Wall Street & Bolshevik revolution - Anthony C. Sutton


A brilliant interview with one of the greatest researchers ever, Professor Antony Sutton, the author of Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street and The Rise of Hitler, where he shows how bankers, businessmen and politicians in the west supported and financed both the communist and the Nazis, all according to their Hegelian dialectic plan for world control.

Vax attacks: the new mRNA coronavirus vaccines will likely cause immune cells to attack placenta cells, causing female infertility, miscarriage or birth defects


Two brave doctors, Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg and Dr. Michael Yeadon, have issued a motion for administrative and regulatory action to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) regarding the new mRNA coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech. They warn that the vaccines can attack placenta cells, causing female infertility. The doctors petition for regulatory action that requires confirmation of efficacy end points. The doctors are petitioning the EMA for a stay-of-action, halting the emergency approval of the new vaccines until the companies can correct the study design to ensure covid-19 diagnosis/confirmation of data end points is true, and not based on mere, nonspecific symptoms and false positive high cycle PCR tests.

Former salesman for vaccine maker Merck & Co. wouldn’t vaccinate his son


"If you believe what you are told by the AMA and the CDC and you are doctor, you are not doing enough research."

In 1991 Scott Cooper and his wife researched vaccine safety and efficacy, determined vaccines are NOT safe or effective, and refused to vaccinate their son. Interestingly, their son was much healthier than his vaccinated peers throughout childhood. At the time, Scott worked as a sales rep for Merck & Co., a large vaccine manufacturer, and he had dived deep into researching vaccines and the risk associated with vaccination. His Pediatrician was befuddled that Scott would not vaccinate, especially because he worked for a large vaccine manufacturer! His son continues to be healthy, and Scott and his wife have no regrets about not vaccinating their son.

Stamping out the Beatles: attacks on John & George


Q: “In Detroit, there’s people handing out car stickers saying, ‘Stamp Out The Beatles.’”
Paul: “Yeah well, we’re bringing out a Stamp Out Detroit campaign.”

Press Conference, February 7, 1964, JFK Airport

Some may think it far-fetched that Paul McCartney could have been killed and replaced. However, if one considers that two other Beatles were attacked and one killed, then perhaps it does not seem so unbelievable.

John Lennon

John Lennon was assassinated on December 8, 1980 by Mark David Chapman (MDC). Fenton Bresler’s book, “The Murder of John Lennon,” basically concludes the CIA killed John w/ a mind-controlled Manchurian assassin (MDC). He thought it was a public execution b/c the new Reagan admin was worried about his becoming active again. John was murdered right after the Playboy interview where he talked about TPTB using LSD to control people.

Was MDC an obsessed fan? That’s a pretty obsessed fan to fly from Hawaii to NY 2 times to kill a rock star (it didn’t happen the 1st time). Then, after he shot John, he just sat & waited for the police w/ “The Catcher in the Rye.” MDC didn’t have a very good job, but apparently, a lot of cash. I’m sensing there was an intell connection, especially since MDC spent time in Beirut.

Mark-David Chapman chose to plead not guilty due to following the direction of his voices.. His attorney J. .Marks, punctuated the plea “by reason of insanity.” Chapman testified “I can hear their thoughts, I can hear them talking, but not from the outside, from the inside.” Not one of the three psychiatrists at the trial explored the possibility of Mind-Control. In 1977 Chapman lost his fundamentalist religion and became a Satanist...

At 19, 1n 1975,Chapman signed onto the YMCA, (international camp counselor program) and was sent to Beirut where he allegedly received instructions in lethal arts at the CIA training camp school of terror. (there was a known “experiment in Mind Control unit” for the army in Lebanon.). In 1980 he surfaced in New York, and mailed a letter to an Italian address. The Dakota (residence of the Lennon’s) was given as a return address. There was a reference to his “mission” in N.Y. It was returned to New York, the address not found in Italy, where it sat for three years in the dead letter bin, and finally delivered to the Dakota. Yoko Ono glanced at the letter and dropped it in her deranged file. In 1983, head of security, Mahoney, found the letter. This was evidence of premeditated murder and conspiracy. The letter vanished and reappeared slightly altered, the post-date now was 1981. The “mission” statement was missing...

Elliot Mintz, friend of Sal Mineo, was instrumental in exposing “Project Walrus” as a conspiracy regarding Lennon. He had been Lennon’s chum too and publicist since 1971 Mintz recalls that some of Yoko body guards were at the time New York Police officers.. It is very difficult for a private citizen to legally possess a weapon in New York. The people who can are off duty officers. It is thus, a common celebrity arrangement. There were many files with missing contents at Yoko’s apt. after Lennon was killed. Listening devices were planted at the Dakota and once swept clean would reappear…

After John’s murder the first promoting of Project Walrus was the ruining of his reputation. John had known he was wire-tapped and was paranoid. After Watergate he filed a lawsuit for wiretap and surveillance and made some progress. Justice Dept. never would admit it actually carried out the wiretap and blamed it on other possibilities. After he got his green card he gave up the litigation. Lennon overcame his fear of federal harassment and gave public statements that were anti-republican.

Killing Lennon was only the first step. All that he signified must be defaced. That was the principle objective of Walrus. His diaries were stolen and returned later with extra entries and some entries altered. Fred Seaman wrote a defamatory book on Lennon...


Beatlemania, Mind Control and the New Objectivity by Zabode

Original link

A “respected” news source – the BBC this time – referred to Mark David Chapman as an “obsessed fan.” This appears to be standard operating procedure for the major media any time Chapman’s name comes up. But is it an accurate portrayal? Chapman, of course, is the man who shot John Lennon for some patently absurd reason; in December he will be coming up for parole after 20 years in solitary confinement at Attica State Prison; yet a fan of Lennon or the Beatles he was not – obsessed or otherwise. His preoccupation with John Lennon did not emerge until the months before the actual murder. This fact has been established by Fenton Bresler, author of Who Killed John Lennon? As Barry Chamish notes of researcher Bresler, he does an adequate job of making the case that Chapman was a robot assassin, the victim of mind control. (If you haven’t yet accepted the reality of mind control, you haven’t been doing your homework. Cisco Wheeler & Fritz Springmeier have written a remarkable pair of books that can bring you up to speed with a whiplash-jolt: The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind-Controlled Slave and Deeper Insights into the Illuminati Formula. For a harrowing first-person narrative turn to Trance Formation of America by Cathy O'Brien, wherein this former “presidential model” names the names (including those of four presidents) and details the torments of trauma-based mind control. In so doing O'Brien highlights the ways in which popular books and movies – in her case it was primarily The Wizard of Oz – are used as programming tools; in this light Chapman’s ludicrous attachment to The Catcher in the Rye becomes understandable, even logical.) Getting back to Chapman the “obsessed fan,” does this ubiquitous mislabeling indicate sloppy journalism, or does it mean that at some level the media are actively distorting the facts? More than likely the answer is both. Since we’ve all read David Icke’s work, we know that a mere handful of “elite” insiders own … well … everything! As Robert Anton Wilson drolly titles one of his books: Everything Is Under Control! The corporate media, therefore, should be recognized for what they are: mere mouthpieces for the Agenda.

Whose Agenda, and why would anyone go to such great lengths to assassinate a songwriter and musician? For the moment let’s just call them the “Globo-Super-Elite” (GSE for short). As an incentive to murder you may lean towards the Chamish view that, in rubbing out the former Beatle, the GSE were disposing of one of their own creations – a high-profile asset named John Lennon – as a test run to the upcoming attempt on President Reagan’s life by robot assassin/diversion John Hinckley, Jr. (who, one could assume, was programmed to identify with Travis Bickle, the antihero from Taxi Driver, in the same way that Cathy O'Brien was programmed with Oz and Mark Chapman with Catcher); or you may be inclined towards the Bresler view that the GSE removed Lennon at a key transition point in the life of this extremely influential public figure, that is, when he appeared to be regaining artistic momentum in the context of a new-found and hard-won maturity, making his popularity, his peacenik politics and his pocketbook a direct threat to the hate and warmongering of the Agenda...

Harrison Stabbing & Masonic Symbolism

Lennon was murdered shortly after he gave an interview to Playboy magazine in which he blew the lid off the fact that the Beatles were part of massive experimentation in social control/engineering unleashed by Tavistock and intelligence agencies, as was the deliberate introduction of drugs like LSD into the burgeoning “counterculture” scene during the 1960s and 1970s. The Playboy interview was published not long after Lennon’s death...

And furthermore, we’d really like to know whether slasher Abram was carrying a copy of J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher In the Rye,” as were both Lennon’s murderer Chapman and would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley–NOT to mention the MK-Ultra mind-controlled assassin “Jerry” played by Mel Gibson in the surprisingly revealing movie “Conspiracy Theory”.

Salinger, a quite accomplished and well-respected author whose book “Catcher In The Rye” is required reading for a great many high school students in the U.S., had extensive ties to the CIA throughout most of his adult and professional life including his stint as a university professor.

This is from the interview w/ Playboy w/ John Lennon in 1980 - shortly before he was assassinated:

Lennon: “… We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That’s what people forget. Everything is the opposite of what it is, isn’t it, Harry? So get out the bottle, boy… and relax. They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom. Sometimes it works in mysterious ways its wonders to perform. If you look in the Government reports on acid, the ones who jumped out the window or killed themselves because of it, I think even with Art Linkletter’s daughter, it happened to her years later. So, let’s face it, she wasn’t really on acid when she jumped out the window. And I’ve never met anybody who’s had a flashback on acid. I’ve never had a flashback in my life and I took millions of trips in the Sixties…”

Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation, Part IX

Dave McGowan

Original link (has been removed)

Former Beatle John Lennon is, to be sure, one of the most famous names to be found on the Laurel Canyon Death List. Lennon also has the distinction of being one of the few Laurel Canyon alumni whose cause of death is acknowledged to have been homicide. The ex-Beatle, of course, never lived in the canyon, but he was a fixture on the Sunset Strip and at various Laurel Canyon hangouts, frequently in the company of Harry Nilsson. And as readers surely recall, he was gunned down on December 8, 1980 – purportedly by Mark David Chapman, but more likely by a second gunman.

Lennon was, as everyone knows, murdered in front of New York’s Dakota Apartments, which had been portrayed by filmmaker Roman Polanski in the 1960s as a den of Satanic cult activity (in his film Rosemary’s Baby). Not long before Lennon’s murder, Chapman had approached occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger and offered him a gift of live bullets. Just days after Lennon was felled, Anger’s long-delayed final cut of Lucifer Rising made its New York debut, not far from the bloodstained grounds of the Dakota Apartments. And not long after that, the ‘Reagan Revolution’ began to transform America...

George Harrison

George Harrison was also the victim of a bizarre attack in his home. I think there could be some elements in common with what happened to Paul.

On December 30, less than two days before the beginning of the year 2000, former Beatles member George Harrison was attacked and stabbed in his home outside London. Harrison would very likely have been killed if his wife Olivia hadn’t smashed a lamp on the attacker’s head.

Considering what happened to Harrison’s former band mate John Lennon on the streets of New York almost exactly 19 years before, and considering the Beatles’ key, pivotal role in the mass social experimentation carried out by Britain’s Tavistock Institute in conjunction with covert intelligence agencies like the CIA, NSA and Britain’s MI5/MI6, we’d say there is a strong likelihood that Harrison, like Lennon, was NOT the victim of some random act of senseless violence…

We’d say it’s a good possibility Harrison was targeted to be bumped off by some of the same forces responsible for rubbing out Lennon, using MK-Ultra/Manchurian Candidate-type mind-controlled assassin Mark David Chapman.

Perhaps Harrison had likewise done something to incur the wrath of his former “programmers”; or perhaps it’s just “company” procedure to terminate operatives of whatever designation at someone point in time, lest they somehow become an unnecessary security risk.

Perhaps George Harrison had been designated as some sort of “sacrificial victim” by the demented, obsessed, criminally insane, ritualistically-oriented “Illuminati” power brokers operating behind the scenes of so many events in the world. Perhaps there was some connection between this attempted “sacrifice” and the end of the 20th century/beginning of the new millennium…

The Beatles’ movie “HELP!” kept coming to mind. A sacrifice to Kali, perhaps?

Right off the bat, we wondered if perhaps the near-fatal assault on Harrison was linked to elements of the covert government, and there were some indications this may have been the case.

Few pop bands had as much impact on the latter half of the 20th century than the Beatles. How ironic, then, that less than 48 hours before what was generally considered the end of this century Harrison was nearly killed in a rather ritualistic fashion by a knife.

The number “33”, a very significant number in Masonry, seems to pop up with more than random frequency as having been a factor–somehow or other –in many events or incidents which have ritualistic, cult-like aspects. To name but one such recent event, there was a WEALTH of 33s which figured in the crash of Flight 990 (33x10).

Sure enough, we find some 33s showing up in the Harrison stabbing incident. The attacker Michael Abram is 33 years old. And even more freaky, the attack was said to have occurred at 33 in the morning (London time).

The DATE of the attack was 12.30.99. In numerology, the numbers of this date
tally up to SIX, which is THREE plus THREE.

Some similarities have emerged between the knife attack upon Harrison and the New York City street shooting of Harrison’s ex-bandmate John Lennon in December 1980.

As with Chapman, the mind-controlled assassin who killed John Lennon, the person who wielded a 7-inch knife against Harrison and his wife Olivia Wednesday night in their home near London, a Michael Abram, is shaping up as some kind of fanatical lunatic who had only fairly recently become “obsessed” with the Beatles, according to Abram’s mother Lynda. She also said that her son “hates” the Beatles and believes them to “witches.”

What she describes about her son’s “beliefs” regarding the Beatles sounds to us like Michael Abram was subjected to Manchurian Candidate/MK-Ultra/Monarch/Montauk style belief-system conditioning; inculcated in the target subject by such means as drug- or EM/RF-assisted hypnotic trance induction or the like, as part of an overall mind control program. There are other anomalous and peculiar aspects to the entire incident–some of which George Harrison has already commented upon publicly. Harrison said the man “was certainly not intent on burglary.”

The attacker in fact seemed quite proficient at wielding a knife, stabbing Harrison four times the most serious wound was only an inch from Harrison’s heart.

For another example, one of the more inexplicable aspects is how the attacker, now charged with two counts of attempted murder, was able to penetrate what Harrison’s neighbours describe as “Fort Knox”-like security at the Harrison residence. Police have repeatedly noted their amazement that Abram was able to penetrate the extensive, elaborate security in place around Harrison’s house.

Obviously this was in some way or other an “inside” job...

Voodoo & Vatican

The similarities between voodoo and Roman Catholicism are remarkable. After the Spanish killed all the New World natives on the island of Hispaniola, they imported slaves by the hundreds of thousands from West Africa.

Only in the New World did Roman Catholicism and African paganism merge to create the symbiosis called voodoo. Originally, all the false gods of Africa came from Egypt via Ethiopia. Before the Exodus in 1533 BC, Egyptian gods were worshipped all over Africa and as far east as India.

Zeus is the voodoo counterpart to Blondye.

Bondye is the head of the voodoo pantheon.

In the voodoo pantheon, Bondye is considered the creator of the universe. Bondye comes from the French bon (good) and dieu (God). Zeus is his counterpart in Greece, and Jupiter in Rome. Unlike Zeus, he is holding a cross as his symbol of authority. 

Voodoo has an exact equivalent to the Latin Church Saint Peter. He is called Papa Legba and he is associated with the keys of the underworld.

Papa Legba is based on the Papal Saint Peter.

Voodoo god Papa Legba a.k.a. Saint Peter.

The voodoo god Papa Legba has the keys of the gates of hell. The Papal Saint Peter, with the keys, is his counterpart in the Latin Church. Roosters are sacrificed to Papa Legba because Saint Peter denied the Messiah 3 times before the rooster crowed! (Matthew 26:69-74).

In the Latin Church, Saint Peter is associated with opening and shutting the gates of heaven and hell. Because St. Peter denied the Messiah 3 times before the rooster crowed, Papa Legba is appeased by the sacrifice of a rooster.

Damballah is the supreme Allada serpent divinity, associated with rain, wisdom, and fertility. He is usually depicted entwined with his wife Ayida Wèdo, the rainbow spirit.

Damballah is the voodoo serpent god.

Voodoo Damballah flag.

Damballah is the supreme Allada serpent divinity, associated with rain, wisdom, and fertility. He is usually depicted entwined with his wife Ayida Wèdo, the rainbow spirit.

Damballah is often represented as Saint Patrick… and Moses… Satan always looks for similarities between his religion and Christianity in order to corrupt the Gospel of Christ.

Damballah is worshipped as Saint Patrick.

Damballah is worshipped as Moses.

Damballah is worshipped as Saint Patrick and Moses! Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, and Moses changed a rod into a serpent in the court of Pharaoh. Driving out the snakes symbolizes Saint Patrick’s great success in converting Ireland from Druid paganism to the Gospel of Christ.

The real Saint Patrick did drive the snakes out of Ireland when he converted that country from paganism to true Christianity.

The Papal “bishop” Patrick is pure myth and legend because the real Saint Patrick had no connection with Rome; and the position of bishop does not exist in the Christian congregation… Saint Patrick was an Episcopus… and not a bishop.

The snakes he drove out of Ireland were the two-legged ones called druids who practiced diabolical human sacrifice and cannibalism.

The Egyptian Isis is the model for Ezili Danto.

Mater Salvatoris or Ezili Danto.

Ezili Danto was originally copied from the Egyptian Isis. This “virgin” is the Greek equivalent to Helena and the Roman equivalent to Minerva. In French she is called Marie and Mary in English.

Santiago and Saint George correspond to the African war loa Ogun.

Santiago trampling a Muslim Moor with his warhorse.

Saint George slaying the dragon.

The voodoo war god Ogun corresponds to Santiago and Saint George. Santiago is the patron “saint” of Spain and Saint George is the patron “saint” of England!

Bizarre rituals are held to consecrate voodoo clergy. A voodoo priest is called a houngan and a priestess is called a mambo.

A voodoo houngan or priest presiding over the mystères.

A voodoo mambo or priestess presiding over the mystères.

A voodoo priest who presides over themystères is called a houngan or papa-loa. A voodoo priestess is called a mambo ormaman-loa. A voodoo priestess is called a mambo ormaman-loa. The Vatican’s priests and nuns are their counterparts.

The major difference between Latin and voodoo clergy is that marriage is not forbidden to voodoo clergy, and voodoo has nothing comparable to the Latin Church’s auricular confession. However, they do have to appease the offended loa by doing penance:

In order to obtain forgiveness from an offended loa Voodooists also practise various forms of external, typically mediaeval, Catholic penitence. The penitents, usually women, wear garments made of grey, so-called ‘siamese’, cloth or a kind of harlequin dress made of bits and pieces which correspond in colour to the various different loa; the clothes must be blessed by the bush-priest. Having sung a Mass, burnt some candles and said prayers to the saints, the penitents offer their friends and relations a grand farewell feast. Then they go out, all over the countryside, visiting in turn all the main places of pilgrimage–Saut-d'eau, Vierge du Mont Carmel, Alta Grecia, Saint Dominique–and live on public charity and on the food distributions which certain pious people dole out to acquit themselves of debts to loa or saints. They frequent the markets where they are sure to get a few sous and at least some fruit and vegetables. When they think that by their suffering and weariness they have expiated their sin in the eyes of their protecting loa they go home and resume their normal life.“(Métraux, Voodoo in Haiti, p. 333).
This is almost an exact description of the career of Saint Martin Luther when he decided to save his soul by becoming an Augustinian monk!!

Almost the entire Vatican pantheon is represented in voodoo. Lenglensou basen san is the counterpart to the Sacred Heart of Jesus or le Sacré-Coeur de Jésus. Basen san means basin of blood in Creole and that is the correlation between the Sacred Heart of Jesus and blood.

The voodoo Sacred Heart of Jesus.

A voodoo altar consecrated to all the loa.

The voodoo god Lenglensou basen san is worshipped as the Sacred Heart of Jesus or le Sacré-Coeur de Jésus. In voodoo, loa or mystères inhabit pictures and statues used as visual aids in prayer or worship. A voodoo altar consecrated to all the loa with a deck of cards for divination resting on the cross.

Another diabolical practice of voodoo is human sacrifice and cannibalism, which was very common in Haiti until recent times. Since its suppression by more enlightened governments, it has just gone underground.

Literal flesh, under the appearance of bread, is eaten at the Latin mass.

Voodoo altar prepared for the REAL PRESENCE of the loa.

Though recently suppressed, bloody human sacrifices and cannibalism is a vital part of the voodoo religion. The Latin Church mass, with its sacrifice of Christ, and eating of his literal flesh, is the counterpart to voodoo cannibalism. The Latin Church’s unbloody sacrifice is called transubstantiation, or the REAL PRESENCE, and it originated with the Latin Vulgate Version.

Cannibalism was a prominent feature of the Greek gods of antiquity. Cronus, the father of Zeus, ate 5 of his own children.

The Latin Church’s practice of eating a sacrificial victim under the appearance of unleavened bread or azymes originated with the Latin Vulgate Version. In the Sermon on the Mount, the Messiah told us to pray for our daily BREAD, but the Latin Vulgate says to pray for our SUPERSUBSTANTIAL bread:

Give us this day our daily bread. - Matthew 6:11

That quote is something like Zeus from Mount Olympus would say although his father Cronus tried to devour him as soon as he was born.

In 1563, the Jesuit dominated Council of Trent made belief in transubstantiation mandatory:

CANON I.-If any one denieth, that, in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, are contained truly, really, and substantially, the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ; but saith that He is only therein as in a sign, or in figure, or virtue; let him be anathema. (Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, Session 13, Canon I).
CANON lI.-If any one saith, that, in the sacred and holy sacrament of the Eucharist, the substance of the bread and wine remains conjointly with the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and denieth that wonderful and singular conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the Body, and of the whole substance of the wine into the Blood–the species Only of the bread and wine remaining–which conversion indeed the Catholic Church most aptly calls Transubstantiation; let him be anathema. (Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, Session 13, Canon II).

Here is a statement about the mass and demon possession by a French expert on voodoo:

Catholic communion is considered by certain Voodoo priests as a sacrament which increases their powers; sometimes they recommend it to their clients. Even further: some loa are regarded as Catholics and by virtue of this fact must communicate from time to time. This is notably the case with Damballah-wédo; when the god feels the need to approach the Holy Table, he tells one of his servants who then prepares himself, as a good Christian, to take the sacrament and when the day comes, putting a stone sacred to Damballah in his pocket, goes and kneels before the altar; at the very moment of taking communion he is possessed by Damballah who communicates in his place. A woman of Jacmel who was more or less a Voodooist told me that one Sunday during Mass she noticed signs of strange excitement in one of her neighbours. She watched her and realized that she had Damballah in her head. This woman went up to communicate and it was only at the moment when she got back to her place that she frankly abandoned herself to trance. While she was being removed from the church the loa inside her kept calling out: "They were saying I couldn’t communicate; well I have.”(Métraux, Voodoo in Haiti, p. 332).

The logical conclusion to the dogma of transubstantiation; and almost beyond belief, is that the Vatican has turned her devotees into Cannibals for Christ!!

                             The voodoo statement of “faith”

The most commonly held voodoo beliefs can be summarized by the following creed:

I believe in Bondye, the Almighty Father of the sky, who manifests his spiritual nature in me; in a large number of spirits; and in all things visible and invisible.
I believe in the lwas, the gods of Africa, and all the saints of the Catholic Church. Masters of the universe, they are manifestations of Bondye, who see all things and direct the course of all things; that some have made themselves known to us through our ancestors in Africa, and that others we have come to know, emulate, and serve in our new home in Haiti; that these lwas are potent enough to mount us, their children, in spirit possession; and that through their mounting, they can inspire us as to the needs of our community; that our moral duty is to faithfully serve them; that the lwas are capable, like us, of gentleness and mercy, but also of anger and revenge.
I believe in the power of ancestors who watch over us and serve us before the l was; that they must be remembered and served faithfully.
I believe in the right granted to us by the l was to interfere through magic in the normal flow of events as established by Bondye’s will; in the efficacy of the medicines derived from the local fauna endowed to us by the l was. I believe in the Holy Roman Catholic Church, in the communion of saints, and in life everlasting. (Desmangles, The Faces of the Gods, Vodou and Roman Catholicism in Haiti, p. 63).

No wonder Jehovah gave this final warning to his people: And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. - Revelation 18:4
