Job 21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
For those who do not believe the Creator’s Book they continue ‘Digging desperately for more climate dirt, the CBC announces that worms are coming for us. “Invasive earthworms are remaking our forests, and climate scientists are worried”. Worried about worms eating forests? Well, yes. The author, with a BA in Journalism from Concordia with a minor in Women’s Studies, informs us that the three-century-long creep of non-native earthworms through North America is releasing deadly clouds of CO2. “Although they’re usually perceived as friendly helpers in the garden, elsewhere, they can be a surprisingly destructive force.” Once again, if worms can destroy the planet, it wasn’t going to make it anyway.
You might be wondering what exactly makes worms surprisingly destructive, given that in their absence “other soil-dwelling organisms such as mites, nematodes, millipedes and fungi break down organic matter in Canadian forests”. Well, see, “In essence, worms speed up decomposition, which can be a bad thing for ecosystems used to taking it slow.” Which brings us back to this curious alarmist belief that until humans put the blade on the hockey stick climates didn’t change much.
Which is especially curious here because the story allows that “Earthworms are not native to most of North America. Until about 10,000 years ago, a vast ice sheet covered the northern third of the North American continent. Scientists think it killed off the earthworms that may have inhabited the area before the last glaciation.” Doesn’t sound like taking it slow to us. Sounds like massive upheaval.
What’s more, if the worms were only wiped out between the Eemian and the Holocene, and before that were doing their thing throughout most of the last 200 million years, they should have caused runaway warming or whatever dumb thing they were going to do long before the last glaciation. And if she were a scientist, we might ask her to explain why the last glaciation killed them off but not the roughly 16 others during the Pleistocene.
We won’t, because the syllogism, such as it is, runs like this: “Major Premise: Climate change is a runaway disaster. Minor Premise: Earthworms are part of climate change. Conclusion: Earthworms are a runaway disaster.” Works great on anything.
Even worms. And even though the holistic gardeners we have mentioned in earlier posts think that worms are good because healthy soil means healthy plants and healthy plants sequester carbon in soil. But when it comes to climate change, everything is bad and nothing is too small to cause catastrophe. And everything gets worse.
Thus the story finishes us off with “More recently, several species of Asian earthworms have made their way to the continent, and they have soil scientists particularly concerned. Originally from Korea and Japan, they are known as ‘jumping worms,’ ‘snake worms,’ or ‘crazy worms’ — named for their distinctive thrashing when disturbed. They are ravaging soils throughout the U.S., and have crossed the border into Canada.”
Snake worms are ravaging soils. It’s all over.’https://climatediscussionnexus.com/2021/09/15/food-for-the-worms/

‘A week after Victoria Police surrounded a synagogue in Ripponlea to enforce harsh Covid-restrictions, they sent in mounted police to patrol the Jewish neighbourhood on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.’
Life sometimes presents what seems like contradictions. The following article says “all bodies are sacred” but then the article goes on to support the murder of the unborn! Reproductive justice is just a phrase for “go ahead it’s ok to kill the unborn”!
‘As Unitarian Universalists, we are outraged and heartbroken that the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court last week announced that they would allow the implementation of SB8—a Texas anti-abortion bill that outlaws abortion after six weeks gestation. We believe that all bodies are sacred. Every person has the right to determine what happens to their own body at all phases of life—including if, when, and how they want to have children. As people of faith, this commitment is part of our deepest religious values: Unitarian Universalism proclaims that all individuals and communities have the right to self-determination, safety, and the resources that are necessary for health and sustainability.
As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that all bodies are sacred. Every person has the right to determine what happens to their own body at all phases of life.
Our faith tradition has a long legacy of advocating for safe, legal, accessible abortion care for anyone who needs it. Unitarian Universalists were among the plaintiffs suing the state of Texas over SB8 in Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson. Unitarian Universalist ministers and congregations were part of the Clergy Consultation Service, which supported people in accessing abortion care before Roe v. Wade. And from developing the most comprehensive sexuality education program in North America through Our Whole Lives, to regularly affirming our support for abortion access and care in resolutions from our General Assembly, dating back to 1962, we have been steadfast in showing up for reproductive justice.
This anti-abortion bill not only violates basic reproductive freedom, it also deputizes private citizens to act as vigilantes who can receive bounties for bringing lawsuits against individuals who receive, “aid and abet,” or provide abortion care. This decision, which overturns decades of legal precedent dating back to 1973’s Roe v. Wade, signals that any state can effectively ban abortion within its borders. Safe, legal, nationwide access to abortion care is no longer the law of the land.’https://www.uua.org/pressroom/press-releases/uus-remain-committed-reproductive-justice
As we draw closer to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ there will be more and more apostasy.
‘Same-sex couples can now have their marriage blessed by the Church in Wales after a vote was held.
However, the church will still not marry same-sex couples.
Former Dean of St Albans, the Very Reverend Jeffrey John, supported the change but described it as a “halfway house” that did not go far enough.
The Evangelical Fellowship opposed the move, saying it did not uphold the “standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman”.
But Wales’ bishops said it was a step on the way towards repentance of a history which has “demonised and persecuted gay and lesbian people”.
Individual clergy will be able to opt out of offering blessings to same-sex couples and some conservatives said the change would cause a split.’https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-58427926
When HIV was running rampant there was NO Apartheid, NO GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION BUT with the China virus there is GOVERNMENT discrimination between those sheep who get vaccinated and those who do not! The New South Wales ‘Premier Gladys Berejiklian has said those who haven’t received the jab may not enjoy extra freedoms even when the state hits 80 per cent double vaccination.
In NSW, 46.2 per cent of the population has received two vaccine doses, with restrictions to ease significantly for vaccinated residents at 70 per cent.
However, Ms Berejiklian said unvaccinated people could still be living with tough restrictions even when 80 per cent double vaccination milestone is reached.
“Don’t assume that at 80 per cent double-dose vaccination that unvaccinated people are are going to have all those freedoms. I want to make that point very clear,” she said.
“The government is yet to finalise its plans in relation to what happens at 80% double dose. Our key message is – come forward and get vaccinated because once we start opening up at 70 per cent double-dose vaccination, the higher the rate of adult coverage, of people 16 and over, that are vaccinated, the better it is for all of us.”
Ms Berejiklian said it was everyone’s choice whether to get vaccinated, but warned those who choose not to get the jab “not to expect to do everything that vaccinated people do even when we hit 80 per cent”.
“I don’t want people to think they can sit back, let everybody else do the hard work and then turn up when it’s 80 per cent and get everything else that vaccinated people are. That’s not the right message,” she said.
“I want to say it clearly – that if you’re not vaccinated, you will not have the freedom or the freedoms that vaccinated people have even when we get to 80 per cent double dose.”
Ms Berejiklian said private businesses could also make the decision not to open to unvaccinated Australians.
The Premier’s warning follows comments from Deputy Premier John Barilaro that unvaccinated residents would have to wait up to four weeks after the state reaches that 80 per cent goal before they will see eased restrictions.
“There will be businesses that don’t like the idea [of mandatory vaccines] but the 70 per cent road map gives us an opportunity to open up the economy and lift restrictions,” Mr Barilaro told 2GB radio on Monday.
“If they don’t want to do it that’s fine, you might have to wait another three to four weeks after that when we get to 80 per cent and above. I apologise for that but it will only be a three to four weeks of short inconvenience.
“According to the national road map and to the Doherty Institute report, we’ll go and then lift further restrictions including for the unvaccinated.”‘https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/live-breaking-newsnsw-braces-for-pandemics-peak/live-coverage/6629997d8ba2dfe573741b00186cabba
‘Really, what did anyone expect?
“Four Taliban members swapped for Bowe Bergdahl now in Afghan government,” by Samuel Chamberlain, New York Post, September 7, 2021:
Four of the five Taliban members released from Guantanamo Bay by the Obama administration in 2014 in exchange for admitted US Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl are part of the Islamic fundamentalist group’s new hardline government in Afghanistan, according to local media reports.
The four members of the so-called “Taliban Five” who have joined the new government are Acting Director of Intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Norullah Noori, Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Fazl, and Acting Minister of Information and Culture Khairullah Khairkhah. The fifth member of the Taliban Five, Mohammad Nabi Omari, was appointed governor of eastern Khost Province last month.
Afghan outlet TOLOnews published a list Tuesday of members of the new “caretaker” government, which features several familiar faces who helped run the war-torn country between 1996 and 2001 — when the Taliban were forced from power by US-led NATO forces following the 9/11 attacks.
Wasiq, Fazl, and Khairkhah all held positions in the former Taliban government — Wasiq as a deputy intelligence chief, Fazl as army chief of staff, and Khairkhah as interior minister.
According to assessments written in 2008 by leadership at Guantanamo Bay and later made public by Wikileaks, Wasiq “utilized his office to support [Al Qaeda] and to assist Taliban personnel elude capture” and “was central to the Taliban’s efforts to form alliances with other Islamic fundamentalist groups to fight alongside the Taliban against U.S. and Coalition forces” in the early days of the Afghanistan war.
The same assessments said that Fazl was alleged to have had “operational associations with significant al Qaeda and other extremist personnel.”
Fazl and Noori, who was governor of two northern Afghan provinces during the earlier Taliban regime, are also accused of ordering the massacres of ethnic Hazara, Tajik, and Uzbek communities in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998.
Khairkhah, who helped found the Taliban in 1994, allegedly took part in “meetings with Iranian officials seeking to support hostilities against U.S. and Coalition Forces” following the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, according to the 2008 assessments. He also was the governor of western Herat province between 1999 and 2001 and was known as “one of the major opium drug lords in western Afghanistan,” US military leadership found.
Despite the assessments recommending “continued detention” for the five, then-President Barack Obama signed off on an agreement that sprung the men from Gitmo in exchange for the release of Bergdahl, who had been taken captive by the Taliban after walking away from an observation post in Paktika Province in June 2009.
“The United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind,” Obama said at a Rose Garden ceremony announcing Bergdahl’s release on May 31, 2014.
As Bergdhal returned to the United States, the Taliban Five were flown to Qatar, where much of the Taliban’s political leadership resided at the time. Among those aghast by the price paid for Bergdahl’s return was then Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who told CBS’ “Face The Nation” that the Taliban Five were “the hardest of the hard core” and “the highest high-risk people.”
In 2015, Bergdahl was charged by the military with desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty and one count of misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of his fellow soldiers. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, a reduction in rank and a fine. Bergdahl has since appealed to federal court in a bid to get his conviction overturned.
The new Taliban government also features Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is on the FBI’s most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head and is believed to still be holding at least one American hostage. He headed the feared Haqqani network that is blamed for many deadly attacks and kidnappings….’https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/09/four-taliban-members-obama-traded-for-deserter-bergdahl-are-in-the-new-afghan-government
‘Ahead of President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday about new COVID-19 measures, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that there may be new measures that will be imposed on unvaccinated people.
“There are six steps the president’s announcing, there will be new components,” Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “Some of that will be related to access to testing, some will be related to mandates, some will be related to how we ensure kids will be protected in schools.”
When asked about how the new steps would impact Americans’ lives, Psaki said that “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”’https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_morningbrief/white-house-signals-new-covid-19-measures-coming-for-people-who-are-unvaccinated_3987722.html?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mb-2021-09-09&mktids=865235025e5aabe7045066850a53ad29&est=8CoKNPnFkUTXjitwzmfQG%2BCeheZugK2L8CCUazoK81TH8t7RBSIBuuhRe1VCMbBZlA%3D%3D
Is there a communist capitalist agenda going on with this Wuhan flu mandatory vaccine that is being pushed in the West? There is power and money in what these politicians are doing for our HEALTH and safety! Australia is at the forefront of this and it is scary. I wonder if there will ever be anymore elections as people who love freedom will certainly vote these people out of office.
Would they lie to us? ‘They told you the vaccines might not stop infection or transmission but they were still very effective against serious illness and death.
89% of Britons over 16 have received at least one shot. 80% are fully vaccinated.
This is the chart:
Something is very, very wrong.
