I am a Latin Mass Catholic American. Read the entire blog before you reach conclusions about me. Novus Ordo Catholics, Jews, and Muslims are valid targets. The Novus Ordo is corrupt from top to bottom, and public figures are subject to criticism. As an American, I believe that rights are God-given, not awarded by any government, and I assume the First Amendment applies to me and everybody else. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

​There is no way to redress grievances with Rome. Ripperger's lecture on aliens is appalling. He is neither scientist nor mathematician, making him unqualified. Rome is deaf, dumb, and backward-looking, as not one word has been spoken about Unidentified Anomalous Objects.

So, what is being done?


Countries with Extreme Restrictions (2026)
  • China: underground
  • North Korea: most dangerous country for Catholics, with no legal religious freedom and severe punishment for any known religious activity
  • Yemen & Somalia: high-risk environments where violent persecution and Islamic extremist groups make public practice impossible
  • Saudi Arabia: Public worship for non-Muslims is strictly prohibited, with legal bans on churches and the public display of symbols.
  • Libya: Lack of a central government leaves Catholics vulnerable to extremist groups, with little to no legal protection for converts.
  • Afghanistan & Iran: Worship is restricted to the underground, with conversions from Islam punishable by imprisonment or death.
  • Algeria: Reports as of March 2026 indicate that Catholics face continued state-led shuttering of churches and criminalization of conversion. 
    World Population Review +2
Specific Restrictions and Context
  • Eritrea: Only specific government-recognized groups are permitted.
  • Nigeria: In certain regions, Catholics face kidnapping and violence from extremist groups, limiting the ability to practice openly.
  • India: Rising religious nationalism has led to increased harassment and threats. World Population Review +2
  • Israel (Jerusalem): During heightened security, such as March 2026, access to specific sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre can be restricted by authorities to Novus Ordo Palestinian Catholics only.

Israel & ICJ

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is currently hearing a case filed by South Africa alleging that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, issuing provisional measures demanding Israel prevent such acts, allow humanitarian aid, and halt its military offensive in Rafah. While Israel denies the charges and challenges the court's jurisdiction, it is bound by the Genocide Convention. American Jewish Committee (AJC) +3

Key Aspects of ICJ Action (as of March 2026):
  • Interventions: As of March 2026, many countries, including the Netherlands, Iceland, Colombia, and Spain, have filed declarations of intervention in support of the case.
  • Occupation Advisory Opinion (July 2024): The ICJ issued an advisory opinion declaring Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967 unlawful, calling for its end, and asserting that Israel must make reparations.
  • Status of Proceedings: A final verdict on the merits of the genocide case is not expected until 2027 or later. The court has confirmed that it has jurisdiction to render advisory opinions on Israel's obligations in the occupied territories.
  • Israel's Position: Israel denies the allegations of genocide and has filed arguments stating the court lacks jurisdiction, arguing its actions are in self-defense. 
    Welcome to the United Nations +6
  • Genocide Case (South Africa v. Israel): Initiated in late 2023, this case accuses Israel of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention. The court has ordered provisional measures, including reporting on efforts to prevent genocide and enhancing humanitarian access.

​The ICJ's orders are legally binding, but the court relies on the UN Security Council to enforce an order. International Bar Association +2

"More than a decade after Europe flung its doors open to a flood of asylum-seekers, the European Union is reversing course, expanding its powers to track, detain, and deport illegal migrants to "return hubs" in third countries across Africa and beyond. The new enforcement regime, known as the Pact on Migration and Asylum, takes effect 6/12/2026, and marks the sharpest turn in EU immigration policy since the crisis began in 2015. The pact grants EU institutions and member states enhanced authority to conduct raids, track illegal migrants, and remove them to designated countries..." By Marissa George, Real Talk Digest

  2. 3/28/1966: A memo within the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library notes the recent flurry of newspaper stories about Michigan sightings referencing a letter from then Michigan congressman Gerald Ford regarding the sightings.

Quintanilla dies at San Antonio, TX. (born Mexico)

​Project Blue Book
​Project Blue Book was a U.S. Air Force program (1952–1969) that investigated over 12,000 UFO sightings, concluding that none posed a national security threat. It was terminated on 12/17/1969, 57 years ago, following the 1968 Condon Report, which deemed further studies unjustified. Its archives were declassified and are available at the National Archives (.gov) +4

​However, some files some are restricted for privacy or national security reasons. That's the problem. When will the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files be opened to the public? Coincidence that the Novus Ordo Missae came into effect on 11/30/1969, 57 years ago. Born 1952, I was one of the first to see the thing, 10/19/1969.

Same tactics
​The Air Force and Holy See use the same tactics.
Mislead and cover up the truth.

Music
Asymmetric in music refers to rhythms, meters, or phrasing that do not divide into equal, balanced parts, often resulting in an uneven pulse or irregular phrase lengths.


Geometry
Asymmetric in geometry is lacking symmetry, not identical on both sides of a central line.


Debussy
​Claude Debussy was not conventionally religious, describing himself as "neither a practicing Catholic nor a believer". Instead, he identified his faith as being rooted in nature and its mysteries, stating, "I have made the mysteries of nature my religion," say American Symphony Orchestra and Vermont Public (NPR).

Church
The Church formally condemns philosophical naturalism, as it directly opposes fundamental doctrines by denying the existence of a supernatural order, a personal God, and the human soul. Naturalism is considered a heresy because it claims that only natural entities and causes exist, rejecting divine revelation and intervention.

Giant Unknown

3/27/2026

0 Comments

 
Giant from the Unknown (1958) was filmed in the San Bernardino National Forest in California, with many scenes shot around the town of Fawnskin and Big Bear Lake. Interior and studio scenes were filmed at Screencraft Studios on Melrose Avenue, Hollywood.


UAPs
​There have been UFO/UAP sightings reported near Big Bear Lake, California, and throughout the surrounding San Bernardino Mountains. While not as famous a hotspot as some desert locations, the region's isolated, high-altitude setting makes it a site for unusual light sightings in reports filed with researchers.

Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is approximately 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino Mountains. It is a popular year-round resort destination typically reached within a two- to three-hour drive from the Los Angeles area, offering skiing in the winter and hiking or water activities in the summer.

Indian Tribes

The people of the San Bernardino Mountains are primarily the Serrano Indians, aka "People of the Pines" or Yuhaaviatam. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is a major Serrano tribe based in the mountains near Highland, CA. Other groups with connections to the region include the Morongo Bands of Mission Indians, Cahuilla, and Gabrieleno-Tongva. Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (.gov) +6

Conquistadors

Spanish military governor Pedro Fages is generally recognized as the first European to see and enter the San Bernardino Mountains, doing so in 1772 while pursuing army deserters. He likely viewed the range while passing through the area between Reche Canyon and present-day Lytle Creek/Cajon Pass. Wikipedia +3
  1. Explorer: Pedro Fages (military commander/governor of Alta California)
  2. Purpose: Chasing deserters from the Spanish mission/military in San Diego
  3. Route: Fages likely traveled from the San Jacinto Valley, through the Beaumont/Banning area, into the San Bernardino Valley, and exited toward the Mojave Desert, according to historical interpretations of his diaries. 
    Wikipedia +4
While Franciscan Friars Father Francisco Garcés later traveled the region in 1776, and Father Dumetz is often associated with the name "San Bernardino" in 1810, Fages holds the distinction of being the first European to reach the area. peakvisor.com +2

AARO
The All-domain Resolution Office (ARRO) is a U.S. Department of Defense office at the Pentagon established in July 2022 to detect, identify, and attribute Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) near national security areas. It uses a scientific, data-driven approach to investigate UAPs in the air, sea, space, and land to mitigate safety and intelligence threats. AARO (.mil) +3  It does not exist.

Dark Skies
Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, co-creators of Dark Skies, an American science fiction television series that aired on NBC for one season from 1996 to 1997, and the new investigative podcast "Sound, Light, and Frequency", suggest that there is a hidden relationship involving government secrecy and Hollywood, the Pentagon, Naval Intelligence, the CIA, UFOs, and UAPs.

After launching "Dark Skies" in 1996, they say that they were approached by a man claiming to be from the Office of Naval Intelligence, who suggested they had “gotten a lot right” and wanted to help shape what went into the show.

Disclosure Day
All this casts some doubt on Disclosure Day, set for release on 6/12/2026.

Herrington
Reagan’s Secretary of Energy John Bennett Herrington, b. 9/14/1958, reportedly cried every day after being briefed about UFOs, per Hollywood director Brent Friedman who spoke with him. "This is not the world I thought I brought my daughters into. Aliens are real, they are here, and I’ve seen them.”

Commander John Herrington, United States Navy, was the first enrolled member of the Chickasaw Tribe to fly in space. During his 2002 STS-113 Space Shuttle Endeavour mission, he carried the Chickasaw Nation flag, eagle feathers, and a traditional flute to honor his heritage. The University of North Carolina at Pembroke +2

Why build when 11% of American Catholics are saved? That's the percentage who go every Sunday/Holy Day. The Trinity comes to every person once and the response is yes or no. Why build when so few say yes and a shack will do for those who do? Many said no and still go (church, temple, synagogue, or mosque), and for a variety of reasons, none of which will save.

Estimates suggest that there are 200,000 to 500,000 Hasidic Jews worldwide, with the population growing rapidly because of high birth rates. The majority live in Israel and the United States (primarily New York), with smaller communities in London, Antwerp, and Montreal. Chabad.org +4

Torah Talmud

A legal definition of "who is a Jew" exists in Israel, primarily for immigration and citizenship under the 1970 amendment to the Law of Return. It defines a Jew as someone born to a Jewish mother or converted, who is not a member of another religion. This differs from religious (Orthodox) law and often triggers debate. Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis +3

Seven Noahide Laws mentioned do not form Catholic morality: the Ten Commandments do. 1) I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me. 2) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 3) Remember to keep holy the Lord's day. 4) Honor thy father and thy mother. 5) Thou shalt not kill. 6) Thou shalt not commit adultery. 7) Thou shalt not steal. 8) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 9) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. 10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.
​

A talisman is an object, such as an inscribed stone or ring, believed to possess magical powers to protect or heal its owner. It originates from Greek télesma, meaning completion or religious rite, and Arabic ṭilasm, meaning magical image, ultimately derived from teleîn, meaning to consecrate or bring into effect.

Cedrus libani, commonly known as cedar of Lebanon, Lebanon cedar, or Lebanese cedar, is a species of large evergreen conifer in the genus Cedrus. Scientific names for plants and trees are primarily in Latin or Latinized Greek, called binomial nomenclature, two-part naming.


Cedar trees in Lebanon are significantly reduced from ancient times, covering only about 1% of their original range. They are protected in scattered, high-altitude reserves, most famously the "Cedars of God" near Bsharri.

Jews
The Jewish population of Finland is around 1,300 to 1,500 registered members, with an estimated "enlarged" population of over 2,500. The largest group is in Helsinki (approx. 1,200–1,400), with a smaller, historic den in Turku (~200).

Catholics
Finland has not had a large Catholic population in modern history. Catholicism was the dominant faith from the 1100s until the protestant revolt in the 1500s. Catholicism was virtually eliminated and banned for centuries, resulting in Finland having one of the smallest Catholic percentages in Europe. Reddit +4

Key historical points regarding Catholicism in Finland:
  • Medieval Period: Catholicism was introduced in the 12th century and flourished for about 400 years.
  • The "Reformation": In the 1550s, Finland (as part of Sweden) adopted Lutheranism, making Catholicism largely disappear.
  • Religious Restrictions: Between 1550 and 1917, when Finland was under Swedish and later Russian rule, Catholic practice was tightly restricted or forbidden.
  • Small Resurgence: A small Catholic presence re-emerged. By 1830, there were only about 3,000 Catholics in the Grand Duchy of Finland.
  • Modern Status: Catholicism is currently experiencing small growth, driven by immigration, but Catholics still make up a tiny minority of the population. Reddit +6

Lutherans​
Historically, Finland has been dominated by Lutheranism and, in some regions, the Orthodox Church. New Advent +1

Zionism
Zionism, as an organized political movement for a Jewish national home in Palestine, was formally established by Theodor Herzl in 1897 with the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. While ideological roots emerged in the late 19th century (1860s-1880s), the movement officially mobilized around 1896-1897. Wikipedia +4

Q. Did Huckabee ever meet Jeffrey Epstein?
A. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the current Governor of Arkansas and former White House Press Secretary for Donald Trump, is mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Here are the key details regarding her inclusion in the records:
  • Passing References: According to reports on the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice in late 2025, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was mentioned in passing.
  • Context of Mentions: The files also included news stories about her father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and other Arkansas-related stories, such as an illegal gifts case involving former Tyson Foods CEO Don Tyson.
  • No Documented Ties: Extensive reviews of court documents, flight logs, and investigative reporting have not revealed any direct contact, association, or meetings between Sanders and Jeffrey Epstein or his associates.
  • Prior Defense of Acosta: In 2019, while serving as White House Press Secretary, Sanders defended Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta for his handling of the 2008 Jeffrey Epstein prosecution, stating he made the "best possible decision and deal" at the time. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette +3
  • Acosta: Alexander Acosta, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and later U.S. Secretary of Labor, was under intense, renewed scrutiny for his role in negotiating the 2008 non-prosecution plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein. The case, which allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser state charges rather than federal sex trafficking, has been described by critics as a "sweetheart deal". PBS +4

​Many public officials' names have appeared in the wide-ranging Epstein files in various contexts, often without implying wrongdoing, including those who were mentioned only in news clips or articles within the documents. BBC +1

A review of state records by Guardian America revealed that Mike Huckabee was unusually reliant on one man, a flamboyant Little Rock businessman named Jennings Osborne for his largesse. Osborne got rich in the medical-testing business and was named to a state commission by Huckabee in 1999, the same year that he bought Huckabee more than $20,000 worth of clothing. Osborne is Ashkenazi.
