Found online, look at it @Jeffrey Ade A BURIED CIA VIDEO JUST SURFACED… AND ERIKA KIRK IS IN IT A 10-year-old documentary about EMP attacks and U.S. power grid vulnerability has quietly surfaced - and buried inside it is Erika Kirk. She’s not observing. She’s not a host. She’s in a role most civilians never get near, briefing national security professionals alongside a former CIA National Security & Energy Specialist on how an EMP or coordinated physical attack could collapse the U.S. power grid. This isn’t casual footage. It’s technical. It’s inside-baseball. And it’s the exact kind of material most people never get near, let alone present. Which raises some very uncomfortable questions: Why was she in that role? What qualified her to brief on national security threats? Who brought her into that room, and why is none of it explained? Back then, this clip passed quietly. Today, with everything surrounding her, it hits very differently. At what point do “coincidences” stop being …More
Pope Leo XIV met today with members of the Diplomatic Corps. Key points of his address largely drawing from St Augustine and Benedict XVI and Francis. Main phrases. - This past year saw […] the return to the Father’s house of my venerable predecessor, Pope Francis. The whole world gathered around his coffin on the day of his funeral, and sensed the loss of a father who had guided the People of God with immense pastoral charity. - The weakness of multilateralism is a particular cause for concern at the international level. A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force, by either individuals or groups of allies. Peace as Domination - War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. - The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. - “Peace” is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting …More

The Synod on Synodality was an “ironclad manipulation,” Cardinal Joseph Zen, 93, said in his three-minute intervention at the consistory held January 7–8. The text of his speech was published on the Substack account of Edward Pentin CardinalNews.Substack.com. Prior to the consistory, Cardinal Zen was received in private audience by Pope Leo XIV. Synod’s Invocation of the Holy Spirit Verges on Blasphemy In his intervention, Cardinal Zen criticized the late Pope Francis and the synodal process he initiated: “The ironclad manipulation of the process is an insult to the dignity of the Bishops, and the continual reference to the Holy Spirit is ridiculous and almost blasphemous.” Francis, he said, expected “surprises” from the Holy Spirit. Cardinal Zen responded: “What surprises? That He should repudiate what He inspired in the Church’s two-thousand-year Tradition?” Cardinal Zen noted that Francis bypassed the Episcopal College, listened directly to selected members of the laity, and …More
Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein Daniel Günther (CDU) By Steffen Prößdorf, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2024-10-24_Politik,_Ministerpr%C3%A4sidentenkonferenz_2024_Leipzig_STP_8034_by_Stepro.jpg The debate in Germany over freedom of expression has intensified after remarks by Daniel Günther, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) prime minister of Schleswig-Holstein, triggered a political backlash across the country. Speaking on the ZDF channel on January 7th, Günther called for far tougher regulation of media outlets and social networks that are “opponents and enemies of democracy”—ie. publications that do not align with his world view. Warning that Germany’s political system would be “unrecognisable in ten years” if such “excesses” were not tackled, he openly entertained the idea of censorship and bans. Among his proposals were a ban on social media access for under-16s, and he also attacked alternative media outlets, singling out the right-wing portal …
This is the only photograph ever taken of the Brothers Grimm. You know their fairy tales—but you don't know what they really did. A daguerreotype studio in Germany. Two elderly men sit stiffly for the camera—new technology that requires them to remain motionless for several seconds. Jacob is 62, his younger brother Wilhelm is 61. They've spent their entire adult lives working side by side. This single photograph would become the only authenticated image of both brothers together. Most people know them for one thing: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Cinderella. Snow White. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Rumpelstiltskin. Stories that have been told to children for two centuries, adapted into countless films, embedded so deeply in our culture that we forget they came from somewhere—from someone. But here's what most people don't know: the Brothers Grimm didn't write fairy tales. They rescued them. THE MISSION THAT STARTED EVERYTHING Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm were born just one year …More
Roman Rite Not Central Question for Cardinal Müller: “The Church has to discuss how to go on with these questions about the old and the new rite,” Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller told EWTN on January 8: “I think Pope Leo XIV will find a good solution for everybody.” Cardinal Müller believes that this “is not the central question for the Church today.” He added: “We are living in times of secularization and atheism, in some great anti-Christian political systems, and we also face the Woke ideology and a false anthropology, which are absolutely in contradiction to the Christian understanding of human dignity.” Because time was limited at the consistory, he said, the cardinals preferred to speak about these major challenges facing the Church rather than about internal Church matters, he claimed.
Gerhard Müller confirmed to EWTN that the traditional Latin Mass was not discussed in the consistory this week. The cardinals “preferred to speak about the great (external) challenges of the Church and not so much aspects inside the Church”
On 15 December 2025, a teacher at a primary school in Kielno, Poland, asked pupils to remove a cross from the classroom wall. When the pupils refused, the teacher removed the cross herself and threw it into a trash bin. Yesterday, a protest in defense of the cross took place outside the primary school, according to Wiadomosci.Onet.pl. It drew local residents, members of Gazeta Polska Clubs, opposition politicians, and the parents of one of the pupils. Among those present were Members of Parliament Michał Kowalski and Dorota Arciszewska-Mielewczyk from the Law and Justice party (PiS). Following the incident, the Mayor of Szemud Municipality had filed a notification with the District Prosecutor’s Office in Wejherowo concerning the alleged disposal of the cross. Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda of Gdańsk said he expects thorough and reliable explanations from the authorities responsible for the school. Pending clarification of the matter, the school principal suspended the teacher from her duties. …More
What a horrible woman! Initially she was trying to get the students {in primary school - so young children!} to commit the sacrilege which she then finally had to commit herself. Just like some Soviet atheist or woke Leftist.
NYTIMES: Pope Leo Rebukes a ‘Zeal for War’ That He Sees as Spreading Globally nytimes.com/…9/world/europe/pope-leo-address- … The pontiff used an annual address to ambassadors to the Vatican to condemn countries that prioritized violence over diplomacy to achieve their goals. Amid escalating threats across the globe, Pope Leo XIV used an annual address on Friday to the diplomatic corps to the Vatican to forcefully condemn “a diplomacy based on force” and a “zeal for war.” Nations must commit to work together to follow international laws and “cannot depend on mere circumstances and military or strategic interests,” Pope Leo told the diplomats in the speech, which amounts to a sort of annual papal foreign policy statement. Leo did not mention any world leaders by name. But his remarks were pointed given the events of recent days, including the Trump administration’s military operation in Venezuela and threats against Greenland, and on a day when Russia said it had attacked …More
Minnesota Diocese Gives ‘Ad Orientem’ Worship a Shot: Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.
WHY EAGLES DON’T RAISE “30-YEAR-OLD KIDS LIVING IN THEIR PARENTS’ BASEMENT” Eagles have a simple — and surprisingly wise — parenting strategy. When the hatchlings are tiny, the mother lines the nest with soft grass and feathers so it’s warm, cozy, and perfectly comfortable. But when the time comes, she starts pulling all that softness out. Suddenly the same nest becomes prickly, awkward, and very uncomfortable. No more luxury suite. No more room service. No more all-inclusive parenting plan. The eaglet starts fidgeting, shifting, trying to figure out what to do next. And that’s when Mom takes things up a level — literally. She lifts the young eagle high into the sky… and lets go. Lesson one: flying. The eaglet spreads its wings, but they don’t hold yet. The wind wins. It tumbles. The mother watches — waits until the last possible moment — then dives, catches it, and takes it back up. And drops it again. And again. And again… until those wings finally learn what they were made for. …More
