“And man shall walk as if asleep; He does not look – he may not peep And iron men the tail shall do; And iron cart and carriage too.”
In our last episode we learned about Mother Shipton, a gifted prophetess who saw ahead in time, and wrote many prophecies that have come to pass. Her visions also extended to encompass happenings that are occurring in our time. Mother Shipton wrote that there will be signs that indicate when a certain time has come. This refers to the time of global disasters, or the judgment times as she later illustrates. But before describing these times, her words indicate how humans will behave when these times are upon us.
“The signs will be there for all to read When man shall do most heinous deed. Man will ruin kinder lives By taking them as to their wives.”
As we explored last week, one aspect of the “kinder lives” could indicate the exploitation, torture, killing, and maiming of innocent animal-people to satisfy people’s greed for animal-people meat and products derived from our sweet animal friends. Humans commit truly heinous acts upon the animal-folks, including artificially inseminating animal ladies against their will, and then taking their babies away and murdering them.
Another aspect of this writing may apply to the rampant sexual abuse that continues to this day within the Catholic Church. Clergymen continue to rape vulnerable children and babies, as well as nuns, and fellow clergymen. In recent decades, and more intensely during recent years, these abuses are being increasingly made public in multiple countries across the globe.
In France, a report found over 330,000 children were abused by over 3,000 perpetrators within the Church since 1950. In Germany, 3,677 minors were molested between 1946 and 2014. In Ireland, nearly 15,000 underage victims were sexually abused between 1970 and 1990 alone. And in the United States, there have been 11,000 allegations of sexual abuse made against 4,392 priests between 1950 and 2002. During 2018-2021, there were another 11,765 child sexual abuse allegations reported in the States. In the case of Australia, between 1950 and 2010, some Catholic religious orders had more than 20% of its members accused of sexual abuse, with one order having 40%. Most recently in Portugal, it was revealed that at least 4,815 children were abused, and the researchers were sure that the findings were only the “tip of the iceberg.”
“Excerpts from ‘Tell No One’ (2019) Polish Documentary - Andrzej Skrzypkowski: Probably the entire world of a child was ruined then. It collapsed. I went home. I told my mother about it. My mother wouldn’t believe it, because in those days, people just wouldn’t accept it. And several months later, I automatically stopped eating. I went to hospital once, twice, three times. I became anorexic. And it so happened that that priest came to us for a pastoral visit. That same priest, Srebrzyński. I was on IV in a hospital. It was a state that was almost fatal.
Marek Mielewczyk: I didn’t really know what had happened. I lost my dignity, I lost a sense of my own ‘self.’ (After you were raped by the priest, what did he tell you?) Not to tell anyone about what happened. Not to say it, even during a confession. Not to confess it. I’ve never told anyone about it, until I couldn’t take it any longer and tried to commit suicide.
Narration: The night was another nightmare. I defended myself. I tried to push him away, but he was stronger. He just laughed me resisting him. At my helplessness. He did not only rape me at night. Sometimes, also after visits to the beach. In the afternoon, in the morning. Many, many times for seven days.
Roman Laudanski: How can you separate the fact that the same priest had his hands in a child’s pants half an hour ago and now he is giving Holy Communion? And celebrating the mass? That the priests and his supervisors allow this situation? I think they should answer for this. And very severely. Because it’s their fault.”
The innocent victims have been left with permanent psychological, emotional, and even physical injuries that destroyed their lives. Others committed suicide due to being raped. And while the leaders of the Church attempt to hide their heinous crimes, more and more reports are being made public as the victims seek justice and express their deep pain. Research shows that the Catholic Church has known about priest pedophilia since the 1950s and that they regularly reassigned abusive priests to new parishes that were unaware of their predatory transgressions, thus knowingly and willingly endangered more children within these new parishes. Instead of trying to protect innocent people from sexual abuse, the Church instead worried about its reputation and protecting its finances lest they be sued due to the molestations and intense suffering that the victims have endured and will continue to endure for the rest of their lives. Yet despite its clergy attacking innocent children, the Catholic Church allowed those priests to stay, and in some cases, even promoted known sexual aggressors.
“Media report by Vice News - Jan. 20, 2022: For the past two decades, the Roman Catholic Church has been in the spotlight, plagued by a child abuse problem it hasn’t resolved. It’s been a global reckoning, spanning at least dozens of countries. Pope Francis opens a landmark sex abuse summit on abuse... calling abusive clergy ‘tools of Satan.’ Some saw it as a turning point. But on the ground, as cases in the US mount, prosecutors and activists say the Church is fighting hard against survivors.
The Honorable Josh Shapiro: We exposed the abuse within the Church, and their response, particularly by some of the bishops who were engaged in the conspiracy and cover-up, was to go spend parishioner money to hire lobbyists to try and make it harder for survivors to confront their abusers in court.
Abuse survivor: No one has known more about the abuse cases than the Catholic dioceses themselves. For me, nearly 30 years of my life could have been completely different, had the Church protected the sheep instead of that abusive shepherd.
Media report by Wall Street Journal - July. 13, 2019: The attorney general’s grand jury report identified more than 300 predator priests and more than a thousand victims. It also triggered a wave of hundreds of previously unknown alleged victims to come forward and share their stories. One of those was Jimmy Pliska, who says he was raped by his local parish priest more than 40 years ago when he was 12 years old.
Jimmy Pliska: The abuse was a life-changing incident that just sent my life in a totally different direction. He would invite altar boys to go on fishing trips, a sleepover, and the only place for you to stay was with Father in his room because that’s all there was, was Father’s double bed. I’m not going anywhere until he got off me and that’s when I crawled out of bed and laid on the floor in the fetal position. It was a crime, that happened to us. Since when should the Church be allowed to handle criminal cases? Why isn’t it in front of the judicial system, as it should be?”
“And man shall walk as if asleep; He does not look – he may not peep And iron men the tail shall do; And iron cart and carriage too.”
Mother Shipton predicted the age of AI – in which the “man” is the modern robot, walking without any signs of real life in them, without any real sense of physical perception as AI do. Just plug in with a cord behind them (the tail), then they shall function. And the same with varieties of electric cars in our modern time!!
Mother Shipton might have also hinted, that we are in the judgment time, that humans will live their lives as if they are not awake. By “iron” she might have been referring to the Kali Yuga period, which is the spiritual “iron age,” or the age of darkness mentioned in Hinduism. During this time, the human race is in the most ignorant and degraded stage, forgetful of God and spiritual values with which to live life.
Instead, humans predominantly live a material, shallow life that is devoid of spiritual awakening. Atheism increases, and many people place their faith in scientific logic instead of spirituality. Meanwhile corruption within science occurs as corporations suppress research, intimidate scientists, selectively publish articles that are in their interests and manipulate study designs.
Yet the majority of people blindly accept the information that corporations and the media present, while the media is also puppet to wider political and governmental agendas. Misinformation by large organizations is rife, as they consistently attempt to mislead the public about the true underlying cause of global warming and climate change, which is the animal-people livestock industry. During the Kali Yuga, people eat food derived from animal-people carcasses and secretions, with no conscience about their suffering. They choose to believe the falsely happy images that the media uses to sell animal-people’s flesh, and hence ignore the deep suffering that our non-human co-inhabitants endure.
Humanity is misled, and in their ignorance, they allow themselves to be led by other ignorant or malevolent individuals, whom they follow like an iron cart or carriage. Their lack of spiritual enlightenment leaves them unable to identify and resist corruption, misinformation, deception, and manipulation by those with vested interests.
