"CERN Scientists Perform Satanic Ritual"

In certain circles (read: scientifically illiterate conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hat-wearing underground bunker-dwellers) speculation runs wild over the particle-smashing Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN has become the world's most notorious breeding ground for occultic scenarios.

Why? The best answer is CERN itself. Consider:

• The CERN campus features a huge statue of the Hindu "god of destruction" Shiva (aka "the lord of the dark"; Apollyon or Abaddon of Revelation 9:11 fame).
• CERN is built in the exact location as the ancient Apollo Temple.
• The CERN logo is 3 intertwined 6's (as in 666).
• Ahead of its launch, CERN scientists allegedly performed a bizarre "Dance of Destruction"
• And last, but certainly not least: a video depicting a "mock" ritual human sacrifice was filmed in front of the statue of Shiva, the god of destruction (again allegedly) performed by CERN scientists.

CERN released a statement admitting it was their campus where the video was filmed, "but without official permission or knowledge."

CERN, Europe's top physics lab and home of the Large Hadron Collider, understandably has tight security. No one gets on campus without an access badge.

Those who participated in the "mock" occult ritual must have had access badges--presumably scientists.

CERN's explanation? "CERN welcomes every year thousands of scientific users from all over the world and sometimes some of them let their humour go too far."

Okay...we can take a joke, but somebody better tell the CERN Director of Research, Sergio Berolucci because he wasn't laughing when he said: "The Large Hadron Collider could open a doorway to an extra dimension and out of this doorway might...come something."

'Something' like what? A troop of black-cloaked scientists doing the Dance of Destruction for the Hindu deity Shiva?

A wise man once said: "The angel of the bottomless pit mentioned in Revelation is demonic. The name of the angel in both Hebrew and Greek means "Destruction". - Len Wood, Ph.D.

"And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon." Revelation 9:11

"Russia Viewed As Rising Star"

According to The Jerusalem Post: "Russia is viewed as the rising military star in the region while the U.S. is perceived as a falling star."

The news that Russia and Iran had a "secret" deal to place Russia's strategic bombers and strike fighters on an airbase in Western Iran is seen as proof.

"Although Israeli and American intelligence communities knew in advance that Iran agreed to host Russian bombers on its soil, the two countries are puzzled by the development, but understand its strategic importance--not only to the Middle East, but globally."

Aimed at boosting their military cooperation, the secret deal marks a much larger strategy: to increase Russia's influence in the Middle East.

The Post article continues: "In that sense, Putin is taking advantage of the incoherent and hesitant U.S. foreign policy of President Barack Obama. It seems the U.S. is trying to detach itself from world conflicts, which may well result in a new version of isolationism."

With what other countries is Russia "enhancing its military cooperation?"

• China
• Egypt
• Saudi Arabia
• (and just last week)--Turkey

Israeli military officials believe it is clear "that Moscow is trying to create a wedge between the U.S. and its traditional allies."

"American allies--including Israel--understand the new Russian game and its true motives, but still feel they have no choice but to tacitly support it."

Why? Because they believe Russia has a future with up-side potential and the U.S. does not.

A wise woman once said: "God reveals a fascinating and detailed prophecy about a future war campaign against Israel in the book of Ezekiel. The war is known as the "Gog and Magog War" because the people of Magog and their leader, Gog, will lead the attack against Israel. Scripture clearly teaches that this war will be a turning point for Israel with regard to their relationship with God. The sobering, yet exciting aspect of this study is that for the first time since Ezekiel penned these prophecies, the countries that will gather against Israel have built an alliance in recent years. The prophetic puzzle pieces are now in place. It is just a matter of time, that is, God's timing before these prophecies find fulfillment." -- Amy Van Gerpen, Tracking Bible Prophecy

"Armageddon & The Election"

Dick Morris' new book, Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary, is the number three bestseller in the nation, according to The New York Times. 

"This may be the last election where the United States has a two-party system," warns Morris, best known as a former Clinton adviser and political strategist who has since 'gone rogue'.

"The 2016 election is truly America's Armageddon--the ultimate and decisive battle to save America, a fight to defeat Hillary Clinton and the forces seeking to flout our constitutional government and replace it with an all-powerful president backed-up by an activist judiciary that answers to no one."

(Besides being a run-on sentence, Morris' definition of armageddon flies wild regardless of which side of the political spectrum one leans...but we digress).

For the first time, reports DOWNTREND.com, the top three NYT Non-fiction Bestsellers are anti-Clinton books:
#2-Hillary's America by Dinesh D'Souza who warns: "We are on the brink of losing our country forever. After eight years of Obama, four years--or possibly eight years of Hillary Clinton as President of the United States would so utterly transform America as to make it unrecognizable."

#1-Crisis of Character by former Secret Service Agent Gary J. Byrne. A runaway bestseller by the man posted directly outside the Oval Office during Bill Clinton's reign. Needless to say, he had little good to tell us about the 'up-close-and-personal' Hillary.

One needn't be on the Trump-train to be concerned about the direction this election may take. According to a recent Reuters Poll, 20% of 'born-again Christians' plan to sit this election out.

Trump's net favorability rating among evangelicals is at minus -38%. Clinton's is at -61%.

The problem? The Senate, The House and, most importantly The Supreme Court appointments. Though understandable, it seems vital to resist the temptation to vote with our feet because, while Dick Morris' characterization of a Clinton win as 'Armageddon' may be over-the-top, Dinesh D'Souza's assessment may not be.

"Satanic Temple Targets Elementary Schools"

While our children are chasing after Pokemon Go, Satan is busy chasing after our children.

That's right folks. The Satanic Temple has decided to spread their message in public elementary after-school programs.

"We are sure that the school districts we've approached are well aware that they are not at liberty to deny us use of their facilities," Satanist Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves said.

In a statement on their website, the satanists maintain they're entitled to the same accommodations as the 'Good News Club', a Christian organization.

Self-described as "an atheistic religious organization that uses the symbol of Satan to inspire civil justice", the Satanic Temple hopes to counter the Christian groups operating after-school activities in public schools.

'After School Satan' aims to mimic the 'Good News Club', but with a very "different focus."

"It's important that children be given an opportunity to realize that the evangelical materials now 'creeping' into their schools are representative of but one religious opinion amongst many," Greaves said.

An example of 'After School Satan' materials? The Satanic Children's Big Book of Activities featuring cartoon kids wearing goat head and pentagram tee-shirts.

'After School Satan' will make it's first appearance at Vista Elementary School in Taylorsville, Utah.

According to Granite School District spokesperson Ben Horsley, "Any organization can rent our facilities after school hours as long as they pay the fee and aren't doing anything illegal."

'After School Satan' has no plans to stop in Utah. They select schools near existing Satanic Temples.

The problem? Satanic Temples exist pretty much everywhere.

A wise man once said: "The evil day of Ephesians 6:13 is taken by some to refer to the end times when the Evil One will launch a ferocious campaign against Christ and His followers. Our real battle is not with human cultists, false religionists, atheists, or pseudo-Christians, but with the demonic being working in them." -- Richard Patterson, Ph.D

"But Jesus said, "Let the children come to Me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."" Matthew 19:14
