HURRICANE OTIS--SURPRISE! CATEGORY 5 & Record Setting Never Before in that region! I ignored this because I did not believe any thing big would happen but, the reporters are saying that they too did not think much would come of it. However, within a day, it escalated from a tropical storm to a category 5! WOW. And reports also say that Hurricane Tammy is also rare for this time of year. I just can't believe that scientist are not admitting this is a connection to the Solar Eclipse!--And although this eclipse was not a complete totality, it obviously was enough to spur these phenomena IMO! In addition, on OCTOBER 19, there was an earthquake in Asia, in Japan and later in Taiwan as well! Just yesterday, there was another earthquake or two in these regions. The news reports were so brief in that it was difficult to go back and find the links. IMO, this is amazing! In the early hours of October 24, 2023, the southern peak of Sakurajima roared, dramatically punctuating the Kagoshima City skyline. The volcanic eruption, Japan's second-largest this year, sent a plume of smoke spiraling 3,400 meters above the crater. This follows another eruption on October 19, which reached an even greater height of 3,600 meters. The eruption was not just a spectacle of fire and smoke. Onlookers bore witness to 'volcanic lightning,' a rare and breathtaking phenomenon caused by static electricity in the volcanic plume. The Kagoshima Meteorological Observatory confirmed the occurrence of this spectacle, which added an eerie beauty to the otherwise ominous display. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/japan-s-sakurajima-volcano-erupts-in-a-spectacle-of-fire-smoke-and-volcanic-lightning/ar-AA1iKe0r?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=3dd314c8294c4f3facbcee459169b4d7&ei=57 19 OCT 2023 | 04:27 AM UTC Japan: Magnitude-5.0 offshore earthquake occurs southeast of Okinawa Island Oct. 19 Magnitude-5.0 offshore earthquake occurs near the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, at around 12:51 Oct. 19. No initial reports of damage or injuries. https://crisis24.garda.com/alerts/2023/10/japan-magnitude-50-offshore-earthquake-occurs-southeast-of-okinawa-island-oct-19 Magnitude 6.2 Earthquake Strikes Off Taiwan's East Coast | TaiwanPlus News

LOL! Well, I don't know, but people that are sensitive about the suffering of little innocent animals are the kind of people you want around! I can feel her pain and would probably be standing right with her and trying to help her and her cats! LOL!

OMG!--This is bad!--Especially when you put it this way! @Pioneer1 But the example of the woman that caused Emmit Till to be tortured and murdered is not a good example.

Yes, this is what it seems like. This is so scary. Other countries are not very loud about this. I don't believe that this should be happening, not to the civilians. Hamas is a particular group and so, other Palestinians should not be killed for the actions of one group. Yes, a few years ago, I had a co-worker tell me this same thing! He was from East Africa, and he said this very same thing! THE GOD OF FORCE as described by the prophet Daniel, comes to mind. But still, I thought that China might have some kind of power to at least do something! But then, maybe they are tied up into their issues with Taiwan. Exactly!!!

Storm Babet, Hurricane Norman, Hurricane Tammy, ... WOW! The natural events that have happened after this eclipse are amazing! It is so insane though, imo, that our educational system does not address the possible connection of certain events to eclipses. Two tropical depressions occurred right afterwards and now have developed into hurricanes; Hurricane Norman and Hurricane Tammy. Two earthquakes were reported to happened in the area that the eclipse hovered over. And even more intriguing is the other reports of phenomena going on in other parts of the world too. Reports say that the storm Babet in UK has caused a Red Alert in Scotland on October 18 and even now. This storm is still causing a lot of flooding and some people say that they have not experienced this type of flooding in over 25+ years. I wonder if the Solar eclipse of October 14 spurred this storm. Yes, I do believe in Climate Change, but I also think that eclipses and other star phenomena absolutely have something to do with Climate Change as well as mankind's actions. Storm Babet

EVERY LOOK IS A HIT! These beautiful dresses are not your every day outfits, but they open my eyes to other ideas that I have not seen before!

And that may be the real problem!!! IMO it really doesn't matter though, if people are raping little children, you know, that is what the ancient scripture say the original people were doing. Sort of like the South African 'hyena boys' who submit to the chief woman of the village and go about the village raping young girls and infecting them with AIDS and sht. But, now, I just heard that about 500 people, civilians, were killed in a Gaza hospital! This is terrible.

That's easy to answer when you consider the crap that is going on in this world, generally speaking. Maybe the future will be better, but even if I was doing better in a past life, the grand scheme makes it not worth knowing, imo.

Wait a minute!? For real? Well, if this is true then, what are they FRONTING for, i wonder. Did they stay together for the sake of the kids or to make money for certain projects like their talk show.

I did not know that this is the origin of it! @Pioneer1 Unfortunately, this type of reverse psychology has worked on many Black women because, I have heard many of them say this!

OCTOBER 14-Upcoming Solar Eclipse! Ancient Halloween & Black Themes Coming Soon: A “Ring of Fire” in the Sky On Oct. 14, 2023, an annular total solar eclipse will be visible to millions across the globe as it sweeps through the skies of the northwestern United States through Mexico and Central America and into South America, exiting the continent in Brazil. Even if you are not in the path of annularity, you will still be able to see a partial solar eclipse if weather conditions are right. https://blogs.nasa.gov/Watch_the_Skies/2023/09/14/coming-soon-a-ring-of-fire-in-the-sky/ The ancient October festivals are one of my favorite topics as most people that know of my research probably know now! The most crucial reason why this topic becomes supreme for me would be because, although still a great kept secret, the ancient scripts pinpoint this month and day, OCTOBER 14, to be the very month and week of the Crucifixion. It continually amazes me though, that the Black Church still does not profess this truth from the pulpit, yet the entire faith revolves around this very Passover festival of the First Coming and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Still today, and although the ancient Saturnalia Festival detailed in the Gospel that occurred on the very same day that marks the Crucifixion, nevertheless, this truth is almost completely ignored. Although the ancient Romans changed this Saturnalia festival about thirty years later after the Crucifixion to occur at a different time, albeit astronomy and other scientific and historical facts should prove that the original pagan festival occurred during the middle of October and did so for thousands of years. Even more astonishingly would be that the Crucifixion happened during an incredible Total Solar Eclipse that lasted for three (3) hours and crossed the entire globe when the continental plates had not separated into the seven (7) continents that we have today! That makes the timing of this upcoming solar eclipse even more interesting to note. Even though many scientists do not highlight the effects that eclipses can possibly have on our earth, there does seem to be a possibility that eclipses can affect the earth from time-to-time. In the recent past Great American Total Solar Eclipse that happened in August of 2017, amazingly four (4) tropical depressions developed immediately afterwards out of which eventually spurned four (4) major hurricanes and other rare phenomena happened such as red tides as well. And after the Crucifixion, about thirty years later, the ancient scriptures reveal that the earth’s plates separated eventually, and the north pole and south pole formed. Interestingly too, many ancient festivals revolve around historical and scientific phenomena and therefore the history behind ancient festivals like the Saturnalia festival may be beneficial to know. For thousands of years, the ancient pagan Saturnalia Festival of which would also be the same Halloween festival observed today, was not a solar festival nor a winter’s solstice festival like today, rather, just like most of its’ symbolism reveal, it would be A LUNAR FESTIVAL. Halloween symbolisms such as ‘a full moon’, an orange moon, bats, owls, nighttime themes of cemeteries, witches depicted on brooms and in a moon silhouette, etc. and reveal that this would be an ancient moon festival in relation to death themes. Astronomically, exactly thirteen (13) days after a crescent new moon of every month begins THE FIRST EVENING OF THE MONTH ON A LUNAR CALENDAR. And so, every month and after the 13th evening begins the first day of a scientific calendar and the 14th day, technically becomes the FIRST DAY OF THE LUNAR MONTH. For the ancient Hebrew Israelites, SEPTEMBER 14 became their annual New Year’s Day except for their leap year. So every third year, their new years’ festival, Passover, began on OCTOBER 14 and therefore, Jesus Christ became Crucified during a leap year and during the very same week as the Saturnalia festival. According to scripture too, he died on the cross on the second day, on a Thursday, October 16 after a three-hour total solar eclipse, and then after three days, he was resurrected early Sunday morning, October 19, the first day of the week. Surprisingly, this month too, OCTOBER, has been observed in the Middle East as a significant holiday, the SIMKAT FESTIVAL. On a Gregorian lunar/solar Calendar, however, the actual day changes and at times, it will be on October 19. The 19th day in Ethiopia becomes the most major holiday as well, known as ‘the Timkhet (Timkat) festival’ however, unlike in the Middle East Simkhat, moreover, the month of January would be the time for this holiday. Furthermore, just as the First Coming was marked by an astronomical phenomenon of a total solar eclipse that marked the October event, this upcoming Ring-of-Fire eclipse becomes a reminder of this very historical time of year and helps to understand more about leap years and how our equinoxes are aligned with ancient festivals. So, even though today, Halloween has been moved and observed on October 31, to mark a Solar Calendar, however, the theme still reveals its’ ancient origin with being a lunar festival with black themes of human sacrifice. Ironically, the First Resurrection and the dark themes of mummies, skulls of decapitated heads, and skeletons that come to life go together, yet the Black Church almost completely ignores this concept. Even though the Holy Bible states that graves were opened, and the dead came to life at this very time when Jesus was Crucified, nevertheless, this has not taught in the Church. The Saturnalia festival and Halloween was observed as one theme in ancient times; however, certain aspects were divided up and observed in different ways over time. The Jews Passover Week was moved about thirty years later after the Crucifixion to be observed during the springtime and began to coincide with the Roman pagan Easter festival, but the Saturnalia festival became a winter’s solstice festival observed in December or January. Howbeit, the same dual theme of Halloween and Saturnalia has remained the same as it has been for thousands of years even before Moses ordained the Passover festival way back during the time of the Exodus. Surprise! The very institution of the Passover Festival was a seal, a hidden prophecy. This seal about the Saturnalia Festival was opened during that fateful week when the Passover Festival fell on the same week to mark this dark ritual that had occurred for thousands of years. Jesus came to mark this ritual of human sacrifice aimed against the priesthood of the living God. So now when Easter occurs every spring and a purple cloth has been draped across a Church symbolism of the planet Saturn, therefore, it now becomes the mark of the very Star of Bethlehem that also marked the advent of the babe born during that springtime when the star appeared in our solar system during the Festival of Booths! And then the babe became a man and that same star revolved around the sun about thirty years later to mark him again. Three and one-half years later, that same star stood over Calvary too: [22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. [23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, … ST LUKE 3:23. A Saturn Return happens approximately every 29.5 years (i.e., the duration of Saturn’s orbit around the sun), which means it lands in the same place in the sky it did when you were born roughly around the time you turn 29. Generally, it “returns” for approximately 2.5 to three years. https://www.thecut.com/article/saturn-return-what-it-is-what-to-expect.html#:~:text=A%20Saturn%20Return%20happens%20approximately,approximately%202.5%20to%20three%20years. This ancient Saturnalia Festival that revolves around ‘the pagan god Set’ [i.e. Saturn], that marks a theme of human sacrifice goes way back in time, much farther in time than when Moses instituted the Passover festival. It goes back even before ancient Egypt when the dual Opet festival occurred between Osiris and Set. This theme of good and evil not only marks the Nicolaitan rituals observed in ancient Turkey Anatolia that included the goddess Cybele but, has been played out in so many early cultures that spread from the Near East all over the world in antiquity. And so, by the time of the Roman Empire, the Etruscan bronze or wooden statue of Saturn remained bound in the treasury temple of Mercury in Italy and was revived again to become a live human sacrificial ritual in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ became the captive god Set [i.e., Saturn, Seth] that became conquered by Mercury [i.e., Herod], the god of trade and mercantile and sacrificed at the end of the triumphant parade. This Black-on-Black violent ritual marks the sacrifice of Black males that have become victims of genocidal attempts, mass incarceration, miseducation, and rape, and spiritual death by way of homosexualism now introduced at birth; their souls being robbed in the cradle by a system that introduces this ideology before they have the human right to know why they are born genetically as males. Satan’s movement, his unisex government, has been set up to attack anatomically straight males, not only of Black males, but ultimately males of all walks of life. This would be the purpose of the sacrificial ram of God Almighty; the enmity of God that came to bruise the head of the matriarchal government that began in the Garden of Eden at the time of the Original Sin. Soon the temple of Mercury became changed to become the temple of Saturn many years later after the Crucifixion. The Diwali festival and its doomed god Narak-Asura that becomes an effigy burned at the end of a parade echoes the same dual theme of good versus evil, and light versus darkness. These dual themed rituals of Woden’s Dag [i.e., Magog’s day; Wednesday] took on so many other symbolisms but the same theme of human sacrifice remains the same even today. Whether the theme was about the gender conflict of Ops and the wedding day of Oden [i.e., Wednesday] when the evergreen tree became a central theme and symbolism of Opalia [i.e., goddess Consiva; conceives from a sexual encounter after eating the forbidden fruit of the tree] and Saturn, or whether it focuses on the other dual theme of the two opposing Black males, the dual themes became universal to mark the Original Sin and the world that came from it. Live victims were selected to be ‘the god Saturn’ for a day, given the robe of Herod or an ethnic puppet ruler, given the rulers clothes, such as a crown, scepter, etc. But eventually, the most supreme god Jupiter would emerge and cause both to be sacrificed. Whether Magog represented his feminine form and a matriarchal dominance or his male form, he ultimately reflects a dual theme within himself. Out of Magog would emerge the prince of Magog, that would be Gog and he reigned supreme. And so, strangely one day, during the Roman Empire times, the Jews’ Passover Week aligned itself with the Saturnalia Festival and the Ram was sacrificed at the end of a parade on a hill of skulls. And that day was marked astronomically to be during a total solar eclipse in October. Whether the moon theme depicts an orange moon [lunar eclipse] or a black moon [solar eclipse] this festival defines death and autumn not springtime. Interestingly, this upcoming and rare Ring-of-Fire solar eclipse will occur in North America and remind us of an ancient time when major grain festivals occurred during the middle of October and when it became regarded as a leap month. And six months later, another total solar eclipse has been predicted to occur on April 8, 2024, along with a periodic comet known as Pons-Brooks. Even more of an intrigue will be that next year, during the middle of the month of October, another comet has been detected by the Purple Mountain observatory, and will attempt to make an entry into our inner solar system and move towards the sun. The original day was given over to the Opalia, honoring Ops, who personified abundance and the fruits of the earth, and was the consort of Saturn. As the two deities represented the produce of the fields and orchards, so they also were thought to represent heaven and earth. https://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/saturnalia.html#:~:text=The%20original%20day%20was%20given,to%20represent%20heaven%20and%20earth. Ops, Roman goddess (originally perhaps of the Earth’s fertility) with an ancient shrine in the Regia, the office of the pontifex maximus, which only he and the Vestal Virgins might enter. She was early equated with Rhea, wife of Saturn, and like her was later identified with Cybele. She also had connections with the rustic god Consus. Her title, Consiva, and the nomenclature and dating of her festivals (the Opalia on December 19 and the Opiconsiva on August 25) illustrate her affinities with the Saturnalia (December 17) … https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ops#ref1256767 …On October 14, a rare annular solar eclipse will be visible from eight states in the United States. … For the first time ever, this type of eclipse will be visible in North America. The eclipse begins on October 13 in Oregon and crosses through Northern California, Nevada, Utah, northeastern Arizona, southwestern Colorado, and New Mexico before it ends in Texas on October 14. From there, it will travel to Central America and South America, NASA reports. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/a-ring-of-fire-solar-eclipse-will-be-visible-in-the-us-for-the-first-time-ever-here-s-how-and-when-to-see-it/ar-AA1fgj3F?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=661c59a806ed43d5ba3bc55061e2e301&ei=35 THE TIMKAT FESTIVAL IN ETHIOPIA Taking place in Ethiopia every year on 19th January (or the 20th on leap years!)

I can't believe I missed THE BATES MOTEL. That movie is tops. I can now see many others too now that you posted the answers!

I just recently read that there are about 3000 known comets found so far. Yes, I am thinking about the moon recently too, because it will be part of this upcoming Ring-of-Fire Solar Eclipse to occur on October 14. And, I do believe the moon has a lot to do with natural disasters especially when it comes to certain types of eclipses! But in comparison and contrast to comets and asteroids, I think there is a lot more to be learned about how each of them can affect our planet. Obviously, the moon causes high tides and this shows how it does affect our planet, but then what about comets? Comets are fascinating for me! I believe the ancient scriptures reveal a lot about them and I am still trying to understand. One interesting thing about them is that they come from a much farther distance and in order to do that, they have to be packing a lot of energy, and this is a clue to how much power they have! Some scientist say that comets are much larger than asteroids. I do think that comets and asteroids have the ability to affect the earth and at times, their coming into our inner solar system can cause a castastrophe.

Nice video. If I have been in existence in past lives, I am glad I have no memory of it especially due to the horrors of this universe. I would never want to know if I was like HItler! If I were a child that was killed off, then, I am happy that God put me back in action!

I don't really like a lot of haunted movies but only a few. I don't know if it is in this picture, but I like Hocus Pocus, starring Bette Midler.

LOL! I can't say that you are wrong! Just about every time I attend a type of celebration where international people are also present, it seems like Nigerian people seem to stand out! For example, a few years ago, I was at a college graduation at MIT and WOW!--The Nigerian families show up and the women have on these brilliant and colorful outfits! Also, I think families from India do too. then we went to restaurants and the Nigerian families come in and WOW! ... It's hard not to look at them.

The Ethiopian Empress Who Defeated Italy: Taytu Betul The Battle of Adwa, Empress Taytu & Menelik II I have been reading about this war and how the Italtians invaded Africa, Ethiopia and Eritrea and I am so amazed that this kind of history is not taught over here in America. I think this conflict that occurred in the late 1800s, is so important to know!

AWESOME! I would love to visit this store one day!

I think Nigerian women wear some of the most elegant clothes in the world!

I think this baby says it all! LOL! She made a U-Turn! I think her mind made a connection to the doll that she was pushing in her stroller! This video is so precious. If that dress could be made and put on her doll...

This was one of the videos that I thought was awesome. My Sorors decided to associate me to Debbie Allen and Tina Turner. This song and video is so stylish! IMO it's a classic. The Theme is timeless. May he RIP!

So true! @ProfD Again, --So true! But you know, I wonder if this is not why the late Nipsey Hussle is now resting. I do hope that he is in the RIP mode. I believe he was awesome on this very wise. He almost won a Grammy for his genious, if I am not mistaken. The MARATHON man that he is in his message, I think was designed by him to continue even beyond his life and work. Not only was his music great, but I think that his videos were also great too, although, he was rough!--in his language and presentation for all audiences. In one of his videos, he featured his grandmother, and that was toned down a bit! I remember, as a teacher, one video that was presented across the public schools actually STOLE his very theme! The video featured the very theme in one of his songs where he and 'a blood' stepped across the line onto the 'Cript' side and they two switched sides to show a theme about--ya know!!! Well, the public school video used this very theme to present INCLUSITIVITY of LBGT+! It still infuriates me when I think about it, because if he was alive, I wouldn't be surprised that he could sue somebody for using his creation. At any rate, I did not watch a lot of videos but I do have a few that I did watch and believe were great. Of course, Michael Jackson, IMO is one of the best in the business when it comes to videos. He knew how to create music and also put together an awesome video. Some musicians create great music but to feature a video interpretation of their music is a whole different endeavor. Some of my favorite that comes to mind are MC HAMMER, Sade, and Debarge. But again, I think, other than the late Michael Jackson, it would also be Nipsey as one of the best when it comes to putting his music to a video. And going back in my day, there are a few others that I like of which I will also post.

Yeah, I just realized too, that some of the songs I loved in the 80s were actually released in the late 70s.

They are both good at what they do, but yeah, I can't believe Kanye put Ice Cube on blast like that!

As crazy it may sound, but it's pretty much the truth. @Pioneer1 It seems like I skipped that whole decade and picked back up in the 2000s. You know, I can definitely identify some good tunes though, and some groups, in the 90s, but that time of my life was absolutely vague when it came to a lot of things I used to do before I became a new mother. I just watched an old flick, Girl Trip, and was reminded of groups like New Edition and P Diddy, so I guess that was the 90s. I remember Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll, Must Be the Music, Groove Line, One Nation Under a Groove, And the Beat Goes on, I Wanna Rock With You, Control, ... Whiteney Houston, Anita Baker, Tina Turner, Jeffrey Osborne, Billy Ocean, ... I can go on and on. I guess Ice Cube was in the 90s. But again, for me, it seems like the late 80s may have blended with the early 90s and then, next thing ya know, it was the new millennium.
