Gaia Goes to Church: The Revival of an Ancient Pagan Goddess

Posted by Marsha West ∙ February 28, 2020 ∙ In Opinion ∙ Christianity, Climate Change, Discernment, Environmentalism, Heresy, New Age Movement, Occult-Sorcery, Paganism, Roman Catholicism

“Lovelock’s new Gaia [Guy-uh], now dressed in the fashionable garb of scientific formulation, seeks to again have us believe that our planet Earth is a living creature—as the ancient Greeks believed. It is no longer just a mass of rock, water and air providing a home for billions of individual forms of life. Instead, the planet and all life upon it are to be understood as a single, interconnected whole: a living, breathing, and thinking organism.”

(Sarah Leslie – Herescope) A new morality is forming based on an old spirituality. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders described the environmental crisis as a “moral imperative” during a Democrat Party presidential debate. The recent Amazon Synod of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church invoked Pachamama, a “Mother Earth” goddess, as Pope Francis considers adding a new sin, an “ecological sin.” Continue reading

Navy arms destroyers with new laser weapons

Navy arms destroyers with new laser weapons

Enemy drones over the ocean could track and surveil U.S. Navy ships, designate targets for aircraft or maritime attacks, or even fire dangerous weapons themselves at surface ships.

This reality is one of many key reasons the Navy has now installed a new counter drone “dazzler” laser weapon aboard one of its destroyers for the first time, bringing new offensive and defensive warfare possibilities to the fleet.

The Navy’s Optical Dazzling Interdictor, or ODIN laser weapon, was installed on the USS Dewey guided missile destroyer recently, a report from Naval Sea Systems Command said.

We Are Watching The Stock Market Do Things That It Has Never Done Before

February 27, 2020 by Michael Snyder

Stock prices are falling faster and harder than they ever have before. If the financial markets are in this much chaos even though not a single American has died from the coronavirus yet, what are things going to look like if this outbreak starts sweeping across America like wildfire? The number of confirmed cases continues to explode all over the world, and the discovery of a case of “unknown origin” in northern California has really shaken up global financial markets. It has become clear that efforts to contain this virus have failed, and investors are now coming to grips with the fact that this crisis is just getting started. We haven’t seen this much panic on Wall Street in a very long time, and on Thursday we actually witnessed the largest single day point decline in all of U.S. history… (Read More…)

Here comes the next North Atlantic massive storm. Storm Jorge follows Storm Brendan, Ciara and Dennis to batter Ireland and the UK for the 4th time in less than 2 months with thousands of houses flooded or in danger of being flooded from heavy rain in the last few days, in what has become another disastrous winter for the Brits. (These floods and storms have become commonplace in the UK in recent years)

Storm Jorge will bring heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the UK from Friday (tomorrow).

Named by the Spanish meteorological service Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) on Thursday, Storm Jorge will track across the north-west of the UK over the weekend bringing another spell of strong winds and heavy rain. The system will also bring a spell of strong winds to northwest Spain on Saturday, prompting AEMET to issue orange wind warnings and name the system.

Turkey in social media Blackout amid fears of all-out war in Syria

Feb 27, 2020 | 0 |

(RT) – Social media platforms across Turkey have shut down after reports of an airstrike in Syria killing dozens of Turkish soldiers fueled rumors of an all-out war. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and YouTube were all reported down.

Twitter was the first to go, with national provider Turk Telekom shutting off access around 11:30 pm local time on Thursday. This was shortly after news broke that at least nine – the number has continued to rise since – Turkish soldiers were killed in Syria’s Idlib province.

This was followed by all other social networks, clustered by the provider, according to multiple services monitoring internet outages across the globe. Accounts of major media outlets remained active, however, as they flashed updates about the alleged Syrian airstrike and the Turkish response – said by officials in Ankara to be air and artillery strikes against multiple “regime” targets

We Are Being Warned That The Coronavirus Could Cause “Shortages” And “Empty Shelves” Here In The United States

We have already seen it happen all over the globe. In China it is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary citizens to get essential supplies, there have been very long lines to buy face masks in Hong Kong and elsewhere, and in Italy crazed residents have stripped store shelves empty of pasta and other staples in recent days. As the number of confirmed cases continues to rise at a very frightening pace, the “panic buying” that we have been witnessing is going to get even worse. Meanwhile, global supply chains are becoming increasingly strained due to this coronavirus outbreak, and it has already become quite difficult for many stores to get certain things for their customers.

Greece’s Migrant Crisis: “A Powder Keg Ready to Explode”

• "People have seen their properties destroyed, their sheep and goats have been slaughtered, their homes broken into. A few years back, when there were 5,000 migrants on the island, things seemed bad enough. Now there’s a sense that the situation has really got out of hand." — Nikos Trakellis, community leader in Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos.
• "I fear for the safety of our people, the residents of Lesbos. For the situation to change, many refugees have to be transferred to the mainland and new arrivals from Turkey must be stopped. If not, we are doomed." — North Aegean Regional Governor Kostas Moutzouris.

Islamic Jihad Looking To Provoke Armed Conflict With Israel

PIJ is trying to strategically spoil ongoing negotiations and force Hamas into a war it does not want to fight right now. Palestinian terrorism against Israelis is often a product of infighting among competing factions — a competition over who can challenge Israel most effectively in an effort to lead the Palestinian constituency.
