavaria, became the center of worship. Local tradition states that the relics—or some of them—were deposited and venerated there in a primitive oratory. This place gradually became a regional pilgrimage site.

The chapel of 1679

The decisive event for Rosine's memory was the construction of a dedicated chapel in 1679—within the context of the Counter-Reformation and the post-Tridentine Catholic revival.’Catholic Church, keen to anchor faith popular in specific locations, it encourages the construction or restoration of sanctuaries. The chapel of Wenglingen is part of this dynamic.

Her iconography was then established: Rosine is depicted as a virgin. martyrdom bearing the lily (symbol of purity), the palm (symbol of the martyrdomand the sword (the instrument of her supposed death). The altarpiece shows her surrounded by roses, an allusion to her name and to Marian tradition. This image would become the canonical image of the saint for subsequent generations.

Patron saint of Wenglingen

Rosine is recognized as the patron saint of the town of Wenglingen, near Apfeltrang. Her patronage extends to the protection of the local farming community, the defense of women and girls, and intercession for a peaceful death. The feast day is celebrated within the Diocese of Augsburg, which maintains her memory in the liturgical calendar local.

Its legacy remains modest on a global scale, but it is real and vibrant on a local scale. It is precisely this type of holiness — rooted, discreet, faithful — which nourishes the life of the ordinary Church, far from the great media canonizations.

Blood and Roses

Rosine is a martyrdom Christian whose relics have been venerated in Wenglingen since at least the 14th century, in the diocese of Augsburg.

A local hagiographic tradition recounts that Rosine, a young Christian virgin of noble or foreign origin, refused to renounce her faith before a Roman magistrate or a barbarian chieftain. According to some versions, she lived for a time as a hermit in the Swabian forests before being discovered and condemned. Instead of her martyrdom, Roses are said to have miraculously bloomed on the snow—a sign of divine approval. This legend of "blood roses" is common to several virgin martyrs (one thinks of Saint Dorothea of Caesarea, of Saint Rose of Lima) and belongs to the symbolic repertoire of martyrdom feminine in the Christian West.

Without taking a position on the historicity of the miracle, the symbolism is clear. The rose that blooms in the snow says that grace Triumph of death, may the beauty of God withstand the cold of violence. For medieval believers, this sign spoke directly: the Virgin martyrdom It is not defeated. It flourishes. This symbolic language, inherited from patristics and liturgy, remains comprehensible. Today for those who are willing to enter into its logic.

The association of the name Rosina The association with the rose is not insignificant. In biblical tradition, the rose symbolizes the Bride of God. Song of Songs (I am the rose of Sharon, (Ct 2:1). Themartyrdom She is the one who took this nuptial gift to its extreme: she gave her life to the Bridegroom rather than deny him. The rose and the sword together summarize this entire theology of martyrdom.

Spiritual message

The grace of a fidelity without witnesses

Rosine had no biographer. No Eusebius of Caesarea to tell her story. martyrdom. No letter from a bishop attests to her bravery. She died in obscurity — and it is precisely this obscurity that speaks to our time.

We live in a world of hyper-visibility. Everything is documented, shared, and validated by the gaze of others. temptation It is great to only do good if it is visible, to only pray if it impresses, to only commit oneself if it is recognized.

Rosine says the opposite. She recalls that God sees in secret (Mt 6,4). THE martyrdom silent — to endure hardship without complaint, to remain faithful when no one is watching, to love without to wait for returning — is a real form of Christian witness.

Think of a rose blooming in the back of a garden that no one visits. It blooms nonetheless. Its beauty doesn't depend on human perception. This is the image of authentic spiritual life: it lives for God, not for show.

Saint Paul written to the Romans (Rm 8,18) : The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us. Rosine believed it until the very end. Today, This conviction is offered to us in turn.

Prayer

Through the intercession of Saint Rosine, virgin and martyrdom

Lord Jesus, you gave to Rosine grace to prefer you above all else — to his safety, to his life, to the approval of men. We pray to you through his intercession.

Grant us grace of loyalty Discreet. When no one is watching, when we remain upright. When the truth It costs us something, that we may have the courage to hold fast to it. When prayer becomes dry and without consolation, that we may continue to come to you — simply, humbly.

Give us, as you gave Rosine, a virgin's heart: not the absence of love, but love put in order, directed towards you first and foremost, offered to others from you.

May the lily of purity bloom in our intentions. May the palm of martyrdom May daily life—the small sacrifices, the silences kept, the services rendered without return—be borne with peace. May the sword not frighten us: you have borne it before us, and you transform every wound into resurrection.

Saint Rosine, you whose name bears the rose and the blood, intercede for us with the Father. Teach us to blossom where we are planted, to give fragrance even in the cold, to die to ourselves so that Christ may live in us. (Ga 2,20).

Amen.

To live

Spiritual gesture Light a candle this morning while silently naming someone who is suffering without anyone knowing — and entrust them to the intercession of Saint Rosine.

Concrete service Do an anonymous favor Today — without signing, without to wait for Thank you. Let God alone see it.

10-minute lecture : Read the Song of Songs 2,1-7 (I am the rose of Sharon) and ask yourself: In what way is my life a gift to the Bridegroom?

Memory and places

Wengligen, heart of the cult

The sanctuary of Wenglingen is the geographical and spiritual center of devotion to Saint Rosine. This hamlet, administratively attached to the municipality of Ruderatshofen in the district of Ostallgäu, is located in the Bavarian Lower Allgäu, a region of gentle hills between the Danube and the Pre-Alps, marked by a strong popular Catholic piety.

The chapel, built in 1679, still stands and remains a local pilgrimage site. Its simple architecture, typical of Swabian Baroque rural chapels, contrasts with the rich symbolism of its interior. The altarpiece depicts Rosine in her triple iconography: lily, palm, sword—to which are added roses, a reminder of her name and the Virgin Mary.

The relics

Local tradition preserves the memory of a reliquary containing relics attributed to Saint Rosine. Their exact origin remains difficult to establish with historical certainty. It is possible that they were transferred from Rome — like many relics of martyrs The catacombs fostered piety in Germanic regions during the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in the context of the Counter-Reformation. The Diocese of Augsburg, to which Wenglingen belongs, recognizes the cult and maintains its liturgical memory.

Rooted in Swabian piety

Catholic Swabia has developed a particularly vibrant local pilgrimage culture. Shrines like the one in Wenglingen dot the landscape, offering the faithful human-scale "spiritual retreats," far removed from the grand basilicas. This network of rural chapels constitutes a geography of faith popular, which historians of religion are beginning to rediscover and value.

The feast of Saint Rosine attracts pilgrims from the region every year, particularly from the neighboring parishes of Apfeltrang, Ruderatshofen, and the surrounding villages of Ostallgäu. A procession and a solemn mass traditionally mark this celebration, in accordance with the liturgical forms specific to the diocese of Augsburg.

Artwork and iconography

The altarpiece in the Wenglingen chapel is the major work of art associated with Saint Rosina. Its precise dating and attribution remain to be established by specialists in Bavarian Baroque art, but it reflects the characteristic style of the late 17th century: gilding, drapery, and the expressiveness of the face of the martyrdom. The roses painted on the altarpiece constitute a distinctive iconographic element, rare in the representation of martyrs and directly linked to the name of the saint.

On the site Santa Rosina di Wengglingen (Italian source), an illustration reproduces this iconography, testifying to an interest beyond the German linguistic borders in this local cult.

Liturgy

Suggested reading : Ap 7,9-17 (the crowd of martyrs before the Lamb) — Psalm 116 (precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful) — Mt 10,28-33 (Do not fear those who kill the body)

Entrance chant : Your estis lux mundi or a hymn to the virgin martyrs from the Gregorian repertoire

Liturgical color : Red (martyrdom) — or White according to local customs (virgin)

Preface Preface to martyrs («"You glorify your power in the weakness of those who have overcome the world."»)

Proper prayer In the absence of a specific form, the common prayer of the Holy Virgin Martyrs from the Roman Missal is suitable.

Local festival Celebrated in the diocese of Augsburg, in Wenglingen-Ruderatshofen (Bavaria, Germany— precise date varies according to the local calendar

The Sinister History of Christmas Traditions: Dark Pagan Rituals Behind Holiday Cheer

By Dan Padavona

December 18, 2025

Thriller and Mystery News

The Dark History of Christmas Traditions

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year—or so we’re told. Behind the twinkling lights, cheerful carols, and family gatherings lies a darker history that most people never learn. Many beloved Christmas traditions have roots in ancient pagan rituals involving human sacrifice, demonic creatures, deadly plants, and supernatural beliefs that would terrify modern celebrants. From the horned beast Krampus who punishes naughty children to the deadly poison lurking in mistletoe, the true origins of Christmas customs reveal a fascinating and sometimes frightening past that’s been sanitized over centuries.

Understanding Pagan Roots of Christmas

Before Christianity spread across Europe, ancient peoples celebrated winter solstice festivals with rituals designed to survive the darkest time of year and ensure the sun’s return. These celebrations involved:

Core Pagan Winter Solstice Beliefs

Sun worship: Rituals to encourage the sun’s return after the longest night

Ancestor veneration: Believing dead relatives returned during dark winter months

Protective magic: Warding off evil spirits attracted to darkness

Fertility rituals: Ensuring crops and animals would return in spring

Community bonding: Group activities to survive harsh winter together

Why Christianity Adopted Pagan Traditions

When Christianity spread through Europe (300-1000 CE), church leaders faced a problem: people didn’t want to give up their beloved winter festivals. The solution was brilliant and practical:

Date alignment: Christmas (December 25) placed near winter solstice (December 21)

Symbol adaptation: Pagan symbols given Christian meanings

Ritual transformation: Dark ceremonies became joyful celebrations

Cultural integration: Local customs preserved but reinterpreted

Gradual change: Slow evolution rather than sudden replacement

This process, called syncretism, allowed Christianity to spread while preserving ancient customs—though their original dark meanings were largely forgotten.

Gradual evolution: Traditions changed slowly over centuries, not overnight

Regional variation: Different areas developed different traditions based on local customs

What’s Likely but Unproven

Human sacrifice: Some evidence suggests ritual killing during winter festivals

Specific meanings: Exact interpretations of ancient symbols are often speculative

Universal practices: Not all regions practiced the same dark rituals

What’s Probably Exaggerated

Widespread cannibalism: Regular ritual eating of humans likely rare

Constant terror: Ancient peoples probably weren’t constantly afraid

Immediate adoption: Christian-pagan blending took centuries, not years

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these dark origins actually true, or just scary stories? A: Many have solid historical evidence, but some details are speculative. Christmas definitely incorporated pagan traditions, and some involved dark practices, but not everything was as sinister as modern interpretations suggest.

Q: Should Christians be concerned about celebrating Christmas given its pagan origins? A: Most theologians and historians note that modern Christmas has been thoroughly Christianized. The original meanings have been transformed, and current celebrations focus on Christian themes of love, giving, and family.

Q: Which Christmas traditions have the strongest evidence for dark origins? A: Christmas trees, mistletoe, and Yule logs have the clearest connections to pre-Christian practices. Krampus traditions are well-documented in Alpine regions.

Q: Are any of these dark traditions still practiced today? A: Krampus celebrations continue in Austria and Germany. Some wassailing traditions survive in England. Most others exist only as folklore or have been completely transformed.

Q: How did early Christians justify adopting pagan traditions? A: Early church leaders believed that God had prepared pagans for Christianity through their existing traditions. They saw parallels between pagan and Christian themes as divine providence.

Q: Are there any Christmas traditions that are purely Christian in origin? A: Nativity scenes and Christmas carols about Jesus’s birth are purely Christian. However, even these sometimes incorporated existing musical and artistic traditions.

Q: Why were ancient winter festivals so often associated with death and sacrifice? A: Winter was genuinely life-threatening for ancient peoples. High death rates during cold months led to associations with supernatural dangers requiring appeasement.

Q: Do other holidays have similarly dark origins? A: Yes! Halloween, Easter, and Valentine’s Day all have pre-Christian origins with some dark elements. Most major holidays blend ancient and modern traditions.

Modern Krampus Revival and Dark Christmas Culture

Contemporary Krampus Celebrations

In recent years, there’s been a revival of interest in darker Christmas traditions:

Krampus runs: Events in major cities where people dress as Christmas demons

Horror movies: Films like “Krampus” (2015) bringing ancient fears to modern audiences

Alternative celebrations: People seeking authentic, non-commercial holiday experiences

Cultural tourism: Visits to Alpine regions during traditional Krampus festivals

Academic Interest

Universities and museums increasingly examine Christmas’s complex history:

Folklore studies: Academic programs studying seasonal festivals

Anthropological research: Understanding ritual purposes and cultural evolution

Historical exhibitions: Museums displaying pre-Christian holiday artifacts

Religious studies: Examining syncretism between pagan and Christian traditions

Conclusion: Embracing the Darkness Behind the Light

Understanding the dark origins of Christmas traditions doesn’t diminish the joy and meaning of modern celebrations—it enriches them. These ancient practices reveal universal human needs: community bonding during difficult times, hope for renewal after darkness, and rituals to make sense of mortality and survival.

The transformation of dark pagan rituals into joyful family traditions represents one of humanity’s greatest cultural achievements. We’ve taken practices born from fear, desperation, and supernatural terror, and evolved them into celebrations of love, generosity, and hope.

Whether you see Christmas trees as symbols of Christ’s eternal love or remnants of sacred groves, whether mistletoe represents romantic affection or ancient sacrifice sites, whether Santa embodies generous spirit or echoes the Wild Hunt—all these interpretations coexist in our rich cultural heritage.

The sinister history behind Christmas traditions reminds us that even our brightest celebrations emerged from humanity’s darkest fears. In transforming rituals of death into festivals of life, ancient terror into modern joy, and pagan desperation into Christian hope, we demonstrate our species’ remarkable ability to find light in darkness and create meaning from chaos.

So this Christmas, as you hang your wreath (ancient sacrifice marker), kiss under the mistletoe (deadly ritual plant), and gather around the tree (sacred execution site), remember that you’re participating in traditions thousands of years old—traditions that began in blood and darkness but evolved into light and love. That transformation itself might be the most miraculous Christmas story of all.

The darkness doesn’t diminish the light—it makes the light more precious, more meaningful, and more worthy of celebration.

The Big Little Jesus

Dragnet

Plot

Synopsis - The Big Little Jesus Season 3 Episode 17 12-24-53 Friday, Smith are small talking while Joe prepares his Christmas cards for mailing. They are working robbery when the phone rings, the Old Mission Church has had a theft, the baby Jesus statue was taken from the manger; gone. Friday, Smith are on the way to the church.

Joe narrates the church was at Sunset Blvd. and Main, it was there before the trains came to town; an old church. Father Xavier Rojas meets with the officers, saying the manger scene was put up every December 21st and taken down after the holy season; the infant statue was missing, it had been there thirty years. It was last scene the night before, the Father would like it returned before Christmas Day Mass, less than twenty-four hours. Friday, Smith say they would see what they could do. Father Rojas tells the men the statue can be replaced at a low cost, but it would not be the same, as children have come and some gone while the statue has been at the church.

Pawn shops are notified of the theft, one altar boy is questioned, he went home immediately after mass, the other altar boy was not at home, his father said he had a part-time job, but he would be able to meet the police afterward. Friday, Smith check with Mr. Flavin, a religious artifacts shop-owner, eccentric is Mr. Flavin, no luck with anyone selling him a statue.

Friday, Smith move on to their next possible lead. At HQ, Joseph Heffernan, the other altar boy comes in reporting the statue could have been there, but he was not certain. There was one person left in the sanctuary when he left, a familiar parishioner, no name given, a description given and a possible employer. Checking with the employer yielded nothing, but they did get his name, Claude Stroup. The altar boy noticed Stroup was carrying a bundle when he left the church.

The officers go to a transient hotel, where Stroup lives, talk to the desk clerk. He says Stroup is not in, telling the men of times long ago when Stroup was accused of a robbery. Friday thinks Stroup is their guy based on the bundle he was carrying and his past troubles. Friday, Smith leave word with the desk clerk to call them when he sees Claude, and not to say anything to him.

Friday narrates Stroup's name was run through records, there was no record of him under that name. The Captain insists they meet a criminal coming down from up north, priority over finding the statue even though the hotel clerk just called; Stroup is in the lobby. The Captain has a change of mind, says he can send two others to meet the bus, he orders Friday, Smith to attend to the missing statue.

Friday, Smith pick up Claud Stroup at his hotel and bring him downtown for questioning. He borrowed a friend's car, when he leaving, the car bumped another vehicle, that is what he thinks the police are questioning him. The bundle was his torn-pants in for repair. He says he would not take a statue. Friday says he does not think Claude would either; Friday tells him to go home, Smith says there is no report of any vehicle accident or otherwise. It is time they tell the priest they have been unsuccessful.

Friday, Smith go tell the priest they have had no luck finding the statue. The Father said he understood. A little boy is coming into the church, pulling a wagon, the statue is in the wagon. The Father addresses the boy as poquito. The boy's name is Paco Mendoza, he took the statue yesterday, saying he had promised the baby Jesus would have the first ride in the new wagon if his prayers were answered; he got the wagon. Paco Mendoza and Father Rojas return the statue to the manger.

Father Rojas explains the firemen fix old toys and give them to children. Paco's family is poor says Father; Friday replies, Are they Father? Friday, Smith walk out of the church; case closed.

Church interiors were photographed in the Old Mission Plaza Church, founded September 4, 1781, the founding date of The City of Los Angeles.

The Parable of the Dragnet

47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

On March 1, 1932, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. (born June 22, 1930), the 20-month-old son of colonel Charles Lindbergh and his wife, aviatrix and author Anne Morrow Lindbergh, was murdered after being abducted from his crib in the upper floor of the Lindberghs' home, Highfields, in East Amwell, New Jersey, United States.[1] On May 12, the child's corpse was discovered by a truck driver by the side of a nearby road.[2][3]

In September 1934, a German immigrant carpenter named Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested for the crime. After a trial that lasted from January 2 to February 13, 1935, he was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Despite his conviction, he continued to profess his innocence, but all appeals failed and he was executed in the electric chair at the New Jersey State Prison on April 3, 1936.[4] Hauptmann's guilt or lack thereof continues to be debated in the modern day. Newspaper writer H. L. Mencken called the kidnapping and trial "the biggest story since the Resurrection".[5][6] American media called it the "crime of the century"; legal scholars have referred to the trial as one of the "trials of the century".[7] The crime spurred the U.S. Congress to pass the Federal Kidnapping Act (commonly referred to as the "Little Lindbergh Law"), which made transporting a kidnapping victim across state lines a federal crime.[8]

Rapture

rapture (n.)

c. 1600, "act of carrying off" as prey or plunder, from rapt + -ure, or else from French rapture, from Medieval Latin raptura "seizure, rape, kidnapping," from Latin raptus "a carrying off, abduction, snatching away; rape" (see rapt). The earliest attested use in English is with women as objects and in 17c. it sometimes meant rape (v.), which word is a close relation to this one.

The sense of "spiritual ecstasy, state of mental transport or exaltation" is recorded by c. 1600 (raptures). The connecting notion is a sudden or violent taking and carrying away. The meaning "expression of exalted or passionate feeling" in words or music is from 1610s.

also from c. 1600

PARTICULAR AND DAILY EXAMEN

It contains in it three times, and two to examine oneself. The first time is in the morning, immediately on rising, when one ought to propose to guard himself with diligence against that particular sin or defect which he wants to correct and amend. The second time is after dinner, when one is to ask of God our Lord what one wants, namely, grace to remember how many times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect, and to amend himself in the future. Then let him make the first Examen, asking account of his soul of that particular thing proposed, which he wants to correct and amend. Let him go over hour by hour, or period by period, commencing at the hour he rose, and continuing up to the hour and instant of the present examen, and let him make in the first line of the G------- as many dots as were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect. Then let him resolve anew to amend himself up to the second Examen which he will make. The third time: After supper, the second Examen will be made, in the same way, hour by hour, commencing at the first Examen and continuing up to the present (second) one, and let him make in the second line of the same G------- as many dots as were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect. FOUR ADDITIONS FOLLOW TO RID ONESELF SOONER OF THAT PARTICULAR SIN OR DEFECT First Addition. The first Addition is that each time one falls into that particular sin or defect, let him put his hand on his breast, grieving for having fallen: which can be done even in the presence of many, without their perceiving what he is doing. Second Addition. The second: As the first line of the G------- means the first Examen, and the second line the second Examen, let him look at night if there is amendment from the first line to the second, that is, from the first Examen to the second. Third Addition. The third: To compare the second day with the first; that is, the two Examens of the present day with the other two Examens of the previous day, and see if he has amended himself from one day to the other. Fourth Addition. The fourth Addition: To compare one week with another, and see if he has amended himself in the present week over the week past. Note. It is to be noted that the first (large) G------- which follows means the Sunday: the second (smaller), the Monday: the third, the Tuesday, and so on.

Countdown to the Messiah

Daniel 9:24 gives the Hebrew Nation a 483 year countdown to the year that the Messiah would arrive on the scene (column 2 row 3 of our next table). Luke records that Jesus began to be about 30 years old when he was revealed as the Messiah at the Jordan River baptism.

Three and a half years later the Messiah is crucified, by no coincidence it is forty years before the total Desolation of the Temple and the Nation by the Roman army, the people of the prince that shall come, as foretold by Daniel and Jesus. If any period of time deserves the title, “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” it would be this forty years. And if those days had not been shortened no flesh (Jacob) would have been saved, but for the Elect's sake (those obedient Hebrew's who would spread the gospel) those days of persecution were shortened to prevent the annihilation of even the elect. Many try to apply this verse to the days preceding the return of Messiah but this is not logical because the elect will all be resurrected at that time so those days will not need to be shortened for their sake. Because first century Christians were a sect of the Jews it was necessary for the Elect to survive the desolation of the Hebrew Nation at the end of that century.

1989 (MCMLXXXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 1989th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 989th year of the 2nd millennium, the 89th year of the 20th century, and the 10th and last year of the 1980s decade.

1989 was a turning point in political history with the "Revolutions of 1989" which ended communism in Eastern Bloc of Europe, starting in Poland and Hungary, with experiments in power-sharing coming to a head with the opening of the Berlin Wall in November, the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia and the overthrow of the communist dictatorship in Romania in December; the movement ended in December 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Revolutions against communist governments in Eastern Europe mainly succeeded, but the year also saw the suppression by the Chinese government of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing.

It was the year of the first Brazilian direct presidential election in 29 years, since the end of the military government in 1985 that ruled the country for more than twenty years, and marked the redemocratization process's final point.

F. W. de Klerk was elected as State President of South Africa, and his regime gradually dismantled the apartheid system over the next five years, culminating with the 1994 election that brought jailed African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela to power.

The first commercial Internet service providers surfaced in this year,[1][2] as well as the first written proposal for the World Wide Web and New Zealand, Japan and Australia's first Internet connections. The first babies born after preimplantation genetic diagnosis were conceived in late 1989.[3]

The other 9/11: George H.W. Bush's 1990 New World Order speech

Out of these troubled times, a new world order can emerge.

By George H.W. Bush|Contributor

12:41 PM on Sep 8, 2017 CDT

Editor's note: The following is an excerpt of George H.W. Bush's speech before a joint session of Congress on Sept. 11, 1990, in which he describes his vision of a new world order amid the Persian Gulf crisis. Read the full speech here.

We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge: a new era — freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.

A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak. This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and other leaders from Europe, the Gulf, and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come.

The test we face is great, and so are the stakes. This is the first assault on the new world that we seek, the first test of our mettle. Had we not responded to this first provocation with clarity of purpose, if we do not continue to demonstrate our determination, it would be a signal to actual and potential despots around the world. America and the world must defend common vital interests — and we will. America and the world must support the rule of law — and we will. America and the world must stand up to aggression — and we will. And one thing more: In the pursuit of these goals, America will not be intimidated.

President George Bush and first lady Barbara Bush welcomed Soviet President Mikhail...

Vital issues of principle are at stake. Saddam Hussein is literally trying to wipe a country off the face of the Earth. We do not exaggerate. Nor do we exaggerate when we say Saddam Hussein will fail. Vital economic interests are at risk as well. Iraq itself controls some 10 percent of the world's proven oil reserves. Iraq plus Kuwait controls twice that. An Iraq permitted to swallow Kuwait would have the economic and military power, as well as the arrogance, to intimidate and coerce its neighbors — neighbors who control the lion's share of the world's remaining oil reserves. We cannot permit a resource so vital to be dominated by one so ruthless. And we won't.

Recent events have surely proven that there is no substitute for American leadership. In the face of tyranny, let no one doubt American credibility and reliability. Let no one doubt our staying power. We will stand by our friends. One way or another, the leader of Iraq must learn this fundamental truth. From the outset, acting hand in hand with others, we've sought to fashion the broadest possible international response to Iraq's aggression. The level of world cooperation and condemnation of Iraq is unprecedented. Armed forces from countries spanning four continents are there at the request of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia to deter and, if need be, to defend against attack. Moslems and non-Moslems, Arabs and non-Arabs, soldiers from many nations stand shoulder to shoulder, resolute against Saddam Hussein's ambitions. ...

I cannot predict just how long it will take to convince Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. Sanctions will take time to have their full intended effect. We will continue to review all options with our allies, but let it be clear: We will not let this aggression stand.

George H.W. Bush was the 41st president of the United States.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations (UN) members in 2015, created 17 world Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim of these global goals is "peace and prosperity for people and the planet"[1][2] – while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. The SDGs highlight the connections between the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development. Sustainability is at the center of the SDGs, as the term sustainable development implies.

These goals are ambitious,[according to whom?] and the reports and outcomes to date indicate a challenging path. Most, if not all, of the goals are unlikely to be met by 2030. Rising inequalities, climate change, and biodiversity loss are topics of concerns threatening progress. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to 2023 made these challenges worse, and some regions, such as Asia, have experienced significant setbacks during that time.

There are cross-cutting issues and synergies between the different goals; for example, for SDG 13 on climate action, the IPCC sees robust synergies with SDGs 3 (health), 7 (clean energy), 11 (cities and communities), 12 (responsible consumption and production) and 14 (oceans).[3][4]: 70 On the other hand, critics and observers have also identified trade-offs between the goals,[4]: 67 such as between ending hunger and promoting environmental sustainability.[5]: 26 Furthermore, concerns have arisen over the high number of goals (compared to the eight Millennium Development Goals), leading to compounded trade-offs, a weak emphasis on environmental sustainability, and difficulties tracking qualitative indicators.

The political impact of the SDGs has been rather limited, and the SDGs have struggled to achieve transformative changes in policy and institutional structures.[6] Also, funding remains a critical issue for achieving the SDGs. Significant financial resources would be required worldwide. The role of private investment and a shift towards sustainable financing are also essential for realizing the SDGs. Examples of progress from some countries demonstrate that achieving sustainable development through concerted global action is possible. The global effort for the SDGs calls for prioritizing environmental sustainability, understanding the indivisible nature of the goals, and seeking synergies across sectors.

2030-2031 APPARITION CHARACTERISTICS

Another general rule for predicting oppositions of Mars is from the following: the planet has an approximate 15.8-year periodic opposition cycle, which consists of three or four Aphelic oppositions and three consecutive Perihelic oppositions. Perihelic oppositions are also called "favorable" because the Earth and Mars come closest to each other on those occasions. We sometimes refer to this as the seven Martian synodic periods. This cycle is repeated every 79 years (± 4 to 5 days) and, if one were to live long enough, one would see this cycle nearly replicated in approximately 284 years. The 2031 Mars apparition is considered Transitional (between Aphelic and Perihelic) because the orbital longitude at opposition will be 68.4° from the aphelion longitude of 70° Ls and 111.6° Ls from perihelion (250° Ls).

NOTE: Ls is the planetocentric longitude of the Sun along the ecliptic of Mars’ sky. 0° Ls is defined as that point where the Sun crosses the Martian celestial equator from south to north, that is the planet’s northern hemisphere vernal equinox. The other Ls values that define the beginnings of Martian northern hemisphere seasons are: summer, 90° Ls; autumn, 180° Ls; and winter, 270° Ls. For Mars’ southern hemisphere these values represent the opposite seasons. Distance (A.U.) - Distance from Earth to Mars in astronomical units, where one (1) A.U. equals 92,955,807.267 miles or 149,597,870.691 km.

Opposition occurs 11 months after conjunction when Mars is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. At that time, the two planets will lie nearly in a straight line with respect to the Sun, or five weeks after retrogression begins. Opposition will occur at 1157 UT on May 04, 2031 (138.4° Ls) with an apparent planetary disk diameter of 16.7 arcsec. Mars will remain visible for more than twelve months after opposition and then become lost in the glare of the Sun around May 31, 2032 as it approaches the next conjunction (July 11, 2032). The cycle is complete in 780 Earth days.

Closest approach occurs at 0350 UT on May 12, 2031 (142.1° Ls) with an apparent planetary disk diameter of 16.9 at a distance of 0.5533578 astronomical units (AU) or 51,437,823 miles (82,781,152 km). During closest approach in 2031 the apparent diameter of Mars will be 2.4 arcsec larger than it was at the same period in 2029; however, it will be 17.1 degrees lower in the sky - not quite as good for observing the Red Planet for observers in the northern hemisphere. It should also be noted that closest approach between Earth and Mars is not necessarily coincident with the time of opposition but varies by as much as two weeks.

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the

bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; (Mat 27:50-51)

He, the Messiah did it, He caused the "sacrifice and the oblation to

cease" by the sacrifice of Himself.

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the

same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he

had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of

God; (Heb 10:11-12)

Yes the priests may have replaced the torn veil and attempted to carry

on as before, but God thereby declared an end to the priest, temple

sacrifice system. The overspreading of abominations? ...complete with the

National rejection of God's Messiah and any attempt to continue with the

blood of calves and goats instead. The desolation of the city and the

temple were determined. Forty years, and the consummation would come

like a flood with the people of the prince to come, the Roman army.

Stelle is an unincorporated community located in Rogers Township in northern Ford County, Illinois, United States. As of 2013, its estimated population was 100.

The community was established as an intentional community in the early 1970s. In 1982, Stelle transitioned to a standard homeowner's association, a structure it maintains today.[2]

Historical overview

Stelle was founded in 1973 by the Stelle Group, a Chicago-based organization established by Richard Kieninger, a writer and teacher who also played a role in founding Adelphi, Texas. In the 1950s, Kieninger was a student of the Lemurian Fellowship in Ramona, California.[citation needed]

Its founders, who belonged to a recently formed group from Chicago, purchased farmland in the northern part of Ford County and developed a suburban-style community. Stelle initially operated as a private community.

In 1982, Stelle transitioned into a homeowner association and opened to the public. Following the transition, Stelle became notable for the incorporation of solar panels on many homes and residents' emphasis on cooperative enterprises.[3] The village has its own telephone company, providing telephone, television, and internet services. Additional community features include a community garden co-op, a tool co-op, and a weekly communal dinner. Stelle also hosts educational events open to the public.

Pope Leo XIV[a] (born Robert Francis Prevost,[b][c] September 14, 1955) is head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State. He is the first pope to have been born in the United States and North America, the first to hold American and Peruvian citizenships, the first from the Order of Saint Augustine, and the second from the Americas after his predecessor Pope Francis.

Prevost was born in Chicago and raised in the nearby suburb of Dolton, Illinois. He became a friar of the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained as a priest in 1982. His service includes extensive missionary work in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, where he worked as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine, he was based in Rome from 2001 to 2013, and extensively traveled to the order's provinces around the world. He then returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome, and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

Made a cardinal by Pope Francis, Prevost emphasized synodality, missionary dialogue, and engagement with social and technological challenges. He also engaged with issues such as climate change, global migration, church governance, and human rights, and expressed alignment with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

Prevost's election in the 2025 papal conclave was unexpected by observers; he was a dark horse candidate, with Vatican insiders believing that a pope would never emerge from the United States while a superpower.[8][9] He took his papal name in honor of Pope Leo XIII, who developed modern Catholic social teaching amid the Second Industrial Revolution.

Stelle Group

The Stelle Group was founded in Chicago in 1963 by Richard Kieninger, a former student of the Lemurian Fellowship. That same year he released an autobiography, The Ultimate Frontier, under the pseudonym Eklal Kueshana. The book described Kieninger's occult accomplishments, beginning with his meetings with a Dr. White on Kieninger's twelfth birthday. Originally Stelle members were also required to join and absorb the teachings of the Lemurian Fellowship, a practice that continued until the disruptions of the mid-1970s.

White taught Kieninger about reincarnation and suggested that he was both King David and Akhnaton. He gave Kieninger his mission: to found a new nation that was to center on an ideal community, Stelle City, near Kankakee, Illinois. By 1970 there were enough members and capital to purchase land, and Stelle City began to rise out of the surrounding corn fields. Some urgency pervaded the creation of Stelle, as The Ultimate Frontier predicted a massive natural catastrophe to be triggered by the alignment of the planets on May 5, 2000. Before that, in 1999, an atomic war would occur, killing 90 percent of the Earth's population.

Stelle grew steadily until 1976, when Kieninger left and formed a second community near Dallas, Texas, called the Adelphi Organization. It later was revealed that Kieninger had been expelled from Stelle for having sexual liaisons with several married women in the community. A leadership struggle ensued among the Illinois members after Kieninger's departure. A number, including the entire board of trustees and Kieninger's ex-wife, left the community. Those remaining reconciled with Kieninger. The headquarters of the Stelle group was moved to Texas in 1982, and Kieninger was named "Chairman of the Board for Life." However, by 1986 new problems had emerged, and Kieninger was forced out again.

He resigned and founded another organization, the Builders of the Nation, in Dallas. A short time later he again assumed control of the Adelphi Organization, and the Texas and Illinois groups separated.

As of the mid-1990s, the members of the Stelle Group are concentrating on applying Lemurian philosophy to their daily lives. The group is currently led by Tim Wilhelm. Address: The Stelle Administration Building, Stelle, IL 60919.

CHAPTER 6

LEARNING ABOUT LEARNING

Psychologists have spent decades running rats through mazes and

watching pigeons peck disks in "Skinner Boxes." Most of these experiments have been conducted in order to prove one or another theory as to how the behavior of organisms is modified through the process we call "learning." This chapter adopts a much less pedantic tone and seeks only to give you some information about the processes of learning to assist you in making desirable changes in your own lifestyle. The good news here is that such changes are possible in spite of past learned, unhelpful behaviors/ relationships.

Continuing with the evolutionary perspective we adopted in discussing the nervous system, it is, quite obviously, adaptive, it has importance for survival, to do things that result in "good" things happening to us. A good example here is picking up the phone to order a pizza when we're hungry. Shortly after this action, a delivery person appears at our door and gives us a steaming, tasty pie which, at least in the short run, improves the quality of our lives. We say, technically, that the behavior of calling the pizza place to put in an order has been rewarded, or "positively reinforced." The fact that the delicious food was, in fact, brought to us shortly after we phoned in the order makes it more likely that we will repeat this action the next time we feel the pangs of hunger. That's how "Positive Reinforcement," or just plain "reward" if you prefer, works. It increases the probability that

| Robert W. Wildman, II, Ph.D. & Julius M. Rogina, Ph.D., ABMPP |

whatever behavior it follows will be repeated in the future. We've learned

here to phone a particular restaurant when we're hungry.

But this habit of calling a certain pizza place isn't necessarily "written in stone." What do you think would happen if one day you phoned the restaurant and ordered your favorite pizza, and yet an hour went by without the deliverer appearing at your doorstep? Certainly, you'd be frustrated, perhaps even angry. You'd probably phone up the restaurant and suggest in your own way they "get on the stick." But still no pizza. At this point a call to another pizzeria would seem to be in

order.

Would you ever call the "No Show Pizza Joint" again? Maybe. You might figure that they, like everyone else, just had an off night. So you might give them a second chance. But if they repeated their no show performance Italian restaurant would, several times, that particular Italian restaurant would, without doubt, be off your speed dialer!

out

doubt

The purpose of the above example is to show you that learning, or "conditioning," tends not to bring about an eternal change in one's behavior. Just as you learned by being reinforced by the pleasure of eating a delicious pizza to call a particular Italian restaurant, you went on to learn not to call that restaurant when they let you down several times. Psychologists, by the way, call the process of learning not to do something you had previously learned to do "extinction."

The other side of the picture is learning not to do something you might naturally be inclined to do. Og, our great, great, great...grandfather was walking down the jungle path, alone now after Ug was eaten. He was hungry, and the red berries looked pretty good to him. So down they went. But pretty soon they came back up again, accompanied by some reasonably severe digestive complaints. No more of the red berries for Og! He had learned not to eat them. As we say, he was "punished" for downing

those red berries.

Thus far we've introduced the two great principles of learning, reward and punishment. Of course, there's nothing too dramatic in what's been presented here. These facts of human behavior are so well known that they're sometimes called "Grandma's Laws." After all, she knew from long years of experience to give you a piece of her wonderful cherry pie after you did your chores and not before. And if you did something seriously out

of line, there were consequences!

But while the general principles of reward and punishment are quite straightforward and simple, many of the details are not. These learning phenomena are, in fact, so complex that there are times when they

| Health and Happiness |

don't appear to work. For example, good academic work is rewarded with A's and sometimes money and treats by parents. Why, then, don't kids do better in school? On a longer-range basis, the completion of higher education is strongly associated with higher earnings. Why don't more people stay in school? Speeding on the highways is punished with expensive tickets and higher insurance rates. Then why do we see so many speeders on the roads? Excessive drinking brings about hangovers and physical problems like liver disease. Overweight people get fewer "strokes" than do their trimmer peers. Why then...well, you

get the idea.

But before we get into some of the apparent contradictions between how we would expect things to work and how they actually do, there are several more learning phenomena we need to discuss. nem

We have seen that reinforcement is the process by which the future probability of a behavior is increased. The specific kind of reinforcement we've been looking at is "positive reinforcement." This is when you give a person something she or he likes following that person's doing something positive. Grandmother telling you that you're a "good boy" and giving you a piece of pie when you hang up your coat after school is a perfect example of positive reinforcement.

19nions

But there's a different type of reinforcement called "negative reinforcement." This is not punishment. Embarrassingly, even some psychologists get punishment and negative reinforcement mixed up. Remember, reinforcers make activities more likely to be repeated, and punishers make them less so. Negative reinforcement is in operation when a certain behavior enables you to escape or avoid something unpleasant. These two types of negative reinforcement are called "escape" and "avoidance" learning. Don't psychologists apply clever names?

A child who doesn't like school and frequently complains of vague aches and pains may be an example of escape conditioning. She has probably learned that griping about a stomach ache is good for a trip down to the nurse's office and sometimes all the way back home. In either case, she's allowed to escape, if only briefly, from the classroom environment she seems to experience as being so oppressive, oral alt

If this kid plays her cards right, she might even graduate to avoidance conditioning. If she catches on to the idea of raising the issue of her physical problems before first bell, she might even avoid school altogether! Table 6-1 summarizes the main types of learning for your future reference.

LEARNING

GUTENBERG CHOSE the Bible to demonstrate movable type

not so much that the common man might be brought

nearer to God, but that he and his backer, Dr. Johannes

Faust, might make a killing in the book trade.

Prior to 1450, Bibles were so rare they were conveyed by deed,

like parcels of real estate. A Bible took nearly a year to make, com

manding a price equal to ten times the annual income of a pros

perous man. Johannes Gutenberg intended his first production, a

folio edition of the 6th-century Latin Bible (known as the Vul

gate), to fetch manuscript prices. Dr. Faust discreetly sold it as a

one-of-a-kind to kings, nobles, and churches. A second edition in

1462 sold for as much as 600 crowns each in Paris, but sales were

too sluggish to suit Faust, so he slashed prices to 60 crowns and

then to 30.

This put enough copies into circulation for Church author

ities to notice that several were identical. Such extraordinary uni

formity being regarded as humanly impossible, the authorities

RULERS OF EVIL

charged that Faust had produced the Bibles by magic. On this pre

text, the Archbishop of Mainz had Gutenberg’s shop raided and a

fortune in counterfeit Bibles seized. The red ink with which they

were embellished was alleged to be human blood. Faust was arrest

ed for conspiring with Satan, but there is no record of any trial.

Meanwhile, the pressmen, who had been sworn not to disclose

Gutenberg’s secrets while in his service, fled the jurisdiction of

Mainz and set up shops of their own. As paper manufacture im

proved, along with technical improvements in matrix cutting and

type-casting, books began to proliferate. Most were editions of the

Vulgate. In the decade following the Mainz raid, five Latin and

two German Bibles were published. Translators busied themselves

in other countries. An Italian version appeared in 1471, a Bohemi

an in 1475, a Dutch and a French in 1477, and a Spanish in 1478.

As quickly as our generation has become computer-literate, the

Gutenberg generation learned to read books, and careful readers

found shocking discrepancies between the papacy’s interpretation

of God’s Word and the Word itself.

In 1485, the Archbishop of Mainz issued an edict punishing

unauthorized Bible-reading with excommunication, confiscation

of books, and heavy fines. The great Renaissance theologian

Desiderius Erasmus challenged the Archbishop by publishing, in

1516, the first printed edition of the Greek New Testament. He

addressed the anti-Bible mentality in his preface with these words:

I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private

persons read the Holy Scriptures nor have them translated into

the vulgar tongues, as though either Christ taught such difficult

doctrines that they can only be understood by a few theologians,

or the safety of the Christian religion lay in ignorance of it. I

should like all women to read the Gospel and the Epistles of

Paul. Would that they were translated into all languages so that

not only the Scotch and Irish, but Turks and Saracens might be

able to read and know them.

A Catholic monk named Martin Luther, against the advice of

his superiors, plunged into the New Testament of Erasmus. He was

CHAPTER 4

MEDICI LEARNING

shocked by the absence of scriptural authority

for so many Church traditions. Of the seven

Church Sacraments only two, Baptism and

the Lord’s Supper, were grounded in

Scripture. The remaining five – Confir

mation, Absolution, Ordination, Mar

riage, and Extreme Unction – were the

inventions of post-biblical councils and

date for celibacy of monks and nuns, or for

pilgrimages and the veneration of sacred

relics. The Church taught that prayer, good

works, and regular participation in the Sacra

Martin Luther

ments might save man from eternal damnation. Luther found this

to be opposed to the teaching of Scripture. According to Scripture,

only one thing can save man from the consequences of his sins:

God’s grace, and that alone.

The most explosive result of Luther’s Bible-reading was its atti

tude toward the papacy. Nowhere in Scripture could the passion

ate monk find that God had ordained an imperious Roman “Vicar

of Christ” to rule over a vast economy based on selling rights to do

evil. These rights were called indulgences. They had been a

Church tradition since Pope Leo III had begun granting them in

the year 800, payable in the money coined by Pope Adrian I in

780.

Indulgences were floated on the Church’s credibility, rather

like government bonds are issued on the credibility of states today.

In 1491, for example, Innocent VII granted the 20-year Butter

briefe indulgence, by which Germans could pay 1/20th of a guilder

for the annual privilege of eating dairy products even while merit

ing from fasting. The proceeds of the Butterbriefe went to build a

bridge at Torgau. 1 Rome’s indulgence economy was as extensive as

America’s income tax system today. And it was every bit as fueled

by the people’s trembling compliance, voluntarily, to a presump

tion of liability.

In 1515 Pope Leo X issued a Bull of Indulgence authorizing let

RULERS OF EVIL

nable, 2

ters of safe conduct to Paradise and pardons for every evil imagi

from a 25-cent purgatory release (the dead left purgatory

the instant one’s coins hit the bottom of the indulgence-salesman’s

bucket) to a license so potent that it would excuse someone who

had raped the Virgin Mary. For the payment of four ducats, one

could be forgiven for murdering one’s father. Sorcery was pardoned

for 6 ducats. For robbing a church, the law could be relaxed for

only 9 ducats. Sodomy was pardoned for 12 ducats. Half the rev

enues from Leo’s indulgence went to a fund for the building of St.

Peter’s Cathedral, and the other half to paying 40% interest rates

on bank loans subsidizing the magnificent works of art and archi

tecture with which His Holiness was establishing Rome as the cul

tural capital of the Renaissance. Historians have glorified Leo,

whose father happened to be the great Florentine banker Lorenzo

d’Medici, by marking the sixteenth century as “the Century of Leo

X.”

In early 1521, Martin Luther formally protested the indulgence

racket by nailing his famous Ninety-five Theses Upon Indulgences to

the door of the castle church of Wittenburg. The church was said

to own a lock of the Holy Virgin’s hair worth two million years of

indulgences. Luther’s Theses exhorted Christians “to follow Christ,

their Head, through penalties, deaths, and hells,” rather than pur

chase “a false assurance of peace” from Church indulgence-sales

men.

Leo had Luther arrested and detained for ten months in Wart

burg Castle. While in custody, Luther managed to translate the

Greek New Testament of Erasmus into German. Its publication

alarmed the broadest reaches of Roman authority. D’Aubigne, in

his History of the Reformation, tells us that “Ignorant priests shud

dered at the thought that every citizen, nay every peasant, would

now be able to dispute with them on the precepts of our Lord.”

Meanwhile, Leo X died. The new pope, Adrian VI, hardly

eulogized Leo when confessing to the Diet of Nuremberg that “for

many years, abominable things have taken place in the Chair of

Peter, abuses in spiritual matters, transgressions of the Command

ments, so that everything here has been wickedly perverted.” 3

CHAPTER 4

MEDICI LEARNING

Adrian died shortly after speaking these lines, to be succeeded by

the Cardinal who had been handling Martin Luther’s case all

along, another Medici, Leo X’s first cousin, Giulio d’Medici. Giulio

took the papal name Clement VII.

Just as Leo X’s corruption had ignited Luther, Clement VII’s

shrewdness determined how the Church would deal with the pro

liferation of Bibles. Clement was personally advised by the cagey

Niccolo Machiavelli, inventor of modern political science, and

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Chancellor of England. Machiavelli and

Wolsey opined that both printing and Protestantism could be

turned to Rome’s advantage by employing movable type to pro

duce a literature that would confuse, diminish, and ultimately mar

ginalize the Bible. Cardinal Wolsey, who would later found Christ

Church College at Oxford, characterized the project as “to put

learning against learning.” 4

Against the Bible’s learning, which demonstrated how man

could have eternal life simply by believing in the facts of Christ’s

death and resurrection, would be put the learning of the gnostics.

Gnosticism held out the hope that man could achieve everlasting

life by doing good works himself. To put it succinctly, Bible-learn

ing was Christ-centered; gnostic learning was man-centered.

An enormous trove of gnostic learning had been brought from

the eastern Mediterranean by agents of Clement VII’s great-grand

father, Cosimo d’Medici. Suppressed since the Emperor Justinian

had piously shut down the pagan colleges of Athens back in 529,

these celebrated mystical, scientific and philosophical scrolls and

manuscripts flattered humanity. They taught that human intelli

gence was competent to determine truth from falsehood without

guidance or assistance from any god. Since, as Protagoras put it,

“man is the measure of all things,” man could control all the liv

ing powers of the universe. If elected and initiated into the secret

knowledge, or gnosis, man could master the cabalah – the “royal sci

ence” of names, numbers, and symbols – to create his very own

divinity.

Cosimo had stored huge quantities of this pagan material in his

library in Florence. The Medici Library, whose final architect was

RULERS OF EVIL

Michaelangelo, welcomed scholars favored by the papacy. These

scholars, not surprisingly, soon began emulating the papacy in

focusing more upon humanity than upon the Old and New Testa

ments. So extensive was the Medici Library’s philosophical influ

ence that even scholars today consider it the cradle of Western

civilization.

Martin Luther, seeing that learning against learning was the

future of Christianity, voiced an “Appeal to the Ruling Classes”

(1520), in which he wrote, rather prophetically:

Though our children live in the midst of a Christian world,

they faint and perish in misery because they lack the Gospel in

which we should be training and exercising them all the time. I

advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not

reign paramount. Schools will become wide-open gates of hell if

they do not diligently engrave the Holy Scriptures on young

hearts. Every institution where men are not increasingly occu

pied with the word of God must become corrupt.

It was one thing to recommend learning against learning, and

quite another to manage its multiple dimensions. Learning against

learning amounted to no less than making war on the Bible. To

wage such a war, the papacy needed a new priestly order of pious

soldiers conditioned to wield psychological weapons on a battle

field of... human thought. But first, there had to be a general. The

man chosen to lead the assault on the Bible was a swashbuckling

adventurer from the proud Basque country of northern Spain.

Galatians 5:19-25 NABRE

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ [Jesus] have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

https://www.bible.com/bible/463/GAL.5.19-25.NABRE

In Codependent No More, Melody Beattie identifies the "martyrdom complex" as a core codependent behavior where individuals compulsively sacrifice their own needs, happiness, and safety to fix, manage, or rescue others. This pattern stems from a need to feel indispensable, but leads to resentment, exhaustion, and loss of self.

Key Aspects of the Martyrdom Complex (Beattie):

Definition: Sacrificing one's needs to manage someone else's life, often acting as a caretaker or rescuer.

The Trap: It is a, "painful, exhausting, self-erasing pattern".

Hidden Motive: While appearing selfless, it often stems from a need for control or a fear of abandonment.

The Result: Instead of gratitude, the martyr often feels, "resentment after giving," and becomes trapped in a "tiny hell" of their own making.

Breaking the Cycle

Beattie emphasizes that to overcome this, one must:

Detach with Love: Stop trying to manage or control outcomes.

Establish Boundaries: Set limits, learn to say "no" without guilt, and protect your own energy.

Shift Focus: Redirect energy from fixing others to personal self-care.

The goal is to move from "enabling" (which stunts the other person's growth) to "nurturing" oneself and allowing others to experience the consequences of their actions.

What does the Bible say about suicide?

Imagine receiving a question late at night from someone that says something like, "My life is meaningless and there is no point in living. If you don't convince me otherwise, I am going to commit suicide in the next hour." What would you do? What I did the first time this happened: I wrote the best possible response I could come up with in 10 minutes and sent it to her. Thankfully, I heard back, and she stated that she had decided not to commit suicide, but, unfortunately, I never heard back from her again after that.

Recent stats say that over one million people a year commit suicide. Just imagine how many people consider committing suicide but never go through with it. When I was a teenager, I briefly contemplated committing suicide. But thankfully, God slapped some sense into me, even though I was not a believer in Christ at the time. Suicide is the ultimate admission from a person that he/she does not have (or at least is not experiencing) the abundant life God promises through Christ (John 10:10). Suicide is the ultimate "I give up" statement. It is a surrender to the belief that a life is so messed up that there is no possibility of salvaging anything from it.

Suicide is a permanent "solution" to temporary problems. It is so sad to hear news reports about teenagers who commit suicide after a relationship break up, or due to bullying at school, or due to some other trivial issue. While it obviously did not seem trivial to the person who committed suicide, in the grand scheme of things, there is nothing that warrants suicide. Problems that seem so overwhelming today will be looked back upon years later as virtually meaningless. Especially for the Christian, with eternity in mind, there is nothing that could happen in this world that would justify committing suicide.

The Bible mentions six people who committed suicide (Judges 9:54; 1 Samuel 31:4-6; 2 Samuel 17:23; 1 Kings 16:18; Matthew 27:5). None of them were righteous, to say the least. The Bible nowhere explicitly states, "it is a sin to commit suicide," but the Bible does condemn murder (Exodus 20:13). Suicide is "self-murder," therefore suicide is a sin since murder is a sin. Aside from the "do not commit murder" command, suicide is also a sin for the following two reasons, one theological and one practical: (1) it is God and God alone who has the right to determine life and death, and (2) suicide reveals a belief that God is not powerful enough to help you solve your problems.

The vast majority of people will agree with us that suicide is a sin. The debate begins, though, with the question of whether suicide is forgivable. Typically, a suicide-related question will be along the lines of: "For God to forgive us, we have to repent from our sins and confess our sins to God. If someone commits suicide, he/she has no opportunity to repent or confess. Therefore, suicide is not a forgivable sin. Anyone who commits suicide is sent straight to hell." There is one primary problem with this line of thought: it does not recognize that Jesus died for ALL of our sins. When God purchased us with the blood of Christ, ALL of our sins were paid for (1 Peter 1:19). If a person who has truly received Jesus Christ as Savior, thereby demonstrating that he/she has been redeemed, reconciled, forgiven, justified, etc., by God, commits suicide, the sin of suicide was covered by the blood of Christ. Now, we can question whether a true Christian could commit suicide, but, if a true Christian were to commit suicide, it would be forgiven. Verses that connect confession with forgiveness (such as 1 John 1:9) are referring to relational forgiveness between a believer and God, not the judicial forgiveness that was perfectly accomplished by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. No, suicide is not an unforgivable sin. Suicide is not greater than the price Jesus Christ paid with His atoning sacrifice.

A side issue related to suicide that we are often asked about is whether Jesus' death should be considered a suicide. After all, Jesus knew what was going to happen to Him, yet He did nothing to avoid it. In fact, He walked straight towards it. Isn't that suicide? No, it most definitely is not. Sacrificing your life on behalf of others is not suicide. Suicide is intentionally killing yourself. Yes, Jesus willingly sacrificed His life, but Jesus did not kill Himself. Similarly, a fireman who dies trying to save someone in a fire did not commit suicide, even if he knew running into the burning building would very likely cost him his life. Another biblical example would be Samson (Judges 16:26-31), who pushed down the pillars of the temple, knowing that it would take his life. However, it was Samson's goal to destroy the Philistines. Samson was willing to sacrifice his own life in order to achieve that goal, but the goal was not specifically to commit suicide. Sacrificing your own life in order to save others is an admission that "you are not your own…you were bought with a price" (1 Corinthians 6:20), and that God's purposes for your life are greater and higher than your preferences.

What does the Bible say about suicide? Simply put, suicide is a sin. It is never the right thing to take your own life. What does the Bible say about suicide? Don't do it! If you are an unbeliever, God is able to redeem your life and give you a true purpose for living through Jesus Christ. If you are a believer, God has already redeemed your life, and no matter how horrible your current circumstances, God can accomplish great things through the rest of your life.

FREEMASONRY AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT

There existed.. in antiquity the great time clock in the night sky, which we still share with

our ancestors. This is the zodiac, a great turning wheel of twelve constellations making a

complete circle every 25,920 years but with each of its twelve constellations in order

having ascendancy over the skies of earth approximately every 2,160 years.

According to zodiacal tradition the ascendency of each new sign every 2,000-odd years is

accompanied by catastrophic or otherwise crucial events on the earth.'

What Is the New Age?

As the zodiacal wheel turns to the constellation of Aquarius, astrologers are studying the stars,

predicting that a major event will soon occur, which will bring in their World Teacher. From the

"New Era" of Emmanuel Swedenborg (1757) until today, the Masonic world has been poised for

the coming of the "New Age." In fact, the title of the Scottish Rite monthly magazine, New Age,

has been suggesting this for over a century.2

"Masonry and the Impending New Era," an article in New Age, July 1941 (five months before

America entered the Second World War), spoke of the "world government" expected to be

established at the conclusion of the war to help usher in a "newer phase of evolutionary

progress."3 In April 1943 the New Age reported that "the struggle for the freedom of man began

with the American and French Revolutions, and World War II is the climax of a world

ideological struggle which started at the end of the 18th Century. It is the struggle of the New

Age against the Middle Age."4

The phrase "Middle Age," as used in the text above, is Masonic jargon for Christianity.

Webster's Dictionary defines the Middle Ages as "the period of European history from about

A.D. 500 to about 1500," - the same period of time the Catholic Church dominated European

politics.

We can readily decode the Masonic lingo above and accurately name the enemy against which

Masons struggle: "It is the struggle of the New Age against the age of Christianity."

Although Masonry's "New Age" dates from the end of the 18th century, the motives of the

modern New Age Movement were not manifest until the end of the nineteenth century, when in

1889 the Luciferian Doctrine of Palladism was introduced to the twenty-three Supreme Councils

of the world. Before this date the general body of English Masons, including most of the

Supreme Council, were not Luciferians, but deists.

339

Atheists, Spiritists and Luciferians

Three significant events prior to the 1889 Masonic Congress prepared English Freemasonry to

accept Lucifer as god. First, in 1877, the existence of God was debated between the atheistic

French Grand Orient and the deistic French Grand Lodge. The Grand Orient had replaced the

Great Architect of the Universe with the slogan "To the Glory of Humanity," declaring "God is

dead?"5

The second event followed that same year when the English Grand Lodge, which requires a

belief in deity, broke fellowship with all Grand Orient bodies throughout the world.

The third event, that of founding the Quatuor Coronati Lodge of Masonic Research in London,

England, actually had its roots in the 1860s, but did not become a reality until three years before

the 1889 International Masonic Congress. In 1860, Great Britain had just concluded her Second

Opium War against China when English Freemasonry, in search of her roots, decided to launch a

massive investigation of Oriental mystery religions. As a result, Masons in various parts of the

British Empire wrote numerous occult books, many of which were repetitive. To avoid further

duplication, Freemason Sir Walter Besant, brother of socialist and theosophist Annie Besant,

began a drive in the early 1870s to organize a Masonic research lodge to catalog the data. In

1886 the Quatuor Coronati Lodge of Masonic Research, No.2076, London, England, was

founded. Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry states that the Quatuor Coronati "has long

since become the supreme court of learning and authority in Masonic scholarship throughout the

World."6

The constitution of this Mother Research Lodge stipulated that forty of the most prestigious

Masons in England be members, one of whom must always be high up in the Anglican Church.

When any "Member of Forty" died, the thirty-nine remaining voted on his replacement. Sir

Walter Besant was one of the original "Members of Forty."

In 1887 a Correspondence Circle was attached to the lodge. Any Mason of literary,

archaeological, or investigative talent could join the Circle. Within a decade the Circle had

printed the Ars Quatuor Coronatorum, a Masonic encyclopedia coordinating all the secrets of

mystery religions in no less than fifty volumes, surpassing in size the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The Members of Forty, whose duty was to study these volumes continually, discovered three

important facts that would determine the future course of English Freemasonry. First was that

ancient pagan religions worshipped Lucifer in various forms. Second was that the Babylonian

priesthood used drugs and sex as a means of people control. Third was that the same Babylonian

priesthood instituted human sacrifice as a means of population control. The Quatuor Coronati

Lodge thereafter offered assistance to any Mason, or group of Masons willing to apply these

discoveries to present day Masonic work.7

By 1889 the hierarchy of English Freemasonry needed only a slight push to plunge headlong into

340

Luciferianism. The World Congress of Freemasonry gave the British Brotherhood the required

nudge. On July 14,1889, the twenty-three 33rd degree Supreme Councils were hosted by the

French Grand Lodge at Paris. The purpose of this gathering was not to unite the Councils

politically, but spiritually - under the banner of the Luciferian doctrine. When Albert Pike's letter

of exhortation was read, the hierarchy of the English Grand Lodge accepted the Luciferian

doctrine, yet remained loyal to the Monarchy. The French and American Grand Lodge

hierarchies followed, but without giving up their republican ideals.

Although a few Grand Orient Masons had accepted Luciferianism years before this convention,

the general body of the Grand Orient lodges, which were formally atheistic, boycotted the French

Grand Lodge convention, simultaneously hosting their own congress. There-after, the Grand

Orients were disallowed admittance to the annual meetings of the Supreme Council of Grand

Lodges.8

Two of the most prominent Grand Orient Masons who did convert to the Luciferian doctrine

were women - Britisher Annie Besant (1847-1933), and Russian Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

(1831-1891). Both were members of English and French obediences. Both were destined to be

the founders of our modern New Age Movement.

Madam Blavatsky had turned to Luciferianism in 1856, when she was initiated into the Grand

Orient Carbonari by Mazzini. Blavatsky did more than publish her revolutionary ideals. She

lived them. In 1866 she joined 33rd degree Grand Orient Freemason General Garibaldi to fight

by his side during the Italian revolution at Viterbo and then at Mentana, where she was seriously

wounded and left on the field as dead. In 1875 she founded the Theosophical Society in New

York, joined English Freemasonry in 1877, and settled in London in 1887. In London she

published her Theosophical magazine, Lucifer the Light-bringer.9

Annie Besant, sister of Freemason Sir Walter Besant, was converted to Luciferianism by Albert

Pike. At the behest of her brother, she was destined to become the president of the Theosophical

Society after Blavatsky's death. Annie was in Paris that fateful 1889 summer when Albert Pike

introduced his Luciferian Doctrine to the twenty-three Supreme Councils of Grand Lodge

Freemasonry. She was not, however, in Paris to attend that convention. Instead, as an

accomplished speaker in her own right, she was scheduled to lecture at the Grand Orient

convention, which was hosting three other occult congresses. Her lecture, which met with

overwhelming success, was intended to turn the atheists toward Spiritism. De Poncins tells the

story:

In July 1889 the International Workers' Congress was held in Paris, Mrs. [Annie] Besant

being one of the delegates. Concurrently, the Marrdstes [sic] held their International

Congress and Mrs. Besant moved, amid great applause, for amalgamation with them. And

yet another International Congress was then being held in Paris, to wit, that of the Spiritists.

The delegates of these occultists were the guests of the Grand Orient, whose headquarters

341

they occupied at 16, rue Cadet. The president of the Spiritists was Denis, and he has made it

quite clear that the three congresses there came to a mutual understanding, for, in a speech

which he afterwards delivered, he said:

"The occult Powers are at work among men. Spiritism is a powerful germ which will

develop and bring about transformation of laws, ideas and of social forces. It will show its

powerful influence on social economy and public life."10

As a result of these three conventions of Unionists, Marxists and Spiritists hosted by Grand

Orient Freemasonry, an amalgamation of mystical spiritism with atheism was successfully

accomplished. Although atheism remained Grand Orient's published dogma, these Masonic

congresses started a spiritist movement - the New Age Movement - which today has encircled

the globe.

The Universal Masonic League

The most significant outcome of these adversarial Masonic congresses meeting on the same date

and location is that shortly after they adjourned, revisionist historians began to observe a gradual

transfer of conspiracy activities from Paris to London. Subsequent events suggest that there was

a secret agreement between the Unionists, Marxists Spiritists and Luciferians. The Grand Orient

had no choice but to cooperate. If its Communist experiment was to be successfully launched, it

needed the support of wealthy British Masons.

We can document two events following this monumental Masonic pow-wow, which reactivated

communication between the two Masonic enemies First, and almost immediately, the English

Grand Lodge began communicating with all continental Grand Lodges and Grand Orient bodies

of Freemasonry through the Swiss Grand Lodge Alpina, which recognized, not only the Grand

Lodge of France, but the Grand Orients of France, Spain, Italy and Greece. Second, on August

30, 1913, the Universal Masonic League was founded at Berne, Switzerland, where both warring

bodies of Freemasonry could meet on neutral ground. Mackey's Encyclopedia of Free masonry

states that the object of this League was "to further the intimacy of relations between members of

all regular Lodges, Grand Lodges, and Grand Orients of all Rites and countries of the world."11

Hence, de Poncins writes, "between Anglo-Saxon [English] Freemasonry and Latin [Grand

Orient] Freemasonry there are indirect but effective relations which are far closer than is

admitted."12

The Universal Masonic League was only the beginning of inter-national Masonic cooperation.

The Grand Orient's superficial alienation from annual Grand Lodge Supreme Council meetings

compelled English Freemasonry to form sub-lodges, wherein both adversarial Freemasonries

could meet on common ground without having to travel to Switzerland. The Quatuor Coronati

Research Lodge was assigned the task of creating these lodges.

Msgr. Dillon, although writing in 1885, explained how easy this inter-Masonic communication

342

was to accomplish: "by its [the Grand Orient's] hidden friends scattered through British lodges,

there have been at all times, at least in London, some lodges affiliated with Continental lodges.

and doing the work of Weishaupt. [Thus, the intercourse between the delegates of English and

French Lodges] had an immense effect in causing the vanguard cries of the Continental lodges to

find a fatal support from British Masons in and out of Parliament."'3

Sub-Lodges of the New Age

British conspiracy investigators of the 1920s were unable to detect that the two warring Masonic

bodies had united and moved head- quarters to London. They knew only that the Grand Orient

had crossed the Channel. They assumed its intent was subversive - to penetrate British lodges.

Therefore, several British conspiracy authors began warning the English Masons of a French

Grand Orient takeover. One of these was Nesta Webster, who in 1924 wrote Secret Societies and

Subversive Movements. Her warning, however, was twenty years too late. At that time the

Masonic Luciferians and Spiritists had already organized many popular movements in England

as fronts, which could not be connected to Freemasonry without years of research. (The

investigator is normally from thirty to fifty years behind in documentation.) Those on the inside

of these groups, however, who became disillusioned and broke the occult bonds, were able to

illuminate current events. Such was the case in 1930 of another and more revealing author, who

was one of the "insiders" of the New Age Movement in her day. Writing Light-bearers of

Darkness under the pseudonym "Inquire Within," Miss Stoddard (no first name) was one of the

"Ruling Chiefs" of the Mother Temple of the Stella Matutina and R.R. et A.C.'4

Stoddard informs us that the Stella Matutina was a by-product of the research initiated by the

Quatuor Coronati Lodge. As the "Members of Forty" in the Mother Research Lodge received

enough occult information to organize debased sub-Masonic lodges, they assisted Masons of

degenerate character who would carry out the work. Stella Matutina was founded by two

Englishmen near the beginning of the 20th century, each respectively members of the formerly

opposed lodges, the Grand Orient and English Grand Lodge. The Grand Orient Mason was

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), who had been initiated into the 33rd degree in Mexico. (A

photocopy of Crowley's Grand Orient credentials is in Appendix 2, Fig. 28.) The other co

founder was 33rd degree English Grand Lodge Mason, Dr. William Wynn Westcott (1848

1925), a London coroner.15

These sub-lodges became known as co-Masonry, since women were permitted to join. Soon, via

the sub-lodges, witchcraft and drug abuse spread everywhere, even into the highest circles of

society. Satanic jewelry became commonplace. Rituals incorporating mind-altering drugs, orgies

and blood sacrifice were discreetly carried out in the heart of the London slums and on remote

ancestral estates.

Another of the more publicized of these groups was the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn.

Golden Dawn is a synonym for New Age and this society was actually a predecessor of Aleister

343

Crowley's Stella Matutina. The Golden Dawn was founded in 1887 by three members of a

Rosicrucian Society - possibly even of the Priory of Sion itself. Two of the three - an Anglican

priest, Rev. A.F.A. Woodford, a "Member of Forty," and Dr. William Wynn Westcott - were

33rd degree Masons and well-known cabalists. The third was Sam Liddell MacGregor Mathers,

a Scot Mason who was connected to the Priory of Sion through his acquaintance with its Grand

Master, Claude Debussy. 16

Rev. Woodford provided Dr. Westcott with the documentation from the library of the

Correspondence Circle that was the basis for the drug-using and sex-codifying Golden Dawn.

The group was soon joined by three more well-known Luciferians, Spiritists, and Satanists:

Grand Orient Freemason Helena Blavatsky, who remained a member until her death in 1891;

poet William Butler Yeats, an intimate of Sion's Grand Master, Claude Debussy; and Satanist

Aleister Crowley, the man who was to become known worldwide for his practice of black magic.

English Freemasonry's Mother Research Lodge had two specific goals in mind when founding

such sub-societies. The first was to create lodges where Grand Lodge and Grand Orient Masons

could find commonality. The second was to use these sub-societies (which had no apparent

connection with Masonry by name) to penetrate Masonic and non-Masonic British societies with

Luciferianism. This strategy of using sub-lodges deliberately concealed English Freemasonry's

involvement in building the New Age Movement, yet left her hierarchy in direct command.

What took place was the creation of a more debased Freemasonry on both sides of the Channel,

as well as the bringing into existence of a degenerate society. Grand Orient Masons, who had

long since initiated women for use in their drug and sex orgies and witchcraft rituals, once again

used women to carry their doctrine into English Masonry. Stoddard warned the British Masons

of the penetration by Grand Orient Spiritists, who were using female Freemasons in these

English co Masonic lodges. She also confirmed that "English Freemasonry is not occult, though

it has occult Lodges, and most English occultists [who are] not Theosophists are Freemasons, if

men."17

According to Stoddard, the Luciferian New Age plan was to penetrate British society from three

directions: (1) through members of the Theosophical Society, i.e., Madam Blavatsky's (and later

Annie Besant's) followers, apparently headed by the co-Masons; (2) through members of the

Hermetic Orders and Freemasons; and (3) by independents, whether in small groups or

individuals.18

Building the New Age Movement

These three groups, according to Stoddard, were to operate through the following means:

Group 1 works on the familiar lines of lectures, magazine publications, etc. [It] attracts a

large number of idle women who have the leisure to take a little occultism with their after.

344

noon tea. Practically all the members are people with time and money.

Group 2 is small in numbers. It works by Lodges and circulates manuscripts. Its teaching is

done by correspondence, by individual officers, etc. It seldom has lectures. It taps a wholly

different class, gets at more varied social strata, has a far larger proportion of men.... Most of

its men are Freemasons.... These people are busy, there are singularly few idle, moneyed or

leisured women and men among them, they are very proud and independent.... These bodies

are older than the Theosophical Society and they do not forget it.... They must be got at from

within, not from without.

The third group.. will accept no authority over them. This group is non-Masonic, consisting of

men and women of letters, and must be turned through "popular movements."19

The "Double Agent" Strategy

Frenchmen did not understand the English mind. The Grand Orient operatives therefore used

British Grand Orient Masons as double agents. They began their Luciferian and Spiritist

penetration of English Masonry before the turn of the 20th century, at a time when government.

controlled secret intelligence services had not yet been established. Grand Orient Masonry had

long since perfected political and social intelligence penetration prior to, and during the French

Revolution. Masonic double agents were used then and have continued to be used throughout

this intrigue. In a real sense these British subversives were traitors to their own country.

The most degenerate British turncoat of all time was the Satanist, Edward Aleister Crowley.

Crowley, a heroin addict and sexual pervert,20 was in 1913 Patriarch Grand Administrator

General of British Freemasonry's Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis, the same Lodge

mentioned in chapter 10 with connections to the Priory of Sion's Mizraim Lodge at Paris.21 This

evil Masonic lodge incorporated into its rituals the immoral fertility worship of the Dionysian

Mysteries, which included both homosexual and heterosexual orgies.22 In Mexico Crowley was

known as the Beast 666. There he was initiated into the 33rd degree in the Grand Orient Scottish

Rite of Freemasonry. 23

William J. Petersen, in Those Curious New Cults in the 80's, gave us Crowley's background:

Crowley, who honored himself with the title "the wickedest man in the world," was born in

1875 as the son of a wealthy British brewer. His parents, however, were converted to Chris

tianity through the Plymouth Brethren, who take the Bible a lot more seriously than they take

the organized church. A child prodigy, young Aleister got a fiendish delight out of shocking

his parents and playmates, until his mother finally was so outraged that she called him the

Great Beast prophesied in the Book of Revelation.24

Later in life, reports Petersen, Crowley "made a pact with Satan, wrote odes to murderers, called

Queen Victoria dirty names, seduced a housemaid and played around with homosexuality. He

345

wrote a collection of pornographic poems and dedicated them to his uncle, advocated the free use

of drugs and finally established his own villa in Sicily for continual orgies."25 There he revived

barbaric rites that had not been practiced since the time of the Dionysian cults in ancient Greece.

During one ritual in 1921, he induced a he-goat to copulate with his constant female companion,

Leah Hirsig, then slit the animal's throat at the moment of orgasm.

Crowley is famed as the most dedicated Satanist of the twentieth century. He indulged in

blasphemy, displaying his hatred of Christianity by baptizing a toad and naming it Jesus Christ.

Then he slowly crucified it, reveling in its agonies.

Petersen reports that Crowley's life ended in loneliness and despair. "At the age of seventy-two,

in a cheap boardinghouse in Hastings, England, Aleister Crowley, injecting eleven grams of

heroin into his wasted body each day, begged for morphine to kill the pain. But the pain wasn't

assuaged, and Crowley passed on [in 1947] to meet his Maker. " 26

Aleister Crowley and Ritual Human Sacrifice

We mentioned earlier that one of the most immoral Masonic lodges in England was the Order of

the Golden Dawn founded in 1887.

Freemason A.E. Waite, author of A New Encyclopaedia of Freemasony, was also an early

member of this Order. In 1903 a split occurred within the Golden Dawn when some of the

initiates, including Waite, rejected deeper immersion into the occult. Miller writes:

In consequence of the split, the old organization of Golden Dawn changed its name to Stella

Matutina with Aleister Crowley and William Wynn Westcott at its head while the schismatic

order, under A.E. Waite and S.L. MacGregor Mathers, the latter a friend of [Freemason]

Rudolph Steiner, retained the old name of Golden Dawn. In 1912, Golden Dawn merged with

Stella Matutina.27

The Order of the Golden Dawn produced two horrifying and destructive offshoots, the Order of

the Temple of the East and the Thule Society. These two societies were the breeding grounds for

the inner core of the Nazi movement. Their amoral systems had long before been concealed in

the Supreme Council of Grand Orient Freemasonry. In 1902 at Berlin, under the guidance of the

Quatuor Coronati Lodge, Grand Orient Freemason Karl Keilner, also a Theosophist, cofounded

(with Theodore Reuss) the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), which then absorbed the Order of the

Temple of the East. Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) actually means Order of the Temple of

Lucifer.

Blavatsky's Theosophical Society became the recruiting organization for the O.T.O. Debased

33rd degree Freemasons and homicidal miscreants from all over Europe, Russia, and England,

soon joined the Oriental Templars. Theodore Reuss, a 33rd degree German Grand Orient Mason

and free-lance newspaper correspondent for the London Times, was sent to check out Crowley,

346

possibly to encourage him in joining the Ordo Templi Orientis. Reuss said to Crowley, "Since

you know our hidden sex teachings, you'd better come into our Order.~ Crowley agreed, and

after a journey to Berlin, was initiated into the O.T.O that same year.28

By the end of the decade Aleister Crowley was at the helm of the London chapter of the O.T.O.,

the only chapter known to exist today. It is the most destructive Masonic lodge in the world.

Crowley encouraged his initiates to perform human sacrifices, using young boys as victims. He

himself allegedly took part in 150 ritual murders.29

Crowley called himself "The Master Therion." Miller says that Crowley, in his book Magick

(1930), articulates his rationale for practicing human sacrifice. Miller quotes Crowley in part:

The blood is the life. This simple statement is explained by the Hindus by saying that the

blood is the principal vehicle of vital Prana. There is some ground for the belief that there is

a definite substance, not isolated as yet, whose presence makes all the difference between live

and dead matter.

It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of those savages who tear the heart

and liver from an adversary, and devour them while yet warm. In any case it was the theory of

the ancient Magicians, that any living being is a storehouse of energy varying in quantity

according to its mental and moral character. At the death of the animal this energy is

liberated suddenly....

For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the

greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most

satisfactory and suitable victim.

But the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious; and for nearly all

purposes human sacrifice is the best. 30

Aleister Crowley: Hero of Satanic Rock Stars

Freemason Crowley's murderous influence continues to this day. He is the hero of the modern

Satan worshipers. Anton Szandor Lavey, author of The Satanic Bible, and head of the First

Church of Satan in California, is an admirer of Aleister Crowley. Cofounder of the Church of

Satan is Kenneth Anger, who was initiated into the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O. in the 1940s by

Crowley himself.

Many rock stars are also followers of Crowley, and their songs glorify the evils of Satan. For

instance, Crowley's picture (and that of Karl Marx) is on the cover of the Beatles' album Sgt.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.31 About the album cover, Ringo Starr said, "We just thought

we would like to put together a lot of people we like and admire."32

Author Brian Key, who has studied the role of the media in the decline of our culture, has

347

commented that "[t]he Beatles popularized and culturally legitimatized hallucinatory drug usage

among teenagers throughout the world.... The Beatles became the super drug culture prophets

and pushers of all times."33 The names of their songs witness to this fact. For instance, one

meaning of "day tripper" is to take a shot of heroin in the morning and stay high all day; A

"Yellow Sub-marine" in drug parlance is a yellow qualude, or downer; "Strawberry Fields

Forever" refers to poppy fields. Poppy, the main ingredient of heroin, is red like strawberries;

and in "Hey Jude," Jude means marijuana.34

What are the occult and/or Masonic affiliations or association of rock stars themselves? Led

Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, for instance, is a Mason and member of the Golden Dawn. He owns the

demon-inhabited house of the late Aleister Crowley, a house said to be haunted by a death curse.

Led Zeppelin's drummer, John "Bonzo" Bonham, died in Crowley's mansion, "fueling rumors of

sinister overtones resulting from Page's fascination with black magic." Page has praised Crowley

as "an unrecognized genius of twentieth century thinking."35

Satanist Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is not only a Freemason but also a member of both

Crowley's Golden Dawn and O.T.O. The evil influence on children who listen to his "music" is

enormous. After his heroin arrest he admitted, "There are black magicians who think we are

acting as unknown agents of Lucifer." The Rolling Stones spread revolutionary propaganda

through their song "Street Fighting Man." Their anthems to Satan, "Sympathy for the Devil" or

"Dancing with Mr. D" (the Devil), bear out Richards' comment.36

The leader of the Rolling Stones is Mick Jagger. Early in his singing career Jagger was initiated

into Crowley's Order of the Golden Dawn by Crowley's disciple, Freemason Kenneth Anger.37

Anger's dream was to produce a film glorifying the devil. The movie was to be named Lucifer

Rising. The part of Lucifer was to be played by Bobby Beausoleil, a young guitar player with the

California rock band Love. "After filming for some time, Beausoleil went off the deep end and

committed a bestial murder, including writing on the wall with his victim's blood."38 Beausoleil

was a follower of Freemason Charles Manson, who was also a member of Crowley's O.T.O.39

The groups Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult have had great success selling Satan rock. The

first album of Black Sabbath was entitled Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath. Its cover clearly showed the

cross of Christ placed upside down and the number "666," the mark of the beast. After a concert

in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Tulsa World music critic confirmed that the subject matter of Black

Sabbath's songs are about "the occult, death and drugs."40 Not surprisingly, Ozzy Osbourne,

former lead singer for Black Sabbath, is devoted to Aleister Crowley, saying Crowley was "a

phenomenon of his time. "41

In the early months of their act, Jefferson Airplane's Alice Cooper, American born, and now star

of his own rock group of the same name, killed a live chicken on stage. Included in their album

Killer is the song "Dead Babies." One author reports how Cooper walked "on stage with a life

like-looking doll. With a hatchet he chops it into pieces, gleefully throwing the appendages into

348

the audience. Blood capsules fastened to the back squirt what appears to be blood in every

direction. Afterwards, Alice stands holding up the head of the doll, like a decapitated enemy.

With one final, demoniacal thrust, he impales the head on a microphone stand.... "42

Satanic Murders

The young and impressionable rock and roll audience is programmed at rock concerts to emulate

what they see and hear on stage. This is confirmed by Jimi Hendricks, the innovator of the

heavy, acid, blues-rock sound of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Hendricks said in an interview

with Life magazine that "music is a spiritual thing of its own. You can hypnotize people with

music, and when you get them at their weakest point you can preach into their subconscious

whatever you want to say. " 43

The message of this rock and roll promotes boldly Satanic ritual murder, resulting in human

sacrifices throughout our land. A few examples will confirm this horrifying phenomenon.

On the September 12, 1985, "AM Houston" talk show on KHOU with Roger Gray, psychiatrist

Dr. Peter Olsson detailed his investigation into a Satanic murder by junior high school students.

"Satanism is in," he said. "It's cool to read the Satanic Bible and worship the Beast. Heavy metal

causes it."

Los Angeles, California, was terrorized by a series of Satanic murders. Residents were relieved,

as well as shocked, when the "Night Stalker" was finally captured on September 2, 1985. The

Associated Press news report stated that the "Stalker" was responsible for 16 ritual murders.

During his trial Richard Ramirez displayed in the palm of his hand the pentagram (an upside

down star within a circle), a symbol of Satan. "Hail Satan!" yelled Ramirez as he was led from

the courtroom.44

What made Ramirez kill? According to one news report, "Ramirez was obsessed with satanic

themes in the rock band AC-DC's 1979 album, 'Highway to Hell.' The album cover depicts a

band member dressed as a devil, while another wears a pentagram-shaped pendant. "45 Ramirez'

favorite song was "Night Prowler." The song says in part:

"Was that a noise out your window, or a shadow on your blind? And you lie there naked, like a

body in a tomb, suspended animation as I slip into your room. "46

Satanic murders are not limited to the western half of our nation. In Newark, New Jersey,

January 1988, "Thomas Sullivan was entranced by the occult as he stabbed his mother at least 12

times and tried to kill his father and 10-year-old brother by setting fire to their house.

Then he slit his throat and wrists with a Boy Scout knife, slumping dead on bloody snow in a

neighbor's back yard.... Thomas Sullivan Sr. told the New York Daily News that all last week his

son had been singing a heavy metal song about blood and killing your mother.... A few weeks

before, while doing a research paper on satanism, the all-American neighborhood paperboy

349

became a defiant, hostile teen buried in library books on the occult and listening to heavy metal

rock music."47

On May 16, 1985 the "20/20" TV show reported on a national phenomenon: "The Devil

Worshippers." Correspondent Tom Jarriel said, "America is being affected. Nationwide we

found that minor cases of satanic activity light up the map. Not a single state is unaffected. But

even more frightening is the number of reported murders and suicides with satanic clues. All of

them were investigated by police, but usually without much result. "48

Tom Jarriel told of Ricky Kasso from Northport, Long Island. Kasso and another young man

repeatedly stabbed Gary Lawers to death as the victim was forced to pray to Satan. Jarriel said,

"Despite numerous signs that Kasso was into satanism and rock music associated with devil

worship, police steadfastly refused to label this case satanic. The official explanation: a drug

related crime."49

Jarriel also discussed what has caused these young people to turn to Satanism. First are occult

movies and horror movies. Second are the many books which are available on Satanic worship.

"And finally," said Jarriel, "music, which is found here in the neighborhood record store under

the category of heavy metal music. The satanic message is clear, both on the album covers and in

the lyrics, which are reaching impressionable young minds."

Jarriel continued: "And the musical message comes across loud and clear, at concerts and now

through rock videos. The symbolism is all there: the satanic pentagram, the upside-down cross,

the blank eyes of the beast, the rebellion against Christianity, and again and again, the obsession

with death. According to most groups, it's all done in fun. But according to police it's having an

effect on many children, a growing subculture that mixes heavy metal music with drugs and the

occult. In addition to groups that are blatantly satanic, there are also many recordings which

some believe may contain satanic references in the form of backward messages."

Tom Jarriel asked Northport Police Chief Dale Griffis, "How often do you find heavy metal

music indicators at the scene of a crime involving satanic worship?" The Officer answered,

"Probably about 35 percent, 40 percent of the calls."50

And finally, in a story on the rock concert to feed the starving Ethiopians, ABC News reported

on July 13, 1985 that "If humanity decides to get behind a single message, the possibility to

communicate that message is unlimited. Rock and Roll has proven to be the great communicator

to the world."

In the eyes of the world, what the rock bands did in "Live Aid" and "Band Aid" was honorable.

But by using misfortune to communicate their evil, they deceptively amass multitudes of

followers and co-opt them to their destructive program. Like benevolent Freemasonry which

created them, their inherent evil is evidenced by the fact that many of the rock groups are

admitted Satanists, and admirers of Freemason Aleister Crowley.

350

In the same manner in which Illuminated French Masonry used the music of Mozart to breed

revolution in the minds of youth throughout Europe prior to, and during the French Revolution,

Luciferian English Freemasonry today is using Masonic rock stars to preach in song Aleister

Crowley's Satanic message to our youth, and successfully turning these youths into murderers.

The rise of Satanic music, drugs, shock-horror movies, and ritual Satanic murders is directly

linked to the Masonic Golden Dawn's offshoot, the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). Its purpose is

to groom the young to accept holocaust when it comes, and to participate in it when the Masonic

hierarchy gives the command.

Scarlet and the Beast

by John Daniel

How is Jesus the “True Shepherd” in John 10:1-5?

Answer

By referring to Himself as the True Shepherd, Jesus was invoking imagery that would have been familiar to His hearers. He used the symbols of sheep and their shepherd several times, referring to Himself as not only the “True” Shepherd, but the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), and the Door of the sheep (John 10:7). The three declarations in John 10 present a complete picture of the Lord who is our Shepherd (Psalm 23).

In order to understand what Jesus intended to convey with sheep/shepherd imagery, we must understand the Middle Eastern shepherd of biblical times. His job was a dirty and dangerous one. Many times all the shepherd had to fight off lions and other wild animals was a staff with a crook. He willingly put his life on the line for his flock. At night, he would put the flock in a makeshift pen that had only one way in and out. The shepherd would open to door to the pen, call the sheep by name, and they would come in and settle safely for the night.

Sheep are skittish animals and “spook” easily. Because they knew the shepherd’s voice, they would calm down and follow him and nobody but him. Several flocks can mix together, and when the flocks’ true shepherd speaks, they separate and follow him. If a thief comes, the sheep will not follow him because they do not know his voice. At night the shepherd lies down at the gate to the pen, to give his life if necessary to protect his flock. And the thief can only climb in over the fence because the shepherd is guarding the gate. Jesus is the True Shepherd to the sheep (true believers) who are His. We know Him, we recognize His voice, and we follow only Him (John 10:27–28).

What Jesus is saying here ties right into John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.” Jesus is not only the Good Shepherd who gives His life willingly for His sheep (John 10:11), but He is the also the “gate” or “door” of the sheep (John 10:9). In this metaphor Jesus presents Himself as the One who gives salvation, the One who offers access to heaven. So, Jesus is the True Shepherd who guards His sheep, the Good Shepherd who gives His life for them, and the Doorway to heaven for the sheep who know Him and are known by Him.

Jesus also says there were many who came before Him pretending to be good shepherds. But, He says, they are thieves and robbers who come in among the flock. He is alluding to the false shepherds of Israel, the Pharisees who did not love the people, nor were they willing to sacrifice for them. These self-appointed and self-righteous false shepherds led the sheep of Israel astray from the true knowledge of the Messiah, clinging to a works-based religion that could not lead to salvation (Ezekiel 34:1–31). These leaders were not the true shepherds of Israel but were like thieves that plundered the flock for their own gain. Sadly, such false shepherds still abound today, more interested in fleecing the flock for their own personal gain, than in feeding and protecting the sheep as true under-shepherds to the True Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 10

1599 Geneva Bible

10 1 Christ proveth that the Pharisees are the evil shepherds, 8 and by many reasons, that himself 11, 14 is the good shepherd: 19 And thereof dissension ariseth. 31 They take up stones, 39 and go about to take him, but he escapeth.

1 Verily, [a]verily I say unto you, He that entereth not in by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, he is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that goeth in by the door, is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the [b]porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he hath sent forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This [c]parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily I say unto you, I am that door of the sheep.

8 [d]All that [e]ever came before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 [f]I am that door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall [g]go in, and go out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and have it in abundance.

11 I am that good shepherd: that good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.

12 But an hireling, and he which is not the shepherd, neither the sheep are his own, seeth the wolf coming, and he leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13 So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am that good shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father [h]knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.

16 [i]Other sheep I have also, which are not of this fold: them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice: and there shall be [j]one sheepfold, and one shepherd.

17 [k]Therefore doth my Father love me, because [l]I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself: I have power to lay it down, and have power to take it again: this commandment have I received of my Father.

19 ¶ [m]Then there was a dissension again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear ye him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil: can the devil open the eyes of the blind?

22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the [n]Dedication, and it was winter.

23 [o]And Jesus walked in the Temple, in Solomon’s porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be that Christ, tell us plainly.

25 [p]Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s Name, they bear witness of me.

26 [q]But ye believe not: [r]for ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,

28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of mine hand.

29 My Father which gave them me, is greater than all, and none is able to take them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 [s]Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my [t]Father: for which of these works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For the good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and that thou being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God was given, and the Scripture cannot be [u]broken,

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, then though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

39 [v]Again they went about to take him: but he escaped out of their hands,

40 And went again beyond Jordan, into the place where John first baptized, and there abode.

41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man, were true.

42 And many believed in him there.
