June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but one would never guess that judging from events unfolding in this present moment. On the contrary, an impious mankind is teetering on the brink of World War III as foreseen in a terrible vision by Sister Agnes Sasagawa at Akita, Japan in 1973. In that vision Our Blessed Mother predicted, “if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priest nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.” The world just inched closer to fulfillment of this terrifying prophecy with the Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bomber fleet and the unprovoked Israeli attack on an unsuspecting Iran in clear violation of international law. Fire is now falling from the skies over Tel Aviv, Tehran, and even Jerusalem but it could get much worse.

The American/Israeli/NATO Deep State operatives simply cannot tolerate peace, proven once again by last Friday’s treacherous and deceitful sneak attack on the sovereign Iranian nation, even in the midst of ongoing negotiations with the Trump White House. The whole world is fully aware that it was American bombs and missiles which rained down without warning on Iran, unleashed by our Israeli ‘mad dog’ ally, Benjamin Netanyahu, whose illegal and genocidal policies over the past 21 months have all but turned Israel into an international pariah state. Nonetheless Netanyahu’s reckless acts of aggression appear designed to prolong his own political survival. Bibi, unpopular even among his own people, seems perfectly willing to ignite World War III to maintain his grip on power. He may already have done so with the tacit approval and cooperation of a pliant White House under the malodorous spell of radical Zionism.

Friday’s unprovoked attack by Israel not only targeted military sites but civilian nuclear facilities (thus risking airborne radioactive contamination) and ordinary civilians as well, including the killing of one of Iran’s negotiating team who was specifically targeted it would seem to send a clear message of Israel’s contempt for any diplomatic exchange. This was Pearl Harbor in reverse, a day of infamy and treachery which can only bring shame and discredit to our great nation in the eyes of the world. To make matters worse, President Trump then suggested that this represents a new style of ‘diplomacy at gunpoint,’ by callously Tweeting that Iran had the option of either submitting to his terms or “we will KILL you.” This is hardly the language of true negotiation or respectful dialogue but that of bullying, intimidation, and ultimatums. “Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left.”

It would seem that Trump’s quandary is that having been elected on the promise of restoring peace and ending senseless wars, he is now being goaded by the trillion dollar Neo-con Deep State war machine which has grown fat on the blood and bones of countless Ukrainians, Russians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Afghans, Syrians. Apparently it is now Iran’s turn to be pulverized for profit. This Western powers and globalist Neo-con cabal constitutes a virtual rogue government within the actual duly elected government, a state within the state virtually impervious to any Constitutional accountability or restraint. This insidious cabal penetrates our entire security and intelligence infrastructure not to mention much of the Pentagon. It consists of pyromaniacs like Lindsay Graham, Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, Tom Cotton, Bibi Netanyahu, and other like minds who are perfectly willing to set the whole world ablaze in order to satisfy their own imperial ambitions.

America, the onetime arsenal of peace and democracy, has reverted, sad as it may be, to the very sort of demagoguery that it once condemned. We are now seen to be the world’s chief war monger, instigating forever wars from Lybia, Iraq, and Afghanistan into Ukraine, Somalia, and now Iran. Germany in the 1930 was not nearly half as aggressive as the “peace loving” American Republic has proven itself to be over the past 30 years. Little did we realize that the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 was only the beginning of expanded military adventurism ~ an American ‘pax Romana’ ~ dreamed up by Neo-cons determined to extend American hegemony under the guise of ‘liberal democracy’ to the world at large, whether such ‘democracy’ was desired or not. Under this new ‘American Imperium’ the right of national self-determination was henceforth to be limited to those peoples who agreed with our own parochial view of governance. The only trouble with this brand of ‘liberal democracy’ is that by being force-fed to other peoples and cultures it becomes neither liberal nor democratic. So the unfortunate citizens of Ukraine discovered to their dismay after 2014 when it was imposed upon them by the American CIA and Deep State Neo-cons.

As a result, we are now confronting an ever more chaotic world made far more dangerous by a technological arms race that has thrown conventional morality out the window. Cyber warfare attacking civilian power grids and water supplies, attack drones dispatched to assassinate civilians in neighboring countries, smart bombs and exploding cell phones that kill remotely and indiscriminately. AI is being utilized to assess who might be targeted and eliminated as perhaps ‘potential threats,’ though not necessarily actual or imminent ones (the same logic used by Israel to justify unprovoked aggression against Iran or even ordinary West Bank Palestinians). The modern War Industrial Complex continues to produce ever more sophisticated intelligence spyware which can be harnessed with AI to facilitate random exterminations and assassinations. Ordinary humanity has no real defense against this ubiquitous killing apparatus controlled by governments and tech-elites who control such demonic devices. We are now forced to live on the brink of annihilation in a dystopian world that even George Orwell would be aghast to have imagined.

Since Fatima and well before, Our Blessed Mother has warned humanity that war is a punishment from God for its sins. Yet it is a punishment the the Almighty allows us to inflict upon ourselves, “for in those days people will say to the mountains ‘fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘cover us.'” Lk 23:30 ) It is the rejection of Christ as our true king by a formerly Christian West which has precipitated the calamity that we now face. Over the past century Western societies have been all too busy twisting truth into a pretzel, undermining the family, destroying the bond of marriage, rejecting the primacy of God, mocking the Ten Commandments, and destroying countless millions of unborn children ~ all in the name of a ‘freedom’ which amounts to moral anarchy.

The only truth the West now recognizes is power -might makes right – which ultimately means that violence and war become man’s sole answer to any problem. In short, we have reverted to the law of the jungle, but with far more powerful tools of destruction than spears and arrows. With this sophisticated weaponry we seem destined to inflict God’s wrath for our wretched impiety upon ourselves, all because we have blinded ourselves to the truth. Either Christ must reign on earth and in the hearts of men or His enemy, Satan, will fill the void. The only true peace and freedom can be found in serving the one true Sovereign Lord who is Christ, our king. Our leaders, including President Trump, have yet to fully realize and appreciate this reality and so they continue to pull humanity along and down that slippery slope which leads to Armageddon.
