A YOUNG British woman is in a Sri Lankan jail, accused of trying to smuggle a disturbing new drug called kush into the country.
Kush comes from West Africa, where it’s reportedly the cause of about a dozen overdose deaths a week in Sierra Leone. It’s made of synthetic cannabis, opioids—and, reportedly, ground human bone.
The accused woman, 21-year-old Charlotte May of South London, was stopped at the airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka with 100 pounds of kush in her luggage with a street value of about $3.3 million. May claims she doesn’t know how it got into her bags. We make no judgment on Ms. May; it’s possible she was an unwitting drug mule. What’s disturbing about this story is that human bones are reportedly incorporated into this drug, and that it’s apparently being shipped around the world.
We also discuss a recent case from South Africa, where a woman and two accomplices were sentenced to life in prison this week for selling her then-6-year-old daughter for $1,100 last year to a traditional healer who wanted to harvest the girl’s skin and eyes—green, a relative rarity in South Africa—for ritual purposes.
The world is returning to pre-Christian paganism at the same time it’s drawing closer to World War 3. Early this week, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared that the US, UK, and Germany has removed all restrictions on how weapons supplied to Ukraine can be used in NATO’s proxy war with Russia. This has not been confirmed by the United States or United Kingdom, and even Germany’s own Defense Ministry has not confirmed the change in how its missiles can be used. However, it seems that Europe’s Big Three—Germany, France, and the UK—are bound and determined to provoke open war with Russia, and top drag the United States into it whether the American people want it or not.
In our view, this is the work of principalities and powers behind the scenes trying to set the stage for the emergence of a false savior, the Antichrist.
