One of the major differences between Christianity and other religions is that God of the Bible is infinitely holy. The Hebrew word, "to be holy" is quadash, it is derived from the root word qud, which means to cut or separate. God is absolutely separated and is above from all his creatures and he is exalted above in infinite majesty."Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you; majestic in holiness, awesome in glory" (Exodus 15:11) In fact some of the most vivid displays of God's holiness is displayed in the Old Testament. One of the greatest passages is found in Isaiah chapter six.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD
Isaiah prophesied during the reign of four kings over a period of sixty years. One of the kings that lived during Isaiahs time was king Uzziah. He became a king when he was 16 years old and reigned the nation for 52 years. Now that is a pretty long time. Its like American people experiencing 13 presidents ruling in their 4 year terms. It was like saying, long live the king, as generations have experienced the rule of Uzziah. But the king died. When he died, apparently the entire nation was feeling a sense of panic and fear, as their leader is dead. Isaiah the prophet went to the temple of God, and he sees another king, an eternal King, sitting on his throne.
"In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple." (Isaiah 6:1)
When you see the word Lord, here it refers to Adhonay in Hebrew meaning the sovereignty of God. But when you see the word LORD in capital, it refers to the name of God, Yahweh.
The human king is dead but the sovereign king of the Universe is alive, His Kingship is forever and it never ends. This is a picture of His majesty, His glory and power. The exalted one who became a servant. Yes, he is the one who became flesh. Apostle John said, "Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus glory and spoke about him." (John 12:41)
Isaiah 6:2 says, "Above him were seraphs, each with six wings, with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying."
These angels were created and designed to proclaim the holiness of God. They were flying with two wings above the throne of God. This is the exaltation of his throne. Then it says that they covered their feet with two wings. Why did they cover their feet? In Exodus chapter three we see how God appeared to Moses in a burning bush. God said to Moses, "Do not come any closer; take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." (Exodus 3:5) But this is just a normal place, where Moses is familiar with this area. Why is it that only now this spot suddenly became holy? Whenever God's presence appears everything becomes sanctified. It was God's presence that made the ground holy. When God descended in a fire to Mt. Sinai, prior to that he told the people to consecrate themselves. (Exodus 19) Here in Isaiah the angels cover their feet because of the presence of God's holiness. Just imagine, if we see an angel, that would be awesome. But even the angels are covering their feet as God's holiness brings his absolute majesty and glory.
Then it says with two wings they covered their face. Do you know why the angels cover their faces? In Exodus 33:18, Moses asked the Lord to show His glory. God said, "You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." (Exodus 33:20) It is absolutely impossible to see the infinite glory of His majesty, not even the angelic creatures, How awesome is His glory! Then God told Moses, "You may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand, until I passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen." (Exodus 33:22-23)
The God of the Universe is infinitely holy, even these angelic beings cannot see the full glory of Him.
Then in Isaiah 6:3, the angels were calling to one another:
"Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
This is the only time in the Bible an attribute of God being repeated three times. The Bible say that God is love, but not love, love, love. According to Jewish custom, when they wanted to emphasize a point they repeated it two times. Jesus said, "Truly, truly I say unto you" This mean it is absolutely truly what he was going to say. But here in Isaiah God's holiness is repeated not to the second degree but to the third degree, which means he is infinitely holy. On the other hand the Antichrist is called with the number 666, repeated to the third degree of evil.
The holiness of God is somewhat different than all His other attributes, as God is holy in all His attributes. He is holy in His Goodness, holy in his Justice, holy in His Wrath, etc., He is majestic in His Holiness, because His name is Holy. In the past the name of a person reflects the character of that individual. God's name is holy, that means all what he thinks and does is holy. "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" (Matt. 6:9) "For this is what the high and lofty One says, who lives forever, whose name is holy; I live in high and holy place" (Isaiah 57:15)
The scribes who copied one manuscript to another, when it came to the name of God, they used another pen, and even if a king was passing by when he was writing the name of God, the scribe will not look at the king as the name of God is infinitely holy than anything else.
We can never fully understand the holiness of God. It is immeasurable. He is infinitely holy and the ten commandments reveal his holiness to mankind. Thats why no one can keep the commandments, we all fall short fall of His glory.
Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty ... [Song: Agnus Dei]
1 And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming to you the testimony of God [concerning salvation through Christ], I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom [no lofty words of eloquence or of philosophy as a Greek orator might do]; 2 for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection]. 3 I came to you in [a state of] weakness and fear and great trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them], 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom and rhetoric of men, but on the power of God.
6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those spiritually mature [believers who have teachable hearts and a greater understanding]; but [it is a higher] wisdom not [the wisdom] of this present age nor of the rulers and leaders of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence]. 8 None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written [in Scripture],
“Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].”
10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. 11 For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those being guided by the Holy Spirit].
14 But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters]. 15 But the spiritual man [the spiritually mature Christian] judges all things [questions, examines and applies what the Holy Spirit reveals], yet is himself judged by no one [the unbeliever cannot judge and understand the believer’s spiritual nature]. 16 For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Corinthians 2:9-16
In writing to the Corinthians, Paul gives a simple framework for understanding spirit in general, as well as the Holy Spirit. Verse 11 teaches that each person has a spirit: “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?” This echoes Job 32:8: “Thereisa spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.” In this usage, the word “spirit” is synonymous with “heart” or “mind.” This is the intelligent, non-physical part of a person that allows him to think, reason, and comprehend. Verse 11 teaches that a person's spirit is the source and overseer of his thoughts. This spirit in man is not another being within the person but simply the person's center of reason.
Next, verse 12 reveals that the world has a spirit. Like the spirit in man, this spirit is also not a separate being. But this usage of “spirit” is slightly different. Rather than being the center of reason, the spirit of the world is the world's attitude, its inclination, tendency, atmosphere, mood, or frame of mind. The spirit of the world is also the motivating impulse of the culture, which can manifest in many ways, but it will always be anti-God (see Romans 8:7).
Paul describes this spirit in Ephesians 2:2-3, saying that we “once walked according to the course of this world.” The course, or way, of the world is the invisible and immaterial motivating impulse at work in the sons of disobedience. The spirit of the world moves people whom God has not redeemed to conduct themselves in lust, fulfilling the desires of their flesh and mind, putting themselves under the wrath of God. The spirit of the world sweeps mankind along a spiritual channel to keep them in opposition to their Creator.
While spirit cannot be seen, we can see the effects of spirit. It is not a coincidence that the word for “spirit,” pneuma, can also be translated as “wind” or “breath”—just as Job 32:8, quoted above, parallels the spirit in man to “the breath of the Almighty.” We cannot see the moving air molecules in wind, but we can observe leaves and branches being moved and know that wind is present. In the dry areas of the West, tumbleweeds roll along and dust-devils form, spin, and disintegrate, revealing that the wind is at work.
In the same way, we cannot see spirit, but we can see the actions and attitudes of mankind, and thus find evidence of the spirit that is working. The spirit of the world influences and stirs up the spirit in man, inducing the individual to think and feel in a certain way, and ultimately, to act.
Returning to I Corinthians 2:12, Paul mentions a spirit that we have received. This is in addition to the spirit in man, with which we were born, and in opposition to the spirit of the world. This additional spirit is from, and of, God. We can conclude that, like mankind, God also has a Spirit. God has a mind, one of unfathomable depth, capability, and intelligence. But more than simply an overwhelming intellect, God's Spirit includes His attitude, principles, thoughts, feelings, temperament, character, disposition, and will. To put it simply, God's Spirit is the essence of His incredible mind, and it is the new motivating principle that God's children receive.
I Corinthians 2:16 shows that God's Spirit is not another supernatural being. It begins with a quotation of Isaiah 40:13 (“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”), but then Paul follows up with, “But we have the mind of Christ.” This is Paul's explanation of the spirit we have received. It is a principle, a disposition, a motivating influence that comes from God Himself. “Spirit,” “heart,” and “mind,” while not identical, are used interchangeably. It is the mind of Christ that we have received that allows us to know the things of God, to know what God has prepared for us, and to know the things that have been given to us. Thus, Paul equates the Spirit of God to the mind of Christ. The essence of His mind enhances our minds, giving us spiritual understanding.
The Father and the Son are one, not in the sense of being the same Person, but in the sense of being perfectly united in will, thought, and intent. They are of the same mind, the same heart—the same spirit. It is that Spirit that we receive when we are baptized and have hands laid on us. As a result, we can begin to understand the things of God, which the world cannot understand. Without God's intervention, mankind is only influenced by the spirit of the world, which has its source in “the prince of the power of the air.”
Because God is holy, His Spirit is also holy. God has many facets and qualities, yet the four living creatures in Revelation 4:8 praise Him day and night for being “holy, holy, holy.” The fact that they say “holy” three times does not mean that He is three persons. It means His holiness is superlative—it is the very highest possible. Our holy God's Spirit, the essence of His perfect mind, is also holy. That holiness is not merely an attribute, but it is also what God's Spirit will incline His people toward: holiness in conduct, in attitude, in speech, in every facet of living. God says, “Be holy, for I am holy,” and His Spirit will move us toward His holiness, if we cooperate.
As the apostle Paul begins his first letter to the Corinthians, knowing that he is writing to a congregation divided among various factions, he patiently explains to them what makes them different from those in the world yet at the same time unites the members of the church. He, of course, refers to God's Holy Spirit, given to all Christians at conversion by the laying on of hands. The apostle John calls it "the anointing which you have received from Him" (I John 2:27), implying that Christians have been ordained, and thus set apart or sanctified, to a task or office that others have not been given.
This sets up a dichotomy. On the one side are Christians who have freely received God's Spirit, and on the other are all other human beings who, Paul says, have received "the spirit of the world" (see also Ephesians 2:2). Thus, there is a clash of spirits, a collision of motivating forces, at work between the Christian and the world. The apostle writes in Galatians 5 that the two spirits are diametrically opposed, one producing "the works of the flesh," while the other bears "the fruit of the Spirit" (verses 16-25). In fact, he declares in Romans 8:7, "The carnal mind is enmity against God"; the worldly person, imbibing of the spirit of this world, lives in hostility to God and cannot do what God commands.
The Spirit from God, though, removes the human hostility and allows the Christian to know—that is, realize, understand, and use—the gracious gifts of God. These gifts are predominantly spiritual blessings rather than physical ones. Jesus advises His disciples not to worry about food, drink, and clothing because God knows that physical human beings need such things to live (Matthew 6:25-32). Instead, He says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (verse 33). The Christian's mind is to be focused on God's goal and godly things that will propel him along the way there, and he can do this only by the many gifts bestowed through God's Spirit.
Paul's focus in this passage seems to be on knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Earlier, he had mentioned that God has chosen to spread the gospel message through preaching, which the worldly Greeks considered "foolishness" (I Corinthians 1:23). Yet, this only exposes the fact that the Greeks did not have the ability to understand spiritual matters, and God would ultimately confound them in their "wisdom" through weak and foolish people preaching a "foolish" message of a crucified Savior. The difference is that those weak and foolish people possess a Spirit that comes directly from the Creator God that allows them to know the truth in all its divine splendor.
Thus, in terms of the apostle's overall goal in persuading the Corinthians that they should "be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (I Corinthians 1:10), he emphasizes that they have this one commonality, God's Holy Spirit, that makes all the difference to them as individuals and as a congregation. So, as he goes on to say, there is no reason for them to be so judgmental one against the other, for they all "have the mind of Christ" (I Corinthians 2:16). Having one mind and being all in one Body of Christ, as he later discusses (I Corinthians 12:12-27), dividing themselves into cliques is both counterproductive and contrary to God's purpose.
It never fails, listening to Ella always calms my mind down, and relaxes me. I'm in heaven right now. Her voice is divine! Take a music break from all of this world's nonsense regularly! Try to incorporate music in your daily activities like when you're commuting, working, gardening, cleaning the house, hiking, walking, bicycling, working on the car, etc. AND most especially on the days you do nothing and simply relax. Catch my drift? ;)
Sending you lots of love and I'm giving you a great big hug right now...❤ Enjoy this beautiful song and this day! ❤ I sure am. 😊😘
Cheers. 🥂

All The Things You Are ~ by Ella Fitzgerald
Time and again I’ve longed for adventure,
Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.
Finding your love I’ve found my adventure,
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

The Very Thought Of You
~ by Ella Fitzgerald
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you

Television Jamaica published July 24, 2026: Residents set Fire to House of Suspect Accused of Killing 10-Year-Old. Ongoing tension in Troy, Trelawny, is escalating rapidly following the brutal rape and murder of 10-year-old Shani Coke and the mob killing of the suspect.
After Thursday's protest, the police were again called to the community after arsonists set the suspect's house on fire.
TVJ News was informed that the incident followed the arrest of a resident in the community.
Television Jamaica published July 25, 2026: Troy Serial Rapist? Victim Speaks Out. This evening, we hear from one of the victims of the alleged serial rapist in Troy, Trelawny, who was killed by a mob on Tuesday.
The woman told TVJ News that she and her children had been frequently targeted by the man over the past eight years, and that her reports had fallen on deaf ears.
TROY, Trelawny — Still mourning the murder of 10-year-old Shani “Kaidra” Coke on Tuesday residents of the usually quiet district took to the streets on Thursday after one of their own was reportedly arrested by the police in connection with the mob killing of the man believed to have attacked her.
According to residents the man was taken into custody by the police who are probing the death of Shani and the fatal attack on the suspected child killer Delroy Coke, and the brutal beating of his father.
The placard-bearing residents used debris to block the Troy main road — which links part of south Trelawny to northern Manchester — as they charged that the police had no reason to arrest the man, whose identity has not been released.
The residents also expressed their anger at the murder of Shani.
“We want justice. Protect our children. Children are the future. Let us protect them. The justice system failed us. We want justice for the brutal murder of Shani,” some of the placards read, while other called for the freeing of the man they said had been taken into custody.
Some of the protesters also took to social media platform TikTok to express their frustration and disgust.
“We a protest, because the police lock up a man and we want him to be freed…. We want justice,” one of the protesting residents told the Jamaica Observer.
Shani partially nude body was found with her throat slashed in bushes on Tuesday. Police said following the discovery of the child’s body, there was a mob attack on the father and son in the community.
Residents told the Observer that the two men are Shani’s relatives. They accused the son of raping and killing the child. He was beaten, chopped and stoned to death, while his father was left with major wounds.
When contacted head of the police Area One Assistant Commissioner Glenford Miller said the investigators are seeking those involved in the mob attack.
“I know we are investigating to know who were the persons involved in that mob killing. I cannot say at this time if we have made any arrests,” Miller said mid-morning on Thursday. Subsequent efforts to get a further update were unsuccessful up to press time.
A heavy pall of gloom and anger clouded over Troy on Thursday with one resident telling the
Observer that the community remains grief-stricken.
“The whole of Troy is in mourning. We can’t stop thinking about the little girl and how she died so awful,” said the resident who requested anonymity.
According to a police report, as well as the account of residents, mid-afternoon Tuesday, Shani was walking home from a shop along a roadway near her home when she was abducted.
Later, a farmer, who had gone in search of his cow after hearing strange sounds from bushes, made the grisly discovery and raised an alarm.
On Wednesday relatives remembered the child for her brilliance and radiant smile.
“All last week she got her certificate to show her brilliance. When you look at her you see the next doctor, lawyer, and they just took her life, just cut her off. Right now we are devastated. Right now we don’t know our head from our feet. Last night [Tuesday] we nuh sleep. This is traumatising. Maybe Kaidra was going to come and take her mother out of poverty and they cut her life short and kill her,” her aunt Shawna Williams-Stevens said before breaking down in tears.
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA) says it is horrified and deeply saddened by the tragic murder of 10-year-old Shani Coke, whose partially nude body was discovered with her throat slashed along a dirt track in bushes in the Tyre district near Troy, Trelawny.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the agency described the tragedy as a painful reminder that too many of Jamaica’s children continue to fall victim to horrific acts of violence perpetrated by adults who should be protecting them.
The CPFSA stressed that every child has the right to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment where they are protected, valued and allowed to realise their full potential.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the CPFSA, Laurette Adams Thomas, said the agency mourns with the child’s family and the wider community as they grapple with this heartbreaking tragedy.
“There are simply no words that can lessen the pain of this tragedy. This 10-year-old child should have been given the opportunity to fulfil her dreams; her parents should have been given the chance to see her graduate from primary school, from university, to see her walk down the aisle…Instead, she was made to become a statistic, another victim of unspeakable violence. We cannot continue to accept these horrific acts as a normal part of our society. Every time a child is abused or murdered, we fail in our collective duty to protect those who depend on us most,” she said.
She further stated that the tragedy must also serve as a national call to action and urged every Jamaican to reject the culture of violence against children and instead embrace our shared responsibility to safeguard their well-being.
“This must be a turning point for Jamaica. We must cultivate an environment where the protection of our children is an immediate priority, transcending the rhetoric that simply designates them as the future. Every child is precious, every life has immeasurable value, and every adult has a responsibility to intervene, to report abuse, to speak up and to act. If we truly believe that our children are our greatest asset, then our actions must begin to reflect those words,” she said.
“Jungle justice, however, is not the appropriate form of intervention and is not supported by the CPFSA,” the CEO continued.
The agency said first responders are on the ground conducting an investigation to determine whether there are other children connected to the family whose safety and well-being require immediate intervention.
It said the officers are also assessing the psychosocial needs of the victim’s family and stand ready to provide the necessary support.
CBS News published Videos capture moment 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Japan and its aftermath. A deadly 7.1 magnitude earthquake rattled southern Japan on Tuesday, collapsing buildings and sparking fires. These videos show the moment the quake struck and the destruction it left behind.
DW News published July 28, 2026: Powerful earthquake hits near Kumamoto city in southern Japan. A powerful earthquake has hit the southern Japanese island of Kyushu. The epicenter was just south of the city of Kumamoto. There are initial reports of at least 50 people injured and damage to roads and houses - as well as people trapped in a shopping mall in the city following an explosion. DW's Biresh Banerjee speaks to journalist Martin Fritz in Japan for the latest.
BBC News published July 28, 2026: People trapped inside Japan shopping centre after earthquake. Several people are trapped inside a shopping centre after a strong earthquake hit south-west Japan, officials say.
Some local media reports that there was an explosion at the Aeon Mall in Kumamoto, following the magnitude 7.1 earthquake.
The quake hit inland on Kyushu island at 16:27 local time (07:27 GMT), with more than 150,000 people being told to move to evacuation shelters. There was a brief tsunami warning that was lifted within the hour.
Emergency services said "many people" were trapped inside the Aeon Mall in the Kumamoto region.
The number of people who have died after a powerful earthquake hit southwestern Japan has risen to 34, authorities in Kumamoto prefecture said on Thursday.
Rescuers are still working to find survivors after the magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit Kumamoto prefecture on Kyushu island on Tuesday, causing widespread damage to houses and power lines.
Several people died after part of a shopping centre collapsed and an explosion ripped through the mall about an hour later.
Thousands of displaced residents are now staying in evacuation centres - though the challenge is to keep them cool and hydrated as the region battles sweltering heat.
Temperatures could reach 39C in the prefecture in the coming days, according to forecasts, with officials urging survivors and rescuers to take precautions against heatstroke.
On Wednesday, Japan's defence minister Shinjiro Koizumi announced the delivery of 300 air conditioners to Kumamoto, with 150 of the units bound for evacuation centres.
Around 9,000 displaced residents have been put up in evacuation centres, and more than 30,000 households were out of power as of Wednesday.
Yukiya Sanoue, who works at one of the centres, told the BBC that heat stroke was the biggest concern at his facility, which hosts about 1,000 people. About 30% of the people at his evacuation centre are senior citizens.
He said their electricity and water supplies had stopped since the earthquake, and the centre had been without air conditioning until Wednesday afternoon when they received a generator.
Quite a few people are suffering from conditions similar to heatstroke, and several have been taken to hospital, he said.
More than 100 aftershocks have been recorded since the initial quake, and many have taken to sleeping in their cars for fear of further tremors.
Thousands of personnel have been deployed for search-and-rescue operations. Many are digging through rubble at Kashima's Aeon shopping centre, one of the worst-hit buildings where a portion of the second floor collapsed.
The mall was also rocked by an explosion about an hour after the initial quake.
The president of Aeon said it was "very likely" a gas explosion, though the cause of the blast remains under investigation.
A cat cafe inside the mall said on Wednesday that its 25 cats, which had been left behind during the chaos of the quake, had all since been safely rescued.
The quake-hit Aeon mall in Kumamoto had just reopened last month as a revamped shopping complex. It had previously been damaged during a series of strong earthquakes in April 2016, which killed 278 people in the region.
Rescuers were also combing a Nippon Paper factory in Yatsushiro city, where at least five people have died after the factory partially collapsed during the quake.
Eleven people were trapped in the building, seven of whom have been rescued so far, Nippon Paper said in a statement on Wednesday.
The quake, which had a shallow depth of 10km (six miles), shocked residents across Kumamoto.
Hiroko Ogata, a 75-year-old restaurant owner in the city of Yatsushiro, told the BBC she hid under a table at her restaurant when the quake struck and swayed violently along with it.
"I have lived here for 75 years, but I have never experienced such a big quake," she said. "I thought I would die."
Warren Hudson was interviewed by Officer Tatum in an attempt to exonerate himself. However, he actually incriminates himself throughout that interview. And I want to make clear that it was the authorites, mainly the local Sherrif who announced ONE HOUR AFTER Nolan Wells body was found 2 days later mind you the morning of July 6th, that Nolan Wells case "was an accidental drowning" and "no signs of foul play" MERELY BASED ON him talking to Warren and the other people that went to Horn island on that boat with Nolan Wells. Sure, these people are considered witnesses. But if Nolan was left behind by these "friends", then how would they know it was an accidently drowning and no signs of foul play if they were not with Nolan? Come on. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, how would the local Sheriff? If Nolan was left behind wouldn't the Sheriff want to know who Nolan was last with on that island? or wouldn't the Sheriff want to know if Nolan left on another boat who was Nolan with? Wouldn't the local Sheriff want to wait for an official autopsy before making that conclusion an hour after finding Nolan's body on the shore not floating in the water. Nolan's body was on the shore right at the water line according to United Cajun Navy leader who also added that it appeared Nolan's body did not look bloated after Nolan was supposedly at sea for 2 days. According to Google AI, warm water like the water around Horn Island, speeds up the bloating process and outer layers of the skin start to peel off for being in the water for 2 days. And no mention of how the marine scavengers affected Nolan's body in the sea off of Horn Island, MS and after Nolan's body supposedly washed up on the shore.
1) What stood out to me was when Warren said his buddy was shouting at Nolan to get on the f-ing boat several times because the boat was sinking and they needed to leave. Then added that Nolan said he was going stay behind to leave on another boat. But then Warren totally contradicts himself when he brought up that his buddy who knows Katy called Katy to find out if Nolan was with her and she told his buddy that the last time she (Katy) saw Nolan was around 3pm when they were shouting at Nolan to get on the boat and Katy said that's when Nolan said good-bye to her because he had to get on the boat.
2) If you were going to stay behind to hang out with other friends and leave with other friends, wouldn't you make sure you grabbed your belongings from the boat you came on? Wouldn't you especially grab your cell phone and house/car keys from the boat you came on? Because when you get back to the mainland, you're going to need your cell phone to call for a ride back home or to pick up your car or to call your mom to check in with her? Your cell phone is your lifeline period. Just to have on you in case of emergency.
3) The distress call was made around 4:30pm on July 4th. However, as I said earlier Warren said his buddy was shouting at Nolan Wells to get on the f-ing boat because the boat was sinking AND Warren CONFIRMS in his interview with Officer Tatum that his buddy talked to Katy the next day July 5th to find out if Nolan Wells was with her and Katy said NO, the last time she saw Nolan Wells was around 3pm when his friends were shouting to get on the boat and Nolan Wells said good-bye I have to get on the boat. That means his friends boat and Katy's boat were close together. So Katy saw Nolan get on his friends boat with Warren.
4) So, ask yourselves, if the boat was sinking at the time Warren said his buddy was shouting at Nolan Wells to get on the f-ing boat which Katy said was around 3pm, first of all why the heck would they be leaving the island IF THE BOAT WAS SINKING? That makes no sense. In other words, why are you going to drive the boat into deeper water if the boat is sinking at the shore? Wouldn't you stay close to shore or at the shore so you can wait on dry land while you wait for help to get the boat towed back to the mainland? And second, Katy said Nolan left her to get on the boat at 3pm because his friends were shouting at him to get on the f-ing boat. BUT BUT BUT... the distress call was made around 4:30pm North Northwest OFF THE TIP of Horn Island. That's an hour and a half later.
5) I have a video I'm going to upload here in a minute that shows two people with nautical experience that clearly state that the boat owner and captain are liable for everyone that left the mainland on that boat on July 4th.
6) Warren made an unconscious/consious statement during the Officer Tatum interview. He said, "Why didn't Nolan just wake up." Why would he say such a thing if his story is that Nolan stayed behind to be with Katy and Nolan said he was going to catch a ride on another boat WITHOUT his cell phone and without his home/car keys.
7) I forgot to mention, Warren told Officer Tatum when they went to visit Horn Island to continue the interview, Warren said, "Obviously we were in an emergency, the boat, we were trying to save the boat. It's not like we didn't ask Nolan or we just left Nolan. Nolan decided to stay on the island with the girl that he was with AND THE GIRL IS A WITNESS TO THAT TOO." Say what? But Warren told us in another part of the Officer Tatum interview that his buddy called Katy the next day July 5th because his friend knew her to ask if Nolan was with her AND Katy told his buddy that Nolan was not with her. The last time she saw Nolan was at 3pm when the friends were yelling at Nolan to get on the f-ing boat and Nolan said good-bye I have to get on the boat.
8) Warren told Officer Tatum in the exclusive interview on Horn Island "I grabbed my cell phone when we left the beach to get on the boat with Wyatt because we were having boat issues." And in another part of the Officer Tatum interview I type a transcript of what Warren said,
"my buddy Wyatt pulled the plug and we planed off. We moved all the weight to the front of the boat to plane off. Eventually we planed off. So when you're planed off and you have water in the boat and you're hauling, we're going pretty fast, probably 40-42 mph. So all that access water that was built up on the boat was coming out of the boat. So I mean that's what we had to do. SO WE RAN INTO FORT BAYOU. We didn't run straight to my buddy's grandparents house. We ran into Fort Bayou. A couple of us jumped into the water and Wyatt, the whole reason to stop was to so Wyatt could hop in and to put the plug back in the boat. So then after that we docked it and I went back to my buddy's house and we ate and napped for a little bit. It was a long day at the island. We were all tired. Eventually we go over a girlfriend of mine she was having people over for 4th of July we're doing fireworks and stuff. We all went over there to swim and hang out. I never got in the pool. I talked to her dad for awhile. I mean all my friends were downstairs. I was upstairs talking to her dad. We were talking about boats and stuff. I mean I had been with my friends all day. I was just talking to everybody. I went back downstairs and all my friends are just hanging out. My buddy Wyatt talking about Nolan and I was just like, "Well where is Nolan have you heard from him? and he was like, "No we haven't." And I was like,"Okay well." It's a little concerning like I mean I'm not freaking out or anything but like I'm trying to find where Nolan is. So I texted Jevon and I was like hey and also a couple other buddies that I had at the island. I was like, "Hey have you all seen Nolan? Did he ride in with yall?" And all of them said no." So I texted Jevon and I was like, "Hey can you send me Ms. Christine's number?" Because I hadn't heard from Nolan and if she hasn't heard from Nolan, I'm calling the Coast Guard.
WAIT A MINUTE RIGHT THERE. How the hell does Warren think Nolan is going to be able to call anybody if they admit they kept Nolan's phone on the boat? OR I should say based on their story, they knowingly let Nolan Wells stay behind on an island without his cell phone. And Nolan's mom's friend would later retrieve Nolan's cell phone that was kept inside one of their homes. So they brought Nolan Wells' cell phone into their home from the boat.
"Jevon sends me her number. I walk down to the dock because there was a lot of people there. There's not a lot but there was probably 15 of our friends there and I was like walk down to the dock with a couple of my buddy's. I called Ms. Christine. I called her the first time she didn't answer. I called her a 2nd time and I got on the phone with her and I asked her if she heard from Nolan? She said no and I said alright don't freak out I'm going to call the Coast Guard. This was about 11 o'clock.
Officer Tatum asked Warren. So what's your intent on calling the Coast Guard? Nolan can be with a chick or he could be with somebody else. He could have gone back with somebody. What made you concern enough you felt like you couldn't wait it out anymore you had to call the Coast Guard?
"Well, I mean, like I said my friends and I had been on the water our whole life. Stuff happens. People die all the time. I know people that have died out there. And you know it's a fun place to be but it's also very very very dangerous place to be if you're not handling it right. 👈🏻🚩 And ah, Nolan, So I hadn't heard from him and obviously I'm thinking I way rather be safe than sorry. I mean I would rather call a Coast Guard a hundred times than lose my mind over it. My buddy be okay than not and me not knowing where he is and him not be okay. So I called the Coast Guard and I talked to them on the phone for like 20 minutes. Gave them a description, what Nolan was wearing, the last known place we were at, the last time I saw him, who were you with, what boat we were on, the conditions of the water. Just a summary. And ah, I called Ms. Christine back after and I talked to her and I said I got in contact with the Coast Guard. I'm not sure who she called or what she did. I think she said she was going to make a couple phone calls to either Demar or Jackson County Sheriff's office. I mean yeah, I was thinking worst case scenario. Like I mean, I you know I would way rather be safe than sorry about this you know. That's the 1st phone call at least I made and I would assume that the 1st phone call she got from anybody. Because Jevon hadn't called her and you know there's nothing wrong with that. But Jevon hadn't called her and ah, I was just worried about my friend you know stuff happens out there, boat problems, it could be anything. But um I mean there's a lot of stuff that happens out there. I was just worried about my friend."
Now you have to ask yourselves why Warren is so damn worried if they insist Nolan stayed behind on Horn island to be with Katy and Warren's friend who is there with him knows Katy. And you notice how Warren tries to throw Jevon who is one of Nolan's best friends who he grew up with under the bus. Warren had to call Jevon to get Nolan's mom's phone number. Warren didn't even have Nolan's mom's phone number. Why would Jevon need to be worried? I bet you Jevon saw Nolan Wells leave Horn Island on the boat with Warren and the rest of the friends. So there would be NO REASON for Jevon to be worried and therefore no reason for Jevon to call Nolan's mom that night on July 4th. In this same interview Warren said when he found out they found Nolan Wells body, "He was devastated because he had never experienced anything like that in his life. It was really really hard on me. It was so traumatic.". BUT BUT BUT... remember Warren said, "Well, I mean, like I said my friends and I had been on the water our whole life. Stuff happens. People die all the time. I know people that have died out there. And you know it's a fun place to be but it's also very very very dangerous place to be if you're not handling it right. 👈🏻🚩(emphasis mine)
Chronicle Speaks published July 25, 2026: Nolan Wells: Audio PROVES He Returned to the Boat? “He’s Dead!” “Nolan!” The phone call Nolan Wells’ “friends” made to Sea Tow may be the smoking gun that finally helps bring justice for Nolan. During the call for help with a sinking boat—whose bilge pump had allegedly failed—you can seemingly hear the passengers in the background calling Nolan’s name, asking if he is dead, and telling someone to check his chest. If that is what is being said, it sharply contradicts their claim that Nolan never returned to the boat with them. Shortly after Nolan disappeared, those same “friends” reportedly retained attorneys. Now, this newly released audio is raising serious questions about what really happened on that boat and whether investigators were given the full story.

UPDATE 7/25/26 at 3:44pm: Sorry it took me so long to add this video. I had to put it together and download it onto my GlobalAwareness101 Rumble account to be able to share it on here.
GlobalAwareness101 published July 25, 2026: Man with 30yrs nautical experience explains maritime law regarding Nolan Wells.
According to Google AI: yes, a boat captain is legally responsible for the safety, well-being, and conduct of all passengers on board. Under maritime law, the captain holds ultimate authority and accountability for the vessel from the moment it casts off until it docks.
Core Responsibilities
Physical safety: Ensuring everyone has proper safety gear, like life jackets, and handling emergencies or medical issues
Vessel operation: Driving and navigating the boat safely according to local and federal rules of the road.
Onboard rules: Setting and enforcing strict safety guidelines that passengers must follow.
Ultimate authority: Having the final say on all decisions, including turning back or removing unruly guests
I aked Google AI: How about the owner of the vessel?
According to Google AI: The owner of the vessel shares legal and financial responsibility for the passengers, but their liability focuses on providing a safe, seaworthy boat rather than managing the minute-to-minute operations on the water.While the captain is responsible for real-time safety, the owner faces significant liability if they fail to maintain the vessel properly or hire an incompetent crew.
Division of Responsibility
Vessel seaworthiness: The owner must provide a structurally sound boat with all federally required, functioning safety equipment.
Negligent entrustment: Owners are legally liable if they knowingly lend or charter their boat to an unqualified, unlicensed, or intoxicated captain.
Vicarious liability: In commercial setups, the owner is generally held responsible for the negligent actions or mistakes made by the captain and crew they employed.
Operational immunity: Owners are typically not liable for sudden, unpredictable passenger behavior or navigation errors if they were not on board and the boat was well-maintained.
UPDATE 7/25/26 at 4:41pm: I wanted to include this part of the press conference where Nolan's mom describes what happened after her friend Tashima went to Noland's friend's house to pick up Nolan's cell phone the night of July 4th after Warren called Nolan's mom frantic worried about not knowing where Nolan was and if she had heard from Nolan. BUT why didn't Nolan's friends call Nolan's mom to pick up Nolan's phone? Nobody called Nolan's parents to pick up Nolan's house/car keys or cell phone. Or to ask if Nolan was home so Nolan could come and pick up his house/car keys and cell phone. These so-called "friends" had Nolan's cell phone and house/car keys inside their home with them. His so-called "friends" could've said something like, "Hi Ms. Christine could you let Nolan know that we have his keys and cell phone he left behind when he gets back home and to come and pick them up." No, instead Warren calls Nolan's mom freaking out. (emphasis mine)

Law&Crime Network published June 15, 2026: Police Chief Slapped with 70 Charges in Shocking Sex Crimes Scandal. Chad Essert, 44, is the police chief of Bethel, Ohio. But years before that, Essert worked as an instructor for the Young Marines program. During that time, the Clermont County prosecutor says Essert groomed a girl who was taking part in the program and had sexual contact with her from 2005 to 2010. Now, Essert faces 70 felony charges related to the allegations. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy looks at the case in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.
Law&Crime Network published June 23, 2026: Police Chief Claps Back At Sick Sex Charges. Chad Essert, 44, is back in Ohio to answer to 70 felony charges involving allegations that he had sexual contact with a girl in a Young Marines program. Deputies in Pinellas County, Florida, took Essert into custody on a warrant. Essert had been on leave from his job as police chief of the village of Bethel. Now he's entered a plea, and his attorney is denying the allegations. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy goes through video of Essert's arrest and talks with his attorney in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.
LOCAL 12 published June 15, 2026: 'Supposed to protect and serve': Ohio community shocked by police chief's arrest. Bethel's Police Chief Chad Essert is facing 56 counts of sexual battery, 14 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and potentially 240 years in prison.
VILLAGE OF BETHEL, Ohio (WXIX) — Village of Bethel Police Chief Chad Essert has submitted his resignation amid the 70 counts of sexual abuse charges he faces, according to a letter signed by Mayor Jay Dee Noble II Friday.
The mayor of the village announced that he accepted the resignation, which will be effective July 9.
“Chief Essert’s resignation comes as the Village Solicitor’s office was investigating allegations first brought to the Village’s attention by the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office. Had Chief Essert not resigned, a hearing would have been held on July, 9, 2026 before Village Council to consider his removal from office.” Nobel said.
Charges and indictment
Essert was arrested June 11 and pleaded not guilty in Clermont County Common Pleas Court after a grand jury indicted him on charges involving an alleged minor victim, prosecutors said. He is charged with 56 counts of sexual battery and 14 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Prosecutors allege the conduct occurred at locations across Clermont and Hamilton counties between 2005 and 2010. During that time, Essert was an instructor for the Young Marines and a teacher at Scarlet Oaks in Sharonville, investigators said.
“The allegations describe a prolonged pattern of grooming and sexual exploitation by the defendant rather than a single lapse in judgment,” Prosecutor Laura Baron Allen said.
Judge Victor Haddad set Essert’s bond at $500,000 after prosecutors asked for $1 million and the defense argued for a lower amount.
“He just wants to post bond, get out and get home,” defense attorney Jay Clark said.
How the investigation began
The allegations surfaced during an unrelated investigation into Essert, authorities said. That earlier complaint alleged Essert drove his take-home police vehicle to Dayton for consensual sex with a woman he had pulled over for speeding in a school zone and did not ticket. Investigators said no crime occurred in that case and closed it.
Resignation ends removal proceedings
Noble had also filed charges with the village council seeking Essert’s removal, citing “dishonesty, immoral conduct, neglect of duty, and other acts of malfeasance,” Noble wrote in a memo posted to the village’s Facebook page.
Noble said Essert’s resignation ends the need for any further investigation or hearing. The village will report Essert’s departure to the appropriate Ohio agencies as a resignation while under investigation, as required by Ohio law.
Essert is no longer being paid. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to 280 years in prison.
Acting chief to remain in role
Acting Chief Donald Fourth will continue to lead the Bethel Police Department while a search for a new police chief is conducted, Noble said.
Law&Crime Network published Mar 27, 2026: Crying Cop, Husband Accused in Twisted Sex Crimes Case. A Massachusetts police officer and her husband faced a judge on shocking charges of child rape and sexual abuse allegedly involving their adopted son. Plymouth officer Samantha Pelrine and her husband, Daniel Forand, were arrested after their now-adult adopted son reported the abuse, which allegedly started when he was just 14 or 15. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber takes you inside the courtroom, where their defense attorneys pushed back hard against the allegations.
NBC10 Boston published March 26, 2026: Plymouth police officer and her husband charged with rape of teen. A young man who was in the care of the couple as a teenager told authorities they sexually assaulted him for years.
CBS Boston published March 26, 2026: Plymouth police officer and husband accused of child rape released on bail. Plymouth police officer Samantha Pelrine and her husband were arrested Thursday and charged with multiple counts of child rape.
Plymouth police officer Samantha Pelrine and her husband, Daniel Forand, were due back in court Monday, June 8, on child rape charges, but the hearing was rescheduled for July 23. <==
Pelrine, 31, faces three counts of aggravated child rape and one count of child rape, according to court records. Forand, 37, faces three counts of aggravated child rape and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over.
They are currently out on bail after being arraigned in Plymouth District Court in March. Pelrine is on leave from the police department.
The allegations stem from a person who sought a restraining order against the couple on March 17, describing in the complaint yearslong sexual and physical abuse.
What the prosecution and defense say about the abuse charges against Samantha Pelrine and Daniel Forand
During the arraignment, Assistant District Attorney James Duffy said the incidents began when the boy alleging abuse was 14. About a year later, the sexual abuse began by Forand and later by Pelrine, the prosecution said. The abuse continued until 2025, Duffy said.
Joseph Krowski Jr., who is representing Pelrine, offered a series of events that called into question the complainant's fear for his safety. This included asking to continue to work for Forand's company and wanting to participate in Sunday dinners and vacations with the couple.
Forand's attorney Tamari Kovach painted the alleged victim as a "troubled young man (who) had not been following the house rules."
When Plymouth police officer Samantha Pelrine was placed on leave
The Plymouth Police Department placed Pelrine on paid administrative leave March 17 after being informed by the Massachusetts State Police that she was the subject of a criminal investigation. Pelrine has been with the department since 2022.
That was the same day an abuse prevention order was issued against Pelrine and Forand, according to a copy of the order obtained by The Patriot Ledger.
The judge at the March arraignment also extended the restraining order against Pelrine and Forand.
The order notes that Pelrine and her husband must stay away from the complainant’s residence and at least 100 yards away from the complainant. The two were also ordered to surrender any guns, ammunition or gun licenses to police.
The judge also impounded all documents related to the case.

I've been asked many times if I still track the stock market. My answer is a resounding yes. The stock market is in my blood. I'm still tracking the markets, still doing research and still following economic news. This is the one industry that is the heart of global productivity. It is essential in pumping the necessary oxygen (capital) to corporations that in turn hire employees who will in turn produce the products and services that we all use. Capitalism is a very very important element to humanity. It is what fuels dreams, self-reliance and individualism!
