Founded by an escaped slave from Missouri, John J. Neimore, The California Eagle was one of the oldest and longest running Black newspapers in Los Angeles, California. Under the direction of Neimore, the newspaper was first called, The California Owl. The newspaper was started to help ease the transitions of black settlers to the West. Settlers only had to check the paper to find information about housing, jobs, and other information to make living in the west less complicated. The newspaper became one of the leading papers of the early 1900s under the leadership of Charlotta A. Bass, who took control of the paper after the death of Neimore in 1912. She later renamed the newspaper The California Eagle.
Bass, along with her husband and a veteran journalist from Kansas, decided to launch a more militant campaign using the paper to end discrimination and segregation. The plan was to direct the newspaper towards political and social issues affecting African Americans locally and nationally. At every opportunity, the paper challenged America to uphold the rights stated in the Constitution to all Americans.
If there was an injustice taking place in America, it was being spoken against in this paper. In 1914, articles and editorials were published in opposition to D. W. Griffith’s film, “Birth of A Nation,” due to its derogatory portrayals of African Americans and celebratory depiction of Ku Klux Klan violence. The publication spoke out against the military injustices during both World War I and World War II. After the wars, The California Eagle focused on the injustices taking place throughout the state.
The California Eagle joined forces with other papers such as The Chicago Defender, Afro-American, and The Norfolk Journalin order to give support to the Scottsboro Nine, the young men accused of raping two white women aboard a freight train. The paper was also a part of the campaign “Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work,” which discouraged blacks from patronizing establishments that practiced racist hiring practices.
In 1951, Charlotta Bass sold The California Eagle to Loren Miller, attorney and former Eagle reporter. Bass had served her community for more than 40 years for the fight for equal rights, and in 1952, she became the first black woman to run for national office as the Progressive Party’s Vice Presidential candidate. The Eagle continued to press in the same direction as Charlotta Bass pursued complete integration for African Americans throughout all sectors of society. Miller sold the paper in 1964, and under new ownership the paper shut down for good that same year.

Hey, how’s it going?
I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!
In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.
The Jewish people deny Jesus as their Messiah and have stated that their Messiah has been identified and is waiting to be revealed. They say this man will rule the world under a one world religion called “spiritualism”.
They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.
The Bible says this false Messiah who seats himself in the Third Temple will be thee antichrist that will bring about the Great Tribulation, though the Jewish people believe he will bring about world peace. It will be a false peace for a period of time. You can watch interviews of Jewish Rabbi’s in Israel speaking of these things. They have their plans set in place. It is only years away!
More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18:
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11).
People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we need two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.
