CREEPY CLOWN CRAZE: A Truly Impressive Corporate Media Campaign

clowns

Another week, another barrage of “creepy clown” propaganda from the Corporate Media.

The Corporate Media obsession with clown stories continues unabated.

One has to give the media credit: the number of variations on the “creepy clown” theme has reached truly epic levels. There have been some truly imaginative clown stories.

One also has to give the media credit: the media has unleashed a flood of media attention not seen since the early days of their impressive”Donald Trump is a serious presidential candidate, really” campaign.

YET, they pretend not to have a clue where all of this attention has originated.

And they have the supreme arrogance to attribute this “clown hysteria” to the public.

The following is merely a sample: the media has offered dozens more.

What’s behind the creepy clown hysteria? – It’s supposed it would be giving too much away to answer: the media.

And just in case the reader thought the creepy clown phenomena was a recent media invention, we offer the following.

FROM TWO YEARS AGO

Creepy clown sightings go nationwide – All clowns are creepy. Admit it.

FROM THREE YEARS AGO

Gunman in clown suit guns down Mexican drug cartel member  – A lot of people do not like clowns.  Some people FEAR clowns.  This is known as coulrophobia.

The hunch is that more members of Mexican drug cartels may experience this after today

IS the reader still depending on the media for information?

Does the reader often say to himself “That doesn’t make sense“?

There’s still yet time to turn to the only source of ultimate truth.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

End Time Rising: Running out of Time

Make Your Calling and Election Sure: End Times Survival

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3

SEEN THE LAST WEEK: 2 OFF-BEAT AMERICAN FLAGS

During some recent travels, this writer happened upon two different versions of the American flag over the last week. The flags were flying at two different locations within four or five miles from each other.

An attempt to match them with lookalikes on the Internet didn’t yield much success.

Perhaps the reader can shed some light on what these two hybrid American flags are about? Are these common throughout the USA? Do they represent anything in particular?  What might that be?

Or is it just the time of the season for something unusual?

(Which can mean a lot of different things.)

A Country Founded by Geniuses, Run by Idiots: How True?

Founded by Geniuses, Run by Fools
Founded by Geniuses? Run by Idiots, Fools? [image: ETPR]

Founded by Geniuses, Run by Idiots?

How True for the USA?

Received in the Email, a letter titled “A country founded by geniuses, run by idiots.”

But how true is the email?  First, the amusing content.

  • If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without  a license, but not for being in the country illegally … you might live in a  country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If you have to get your  parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not  to get an abortion … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run  by idiots.
  • If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got  here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project  to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction … you might live in a  country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If you have to show  identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a  library book, but not to vote who runs the government … you might live in a  country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If the government wants to  ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten  rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt … you  might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If, in the  largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because  24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat … you might live in a country  founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If an 80-year-old woman can be  stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having  her neck and head searched … you might live in a country founded by geniuses  but run by idiots.
  • If your government believes that the best way to  eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more … you might  live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If a seven year  old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher “cute,” but hosting a  sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable  … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If  children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings  while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”… you  might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If hard  work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while  not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized  housing, and free cell phones … you might live in a country founded by  geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If the government’s plan for getting people  back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of Unemployment checks  and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work … you might live  in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If you pay your  mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your  neighbor buys iPhones, TV’s and new cars, and the government forgives his debt  when he defaults on his mortgage … you might live in a country founded by  geniuses but run by idiots.
  • If being stripped of the  ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government …  you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

Amusing, but true?

The email claimed that the above came from comedian, Jeff Foxworthy. That is not true, according to Foxworthy’s brother.

One further question might be asked: If the USA was “founded by geniuses,” why is the USA in the current shape it’s in after only 237 years?

Here’s a list of long-lived empires:

11 Portuguese – 534 years
10 Ottoman (Turkish) Empire – 623 years
9 Khmer Empire – 630 years
8 Ethiopian Empire – 665 years
7 Kanem Empire – 687 (approximate)

6 Holy Roman Empire – 844 years
5 Silla – 992 years
4 Republic of Venice – 1100 years
3 The Papal States – Territories under the direct sovereign rule of the Popes for 1260 years.
2 Kingdom of Kush – 1420 years

1 Roman/Eastern Roman Empire – 1480 years (This doesn’t include the 500 years that Rome was a Republic, or the various monarchies and assorted dictatorships.

Altogether, Rome persevered for about 2300 years–2800 if one includes the Vatican–still going strong!–which arose from the ruins of the Western Empire.

This may be the time to point out that the “genius” founders of the USA get plenty of credit when things went right–and none of the blame when things have gone wrong.

It was the genius founders who set up a system that gave nine unelected justices in Washington DC the right to decide what rights the citizens will be allowed, thus invalidating the constitution.

It was the genius founders who specifically set up separation of church and state–ensuring that the future USA would in no way become a Christian nation.

It was the genius founders who set up a system that is falling apart due to human greed. It’s assumed that all of the geniuses that founded the country were aware that humans are greedy?

Actually, one suspects the geniuses who designed the system got exactly what they planned. The system works exactly as it was meant to work; i.e., not very well after 200 or so years.

Still, parts of the email were amusing.

Demons Exorcised: Polish Exorcisms Available For Internet Addicts

2013: POLISH EXORCISMS STILL IN THE NEWS

Exorcisms are on the rise in Poland and across Europe with more trained priests ready to battle the Devil, evil, and the requisite demons who accompany them. We decided to look into the Ritual of Exorcism and the steps taken to perform one.

According to a story in the Boston Globe there’s been a resurgence in exorcisms performed by Catholic priests and other exorcist trained laymen. Courses are being taught in a Catholic university in Rome in exorcisms and the Church, in 1999, formally “revised and upheld the ritual for the first time in almost 400 years.”

According to the Church, evil is on an upswing with people’s lax attitudes about attending Mass and exposure to “doors of evil” such as New Age therapies, alternative religions, internet junkies and yoga enthusiasts.

Plans are under way in Poland to build the area’s only ExorcismsRus center:

The Rev. Andrzej Trojanowski, a soft-spoken Pole, plans to build a “spiritual oasis” that will serve as Europe’s only center dedicated to performing exorcisms. With the blessing of the local Catholic archbishop and theological support from the Vatican, the center will aid a growing number of Poles possessed by evil forces or the devil himself, he said.

The website, St. Michael, has some tips on whether one is actually possessed by demons and what to avoid in order to stay away from potential demon-infested activities:

  • The Ouija board is a popular occult board game and there is also Dungeons and Dragons. Satan’s main target in Dungeons and Dragons game is our youth. With Dungeons and Dragons, the most powerful and successful players are those who use magic. There is a Dungeons Master Guide that even teaches new beginners how to communicate with the dead, cast spells, and learn to chant.
  • The use of magic revolves around evil spirits, psychic abilities and contacting spirits. Magic is a power that does not involve God. It is a power that is derived from such things as voodoo, sorcery, primitive religions and Satanism. Most witches who use magic swear that they do not worship Satan but worship the gods and goddesses of nature (The gods and goddesses of nature are hardly Jesus Christ! Of course they worship Satan! Do not let someone who practices this occult tell you otherwise!). Many of these individuals are unknown because they blend in quite well. They can be found attending church services in every denomination and they practice their magic on the side. If someone tells you white magic is ok–don’t believe them!!
  • Use of new age tools such as crystals, divination, astrology, tarot cards, crystal balls, reincarnation, pendulums, Yoga, Transcendental Meditation
  • Those who make a pact with Satan or attend Satanic services or rituals.
  • Going to Séances, fortune tellers, Horoscopes, or spiritualist meetings for the purpose of contact the dead.
  • Those who use alcohol or mind changing drugs such as LSD, cocaine, marijuana
  • Sex out of wedlock, active homosexuals, masturbation, adultery
  • Those who have an abortion
  • Those who try to commit suicidal or have suicidal tendencies.

There are also ways the “innocent” can be victimized by evil:

In some cases, evil spirits enter an innocent victim. The victim may be an unborn baby who is cursed from the mother’s womb. The curse can be from a jealous relative, friend, enemy, or even the child’s own parents.

Innocent victims may also include children who are not loved, who are mistreated or abused or rejection by other children, siblings, parents, etc. The abuse can range from sexual abuse, mental abuse, or physical abuse.

There are standard rules and procedures when performing an exorcism such as the priest wearing an alb and purple stole before he begins the prayer. He will make the sign of the cross over the demon possessed and then wrap one end of the stole around the victim’s neck:

One may have two normal sized stoles sewn together in order to have a very long stole to extend from the priest to the victim’s neck. It is truly amazing how the blessed stole calms and controls the possessed person. Certainly one initially may encounter violent reactions, but that is to be expected. The stole not only symbolizes, but demonstrates the power of the priesthood. Jesus binds the evil spirits with the use of this sacramental.

The priest is instructed to place his right hand on the devil inflicted’s head and a Bible must be close by for “questioning and commanding the demons to respond.”

One wonders what type of rapport the priest finds when conversing with the demons who possess the poor victim? Are some demons better spoken, have a higher intellect than others?

The Bible comes in handy as some poor souls point out to the priest the “avenue” with which evil was able to enter them:

After invoking the Holy Spirit, there is surprising response and confirmation, which are keys to opening up and freeing the person. For example, a woman who had been a war orphan revealed through scripture that she was not baptized. Another woman opened the Bible to Tobias where it stated that she was not married in the church. A couple opened the Bible to the Old testament reading on abortion, which confirmed, at some point to unforgiven sin. Others opened to a passage focusing on a generational curse. While still others read a verse on incest in the family. One girl indicated the story of Jacob and Essau. Her twin brother was murdered at three months of age. She was the second to be born and like Jacob became the first through infanticide. Others have indicated a need for greater humility, faith and fasting. The Rite of Exorcism uses passages from Jn. 1:1-14; Mk. 16:15-18; Lk. 1:17-20; Lk. Source – St. Michael


Relics must be on hand, those are the rules. The “relics” must be “first class,” those of a saint. Handkerchiefs touched by St. Paul, the “shadow” of St. Peter, or the Blessed Sacrament of Jesus.

Medals also come in handy. The medal of St. Benedict is known for warding of evil spirits along with the scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and the Rosary.

The Rosary

The blessing of the rosary states, “Nos eriperes de potestate diaboli” Our Lord Jesus Christ through His life, death and resurrection has “snatched us from the power of the devil.” Abundant graces are granted through proper recitation of the rosary, “Ab omni hoste visibili et invisibili et ubíque in hoc sáeculo liberetur” (from every enemy both visible and invisible and everywhere in this lifetime be freed). St. Dominic freed a heretic from 15,000 devils, when the man had blasphemed the Blessed Mother and the Rosary. St. Dominic preached on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary and asked the faithful to pray and meditate. For every mystery, 1,000 demons left him in the form of burning coals until he was delivered. The rosary is the chain that Our Lady uses to bind Satan. It is often seen in a possessed individual, that the demon is irritated and they complain that the rosary burns them and they often destroy the rosary. Source – St. Michael

The Crucifix is essential, “symbolic of the defeat of Satan through the death of Christ.”

The long prayer for Solemn Blessing of the Crucifix, “Ut quóties triúmphum divínae humnilitátis, quae supérbiam nostri hostis dejecit” and (how often the divine humility has triumphed casting out the pride of our enemy). “Dignáre respícere, bene + dícere et Sancti + ficáre hanc creaturm incensi, ut omnes languores, omnesque imfirmitates, atque insidiar inimici, odorem ejus sentientes, efffugiant, et separatur a plasmate tuo; ut num quam lædatur amorsu antiqui serpentes” (Deign to care for bless and sanctify those being inflamed by passion and weakness, any sickness, deceits of the foe and suspicious resentments felt by them. Be cast out and driven away from your creature) and “Numquam lædatur a morsu antiqui derpentis” (Never to be hurt by the bite of the ancient serpent). Source – St. Michael

Guidelines have been established as to who can perform an exorcism. Priests must have explicit permission from higher-ups, the priest must be pious, prudent and have personal integrity.

The priest must be versed in all the tricks and shenanigans pulled by the evil entity.

The priest must be aware that “certain species” of the Devil cannot be overthrown unless faced with “prayer and fasting.”

During the exorcism no ad-libbing by the priest. Only the words of the Bible must be used. The priest must also command the evil dweller to state just how he entered the host.

The priest must be humble and rely only on God for direction. The priest must remember that evil spirits may lie and not tell the truth. The priest must refrain from asking the demon any questions outside the reference of the Bible and exorcism, such as “what does your mother think about you being a demon?” or “just when did you “go evil?”

In summary, according to St. Michael, it is only through prayer, fasting, and humility on the part of the priest and the willingness of the victim to get rid of their demons can an exorcism be successful.

We wondered if those who became possessed through the internet, if the computer used could be also be considered a “vessel of evil” and therefore, should be destroyed?

There you have it, evil is on the rise throughout the world and the Church is responding by recognizing its centuries old, but still effective manner of ridding poor infected souls of the devil and his minions, exorcism.

Unfortunately for Americans, with a lifestyle that just begs evil to enter their souls, there’s an acute shortage of qualified, highly trained exorcism specialists on hand, and since you are reading this with the help of the internet, you too, might just be in the same boat as us, possessed by evil.

If one can afford it, place yourself on the Polish Exorcist Center’s waiting list, where an exorcism is just a passport and plane ticket away.

Foreign Book Sellers with Accents Going Door-to-Door Asking for Information about Children

CREEPY - Door-to-door children's book sellers with foreign accents seeking information about children in the house
CREEPY – Door-to-door children’s book sellers with foreign accents seeking information about children in the house have been reported all over the USA.

DOOR-TO-DOOR BOOK SALESMEN:

FOREIGN ACCENTS, WELL-BUILT, PERSISTENT and SEEKING INFORMATION ABOUT ANY CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?

UPDATES AT END

Reports are being received nationwide about door-to-door salesmen selling children’s book and persistently asking for information about any children in the home or in the neighborhood.

Book peddlers stir up concern on social media:

From Carlisle to Ephrata parents have gone on social media to warn each other of a bike-riding, book-selling person or group going door-to-door around the midstate.
[…]
Those who were approached all say the same thing. That the person asked where they could find other homes with children inside.

The story, from Mechanicsburg, PA  WHTM-abc-27, reported that “hundreds” of parents in the central Pennsylvania area have had “encounters” with the foreign bookseller.

The story was then picked up by South Carolina’s ABC Channel 4, Book peddlers stir up concern on social media.

The foreign bookseller stories first started circulating on the Steve Quayle website on June 26, and continued until today (July 11, 2013).

The foreign book sellers have been reported by Quayle’s readers from Los Angeles [July 11]; undisclosed USA [July 8]; undisclosed USA [June 29]; Fairbanks, Alaska [June 26]; and rural central Illinois [June 26].

UPDATE: In addition, reports have also appeared in local media in Pullman, Washington.

Various details gathered from reports include: the bookseller(s) working either singly or in a group; a heavy foreign–sometimes reported as Russian–accent; well-built; physically fit; military in manner or appearance; selling children’s books; the books are very expensive–sometimes reported in the $100 to $500 per book range.

In addition, the book sellers seek information about any children in the household, including names and ages. They are almost always reported as being “very persistent” about obtaining information about the children or wanting to know when they can return to talk to someone about this matter later.

Some reports say the book sellers inquire about other families with children living in the same neighborhood.

Several reports have mentioned that the parents in the homes contacted by the booksellers home school their children.

Since the phenomena has been reported in Alaska, Illinois, California, Pennsylvania and several undisclosed locations, it might be wise to take precautions until more is known.

Several articles speculated about “child abduction rings.”

As the WHTM article put it:

“…various police departments have warned that resident’s across the midstate should be cautious of anyone who comes to their door. If that person has a permit to sell door-to-door they are required to display their paperwork upon arrival.”

We’d say: good advice!

Until more is known, we’re  filing this story under “creepy.”

Stay tuned.

Chinese Buyers Flooding US Housing Market, Using Cash

Chinese buyers flooding US housing market.

CHINESE BUYERS WITH CASH MONEY

The Chinese have acquired a taste for American real estate–and are satisfying it with cash money.  According to the National Association of Realtors, Chinese buyers–and there’s no distinction whether this means “buyers from China” or “buyers of Chinese descent”–accounted for 18% of the $68.2 billion that foreigners spent on homes during the 12 months ended March.

Chinese Buyers Flood U.S. Housing Market

At a median price of $425,000, the Chinese are also buying more expensive homes than other foreign buyers, who spent a median of nearly $276,000 on U.S. homes. And nearly 70% of those pricey Chinese deals were made in all cash.

The article further states that nearly half of all homes sold in California are to Chinese buyers.

A few questions are in order.

Is this article to be believed?  If so, where are these Chinese buyers coming from?  China?

And why are so many plunking down cash on “pricey homes?”

More importantly, what does this mean–if anything?

Many thoughts–at this point it is merely speculation.

Stay tuned.

Suicide or Murder: The Curious Case of Ronald Opus

Suicide or Murder: The curious case of Ronald Opus
Suicide or Murder: the curious case of Ronald Opus? What was it? Was anyone guilty? Who was it?

CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTIONS?

Some have maintained that the curious case of Ronald Opus is a true one. Others have said that the story has been debunked; that this case is nothing more than an urban legend.

In the end, it matters little. The open-minded reader should examine the particulars of the case and see if he doesn’t agree with that assessment.

There are a few questions at the end.

The Curious Case of Ronald Opus

On March 23, 1994, a medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten-story building with the intent to commit suicide. (He left a note indicating his despondency.) As he passed the 9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, killing him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers, and that the decedent would most likely not have been able to complete his intent to commit suicide because of this.

Ordinarily, a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from suicide to homicide, but the fact that his suicide intent would not have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands.

Homicide!
Homicide!

Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. He was threatening her with the shotgun because of an interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the shotgun straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking the decedent.

When one intends to kill subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. The old man was confronted with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. It was the longtime habit of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He had no intent to murder her; therefore, the killing of the decedent appeared then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.

But further investigation turned up a witness that their son was seen loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had cut off her son’s financial support, and her son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son, one Ronald Opus, had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to get his mother murdered. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a 9th story window.

The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Jesus Christ: Lunatic, liar or Lord?
Jesus Christ: The Way, the Truth and the Life!

QUESTIONS

The main question this writer is prompted to ask: Where will Ronald Opus wake up: in heaven or hell?

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
–Hebrews 9:27

Committing suicide breaks the sixth law of God: thou shalt not kill (or murder) –this includes the taking of one’s own life.

“Thou shalt not kill.”
–Exodus 20:13

Poor Ronald! He is not only dead: he broke the sixth commandment in the process!

If only he had known Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, he would not have placed himself in that unfortunate situation. Ronald would have known “the peace that passeth all understanding.”

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

IF he had been saved from the stranglehold of sin, Ronald Opus, at the end of his days, would have been bound for glory: secure in the peace that comes from knowing that an eternity with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ awaited him.

If you were to die suddenly, where would you wake up?

If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, it only takes a minute to secure the eternal salvation that Ronald Opus now wishes he had had.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
–John 14:6

Jesus came to earth and died to open the doors of heaven to all mankind–because all have sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
–Romans 3:23

Do You Know if You are Going to Heaven?  Be Sure!

Don’t delay.

One of the devil’s best tricks is to convince you that you have all the time in the world.  But you don’t.  No one does.

Take a minute or two and save yourself an eternity.

Not saved?

The gospel of Christ has the power to save!

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
—Romans 1:16

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-4 – (h/t:B)
