Pedaling Away From “Illicit Religion”: China Turns Bicycle Races Into Propaganda Arenas

In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills.
by Qi Junzao
The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away.

On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang
province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda.
Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.”
For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

DOJ Probes Minnesota Officials Over Alleged Effort to Obstruct Federal Immigration Agents - Badlands Media

The Justice Department has opened an investigation into Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over allegations they conspired to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.
The investigation centers on 18 U.S.C. § 372, a federal statute that criminalizes conspiracies to prevent federal officers from performing their duties through “force, intimidation or threats,” one U.S. official said.
Another official said the inquiry was prompted by public statements from Walz and Frey addressing the recent deployment of thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents to the Minneapolis area.
Nearly 3,000 federal immigration agents have been sent to Minneapolis as part of a broad enforcement operation targeting illegal immigration and alleged fraud in Minnesota, a deployment the Department of Homeland Security has described as its largest to date. Walz and Frey have publicly condemned the federal presence, claiming it …

Die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE veröffentlicht jetzt Fotos der gefährlichsten kriminellen illegalen Einwanderer im sogenannten Schutzgebiet Minnesota. Das sind die Verbrecher, die die Linken seit Jahren beschützen und verhätscheln und weswegen gerade die gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen gegen ICE stattfinden.
"In einer Pressemitteilung vom 14. Januar gab die US-Einwanderungsbehörde ICE bekannt, dass Operationen in Minnesota zur Festnahme mehrerer krimineller, illegal eingereister Ausländer geführt haben, die mutmaßlich „Gangmitglieder sind … viele von ihnen wegen Gewaltverbrechen verurteilt wurden“. Die Behörde betonte, dass diese Kriminellen zu denjenigen gehörten, die von Politikern wie Tim Walz und Jacob Frey, die sich für sogenannte Sanctuary-Programme einsetzen, geschützt würden.

Das US-Justizministerium hat Ermittlungen gegen Beamte des Bundesstaates Minnesota, darunter Gouverneur Tim Walz und Bürgermeister Jacob Frey, wegen des Verdachts der Verschwörung zur Behinderung der bundesstaatlichen Einwanderungsbehörde eingeleitet.
Im Mittelpunkt der Ermittlungen steht 18 U.S.C. § 372, ein Bundesgesetz, das Verschwörungen zur Behinderung von Bundesbeamten bei der Ausübung ihrer Pflichten durch „Gewalt, Einschüchterung oder Drohungen“ unter Strafe stellt, so ein US-Beamter.
Ein weiterer Beamter erklärte, die Ermittlungen seien durch öffentliche Äußerungen von Walz und Frey zur kürzlich erfolgten Entsendung Tausender Beamter der Einwanderungs- und Zollbehörde (ICE) und der Grenzschutzbehörde (Border Patrol) in den Großraum Minneapolis ausgelöst worden.
Fast 3.000 Bundesbeamte der Einwanderungsbehörde wurden im Rahmen einer großangelegten Operation zur Bekämpfung illegaler Einwanderung und mutmaßlichen Betrugs in Minnesota nach Minneapolis entsandt. Das Ministerium …More

Canada: we cannot have "Truth and Reconcialiation" without truth

homilyat the Mass celebrated at Martyr's Shrine, in Midland, Ontario, that has much to tell about truth and reconciliation in Canada with the Indigenous Peoples. We cannot forget the sacrifices made by the missionaries to evangelize. We must no interpret the past from a woke view. We cannot have truth and reconciliation without truth. The pope's words speak for themselves.
Saint Paul also tells us how firmly he believed in the love of Christ and in its power to overcome all obstacles: "Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ." These are words which proceed from the very depths of his being and out of his personal experience as an Apostle. For this great missionary faced many trials and difficulties in his zealous efforts to proclaim the Gospel. To the Corinthians, he writes: "I have been in danger from rivers and in danger from brigands, in danger from my own people and in danger from pagans; in danger in the towns, in danger in the open country, danger at sea and danger from …

Cardinal Marx Ignored "Great Concern" of Benedict XVI Over German Synod

An unprecedented episode involving Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich occurred in 2021. It was published by Nico Spuntoni in IlGiornale.it on January 17.
Benedict XVI contacted his successor as Archbishop of Munich to express his “great concern” about the synodal process in Germany. He was convinced that this Synodal Path would cause harm and would end badly if it were not stopped.
Cardinal Marx ignored the appeal of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Additional information concerning the German Synod
On January 17, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Nikola Eterović, the Apostolic Nuncio to Berlin, to discuss the German bishops’ statute for a proposed Synodal Council. This body would start in 2026, be permanent and would grant lay members decision-making power.
Furthermore, Spuntoni reveals that Cardinal Marx called during the January 7–8 consistory for the introduction of female deacons. He is the principal architect of the German synodal process.

Watch independent news and do not make this as right or left, it;s a stupid way of thinking. There's so much lies being told in the news and this government is evil. Serves evil and does evil. I'm sorry for those who make this a thing about parties because they will also die eventually, they will only have two options, obey or disobey, if they obey out of fear of being killed, they will die later on, MARK MY WORDS, they will remember my words if they read this, in the near future when this happens, and they decide to blindly obey they will suffer a terrible death later on because the devil himself will make sure to give it to them, as he is already walking in the world waiting for his moment to appear as the savior and the one bringing the solution to all the problems. Those who think about parties with these events if they do not wake up THEY WILL CONDEMN THEMSELVES TO HELL AS THE BLOOD THIS GOVERNMENT IS CAUSING IN AND OUT THE U.S. WILL BE ALSO IN THEIR HANDS.

A l'évidence, l'apparition de la Vierge Marie, le 17 janvier 1871, à Pontmain

A l'évidence, l'apparition de la Vierge Marie, le 17 janvier 1871, à Pontmain, alors que la guerre que Napoléon III a déclaré à la Prusse se solde par une série de défaites, motiverait qu'on citât Pontmain dans les manuels d'histoire. Ce documentaire passionnant, tourné à Pontmain et dans les environs, riche en témoignages et images d'archives, nous invite à comprendre pourquoi. Et pourquoi le sanctuaire de Pontmain, désormais de renommée internationale, est unique au monde. Sans doute est-ce parce que l'apparition de la Belle Dame à Pontmain présente un caractère particulier. En opposition à la plupart des apparitions de Marie, qui parle aux voyants - en général des enfants, comme à La Saiette ou Fatima - la Vierge s'est en effet adressée ce jour-là aux petits paroissiens de Pontmain par le biais de l'écriture. Une écriture en lettres d'or. « Priez, mes enfants, écrit la Reine du Ciel, mon fils se laisse toucher. Dieu vous exaucera en peu de temps ». Découvrons ensemble …More

ICE Takes Out Most Dangerous Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary Minnesota

WASHINGTON, DC – A press release issued earlier in January by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) highlighted how the agency’s efforts in “sanctuary Minnesota” are still rendering favorable results in terms of apprehended criminal illegal aliens under President Donald Trump’s leadership.
A January 14th press release from ICE announced operations within Minnesota have resulted in multiple arrests of criminal illegal aliens who are alleged “gang members…many convicted of violent crimes,” emphasizing said criminals were among those being shielded by pro-sanctuary politicians like “like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.”
“These are the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that ICE is targeting,” the press release reads, adding, “and who rioters, agitators, and sanctuary politicians like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are trying to protect. Several of these dangerous criminal illegal alien gang members have been arrested during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.”
The agency detailed …

I have seen and testified
January 18 - Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear brothers and sisters, John the Baptist, in the passage from the Gospel of St. John the Apostle that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, January 18, helps us better understand the beautiful mission of us Christians in the world. First of all, we must "see," with the "eyes" of faith, God's love for us in the Risen Jesus, present through His Holy Catholic Church, in His Word, in His Sacraments, especially in the Holy Eucharist.
Regarding the encounter with God in His Word, Pope Leo in his catechesis on Wednesday, January 14, pointing to the DEI VERBUM, as one of the most beautiful and important documents of the Second Vatican Council, recalls that its purpose is to nourish the New Testament hope in the God who makes us children and calls us to become like Him even though in our fragile humanity. That's why the Pope invites us to cultivate friendship with God by listening to His Word and through liturgical, communal …More
