THE HOLY FACE DEVOTION: A MEGA 🧵 The Holy Face Devotion, together with the Rosary, is perhaps the most important devotion to practice in these modern times. It has been recommended by Christ Himself very specifically as a powerful weapon against Freemasonry and Communism, and is the ultimate antidote of reparation to God for not only all the terrible outrages His Divine Son Jesus suffered during the Passion and Crucifixion, but also for the worst offenses committed today against God all over the world, specifically blasphemy, atheism, and the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.

It continues to be a bizarre aspect of US politics that so many American Christians defend Israel even when it attacks Christian villages and churches and kills Americans and/or Christians (as Israel often does), and even seem grateful to pay for it. The Mike Huckabee complex.

I have no words for how disgusting this is.

This is how they will get to “You will own nothing and you will be happy.”

Here you go, honey. 🐝 That’s Sarah Mullally — the female “Archbishop" of Canterbury — handing Leo XIV a jar of Lambeth Palace honey today. Catholic doctrine: Anglican orders are “absolutely null and utterly void” (Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicae Curae, 1896). Women cannot be validly ordained to the priesthood or episcopate.

It’s funny because it’s practically true

"I'm especially glad these IDF soldiers will get special low interest rates when purchasing new homes in America!"

this is not normal

Do you know if that’s the meeting Cardinal Bea attended? Because Fr. Malachi Martin was Bea’s assistant and that was how he became privy to the contents of the Third Secret. Fr. Martin, when interviewed by Art Bell, being bound to secrecy as he hadn’t the authority to disclose it and strictly respected that to the end, could only disclose what it wasn’t when compared to other passages read aloud by Art Bell, which were *purported* to be the Third Secret. All he *could* say was that the contents were brief and simple, on one sheet of paper, and on the face of it, quite dry, but so terrifying that if they had been disclosed as Our Lady had asked, millions of Catholics all over the world would be crawling on their hands and knees to the nearest confessional begging tearfully for absolution of their sins. Astonishing interviews (there are 7 of them). I re-listen to them about once a year!

There is reliable evidence that Pius XII had an unpublicized reading of the Third Secret of Fatima in 1957 with various prelates, one of them the American Cardinal Stritch, who indirectly told 2 priests 2 parts of it, another being what Cardinal Ciappi revealed. youtube.com/watch?v=nO-8Uh… (3 min, 40 sec; the YT channel has more little known info.) In context: whitesmoke1958.com/articles-inter… (Part 1 @ 6:10-9:50)

Who knows if Cardinal Siri would have been any better. He was supposedly Pius XII’s choice for his successor, being the putative arch-conservative and arch-traditionalist of the Curia, and per Fr. Charles Murr and Fr. Malachi Martin, Siri was actually elected Pope in more than one conclave (1958 and 1978). However, he ended up stepping aside on both occasions, caving to the P2’s threats. His cowardice spelled disaster for the Church and enabled the Church’s enemies to lay the groundwork for the Great Apostasy. #CounterfeitChurch

@DagoDmp54 @BreeSolstad Indeed!!!

@BreeSolstad Or men wearing shorts. When I was a kid, it didn't matter if it was 100° outside. You did not wear shorts to church. Makes me wonder how many truly believe that that's the true presence of Christ in the tabernacle. Would they be so casual?

Can I just state the obvious? It’s not that difficult to just cover your shoulders, knees, and head in church.

@VeiledinPrayer @BreeSolstad Absolutely. When you know better, you do better. 😊

I do think some people just don't know yet. I was given incredible graces this time last year and deepening my faith...I learned I was committing mortal sin even taking communion being married outside the church. The minute I learned, I took steps to rectify. I got the marriage convalidated and wore a tanks top dress...I realized shortly after that tank top dresses are just not modest for church and rectified that. I realized shortly after that about veiling....people do develop over time when they are genuinely seeking Truth. I am honestly incredibly grateful that no parishioners came out to me harshly or anything like that... Because I just don't know that he would have continued on my path if too much was thrown at me. Jesus gives grace and mercy...it's incomprehensible , so I try to do the same.

Heeeead and shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes) 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, @BreeSolstad I couldn’t resist. But seriously, this is typical for Novusites. Even the more orthodox Novusites tend to commit faux pas like these when assisting at their first few TLMs after a lifetime of being steeped in that wretched, dank “I’m okay, you’re okay, come as you are, Our Lord sees your heart, aLl aRE wElCoMe” zeitgeist that so tickled the wrinkled musty old pickles of Catholic boomers — particularly Bergoglio. We gotta allow for the first couple of mistakes. It takes a while, but finally they get that it’s not about them, and it was always, only, ever about Him. I should know. I was one of them!!

Can we ask how and why the name of the shooter was searched hundreds of times in Israel a day before the incident ?

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late. The right stack is always taller. On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN. I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS. The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881. He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts." I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes. The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200. I waived it. I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness. Let me show you what I processed this year. January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%. February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed. March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file. I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again. In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not. I want to tell you about the soldier again. He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in. In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on: Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee. Defense appropriations they voted on. Trade policy they negotiated. Pandemic response measures they drafted. Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public. None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012. Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases. My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that. The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop. She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed. I want to tell you about the fine. $200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk. Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself. On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office. The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year. The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million. The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write. He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million. The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised. In my field, we call this self-regulation. The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate. Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return. I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process. As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

They tell you all the time

Have you ever noticed how the Blessed Virgin Mary keeps appearing in trees or right on top of them in sacred art, icons, and real approved apparitions?🇻🇦 It’s not a coincidence. It’s a powerful biblical and Catholic symbol pointing to her role in our salvation... 🔸 Back to the Bible In the Garden of Eden, God planted the Tree of Life (Genesis 2:9). After humanity’s Fall, we were exiled from its fruit and its healing. But God, in His mercy, prepared a new and greater gift. Mary, the New Eve, became the living Tree who bears the true Fruit of Life, Jesus Christ, restoring to us what was lost. This mystery echoes through the Old Testament. On Mount Horeb, Moses beheld the burning bush: aflame yet not consumed (Exodus 3:2). The Fathers of the Church, including St. Gregory of Nyssa and St. John of Damascus, saw in it a profound image of Mary. She carried the divine fire of God within her womb without being burned, remaining ever pure and intact. The Scriptures continue this beautiful imagery. In Sirach 24, divine Wisdom is portrayed as a flourishing, fruitful tree, cedar of Lebanon, cypress, palm, and olive, spreading grace and glory. The Church has long applied this passage to Mary: she is the Tree of Life full of heavenly grace, whose branches bear the Savior of the world for us. Some Marian apparitions associated with trees: 🌲 Our Lady of Ocotlán, Mexico (1541) – Church-approved. Mary led a man to a pine grove. The trees glowed like they were burning without being consumed. A miraculous statue of Our Lady was found inside a glowing pine tree. She is honored as Our Lady of the Burning Pine Tree. 🌳 Our Lady of Beauraing, Belgium (1932–1933) – Fully approved. Five children saw Mary appear on and beside a hawthorn tree in the convent garden. Almost all 33 apparitions happened right there under the “Virgin of the Hawthorn.” 🌲 Our Lady of Good Help (Champion, Wisconsin, 1859) – Only approved U.S. apparition. Adele Brise saw Mary standing between two trees (a maple and a hemlock) in the woods. The shrine now stands on that exact spot. 🌲 Our Lady of Fatima, Portugal (1917) – Fully approved. The Virgin Mary appeared above a holm oak tree to the three shepherd children in Cova da Iria. The site became the focal point of the apparitions and the Miracle of the Sun. From the Tree of Life in Eden → the Burning Bush → the trees of Scripture → real trees where Heaven has touched earth… Mary keeps inviting us to her Son. Next time you walk past a tree, remember: God still speaks through creation. 🌳

Charlie Kirk wanted blockchain technology applied to the federal government. Full transparency. Every dime of spending tracked in real time on a public ledger. His framing was simple: "It is not the government's money. We are the sovereign. We earn the money and the government extracts it from us with our consent." If that's the relationship, then taxpayers have a right to see where every dollar goes. Day by day. Department by department. The technology already exists. Bitcoin proved a public, tamper-proof ledger works at global scale. Nobody can edit it after the fact. Nobody can hide a transaction. Apply that same infrastructure to federal spending and waste doesn't survive long. Nobody overspends when the ledger has an audience. The question was never whether we could do it. It's whether the people spending the money want you to see it.

🔥🤷🏻‍♂️ EVER SINCE THE NEW PHOENIX ALGO ROLLED OUT IVE FELT LIKE TOMMY BEING TAKEN TO THE BASEMENT IN “GOODFELLAS” LOL I’ve tried to do what X wants since the beginning and created original thought out posts some of which I spend hours and days on with research and original commentary. Some of which are long thought out threads as we are told are desired. I’ve been Diligently on X for almost 2 years now engaging passionately however in January my account is visibility limited. I’ll have TREMENDOUS REPOSTS/engagement on some posts but impressions don’t correlate. When I have messaged Premium + support and asked for them to check and clear limitations or give me advice it was to no avail . I was never a part of any engagement manipulation rings or farming and NEVER engagement bait low quality posting or reposting. I wish someone could tell me @nikitabier what I’ve been doing wrong to be thrown into the abyss. With that said .. this is still the only free speech platform and I just wish they were more transparent on guidance.
