The big question is this: Is everyone seeing August forming like I am, or am I just seeing things? Let’s start with the church + death theme to get an update, and holy cow…what an update it is (no pun intended)…
First, it’s worth quoting some material from the latest Project August report:
“But we aren’t done yet with the church meme. There’s a lower possibility that this is all metaphoric for something bigger. Maybe a big church goes bankrupt or a whole line of religious thinking is somehow debunked. The fact that the death meme is so diverse around the church in these dreams, makes me think that there’s something bigger at play here, something that will change the course of human religion.”
The big question now is whether our Project August dreams/DreamBot actually predicted something major in August relating to the next few headlines, or did they simply predict these headlines?
This is the same question we’ve had for our growing list of Project August hits. For example, is something really going down at BundyFest, or did our dreams just predict those headlines? Is something really going down in South America and Argentina’s refusal to pay back our predatory debt, or did our dreams just predict the headlines? This can be said for another 15 or so memes in our Project August material.
And now, it’s the church + death meme. Read the following recent headlines and determine for yourself whether something is going down in August or did we simply predict these headlines? Either, way, I find the following material both vitally important and unmistakably relevant to the predictions.
Headline 1: Another shake-up looms at troubled Vatican bank
By John L. Allen Jr.
| Globe Staff June 30, 2014
An interior view of the Vatican bank in Vatican city.
As a new Council for the Economy created by Pope Francis to oversee reform in Vatican finances prepares to meet this week, the troubled Vatican bank appears set for its second shake-up in two years with the imminent departure of its president, German businessman Ernst von Freyberg.
Officials confirmed the move to the Globe on Monday, but disagreed as to whether it’s a routine part of restructuring efforts or if alleged irregularities are involved.
While struggling to avoid impressions of a crisis, Vatican officials also find themselves playing down accusations in the Italian press that a shadowy “Maltese lobby” led by economist Joseph F.X. Zahra of Malta, vice coordinator of the new council, is attempting to take control of Vatican assets, presumably for motives of financial gain.
Speaking on background, Vatican officials insist the reports are either false or exaggerated.
Officials not authorized to speak on the record said von Freyberg’s exit could be finalized as early as this week, following a meeting the Council for the Economy will hold Saturday. Eight cardinals, including Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, make up that body, along with seven lay members.
The leading candidate to take over at the bank, technically known as the Institute for the Works of Religion, is said to be French financier Jean-Baptise de Franssu, who served on a panel to study the Vatican’s financial systems created by the pontiff in 2013 and who currently sits on the Council for the Economy.

Headline 2: Vatican bank chairman to step down
By Giulia Segreti in Rome and Rachel Sanderson in Milan
(same sort of material, but keep in mind throughout this whole discussion that it was the big chairman stepping down…that’s huge!)
Peter Farquhar Jul 2, 2014, 1:49 PM Bookmark
The clean-out at the Vatican bank has reportedly claimed its second chairman in two years, with Ernst von Freyberg expected to resign next week.
The appointment of von Freyberg, a German lawyer and financier, was approved by Pope Benedict XVI in the days leading up to his resignation in 2012.
He replaced Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, who was removed by the bank’s directors after it was discovered a Rome bank account registered to the Vatican bank (then known as the Institute for the Works of Religion) held 23 million euro of allegedly laundered cash.
Since then, the Vatican has made a very public effort to clean up the perception of its bank.
Earlier this month, Pope Francis appointed a former security adviser for counter-terrorism to US President George W. Bush, Juan Zarate, to the Vatican’s Financial Information Authority.
(Hold the phones: Bush’s terrorist dude is now a Vatican Financial “Authority” OMG! More info can be seen at the link above)
Headline 4: New changes looming at the Vatican bank?
Catholic World News – July 01, 2014
New major changes at the Vatican bank, including the replacement of the institution’s president, will be announced imminently, according to media reports.
John Allen of the Boston Globe, citing informed sources at the Vatican, said that Ernst von Freyberg will soon leave his post as president of the Institute for Religious Works (IOR). The change could come within a week, Allen reported.
The Vatican has not commented on the reports, but a Reuters story, citing anonymous Vatican sources, essentially confirmed Allen’s report.
Ernst von Freyburg, a German lawyer, was appointed president of the IOR in February 2013. He replaced Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, who was abruptly ousted by the IOR’s board in May 2012, at a time when the Vatican bank was under severe critical scrutiny because European banking regulators had found that the institution was vulnerable to money-laundering because of inadequate financial safeguards.
An official announcement about new changes at the IOR could be made at the conclusion of this week’s meetings of the Council of Cardinals, which run through July 4.
(The highlighted sentence makes me think that this is actually a permanent hole, or a glaringly unfixable problem at the Vatican. Could the whole house of cards fall in August? Holy Cow (sorry, recycled pun).
Headline 5: Vatican financial watchdog signs accord with U.S. Treasury Department
Josephine McKenna | Jun 30, 2014 | 1 Comment
VATICAN CITY (RNS) In its latest bid to tackle corruption and increase transparency, the Vatican’s financial watchdog has signed a bilateral accord to exchange information with its counterpart in the U.S.
The Institute for the Works of Religion, more commonly known as the Vatican Bank, is housed inside the Bastion of NIcholas V, the rounded structure on the right, shown in this model of the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican Museums.
On Monday (June 30), officials with the Financial Information Authority announced it endorsed the agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, an independent body in the U.S. Treasury Department responsible for regulating and supervising domestic and foreign banks.
This is the latest example of the authority’s efforts to build international cooperation and prevent a repeat of the corruption scandals that have engulfed the Vatican bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works.
(A bombshell in the works here? Do we now have the fox inside the henhouse? What I’ve learned the most throughout the recent years is that wherever you see the word “transparency,” that only guarantees you will see LESS of it! There’s more info to this story…link is above).
Headline 6: Vatican Financial Intelligence Authority signs agreement with USA
Posted: Tuesday, July 1, 2014 12:33 am
Vatican Financial Intelligence Authority signs agreement with USA | Autorità di Informazione Finanziaria, AIF, Financial Intelligence Authority of the Holy See and Vatican City State, US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, OCC,
The Autorità di Informazione Finanziaria(AIF), the Financial Intelligence Authority of the Holy See and Vatican City State, has signed an agreement to exchange information with the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
This Information Sharing Exchange of Letters is the first bilateral agreement of AIF in its role as Financial Supervisor and Regulator within the Holy See and Vatican City State. It represents a significant strengthening of international cooperation between the Holy See and the United States of America. “This is a further step in Holy See’s efforts towards perfecting a system of financial regulation and part of our commitment to transparency and international cooperation,” said Rene Bruelhart, the Director of AIF. “The Holy See is part of the global family of well-regulated jurisdictions and the signing of this agreement reflects that very clearly.”
The agreement with the OCC follows the passing of the new law regarding financial activities in the Holy See, Law XVIII, in October 2013 and the enactment of AIF’s new statute in November 2013, which introduced a new supervisory function as part of AIF’s mandate. AIF expects further bilateral agreements with financial supervisors and regulators of other countries to follow in due course, and continues in its efforts to strengthen its own regulatory infrastructure in fostering international cooperation.The OCC is an independent authority within the Treasury Department of the United States and serves to charter, regulate and supervise all national banks and the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks in the United States.
AIF is the competent authority of the Holy See and Vatican City State to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
(I stop the snippet here. Hold the phones. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? This article admits the connection between “financing terrorism” and the Holy See AND Vatican City State! What am I missing here? Is this going to blow up in August? Holy See sees another Holy Cow!)
Okay, that’s all I want to provide for now. This week is HUGE over in Vatican City, while all of us get high on firework fumes. Do me a favor, do your own due diligence to see if I missed anything. There are at least 2 full pages of recent Google headlines, so I’m sure I’ve missed something here.
BundyFest Watch
Can you feel this one developing? I can, and apparently, CNBC can as well:

(Need I include any more? The headline speaks for itself…just a matter of time, folks, so is August the month when the powder keg blows?)”
3D Printing Trouble?
So far, there are TONS of positive 3D headlines. TONS! Every single day, another batch of amazing 3D printing-related headlines. So far, the gun and terrorist connection with 3D printing is abated, but lookie how some of these headlines are eeking ever closer to the dreamed scenario…
1: A 3D printer that replicates itself!
2: From printing food to printing self-replications!
3: 3D printer constructs 10 buildings in one day from recycled materials
On this last one, it seems almost like we’re introduced into a whole new socio-economic paradigm. Do we really need jobs anymore to pay for houses? Just go to the dump and get some scraps. The second article implies that grocery stores are a thing of the past. What’ll they come up with next….ISIS insurgents in Montana replicating weapons from metal scraps?
I mean, we really do desperately need another terror war to keep the current paradigm going, but this is ever so vital also: we need to vilify the 3D printer before it overtakes the current economic paradigm. I’m telling you guys…watch out, because I’d be very surprised if the 3D Printer isn’t already on the elite’s target list.
Oh yeah, speaking of ISIS:
ISIS on high alert
Not only has our American ISIS corporation gone literally viral around the internet (in other words, EVERYONE is picking up on the fact that ISIS has just as much to do with an American mercenary force as it has to do with Syria and Iraq), we have readers with even more ISIS memes just popping up everywhere…
Isis #1 (Email)
Chris,
Pointing out a profound meaning –
Isis is in “crisis”….
Crisis – http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/crisis
1. a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something, esp in a sequence of events or a disease
2. an unstable period, esp one of extreme trouble or danger in politics, economics, etc
Encyclopedia
crisis
(Greek: “ladder”), in dramatic and nondramatic fiction, the point at which the highest level of interest and emotional response is achieved.
With the mucho millions of ISIS searches/results found, I’d say there is great meaning to that word/language, tying it in with “crisis”, a turning point.
And, since we know words are spelled (are a spell), are a specific frequency, and ISIS is root of the word crisis, thus the implications of the word/Acronym ISIS, considering the frequency would be a match for “crisis” by definition. It definitely feels with all that is going on, we are at a turning point… Its a biggie, China creating their own world bank. :”)
Anyone else seeing a crisis anywhere? Hmmmm, almost feels like a crisis is everywhere I look (at least in the land of Mainstream Headlines!)
Isis #2 (another Air Force black project)
http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/products/isis.html
Integrated Sensor Is Structure (ISIS) is a disruptive Command & Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) extremely large dual-aperture radar capability integrated in a fully autonomous stratospheric unmanned airship. This solar and regenerative fuel-cell powered, electric propulsion, extreme endurance stratospheric airship provides broad-area coverage using a dual-band (X- & UHF-Band) radar capable of detecting and tracking Air Moving Tracking Indication (MTI), Ground MTI, Dismounts MTI and Maritime MTI targets of interest; in addition prosecuting targets beneath foliage and Camouflage, Concealment and Deceptive (CC&D) cover with its UHF-Band FOPEN (Foliage Penetrating) abilities. Operating at 70,000 feet the inherent look-down CONOP becomes a low observable (LO) buster and increases combat identification of operating and inbound targets.
Concept of Operations
ISIS will have the ability to track a multitude of targets ranging from dismounts to ballistic targets. ISIS can track ballistic targets at ranges well beyond 1080 nautical miles (nm), air targets at ranges beyond 373 nm and ground/dismount/maritime targets at ranges of 186 nm. A single ISIS system can cover 5,507,560 nm2 as compared to a combined AWACS & JSTARS 153,348 nm2 coverage of the mission space. At a goal of 10 years of continuous airborne mission ISIS becomes the most affordable C2ISR asset in tomorrow’s DOD fleet. ISIS has developed a first of its kind dual-band extremely large light-weight Airborne Electronic Steerable Array (AESA), ISIS < 2kg/m2 compared to legacy AESA of > 6 kg/ft2. With an extremely large radar aperture ISIS requires a fraction of the power of what legacy small aperture radar would require to detect, track and provide fire control quality data to a myriad of users. Technical challenges have been met in regards to high strength-to-weight materials, ultra-lightweight antennas, antenna calibration technologies, solar and regenerative power systems. ISIS will demonstrate an integrated airship with sensor within 52 months of the undertaking of Phase III. This contract was awarded to a Lockheed Martin/Raytheon team in April 2009.
Capabilities
- Provides simultaneous 3600 AMTI, DMTI, GMTI, MMTI and FOPEN engagements
- Ten years on-station
- Ninety-nine percent on-station availability
- Globally re-locatable in fewer than 10 days
Isis #3 (“Isis Rising”)
Chris,
with all of your ISIS writing/research, I did a little giddy freakout when learning of a local MN program on public access radio in the early morning hours today. The program is called “Isis Rising”. !!!
snippet from website –
Isis Rising
In the past two decades, the number of mothers in prison has more than doubled.
Introduction
The Goddess Isis represents faithfulness, compassion, healing, and the power of restorative love. Her love for humanity and her compassion towards our sorrows offer hope after loss, and a promise to our spirits that there is strength in moving onward even in adversity. “Cease your tears now, for I have come to help you. I looked down and saw the sorrows of your life. All things will soon change for you, as under my watchful light your life is restored, renewed.” ‐ Patricia Monaghan
http://www.everyday-miracles.org/isis-rising-program/
What this could mean with people choosing “ISIS”, (conscious of the name meaning or not) I think the quote above is pretty profound and says a lot as to where society is at today.
ISIS Rising: More Evidence Surfaces
Some readers aren’t going to appreciate this as much, but those who understand about the inner workings of Yin and Yang, and how cyclic those energies are in humanity will most likely see where I’m going with all this. Basically, Isis is indeed rising, and the birthing meme is becoming more clear (at least to me)…
Here we go:
Headline 1: Wal-Mart to promote women-owned businesses with new product labels
by Lauren O’Neil Posted: June 30, 2014 6:07 PM Last Updated: June 30, 2014 6:16 PM
Walmart’s new “women-owned” product label is said to resemble a ring of women with their arms around each other. (Retail Wire) From “ethically-sourced” to “certified organic,” it’s hard to find a retail product these days without a host of labels on its package.
A recent global survey by Nielsen found that 55 per cent of consumers are willing to pay more for products and services “provided by companies that are committed to positive social and environmental impact,” and nearly all of those consumers read product labels to determine whether or not a brand is socially responsible.
Soon, conscious consumers will have another logo to look out for when they’re shopping thanks to a partnership between Wal-Mart and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council: “Women-owned.”
According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Wal-Mart will begin selling products with small, circular stamps on them to indicate if a business is owned by women this fall.
“At Walmart we are committed to empowering women and impacting women-owned businesses from around the world — and so are our customers,” said MiKaela Wardlaw Lemmon, senior director of Women’s Economic Empowerment at Walmart, in a statement.
(The story here transcends the simple and obvious desire to cater to women. The Yin energy supports ecological consciousness and socially-responsible behavior. So, to me, this headline is much more than just promoting women, but I commend that aspect of it as well)
Headline 2: The mighty women of World War I
By Belinda Davis
updated 10:21 PM EDT, Tue July 1, 2014
Editor’s note: This is the second in a series on the legacies of World War I. It will appear on CNN.com/Opinion in the weeks leading up to the 100-year anniversary of the war’s outbreak in August. Ruth Ben-Ghiat is guest editor for the series. Belinda Davis is professor and vice chair for graduate studies in the Department of History at Rutgers University. She is author of “Home Fires Burning: Food, Politics, and Everyday Life in World War I Berlin” (Chapel Hill 2000); and co-editor of “Changing the World, Changing Oneself: Political Protest and Transnational Identities in 1960s/70s, West Germany and the U.S.” (New York 2012).
(CNN) — Some 100 years ago, a woman in Pittsburgh or St. Denis in France or Petrograd, Russia, might have awakened at dawn, while her young children slept, to prepare for her first shift at a nearby munitions factory. Her husband, off fighting in World War I, had left her to test the limits of her own physical ability, as she provided food, shelter, warmth for her family, sometimes confronting great physical danger at work — perhaps, for example, hanging suspended to load powerful explosives into the shells that other women had produced.
(This one is very interesting because it attempts to construe the predominately Yang, war-making energy. Nonetheless, you can actually feel the strong Yin throughout this article. Without the women in WWII, our country would have sank into oblivion.)
Headline 3: The Navy Is Getting Its First-Ever Female 4-Star Admiral

She also helped save Captain Phillips
American military history was made Tuesday when Michelle Howard became the first woman in the U.S. Navy to be promoted to a four-star admiral. Howard was also named Vice Chief of Naval Operations.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said during a ceremony that Howard’s promotion to the Navy’s second-highest position is a “representation of how far we have come, and how far she has helped bring us.” But Mabus added that “there is no news here today,” because according to him, the best officer got the job.
The 54-year-old Howard was also the first black woman to command a ship and the first to become a three-star Naval officer.
Howard is best known for leading Task Force 151, which saved merchant marine Captain Richard Phillips when he was captured by Somali pirates in April 2009.
The newly appointed four-star admiral was humble at the ceremony. “I’m just very proud of our service,” Howard said
Even more evidence? The serpent is out, and Isis is in?
I thought it was amazing to see a Jack Russell Terrier take out a cobra, but the cat video was also impressive. Granted these aren’t new videos, but perhaps the trend is still in tact.
For example, have rabbits always had a knack for chasing snakes around? Or better yet, when a squirrel fights a big snake, who will win?
Peanuts
Lastly, a slight tickle on the Peanuts meme for Project August. We’re about a month out from August, and here’s a potential warmup of something related to Peanuts. Incidentally, the 50th anniversary for Peanut’s first airing isn’t until December 2015, so I do find it somewhat surprising that this even made a headline earlier today…
