“Just yesterday I had come across information about Albert Pike and Freemasonry,” wrote a viewer named Lilian Franklin. “Considering the marches, you might consider doing a story on him and his vision of three world wars culminating in a one-world Luciferian religion.” (Pike, a prominent Freemason during the Confederacy, died in 1891. We’ll have a story on him shortly. Stay tuned.) 

The marches Franklin refers to were apparently planned for last Sunday by card-carrying, ritual-doing satanists. You can see the alleged schedule below. We can’t tell as yet how many actually came about.

Whatever did or didn’t materialize, interesting it is to see the push for a single world government so transparently backed by forces of evil, which of course so many of us conservative Catholics have long alleged or feared. It doesn’t get more blatant than “luciferians.” Evil is coming out of the woodwork (perhaps even in the way of a phantomlike virus).

The rationale for concern, when it comes to globalism, is simple: if the world falls into the thrall of a single agency, organization, union, or other entity, the world lends itself to an agency or entity — whether governing body or leader — that, if evil, could boldly persecute Christians (among other atrocities).

It is the scenario that has been long warned about, often tied with concerns about “a” or “the” antichrist. (The Bible uses “antichrist” both in the singular and the plural in the only places it uses that term at all: 1 John and 2 John, especially 1 John (2:18): “Children, it is the final hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the final hour.”)

Through the long walk of history, then, there are or have been multiple “antichrists.” One thinks of Roman tyrants and men such as Hitler. But would a world government, a new world order in the design of nefarious forces, usher in “the” antichrist (a specific person)? Would it be the spirit of anti-christ or the personage of anti-christ? That is the question.

Whatever the case, the current world situation is potentially lending the rationale for establishment of just such global hegemony — for example, to control faltering economies; solve ecological crises; rein in pandemics; or halt wars.

While the Masons used to be the chief concern, their numbers have demonstrably and in some cases drastically dwindled over the past one hundred years and they have been largely been replaced by New Agers, wiccans, humanists, psychics, atheists, international powerbrokers and financiers (see Bohemia Grove), and actual satanists who are of the same spirit as Masons — but more openly evil.  

The focus needs to be not on discounting the issues that could be used by the enemy to unite the world (pandemic, ecology, economy), but in solving such issues while maintaining the sovereignty of nations.

Unity is in line with Christ; division is of the devil.

But the wrong kind of unity — unity without Christ at the head — is indeed highly dangerous and certainly could pave the way for what one prophecy calls that “personage of evil.”

We’re seeing manifestations of the occult in many places, usually subtle and below the radar — not as flagrant as Luciferian proclamations but carrying the wrong spirit nonetheless. There’s a statue [above, left] of “Billiken,” an occultic good luck charm on display, among other places, at a Catholic school. Wrote a viewer regarding this: “Have you seen the mascot at Jesuit St. Louis University? It looks like a cross between the Buddha and a naked demon baby. The university’s website says, ‘Rub his belly for good luck.'”

The point: there are many “little” ways, from yoga to good-luck charms, that evil can enter under the radar.

Meanwhile, the rise of blatant satanism is a huge issue that must be confronted.

Just Friday Pope Francis declared Sister Maria Laura Mainetti, an Italian religious sister killed by three teenage girls in a Satanic sacrifice, a martyr for the Catholic faith. That occurred this century (2000).

Satanism seeks to quash us.

Christian Lives Matter.

A caveat: beware of paranoia and conspiracism, so rampant these days.

There are conspiracy theories that are cause for real concern.

There are conspiracy theories that are less plausible.

There are conspiracy theories that are absurd.

This one has the earmarks of the first: real concern.

Is it time to protest at places where satanists are erecting statues, holding public rituals, or reciting the opening prayer at government meetings, in addition to protesting at abortion clinics? Where exactly is their boldness heading?
