The slow, constant attack — burning by phyre — continues unabated in America curiously involving non-Catholic historic churches. Landmarks gone. Bulding techniques erased. Historical icons and community pillars removed.
“Phyre” indicates fire surmised as caused, assisted and/or driven by Directed Energy Weapons attack.
Connected Dots
- Jesuits control Raytheon, maker of Directed Energy Weapons.
- Jesuit motto: ITE OMNIA INFLAMMATE – go forth, set the world on fire.
- Jesuits literally exist to “counter” the Protestant Reformation; America is still a mostly Protestant nation keeping it a prime target for subterfuge and attacks in all ways. See Jesuits Fourth Vow.
