“Pater Meus Servat Vineam”
“Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and threatened to fire at any ship passing through it. The narrow waterway is a vital chokepoint for global oil and gas, but also for other commodities such as fertiliser. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer speaks with Noam Raydan, a maritime risk expert at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, about the potential impact of the Strait's closure and how Iran could further escalate the situation.”

As we close the month of the Immaculate Heart and begin the month of Our Lady of Sorrows, here is some breaking new in the US…from X…
Over Soaring Infant Deaths Linked to Trans-generational mRNA “Vaccine” Fatal Adverse Events
Are we moving toward a “Globalist Utopia?” It’s going to be up to us. This 45-minute video is a must-see!
“As the endless late-stage, untethered fiat banking printing spree draws closer to its mathematical date with infinity, the social rungs get clobbered one by one.”

We are now immersed in an omni-front attack vector world. This is war. Just getting through the day is now a military-grade evasion operation. If you don’t understand this, you have not been paying attention and you need to get up to speed really fast.
And if you don’t believe the world is that dark, just take a look at Our Blessed Lord upon the cross once again.
…For a lot of reasons, and probably will remain so for the foreseeable future. A few more things to keep in mind:
1) Make sure you are able to take people in if necessary. Do you have a location in the event you need to evacuate?
2) Stock up on food and water (hopefully you are already doing this).
3) Take care of your health. Have a back-up supply of needed medication.
4) Have a family meeting of what everyone will do in the event of a crisis. Will you have a meeting place?
5) Print out our “15 Points Preparedness Worksheet” (on the Home page) and fill it out as a family.
6) Pray the Rosary daily, as Our Lady of Fatima requested.

The video above is a great introduction to understanding the current state of the financial system of the US…and that we are on an unsustainable path (admitted by Jerome Powell), which is nearing the breaking point. This is well worth the 44 minutes of your time today. For the adults remaining in the room, we have a responsibility to ourselves, our loved ones and to Holy Church, to be awake and respond appropriately to as is said below, “the hand we are dealt.”
Here are Martenson’s notes on the video:
“The core insights that define the Peak Prosperity way of seeing the world are set against real-world data in this episode. Energy, debt, wealth, currency, GDP, & the fiscal vandalism of Congress combine to assure that the future will consist of hard choices as we navigate self-inflicted predicaments…Staying on top of and making sense out of the world is a real problem these days. At times like these, I like to back way up and take a wide-angle, big-picture view of the situation. When I do, things clarify, although I often wish that the picture were more benign or hopeful. Alas, we play the hand we are dealt. Once enough people see things this same way, and we cross over the common knowledge boundary line, real financial panic will set in. That’s how it will be perceived and reported on, but it will actually be a sudden and quite necessary realignment between what we have been conditioned to think of as wealth and real wealth. The difference is between primary and secondary wealth which are real and tangible, and tertiary wealth which is abstract and nothing more than a claim on real, tangible wealth. Cash only has value if you can buy something with it.
To understand this and then act on it, it’s essential to grasp the connection between oil and the economy, and the degree to which our economy is fictional due to its dependence on the perpetual expansion of debt at a rate that far exceeds the underlying economy’s rate of growth. It’s a complicated set of connections, to be sure, but vital to grasp. Armed with this information and framing, you will be far in front of the rest of your fellow humans and able to more gracefully navigate the emerging risks and opportunities.”
The first paragraph in Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, words of genius, and it sounds a bit familiar:
Reading these words is like looking into a prism, a many-faceted crystal, or playing with a Rubik’s Cube. So much is here to meditate upon regarding our own times. Light and Dark are rapidly separating. This could be a Lenten exercise, if paired with self-examination. Where am I in this story?
How about this one?…
From William Butler Yeats’ poem, “The Second Coming:”
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
The falcon cannot hear the falconer,
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
And everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned,
The best lack all conviction,
While the worst are full of passionate intensity.”
“Our blindness is monetizable by anybody who doesn’t suffer from it. To the extent that we are slowed down in realizing what is taking place, other people will have placed bets and they can transfer our wealth by knowing what…events are going to take place.”
“The word that we need to focus on is ‘counter-intuitive.’ In the circumstance where you are being presented a false dichotomy…the same puzzle that humanity has faced for centuries, and you’re about to do it again and you know that it’s a cycle that doesn’t go anywhere good, and is only getting more dangerous based on new weapons…you can be certain that the right move is going to involve a healthy dose of the counter-intuitive. You’re gonna have to think some thought that sounds wrong at first. You’re gonna have to make some move that people are gonna swear is immoral or unbearably dangerous…You’re gonna have to do something unexpected to break out of the trajectory…”
…or maybe in our case, with the illumination of the Holy Ghost, the word is intuitive. Not to toot my own horn, but I never thought for a moment that those Covid shots were at all safe…and have you seen the recent reports of DNA contamination? (see links below)

Matthew 7:13

If you look at the last 2 years and the predictions of what Klaus Schwab & Friends are making from their thrones in Davos, it looks like bad news, right? But in fact, it is wonderful news for humanity and our call to sanctity. We are made in the image and likeness of Almighty God. That is why Satan fears us. That is why he seeks to control us. That is why he wants to see everything we do in this tech-gone-wrong New World Order. Because we are powerful. His extreme constant efforts to make us think we are nothing prove that we are indeed something, in fact purchased by the Blood of Christ. So rejoice that you don’t fit in with this agenda all around us.
Of course, we as Catholics already know this and the Gospel message is often called “The Good News.” So instead of getting down about what is going on, we should see it as one more sign of the truth of our Faith and know that God ultimately has it all in control.
Luke 12:6
