Are Voodoo And Witchcraft To Blame For The Unprecedented Rise Of Murder, Rapes And Assaults Happening Now In The Dominican Republic?

People keep dying under mysterious circumstances in the Dominican Republic and people are starting to wonder if witchcraft and voodoo are the cause of it.

“There is something … something dirty at the bottom of all of this,” Nieves told news station WTXF. “She was 51 years of age, relatively healthy, no reason for her to go on vacation and just die so suddenly.”

Something strange is going on in the once-peaceful tropical country of the Dominican Republic. Known for its lush sandy beaches and gorgeous ocean vistas, a sinister spirit has risen up there and bad things are happening. Instagram influencers are being assaulted, Red Sox star David Ortiz was shot and nearly killed, tourists are visiting top-dollar resorts and dying mysterious deaths. What on earth is happening there? For starters, take a look at this image I found when I googled the term ‘voodoo in dominican republic’

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)

The Dominican Republic is the oldest European settlement which neighbors Haiti. The two were once one called Hispaniola before Haiti declared its independence in 1804. Although the two were once one, they resent one another. Though they went their separate ways, they still share some of the same practices and beliefs. The main religion in the Dominican Republic is Roman Catholicism. The dominant religion in Haiti is Voodoo. A large number of Dominicans practice voodoo, or “Las 21 Divisiones” which is Dominican voodoo. Dominicans do not identify their African roots, so they have created their own voodoo which is accepted of those who practice it and viewed different from Haitians’ voodoo practices.

Haitian Vodou

In Haiti, some Catholics combine aspects of Catholicism with aspects of Vodou

As you can see, in both Haiti and the in the DR, voodoo is practiced alongside Roman Catholicism as the two have much in common. In the Roman Catholic mass, the eucharist is stored in a container that is ironically called the ‘monstrance’, as in monster. The Catholic priest recites a Latin prayer as an incantation with which he believes will “pull Jesus down’ from Heaven and sacrifice Him all over again. This is where we get the term ‘hocus pocus‘ from. This pagan practice of transubstantiation is right in line with the type of voodoo practiced on Haiti and in the Dominican Republic. In the above photo, you see a Haitian voodoo ceremony being prepared and what do you see right in the middle of everything? A Roman Catholic monstrance. Hmm.

When a spirit rises in a land the way it is right now in the Dominican Republic. you need to stay far away from there. I have a good friend named Craig, and he went to Haiti a few years ago on missionary work, but when he came back his head was spinning from the level of witchcraft and voodoo that went on there. He was in no way prepared for what he saw there, but the Lord kept him safe. People who don’t know the Lord and who aren’t saved are at grave risk in places like the Dominican Republic right now. The people who survived their trips to the DR nearly all have said that there is ‘something strange going on’, they just don’t know what it is. Now you know.

Woman suspects sister’s Dominican Republic death is linked to latest series of shocking fatalities

FROM THE NY POST: The family of a Pennsylvania bride-to-be who died under circumstances similar to those of guests at the Grand Bahía Príncipe resort in the Dominican Republic says it’s “impossible” that her sudden death at a hotel owned by the same company isn’t related.

Yvette Monique Sport, of Glenside, Pa., died from a heart attack in June 2018 during a trip with her fiancé to the Bahía Príncipe in Punta Cana, news station WCAU reported.

“There is something … something dirty at the bottom of all of this,” Nieves told news station WTXF. “She was 51 years of age, relatively healthy, no reason for her to go on vacation and just die so suddenly.”

Sport had a drink at the minibar in her hotel room, took a shower and “wanted to retire for the evening,” according to her sister. When Sport’s fiancé tried to wake her, he realized she was unresponsive, according to WCAU. “He tried to nudge her again and there was no sound and then she was gone,” Nieves said.

Sport’s situation is strikingly similar to the case last month of 41-year-old Miranda Schaup-Werner of Allentown, Pa. Schaup-Werner also drank from the minibar in her room at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville resort. Her family said she succumbed to a heart attack hours later on May 25 in the hotel.

Five days later, an engaged couple from Maryland died during their visit to the same resort, officials said. Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Ann Day, 49, were found dead in their room from pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. Nieves said she wants to get in touch with the families of the victims to put pressure on the resort chain to investigate.

“It’s a complete fabrication that you could have as many people and they all have the same cookie-cutter outcome. It’s impossible,” Nieves told WCAU. A rep for the resort didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. READ MORE

US authorities are scrambling to get to the bottom of a rash of deaths of US tourists in the Dominican Republic, with the number of reported fatalities over the past year now rising to six.

FROM YAHOO NEWS: Three people whose deaths have been confirmed all arrived on May 25 in San Pedro de Macoris, a seaside resort in the south of the Caribbean country, Dominican authorities said. Miranda Schaup-Werner, 41, booked a room with her husband at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville hotel. She lost consciousness on the day of her arrival after going out on the balcony. She could not be revived by her husband or hotel medical staff.

Cynthia Day, 49, and Edward Holmes, 63, stayed in an adjacent hotel, Grand Bahia Principe La Romana. The couple from Maryland was found dead on May 30 in their room by hotel staff.

According to the Dominican Prosecutor’s Office, the three victims died of respiratory failure and pulmonary edema. Schaup-Werner also had a heart attack.

News of the deaths has drawn attention to earlier deaths of American tourists at island resorts that received no publicity at the time — some now suspect — may have been part of a pattern. READ MORE

Instagram influencer painted rosy picture of DR despite being groped, nearly kidnapped, she now is warning others not to go

FROM THE NY POST: An Instagram influencer known for traveling around the world with her husband said she was nearly abducted and sexually assaulted during their trip to the Dominican Republic.

Cora Smith — who, with her hubby, Jay, runs the Instagram account The Great Escape Blog, which has 26,000 followers — said she felt compelled to paint a rosy picture online of their three-month jaunt to the DR in 2018.

  • EDITOR’S NOTE: Look at this video they took while in the Dominican Republic of a Roman Catholic church they visited. Every square inch of the place filled with symbols also found in Freemasonry, the New Age, the Rosicrucians, and the list goes on and on. Dan Brown would have a field day in this place, and you wonder why there is an evil spirit in this country? (Click the right arrow in photo to watch the video)

“You feel this obligation to be honest, but a fear of rejection if you are,” Smith said in an interview with Business Insider. “I didn’t tell my story, and I think it’s out of fear.”

She first shared her harrowing experience in a blog post last year — but said she wanted to make it more publicly known following the recent spate of deaths in the DR and news that a Delaware mom was brutally attacked at a resort there. Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz was also recently shot while sitting at a bar in Santo Domingo.

“It’s not a safe country, and it’s not just the five-star resorts,” Smith said. “I feel like I can’t sit here and listen to the prime minister and say, ‘Our country is safe,’ because it’s not safe.” READ MORE

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Bill Gates Finally Admits Epstein Files Are True, F-22s Land In Israel For Iran War, Donald Trump Tells Whoppers At SOTU

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Bill Gates just dropped a bomb concerning the Epstein Files, one that shows you why no one in Washington especially Donald Trump is interested in launching an investigation

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted he had two affairs with Russian women while married to his now-ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, just like the Epstein Files says he did, and on Tuesday issued a groveling apology for his connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This is a stunning revelation, and it begs the question as to why the Department of Justice has not launched a full-scall investigation into the other allegations contained in the files. Who doesn’t want that to come to light? To find the answer to that question, we must go to the Oval Office.

End Times

As We Watch America Being Ripped To Pieces By Our Leaders Who Have Betrayed Her, Be Reminded And Comforted That This World Is Not Our Home

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

America is clearly in her last days, are you looking for that better country and Jesus Christ or will you go down with the ship?

When Barack Obama was president, I wrote over 350 articles and stories on the incredible damage he was inflicting on our nation. When he had his third term through the Trojan horse we call Joe Biden, I wrote nearly 100 articles calling out the atrocities that the Democrats were perpetuating. Here at the start of the second year of Trump 2.0, I have been chronicling for some time the dark spiritual climate that has settled over us with the witches and warlocks of the Christian Nationalism Movement, Turning Point USA and all the spiritually-deranged MAGA and QAnon denizens of the current administration. What has all this taught me? That’s what I’d like to share with you today.

“But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:16 (KJB)

Here are three simple and unique truths that you would do well to acquaint yourself with. In fact, these truths are so self-evident that the entire world system is dedicated to keeping you from seeing and understanding them. What the Bible says will come to pass must come to pass.

1). The world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” 1 John 2:18 (KJB)

Over the past 17 years of reporting through Now The End Begins, the trend is undeniable and unmistakable, the kingdoms of this world are working diligently to prepare the coming 7-year kingdom for Antichrist. Like it or not, America is at the forefront of that movement. When Obama and Biden were running things, we got to see all the spiritual wickedness they brought in with the LGBTQ agenda and the glorification of what God hates. For the past year, we’ve watched as counterfeit Christianity in the form of Christian Nationalism has been working to bring in the 7 Mountains Mandate of end times idolatry based on greed, personal gain and self-glorification. 7MM has a different Jesus and preaches a different gospel. On one hand, Barack Obama and Donald Trump would be seem to be quite different, but they’re not. Both men are working to accomplish the same goal, just from opposite sides of the fence.

THIS IS WHERE NOW THE END BEGINS STARTED, AND 17 YEARS LATER, WE HAVE ONLY SUNK DEEPER INTO IT

2). America is being ravaged and sold to the highest bidder

“Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.” Isaiah 40:15 (KJB)

As of this writing, America is over $37,000,000,000,000.00 in debt, a number that cannot and will not be paid back in anyone’s lifetime. But as this titanic debt continues to compile, politicians on both sides of the aisle have become fabulously wealthy. President Trump and his whole family have profited more than $4,000,000,000.00 since returning to office. America is being eaten alive from the inside out, and no one is coming to her rescue. No one. 2026 is the 250th anniversary of our founding, and it just may be the year it all falls apart. President Trump will be very happy to sell you his latest merch pitch, a watch he calls The Golden Tourbillion for a mere $100,000.00. Everything is for sale with Trump, including his soul.

3). Jesus Christ is the only safe place

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 (KJB)

Today is Day 2,171 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, a timeline that began when Donald Trump put the entire world on lockdown back on March 16th of 2020. Starting from that day forward, we believe the beginning of sorrows started, and we have continued the timeline because the events just keep coming. The time has passed, Christian, for debates on how to “save America”, that ship has long since sailed. But now is the perfect time for you to rededicate your life to the service of Jesus Christ as a gospel witness in these last days. We are not living in a Golden Age, and there is no Golden Age coming, that’s deception. But you can start right now laying up for yourself treasure in Heaven as the Lord tells us to. America must fall as the Bible says all nations will in the last days, but there is a ‘better country’ waiting for you to come and take up residence in. Get on the Ark, Christian, the rain is about to begin.

The Trump Tariffs Have Almost Zero Impact On Foreign Nations With The Bulk Of The Tax Being Paid By The American Consumer And Small Business Owners

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

96% of the Trump tariffs are not paid by any foreign nation, they are paid by the American importer with the costs passed immediately to the US consumer

In George Orwell’s ‘1984’, we read about something called ‘doublespeak’. Doublespeak is language deliberately designed to disguise, distort, or reverse the meaning of words, often used by institutions to make negative actions appear positive or to render critical thought impossible. Some good examples of this would be a leader preaching peace while preparing for war, or a government promising the people economic freedom while raising their taxes. This, as you shall see, is the demonic logic behind Trump’s tariffs, which is actually a tax on the American people, and not on foreign nations.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23 (KJB)

Maybe you’re one of Trump’s Q or MAGA followers who have been wildly cheering as he has imposed crippling tariffs on the ‘foreign nations’ that have been ‘ripping us off’ for many years. But perhaps in all the jubilation and celebration, you never took the time to understand exactly what Trump’s tariffs actually are. In fact, President Trump built much of his economic message around the promise that foreign nations would “pay” for unfair trade. Yes, it was strong rhetoric, it resonated, and it sounded like long-overdue leverage. It sounded like winning! But the structure of those tariffs tells a very different story — one that slaps the American consumer right between the eyes at it reaches for his wallet.

george-orwell-1984-75th-anniversary-edition-united-states-civil-war-leave-the-world-behind-christian-bookstore-palatka

When Trump orders tariffs, the U.S. government charges American importers at the port of entry. Did you get that? Foreign nations are not paying, the American companies doing the importing are paying. Those American companies then raise prices to cover the added cost. Retailers raise prices. Manufacturers raise prices. And the American family standing in the checkout line absorbs the impact. This is actually how Trump’s tariffs operate. Is there anything in that you find worthy of applauding?

Under Trump’s tariff regime, costs rise across supply chains:

  • Steel tariffs increase construction costs.
  • Component tariffs increase manufacturing costs.
  • Consumer goods tariffs increase retail prices.
  • Agricultural retaliation harms American farmers.
  • And when prices rise, it’s not Beijing tightening its belt. It’s the American middle class.

Trump positioned tariffs as a tool of strength — a weapon to force foreign governments to the negotiating table. But strength on a podium is not the same thing as strength at the grocery store. Every time tariffs broaden, they function as a hidden tax embedded in everyday purchases. If the federal government collects billions in tariff revenue under Trump, that revenue didn’t come from overseas treasuries. It came from higher prices paid by Americans somewhere in the chain. That money originated here. You cannot slap broad tariffs on a globalized supply chain and expect the cost to evaporate.

American manufacturers who rely on imported inputs don’t magically become more competitive when those inputs get more expensive. They either:

  • Raise prices,
  • Cut margins,
  • Reduce payroll,
  • Or relocate operations.

That’s not economic revival, that’s economic pressure. Trump argues tariffs defend American industry. But across large segments of the economy, they operate like a regressive tax — disproportionately impacting working-class families who spend a larger share of their income on physical goods. The irony is sharp: a policy framed as economic nationalism ends up taxing the very nation it claims to protect.

Economic studies from 2025 and early 2026 consistently show that foreign exporters have “eaten” very little of the tariff costs:

  • 90% to 96% Burden on Americans: Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Kiel Institute found that as of late 2025, American consumers and firms paid approximately 90% to 96% of the tariff costs.
  • Minor Exporter Absorption: Foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% to 6% of the burden by lowering their prices to remain competitive.
  • Cost per Household: The Tax Foundation estimated that Trump’s tariffs increased taxes for the average U.S. household by $1,000 in 2025 and are projected to cost $1,300 in 2026.

So when you watch Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday, and he gets to the part about how he’s not backing down with the tariffs, just remember who is paying for those tariffs – you are. The evil foreign nations who have been ‘ripping us off’ for years with trade inequality and unfair practices will continue to do that. The only difference is, that in addition to that you now also have Trump’s tariff tax applied to all the goods you purchase, every time you eat out and the gas you put in your vehicle. Does that sound like winning to you? Did you vote for that? We’re living in a time of great deception, and the sooner you realize that the better off you’ll be.
