SOLUTION: SEND BOTH OF THEM TO ONE OF THESE 5 STATES AND HAVE A 2-FOR-1 SPECIAL!! What states allow execution by firing squad? Five U.S. states currently authorize the firing squad as a method of execution, primarily as a backup when lethal injection drugs are unavailable: Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah. Idaho recently passed legislation making it the primary method, effective July 2026. South Carolina also allows it if lethal injection or electrocution is unavailable. States have authorized this method due to challenges in obtaining lethal injection drugs. Countries using execution by shooting include China, Indonesia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Taiwan, and Yemen. Beheading as a form of execution is routine in Saudi Arabia.

April 26, 2026 Pentecost Before Christ and After In the Old Testament, Pentecost was set as a Harvest Celebration of the Hebrews. “You shall count seven weeks from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.” Leviticus 23:15-16. The event was celebrated annually as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. It was a direct prophecy to the Resurrection. Growing food was a huge part of Jewish family life at that time, so many of the Old Testament parables and prophecies relate to the growing of gardens and fields or crops. Harvest celebrations began with acknowledgement that all food came from Yahweh. Thankfulness was first, the celebration of it next. Even the grape harvest was a time of gratitude and great joy because from it came an entire year of water supplementation, medical uses, religious uses, relief from pain and stress, relaxation and commitment to excellent grape husbandry skills. Once the first and best wine was completed, it was watered down for general beverages, travel water in skins and by the next harvest, it was mostly water. Of the seven major Jewish holidays, Passover was the earliest, in remembrance of the “Passing Over” of the first born of the Hebrews because of the blood of the lamb on their doors. Passover in the New Testament is when Jesus and the Disciples celebrated the Passover which today is called the Last Supper. The connection is that Jesus was the First fruit of God and it was in acknowledgement of the coming Harvest the next day. We celebrate it with Communion in which we share the Unleavened bread and Wine in remembrance of the flesh and blood of Yeshua, Jesus our Savior. He knew exactly what was coming and could have escaped, but He chose to be the final sacrifice. Going to the Garden later that evening was more torment than any human should bear. His tears that fell like blood drops, and repeated requests to the Disciples for prayers should have been a clue to them, but they trusted Him and went to sleep instead of helping Him gather solace in support. Shortly after, Jesus was arrested, tortured and killed the next day. Three days later, He arose in a glorified body, having defeated Satan’s ability to kill the soul of man. He was the Harvest who died to show us blessed life. Forty days after His Resurrection, Jesus took the disciples to the Mount of Olives where He ascended right before their eye into the heavens. Angels appeared to tell them that in the same way He had disappeared from their sight, He would reappear at the Second Coming and set His feet on the Mount of Olives when it would split from East to West for the safe escape of His children in Jerusalem. Then would come the Battle of Armageddon in which Satan and all of his sin and evil ones would be defeated and judged. Fifty days after the Resurrection was Pentecost when the disciples received the Gift of Tongues and the Holy Spirit. Their native languages were Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic and probably some Latin. Therefore they could only teach the WORD of God to others who could understand them. But the crowd included Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs. Each person, many of whom came to trade from all parts of the known world heard the Gospel from the lips of the Apostles in their own native language regardless of what each Galilean teacher spoke. God gifted them with a major skill which was needed in order for His WORD to be taken to the farthest corners of the earth! As the travelers left for their home countries, they took some knowledge of Yahweh and Yeshua with them. It was like scattering God’s seeds to the winds of the entire world. Today His plan is known throughout the world but there are still those who have not heard it all. They do not know the New Life that awaits those who become the willing followers of His Son. Sadly, many of them also do not know what awaits them if they fall into the hands of Satan. If you would like to help those in peril, then ask God to give you that specific personal knowledge. You will be amazed if you are willing to learn and then do.

March 29, 2026 The seven days before the Resurrection of Jesus 2026 Sunday – Palm Sunday- March 29 – This is the day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as the King of the Jews. Many followers cut Palm branches and laid them in the path to greet Him. However, there were also spies in the crowd who reported back to the sinful priests that Jesus had declared His kingship. Zech 9:9 Holy Monday, March 30- Jesus went to the temple, casting out the money lenders with a whip and turning over their tables saying they had turned God’s house into a Den of Thieves. He then cleansed the temple, praying and readying it for the Holy Spirit of God. Holy Tuesday,-March 31- On this day, Jesus taught in the freshly cleansed temple, including the Olivet Discourse, detailed prophecy about the end times, the destruction of Jerusalem and His second coming. As of this day, there were no secrets from His followers, the religious leaders or the government. Holy Wednesday – April 1- Sometimes called Spy Wednesday, this is the day that Judas Iscariot secretly met with the chief priests and agreed to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, the paltry sum for a common slave. Zech 11:13, Jer 1-13, Jer 32 6-9. Maundy Thursday - April 2 - Jesus gathered His twelve disciples in the upper room for the Last Supper instituting Holy Communion and commanding His followers to love one another as He had loved them. He then washed their feet in a reverent act of loving servitude, comfort and appreciation by the Master. Later that evening, He and the disciples went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. Jesus asked His disciples to pray with Him, but they went to sleep not knowing what was coming. He was in emotional agony as He spoke alone to His Father, knowing the seconds and minutes were passing quickly till He would be arrested, tried, tortured and killed. “He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood”. Luke 22-24 NLT Good Friday - April 3 – This day changed the fate of the world as Jesus willingly took on all the pain and suffering of the cross for sin in order to defeat death and Satan. From the time of the first nail till His death was three hours of pain and partial suffocation from which God would not protect Him. Jesus felt it all willingly for us. Holy Saturday - April 4 - The day of silence. Jesus’ earthly body lay in the tomb. The disciples scattered in fear and grief, with no understanding yet of what Sunday would bring. It is a day that mirrors the human experience of waiting on God in the darkest moments - trusting that the story is not over. Easter Sunday - April 5 - He is risen. Easter Sunday is the foundation of the Christian faith. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor 15:17, “without the resurrection, faith itself would be empty”. Please take time today, even a few minutes, to quietly meditate on the meaning of this past week, and especially today. Today is the history of the actual day on which Jesus chose to go from being the treasured Son of God to being the King of the World. And yes, it was ALL for you! Find the verses mentioned and read them in God’s word because, Jesus IS the WORD.

We are slowly being poisoned .... by vaccines and/or processed food. ============================================= ultra-processed foods (UPFs): Scientific evidence increasingly supports the concern that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are damaging long-term health, with studies linking high consumption to over 30 health conditions, including obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mental health disorders. > Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health -------------- Experts are now describing the high consumption of these industrial formulations as a "poisoning" of the food supply, with some studies showing a 31% higher mortality rate for the highest consumers of UPFs. > American Medical Association -------------- How Processed Foods Impact Health Chronic Disease Driver: Diets high in UPFs are consistently linked to obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. > Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health -------------- Nutrient-Poor and Additive-Rich: These foods are often stripped of fiber and essential nutrients while being loaded with artificial additives, preservatives, colorings, and emulsifiers. > Allergologia et Immunopathologia -------------- Addictive Properties: UPFs are often designed to be hyper-palatable, encouraging overconsumption, and can create psychological dependency similar to addiction. > Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health -------------- Subtle Long-Term Toxicity: Additives like emulsifiers can disrupt the gut microbiome, while preservatives (like nitrites in processed meats) are linked to cancer. > Allergologia et Immunopathologia -------------- Packaging Contaminants: Chemicals from food packaging, such as BPA, phthalates, and mineral oils, can migrate into food, acting as endocrine disruptors. > Harvard Health -------------- Key Differences in Food Types It is important to distinguish between processed food and ultra-processed food: Processed Foods: Canned beans, cheese, and canned tuna are generally considered safe, but they have preservatives (salt, oil) added. Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs): These are industrial formulations (e.g., fast food, sugary drinks, packaged snacks, mass-produced bread) that often contain ingredients you wouldn't use in home cooking. > The Nutrition Source -------------- Steps to Reduce Risk Shop the Perimeter: Focus on the outer aisles of the grocery store for fresh produce, meats, and dairy. Read Labels: If a product has a long list of ingredients you don't recognize, it is likely highly processed. Cook at Home: Replacing one processed meal a day with whole food options is a significant step toward improving health. > American Medical Association -------------- Who is making the most money during this slow poisoning? The entities profiting most from the prevalence of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) generally fall into two categories: the multinational corporations producing them and the pharmaceutical companies providing life-long treatments for the chronic conditions they cause. 1. Global Food & Beverage Conglomerates A handful of companies dominate the global UPF market, generating hundreds of billions in annual revenue. These products are highly profitable because they use cheap, industrially-processed ingredients and have a high operating margin—averaging 17%, compared to just 6% for basic food sellers like meat processors. > WSJ ------------------------ Nestlé: The world’s largest food and beverage company, with 2024 revenue of approximately $105.5 billion. Its portfolio includes everything from frozen meals (Stouffer's) to sugary snacks (KitKat). > Voronoi by Visual Capitalist ------------------------ PepsiCo: Reported $91.8 billion in 2024 revenue. It dominates the global "convenient foods" and beverage market through brands like Lay's, Doritos, and Gatorade. > Brandirectory ------------------------ Mondelez International: A leader in the global snacks industry, generating $38.5 billion in 2024 revenue. Its major profit drivers are biscuits (Oreo, Ritz) and chocolate (Cadbury). > Xtalks ------------------------ The Coca-Cola Company: With 2024 revenue of $47.9 billion, it remains the dominant player in the global soft drink market. > Beverage Industry ------------------------ 2. Pharmaceutical "Chronic Care" Giants As the modern diet contributes to a rise in metabolic diseases like Type 2 diabetes and obesity, pharmaceutical companies have created "blockbuster" drugs that patients often require indefinitely. > CIDRAP ------------------------ Novo Nordisk: Now one of Europe's most valuable companies, its revenue is heavily driven by Ozempic and Wegovy, treatments for diabetes and obesity that saw massive global adoption in 2024. Eli Lilly: A major player in metabolic health, reporting $45.4 billion in 2024 revenue, fueled by weight-loss and diabetes treatments. Pfizer: Following the pandemic, Pfizer is pivoting toward obesity and chronic disease treatments, reporting $63.6 billion in 2024 revenue. > CIDRAP ------------------------ > 3. Retailers & Big Box Stores Large-scale retailers also benefit from the high volume and long shelf-life of processed goods. > Voronoi by Visual Capitalist Walmart: The world’s largest retailer, with $648.1 billion in 2024 revenue, serves as the primary distribution point for these food conglomerates. > Voronoi by Visual Capitalist Recent Legal Context: In December 2025, a landmark lawsuit was filed in San Francisco against major manufacturers including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and Kraft Heinz, alleging they knowingly marketed addictive and harmful products that have caused a public health crisis. > Good Morning America +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While many companies contribute to the vaccine market, a core group of "Big Pharma" giants currently captures the vast majority of the revenue. As of early 2026, the global vaccine market is consolidated, with the top four players holding approximately 70-75% of the total market share. MarketsandMarkets ------------------------ 1. The Global Revenue Leaders (2024–2025) The following companies are the primary financial beneficiaries of large-scale vaccination programs: Merck & Co. (MSD): Currently considered the "big dog" in the industry. Its vaccine division earned approximately $12.1 billion in 2024 revenue. Gardasil (HPV): Its most profitable vaccine, generating $8.6 billion in 2024. www.drugdiscoverytrends.com ------------------------ Pfizer: Despite a decline in COVID-related sales, Pfizer remains a dominant force with $11.9 billion in 2024 vaccine revenue. Prevnar Family (Pneumococcal): A major steady driver, bringing in over $6 billion annually. Comirnaty (COVID-19): While sales fell 18% in 2025, it still projected approximately $6.5 billion in COVID-related product revenue for 2025. Pfizer Pfizer ------------------------ GSK (GlaxoSmithKline): Reported $9.8 billion in vaccine revenue for 2024. Shingrix (Shingles): Its top seller, with sales reaching £3.6 billion (~$4.5B) in 2025. GSK ------------------------ Sanofi: A leader in influenza and pediatric vaccines, reporting $7.2 billion in vaccine revenue in 2024. Global Health Press 2. High-Volume Manufacturers While the companies above earn the most money, others lead in the number of doses provided: Serum Institute of India (SII): The world’s largest manufacturer by volume, supplying roughly 2.8 billion doses in 2024, despite lower total revenue (~$2.5B) compared to U.S. and European firms. World Health Organization (WHO) ------------------------ 3. Emerging Market Players (mRNA Focus) Moderna: Revenue has dropped significantly from its 2022 peak of $19.2 billion to $1.94 billion in 2025 as pandemic demand stabilized. BioNTech: Reported $3.3 billion in 2025 revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine partnerships, a 24% year-over-year decline in its final quarter. Statista ------------------------ Summary of Top Vaccine Products by Revenue (2024) Vaccine Product Manufacturer Revenue (USD) Gardasil/Gardasil 9 Merck & Co. $8.58 Billion Prevnar Family Pfizer $6.41 Billion Comirnaty Pfizer / BioNTech $5.35 Billion Shingrix GSK $4.27 Billion

Oh, by the way ... Proof after proof after proof after proof is given to us, but some still don't want to give in and accept the truth. I know it's hard to acknowledge that our lives were based on lies and manipulations. It's a very tough process .... but WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!!

20 years later, with multiple failed predictions, he's still warning of climate doom ...
