The Simpsons predicted pandemic? (cartoon)


If it was planned and predicted, it was a "plandemic" like that banned movie said so. Watch on BitChute.com. It's a damning portrayal of corrupt Big Pharma complicit with the military-industrial complex and corporate media. The Simpsons are used to preview future events with limited disclosure. This strange process and the unbelievable motive behind it are referred to as "predictive programming."

BUDDHA BOY 2010 (Discovery Channel)

Buddha Boy (Ram Bahadur Bomjon or Palden Dorje) is a Nepalese teenager whose remarkable path parallels the life of Siddhartha Gautama, who meditated until he reached buddhahood. This documentary establishes that Buddha Boy is indeed meditating 24 hours a day without any food or water, a medical impossibility. The camera keeps rolling nonstop for four days, the amount of time it takes a human to die of dehydration.

Discovery Channel documentary: "The Boy With Divine Powers" (5 part series)

The meditating teenager was seen sweating and shifting during that time but continued his endeavor unabated. The cameras were absent when Buddha Boy spontaneously burst into flames as claimed by 59 eye witnesses. The flames, possibly a result of a Tibetan meditation practice known as tumo, did not consume him. They came from him. Amateur footage of at least part of the event show him standing and somewhat distressed by the heat.

American Witch runs for US Senate

October is Monster Month on Wisdom Quarterly

Republican conservative and Sarah Palin sidekick Christine O'Donnell disclaiming that she's a witch just because she "dabbled in witchcraft" (TIME.com).

"I am not a witch."

Only in the ever-wackier 2010 election cycle would a campaign video start with such an assertion. But this particular ad was for Delaware's Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, whose recent admission that she "dabbled in witchcraft" as a teen has brought toil and trouble to the Wiccan community.

To find out more about the Wiccan religion — which bases its belief system on witchcraft — TIME spoke to Michael Smith, a Wiccan high priest and IT consultant from O'Donnell's home state.

Q: How long have you been involved with your coven, and what do you do to practice your faith?

A: In 1993 I moved to Georgetown, Del., and joined the Coven of the Rowan Star, which is in a larger tradition called the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel.

The religious life is based on eight holidays — the wheel of the year — this cycle of nature that runs through the seasons, based both on nature itself and its reflection in the light of a human being. It's the cycle of rise and fall, and change and growth, and evolution.

Q: And what kind of rituals do you engage in?

There are a variety of things people practice and learn. Wicca itself holds that what would commonly be referred to as "supernatural" or "paranormal" is actually... More>>

Q: Among those Wiccans in Delaware, how has the reaction been to Christine O'Donnell's comments?

A: There was a lot of eye rolling. It obscures the actual issues involved [in Wicca]. Who knows what she did or dabbled in when she was in high school.

I doubt very seriously that she knows what it was. Certainly I do not think that she has any concept about what witchcraft, Wicca, or Paganism actually is. I doubt very seriously whether she has any concept of what Satanism actually is.

Q: How did you react to her conflation of witchcraft and Satanism? [O'Donnell said her dabbling included having a picnic on a bloody Satanic altar.]

A: One grows accustomed to it. It's a ridiculous and childish and uniformed conflation. Most monotheistic religions, as they encounter other paths and belief systems, tend to want to confuse those with their own conceptions of what is evil.

Satanism is a Judeo-Christian-Islamic concept. To be a Satanist, one must believe in Satan. We don't do that. It's not part of our belief system at all.

Burmese Junta Presses Military for Support

YANGON (AFP) – Myanmar's junta deputy leader General Maung Aye has urged military officers to take responsibility for the success of elections planned for next year, a state newspaper said.

In a speech at a graduation ceremony for new officers, the general told recruits that it was their job to ensure the country's transition to a mature democracy, the New Light of Myanmar reported.

"I would say you are responsible for the democratic transition, in cooperation with the people, to ensure the successful completion of 2010 elections," Maung Aye told the gathering in the military town of Bahtoo in Shan State. More>>

The End of the USA

Russian scholar says US will collapse — in 2010

MOSCOW – If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

"There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend. More>>

Israel a "Cancer," Holocaust a "Lie"

Iran's leader said on Wednesday that President Barack Obama is pur-suing the same "wrong path" as his predecessor George W. Bush in supporting Israel and described the Jewish state as a "cancerous tumor."

The comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are likely to frustrate the new U.S. administration which has been seeking to engage Iran but has called on Tehran to "unclench its fist."

"Even the new president of America, who has come to power with slogans about changing Bush's policies, is defending state terrorism by talking about unconditional commitment to Israel's security," Reuters reported Khamenei said at a conference on the Palestinian issue in Tehran. More>>
