This autistic young man between 16-18 years old was euthanised in Holland because he was joyless and terribly lonely. Poor,poor boy, instead of adults loving him and helping him, they chose to kill him instead.
That iconic photograph of Winston Churchill earned its creator, Yousuf Karsh, just one hundred dollars—and worldwide fame. But behind that image lies a fascinating story. In 1941, Churchill arrived in Ottawa. To commemorate the visit, Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King invited photographer Yousuf Karsh to take a portrait of the guest after his speech to Parliament. Churchill was escorted into a room where Karsh had already set up his camera and lighting. Years later, Karsh recalled that Churchill wasn’t exactly in the best mood—the photo session came as an unwelcome surprise. “A startled Churchill growled, ‘What is this? What is this?’” Karsh remembered. No one answered him. So I stepped forward and said, ‘Sir, I hope I may be fortunate enough to make a portrait worthy of this historic moment.’” Churchill sat down, lit a cigar, and gave the photographer just two minutes. But the smoke made shooting difficult—and the cigar didn’t fit the image Karsh had in mind. “…More
Honestly, I’ve been sitting with my own thoughts on why Mass attendance has been declining in the Philippines for a while now, because on the surface it looks like a contradiction that just doesn’t make sense at first glance. I mean, when you say “Philippines,” what immediately comes to mind is a deeply Catholic country, right? Around 93 percent of the population identifies as Catholic, which is massive by any global standard. So naturally the question becomes, how do you go from a country that is overwhelmingly Catholic on paper to a reality where regular Sunday Mass attendance is slowly but steadily declining? And from my observations, there isn’t just one single cause, but a whole cluster of spiritual, cultural, and even liturgical issues that have slowly built up over time. First and probably most important, especially with younger generations, is that a lot of people simply don’t know the faith anymore. And I don’t say that in a harsh way, I say it in a very straightforward way …More

Europe’s quiet role in the war on Iran As European leaders call for restraint and diplomacy; their actions tell another story. From military infrastructure to political alignment, Europe is not standing apart from the war on Iran; it is entangled in it, exposing a deeper pattern of dependence on the United States and strategic decline. European leaders have responded to the war on Iran with a familiar language: calls for restraint, appeals to diplomacy, and renewed commitments to international law. From Brussels to Berlin, the language has been measured, even cautious. Yet the gap between what Europe says and what it does has rarely been so stark. While European governments publicly distance themselves from escalation, their infrastructure, alliances, and policies continue to sustain the very war effort they claim to oppose. Military bases, logistical networks, and intelligence frameworks tied to NATO remain fully operational. Arms flows continue. Political backing, though often indirect …More
2024-06-13 Reconquest - Do Not Be Deceived | … June 13, 2024 God the Father. Do not be deceived. Dictated in English. NOTE: The footnotes are not dictated by God. They are added by Sister. Sometimes the footnote is to help clarify for the reader Sister’s sense of the meaning of a certain word or idea, and at other times to better convey the sense of God’s tone when He spoke. Further Note from Sister: In these Messages, the use of all caps is a way to denote the importance that is being given to particular words or passages. It does not indicate anger or shouting, but rather “listen children, this is important.” I was surprised at how much He used this “tone” in this writing. Write for My children, who have waited for My Words, for My Light. [smile] My beloved children, your Abba is attentive to your hearts and speaks Words of comfort and consolation to you, who have drawn close to My Heart, who have offered Me your love, your adoration, your listening heart. My children, I need your …More
She is a pagan atheist! Just as well she didn't give a message, she would probably have given a "woke" interpretation to Easter as she did with St. Patrick's Day. She is not fit to be president of anything. She is a disgrace!
