Read the news in the Times today,
It seems the world is going 'round,
I don't care what somebody says,
Somebody always puts 'em down.
Red or yellow, black or white,
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screaming in the middle of the night?
Too much talk and not enough action,
Do you know anybody getting satisfaction?
Everybody wonders 'bout the crowds' reaction,
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.
Turn around 'til you see a face,
And it won't be very long,
Someone soon will be in your place,
And it won't be very wrong.
Now's our chance to change the world,
Change the world with love, with love
Too much talk and not enough action,
Do you know anybody getting satisfaction?
Everybody wonders 'bout the crowds' reaction,
And the world gets better by a very small fraction

For many, many years, ask my closest friends in TWO continents, I have been trying to encourage those who could to form Catholic communities. My blog from 2007 until now has been spotted with articles on this topic.
And yet, all the people who have the land, money, time, large families, resources to do so have not acted at all. From 2008, after days of prayer, I tried to give people specific ideas on how to organize TLM groups or home schooling groups into cohesive groups which knew how to sustain and cope with severe conditions of any kind. I was a community organizer on a small scale for Y2K under some great people who were teaching us about how to quickly care for the elderly in our neighborhoods and adopt those who were older and feebler than ourselves. My son helped me with this organization in the home and with an old woman we adopted.
That was in 1999. And, what we are facing will be much worse than the feared computer or grid shut-down which never happened, of course.
This is 2014, literally 15 years later and nothing has been done.
We have had time. I first heard from the Holy Spirit of the coming horrible times of purging as early as 1974. Forty years ago. For awhile, seven years, I was in a community, but was called out in order to learn more, move to Europe for ten years in the eighties and nineties, travel to Canada, and back again and go to Europe for three more years.
I have tried to explain that we shall witness not only a huge change in our physical well-being, our lifestyles, our travel, our church communities, but even our day to day personal freedoms of movement and news input.
Catholic bloggers will be shut down under so-called hate speech crimes, which is why I am a manic blogger.
But, the vast majority of Catholics and even my good friends have not listened to the fact that personal dedication to holiness and to helping those weaker than ourselves must be priorities.
Facts to come and this is repetition:
1) No or little access to the sacraments, including Mass. That means no confession which is why the cooperation with the Dark Night and purgation is so important. No marriages, no confirmations and so on.
2) As in the tale of the Pied Piper, a disappearance of our youth, who will be drafted into work camps and the army because of emergency powers and in order to pay huge college loans off under new government regulations which will pass.
3) Mass numbers of suicides and the killing off of so-called undesirables who are not useful to an increasing utilitarian government across the Western world.
4) Totalitarianism in America but chaos and anarchy in Europe, as Broken Big Brother EU falls apart.
5) Anarchy in the Middle East and in Africa as the West will not be able to help in those areas.
5) Huge conglomerations of territory under Marxists in South America, which will be isolated as a result of increasing civil war and protectionists policies, as well as anarchy.
6) Out and out persecution of the Catholic Church in all Western countries, fines, imprisonments, appropriation of land, property, churches because of the SCOTUS passing of complete civil rights for lgtbs.
7) Out and out persecution and blockage of news regarding Church activities and news-no EWTN, no Relevant Radio. Local communication will be interrupted as well.
8) Jobs in America will be severely limited to those who support the government, and Catholics will be left out of key positions in universities, government, health care, lower levels of education. In many places, this is happening already.
9) Shutting down of seminaries, except for those "official" government ones which will support the new regimes. Seminaries will try and go underground, but there will be few places to hide.
10) Mass schisms in all Catholic countries of laity and clergy to the new, accepted national Catholic churches and the persecution of the underground, real Church.
I am running out of energy, as I have talked about this for over 40 years. I know how to organize, but I am poor and always have been, so, therefore, not in a position to do anything on the ground. Those Catholics in financial positions to start organizing must now as time is very short. I am not a prophet or a seer, but only a Catholic who pays attention to the signs of the time. Yes, the Holy Spirit has given me in the past and even now the Benedictiine urgency of alternative lifestyles in the world.
Once before, in the Great Father Benedict, a man saw the signs of the times and left the crumbling edges of the already fallen Roman Empire and started alternative, spiritual communities.
I have tried. Too much talk and not enough action.
