“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:5,6 (KJV)

If Pope Francis was a Bible believing Christian, he would have spoke to President Trump about his soul and his eternal destiny. If Pope Francis was a Bible believing Christian, he would have given him the gospel of the grace of God as first preached by the apostle Paul. But Pope Francis is neither a Bible believer nor a Christian, so what is he? He is a king over the country of Vatican City, and when the president arrived he did what any other worldly king would do. He talked politics, and the gospel of Climate Change in particular.

Pope Francis joined an international chorus urging Donald Trump to meet U.S. commitments on climate change in talks at the Vatican Wednesday

Pope Francis gave President Trump a copy of his 2015 encyclical calling for urgent, drastic cuts in fossil-fuel emissions after a half-hour meeting in his private study.

Francis’s choice of gift suggests he is adding his voice to those pressing Trump not to renege on the Paris accord, which is the cornerstone of global efforts to limit climate change. The Vatican said in a statement that the talks focused on international affairs and the promotion of peace, with particular emphasis on health care, education and immigration.

10 Things You May Not Know About the Vatican

The Vatican and Vatican City are many things to many people, but God has a rather unique name for it. The Bible calls the Roman Catholic Vatican system the “Whore of Babylon”, and describes her in graphic detail in Revelation 17 and 18 in your King James Bible.

So here are 10 fun facts that you should know about the “mother of harlots” that is the Vatican.

  • 1. Vatican City is the smallest country in the world. Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head. The Vatican mints its own euros, prints its own stamps, issues passports and license plates, operates media outlets and has its own flag and anthem. One government function it lacks: taxation. Museum admission fees, stamp and souvenir sales, and contributions generate the Vatican’s revenue.
  • 2. St. Peter’s Basilica sits atop a city of the dead, including its namesake’s tomb. A Roman necropolis stood on Vatican Hill in pagan times. When a great fire leveled much of Rome in A.D. 64, Emperor Nero, seeking to shift blame from himself, accused the Christians of starting the blaze. He executed them by burning them at the stake, tearing them apart with wild beasts and crucifying them. Among those crucified was St. Peter—disciple of Jesus Christ, leader of the Apostles and the first bishop of Rome—who was supposedly buried in a shallow grave on Vatican Hill. By the fourth century and official recognition of the Christian religion in Rome, Emperor Constantine began construction of the original basilica atop the ancient burial ground with what was believed to be the tomb of St. Peter at its center. The present basilica, built starting in the 1500s, sits over a maze of catacombs and St. Peter’s suspected grave.
  • 3. Caligula captured the obelisk that stands in St. Peter’s Square. Roman Emperor Caligula built a small circus in his mother’s gardens at the base of Vatican Hill where charioteers trained and where Nero is thought to have martyred the Christians. To crown the center of the amphitheater, Caligula had his forces transport from Egypt a pylon that had originally stood in Heliopolis. The obelisk, made of a single piece of red granite weighing more than 350 tons, was erected for an Egyptian pharaoh more than 3,000 years ago. In 1586 it was moved to its present location in St. Peter’s Square, where it does double duty as a giant sundial.
  • 4. For nearly 60 years in the 1800s and 1900s, popes refused to leave the Vatican. Popes ruled over a collection of sovereign Papal States throughout central Italy until the country was unified in 1870. The new secular government had seized all the land of the Papal States with the exception of the small patch of the Vatican, and a cold war of sorts then broke out between the church and the Italian government. Popes refused to recognize the authority of the Kingdom of Italy, and the Vatican remained beyond Italian national control. Pope Pius IX proclaimed himself a “prisoner of the Vatican,” and for almost 60 years popes refused to leave the Vatican and submit to the authority of the Italian government. When Italian troops were present in St. Peter’s Square, popes even refused to give blessings or appear from the balcony overlooking the public space.
  • 5. Benito Mussolini signed Vatican City into existence. The dispute between the Italian government and the Catholic Church ended in 1929 with the signing of the Lateran Pacts, which allowed the Vatican to exist as its own sovereign state and compensated the church $92 million (more than $1 billion in today’s money) for the Papal States. The Vatican used the payment as seed money to re-grow its coffers. Mussolini, the head of the Italian government, signed the treaty on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III.
  • 6. Popes did not live at the Vatican until the 14th century. Even after the construction of the original St. Peter’s Basilica, popes lived principally at the Lateran Palace across Rome. They even left the city altogether in 1309 when the papal court moved to Avignon, France, after King Philip IV arranged for a French cardinal to be elected pope. Seven popes, all French, ruled from Avignon, and the papacy did not return to Rome until 1377, by which time the Lateran Palace had burned and the Vatican started to be used as a papal residence. Much repair work needed to be done, however, because the Vatican had fallen into such disrepair that wolves dug for bodies in the cemetery and cows even wandered the basilica.
  • 7. The Swiss Guard was hired as a mercenary force. The Swiss Guard, recognizable by its armor and colorful Renaissance-era uniforms, has been protecting the pontiff since 1506. That’s when Pope Julius II, following in the footsteps of many European courts of the time, hired one of the Swiss mercenary forces for his personal protection. The Swiss Guard’s role in Vatican City is strictly to protect the safety of the pope. Although the world’s smallest standing army appears to be strictly ceremonial, its soldiers are extensively trained and highly skilled marksmen. And, yes, the force is entirely comprised of Swiss citizens.
  • 8. At several times during the Vatican’s history, popes escaped through a secret passageway. In 1277, a half-mile-long elevated covered passageway, the Passetto di Borgo, was constructed to link the Vatican with the fortified Castel Sant’Angelo on the banks of the Tiber River. It served as an escape route for popes, most notably in 1527 when it likely saved the life of Pope Clement VII during the sack of Rome. As the forces of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V rampaged through the city and murdered priests and nuns, the Swiss Guard held back the enemy long enough to allow Clement to safely reach the Castel Sant’Angelo, although 147 of the pope’s forces lost their lives in the battle.
  • 9. The majority of Vatican City’s 600 citizens live abroad. As of 2011, the number of people with Vatican citizenship totaled 594. That number included 71 cardinals, 109 members of the Swiss Guard, 51 members of the clergy and one nun inside the Vatican walls. The largest group of citizens, however, was the 307 members of the clergy in diplomatic positions around the world. With Benedict XVI residing as a pope emeritus in the Vatican, the population will increase by one when a new pope is named.
  • 10. The Vatican Observatory owns a telescope in Arizona. As Rome expanded, light pollution from the city made it increasingly difficult for astronomers at the Vatican Observatory—located 15 miles from the city at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo—to view the night skies, so in 1981 the observatory opened a second research center in Tucson, Arizona. The Vatican conducts astronomical research with a state-of-the-art telescope that sits atop Mount Graham in southeast Arizona.

 


 

Deep State

Fallout Continues To Spread As Large Segment Of MAGA Movement Feels Deeply Betrayed By Trump Administration Burying Epstein Client List Info

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump has ordered his lieutenants Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to make the Jeffrey Epstein client list disappear, they did, and MAGA is furious

Donald Trump yesterday did exactly what we told you last summer he was going to do should he win reelection to the White House, and we told in a dozen different Podcasts from last July to yesterday. Trump ordered his handpicked appointees to 86 all existing information on the Jeffrey Epstein Client List, and Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino and Kash Patel did as they were ordered to do. Trump couldn’t care less if you don’t like it, it’s done, and he’s all done talking about it. Deep State 1, MAGA 0. That’s the memo.

“LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?” Psalm 94:3 (KJB)

From the moment Trump took office in January, he’s made some very sketchy moves, the economy has not gotten better, gas prices have not come down, but hey, at least he solved that transgender swimmer problem. One of the reasons people voted for him, as I did, was his promise to reveal the Deep State actors and dismantle their operations. He promised to publish the Epstein Client List, Pam Bondi said she had it on her desk and soon everything would be known. Yesterday, in a move that has shaken MAGA to their core, Trump got rid of any and all evidence of the client list, of the flight log list, and of all the people who visited Epstein’s “orgy island”. Any and all information that could convict people like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, and all the other politicians and tech titans who are rumoured to be on the list has disappeared forever. The man who promised to reveal it is now the man who has covered it all up. Is that what you voted for? We told you last November, voting for Kamala or Trump would give you two different rides, but the destination is the same. Now you see what I was talking about.

Trump has caused massive division within his own MAGA Movement after Epstein Client list debacle

FROM MSN: Over the weekend, the Justice Department announced that its investigation had come up with nothing new to say about Epstein’s case, undermining years of conspiracy theories that some administration officials had previously pushed. Some right-wing figures have accused the federal government of a massive cover-up to protect powerful associates of Epstein who may have abused teenage girls. They have also questioned the official account of Epstein’s death in custody, which was ruled a suicide.

During the Cabinet meeting, Trump criticized a reporter’s question about Epstein, saying the case was no longer important.

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” Trump said. “I can’t believe you were asking a question on Epstein at a time like this. We’re having some of the greatest success, and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration.”

Despite Trump’s dismissal, conspiracy theories about Epstein have been a major concern among a subset of his vocal supporters. White House staff on Monday strategized to try to keep the fallout to a minimum. The president’s own attempt to show support for FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino faced pushback from some of his supporters on Truth Social. Some MAGA voices, including pro-Trump commentator Laura Loomer, called for firing Attorney General Pam Bondi. Loomer also called for Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ ouster over the migrant worker proposal.

“As someone who voted for the president, campaigned for the president a lot — I’m not attacking the president, but I think even people who are fully on board with the bulk of the MAGA agenda are like, ‘This is too much, actually,’” Tucker Carlson said about the administration’s Epstein memo in a taped conversation he posted Tuesday.

“I’m saying that with love, and I hope that they’re listening. Because I think this threatens to blow up the whole thing.”

Multiple White House officials dismissed such warnings, noting that polling does not show the Epstein case to be anywhere near the top issue animating voters. They also pointed to the Trump administration’s work to drive down prices and bring an end to various foreign conflicts, among other recent policy victories.

“If people want to leave Donald Trump — he was the founder of the MAGA movement, he’s sacrificed more than any person who’s ever run for office in our nation’s history, he almost lost his life twice, gave up his successful business, fought off more than 130 indictments, was threatened with imprisonment to lead our country — over a conclusion provided by the Department of Justice over Jeffrey Epstein, that does not seem like a rational choice,” the senior White House official said.

A second White House official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, told The Washington Post that although there will always be topics that Trump’s supporters disagree about, the president’s loyal base will not stop supporting him as a result of the Epstein investigation.

“They’re not going to hang up their MAGA hat and call it a day,” the official said, referring to the critics as a “vocal minority.” “By no means are the loud people on X an accurate representation of the nearly 80 million people who voted for the president,” the official said. READ MORE

If You Study History, The Fact That New Federal Prison Alligator Alcatraz Was Built From The Ground Up In Only 8 Days Should Terrify You, Seriously

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The first photos of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ give a bleak inside look at the new migrant center deep in the Florida Everglades — as authorities prepare to stash up to 5,000 detainees in wire cages.

The Dachau Concentration Camp was established in March 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and it was not created initially to slaughter Jews by the millions. Far from it, Dachau was a repurposed former military base that held opponents of the Nazi regime, political dissidents and illegal aliens. The establishment of the camp also aimed to scare the German people into obeying and supporting the Nazi regime. In short, it was a terrifying place you would never want to be sent to. Alligator Alcatraz is such a place, with the terror level hitting a 10 on the end times meter. The fact that the whole camp was built, from start to finish in 8 days, should terrify you. You better pray this isn’t the first of many, and that’s the memo.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB) 

If you think comparing Alligator Alcatraz to the Dachau concentration camp is “a bridge too far”, you might want to go back and read about everything you missed in history class when you were back in high school. Dachau was simply a holding center for foreigners and political enemies, right up to the day that it wasn’t. Dachau became the template for what would spread to multiple countries and eventually killing 12 million people. With the construction of Alligator Alcatraz, funded by the people at FEMA, we now have a template for camps that can be built in all 50 states in under 2 weeks apiece. Trump said this yesterday: “Well, I think would like to see them in many states. Really, many states,” the president said. “And, you know, at some point, they might morph into a system.” Dachau was a holding center, then it became a system and finally an industry. Already, plans are in the works for another massive immigrant center on the site of Camp Blanding here in Clay County, Florida.

“The request for proposals is out,” said Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, referencing a government process for seeking bids from contractors. “… It closes Wednesday at 5 o’clock. Then we will do notice to proceed. So, I would say right after our wonderful Independence Day, we will be starting construction there at that facility.

And tick, tock, goes the end times clock. Happy Independence Day.

Stark first photos from inside ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ reveal bleak digs for up to 5,000 migrants

FROM THE NY POST: Video taken during a tour by President Trump on Tuesday revealed rows upon rows of empty industrial metal bunk beds enclosed in hastily constructed cages made up of chain fences.

“Biden wanted me in here, that son of a b—h,” President Trump said jokingly Tuesday as he was shown around the vast secure facility hidden within the subtropical wetlands of South Florida teeming with alligators, crocodiles and pythons.

“I looked outside, and that’s not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon,” Trump told reporters after his tour. “We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation.”

The complex, located at the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport, will cost an estimated $450 million a year to operate, and the first migrants are set to arrive as soon as Wednesday. Some of the cost of the facility — which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said was built in just eight days — will be reimbursed from FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program, officials said.

The site features at least 200 security cameras, 28,000 feet of barbed wire and more than 400 security personnel, officials said.

Dubbed ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ or “Gator Gitmo,” the state-built facility in Florida’s infamous Alligator Alley aims to help ICE reach its migrant deportation targets. It lies in the middle of Route 41 — the road that crosses the south of the Sunshine State from Miami to Naples.

“There’s only one road leading in, and the only way out is a one-way flight,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday ahead of President Trump’s visit. “It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain.”

Former President Obama said jokingly in 2011 that Republicans were so hardline, they would demand to use alligators to deter illegal immigrants — and Trump and DeSantis have now made that a reality. The Trump administration has played up the dangerous gator-infested surroundings of the center, sharing memes of alligators wearing ICE hats on Department of Homeland Security social-media accounts and even selling “Alligator Alcatraz”-related merchandise.

Around 100 National Guard troops will be sent to the site about 37 miles from Miami to help provide security, DeSantis said Tuesday. Trump said jokingly that new detainees were going to be taught how to evade alligators by Homeland Security.

“We’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator, OK, if they escape from prison,” he said. “How to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” he added, making zigzag motions with his hands.

Opponents have slammed the scheme as inhumane, with one X user comparing footage of the site to “a concentration camp” and adding that they couldn’t see any air conditioning or vents inside the facility. READ MORE

Donald Trump Explodes And Loses Control As Ceasefire Falters After Iran Fires Rocket That Kill Four Jews In Beersheba And Israel Vows To Repay

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Israel on Tuesday to “not bomb Iran” as he departed for the NATO summit in The Hague, taking a critical position just 24 hours after brokering a fragile ceasefire already threatened after a missile strike from Iran.

President Donald Trump went full-tilt explosive after hearing that Iran had broken the ceasefire with an attack on Israel that wound up killing 4 in Beersheba, ordering Israel not to respond. He dropped an expletive deleted as he exclaimed that both sides, Israel and Iran, had no idea what they were doing. Those are words spoken by a man who has very little understanding of why Israel and Iran are at war with each other, and have been since 1979. That’s the memo.

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16 (KJB)

Donald Trump is not so much about peace in the Middle East as he is about scoring notches on the legacy belt of his presidency. But making peace is a tricky thing if you don’t understand the nature of the conflict. “Israel has to calm down, I have to get Israel to calm down,” he said. “I’m gonna see if I can stop it.” Why didn’t he say that about Iran, why is it always Israel that has to ‘calm down’? As we have long told you, Iran will break any and every treaty or deal they make, that’s who they are. Israel needs to fight this war until the regime in place in Tehran falls to the ground. Anything less is a pathetic waste of time, treasure and human lives. The prophet Daniel says “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined”, I agree with that.

Trump Goes Absolutely Berserk on Iran and Israel as Ceasefire Deal Crumbles

FROM MEDIAITE: Speaking to reporters before takeoff, the president said that both Israel and Iran had breached the terms of the truce and made clear he was “not pleased” with Israel’s promise to launch retaliatory airstrikes after agreeing to the deal.

Asked by a reporter about whether Iran had violated the ceasefire Trump replied: “They violated but Israel violated it, too.”

The president continued: “Israel as soon as we made the deal they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I had never seen before. The biggest load that we have seen. I’m not happy with Israel.”

He added: “You know, when I say ‘okay, now you have 12 hours’ – you don’t go out in the first hour just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land, I’m not happy about that.”

Before departing, he said: “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the f*** they are doing.”

In a further post on Truth Social just moments later he wrote:

ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The comments come as the Israeli military vowed to carry out “intense” retaliatory strikes on Tehran following ballistic missile attacks from Iran that struck Beersheba on Tuesday morning, killing at least four civilians. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered a “forceful” counteroffensive, targeting what he described as “the heart of Tehran.”

Trump says Iranian missile didn’t land, but it did and it killed Jews

Israel’s top military officials framed the action as a response to a “grave violation” of the US-brokered ceasefire and vowed Iran would “pay.”

Tehran denied any role in the attacks. Iranian state media claimed that “reports published about missile launches from Iran toward the occupied territories after imposing a ceasefire on the Zionist regime are denied,” accusing Israel of fabricating the provocation. The ceasefire agreement – announced late Monday by Trump from Palm Beach – was meant to phase out hostilities within 24 hours. READ MORE
