The Daily Caller, September 3, 2014

A WorldNetDaily writer can’t fathom why anyone would willingly dump ice water on themselves, so she did some digging and has now concluded that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a satanic ritual.

“I began to think about the IBC,” Selena Owens explains in the piece. “Whose idea was this? Why would people so easily agree to being drenched in icy water? Who participated and who didn’t? Why do people feel obligated to take the challenge if offered to them? What’s the purpose of calling out three other people to take the challenge?”

She investigated, she says, and discovered the IBC is NOT “a lighthearted attempt to understand a debilitating disease.”

The most troubling evidence she has to support her theory that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is actually a satanic ritual is the story of Corey Griffin’s death.

Griffin was the IBC co-founder. He died last month when he jumped off a building in Nantucket and drowned following a successful fundraiser where he had raised $100,000 for ALS research, Owens explains. He was pronounced dead at 3 a.m. “He floated to the surface, then he sank,” a report says. “He did not come up again.”

“It confounds me as to why Griffin would take such a risk with his life, especially in the dead of night?” she writes. “Very odd. Very bizarre. Very dark.”

She also points to a video, in which self-described evangelist Anita Fuentes explains a number of cryptic and cultic messages hidden in the IBC ritual, which is cleansing America in the name of Anti-Christ Lucifer Satan for some future thing.

The video’s depiction of Oprah Winfrey taking the challenge is particularly disturbing, Owens said. “Winfrey precedes her dousing with the words ‘In the name of ALS and the Ice Bucket Challenge’ … because Oprah mistakenly believes the One True God is jealous of her, and the well-known fact that she denounces Jesus as the only way to God and basically considers herself to be a god, I found this statement to be very cultic in nature.”

In conclusion: “The ALS IBC is ritualistic in nature. People are chosen to undergo a form of water baptism with cultic god Oprah leading the charge ‘in the name of ALS.’”

Watch the truly fascinating video and decide for yourself if Owens’ is right.

Titles do not give true power. When you practice mindfulness well and you radiate joy, stability, and peace, you acquire a much deeper authority. When you speak, people listen to you, not because they have to but because you are fresh, serene, and wise. A good leader is one who exercises only this kind of authority. She doesn’t strive for it or want to use it, but it comes naturally. She inspires people by her way of living, and people listen to her because of her authenticity. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Rescuers dog-pile on the bear that had been wandering the area with its head stuck in a ‘bucket’ for more than a month, use hacksaw to cut it away

By David Strege, GrindTV, September 03, 2014

A bear observed with a bucket on its head wandering around the Perry Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, for more than a month has finally been rescued, thanks to a group of neighborhood volunteers who corralled the animal on Monday and cut away the unwanted appendage.

Krissy Elder and her friends drew attention to the so-called bucket bear Sunday night by creating a Save the Bucket Bear Facebook page after she visited her father, who lives in the area the bear was wandering

“I watched the bear bounce its head off the fence,” Elder told Pennlive.com. “It just couldn’t see. That poor bear couldn’t see where it was going.”

Dean Hornberger of Sligo, Pennsylvania, and his girlfriend Samantha Eigenbrod saw the Facebook post and immediately made plans to recruit volunteers and make a rescue attempt the next day. Eigenbrod recorded the rescue on her cellphone. MailOnline offered the best compilation of the video (it starts after 30 seconds):

As you can see, Hornberger first attempted to pull off the bucket-like fixture known as a maxi, an air bag that provides cushioning between a tractor and its trailer. Unsuccessful, the volunteer animal rescue group managed to tackle the bear and pin it down in “the biggest mud hole in the area,” according to Hornberger.

“We all sort of dog-piled on top of the bear to get it down,” Hornberger told Pennlive.com.

Using a hacksaw, Hornberger cut through the metal ring around the bear’s neck and enough of the plastic so the “bucket” could be pried open enough for the bear to pull its head out, which it did, and then took off running into the woods.

Hornberger said the bear was able to eat and get some water through a small opening in the maxi, explaining how it survived since there had been reports about the bucket bear as far back as July 4.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission had received several calls about the bucket bear over the past month and a half. Each time officials responded the bear was long gone, and attempts to trap the animal failed.

Instead, it took a group of volunteers to tackle the issue.
