CATHOLIC CHURCH NEEDS MORE EXORCISTS DUE TO URGENT INCREASE IN DEMONIC ACTIVITY, PRIEST WARNS

BY


An Irish priest has put out an urgent call for backup to help with the growing demand for exorcisms in the country, according to reports.

“It’s only in recent years that the demand [for exorcisms] has risen exponentially,”Father Pat Collins said, adding that anyone who doesn’t see the need for more exorcists is “out of touch with reality.” Collins wrote an open letter to Irish bishops asking them to begin training more priests to deal with exorcisms, and he cited the International Association of Exorcists’ belief that demonic activity has increased substantially in recent years.

Collins has been speaking out about the activities of what he has called “the evil one” for years. He is widely considered Ireland’s most prominent exorcist, and he has also advocated for the church to take a more active role in demon hunting.

The number of Catholics in Europe is dropping as young people leave the church and become more secular.

“Adult millennials, defined by the Pew Research Center as people between the ages of 18 and 33, are leaving the Catholic Church rapidly. A 2013 study by the Barna Group, a Christian polling firm, revealed that 65 percent of Catholic-raised young adults say they are less religiously active today than they were at age 15,” a 2014 Pulitzer Center report revealed.

But exorcisms are still occasionally performed in majority-Catholic countries like Ireland and Italy. A 2016 documentary, Deliver Us, about modern-day exorcists, reveals how much the profession has changed over the years. For example, it shows a priest performing an exorcism via mobile phone. In the film, priests complain about being “bombarded by possessed people.”

NORTH KOREANS MARCHED IN SUPPORT FOR KIM JONG UN ATTACKING DONALD TRUMP

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un unleashed his citizens in a march in the capital city of Pyongyang Saturday to display support for his lashings of United States President Donald Trump, Agency France Presse reported.

Tens of thousands of people amassed in the city’s Kim Il-Sung Square—named after the current leader’s grandfather and the nation’s founder—to represent workers, intellectuals and peasants in a likely forced showing of solidarity against Trump and for the totalitarian regime.

Marchers followed a banner reading: "Let us safeguard with our lives the central committee of the party headed by the great comrade Kim Jong-Un."

The march came as Trump and Kim Jong Un exchanged significant barbs this week. During his long-awaited speech before the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, Trump again called Kim “rocket man,” a reference to the government’s ongoing and frightening missile and nuclear testing, and threatened the U.S. could “destroy” the North if it continued to make its own threats towards the U.S. and its allies like South Korea and Japan.

But Trump’s apparent threat of military action against the North only resulted in another warning from Kim. The leader, who took over for his father Kim Jong Il in late 2011, fired back by calling Trump a “barking dog” and said the president would “pay dearly” for his comments before the United Nations.

While the march Saturday was just one of many the North frequently holds in order to show the current government has the backing of its people—actual or not—at least some of the marchers had choice words for Trump.

"I would like to put down my pen and take up arms again to perform my duty to defend the fatherland," a Pyongyang Mechanical University student Ri Il Ung said according to AFP.

The student added: ”Trump is a warmonger and a backstreet gangster. It’s quite ridiculous that such a person could become a politician.”

Trump is far from the first U.S. leader to employ terse or volatile language in attempts to either bring the North’s leadership to its knees or the negotiating table, but Kim has not backed down. President George W. Bush lumped the North together with Iraq and Iran as part of his “axis of evil,” and Barack Obama said the U.S. would defend its allies while speaking in the South in 2014.

North Korea sends rare announcement to all Koreans, calls for unification

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea sent a rare announcement addressed to “all Koreans at home and abroad” on Thursday, saying they should make a “breakthrough” for unification without the help of other countries, its state media said.

It said all Koreans should “promote contact, travel, cooperation between North and South Korea” while adding Pyongyang will “smash” all challenges against reunification of the Korean peninsula.

The announcement, issued after a joint meeting of government and political parties, added Koreans should wage an energetic drive to defuse the acute military tension and create a peaceful climate on the Korean peninsula.

Military tension on the Korean peninsula was a “fundamental obstacle” for the improvement of inter-Korean relations and unification, the North’s official news agency said.

It added joint military drills with “outside forces” has shown to be unhelpful for the development of relations between North and South Korea.

North Korea did not provide details why the meeting had been held but the statement said it was aimed to support leader Kim Jong Un’s remarks regarding unification from his New Year’s address. It said this year is meaningful for both North and South Korea as it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of North Korea while South Korea will be hosting the Winter Olympics next month.

EVIDENCE OF AN ALIEN OR LOST CIVILIZATION IN ANTARCTICA?

Are there aliens in Antarctica? Were there ever? The idea of aliens or a lost civilization having once inhabited, or still inhabiting, Antarctica has been talked about for some time. This isn’t all that far fetched when you consider that we have been, and are currently being visited by extraterrestrials.

It has been hypothesized for centuries, and within the past decade alone, we have seen an enormous amount of evidence showing that UFOs are real, and that some of them might be extraterrestrial in origin. In fact, at the end of 2017, the US Government released an official video of one of these objects for the first time ever. It was filmed travelling at speeds and performing maneuvers that no known air-craft can. The Navy pilot, and another recently retired gentleman from the Department of Defense, Louis Elizondo, both shared their belief that these objects are extraterrestrial, as have many others before them.

The footage came via an “Ariel Threat Identification Program” that had been running, and claims say that it was shut down. Based on all of my research, these programs have been running for a long time, and they’ve never actually been shut down.

It’s a type of secrecy that’s commonly seen in the secret world of black budget and special access programs.

“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defense Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee

Corey Goode, author and alleged Secret Space Program whistleblower has talked about a process of revealing this UFO and ET information to the public slowly. A process referred to as ‘drip disclosure’ or ‘slow disclosure.’ This in itself raises a number of questions and concerns, one of them being the fact that the government and those who use their power to influence government policy have deceived us and provided the public with fake news on so many different topics. A few great examples would be the so-called war against drugs and terrorism. Why should we expect accuracy and truth when it comes to the topic of UFOs?

In a recent interview we did with Corey Goode, we spoke about some of the recent findings in Antarctica as it relates to warm environments beneath the ice that could harbour life. This immediately raises the question of “are we about to hear more drip disclosure about Antarctica?” Why is this question raised? Because many have claimed there are ET remnants and a lost civilization being covered-up in Antarctica.

Corey explains:

You can watch this full interview by becoming a CE Member.

UFO’s have also been spotted many times in Antarctica. Here’s one document from the CIA archives to use as an example, it states as follows:

“ANTARCTIC FLYING SAUCERS” – A group of red, green, and yellow flying saucers has been seen flying over Deception Island for two hours by Argentine, Chilean and British bases (military) in Antarctica. The flying saucers were also seen flying in formation over the South Orkney islands in quick circles.”

You can read more about that, and find a link straight to that document in an article we published earlier about it, HERE.

What’s Going On In Antarctica, Who Can We Trust?

When it comes to the topic of UFOs and extraterrestrials, who can we really trust? The best sources to go off of are the documents that we have, the opinions of researchers from around the world, and the ‘whistleblowers’ that come forward. This is the best way to present information in a credible way and have it touch the masses, especially those who are still unaware of the subject. The positions these whistleblowers have held in their own is right is quite shocking, from ex-Directors to Lockheed martin, to four star generals and more.

That being said, UFO groups and movements also have a long history of infiltration by government connections. Whether they do this, and have done this to find out more information, or to simply litter the field with disinformation is completely separate topic. Organizations like MUFON or initiatives like Project Bluebook are great examples.

This field is full of disinformation, and one must really do their research and learn to use their discernment.

A more modern-day example would be the To The Stars Academy, the group that the US Government went through to release their recent UFO video.

For the most part, the whistleblowers that have come forward are all sharing some very interesting information that corroborates with a lot of information others in the field are sharing as well. To many of them, the reality of the extraterrestrial hypothesis isn’t even a question, based on what they’ve experienced.

“I also learned about incidents involving nuclear weapons, and among these incidents were a couple of nuclear weapons sent into space were destroyed by the extraterrestrials. . . . At the very end of the 70s and the early 80s, we attempted to put a nuclear weapon on the moon and explode it for scientific measurements and other things, which was not acceptable to the extraterrestrials. They destroyed the weapon before it got to the moon.” – Colonel Ross Dedrickson (source)

The next step, would be to examine those who claim to have contact with these beings, and many have.

“Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off.” – John Mack(source)

Many of these people have some amazing stories that corroborate with the stories of others and the information that’s already out there. This makes it easier for UFO researchers to put two and two together.

One great example would be Dr. George King, an ordinary citizen who claimed was contacted by an extraterrestrial intelligence in 1954, known to him as “Aetherius,” whom he said was a highly evolved extraterrestrial from Mars, and part of an alliance of several intelligences from other planets. He spoke of anomalies on mars, and certain extraterrestrial groups concerns about nuclear weapons.

This is where I became interested, because he was speaking about these topics in the 1950’s, and now we have multiple insiders relaying the same type of information.

When it comes to UFOs and nuclear weapons, for example, the information George was relaying back then, has been confirmed now. You can go more in-depth in an article we published earlier about that topic linked below:

Strong Evidence Shows Extraterrestrials Have Been Shutting Down Nuclear Missiles Worldwide For Decades, But Why?

Corey Goode Weighs In On Antarctica

Corey Goode claims to have been part of the Secret Space Program, and to have numerous experiences with extraterrestrial beings. It is true that Goode’s credentials in this program cannot be verified, thus some have had doubts about his credibility. But many of his experiences and much of his information has been corroborated by many other insiders and whistleblowers. This is why we also encourage the use of intuition when looking at this sort of information. ‘How does it feel?’ Is a question you may want to ask yourself.

Nonetheless, we wish to present this information with the utmost of credibility and thus state that to our knowledge Corey appears to be sharing real information although one cannot yet identify who he truly is within these programs. Giving attention to passionate individuals like Corey Goode can opens up the floodgates to criticism, and some would say to stay away due to lack of verifiable information at a credential level. However we choose to cover because based on all of our research, there clearly exists a clandestine black budget secret space operation. If anybody is claiming to come from this world, the least we can do is hear them out and then compare it with all the existing information we have today, to see if there are any similarities or corroboration.

Sometimes, being in this field, we have to venture into curious territory to learn more. That being said, anybody can simply say Corey is somebody who has done is research, and is making up stories. But then again, how do we know testimony from verified whistleblowers is true either? At some point we must use our intuition and other corroborating factors.

It’s up to the you to decide what resonates with them and what doesn’t.

Is It Time To Retire The Word "Capitalism"?

Profile picture for user Tyler Durden


Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

Our current socio-economic system is nothing but the application of force on the many to enforce the skims, scams and privileges of the self-serving few.

I've placed the word capitalism in quotation marks to reflect the reality that this word now covers a wide spectrum of economic activities, very little of which is actually capitalism as classically defined. As I have explained here for over a decade, the U.S. economy is dominated by cartels and quasi-monopolies that are enforced by the Central State, a state-cartel system of financialized rentier skims that has no overlap with Adam Smith's free market, free enterprise concept,i.e. classical capitalism.

This is what passes for "capitalism" in modern-day America: the super-rich get super-richer, a thin slice of technocrats, speculators and entrepreneurs advance their wealth and the vast majority lose ground or stagnate:

Here's another snapshot of state-financier "capitalism" in modern-day America: the centralized organs of the state (the quasi-public Federal Reserve) creates trillions of dollars and hands the nearly free money to financiers, insiders and speculators, all of whom benefit immensely as this flood of cash pushes stocks into the stratosphere:


There are other versions of "capitalism" that are equally rapacious,
all of which are iterations of crony-capitalism: gangster-capitalism, theocratic-capitalism, colonial-capitalism, and so on.

The key feature of these forms of organized pillage that mask their predatory nature by claiming to be "capitalist" is they ruthlessly suppress the three core dynamics of classical capitalism:

1. Competition

2. Open/free markets

3. Free flow of capital in all its forms (financial, social, intellectual, etc.)

The only way the few can pillage the many is if the many are denied access to competition, open markets and freely flowing capital. All the predatory, parasitic and exploitive systems that hide behind the word "capitalism" skim the wealth of the many into the hands of the few by limiting competition (cartels and monopolies such as sickcare and higher education), controlling markets (you must buy from the state-mandated cartels and monopolies) and restricting capital to insiders, financial elites and cronies of the state--three terms that describe one elite.

Once the few eliminate competition, open markets and access to capital, the many are enslaved, regardless of how many times the magic words "democracy" and "capitalism" are invoked to cover the systemic exploitation.

I propose we start calling things by their real names: state-financier systems of rentier skims, and all the other predatory, parasitic exploitive systems operated by the few at the expense of the many will no longer get the cover of the word "capitalism." They will be called what they are: exploitive, predatory, parasitic pillaging that enriches a corrupt self-serving elite that is enforced by a corrupt, self-serving state.

I propose we call free-market, free-enterprise, voluntary systems STOC: sustainable, transparent, opt-in, competition.

These dynamics are the antithesis of the state-cartel hierarchies that dominate the global economy and that function by enriching the few at the expense of the many. If a system is a sustainable, transparent, opt-in free marketplace of open competition, no elite could wrest control of the system to benefit itself at the expense of all the other participants.

I've explained why centralized hierarchies have only one possible output: soaring inequality and injustice in my books Resistance, Revolution, Liberation, Why Things Are Falling Apart, Inequality and the Collapse of Privilege and Why the Status Quo Failed and is Beyond Reform

I've sketched out an alternative way of living in my books Money and Work Unchained and A Radically Beneficial World.

If an economic/financial system isn't sustainable, transparent, opt-in, and wide open to competition, it isn't capitalism--it's a self-serving rentier skim trying to mask its predatory, rapacious reality. Remember,good ideas don't require force, and our current socio-economic system is nothing but the application of force on the many to enforce the skims, scams and privileges of the self-serving few.

It's time to retire the word "capitalism" and strip the predatory, self-serving and thoroughly corrupt elite of their phony cover.
