Knights Of Columbus, The Powerful Pitbull Of The Roman Catholic Church Now Facing Charges Of ‘Racketeering, Fraud, Deception And Theft’

Top executive members engaged in an elaborate conspiracy to artificially inflate the Knights of Columbus insurable membership numbers to increase sales.

Then I said: Will the Knights of Columbus play a vital part in the attack against the Christians when the U.S. falls?
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Knights of Columbus is being accused of inflating its numbers to appear more profitable to insurance companies — and some of its members say they’re paying the price.

In his great expose on the Roman Catholic Church called ‘Smokescreens‘, gospel tract creator Jack Chick lifted up the curtain covering the Vatican’s pitbull known as the Knights of Columbus and showed us who they really are and what their true goals are.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:4,5 (KJV)

With over 10,000 chapters and over one million members, this covert Roman army has sworn to allegiance not only to the pope but also to Rome’s desire to turn America into a papal state. Why do you think that the pope always kisses the ground when they land in a foreign country? When they do that they are claiming sovereignty over that nation. The Knights of Columbus have been aptly called the “strong right arm” of the Catholic Church for a reason.

“It’s been like pulling teeth getting information out of the Knights of Columbus from day one,” Judge Jackson said

FROM BUZZFEED NEWS: Greg McAtee first joined the Knights of Columbus 16 years ago, when he was 55. He was joining a formidable club, the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world with alumni like Babe Ruth and John F. Kennedy, and it continues to have powerful political allies in 2019. He was also, though he didn’t realize it at the time, becoming a pawn in an alleged scheme to inflate membership numbers for a multibillion-dollar life insurance company.

But to him, the Knights were mostly just a group of nice men from his parish in Mobile, Alabama, who wore matching shirts with shield insignias. They raised money for charity, had Christmas parties for good causes, and fried fish for its friends and family in the local community center.

Today, however, McAtee is a witness for the plaintiffs in a massive new lawsuit that could shake one of America’s most powerful socially conservative groups to its core. The case is accusing the Knights of Columbus of “racketeering, fraud, deception, theft, and broken promises,” a complaint in the US District Court for Colorado, which will begin hearing the case Monday, reads.

According to multiple sources and the lawsuit, the alleged scheme went like this:

  • In order for life insurance companies to continue having people buy its plans, they need to have a top rating from an insurance rating company.
  • The key thing insurance rating companies are looking for is the ability to pay back the claims of policyholders. One of the main indicators of that is whether a company’s customer pool is growing, and whether young people who will pay their life insurance claims for a long time are buying policies.
  • Knights of Columbus currently has an A+ rating from AM Best.
  • The Knights of Columbus can only sell life insurance to its members (or someone who becomes a member within 90 days of applying for insurance), and its members can only be men who are “practical Catholics” (meaning they accept all the teachings of the Catholic Church) and live in the US, Puerto Rico, or Guam.
  • The lawsuit claims that the Knights’ membership is not in fact growing, but shrinking and getting older.
  • To hide this, the lawsuit claims, it has made it extremely difficult to remove members from its rosters, even if they haven’t paid dues in years. So, as some more members join, and none of the members who leave are recorded, it appears to insurance rating companies that its pool of potential customers is growing.
  • Unfortunately for the Knights on the ground in local chapters, who are largely uncompensated volunteers, this means they have to cover the cost of the nonexistent members they couldn’t take off the books, the lawsuit alleges. When they couldn’t get them removed, they ended up paying out of pocket, or sometimes dipping into the funds they had raised for charity, five of the men told BuzzFeed News.

The lawsuit was filed in 2017 by UKnight, a Colorado-based IT firm hired by the Knights of Columbus to update communication software for its more than 10,000 local US chapters, referred to as councils. In the lawsuit, UKnight alleges that the Knights’ senior leadership (namely senior executives Thomas Smith and Matthew St. John) were “engaged in an elaborate conspiracy to artificially inflate the Knights of Columbus’ insurable membership numbers and artificially improve” its ratings by insurance rating companies, thereby making people more likely to buy its life insurance. UKnight and one of its managers, Leonard Labriola, an individual plaintiff in the case, claim the Knights unlawfully terminated its contract after UKnight discovered the alleged conspiracy.

“It’s been like pulling teeth getting information out of the Knights of Columbus from day one,” Judge Jackson said, according to a transcript of the May 13 hearing. “All that has done to me is make me wonder if there’s something there …. it makes me wonder what’s going on.”

In court documents, the Knights dismissed the suit as “a disappointed prospective vendor that offered the Knights inferior and outdated website services that the Knights refused to endorse.” After around two years of failed negotiations, Monday, Aug. 26, will be the first day the case will finally go to trial.

Knights of Columbus Mass Of The Deceased

Watch as much of this horror show as you can stand, but you will see all you need to see in the first few minutes. Idol worship, prayers to Mary, Babylonian altars and homage to the sun god are on full display. In this particular mass, like the Mormons do, it is a “mass for the dead”.

Emmanuel Macron Says That France Will Recognize A Palestinian State To Exist In June In Joint Partnership With Mohammed Bin Salman Of Saudi Arabia

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

France is making plans to recognize a Palestinian state and could do so as early as June, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with a French broadcaster on Wednesday.

Emmanuel Macron has been quiet lately, allowing President Trump to garner all the headlines, but he certainly has not been idle. Yesterday, Macron announced  that, in partnership with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, France plans to recognize a state of Palestine to exist at an upcoming Two State Solution Summit in June to be held in Saudi Arabia. Emmanuel Macron and Mohammed bin Salman are the perfect end times Antichrist dream team. That’s the memo.

“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 (KJB)

Do you know the first that in the Bible that God called holy? It was a piece of dirt that Moses was standing on, God called it holy ground. Do you know what the land of Israel is? It’s God holy land. Do you know what Jerusalem is? It’s God’s holy city. This is exactly why it is the most fought-over parcel of real estate in human history, Satan wants it and God is going to let him have it for exactly 7 years. Do you know who will be the poster boy for that land grab, the human face so to speak? Emmanuel Macron, as we have always told you. Having Mohammed bin Salman along for the ride is the cherry on top of the sundae. Keep in mind that this Palestinian Two State Solution Conference takes place in June where it will still be springtime. TO THE FLIGHT!!!

France could recognize a Palestinian state in June, says Macron

FROM POLITICO EU: Macron said he hoped that by recognizing Palestinian statehood at a conference in June that France is co-hosting with Saudi Arabia pushing for a two-state solution, attendees who do not formally recognize Israel would in turn do so.

“We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months,” said the French president. “I’m not doing it for unity, or to please this or that person. I’m doing it because at some point it will be fair,” he said.

Macron’s comments come after Israel resumed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip last month when a two-month-long truce came to an end and ceasefire talks broke down between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israel has since halted the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave.

Israel’s war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, assault against southern Israel during which 1,200 people were killed and 250 were taken hostage. The Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry says more than 50,000 people in Gaza have died in the ensuing conflict. That figure includes both civilian and combatant fatalities. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict resonates deeply in France, which is home to Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities. Israel is also home to a large French-speaking community that has kept strong ties to France.

France has always been in favor of a two-state solution but has resisted calls to recognize a Palestinian state, often arguing that Paris would only do so if it served the peace process.

Macron’s comments came at the end of a three-day trip to Egypt, during which he visited a hospital treating Palestinians in the city of El Arish, near the border with Gaza.

“I want to believe in peace; today the conflict has intensified and it’s terrible … Since March 2, there’s nothing going in [to the Gaza Strip] — no water, no food, no medication, and none of the injured are coming out,” Macron said.

Macron’s decision is likely to antagonize Israel and draw a backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says that recognizing Palestinian statehood now is effectively rewarding terrorism.

“A ‘unilateral recognition’ of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas. These kind of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer — but the opposite: they only push them further away,” Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on X. The French Jewish umbrella group Crif on Thursday slammed Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, calling it “an unacceptable political victory” for Hamas while dozens of Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron of France is planning to recognise a Palestinian state within months and could make the move at a UN conference in New York in June on settling the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday. He will be joined by Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.

BOOM: Stock Market Shoots Up Thousands Of Points On Heels The Announcement That President Trump Is Pausing His Tariff Scheme For 90 Days

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Stocks surged after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause in tariffs, causing a stock market that’s been under extreme pressure the last 5 days to skyrocket

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. Those words of William Shakespeare are not scripture but they certainly lines up with scripture to a very high degree. The end times are a multi-act drama that the prophet Isaiah calls the ‘strange act’ of God almighty. After sending the world financial markets plunging into economic uncertainty, President Donald Trump has issued a 90-day pause on his ill-conceived tariffs scheme.

“For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” Isaiah 28:21 (KJB)

Donald Trump has Main Character Syndrome in his very own stage play, and granted, he is the most-powerful man in the free world, but above and beyond that, there is no shortage of drama here on Day 1,850 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. What comes next? Everything! Have you noticed that with all the craziness, people have stopped talking about releasing the Epstein Files? Yeah. about that, nothing’s coming. Just like nothing’s going to come out about who really shot JFK, who is really behind the drone incursions, and what does the government really think about UFOs? Instead of answers, instead of the truth, we get bread and circuses. Like this one. Glad to see a pause on tariffs, it was a dumb idea to begin with and I hope it never comes back.

There’s a whole lot new at the Bookstore

We have been working very hard, adding lots of new items, and giving the overall look and feel of the website a Springtime update. We so very much appreciate your support, and invite you to stop by and see what’s new!

Dow surges 2,000 points, Nasdaq jumps 8% after Trump signals a 90-day pause on some tariffs

FROM CNBC: The S&P 500 gained 6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2159 points, or 5.7%. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 8%.

“I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately,” Trump posted on his Truth Social.

It wasn’t clear if the pause would be for all nations or just some. Trump, in the same post, said he was raising the tariff on China higher again to 125%. Shares of the stocks hardest hit during this tariff battle led the comeback. Apple was up 7% and Nvidia surged 10%. Walmart gained 9%. Before Trump’s announcement, stocks were volatile during most of Wednesday’s session, dealing with a tit-for-tat back and forth between China and Trump. The EU also approved its first set of tariffs on the U.S. set to start April 15.

Stocks were trending higher with traders appeared encouraged Wednesday morning after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he would be taking a lead negotiating role in tariff talks. Also, shortly after the market open Wednesday, Trump urged investors that now was “a great time to buy.”

Anxiety around the rollout of the tariffs fueled a four-day rout for stocks. Over the course of the previous four trading sessions, the Dow lost more than 4,500 points, while the S&P 500 sustained a 12% loss. The Nasdaq Composite was down more than 13% in that period. READ MORE

RUMOURS OF WARS: The Prepared Citizen Movement Is Now Mainstream As Americans Understanding That War Is Coming Prepare For The Inevitable

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Prepared Citizen Movement is a mainstream and rapidly growing sector of America who rightly understand that war, civil or global, is absolutely coming

How well I remember the Prepper Movement back in the early days of Now The End Begins, and we wrote and talked about people who made storehouses of food and necessities on their properties, purchased guns and ammo in large numbers, giving birth to a cottage industry that was just as much 1776 as it was 21st century. But that was then and this is now, and now we have an America that has so far lived through 5 years of engineered pandemics, bioweapon vaccines, digital ID and lockdowns, and knows that war, civil or global, is absolutely coming. Welcome to the Prepared Citizen Movement.

Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)

The Prepared Citizen Movement is a long-festering idea whose time has arrived, and honestly, it makes total sense. Look at the headlines as of today’s date, and what do you see? You see massive chaos, confusion and instability across all sectors of American life as well as globally. America might be at war, literally, with Iran by the weekend. No one knows what’s going on, and everyone is afraid of what tomorrow’s headlines will bring. Everyone that is except for those of us who read and believe the King James Bible, we’ve been telling you for some time to buckle up and get ready. It’s almost here, and that’s the memo.

Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose

FROM THE NY TIMES: Ten men, some wearing camouflage, others in vests loaded with ammunition for their AR-15 rifles, gathered under the morning shade of oak trees in Central Florida last month. They were there to learn marksmanship tactics common among Special Operation forces and elite law enforcement units. Their instructor, Christopher Eric Roscher, an Air Force veteran, introduced himself and then led the group in prayer.

“Lord, you would use them as assets, to be protectors in this world, in a world that’s full of evil,” he prayed.

The men gathered around him were not soldiers, police officers or right-wing militia members. They were mostly civilians, including two pilots, a nurse and a construction company executive. The class’s title — Full Contender Minuteman — even referred to the civilians turned soldiers of the American Revolution.

In a world shaped by war, a pandemic and extreme weather, more Americans are getting ready for crisis — whether it’s to fight a tyrannical government, repel an invading army or respond to a natural disaster. They are known as prepared or professional citizens, part of a growing number of gun owners who are adapting their mind-set to uncertain and polarized times. And rather than being part of more fringe “prepper” culture, they are growing more mainstream, catered to by companies ready to offer them the tools and training to be ready.

Prepared citizenry and the more familiar practice of “prepping” share some characteristics, though preppers are more focused on getting ready for long-term self-sufficiency — keeping chickens, growing a vegetable garden and storing supplies in bulk. Prepared citizens want to be ready for sudden calamity.

The concept emerged for Mr. Roscher, 35, as he watched Russia invade Ukraine in 2022. Ukrainian civilians were flooding the streets with little ability to defend themselves. “It really hit home for me,” he said.

Mr. Roscher began teaching firearms classes after leaving active duty in the Air Force and started his own training company, Barrel & Hatchet Trade Group, with his business partner Tyler Burke in 2020. Barrel & Hatchet also has a YouTube channel, an Instagram account, a podcast and a gear store.

Their programming is a mix of firearms reviews, training tips and lists, and lessons in being mentally prepared for a disaster. In the past year or so, Mr. Roscher’s turn toward Christianity and prayer has also attracted a receptive audience and clientele. Mr. Roscher recently produced a video he called “Things We Need to Remember, for the Dark Chapter Coming,” which highlighted his belief that some societal flashpoint is near, whether it be from attacks led by drug cartels, possible terrorist sleeper cells spread across the United States or an economic downturn.

His monologue, which also detailed a vivid dream of a nuclear blast, sounded almost like a sermon. READ MORE
