Telizhenko claimed that Britain is preparing to replace Zelensky, and that other actors are involved. “The deep state itself” had “transferred from Washington to London today” and was “basically coordinating all the war-mongering process on Ukraine,” he stated. London and Brussels have “staged this whole situation to have a change of power,” with security guarantees “personally for Zelensky” forming part of the plan, Telizhenko added.

Ukraine elections under Zelensky will be a sham – ex-diplomat (VIDEO)

Elections under Vladimir Zelensky will neither be real nor legitimate, former Ukrainian diplomat Andrey Telizhenko has told RT, also claiming that Britain is preparing a change of power in Kiev.
Zelensky’s presidential term expired in May 2024, but he has refused to organize elections, citing martial law. Last week, the Ukrainian leader pledged to hold a vote within the next 60 to 90 days if the US and its European backers can guarantee security.
Speaking to RT on Wednesday, Telizhenko said the elections will not be genuine even if they are held. “Zelensky’s not going to have real elections,” Telizhenko said. “Even if he does, they’re not going to be legit.” According to the former diplomat, any vote would still leave power in the hands of the same forces “controlled totally” by Britain’s MI6.
Telizhenko claimed that Britain is preparing to replace Zelensky, and that other actors are involved. “The deep state itself” had “transferred from Washington to London today” and was …

A sober reflection on the state of abortion in Canada

In their latest message, Real Women of Canada offer a sober analysis about abortion in Canada. It's titled, "Changes in the Pro-Life Landscape." We post it here with permission.
Those who are strongly opposed to abortion on moral grounds in Canada may not be aware that the ground is slowly shifting on this issue. It is easy to miss these subtle changes taking place since we are barraged daily by the mainstream media which presents abortion as an absolute entitlement and permits no debate on the issue. According to the woke left-wing aristocracy of the Liberal government, and feminists, there is only one position recognized in Canada – that abortion be readily available for any reason.
The following is a clear-eyed analysis of the current pro-life landscape.
The Media Cone of Silence on Abortion is Broken
Due to the enormous funding given only to feminist groups by the federal and provincial governments over the past fifty years, feminism has prospered with the result that its perspective …

Why Should Americans Die for European Tyranny? – Allah's Willing Executioners

GROK youwatch
By J.B. Shurk
After the European Commission levied a several-hundred-million-dollar fine on Elon Musk and his social media platform X earlier this month, journalist Michael Shellenberger wrote a damning
post in which he excoriated Europe’s rank censorship and state-sponsored propaganda. He accused the commission of engaging “in a deception campaign aimed at confusing” Europeans and Americans into thinking that European elites’ “goal” is anything other than “to censor the American people.”
Shellenberger pointed out that Musk’s fine came while European governments are demanding backdoor access to all private text messages (under the pretense of combatting the transmission of child pornography) and creating a so-called “Democracy Shield” of government-funded “fact-checkers” that enables “censorship by proxy.” He also noted that the European Commission announced the fine to coincide with the rollout of the Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy, in …

China is untouchable: the Vatican's conspiracy of silence on Jimmy Lai

CHURCH
News of the conviction of Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai has been completely ignored by Vatican media outlets and the Holy See. This is yet another perverse consequence of the secret China-Vatican agreement: in the name of political expediency, Catholics are being left at the mercy of their persecutors.

- DOSSIER: Jimmy Lai, a Catholic against the Power
Yesterday, condemnations of the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities continued throughout the day for their conviction of Jimmy Lai, an entrepreneur and publisher who has become a symbol of Hong Kong's struggle for freedom and democracy, on charges of conspiracy and sedition. In a statement, the European External Action Service also spoke of a 'political trial' and the 'erosion of democracy and fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong since the National Security Law came into force in 2020', calling for 'the immediate and unconditional release of Jimmy …

Irapuato shares from Irapuato

Las Posadas: from December 16-24
Las Posadas originated in colonial Mexico. The Augustinian friars of San Agustin de Acolman, near Mexico City, are believed to have organized the first posadas. In 1586, Friar Diego de Soria, the Augustinian prior, obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus V to celebrate what was called ‘Misas de Aguinaldo’ or ‘Christmas bonus masses’ between December 16 and 24.
The tradition seems to be one of many examples of how the Catholic religion in Mexico was adapted to make it easier for the indigenous people to understand and blend with their earlier beliefs. The Aztecs had a tradition of honoring their god Huitzilopochtli at the same time of year, coinciding with the winter solstice.
The Posada celebrations were originally held in the church but the custom spread. Later it was celebrated in haciendas, and then in family homes, gradually taking the form of the celebration as it is now practiced by the time of the 19th century. Now, neighborhood committees often …

The concept of “Holy Russia,” as noted, is still alive, though it is often conflated with Rússkiy mir (“Russian World”), a pernicious political doctrine that promotes Russia’s influence and control over all peoples and lands it believes—rightly or wrongly—belong to Russia’s historic patrimony.

The Myth of Holy Russia

Some Sobering Numbers
Before delving into the larger cultural questions surrounding the Russian Orthodox Church, it is helpful to take a brief look at some numbers. Though precise numbers are difficult to come by, the Russian Orthodox Church boasts of having 110 million members worldwide, with 95 million located within Russia. These numbers include various autonomous and self-governing local churches in Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, Ukraine, China, and Japan. The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), which is headquartered in New York, is also counted in these numbers, though it remains administratively distinct from the Russian Orthodox Church proper. All of these bodies are, to greater or less extent, under the omophorion (authority) of the Patriarch of Moscow, currently held by Kirill (Gundyayev).
Depending on which sources are believed, the “95 million” number may be more imaginative than real. According to the Russian-based Public Opinion Foundation, in 2024, 62% of Russian …

There appears to be a giant rift in today's Orthodox World.
Those who support the Gay agenda, and those who see it as Sin.
The Greek Orthodox are firmly allied with Rome in the acceptance and promotion of this unholy agenda.
The Moscow, Romanian, Jerusalem Orthodoxies see this Homosexual agenda as Flat out Sin.
Yes, the Russians are Communist, and that is a major stumbling block.
However, they along with others will not capitulate to the promotion of heresy.

The Door of Humility: Entering the Place Where Christ Was Born — Church of the Nativity
Bethlehem—whose name in Hebrew means “House of Bread”—holds a place of profound significance in the Christian world. It was here that Mary and Joseph found refuge in a stable, and where Mary gave birth to Jesus, ‘the Bread of Life’. Over this sacred grotto, the Church of the Nativity was built, transforming a humble place of divine intervention into one of Christianity’s most treasured pilgrimage sites. The Church of the Nativity is among the oldest continuously functioning churches in existence. It was originally commissioned in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, who identified the grotto as the true site of Christ’s birth. Dedicated in 339 AD, the first basilica drew pilgrims from across the Roman Empire. Although the original structure was destroyed, Byzantine Emperor Justinian rebuilt a grander version in the 6th century, parts of which remain today …More

Also, Wilhelm Reich, the cloudbusters, orgonite energy.. which I posted about, further below. It is not so bad here over in the UK, or SE, London..

We have nearly the same thing in Florida. Right now I see dark gray clouds with bits of light color blue and pink. But the blue looks cloudy. When the sun is out, it has sort of a film over it where you can't actually see the sun. It is dark and dreary outside. And it gets worse every day. DeSantos said they were going to look into and stop it. But what has he done so far? Nothing while it gets worse every week. They are allowing it because they are being paid to allow it. And deceiving the people into thinking they will be our hero's and stop it. No! They aren't going to stop anything the evil ones have planned for a very long time now. They are all on the same side. All working together.

Hanukkah Light in a Dark World - First Things

Before the Hamas war against Israel, the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, and yesterday’s shooting attack in Australia, I associated Hanukkah with triumph rather than despair. The eight-day festival, which began at sundown on December 14, was an opportunity to recognize Jewish perseverance and share Jewish light.
This year is different. While menorahs are ordinarily displayed outdoors in celebration, during times of danger the Talmud suggests kindling Hanukkah lights discreetly. Even without overt peril, mounting hostility toward Jews draws me inward and homeward. I prefer to stay indoors with my family, where the somber hymn of my childhood will echo more poignantly than the cheerful holiday prayer.
Like other winter holidays, Hanukkah occurs when daylight is lacking and darkness evokes faith. More than a solstice observance, however, Hanukkah is a celebration of Jewish distinctiveness and daring. In the second century B.C., enlightened Greeks sought to extinguish …

On December 14, a solemn Mass according to the ancient Ambrosian Rite was celebrated in the historic Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in Milan. This extraordinary liturgy followed the 1954 Ambrosian Missal. The Mass was celebrated by Monsignor Francesco Braschi, a long-time celebrant of the Ambrosian Rite, with the approval of the Archdiocese of Milan and the abbot of the basilica.

Saint of the Day: December 16th - Saint Ado
A.D. 875
Ado was born in the diocess of Sens, towards Gatinois, about the year 800, and was of one of the richest and most noble families of that country. It was the principal care of his religious parents to seek tutors, masters, and companions who should concur together by their maxims, example, interior spirit, and prudent and earnest instructions to form the morals of their son, and inspire into his soul the most tender and perfect sentiments of Christian piety. All this they happily found in the monastery of Ferrieres in Gatinois, at that time famous for learning and discipline. The pregnancy of his wit, the solidity of his judgment, his assiduity at his studies, and, above all, his humble obedience and docility, and his sincere piety, gained him the esteem and affections of the abbot Sigulph, and all his masters; and engaged them to redouble their care and attention in lending him every assistance to adorn his mind with all useful science …More
