DEW vs Non-Catholic Church – 2026-06 Bushwick Brooklyn NY – along with 499 similars in past 10 years

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.

NAME-GAME Mockery — Of course, out of all the hundreds of people present, the Zionic News, in yet another Totalle CocinciDUNCE, happened to interview and properly identify “Chelsea Hightower”, neighbor (who noted the old age of the church, the longevity of area residents, etc). I’m surprised the name was not listed as Blaise Hightower LOL! Amusingly, WhitePages lists no such person in Brooklyn: https://www.whitepages.com/name/Chelsea-Hightower/Brooklyn-NY?fs=1&searchedName=chelsea%20hightower&searchedLocation=Brooklyn%2C%20NY
