I wonder if in Japan it's in their workplace culture to wear black & white to look professional. All I see is a sea of ppl in black & white, no colourful clothing. Much like in Western countries where wearing black is common in the corporate world... I watched a documentary of a family in China. The adult son wanted to marry, but they said China has a shortage of women, I'm sure from female infanticide back in the day. China had/has a 3 children per family rule. That's probably why abortion is so acceptable in some cultures. A high school friend of mine was Vietnamese & Chinese. Her mum had to have aborted 3 or more children. Interestingly, they have 3 living kids. My friend said no man should be able to tell a woman what to do with her body. I was shocked hearing this at such a young age. I lost touch with this friend, but sadly I don't doubt she's had an abortion(s) herself as she thinks it's ok since her mother did it. I've googled her & she's a very successful & wealthy woman. However, as I thought back then in highschool & now, it's all at the cost of her soul... Since I've remembered her, I pray for her & her family's conversion.
This is a God incidence, I've been thinking of this video. I pray for celebrities conversions, it's easy to forget to pray for them, no one may be praying for them, at all... Poor Marilyn Monroe, her mum was a schizophrenic, I think Marilyn was left an orphan. I'm not sure she even knew who her dad was so she threw herself into the arms of any man, it seems, all because she was so desperate for a father...
I don't think the problem with birthrates in Asian countries has much to do with their culture. I know Japan is falling faster than most, but the west isn't far behind. I think the problem is fiscal and the cost of living in Japan is already high. People aren't having kids because they aren't enabled to do so. They cannot afford it. It's all by design. But of course, the media likes to spin the narrative that it is the people's fault.
The price of gold is at record high - that tells us about the lack of faith in Fiat money. Strap yourselves in folks as sparks are going to fly this winter.
Meanwhile, billionaires and millionaires are fleeing the UK in record numbers as the Labour/communist party is in power and want to strip the rich of their assets (theft). Reeves signals she will target asset-rich households in November Budget https://www.telegraph.co.uk/busines...she-will-target-asset-rich-households-in-bud/
The UK economy is a basket case. People are fearing that the government will raid pension funds in the November budget and are taking precautionary action. Data from the Financial Conduct Authority shows that pension withdrawals were up by 36 per cent in 2024/25, rising from £52.2bn to £70.9bn. This is the same government that is introducing digital ID against the will of the people. The conditions for mass civil disobedience and even civil war are upon us, prophecy unfolding in front of our eyes.
I’d have more faith in a Fiat car than fiat money. The ‘Great Reset’ might not turn out to be what the Rothschilds and their class hoped. If things go wholly belly-up, it will be very difficult for the banksters to maintain control.
Everyone I know is struggling so much. I pray God hurries up, that the former will pass away. We can't, but God can. How can things continue on like this? Ppl say it will get worse before it gets better, but how much can our brains take? Lol. May God come to our aid, immediately, He'll have to carry us thru. I try to tell my mum this is not the time to commit mortal sin, but her gambling is getting worse. Both my parents aren't showing any signs of reparation for a lifetime of mortal sin. I'm not being harsh, just factual. They seem to think they are invincible. I ask God for the strength to accept whatever it is I need to accept. Much like Christine Watkins, where her parents refuse to repent & convert, believe in God; she kept telling her parents who are both atheists they are leaving everything to the last minute. She had to organise for them to be in a home, but I think things got bad. With my own parents, they've created their own mess. With the laws in Australia being what they are, they could face being euthanised if anything happens to them. Oh well, it's all in God's hands, I can relate to what Christine Watkins is going thru, both my parents think they'll live forever. My dad could've had a stroke last year his blood pressure was so high, but he never gets his health checked it was only for his driver's licence. Since human stubbornness prevails, God has to come in, it's the only way...
France is also a basket case. Germany is a basket case. The two parties in the US are in a mad dance trying not to be the one in power when the country’s vast, unreducible debt finally becomes uncontrollable. When this new ‘reset’ finally arrives, many of the sinister people with vast fortunes who are bribing and blackmailing their way into enforcing satan’s power could be swept away in what will be an unimaginable crash. We are facing a perfect storm, probably what is about to be the ‘Minor Chastisement’. Financial Armageddon, wars in Europe, between the EU and Russia and within the EU, between Muslims and Christians. Civil War in the US, with battle-lines already being drawn-military occupation of cities. Apostasy at the highest level of The Church. Disintegration of Protestant Christianity. Celebration of Child Sacrifice and sexual perversion.
Globally, things are in the toilet. Everything seems to be culturally acceptable - gay marriage, abortion, IVF which is abortion basically since they destroy fertilised eggs, artificial contraception etc. A lot of ppl couples cohabitating. I was thinking about Spain & while looking things up, it lead to Latinx coming up. I had seen 'Latinx' somewhere before & never thought anything of it. If you look it up - oh my goodness. It's no wonder I've heard ppl say they are Latina, Latino or Latinx - unbelievable.
I regulary check the Royal Mint to check on silver and gold coins. They are OUT OF STOCK OF MOST SILVER BULLION COINS I have never seen this before!!
"Japan is now losing about a million people per year due to natural population decline; Korea is heading toward 200,000, and Taiwan over 70,000." __________________________________________________ I rather consider it "unnatural" population decline. Apart from Africa, most of the rest of the world's families choose to have less than 2 children/couple.(post 19340) Result: world population will start declining and head for distinction sooner than later. Lord have Mercy!
It's called "Good Business"! The abuse in business practice used to entail sweat shops, insane hours, and poor wages! It's tidier now: mass elimination of jobs. But it increases the profit margins!
Love new project that was recently started in my neighborhood to display Sacred Heart of Jesus garden flags in front of our houses! Flag displays are to be started right away. Aim is to have as many flags up as possible by Pentecost Sunday 5/24/26. Flags are to be kept up throughout the month of June in celebration of the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Flags and flag poles are easily available online through Etsy.com, online Catholic stores and Amazon. Hope that other communities can join in to show our unity in Christ!
I think Ralph Martin provides good insights here in these times where there is disunity within the Church
I had a very disagreeable thought today. Most people are agreed on this site that we are in very bad times, indeed. It is hard to imagine that, if we lived back in the fifties-not that these times were perfect-we would have such a sense of foreboding. We seem to have a playing out of the Book of Revelation, the last example of absolutely doctrinal and dogmatic revelation, that ended with the death of its author. In this era of mass apostasy and genocide, the Jews, as we know, are central to Revelation. The Antichrist is meant to be Jewish. Zionist Israel is hugely ambitious with its eyes set on a ‘Greater Israel’. These Zionists, among them many billionaires with the ability to bribe and blackmail, seem to control the West. We know that many of them wish to build a Third Temple. We, as Christians, know that such a rebuild would be futile. The Lord of History permitted the Second Temple to be completely destroyed and so it was-the Jews now mistakenly wail at a wall of the Fort of Antony. The Talmud, a body of scripture dedicated to hatred of Christ and Christians and to the subversion and perversion of the Torah, tells us explicitly that the Temple sacrifice failed from the moment that the Clean Oblation was given in Sacrifice. We know that a Third Temple would be futile-its sacrifice is ended for evermore. Yet, we are told that the Antichrist will work what seem to be many wonders, which will deceive many. We are in the age of such ‘wonders’. With modern technology and image manipulation, how easy it would be to fake the old sign of the Temple sacrifice-the changing of the colour of tapers from red to white? And how easy it would be, with modern communication, to deceive millions? We are wide open for a grand deception. It will be brief, but horrible, if it happens. All the pieces of the Prophetic Jigsaw seem to be falling neatly into place. Please tell me I’m raving!
