Lots
of folks followed the World Series this season because of the Houston Astros’
being in it. Their winning means a great
deal for the disaster-weary city, we are told:
The
Astros took home their first ever World Series title Wednesday night,
dedicating their historic win to the city that rallied behind them after being
devastated by Hurricane Harvey in late August.
After the Astros' 5-1 win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles, emotions ran high on
and off the field, and many of the players had a message for their city.
Justin Verlander, the star pitcher who was traded to the Astros just two months
ago, said he "absolutely" embraced doing this for the city of
Houston.
"We embraced that and the fans
embraced us to be able to do this for them, I mean it's something
special," Verlander told ABC News. "What an incredible city that I
joined. They made me feel at home right away and I'm so happy for us, I'm so
happy for them, this is a great experience for everyone."
. . .
The city of Houston
will honor the World Series champs with a parade on Friday in celebration of
the team's first MLB championship victory, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said.
"It's a true
privilege to proudly host this magnificent salute to our hometown team that has
earned history," said Turner. "As we bounce back from Hurricane
Harvey, we are more than ready to welcome our heroes home in proper form."
The parade begins at
2 p.m. local time and will go through the downtown area, celebrating Houston's
strength.

If
this were an isolated event, we would feel sorry for the secularization of
Houston’s collective life, that a baseball game is all they have to rally
around during difficult times. But that would be about the extent of it.
But
this is not an isolated event.
There
are other instances of major sports victories in cities that experienced devastating
events:
-The
Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl just before the Columbine High School (in a
suburb of Denver) shooting in 1999.
-In
2001 the New York Yankees made it to the World Series after the World Trade
Center attack in NYC.
-The
Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010 after New Orleans underwent Hurricane Katrina
in 2006 (if anyone doubts the connection, here is a quote from the story
above: ‘New Orleans Saints quarterback
Drew Brees, who led his team to a championship four years after the devastation
of Hurricane Katrina, also hailed the hometown heroes. “Congrats to the #HoustonAstros and city of
Houston for the World Series win last night. Magical!”’).
-The
Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2013 shortly after the Boston Marathon bombing.
Even
Puerto Rico is apparently supposed to be feeling better after Houston’s win:
After 20 years in the
majors, Puerto Rican native Carlos Beltran finally celebrated a championship.
Puerto Rico was also devastated by a storm recently, when Hurricane Maria swept
through in September. Beltran said he was humbled by the timing of the win and
opportunity to bring their fans joy.
"Having this
opportunity to be a world champion really means a lot and I thank God. I give
God the glory and the honor for this moment. I'm excited not only for the city
of Houston, but also for the country of Puerto Rico," Beltran said.

What
is going on here? Is this coincidence,
or are these teams ‘rising to the occasion’, etc.? That seems very unlikely, seeing how the
globalist Elite have weaponized nearly every aspect of cultural life:
What
is more likely is that this repeating cycle of mass trauma and mass healing (a
cycle which the Elite have a hand in creating) is being used by these evil
Elite to condition people to accept Antichrist.
Hieromonk Damascene, for ensample, has written in his afterword to Blessed
Fr Seraphim Rose’s Orthodoxy and the
Religion of the Future (5th edn) about the mass Luciferian initiations
that the Elite have in store to further ‘The Plan’ (pgs. 209-10, 225) of one
world government.
These
euphoric sports ‘triumphs’ that have come after some great tragedy only help further
that end by creating a deeply moving spiritual ‘experience’ outside of the
Orthodox Church: outside of the
Eucharist, asceticism, and the other normative practices the Apostles and Holy
Fathers have given us to follow in order to have a real encounter with God.
And
with new traumas in Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, there is every reason to
believe that more mass healings/initiations, whatever form they may take, are in
store soon.
