FOLKS, whether you want to believe it or not… WE ARE LIVING in the TIME OF THE END. The world is about to run into its expiration date. There is an awful lot of jockeying and wrestling for position as the various forces seek to gain control of whatever they can an hold onto.
Man makes his plans, but God’s will prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Satan and his minions are well aware of the time. They know the end is near. They are doing all they can to take down as many souls as they can. But, we know that GOD is in control. They are only instruments God will use to bring HIS plans to fruition.
What people do not realize is that the things of the Spirit are far beyond the comprehension of mortal man. They can only be discerned by the SPIRIT.
1 Corinthians 2
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?but we have the mind of Christ.
This world is failing because of rebellion and sin. People have been toying with spiritual things about which they know absolutely NOTHING!! This is a very dangerous practice. Demonic Spirits are so much more powerful than people understand. I always laugh when I hear Spiritualists, Witches and Magicians when they talk about controlling the spirits and using them to achieve their desires. THEY ARE SO DECEIVED!!! They do not even realize who is in control. They give themselves over to demonic possession out of ignorance. They are slaves who think they are imposing their own will on others. They are in for a very rude awakening.
If you have not noticed, much like our nations are being invaded by hostile forces, our WORLD is being inundated with demonic entities. This is the reason for all the violence, rebellion, lasciviousness and insanity we are seeing today.
I want to focus in this post, on the rise in sightings of weird animals and creatures that are mythological or never seen before. There are pages and pages of stories and videos about people who have encountered these things. If you want to hear the testimonies just run a search for yourself, on youtube.
You know it was not that long ago that people being attacked by animals was almost unheard of, and being eaten by an animal was unthinkable. Today, it has become quite common.
It was not that long ago that sasquatch was a story with no evidence of being real. Today they are everywhere. People have encounters on a regular basis. I have met several people in my life who have had the misfortune of running into one, sometimes whole groups of them.
There are hundreds of people who report having encounters with creatures that most would call mythical. Mothman, Dragons, Dinosaurs, Werewolves, etc… We used to laugh about such things…but today it is NO LAUGHING MATTER.
Witches and Vampires are quite common…. as anyone from New Orleans can testify. They actually have vampire bars in many towns. An unbelievable number of people are practicing witchcraft/magic, especially young people.
The world is going to HELL in a handbasket. But, this should not surprise us, because GOD told us that from the beginning.

Beliefs about witches, werewolves, and vampires developed during the medieval and early modern periods, and were influenced by a variety of factors, including disease, folklore, and colonialism:
| The Middle Ages were a period history between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance. The Middle Ages, spanning roughly from the 5th to the 15th century, was a period characterized by largely agrarian societies, feudal systems, and limited technology. The Early Middle Ages: 476 to 1000 CE. This period saw the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, and the creation of the new Holy Roman Empire (The Rise of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, and its persecution of Christians) |
| The Renaissance was a period in European history that spanned from the 14th to the 17th century, (variously interpreted as beginning in the 13th, 14th, or 15th century) and is considered a bridge between the Middle Ages and modern times. It was a time of cultural, artistic, political, and economic rebirth, and is characterized by the rediscovery of classical art, literature, and philosophy; a period in European civilization that was marked by a revival of Classical learning and wisdom. Source The Renaissance saw many contributions to different fields, including new scientific laws, new forms of art and architecture, and new religious and political ideas. Source The Renaissance’s intellectual basis was founded in its version of humanism, derived from the concept of Roman humanitas and the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, such as that of Protagoras, who said that “man is the measure of all things”. Source |
| The modern era is generally considered to begin around the year 1500, marking the end of the Middle Ages, and extends to the present day, with some historians further dividing it into an “Early Modern” period (roughly 1500-1800) and a “Late Modern” period from 1800 onwards; however, the exact timeframe can vary depending on the context and perspective. The Modern Age is marked by significant technological advancements, urbanization, globalized economies, and a shift towards scientific inquiry and individualism. |

Werewolves
The belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches during the Late Middle Ages and early modern period. Werewolf trials began in the early 15th century in Switzerland and spread throughout Europe in the 16th century. The persecution of werewolves peaked in the 17th century and declined by the 18th century. -
VampiresThe vampire legend emerged more recently than the belief in witches and werewolves. Vampire superstition thrived during the Middle Ages, particularly as the plague spread and left behind bleeding mouth lesions on victims.

Ratramnus and the Dog Heads
Megasthenes writes that on different mountains in India there are tribes of men with dog shaped heads, armed with claws, clothed with skins, who speak not in the accents of human language, but only bark and have fierce grinning jaws.….
Megasthenes’ Indica – Reported in Pliny
People in the Middle Ages inherited many esoteric ideas from antiquity, among them the belief that beyond the known world there are races of beings that look very different to humans. Although strange to the modern eye, this notion was widespread in the ancient and medieval world.
The Machlyes, according to Aristotle, performed the function of either sex alternatively, being equipped with the left breast of a man and the right of a woman. Some people in India would have sex with wild animals and produce children of mixed species. Other races had men with dog’s heads and tails.
Ctesias wrote:
‘In the mountains dwell men who have the head of a dog; they wear skins of wild beasts as clothing, and they speak no language, but bark like dogs, and in this way understand one another’s speech. They have teeth bigger than a dog’s...they understand the speech of the Indians, but cannot respond to them; instead they bark and signal with their hands and fingers, as do mutes’.
They attempt to cook their food, but lacking the ability to make fires, they have to cook it in the boiling sun. Their sexual activity is rather what one would expect of a canine:
‘All of them, men and women, have a tail above their hips, like a dog’s except bigger and smoother. They have intercourse with their wives on all fours like dogs, and consider any other form of intercourse to be shameful. They are just, and the longest lived of any human race; for they get to be 160, sometimes 200 years of age’.
The existence or non existence of the dog-heads at the edge of the known world being somewhat hard to verify, the idea became popularised in the medieval period, a subject documented by Robert Bartlett in ‘The Natural and the Supernatural in the Middle Ages’. The dog-heads had passed into popular legend but also into the imagination of monks and clerics due to the great encyclopaedias and standard texts of the late Roman and early Medieval world. They were probably also used as bogeymen to frighten enemies and to represent virtues and vices in Church art. Hence according to a Welsh poem, King Arthur fought with the creatures:
‘On the mountain of Edinburgh; He fought with dog-heads; By the Hundred they fell’
A story of St Christopher from Ireland depicted him in these terms:
‘Now this Christopher was one of the Dogheads, a race that had the heads of dogs and ate human flesh. He meditated much on God, but at that time he could speak only the language of the Dogheads. When he saw how much the Christians suffered he was indignant and left the city. He began to adore God and prayed. “Almighty God,” he said, “give me the gift of speech, open my mouth, and make plain thy might that those who persecute thy people may be converted”. An angel of God came to him and said: “God has heard your prayer.”The angel raised Christopher from the ground, and struck and blew upon his mouth, and the grace of eloquence was given him as he had desired.’
Having regretted his former pagan, human-eating habits, St Christopher became baptised. As a result he gained human appearance before getting martyred.
In the 9th century a churchman called Rimbert – who later became the archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen – was planning to leave on a missionary journey to the northern reaches of Scandinavia. The idea of converting Scandinavia to Christianity had been enthusiastically pursued by the Emperor Louis the Pious and Archbishop Ebbo of Rheims in the 820s. In preparation for the journey Rimbert wrote to Ratramnus, a monk of Corbie in Picardy, asking for information regarding the dog-heads, whom he thought he might encounter. Ratramnus had been sent a dossier Rimbert had put together which informed him that the dog-heads lived in villages, practised agriculture and domesticated animals. In response Ratramnus wrote his Epistola de Cynocephalis a work which would answer the question of whether the dog-heads were worthy of evangelism. The issue hinged on whether the mysterious creatures could be considered rational. Ratramnus begins by describing their manner of speaking:
the form of their heads and their canine barking shows that they are similar not to humans but to animals. In fact, the heads of humans are on top and round in order for them to see the heavens, while those of dogs are long and drawn out in a snout so that they can look at the ground. And humans speak, while dogs bark.
And yet, despite their appearance, the information Rimbert had supplied clearly indicated they were capable of domesticating animals. ‘I do not see’ wrote Ratramnus, ‘how this could be so if they had an animal and not a rational soul’:
since the living things of the earth were subjected to men by heaven, as we know from having read Genesis. But it has never been heard or believed that animals of one kind can by themselves take care of other animals, especially those of a domestic kind, keep them, compel them to submit to their rule, and follow regular routines.
Ratramnus pointed to the way in which the dog-heads ‘keep the rules of society’ and recognised the rule of law. ‘There cannot be any law, which common descent has not decreed. But such cannot be established or kept without the discipline of morality’. Unlike Ctesias’s dog-heads, Rimbert’s report stated that they covered their genitalia. Ratramnus interpreted this as a sign of decency and these and others attributes convinced him they were human; in any case, St Christopher had once been one and converted. Hence, Ratramnus concluded that the dog-heads were degenerated descendants of Adam, although the Church generally classed them with beasts. They may even receive baptism by being rained upon. Here Ratramnus was following in the footsteps of Augustine of Hippo, who had written that if the monstrous races do exist, they were created according to God’s will and, if they are human and descended from Adam, they must be capable of salvation. This would extend the Churches missionary obligation to the farthest flung parts of the earth and make ‘monstrous missionising’ a necessary fulfilment of Christ’s charge.
Lest we sneer from our Modern standpoint, it has to be pointed out that Ratramnus is responding to what he thinks is good information from a man who was travelling to Scandinavia, the edge of the known world. In his reply he is using what are recognisably modern anthropological categories to decide whether the dog-heads are man or beast. His work covers issues which were to become extremely pertinent when Europeans came into contact with other peoples in the New World and the debate began concerning whether they had souls capable of salvation and were entitled to equal dignity and universal brotherhood.
In the event, according to Bartlett, one John de Marignollis travelled to the Far East in the 1330s and looked for the monstrous races the ancients had spoken of. He tried to ask the locals about the existence of the dog-heads and other tribes but unfortunately the only response he appears to have got is ‘we thought they lived where you came from’.

| Therianthropy is a concept that can refer to the idea of human-animal shapeshifting in folklore, mythology, and fiction, or to a psychiatric delusion of transforming into an animal. It can also refer to the identity of people who identify as a non-human animal species, rather than as fully human: SOURCE: AI Overview |
| The characteristic of cynocephaly, or cynocephalus (/saɪnoʊˈsɛfəli/), having the head of a canid, typically that of a dog or jackal, is a widely attested mythical phenomenon existing in many different forms and contexts. The literal meaning of cynocephaly is “dog-headedness”; however, that this refers to a human body with a dog head is implied. Such cynocephalics are known in mythology and legend from many parts of the world, including ancient Egypt, India, Greece, and China. Further mentions come from the medieval East and Europe. In modern popular culture cynocephalics are also encountered as characters in books, comics, and graphic novels. Cynocephaly is generally distinguished from lycanthropy (werewolfism) and dogs that can talk.
In addition, the Greeks and Romans called a species of apes cynocephalus SOURCE Perhaps related to the Sasquath? Check out my related posts: spacer Apes and Elephants |

The legend of the vampires of the castle of Farciennes
Whether in literature, in films or even in television series, such as The Vampire Diaries , we have all trembled when immersing ourselves in the stories of these beings who, to survive, must live at night and draw their strength from drinking fresh human blood.
These terrifying stories mostly take place in remote areas, like Romania or the Carpathians, but not this one. This one takes place close to home…
A hair-raising discovery took place in Farciennes, a small village located in Wallonia, near Charleroi. (Royal Olympic Charleroi Chatelet Farciennes U23 Men’s Football Team)
In this village, there once stood a magnificent castle worthy of being called “the little Versailles” by King Louis XIV. Today, charming during the day, sinister at night, these are ruins that cover the territory.
But what happened that was so intriguing in this castle?
The origin of the mystery dates back to the 19th century, in 1851 to be exact, when it was decided to demolish the old chapel of the castle and the cemetery that surrounded it. While removing soil, the tool of one of the workers hit a solid surface, a coffin.
The wood of the macabre box gave way under the blows of the shovels and then bones appeared. They noted that it was the burial of two adults and three children… Probably a family.
A first disturbing detail struck them: the position of the deceased’s head was not aligned with the extension of the body.
A second, even more astonishing detail made their blood run cold: planted in what was once the victims’ chest was a large nail, 68 centimeters long and weighing 2 and a half kilos. (5.51156 pounds)
N
ow, we all know that this practice consisted of planting a nail in the hearts of vampires to prevent them from coming back to haunt our nights. This technique was indeed revealed in the vampire stories of the English writer Bram Stoker, the man behind the character of Dracula. However, his stories would not be known until 1897, almost 50 years after the events at the Château de Farciennes.
How can we explain this extremely strange phenomenon?
We later discovered that these coffins belonged to the family of the owner of the castle, Count Charles-Joseph de Batthyani de Farciennes, in the 18th century. This Batthyani de Farciennes family was originally from Central Europe and had as an ancestor a certain Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, who was nicknamed “son of the dragon”, which in Romanian is… Dracula .

The Howling Werewolf
Wolves hold a somewhat ambiguous place in the Norse spiritual realm. The archenemy of the gods is the giant wolf Fenrir, said to devour Odin at the final battle of Ragnarök. Skoll and Hati are two other giant wolves, older than Fenrir, who pursue the sun and the moon across the sky—and at Ragnarök they, too, shall catch and consume their quarry. On the other hand, we also have Freki and Geri, Odin’s pet wolves, whose role in the cosmos is little known—but their loyalty to their master is never questioned.
Then there are the werewolves—those humans cursed (or blessed?) with the burden (gift?) of lycanthropy, the ability to transform into the form of a wolf. Werewolves in Norse mythology and folklore take a slightly different form than we are used to in modern culture, where they transform only at the full moon and can turn others into werewolves with a bite. In the Norse conception, however, werewolves are not associated with the full moon, nor is lycanthrpoy said to be “contagious”. Instead, human encounters with werewolves are usually lethal, with the werewolf slaying and devouring to its heart’s (or stomach’s) content.
And how does one become a werewolf? The tale above is based on an episode from the Saga of the Volsungs, in which outlaw father and son Sigmund and Sinfjotli come across enchanted wolf pelts while lost in the woods. Donning the skins transforms them into wolves of terrifying size and ferocity, a curse which they must endure for nine nights before transforming back into human form and being able to remove the pelts—but not before Sigmund has, in his bloodlust, tragically ripped out Sinfjotli’s throat. The lesson is that Sigmund and Sinfjotli had not earned the right to wear these powerful artefacts—they took something that did not belong to them, that they did not understand and could not hope to control, and they were overwhelmed.
The good news, then, is that the werewolf transformation might not always be a permanent one. But there are other episodes of people transforming into wolves in which the manner of the transformation is not specified—or whether or not it was involuntary. The ability to transform into a mighty wolf at will might be a very useful skill indeed. And there is some archaeological evidence that such a symbolic transformation might have occurred on the Norse battlefield.
We have all heard of the berserkr (plural: berserkir), often referred to as the “bear warrior”. But in addition to this, we hear also of the ulfhedinn (plural: ulfhednar), the wolf warrior. One hypothesis has it that ulfhednar were a specialised warrior class, who fought with spear and shield and may have worn wolfskin cloaks into battle. It is possible that ulfhednar and berserkir represented champion warriors hand-picked by a king or jarl to serve as elite forces on the battlefield, or as his personal retinue (or hird). Harald Finehair, one of the most famous Viking Age kings of Norway, is said by sagas and poetry to have travelled with a bodyguard unit dressed in wolfskins, who howled, shook their spears, and bit their shields before battle, where they fought valiantly and in disciplined formation. A far cry from the mindless monsters of Sigmund and Sinfjotli’s misadventure, which might suggest that lycanthropy was a skill that had to be mastered, or earned.
As for archaeological evidence, sadly none of these supposed wolf- or bearskin cloaks has been found (although some graves feature bear claws which suggest the person was buried wrapped in a bearskin). However, what we do have are metal stamps and engravings picturing humanoid figures with the heads of wolves, armed with spears and swords. A famous example (pictured above) from the Vendel Period comes from Torslunda on the island of Öland, modern Sweden. The figure accompanying the wolf warrior is identified as Odin due to his missing eye, furthering the connection of wolf warriors with kingly or lordly figures, and of the connection between Odin and wolves. Artefacts bearing a similar wolf warrior motif have been found throughout the Old Germanic world as far back as the Migration Period, and earlier still, Roman sources attest to the presence of so-called “wolf warriors” among the ranks of the German peoples they encountered. It is possible, then, that the ulfhednar of Scandinavia were the Norse version of this ancient custom, and that the legends of human–wolf shapeshifters—werewolves—arose in conjunction with this phenomenon.
Belief in werewolves, or something like them, is unaccountably ancient and widespread, and persisted even into the early modern period. Knut the Great, the Viking king of Denmark, Norway, and England in the early 1000s, felt the need to make specific mention of werewolves in his ecclesiastical law codes. Later, alongside the infamous witch trials in Europe and North America in the 1600s, some people found themselves accused of lycanthropy and ended up subject to the same cruel punishment as alleged witches.
Clearly, then, the human fascination with wolves is an enduring and mixed one. Wolves are viewed both negatively and positively, and an affinity with them is something to be both feared and respected. And so, should you ever find yourself staring up at the moon and hear the howl of a wolf in the distance, remember that that shiver you feel running down your spine is a shiver that has been felt for millennia.

The decline of the wolf in Europe
The extermination of wolves in north-west Europe first became an organized effort as long ago as the Middle Ages. In England, the last wolf was killed in the early 16th century. Wolves survived longer in Scotland – until 1684. The last wolf in Ireland was seen in 1786. Wolves fared better in Scandinavia. The last wolves were exterminated in Sweden (1966) and Norway (1973), while in Finland numbers are currently around 350 individuals.
In Belgium, wolves were fiercely persecuted in the 18th and 19th centuries. Hunting was popular in the country in those days, and many traditional game species were becoming in short supply. This led to conflict between humans and wolves. And the ones holding the guns were always going to win. The last wolf on Belgian soil is said to have been shot in 1898 near Virton.
In Central Europe, wolves were dramatically reduced in number during the early 19th century. The last wolf in Bavaria was killed in 1847, and the wolf was no longer seen in present-day Germany after 1904. It had disappeared in Switzerland before the end of the 19th century.
As of 2017, the grey wolf was listed as regionally extinct in eight European countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK. (All Celtic cultures)
The European Habitats Directive was introduced in 1992 to protect wild animals in Europe. It punishes the killing of wolves

Belgium
While no established wolf populations live in this country, wild wolf pups were born in Belgium in 2020, which was the first time in 150 years that had been the case. And, due to Belgium’s close proximity to countries that do hold wolf populations, wolves may move through and/or establish territories in it. This was proven in 2018 when a female wolf originally from eastern Germany was documented in Belgium. This article tells the story of the wolf and its impact.

Vereinigung zur Wolferhaltung International Wolf Center and wildlife refuge; Moutarde 13, 4831 Limbourg, Belgium ResearchThe Revival of Wolves and other large predators and the impact on famers and their livelihood in rural regions Europe |
| Killing large carnivores is both controversial with the public and professionals (Lute et al. 2018) and likely to face legal challenges where carnivores are listed as strictly protected on the Habitats Directive or the Bern Convention (Linnell et al. 2018). In fact, a recent analysis by Trouwborst (2018) has reasoned that zoning systems that seek to exclude, or severely reduce, large carnivore density as a matter of preemptive policy may not be compatible with legal obligations for such strictly protected species except potentially under very limited circumstances. For species with other annex designations there may be more freedom for interpretation. Zoning is also controversial because it requires breaking ideals of solidarity. It implies that some people will have to live with carnivores while others will not. Making decisions about these issues are likely to be highly controversial. Non-lethal ways of removing large carnivores are largely inefficient and impractical. There is only place in captivity for a handful of individuals. There are far too many large carnivores to contemplate using fertility control methods. Translocation of animals (capturing alive and releasing in another area) has been repeatedly shown to not work because of the tendency of released animals to return to the capture site (Linnell et al. 1997). |
| Aversive conditioning The principle of aversive conditioning is that carnivores experiencing a negative stimulus when attacking livestock will associate the negative stimulus with livestock and not attack livestock again. The negative stimuli which have been tested include chemicals that induce vomiting (or at least taste bad) placed on carcasses, electric shock collars placed on predators, shooting predators with rubber bullets or exploding cracker shell, and using livestock guarding dogs (Smith et al. 2000; Shivik 2006; Hawley et al. 2009). Tests in captivity have taught individual carnivores to avoid eating carcasses but success at stopping them from killing living livestock has been minimal. Furthermore, no field trials have been successful (Landa et al. 1998; Smith et al. 2000; Shivik et al. 2003; Shivik 2006). To work, aversive condition needs to be applied continually to every individual carnivore of each species that depredates livestock. The hope that an individual might teach other members of its social group to avoid livestock has no field support, implying that every year all new members of each generation would need to be taught. It is therefore very unlikely to see such an approach having any success or practical application. |
So you see, they have been doing extensive studying, experimenting and testing related to placing LARGE CARNIVORE PREDATORS back into society. Forcing defenseless humans to CO-EXIST with them.

Werewolf Fact #58 – Wolves are Big, Werewolves are Bigger
So there is this common misconception that “wolves are the size of dogs, like a husky.”
That is extremely untrue. Wolves are big. They are bigger than you think. People like to say “take your concept of a wolf’s size and double it, and maybe you have something close.” That’s pretty true – except it probably still isn’t big enough.
Remember those stories about wolves swallowing people whole? There are precedents for that. Don’t worry, though, they won’t actually do it. But a wolf can easily fit a grown adult’s head in its mouth. They can fit the rest of you, too, technically speaking. Again, where “wolfing down your food” comes from.
The size of wolves varies by species, as you might imagine, but there is this common misconception that they are “small” predators, especially in video games. That’s patently ridiculous. Of course, many aspects of wolves in video games are ridiculous, like all the barking and the fact that they always brainlessly attack you, but anyway–
Many photos that exhibit the great size of wolves are hunting photos, however, and I outright refuse to post anything like that on this blog, so if you’re that morbidly curious, you can search for those yourself. Here, we have nice wolf pictures.
The “average” wolf stands around 2.8 to 3 feet at the shoulder and 6+ feet long. They are the largest canids.
However, it’s very important to bear in mind how much this varies by species. Some wolves are bigger, like Mackenzie Valley wolves, and some are smaller. Arctic wolves, for instance, along with Italian wolves and especially Arabian wolves, range in smaller sizes. And, of course, like people, some individuals are smaller and some are bigger.
But what people will think of as the “average” wolf – like a Northern Rocky Mountain wolf – is positively enormous.
(this is a young wolf at a sanctuary, by the way; he may have gotten even bigger after these videos were taken)
Some of the largest wolves recorded are over 7 feet long and range more around 4 feet at the shoulder. Take that, turn it into a human-shaped muscular mythic werewolf standing on its hind legs, and you get something much, much bigger.
To put it simply, wolves are bigger than the overwhelming majority of grown men. They are certainly much bigger than your dog. Much, much bigger. (Fun fact: their brains are also over 3x bigger than domestic dogs)
Supposedly, hunters have killed wolves even bigger than these various approximations and generalizations, killing wolves of even greater heights and lengths (and weighing over 600 lbs). Some wolves like these have, in fact, been recorded, but they are very unusual and also plenty of them could very much be big fish stories because, you know, hunters. Again, though, a reminder to bear in mind that genetics let the sizes of animals vary wildly, puns intended, so all of these are generalizations. And genetic engineering can create HUMUNGOUS specimens!
(Romeo, a young black wolf with a touching but tragic story)
And now, what about folklore werewolves?
Werewolves in folklore are frequently described as even bigger – vastly so – than ordinary wolves. This isn’t always the case – size isn’t always specified – but frequently, werewolves are said to be the size of large horses or even bigger, or a nonspecific variation of “enormous,” “huge,” etc.
For instance, in Arthur and Gorlagon, the werewolf is described thusly: “this enormous wolf (for they had never seen any of so vast a size)”
So, for werewolves? Take wolves, which are already huge, and make that even bigger!
(this is actually a wolfdog, but the point remains – it gets its size from the wolf blood)
So now you know! Never underestimate the size of a wolf again – and remember, wolves just like people, some are smaller, some are larger, and it varies by individual. It’s all about genetics. But on average? Wolves are much, much bigger than you think!

It includes being dropped off in the middle of nowhere and having to make it back to camp with limited supplies.The terrain map they are given includes sketches of dangerous wildlife they might see in their journey, including things like cougars, bobcats, black bears and… Sasquatch?
Some think this map is just a joke of some kind, a moment of levity in others very serious survival training. But that doesn’t exactly sound like the way the Air Force does things, now does it?
So…what do they know, and why are they keeping it from us?

Scientists have been experimenting with GENETIC ENGINEERING long before 1983. By 1983, they were already dealing with negative feedback from society, fear and anxiety regarding the repercussions of this kind of activity. CRISPR was the weapon that will ultimate destroy US… I don’t mean the USA…. I mean everyone on earth!!
“science” and technology known as Genetic Manipulation: The first video is very informative. It was presented at an Open Mind Conference, on January 10, 1983. It was hosted by a gentleman named Richard Heffner and is comprised of his interview with a gentleman named Lewis Thomas, Chancellor of the Cancer Institute and Dean of the Medical Schools at NYU and Yale University. They are discussing the topic and concerns the public had raised about the safety and ethics of this technology (Genetic Manipulation, in use long before 1983) and its ramification for the future.

From driving species to extinction to selectively breeding pets and farm animals to new technologies like genetic engineering and cloning,it’s impossible to ignore the impact that humans are having on life on the planet today. Helen Pilcher is a science writer and comedian whose latest book,Life Changing, explores how humans have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of the species living alongside us on the planet.You might think this is a relatively modern phenomenon but, as Helen discovered while writing the book, our influence on animals goes back a long way.
Helen: It goes back thirty, thirty five thousand years to the very first species where we can put our finger on it and say, yeah, we actually started changing this species. So this story has sort of very, very ancient roots and you may possibly, at some point in this interview, hear a small whimpering or yipping or growling. That’s not coming from me, that’s coming from my genetically modified Wolf. So I do own a genetically modified Wolf and it’s the descendant of one of these very first creatures that humans modified.
Helen: So the first creature that we ever modified deliberately was the Grey Wolf, that’s where it all starts, this whole story. Thirty five thousand years ago, humans domesticated the Grey Wolf, and we didn’t just go out there and deliberately decide to change this animal, but that’s effectively what we did. There was this tightening relationship between our ancestors and this apex predator, and as this relationship tightened, it was beneficial for both of us.
Helen: What we found was that these animals started to change. They changed in terms of their body shape, they changed in terms of their behaviour and as the relationship became even more intimate and we welcomed these Wolves into our homes and, with selective breeding of course, in the 18th century, we started to shape these animals even more profoundly. So this genetically modified Wolf who’s now slumbering at my feet, is now so far removed from the Grey Wolf that he barks at bin bags and refuses to go out in the rain. (First of all, they are totally burying the truth that the Fallen Angels perverted and polluted the DNA of everything on the earth! They then taught humans how to do the same.)
Kat: You start being like a mighty hunter through the forest, and then you ended up being a pug in a birthday hat. That’s evolution for you. (That is not evolution, that is science/magick perverting God’s creation.)
Helen: That’s it Isn’t it? That’s what we’ve done. We did that.
Kat: And that’s maybe not what we would think of when we hear the term genetically modified, you think of all the stuff we have now, like CRISPR and cloning and all of these kinds of things. But like you say, as soon as humans can take two animals and put them together in a way that they can breed together or two animals that then can’t breed together, you are starting to selectively choose what these animals are going to look like and the characteristics that you want.
Helen: I mean, that’s absolutely right. So I mean, I call my dog my genetically modified Wolf, but that is exactly what he is. So he looks and acts very differently to a Wolf, but genetically he is different. So there’s this tiny amount of DNA that sets him and all other dogs aside from Wolves, and yet it is enough to imbue them with this vastly different suite of characteristics. And scientists will have a very, very precise definition of what they mean by the term “genetic modification”, but if you take it in the broader sense and you say this is a manipulation of DNA caused by humans over time, then dogs really are genetically modified wolves,
Helen: And I find it really, really interesting because when you talk to people about GM animals or GM food hackles raised and people have these very extreme views sometimes. And I find it really interesting because if you were to say to somebody, “look, I’ve got this friend who works in the lab and they’ve got this idea to make this animal and it’s going to be a new kind of dog, it’s going to be really chunky and really hefty and it’s going to have a really thick neck, it’s neck is probably going to be so thick that it won’t be able to be born naturally, and it’s going to have all these winkling folds of flesh around his face. So it’ll have this really cute face with a flattened nose, but probably It’ll have dreadful breathing conditions, and maybe you might need to have surgery on this dog to keep it healthy” So if I told you that a scientist was going to create this, you’d go, “Whoa, bad idea, put the brakes on now” And yet what I’ve just described to you is the English bulldog.
Helen: And so we have created this animal, beautiful individual dogs, lovely personalities, but hugely flawed in terms of its overall design. And that’s something that we created as a species through selective breeding, through choosing the characteristics, the most extreme characteristics, that we liked the most and getting individuals with those characteristics to breed. And then we ended up with these animals that would never survive in the wild,that barely survive sometimes in a domestic setting because of the characteristics that we’ve given them. If she is using this to justify genetic modification using CRSPER she is not making a very good case. Every time science messes with God’s creation it ends up a disastrous mess.
Helen: So we’ve used this genetic modification in the form of selective breeding for good in terms of all the domestic animals that we’ve created that manage, just about, to feed the population. There’s another suite of problems there, but that’s another story. So on the one hand, many beneficial characteristics, but on the other hand, we’ve created this animal welfare blind spot where we’re prepared to overlook some of the suffering that we cause the animals that we’ve alteredbecause it suits our purpose. So it’s a whole mixed bag I think.
Kat: I’ll never forget going to a conference, I think it was a Genetics Society conference, where someone started their talk, talking about selective breeding and cattle with a picture of a dairy cow in the 1940s. Humans have domesticated cows for ten thousand years or more, we’ve had dairy farming as a species. But in the 1940s it looks like a toy cow, like a nice, neat looking cow, and then they showed a picture of today’s dairy cows and there’s enormous udders and it looks like this weird super cow and there’s no genetic modification in the lab of any kind. This has just been achieved through selective breeding over even just decades and it is a real example of the power that we have to transform species. She claims there was no modification in the lab, however, there has been much experimentation in labs over the years especially from the 1940’s onward. The livestock has been altered through vaccines, through feed, through Hormone Therapy, and more than likely through DNA modifications.
Helen: Yeah. I mean, it really is. So Holstein Dairy Cows today make four times the amount of milk that they did in the 1960s and that isn’t us tinkering with CRISPR or any of the other modern molecular techniques. This is pure selective breeding, with a bit of artificial insemination thrown in. This is another technique that rose to power. It’s a way of flooding the genes of a few through the population of many. And because of this, we’re seeing these domestic farm animals with really extreme behaviour. You also get some real quirky behaviour and quirky lookspopping up as well. One of the things that some of your listeners might like to do is go on YouTube and Google something called the fainting goats. Have you come across fainting goats?
Kat: I have come across fainting goats and they are adorable.
Helen: They are, there’s something quite wrong about watching them though Isn’t there? It feels a bit voyeuristic. So, these goats, they were first spotted on a farm in Tennessee. I think, well, over a century ago and these goats they’re going about their everyday business, they’re cute and adorable, and then something, anything, spooks them and they go flat as that, they go really stiff, don’t they? And then they fall over, like you’re pushing over a plank of wood, and then they lay there on the ground with their four little stiff legs sticking out, and then after a minute or two, they jumped back up and they were absolutely fine.
Helen: And it turned out that randomly a mutation popped up in a gene that controls muscle contraction. And people started selectively breeding these animals together. And farmers actually found that they quite liked the animals because they didn’t have to fence their enclosures as thoroughly. Because if their goats wandered off, they’d get spooked, they’d fall over and they could pick them up and bring them back again. And so if you go on YouTube and if you Google fainting goats, you’ve got all sorts of these wonderful goats set to music, just getting spooked and falling over. And it feels so wrong to watch them yet. They are somehow completely adorable.
Kat: Are there any other examples where human intervention in this kind of breeding has had maybe unintended consequences?
Helen: Well it’s quite interesting. So, sometimes you get mutations that crop up at random and people capitalise on this. So in parts of Africa in South Africa in particular trophy hunting is big business and you have sort of the standard Gnu or Wildebeest, which is a sort of black/grey colour, but every now and then you get these weird colour morphs that crop up. So they’ve got different coloured hides and they’re a golden gnu and they crop up at random. They have this beautiful golden hide and then people, breeders, trophy hunters, people who supply the trophy hunting business,started breeding these individuals together to create golden gnu because they thought people would pay really, really handsomely to go out and shoot them. So if you are a gnu this isn’t great, right? Because any natural camouflage that you’ve got has disappeared.And on top of that, you’ve got people looking at you down the lens of a rifle taking aim.
Helen: But it’s a really interesting story actually, because it was really a case of people not doing their market research in advance because all these suppliers of the trophy industry put their money on these weird colour morphs. And then all these American hunters who have no morals at all when it comes to shooting a wild animal in a reserve. went “hang on a minute, that’s not natural, that’s a bit weird. I’m not really sure I want to kill that. I want to kill a normal looking gnu” So they anticipated that the value of these animals would absolutely rocket and then it turned out that they’d backed a bit of a red herring, a bit of a lame duck in the end. And so now there are apparently a lot of these weird colour morphs around on reserves in South Africa and nobody really knows quite what to do with them.
Kat: Poor things, so rather than a lame duck, a golden gnu. We should start saying that.
Helen: Yeah, absolutely.
Kat: And now moving on. So we’ve talked about the ways that humans have just used natural breeding, selective breeding, and maybe a little helping hands in the form of artificial insemination. But what about when it does come to the genetic modification?Because this is just something that seems to have exploded in recent years,being able to genetically modify animals, clone animals, cloning pets, cloning racehorses, all these kinds of things.How is this actually shaping species and, maybe a bit more philosophically, our idea of what we can do with animals.
Helen: I think what we’re seeing now, sticking within the realm of things that we are altering deliberately, so deliberate change caused by us, we’re seeing tools spilling out of the lab that have been used for research purposes, spilling out into commercial application.So cloning, for example, you mentioned cloning is being used by people who want to have a copy of their pet dog mate. There are indeed cloned polo ponies thundering up and down the polo fields of Argentina, there are working dogs in South Korea, It’s actually quite routine now, there are many hundreds of copies of working dogs, sniffer dogs. So if you ever find yourself having your luggage sniffed at Seoul Incheon airport, the chances are as being sniffed by a cloned animal because they perform so well.
Helen: So we’re seeing cloning being used commercially and then in terms of gene editing, we’re seeing all sorts of things. So you can buy pets that have been gene edited. So there are some beautiful little tropical fish that go under the trade name of glow fish, and these are classic little tropical fish like Danios and Zebrafish, but they’ve got genes from coral and jellyfish in them. So they glow all these amazing colours of the rainbow. So here’s extreme GM where we’ve taken the genes from one species and put them into another.
Helen: We’ve had genetically modified crops for a long time, but the very first GM animal food stuff went on the market recently in the form of a transgenic salmon. So there’s a salmon that’s on sale in Canada that contains the added genes of not one but two different fish species. And it was created because it grows much bigger, much more quickly than the average salmon and consumes a lot less feed along the way. And lots of big issues around this, not least of all, do people want to eat this? But you’ve got really bizarre things, people are looking at using genetic modification to make animals that produce maybe medicines also materials. So one of my favourite examples is the spider goat, which I’m sure you’ve covered.
Kat: We have covered the spider goats in one of our very first episodes.
Helen: So spider goats, super briefly then, they make spider proteins in their milk. And maybe one day we could use these spider proteins to make cables for suspension bridges or panels for drones or cars, things that sound really far out and crazy. However conceptually, I don’t have a huge problem with this because these goats are really, really super healthy. They’re really well looked after. Compare that with the average broiler chicken. So your average chicken that’s been reared for meat which has not been genetically modified in the laboratory sense of the word. It hasn’t had any genes from another species added, (They have been pumped full of steroids and other Hormonal Therapy) but it’s accelerated growth rate means that these adult animals, if you didn’t kill them at four weeks old would struggle to stand, would probably die from some sort of organ system failure. So you’ve got, from an animal welfare perspective, I have huge problems with that.The spider goats, they’re pretty happy from what I can see you milk them regularly. They don’t ping out a parachute or anything, they don’t spin a web.
Kat: We should stress that these are not spider goats flying out webs out of there udders, it’s just the protein in the milk.
Helen: Yeah. So, you know, It’s quite phenomenal really, when you think about the scope of GM.But you can pull out these examples and they are quite niche and they make headlines because they’re so exciting, and so super interesting, but they’re a drop in the ocean. One of the things that interested me in the book massively is, we so far have been talking about the modifications that we’ve made deliberately, be it through domestication or through CRISPR, but one of the things that I realised in the course of researching the book is actually what we’re doing now is we’re altering all life on earth. So we currently now through our action as a species collectively on the planet, we are altering the evolution. We are genetically modifying, if you like, pretty much every single living thing on earth, everything is changing because of our actions.
Helen: And there may be some microbe deep down under the ice in Antarctica is blissfully unaware of our actions, but I don’t think this innocence will last. And so what I’m talking about here is things like climate change, and habitat loss, and pollution, and poaching it’s changing evolution. And one of the fascinating things is that when Darwin thought about evolution all those years ago, he imagined it was this really slow process that it happened over millennia or tens of millennia or much bigger sort of geological timeframes, and that you couldn’t see it happening within the human lifetime. And we realise now that that is true sometimes. But when you go through these periods of intense global change, like we are going through now, evolution speeds up. So we’re beginning to see changes to the animal world around us that are happening within human lifespans. They’re happening quickly.
Helen: So many examples, I’m sitting here looking out in my garden and I’ve got a bird feeder outside of my window and it’s visited by great tits and there was a study that showed that great tits are evolving longer beaks in the UK because of their preference for feeding from bird feeders. So we’re altering their evolution when we feed them. In America, we’re seeing cliff swallows are evolving shorter wings in response to building their nests next to busy roads and the ones that can survive dodging in and out of the traffic whilst they’re feeding are the ones that get to pass their genes on the ones that do that best are the ones with slightly shorter wings. And the more you look around, you can pick out so many of these examples that are out there and you realise that we’re seeing change right in front of our eyes and evolution is speeding up.
Helen: So I think when I started the book, I was imagining that there would be this very precise “We’ve done this and this and this.” But what I realise now is that there’s this massive, widespread global change.And we need to be really, really aware of that because it means we’re going to have winners and losers. We’re losing species, they’re falling through our fingers like sand, but the species that can evolve quickly, that can adapt, are changing. So the world will look very, very different in five or ten thousand years time. And it’s the scale and the pace of that change I think that I wasn’t really aware of until I sat down and thought about it. I thought that the birds that came to my feeder now were pretty much identical to the ones that used to come to the feeder when I was a kid, but they’ve already changed. You know, it’s phenomenal the rate of change that we’re seeing.
Kat: Helen Pilcher, and her book Life Changing: How humans are altering life on earth is out now.

For years truthers have been warning you, but the powers that be have been telling you it was all ridiculous “Conspiracy Theories”. Well, they are not even denying it anymore… yet you still believe those who have been lying to you for centuries.
They have been engineering YOUR DEATHS! Changing animals into deadly killers, breading pandemics and endemics and all kinds of fungi, bacteria and diseases to wipe you out, as well as creating hybrids of every possible kind, and putting human brain material in to predators like sharks and whales as well as dolphins to use them as weapons against you.
They have been stirring up radical, vicious terrorists groups and placing them among you… to wipe you out!!
It is too late to stop what is coming… but it is not too late to turn to GOD and find salvation!!
HUMANS without GOD… behave like mindless, selfish animals!! They have no conscience, no moral code. They do not value life at all… not animal or human. The bible says that all who hate GOD, LOVE DEATH.
Why? Because they are of their FATHER the DEVIL!!!
LOVE can only come from GOD. Anything outside of FAITH IN THE CREATOR will only bring EVIL. The thief comes but TO KILL, STEAL and DESTROY!!
John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again,Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

A Veteran Reveals the Military’s Most Shocking Secret Yet
These animals are crudely used as “stand-ins” for wounded soldiers, even though their anatomy and physiology differ tremendously.
Each year, medics intentionally injure thousands of live animals before eventually killing them.
Live pigs are shot in the face, repeatedly stabbed, and set on fire.
Live goats have their legs cut off with tree trimmers.
Goats are also stabbed repeatedly …
… and have their internal organs pulled out.
Sometimes goats wake up during the horrible exercises because they aren’t given enough anesthetics.
Participants joke about maiming goats …
… and wave around a severed goat limb.
These trauma exercises put soldiers’ lives at risk, as experts agree that the drills don’t adequately prepare medics to treat humans in the field.
“No animal model can adequately duplicate the anatomy and physiology of injuries inflicted upon the human body in war.”
—Michael P. Murphy, M.D.
Veteran, Operation Iraqi Freedom
Associate Professor of Surgery and Cellular & Integrative Physiology, Indiana University School of Medicine
Chief, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center
Even the Department of Defense’s own regulations mandate that non-animal simulators must be used when available.
Simulators like these are already in use at several military trauma training facilities and more than 98 percent of civilian medical training centers.
More than 80 percent of the U.S.’ NATO allies do not use any animals for military medical training. Instead, they use lifelike simulators and other non-animal training methods.
And Germany has repeatedly blocked the U.S. Army from conducting trauma exercises using animals within German borders on the grounds that simulators are superior.
But the U.S. military continues to torture and kill thousands of loving, playful, and intelligent goats and pigs each year, needlessly.
*****
Please take a moment to contact military officials in Canada, Norway, Denmark, and the U.K. and politely urge them to stop harming and killing animals by joining the overwhelming majority of their NATO allies who use exclusively modern non-animal methods for military medical training exercises.
