The Resurrection of Our Lord Easter Sunday
As the war situation dangerously escalates, let us observe a solemn Easter Sunday.
The discussion below focuses on the war crimes of the United States and Israel, upon Iran. As we feast this day, let not forget the mothers weeping over their children who are gone, on the other side of the world…
IRAN WAR: Bridges, Electric Power Plants Next / Lt Col Daniel Davis & Robert Barnes
From the notes:
“Robert Barnes [Constitutional Lawyer] argues that recent actions by U.S. leadership constitute clear war crimes, citing public statements like no mercy, no quarter as explicit violations of international law and the Pentagon’s own rules. They stress that following orders is not a valid defense, referencing the precedent set by the Nuremberg trials, meaning military personnel could also be held accountable. They warn that although accountability may seem unlikely in the moment (since enforcement depends on power), violations of law and principle still stand regardless of consequences. Potential future consequences could include: Impeachment of the president, Congressional pushback or defunding of war efforts, Criminal prosecution of political and military leaders by a future administration, Possible international prosecution. The speaker also criticizes a pattern of unchecked executive power, arguing that earlier unconstitutional actions signaled that leaders would face no consequences, encouraging further escalation. Additionally, they claim internal turmoil within leadership: Officials who disagreed were sidelined or fired, Intelligence reportedly found no imminent threat justifying the war, The president is described as increasingly erratic and prone to scapegoating others. Overall, the [conversation] portrays a situation where illegal wartime actions, lack of accountability, and deteriorating leadership decision-making could lead to serious political, legal, and institutional consequences in the future.”

April is the Month of the Most Holy Eucharist
Running late on this, much of my time now is tracking the war and doing my own prepping. Thank you for your patience.
As you all know, this is Holy Week, so let us pray for peace this week and into the Easter Triduum. We are being given this opportunity for great graces to help mitigate this tragic global situation.
Encourage your friends and family to prepare in whatever ways they can. We are only as strong as our weakest link. Together we will be strong and we will get through the coming days. God is with His people.
If you know you are right with God, do not let your inner peace be disturbed. If you are not right with God, then get right with the great Sacrament of Penance.
May God have mercy upon us all at this hour!
Thought for the Day
As many ships stop, many ships are now setting sail. Some coming in, some going out.
Embrace that which must be embraced at this time. Let go of what must be let go of.
It's Bite the Bullet Time, Ready or Not

War with Iran: Coming Cyber Takedown?
For a number of reasons, there is a higher than usual chance of a cyber attack at this time. Grid attacks or failures due to lack of energy is also a concern. What does this mean for you? Here are the recommendations…
1) Back up all your important digital data.
2) Record/print important data on paper.
3) Buy books on topics that are important to you. Consider preparedness-type books, such as gardening, woodworking, canning, etc. We always recommend good, hard-cover Catholic classics and Bibles!
