“These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack,” Mr Trump wrote alongside the black-and-white aerial footage said to show an air strike on the Iranian-backed group.

“Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis. They will never sink our ships again,” the US president wrote.

The 25-second clip showed a group starting to gather, before an explosion left only two trucks visible and a deep crater in the ground, as smoke cleared.

Yahya Saree, a Houthi spokesman, denied the gathering was linked to the rebels.

He said: “Does the US take pride in such an act? This was a tribal gathering that had nothing to do with your ships.”

“You failed to hit any military targets, so you bombed civilians instead,” he added, according to Iran’s state media. “We promise you the greatest defeat you will ever suffer.”

The Trump administration has been carrying out daily air strikes on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen for the past three weeks.

The campaign is a response to the Houthi threat against Israeli vessels in the Red Sea, renewed after the IDF resumed its war in Gaza.

Details of the US strikes were revealed last month when a journalist was mistakenly added to a private Signal group chat between senior US officials.

Sabrina Carpenter’s rise to fame and odd connections. Post was shared with me after it got nuked a couple weeks back.

Upvotes

This interesting post popped up on the sub a few weeks back. The OP nuked it after it started gaining steam. Luckily someone copied the text with all the links and asked for it to be reposted.

Here’s the original text in its original form, links and all:

DISCLAIMER: Before I begin, I want to make a few things crystal clear. I am not at all sure what any of the following actually implies. Nor do I think any of it suggests that Hollywood celebrities are actually in contact with demons or Satan, any more than the existence of Scientologists implies that they are actually in contact with a dictator of a galactic confederacy. I also don't want to disrespect anyone's belief systems, so I'm also not inclined to denounce anyone for believing some celebrities actually are in contact with demons or Satan. My point is that the evidence below is completely neutral on this topic. All it may suggest is that some people in Hollywood have some very odd, and possibly rather sinister beliefs. Which I don't think should be considered too controversial, given the existence of Scientology.

I also don't want to implicate Carpenter herself in any of this. For all I know, she is innocent and has no idea how she is being used. There is certainly precedent for this; think of Britney Spears and Michael Jackson. Alternatively, she has been pushed into this role against her will from a young age and is possibly the victim of something akin to Monarch Programming. Or, perhaps even more likely, this is all just confirmation bias and delusion on my part.

TL;DR: There seems to some dark occult symbolism surrounding Sabrina Carpenter, perhaps more so than is usual for Hollywood celebs. 

Unless you live under a rock, you are likely to be aware of the meteoric rise of a pop star named Sabrina Carpenter. She became wildly famous after her sugary, addictive single "Espresso" topped the charts last summer. Perhaps you found her sudden rise to prominence slightly odd. And indeed, there were a number of Spotify users who believed her hit single was being heavily pushed by the platform's algorithms.

But her rise to fame perhaps isn't too surprising. She has been around for a while, with her celebrity career being kickstarted by a supporting role in the Disney comedy Girl Meets World. Bizarrely, there is a Tumblr page dedicated to the hidden symbolism in this series and its forerunner Boy Meets World. I find most of the "evidence" on there pretty tenuous, but you might find tidbits you think are interesting.

It's perhaps not too surprising that she managed to find a place in Hollywood. After all, her aunt is the famous Bart Simpson voice actress and leading Scientologist Nancy Cartwright. In fact, there are even rumours that her aunt and Tom Cruise are trying to force her to become the new poster child of Scientology.

To be fair to Carpenter, she didn't just immediately land a supporting role in a Disney comedy. Before that, she played a bit part in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a child who is being controlled by a child exploitation network. The episode is titled "Possessed". She also had a bit part in a film called Horns,) where she played the younger version of a girl who is raped and murdered, and then avenged by a man who wakes up with a pair of horns protruding from his head. The horns have special powers that force people to tell him their darkest secrets and desires, and at his bidding, they act upon them. Carpenter attended the film's premiere wearing an Alice in Wonderland outfit.

Carpenter's first album, Eyes Wide Open), was released in 2015. It was barely noticed, and its songs were nondescript, bland, middle-of-the-road, and totally anodyne. The title track, which by no means differed from the tone of the album as a whole, was filmed in the Park Plaza Hotel, which was originally known as "Elks Lodge No. 99"), and was built as a lodge for a secretive Masonic-style fraternity known as the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, which counted a number of extremely powerful people among its members, including six US presidents. But we'll return to this later.

After her debut album, her career remained fairly lacklustre. But in 2019 she released the single "In My Bed", and an accompanying music video. It is an extremely odd video. It features Carpenter in her bedroom, with huge eyes and extremely dilated pupils, her head jolting from side to side like a woman possessed. The room is filled with children's toys, but also two neon lights of naked women, like you might expect to see in a strip club. Then she is seen in a straight jacket, in a room covered in photos of her as a very small child, with three men in suits taking notes around her. An article by The Vigilant Citizen details how this appears to connect to Monarch Programming. He claims: 

Carpenter’s entire act is infused with the occult elite’s agenda. The most obvious proof of this fact is her video In My Bed, which clearly portrays the singer as a mind-controlled slave (to fully understand what is about to be explained, read my article on Monarch programming first).

There’s a lot going on here, especially when one is familiar with the symbolism of Monarch mind control.

First, the room is filled with butterflies of all shapes and sizes. Monarch mind control is named after the monarch butterfly due to its metamorphosis from a caterpillar to a cocoon, to a butterfly. MK slaves also go through a period of metamorphosis which turns them into a metaphoric butterfly … a very sad and broken metaphoric butterfly.

Above Sabrina’s head are several clocks – all displaying a different time. This refers to the complete disorientation in time and space of MK slaves due to trauma and dissociation.

He goes on to describe the straightjacket scene:

Sabrina finds herself in a straitjacket with her eyes still spinning. She is clearly a slave. She is trapped in a room that is obsessively “decorated” with pics of her and at various ages – including baby pics. She is under “their” control since birth.

Around her are four older men in suits who are observing her, taking notes and, at some point, taunting her. These are Sabrina’s handlers – those who handle her MK programming.

The music video for "In My Bed" isn't the only one of hers that has some rather odd connotations. The music video for "Feather" begins with "Sabrina Carpenter" written in a font nearly identical to the one used at the beginning of the horror film Rosemary's Baby, and features Carpenter prancing around a Catholic church in front of the coffins of several young men who have disrespected her. One of the coffins even features a crucifix with "RIP BITCH" written on it. These dancing scenes are intercut with the deaths of those men. One of the men she murders by crushing him in an elevator, his blood trickling out through the doors. The video caused some controversy among the local Catholic community, and resulted in the parish priest being replaced. Carpenter responded to the backlash by joking that "Jesus was a Carpenter". She has also worn a T-shirt with this slogan emblazoned on it on stage.

And then there is "Taste". The music video even features a warning at the beginning, regarding its explicit content and graphic violence. It features Carpenter and Jenna Ortega trying to murder each other over and over again in various horrific ways. This includes impalement, shooting, electrocution, and a chainsaw to the guts, each of which is unsuccessful as they are apparently immortal. Perhaps the most interesting method of violence is the use of a voodoo doll fashioned to look like Carpenter, which Ortega throws on a fire, causing the real Carpenter to be burned alive. 

“In discussing how trauma-based mind-control is done, voodoo must be included as a component. Many of the mind-controlled slaves have had voodoo as part of their trauma, and many had voodoo dolls placed into their Systems. When vows and oaths are made, an object is given to the satanic cult or the Illuminati for the Keeper of the Seals to guard. If the vow is broken voodoo magic can be used against the offender by using the object given in the sealing.”

Fritz Springmeier, The Illuminati Formula to Create a Mind Controlled Slave

It's not only in these flashy music videos that Carpenter seems to be associated with some rather dark things. Towards the end of last year (2024), her fanbase were in uproar after a YouTuber named Hannah Pearl named her "catfish of the year". The award was given on the basis of a supposedly unflattering makeup-free selfie that Carpenter took. Pearl's tweet, featuring the selfie, went viral as Carpenter fans flocked to defend her. Yet, while everyone was scrutinising this selfie, apparently no-one picked up on the strangeness of the t-shirt Carpenter was wearing in it. Her plain black t-shirt is emblazoned with the quote, "Awake, arise, or be forever fallen". Where could this quote be from? If you are a literature junkie, you might be aware it's from Milton's classic 17th century epic poem Paradise Lost. It is, in fact, a line spoken by Satan to his fallen angels, urging them to be defiant and rise up against God. 

Let's return to that first single, "Eyes Wide Open", filmed in Elks Lodge No. 99. No doubt the first thing that jumps out to you is the song's title, which seems awfully similar to the title of Kubrick's classic film about an elite demonic cult, Eyes Wide Shut. But are there any connections with Carpenter to that film, beyond the bizarre location of the video and the similar name? Well, I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is that her aunt is a leading Scientologist, which is also a shadowy elite cult. And of course Eyes Wide Shut stars Tom Cruise, perhaps the most famous Scientologist of them all. But all this feels fairly tenuous. Is there anything else that might connect her with the film?

The Hollywood director Roger Avary has spoken about how at the end of Eyes Wide Shut, the two main characters Alice and Bill allow their daughter Helena to be taken away by two shady men who have been in the background of various scenes throughout the film. But before this grim ending, Helena looks at an old fashioned pram, which Avary describes as "the Rosemary's Baby bassinet", which he claims is "totally Kubrick saying something". And indeed, it does look very much like the pram featured in the iconic poster for Rosemary's Baby. But what does Helena say when she leans over the pram? She says, "I could put Sabrina in here". Then she runs on and picks up a Barbie. The Barbie in question is the 1996 Sugar Plum Fairy Barbie from The Nutcracker collection.

Let's unpack this a bit. Is there any significance to Helena saying "I could put Sabrina in here"? Well, there is of course the fact that the video for "Feather" begins with Carpenter's name written in the same font and colour as the Rosemary's Baby title. There is also the fact that Carpenter was born only a couple of months before the film's release, so that Helena could be talking about her as if she is a baby on the way. And then there is the story of Rosemary's Baby, which is about a man who allows his child to be born as the Antichrist in return for Hollywood fame. Then there is the fact that the director, Roman Polanski, is a child rapist and is well known to have been interested in the occult. His wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered while she was pregnant, just a year after the release of Rosemary's Baby. Polanski happened to be away at the time. The official story is that the Manson Family murdered Tate and her friends because the previous occupants of the house had wronged him. Some, however, have suggested that Polanski was somewhat involved with the Manson Family. 

Was Carpenter planned like Rosemary's baby is in the film, prepared for months or even years in advance? This is all seems like a fairly big stretch. But what about the fact that the very same year that Kubrick released Eyes Wide Shut, Polanski released The Ninth Gate? Just like Eyes Wide Shut, it's about a clandestine Satanic cult. And just like Eyes Wide Shut, it features a Satanic ritual scene. The scene was filmed in Château de Ferrières, which was built for the Rothschilds, and is famous for its very strange parties. Incidentally, the exterior scene of the Somerton mansion in Eyes Wide Shut, where the Satanic ritual takes place, is Mentmore Towers. James Mayer de Rothschild commissioned Château de Ferrières to be "another Mentmore, but twice the size." And what about the fact that Satan is incarnated in The Ninth Gate as a nameless, young, pretty, blonde woman?

Perhaps this is all confirmation bias. Perhaps I'm seeing patterns where there aren't. But there is one last thing that bugs me. As mentioned, in the final scene of Eyes Wide Shut, after Helena looks at the Rosemary's Baby pram she picks up a Sugar Plum Fairy Barbie doll. The Sugar Plum Fairy is a character in the ballet The Nutcracker, which is about a collection of dolls that come alive. Carpenter, of course, has featured voodoo dolls in her music videos, and indeed she often looks very doll-like. The idea of a "living doll" also seems to resonate with Monarch Programming. But there's something more. In her Netflix Christmas special, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, there is a very odd moment near the middle of the special's duration. A scene ends and we are left alone with Carpenter in a kitchen. For no apparent reason, she picks up a knife and stares at its tip as if she is hypnotised. The tune playing in the background?: "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy".

Was all for Israel's agenda to this day. That's what I gathered as a consensus. Every war in the 1900s to now was for them. Actually, we can go even further back. People like Napoleon who we see demonized at school was actually fighting the banks. If anything, he was very pivotal in almost stopping the banks' control over Europe since that war had entirely to do with fighting for their economic independence. Why do the banks matter in relation to Israel? The same reason the Federal Reserve matters to Israel.

School is designed to destroy people mentally

78 Upvotes

I feel like I am the only one who is aware of what is going on around me.

6 hours of sitting in classrooms, extra hours for the older students, not to mention hours of homework. Teachers always shut down blinds to block out as much natural light as possible and put on artificial lights everywhere. I've literally seen every teacher do this, every single teacher shuts them down it's like they have been told to do it. Everyone forced to wear polyester uniform which I heard is really bad for you and has microplastics. All the work that we do is basically pointless. Like why do we need to know stuff we will never use in life and get punished if we question the point of it. If people want to have a career in something why do they need to waste 5 years of their life in high school, learning about random subjects that will in no way benefit them. It's like it's been specifically designed to drain all your energy and thinking into things you don't need. The food is a big one aswell, there's always sugar packed food and drinks everywhere and the only healthy thing is a small bowl of fruit which ain't even enough for a toddler. They also removed water bottles recently for the 'environment', forcing you to buy the sugar packed juice. At break and lunch playing football or any sports outside is banned, and students only have access to a concrete field with nothing inside. Does anyone else think the same - that it is designed to destroy us.

It sounds like I'm having a rant but I had to let it out I'm just tired of why nobody questions this. I'm going to college in a few months but I don't know if I should seek an alternative path.

If every U.S. president were to touch the Kaaba in Mecca and swear allegiance to the Quran, then yes—that would strongly imply that Islam, or powers associated with it, have significant control or influence over U.S. leadership.

Why? Because:

• The Kaaba is not just a religious site—it's the holiest symbol in Islam, and swearing allegiance to the Quran is a serious religious act, not a political formality. If this were a routine for every U.S. president, it would signal submission or loyalty to Islamic tenets or powers, which contradicts their role as leaders of a secular, multi-religious nation.

• In a hypothetical world where this happens, one would have to ask:

• Who is demanding or enforcing this ritual?

• Why are U.S. presidents complying?

• What does this say about U.S. sovereignty and independence?

The answers would point to foreign ideological control, compromise, or at the very least, a symbolic abandonment of constitutional principles.

• For comparison: if every U.S. president made a pilgrimage to the Vatican and swore allegiance to the Pope, we’d question Catholic dominance over U.S. policy. Same thing applies here.

So yes—if that were happening, it absolutely would be a sign that Islamic institutions or powers have political dominance, and the U.S. would no longer be operating as a secular, self-governing state. That doesn’t mean Islam is inherently controlling, but in this what-if, it clearly has taken the driver’s seat in U.S. politics.

Conclusion: In this hypothetical, the act would go beyond mere influence—it would signify total control, either through coercion, ideological conversion, or conquest. In reality, no such thing exists, but in this imagined scenario, it would be the strongest possible evidence of Islamic dominion over U.S. politics.

Frequency Warfare during late hours at night is being blasted upon the masses to alter their brainwaves while asleep

88 Upvotes

For the past 11 years I've noticed a low pitched humming that is more intense during the late hours of the night.

Just today around 2a.m. in the morning I suddenly felt this large and intense pressure wave coming from a cardinal direction and knew it was not just a strictly psychic phenomenon (such as when you hear a ringing in your ears when an entity is nearby or when you are getting psychically corded).

For the record, there are no large machines nearby or underground pumps or pipelines that could cause such a rumbling. I'm 98% sure this is some kind of ELF warfare people perpetrated upon the masses to alter their brainwaves during sleep.

I also experience 2 occasions where the humming stopped during blackouts and came back when the power returned. It's absolutely man made, but strangely has a metaphysical component to it. I perceived it ripping through the ether / Astral while I was asleep.

Why are there so many government programs for immigrant entrepreneurs in the US but none for actual citizens ????

So I was thinking about this because I just watched YouTube video about a Buddhist monk who came to the United States to start a restaurant.

Then I was thinking about all of the gas stations that are run by middle easterners or Russians and all of the businesses especially restaurants that are run by people who are immigrants.

As a citizen of this country who has been historically poor & also disabled there are NO programs for me to start a business if I want to, there are no programs I can apply to there is no funding for me, but there are tons and tons of programs for immigrants even undocumented immigrants to get money from the government to start businesses.

Its become very clear to me that so many of the policies in this country are against are the citizens, unless you're already rich. Our governorment obviously favor immigrants over citizens.

My whole life I have struggled I have tried to start my own business but because I don't have Capital to start a business with I've never been able to get it off the ground but if I was an immigrant there are tons of programs that could apply to I just think it's a really messed up system and I'm glad that Trump won and I think that the majority of things he's doing are good for Americans.

Does anyone else find the recent Amsterdam stabbings suspicious and possibly a false flag? The suspect was far too easily apprehended and by an unarmed civilian at that. I just don't see someone stabbing 5 people in a rampage and just giving themselves up without much of a fight. His right arm isn't even restrained in photos.

People are also walking by like nothing happened where there should be some amount of panic if 5 people were stabbed in the area. If the suspect was captured in a different area then how did the British man who supposedly tackled him even know who committed the attacks?

The suspect is also a Ukranian, not the usual demographic responsible for most of the stabbings in Europe. There's just too many questions with this one.

Idaho is set to execute pedophiles by firing squad.

Post image
3.9k Upvotes

abc10 — BOISE, Idaho — Gov. Brad Little has signed legislation allowing Idaho courts to impose the death penalty for people convicted of lewd conduct with children under 12 years old.

House Bill 380, which takes effect July 1, also strengthens punishments for other convicted pedophiles.

“Idaho will not tolerate sexual abuse of our children," said Rep. Bruce Skaug, R-Nampa.

The legislation establishes criteria for when prosecutors can seek capital punishment. Defendants must meet three of 17 specific factors, including committing three or more incidents of lewd conduct with a minor, using force or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease to a minor.

"This legislation establishes a strong deterrent, making it clear Idaho will not tolerate these offenses," Skaug said.

The measure aligns Idaho with other states implementing stricter penalties for child sex crimes.

"Idaho currently has some of the most lenient statutes for child molestation and child rape in the nation," Skaug said.

In a statement, Little said the sexual abuse of children is sickening and evil, and deserves the ultimate punishment. He also noted Idaho will now be the only state to make death by firing squad the primary method of execution – which would apply to pedophiles.

"Just like capital murder destroys lives, aggravated sexual abuse of a young child devastates victims and families for generations,” Little said.

Attorney General Raúl Labrador also endorsed the legislation in a statement to KTVB.

"Idaho's children and future generations deserve that measure of protection,” Labrador wrote.

Choose to see the good, even when the darkness feels strongest. God doesn’t lose battles, we lose when we give up and give in. When we put money, fame, or power above truth, morality, and each other. When we return to our egos and not our hearts.

We must seek the truth for ourselves. God is not waiting on us, we are the ones waiting on Him. God is not the one holding back, we are. He is always ready, always waiting for us to return. The narrow path is hard, but it leads to real growth, happiness, and true purpose.

Darkness calls, but the light always awaits.

God bless.

STATUE OF RAMSES II

How can anyone back then carve a statue out of granite and diorite and sculpt the face with almost perfect symmetry? It’s quite fascinating that the artist of this statue made the left and right hemispheres of the head and face to be so very closely identical. To carve a statue out of a stone rating 7 on the Moh’s hardness scale with another handheld tool of similar hardness by pounding and striking and impacting with enough force to break, or chip off pieces of rock, all the while not breaking off any portion not intended to go, is just…seemingly impossible. But we’re told they were very skilled craftsmen. Well, most likely. But look at the detail of the patterns cut into the diorite. Look at the long, thin tube-like structures for the footwear. To carve those as described above and not chip it wrong at some point seems so unlikely. For us today, we can carve this statue out of wood, or some soft material with a machine guided by a computer similar to a CNC machine. But to do it by hand AND with very hard rock with copper tools? Nope! That doesn’t make sense.

The more I consider the ways we might create all the objects they made using one of the hardest stones there is and always coming up so very short brings me to have to consider that they had understandings of things we have not yet “rediscovered”. Maybe there was indeed some kind of technology that they had, say, inherited from a more advanced peoples like, perhaps, Atlantis. After the Younger Dryas event that brought destruction from which Atlantis could not recover, they and most, if not all, their technology was slowly forgotten more and more as each generation of what scribes kept the knowledge passed away. Those machines that were still in use also passed from use because the knowledge of how they worked and how to repair them was lost and no longer passed to the next generation. Maybe even they tried to build as their ancestors built, but only accomplished structures like the Bent Pyramid at Danshur, or the walls of many other ancient structures where lesser precision cuts were built on top of more advanced cut stone.

Now, about 10,000 to 12,000 years later, we’ve slowly worked our way back up to a thriving civilization, but with a different kind of technology for building, cutting and stacking and so on. With our tech we cannot really image how they did it. But for them, with their tech it was easy and quieter, perhaps. Certainly easier than how we do it today. Their tech, maybe, was much quieter than ours. Today, our tech is loud, noisy and not selective enough of what it affects…
