It is suspicious timing to say the least that Bob Novak comes out with a column claiming that prominent US Cardinals Wuerl and Egan invited pro-choice politicians to Holy Mass and at the same time Cardinal Egan is saying he "warned Rudy Giuliani" not to receive communion. Either Novak is in error or Egan is employing that well-honed skill that the Bishops have perfected - damage control.
Either way, it is a fact that while the Church hierarchy has clearly enunciated that canon law prohibits a public and persistent sinner from Communion, the U.S. Bishops have waffled in their enforcement and once again this year have deferred a definitive statement on the matter until "after the election" as they did four years ago. In doing so, they bring scandal on the faithful, especially those who have toiled for the unborn for a generation, often against powerful interests in government and industry.
The sin of the bishops reminds me of the sin of David who for lust for a woman exposed his own general in battle. The pro-life warriors like Judy Brown of American Life League, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests For Life, and Fr. Enteneuer of Human Life International, while tirelessly working for the unborn are continually undercut by bishops who are more interested in cozying up to political power and enjoying the trappings of their office than speaking the truth.
The two Cardinals mentioned have questionable pasts themselves as Egan has been linked to the shuttling of sex abusive priests while a bishop in Connecticut and Wuerl likewise while in Pennsylvania was known as "gay-friendly". That such morally weak pastors are less likely to confront the sin of abortion committed by the powerful is no surprise. That the Pope can't seem to persuade them otherwise is the puzzling paradox of our time.
Note: When the EU Constitution was drafted and circulated, it contained no mention of the Christian heritage of Europe, its contributions to western civilization or any positive effect at all. Pope John Paul II and the Vatican made a request that it be amended to do so and were rejected. The article below however shows the warm relationship between Freemasonry and the EU leadership. So it's no surprise that the Church was repudiated.
Masonic Influence in the EU By The Brussels Journal Created 2008-04-17 11:11
The French Federation of Le Droit Humain represented by its president, Michel Payen, met on April 8, 2008 with the president of the European Commission, Jose-Manuel Barroso, [...] This meeting constitutes a major event regarding the place of Freemasonry in the construction of Europe; this place was underscored not only by the interest and attentiveness that President Barroso showed to the delegation and the time he accorded them, but also by the commitments he made to the values espoused by liberal and adogmatic Freemasonry, its positions and its opinions on subjects of concern. It was the first time that Freemasonry, as such, was able to express itself to such a high level European institution.
The delegation received assurances from President Barroso of his attachment to the spirit of "lacite" and to the principle of separation of religion from the State. The delegation stressed the importance of the Enlightenment in the history of Europe, a dimension to be taken into account at least equally with its religious roots, and certainly more closely tied to the roots of antiquity.
Finally, a principle of communication between the liberal and adogmatic Masonic Orders and the services of the European Commission, to be used whenever needed, was decided upon. Thus the French Federation of Le Droit Humain will propose, in the near future, a recommendation concerning the principle of emancipation that ought to form the basis of all European education systems, in direct relation to a recognition of the contribution of the Enlightenment to the common culture of the peoples that compose Europe, and in accordance with the principles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Commentary: Michael Brown of SpiritDaily.com calls for a "cleansing" of the priesthood to rid the Church of the filth that has permeated every level of the hierarchy 9but 1 I hope). While I also share this dream, I also am realistic on two levels that it will not happen anytime soon.
First of all, the virus by its nature spreads to where it can best survive. So it is in all the chanceries, seminaries and power positions. It controls media releases and writes speeches for the Pope when he travels.
Secondly, there is scriptural basis for a purge that happens once and only once, near to the end times. Jesus in His parables cautioned not to uproot the weeds for sake of the wheat. As well, it is said that the goats and the sheep will be separated when he calls forth his angels in judgment. While the Church has always had the tool of excommunication available for those who teach false doctrines, what we have in the current case is a more shadowy expression of apostasy. It may be that only God can tell who is who.
We like to think of the hierarchical structure as being the most efficient and effective for wielding power and authority. But a type of collegiality exists whereby the members are cautious not to step on each other's toes lest an internecine war break out. Such a war will occur, but in God's own time...
From SpirityDaily.com IN WAKE OF POPE WHAT WE NEED NOW IS THE COMPLETE CLEANSING OF OUR PRIESTHOOD
Is a purification now underway in the Church?
It is a question that hangs in the air after the extraordinary papal visit.
Much to everyone's surprise, the horrific scandal surrounding homosexual abuse of youth by priests was brought front and center to the stage by a courageous pontiff who clearly saw what that scandal threatened.
He didn't mention much about the war in Iraq. He didn't take on genetics and cloning the way one might have expected (given their potential for future harm). There was an indelible allusion to restoring nature (when the Pope used the profound expression that we must "rediscover the authentic image of Creation"). There was also a message about immigrants and minorities and abortion, about unity.
But for the most part, it was not a policy trip, it was a pastoral one -- and that meant taking care of the blackest mark on Catholicism since its institution in America.
The scandal remains hard to believe: at least 5,000 men consecrated to God and granted the authority of presenting Christ in the Eucharist had used that position to take sexual advantage of young people -- mainly boys. That's not current priests, but since the 1950s.
But it's still deeply shocking and that so many hundreds of priests could have abused so many thousands of youngsters (one number says 19,000, more than a thousand in the Boston archdiocese alone) struck to the very heart of the Church's legitimacy. Truly, the smoke of Satan entered the Church precisely when Pope Paul VI said.
It is now time -- clearly -- to get rid of every last abuser, and to cleanse the priesthood also of homosexuality in general.
Those with a disordered bent need love and ministry but -- pending deliverance -- should not be wearing a collar.
There is the potential for the scandal to fade if bishops now follow through and if the Vatican takes further strong steps. If a bishop or even a cardinal is included, so be it. We won't judge. We'll let the Vatican.
Clearly, Benedict would like this. And his message is that he would rather have fewer good priests than a greater number who are compromised. On April 15th the Holy Father said: "Only healthy people, only people with a profound personal life in Christ and who also have a profound sacramental life can be admitted to the priesthood. It is more important to have good priests than to have many priests."
How right he is: a cleansed priesthood, a devout priesthood, and a holy priesthood will bring the Church -- and vocations -- roaring back.
Let the purification go full bore.
It was probably the priest shortage that caused many bishops to shield abusers. There is also the old adage that what the Church fears most is scandal.
There was no one phrase and no one gesture that stood out on the Pope's trip. Instead, it was the theme of a devastating scandal and need to purge it -- completely.
It was repeated. And repeated again. Once more also.
It was a theme that will either fall by the wayside or open up a floodgate.
In the hopes of many, it will be the latter.
For those abused by priests are not the only ones who have suffered.
So have millions sitting in the pews as "shepherds" who were actually wolves decimated the traditions.
For decades, faithful Catholics have endured an extremely unbalanced clergy: loyal, dedicated priests on one hand, barely Catholic ones on the other -- and not just homosexual.
It is time for the barely Catholic ones to turn completely Catholic -- Catholic in the definition of Rome -- or leave. Often, those of a disordered sexuality are also hostile to devout Catholicism -- equating it with rejection of their mindset.
A purified Church, however small, is what must now be sought -- and what Pope Benedict so clearly and bravely indicated.
We're not talking about extremists. We're not talking about those who go to the other end of the spectrum, denouncing everyone who doesn't kneel the way they do.
We're talking about those who have diminished the way we see Jesus.
Much of it has come by way of those of troubled orientation.
We get distressed when we get e-mails like this:
"For over seven years Minnesota has been noted has a flashpoint in the debate on sodomy inclusion in Catholic theology. The Vatican has directly stepped in on several incidents in the last couple years most notably when Rome directly intervened on Saint Joan of Arc parish and then when the retiring archbishop lost control of his Cathedral, a Vatican Cardinal personally intervened to regain authority over this sacred landmark.
Why are openly homosexual groups allowed to control parish halls -- and often much more than parish halls?
In the news this week -- on at least one Catholic website -- is the claim by a former priest and Church critic that a major cardinal who is now retired recruited seminarians as sexual partners. We hate even referring to this.
But the Sixties led to a culture of sexual perversity and many of those who fell into the realm of homosexuality chose to join the priesthood either because it did not matter to them that they couldn't participate in the heterosexual shenanigans that suddenly dominated our entire culture (discouraging those of normal sexuality from choosing celibacy) or because -- in a world where men were all single -- they could hide their orientation.
Admission of a few led to admission of more and then what at times seemed like close to thirty percent or higher in some especially distraught dioceses.
These were men who may well be very good souls but also suffer (as we all can) from an imbalance.
For the moment, the "why" is not so important. What is important is to help these men and to replace them (if deliverance does not work) with those of balanced psychology.
We do not want to sound harsh. The core of Christianity is love. Without it -- and this means unconditional love -- we are not true Catholics. It is not to condemn.
It is to purify.
For a while, there will be a shortage. Such is part of a purification.
Will it go further?
There are certainly other problems. An anti-traditional mindset has permeated the priesthood, often exhibiting itself in disallowance of holy songs (which were replaced by a sterile modernistic style), discouragement of novenas (which were made to seem archaic), prohibition of Adoration, the all-but-elimination of Confession (sin was no longer sin), and rejection of mysticism -- especially apparitions and weeping statues that seem to indicate a "conservative" view and point to problems in the liberal society (as well as the priesthood).
And so with all due respect and a heavy heart and the admonition that we must love and not condemn let us urge that the "purge" first root out perversity and then focus on those who have stripped the Church of its devotions, ruined its architecture, denounced its mysticism, prevented good men from entering seminaries, introduced the New Age, diluted its music, and besmirched the Blessed Mother and saints.
It is time to purge not just those who are in jail or should have gone to jail but also to cleanse the Church of all imbalance.
No longer should the faithful be asked to endure what has occurred since the sexual revolution (and Vatican II).
No longer should feminists control the admission of seminarians.
No longer should seminaries be a home-away-from home for gays.
No longer should dioceses scoff at miracles.
No longer should a diocese be a bureaucracy (where the devout are unwelcome).
It is time to purify. It is time to take the priesthood back. It is not time for a witch hunt.
But enough is enough.
We are the Church of Jesus.
There are a good number of remarkable priests. We meet them all the time. How they survived is itself miraculous -- a profile in courage.
Let us support them and pray for a purification even if, for a while, it means one priest for every three parishes.
The Pope indicated that this is preferable to more priests than ones who are bad.
It is time to move beyond lip service. It is time to move beyond this awful scandal. It is time to shine for the world.
Let them see how the Church handles itself in tough times. Let them see our honesty.
Let only the good and balanced and devout administer the Eucharist.
The difference between how the Pope is treated in Europe compared to the cheering crowds and affection he finds in the USA has been on full display this week.
Only a few weeks ago, a university in Rome that was founded by a past pope effectively protested his impending visit there. Pope Benedict XVI cancelled and stayed home. And while there have been a few protesters along the route or outside the different venues this week, they have been few and largely marginalized.
In a particularly decent gesture, the Pope met with five people who had been caught up in clergy sexual abuse in Boston. He did so out of the spotlight and as a pastor and shepherd. It was no media event and was not announced ahead of time.
His meeting with Catholic college presidents likewise was much anticipated, especially by moretraditional catholics who have lamented for some time that the Catholic colleges had drifted too far from orthodoxy and actually were stunting the growth of religious faith. Details on that can be found at our sister site Ivory Tower Heretics and at The Cardinal Newman Society web page.
Everywhere the Pope went, you could hear affection from the crowds, from the thousands at the White House singing Happy Birthday, to the huge crowd at Mass at National's Stadium.
Contrast that with the reception he receives in Europe. When the Pope speaks there it is met with a yawn, indifference or scorn. Europe has lost its soul. The most striking rebuke was when the European Union Constitution was written and credited Greek and Roman civilizations for their contributions but omitted all mention of the Catholic Church and her 2,000 year imprint on Europe.
In the book Apocalypse - Letter by Letter, by Steven Paul, the author describes how the Book of Revelation speaks of a time when the forces of Antichrist will close in on the Vatican in Rome forcing the hierarchy to flee. She is the "Woman Clothed With The Sun." The "Woman" flees with the aid of the "Two Wings of the Eagle, The Great One" to the "Wilderness."
Paul explains that wilderness is a term for a non-Catholic country. Why would the "Woman" flee to a non-Catholic country? Perhaps because the Catholic countries have either apostatized or are under the control or influence of Antichrist.
This week's events make it seem more plausible that the USA would and will perform such an act of mercy as the rescue of the Woman. That team helped end Soviet communist domination over a billion people and will work again to keep the world free.
Note: The book "The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter: A Literary Analysis of the Book of Revelation", by Steven Paul essentially makes the same claim as this wacko from Hamas, that Rome will eventually be overrun by the kingdom of Antichrist and the Church will have to flee for safety. Isn't it ironic that this member of the Palestinian Parliament, an sort of oxymoron, sends this message while the pope is in the US?
Hamas Cleric Predicts 'Rome Will Be Conquered by Islam' Monday , April 14, 2008
A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.
The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."
"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world. "Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," he added.
Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.
"The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one's soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom," he said in a June 23, 2007 interview.
"When jihad becomes an individual duty, it applies to women too, because women do not differ from men when it comes to individual duties," he said, calling Jews "the brothers of apes and pigs" who should "taste the bitterness of death."
Friday's rant repeated that theme: "Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam.
"I believe that our children, or our grandchildren, will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and, Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them.
"Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls – and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire at whose brink they stand."
Note: You can expect a slew of articles like this one during the pope's visit timed to dampen any enthusiasm for Catholicism his visit might spur. With that said, the data was collected by the US Bishops and does reflect a lax attitude towards the core teachings of the Church, especially the sacraments.
Study Finds American Catholics Embrace Their Faith, But Not Mass Sunday , April 13, 2008
NEW YORK - American Catholics said in a new survey they were pleased with the leadership of Pope Benedict XVI, ahead of his first visit to the U.S. since he was elected. The study also found intense interest in faith among some young people.
Yet, few parishioners overall said they go to confession, and most believed they could be good Roman Catholics without going to Mass.
The poll, released Sunday, was commissioned by the nation's bishops and conducted in February by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University.
San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer, head of the bishops' communications committee, was encouraged by the openness to faith in the survey but said it highlighted the need for better religious instruction.
"The challenge for church leaders," he said, "is to help them see what Catholicism really means." Strengthening Catholic identity and observance are central themes of Benedict's papacy, and topics he is expected to address when he travels to Washington and New York starting Tuesday.
In the survey, eight of 10 Catholics said they were somewhat or very satisfied with his leadership. Nearly half a million people sought tickets to his public events in both cities.
The poll found that Catholics born before 1960 — among the most faithful parishioners — and those born since the 1980s have similar outlooks.
For Catholics who attend Mass at least once a month, an overwhelming majority of the young and older generation believe Christ is present in the Eucharist.
Even more, the younger, regular Mass-goers surpass their elders in observing Lent, with nearly all saying they abstain from meat on Fridays and receive ashes on Ash Wednesday. The young people are also more likely to consider devotion to saints very important to their faith.
However, the study found that only 36 percent of the younger Catholics attend Mass at least once a month, compared with 64 percent of the older generation.
Sixty-eight percent of all Catholics surveyed said they agreed that they believed they could be in good standing with the church without going to weekly Mass.
The poll, "Sacraments Today: Belief and Practice Among U.S. Catholics," found that nearly one-third of the nation's 64 million Catholics attend Mass in any given week. That figure has remained the same in the last five years, according to the report.
Thirty percent of the respondents said they go to confession less than once a year and 45 percent said they never go.
Regarding the church's social justice teaching, two-thirds of Catholics said helping those in need is a moral duty for Catholics.
The survey also measured satisfaction with the American church hierarchy. Seventy-two percent of Catholics said they were somewhat or very satisfied with the bishops' leadership, a 14-point jump since 2004, when the clergy sex abuse crisis was still roiling the church.
It's beginning to add up now. There is going to be a war with Iran and I predict it will be this summer. Numerous seemingly separate events are converging all at once, mostly having to do with the US and the economy.
The summer months often provoke a spike on gasoline costs. Gasoline is already at an all-time high. Consumer unrest is boiling over as truckers have begun protests and blockades in Washington DC and around the country. A war with Iran would simultaneously focus attention away from unrest and have a direct bearing on oil prices.
Recent disclosures about Iran's meddling in Iraq are also pointing towards military action. This week Gen. David Patraeus testified that Iran's government is responsible for training and supplying elements that are killing US and Iraqi soldiers and civilians at an increasing rate.
The news today is coming fast and furious. One report is that Iran has secretly been testing long range missiles capable of hitting Europe. Satellite photos were released of the bases where this activity is centered.And on top of that is another flashpoint incident of Iranian speedboats harassing Navy ships and being fired on. They just can't be this stupid, can they?
All these stories when lumped together reveal an increase of fear generation not seen since the run up to the Iraq War. It is a propaganda assault.
While the US and President Bush were accused of a "rush to war," the fact is that the military buildup for Iraq took many months, was done in the open, and was in parallel with ultimatums and threats against Saddam Hussein's regime made at the UN. No such buildup for an Iranian attack is needed. Iran is already surrounded by US and allied forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. A simple repositioning is all that would be needed and if Iran is really fueling the insurgencies in both places, there is little risk of increased violence in those places by pointing the weapons at Iran.
Removing the Iranian regime would add the missing piece in the Persian Gulf oil puzzle. It would be done in a way that appears defensive leaving adversaries such as Russia and China little room to object. Both would be privately irate and concerned as the west led by the US gains control of a huge percentage of the world's oil reserves.
The problem with the logic involved is with the vocal objection to the invasion of Iraq. The protesters shouted "No blood for oil!" But five years after the invasion, the price of oil has skyrocketed. Why? Because the price of oil is pegged to the dollar and the dollar has been greatly devalued by the debt run up to fight the war. It is a banker's paradox that to get the resource takes twice as much money as the resource is worth, not technically but because of the political means, war.
Should the Iranian people resist military operations with any degree of strength, the west would once again be faced with a long and expensive operation. But the bankers make out either way so you can expect it to happen.
And rather than wait for the uncertainty of a new president in the US, it is likely to happen this summer. The drumbeat has begun and Iran best look back at recent history if there is to be any stopping it.
Having said all that, it is my view that it will fail. I base that on the prophesy in the book, Apocalypse - Letter by Letter. I believe Iran will thwart an invasion or attack and instead rally the Muslim world through coercion in some cases, economic bribery in others. If the west is not careful, this could be a turning point towards uniting the new caliphate and causing the simultaneous removals of the west-leaning despots in control of most of those countries.
Note: It seems more and more that the US Bishops have become totally untethered from Rome and central Catholic teachings. In this instance, this bishop is even opposed to the statements of his own conference when it comes to honoring those who publicly oppose Church teaching. "In defiance of our fundamental principles"
Archbishop George Niederauer to pay tribute to "philanthropist" backer of Planned Parenthood and embryonic stem cell research
San Francisco's Archbishop George Niederauer tomorrow night will honor a "philanthropist" who, in recent years, has opposed parental notification for underage girls before they have an abortion and supported public funding for embryonic stem cell research. Niederauer will present George M. Marcus with Catholic Charities CYO's Loaves and Fishes Award at a dinner and "gala" to be held at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
This year's honorees - which include Levi Strauss & Co. and "football great" Ronnie Lott - have "through their genuine concern for and effective action in improving the lives of those in need in our community and beyond... epitomize[d] the spirit of the faith traditions of charity and generosity," said Niederauer, according to Catholic San Francisco, the archdiocesan newspaper.
Marcus, the founder and chairman of the real estate investment firm, Marcus & Millchap Co., will receive the "outstanding philanthropic works honor... " In supporting International Orthodox Christian Charities, Avenidas, and the John Burton Foundation for Children without Homes, Marcus has shown his "concern for enhancing the overall lives of local children and the elderly," said a CCCYO press release.
Did Marcus' "concern" for children, include an Oct. 6, 2005 gift of $25,000 to "No on Proposition 73 Campaign for Teen Safety"? Proposition 73, which received support from the California Conference of Catholic Bishops, would have required that parents of an underage girl be notified before she has an abortion. Proposition 85 was a similar notification measure, which Marcus opposed by giving the "No on 85" campaign $25,000 on Sept. 26, 2006. Less than two weeks later, Marcus gave the same organization another $75,000.
Marcus supported another ballot measure opposed by California's Catholic bishops. On Aug. 16, 2004, he gave $50,000 to the "Yes on 71" campaign - which pushed a ballot measure authorizing $3.5 billion for embryonic stem cell research.
Marcus' other gifts include $3,600 given in 2007 to "Mark Leno for Senate" (Leno has sponsored bills in the state legislature to legalize homosexual marriage) and, in 2006, $2,500 to Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, the political action arm of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte.
Information about Marcus' contributions comes from the "Campaign Finance" page of the California Secretary of State's web site.
In the days preceding this Friday's Loaves and Fishes Awards Dinner and Gala, the San Francisco chancery office received much of the above information about Marcus. Archbishop Niederauer was urged to demand another honoree or refuse to attend the dinner.
In 2004, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement, saying "the Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."

Note: I couldn't even bring myself to post the real title in my post. The words "erotic" and "Jesus" do not belong in the same article. that a Cardinal can't find anything wrong with this situation speaks volumes about how far gone Europe and the highest reaches of the Church have become. It absolutely disgusts me that supposed Catholic officials can't see how wrong this is. There are many non-Catholics and atheists who would respect our faith more than these people including the Cardinal. This is a sign of grave apostasy and if something isn't done soon, bloody persecution is sure to follow. While the world recoils in horror over the film made by a non-Muslim depicting Islam as having violent tendencies, our own Bishop defends this blasphemy as being artistic expression!
Erotic Jesus sparks art debate in Austria Mon Apr 7, 2008 3:21am EDT By Sylvia Westall
VIENNA (Reuters) - They knew it would be risky to exhibit a homoerotic version of Christ's Last Supper, but curators at museum of Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral weren't ready for a barrage of angry messages and calls to be shut down.
The source of the dispute, which Austrian media has dubbed Vienna's version of the Mohammad caricature row, is a retrospective honoring Austria's cherished artist Alfred Hrdlicka, who turned 80 earlier this year.
But not everyone has been wishing Hrdlicka a Happy Birthday. And the Cathedral Museum's director and Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, have both come under fire from some museum visitors and Catholic websites.
The Church hastily removed the main picture, "a homosexual orgy" of the Apostles as Hrdlicka describes it.
But the protest has continued, much to the surprise of the small Cathedral Museum which is nestled down a narrow street in Vienna's historic Gothic quarter.
The museum's director defends both Hrdlicka's work and his decision to host the artist's controversial versions of biblical imagery in a museum tied to the Catholic Church.

Note: Wait till you see what gets printed in the mainstream media during the Pope's visit. The blasphemy will know no bounds. And yet, saying anything negative about Islam, like the fact that it has an inherently violent element that even Muslims are afraid to denounce, will never be said there. Look at the photo. Seem like a fine group of young chaps out for a stroll?
Over 25,000 Pakistanis Rally Against Anti-Koran Film, Prophet Cartoons Sunday , April 06, 2008 KARACHI, Pakistan - More than 25,000 people rallied Sunday in the largest protest in Pakistan so far against an anti-Koran film made by a Dutch lawmaker, urging their government to expel the Netherlands ambassador.
"They call this freedom of expression, but it's freedom of aggression," keynote speaker Munawwar Hasan, a leader of the main Islamic party Jamat-e-Islami, told the crowd as it chanted "God is great."
The 15-minute film by Geert Wilders, which sets verses from the Muslim holy book against a background of violent images from terror attacks, was released in March. It has sparked weekly protests in Pakistan, usually drawing hundreds of people after prayers on Friday, the Muslim holy day.
But police officer Syed Suleman estimated Sunday's crowd at 25,000, while organizers claimed more than 100,000 people turned out.
Wearing head bands inscribed "We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of the prophet," they marched for two kilometers (more than a mile), then gathered on Karachi's main street to listen to speeches.
They also burned an effigy of Wilders as speakers said their government should sever diplomatic ties with Western countries supporting the publishers of cartoons defaming the Prophet Muhammad.
"The Muslim world is on one side, but Muslim rulers like (President Pervez) Musharraf are toeing the Western agenda under the garb of secularism," Hasan said, referring to Musharraf's role in Washington's war on terrorism.
Hasan said this rally, named "The glory of the prophet march," was not against the West in general, but was aimed at creating awareness among Muslims that they need to unite against a war against Islam.
Note: This is yet another departure of the US Bishops from the Vatican. This group, for whom the practice of accommodation and pragmatism is an art form, are well described in the Letter to Laodicea in the Apocalypse and in the book "Apocalypse - Letter by Letter," by Steven Paul.
For Rome it is Very Clear - Pro-Abortion Politicians 'Must' be Denied Communion By John-Henry Westen and Hilary White
ROME, March 5, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Some Catholic Bishops in North America seem to be on a different page from the Vatican when it comes to reception of Communion for Catholic politicians who support abortion. Since the controversy came to a head in the 2004 US federal election, most Catholic bishops in the US have either remained silent on the issue, or have made softer statements than the authoritative word from Rome: a word that has been re-affirmed many times and continues to be reasserted regularly.
Most recently, Francis Cardinal Arinze, speaking at a Catholic family conference in Ohio last November, referred to a letter on the subject sent by then-Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, who said that such politicians "must" be "refused" Communion.
Video footage, posted recently by the conference organisers and made available on YouTube, shows Cardinal Arinze, the head of Vatican office of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, replying to the question of pro-abortion politicians and the inaction of their bishops. He said "You may have heard about the letter which the present Holy Father, as prefect of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, sent to American bishops on that issue, so the matter is very clear."
He told those in attendance that the question is not one of Church teaching, but of the immutable divine law of God. "It isn't just that they [the politicians in question] have gone against church teaching, but they have gone against divine law; thou shalt not kill."
But since the insistence of Rome has failed to induce positive action from most bishops in the North American hierarchy and abroad, reporters continue to ask the same questions.
Romans in the know, however, repeat that the Pope's letter on the matter has solved the issue. LifeSiteNews.com spoke last month about the issue with Msgr. Andrew R. Baker a professor at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome, one of Rome's major historic institutions.
Professor Baker told LifeSiteNews.com, "Certainly you'd have to apply that famous canon of 915 that says one who persists in manifest grave sin should not be admitted to Holy Communion."
"And I think the possibility of looking at the moral principles outlined in the letter attributed to Cardinal Ratzinger that came a number of years ago - those are good moral principles to apply that canon 915."
Professor Baker's opinion is a repetition of that given in Ohio by Cardinal Arinze, who told conferees that he agrees action ought to be taken against bishops who refuse to enforce Canon 915.
Arinze elicited much laughter and applause when he made the analogy, "To the person who says, 'Personally I'm against abortion, but if people what to do it, I'll leave them free', you could say, 'You are a member of the senate or the congress, personally I'm not in favour of shooting the whole lot of you, but if somebody else wants to shoot all of you in the Senate, or all of you in Congress, it's just pro-choice for that person, but personally, I'm not in favour.'
"That is what he is saying. He's saying he's personally not in favour of killing these millions of children in the womb, but if others want to do it, that's pro-choice. That's what he is saying. "And then you ask, what does the Holy See do? Why doesn't the Pope send 12 Swiss Guards to arrest them all?"
Arinze said that he is regularly asked if a person who votes for abortion can receive Holy Communion. He replies, "Do you really need a cardinal from the Vatican to answer that?
"Get the children for first Communion and say to them, 'Somebody votes for the killing of unborn babies, and says, I voted for that, I will vote for that every time.' And these babies are killed not one or two, but in millions, and that person says, 'I'm a practising Catholic', should that person receive Communion next Sunday? The children will answer that at the drop of a hat. You don't need a cardinal to answer that."

Dr. Peter Kreeft: "We are living in a spiritual Hiroshima"
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
By Notes By Joe Wemhoff - The Annual Parish Respect Life Coordinator Conference, Archdiocese of Chicago
How to Win the Culture War
Dr. Peter Kreeft (pronounced "kreft") is a professor of philosophy at Boston College. He is an orthodox Roman Catholic, who has written over 45 books, and who contributes regularly to various Christian publications. Dr. Kreeft is one of the most eloquent voices for the Faith in America. This summary of Dr. Kreeft's remarks was prepared on March 9, 2008, by Joseph A. Wemhoff, from memory and from extensive notes taken during the talk. Dr. Kreeft has his own website at www.peterkreeft.com.
In the 1960s, the term "culture war" meant the conflict between the Establishment and the Counter Culture. Later, it came to mean the conflict between Science and the Humanities. The term became formalized with the publication of the book Culture Wars by James Hunter in the 1990s.
Pope John Paul II fueled the idea by drawing the distinction between the "Culture of Life" and the "Culture of Death." The term "Culture War" is simply a euphemism for the conflict between Christ and the Antichrist, with the stakes being the fate of the universe.
Sadly, today, the Antichrist controls all of the formal and informal means of education and information in America, including the media, news reporting, publishing, music, movies (Hollywood), etc. Today, pornography generates more revenue in America than any other industry except gambling.
This is not a new struggle-it has been going on since the Middle Ages. The Christian religion is now in decline, and the Antichrist is now winning, because he has convinced most people to bypass that simple word: reason. Most people today "feel;" they no longer "think."
We are living in a "spiritual Hiroshima." The Catholic Church is full of psychobabble. Our bishops have all the courage and behavior of rabbits. Since Vatican II, three-quarters of our nuns are gone. Sunday Mass attendance has declined from 75% to 25%. Belief in the Real Presence has dropped from nearly 100% to about 30%. The Catholic Church has lost the power to arrest the decline of our culture.
Properly said, ours is not a "Culture of Death," but a "Culture of Murder." There is the murder of marriage (divorce). There is the murder of the unborn (abortion). There is the murder of reason by militant feminists and by militant homosexuals. The cloning of humans promises to turn the "I am" of God into the "it is" of humanism. Science is promising eternal life by working to eliminate from humankind the "age and die" gene, which supposedly is not found in non-sexual species and in cancer cells.
Our words cannot defeat the Culture of Death, but God's words can.
Eucharistic adoration can conquer the Culture of Death.
Pope John Paul II spoke of a New Evangelization, which means not the preaching of new words, but the preaching God's timeless words to new generations of people. It's easy to be busy; it's far more difficult to be holy. We need to start by being holy. We need to join God's jihad.
There is a tendency today to substitute "spirituality" for "religion." In the Bible, the Tower of Babel represents "spirituality," while Noah's ark-with all its sights and smells and inconveniences-represents "religion." It is not easy being a Catholic.
Consider that only God, angels, and human beings are persons. God did not become angelic to redeem them, but He became man to redeem humankind.
Human life is sacred for three reasons:
1. Men and women are created in the image and likeness of God Himself. 2. Human life is linked to God's life. 3. Human beings are destined to share in eternal life with God.
As portrayed in the book Christ and the University, the Humanities are ground zero in the current Culture War, in the battle between Christ and the Antichrist. This is because college professors now have the power over young minds that priests and saints and kings once had.
The dark, black spot at the center of intellectual thought these past decades is a deconstructionism which says that truth is nothing more than "the hypocritical mask on the face of power." We are lead to believe that there is no objective truth, and that all is relative. It used to be that Science was the source of deconstructionist ideas, but, scientists must deal in facts, and facts tend to be real. Now the Humanities are the major source of deconstructionism.
The only two moments of peace in history are in Genesis (before history) and in the Apocalypse (after history). All of human history in between is full of war and of spirits thirsty for the blood of children.
Pro-choice people will not-indeed, cannot-listen to reason. Pro-choice people are insane and will not convert to reason-they will attempt to convert reason. Dr. Kreeft cited several cases. In one of his books-which, he bemoaned, are read only by pro-lifers-he made an airtight, logical argument that tolerating abortion is tantamount to tolerating infanticide. Confronted with this logic, pro-choicers said, yes, Dr. Kreeft, you just showed us how infanticide is now OK.
During World War II, I.G. Farben GmbH of Germany made Zyklon B, the gas used to kill so many in the gas chambers. Today, a French successor company to I.G. Farben makes the abortifacient RU-486. Either the face of evil has changed little, or the devil has a limited range of business contacts.
There are five aspects of the Culture War to be considered.
History of the Jihad
Since the Middle Ages, humanity has been on a slow, ever-ascending upward slope of becoming smarter, healthier, and more technologically advanced, while, at the same time, being on a slow, ever-descending slope of becoming weaker morally.
God's grace will save us, but on two conditions:
1. We ask for it, which means that we must value wisdom and holiness more than cleverness and worldly riches. 2. We believe that God will deliver (not to believe is to call God a liar).
These past centuries, mankind has fluctuated between the sins of despair and presumption. Despair is represented by Camus and other Existentialists. Presumption is exemplified by Rousseau, the Enlightenment, and by New Age ideas and practices.
We are entering an apocalyptic age, which might be described as Brave New World or as The Abolition of Man-each of which, ironically, is also the title of a book by Aldous Huxley and by C. S. Lewis, respectively. We should recall that the Bible predicts that the Great Tribulation of the end times will be so bad that no flesh would survive if God did not shorten the days.
In the First Millenium after Christ, the Church won the world. But then, she became fat and weak. The Second Millenium has belonged to the Antichrist. We are now in the Third Millenium, and the outcome these next thousand years is anything but clear.
We need to remember that this world is not our home; heaven is.
Note: Steven Paul's sister, Nancy had written to him lamenting a "wasted life" that now culminated in her being severely disabled and living alone in a mobile home park. His reply to her is below. This letter gives a little more insight into the mind and heart of Steven Paul.
Friday March 29, 2000
Hi Nancy,
I am responding to express my gratitude to your letter dated 3/24/00, in the first reason to express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness, and in second reason to clarify some matters to you. The latter reason makes the most part of this letter.
You wrote: "At 50, it's sad, I still don't know what my purpose in life is - I just keep asking God to show me BUT with neon signs! [Our sister] says the same thing!"
You silly sister of mine, must I point out to you (and our sister) what you already know? Begin with the question of what is the purpose most fundamental to any individual, and the answer is obvious: to change from a soul doing its own will [selfish love] to one that does the will of God [unselfish love]. St. John clearly and plainly stated that "God is love." Intellectually, reason makes us the likeness of the Creator. Volitionally, love makes us the likeness of Him. God, who is omniscient, is much more interested in the works of your heart than of your head. Remember what St. Paul said about the way greater than all others: "Thee abide faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love." [Corinthians, Ch. 13] Christ on the cross is not a sign of intellectual work, but the sign of the greatest act of love, a volitional work of obedience.
Stop such silliness of questioning right now! And [sister] too! Your "purpose" is presented to you every day in many times and places. Don't judge merely by external things, but by the response of the heart or will. Works of love move around the world immediately, for love is spiritual and in the mystical body of Christ. Do you know who the patron saint of missionaries is? St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, who never left her convent. Though you live in a small mobile home, Nancy, your spirit can affect someone in India or right next door. Distance is irrelevant, for nothing travels faster than spirit. Your purpose in life is to perform acts of love. Some people work and earn a paycheck, then give money to help others. Some sit in their wheelchair and say the Rosary and pray for the souls in purgatory. Some write books for the instruction of others, as did the philosopher - theologian St. Thomas Aquinas. Some are mothers and fathers. I think you get the point.
The way of the cross, i.e., the way of suffering, is the hardest of all. God chooses the way of suffering more for some souls than for others. Physical and mental agony test and prove beyond what words can describe. I am not talking about hardships, such as a man's working two jobs to support his family. No, no, no, I am talking about suffering, suffering which seemingly reduces a rational human to I do not know what. Even Christ prayed: "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. But not my will, but thine, be done."
Suffering is a horror, and only great grace from God enables the individual to endure it without turning away from God. We are very, very fragile and weak creatures, Nance, and very few of us can endure more than a little suffering. Ask yourself: can one work 80 hours a week, having good health, and be joyful? Yes. Can one lie in agony on a hospital bed, in great pain, and also be joyful? Only by God's greatest graces. Aye, I understand your fear that you won't be able to take care of yourself, and [our brother-in-law]'s fear of spending years in a nursing home. If something is external to you and beyond your control, then so be it. The thing is that you never know what life will bring to you. God got you out of one mess; perhaps He will do so again. Sufficient for today is the evil thereof. You might remain in your mobile home till age 60, then die in your sleep. Who knows?
Forget your past stupidity: those days are gone. Enjoy what you have been given since then. Pray [your brothers] change too. There is good in them, and prayer may reap good fruit long after the prayer. Do you know they admire you for your cheerfulness in spite of many hardships? We don't care whether you are Einstein, for we know you would give your last dollar to help us. You are the lesson that heart is worth infinitely more than head. Study that for a while.
Well, you expect in feline felicity x4, go easy.
Steve
Note: Nancy took Steve's advice and proceeded to minister to other's in the mobile home park. Across the street lived twins, Joan and Joyce. They had never separated or married and were in their 60's. Both were alcoholic. When Joan died of cancer, Joyce was left alone like a child. Nancy told her God loved her and brought her to church for the first time since she was a child. There the priest put his hands on Joyce's head and she felt she was saved. She received the sacraments and when she became terminally ill from years of drinking, she died in peace and grace. Nancy would die a couple of years later after a long painful life of suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis. But she helped many people find a closer relationship to Christ through His mother and the sacraments.
Came across this video and hoped it was an Anglican but unfortunately this is a Roman Catholic Priest. I may be a bit old fashioned but I was led to believe that my own presence at a protestant "church" was considered scandalous and to be discouraged. So I don't go even when the wedding there is a close relative.
This is ecumenism run amok, an extreme example of the false teaching directly resulting from the "reforms' of Vatican II that distorted the meaning of brotherly love to include realtivism. The priest calls Rev. Wright a "prophet". Really, I thought we were taught that the line of prpohets ended with John the Baptist. Since Christ is the revelation of God, there is no need for more prophecy.
I think you have to read and reflect on the posting I made before about the Sixth Trumpet and the first of the three woes to appreciate how many have been deceived and who is doing the deceiving.
Does this Priest have a Bishop? I'd like to hear from the Archbishop of Chicago concerning this man. What seminary produces this?
It would be easy and a bit cliche to listen to this speech and fall into the trap of limiting the warning to the current administration and the restriction of civil liberties due to the so-called war on terror. Rather, we must broaden the idea to encompass the complete corruption of both political parties, government institutions and public corporations. We are in perilous times. JFK saw it coming. Very it likely, it led to his demise.
Proverbs 30 27 The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
Apocalypse 9 3 And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle: and on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men.8 And they had hair as the hair of women; and their teeth were as lions: 9 And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had over them 11 A king, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon; in Latin Exterminans,
My brother-in-law, Steven Paul, explained that the first woe was the falling star, a holy bishop who apostatized from the faith. Indeed he identified him as Martin Luther and the woe as protestantism in general.
So the "locusts" relate to that time and that event. Steven did not go into much depth about them. He mentioned a couple of their characteristics - that breastplates of iron signified "a will hardened against all natural reason."
In the passages above, I am pointing out that in Proverbs, a characteristic of locusts is that they "have no king". They do not follow a single leader but rather they swarm together.
A major objection of protestantism is the primacy of the pope. They rejected central authority. As a result, they are untethered from the traditions and teachings of any body or person, the Church and Her pope specifically. So they are "free" to change traditional teachings at their whim or to satisfy current trends and fads, like women priests, gay marriage, gay bishops, etc.
But in Chapter 9 of the Apocalypse, they now have a king, the king of the abyss, Satan. Up until the time of the second woe, they are perfectly comfortable rejecting Christ's Vicar on earth. Instead, they opt for a more powerful and charismatic leader, an angel.
In his book, The Book of Destiny, Rev. Herman Bernard Kramer writes:
"These locusts obey him and do his work. He aims at the destruction of the Church, of the faith of his poor victims and of heir souls forever in hell. The promoters of heresy, error and immorality, are the subjects of Satan and bring irremediable and final ruin to all his followers."
Kramer goes on to give the history of opinions regarding when and whom these locusts are. My update is that we are seeing them in the persons like the current Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, folks like Eugene Robinson, and many evangelical "Christians" who rail against the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
There are also locusts inside the Church because they have not yet been cast out. We are indeed in the days of the end of the first woe and right before the second. Consider these passages carefully and don't be deceived.
My Take: This is a long history lesson on money and it's influence starting with the Roman Empire B.C. and up to the mid 90's. It provides substance to the whisper conspiracy theories about one world governance and shadow power behind the scenes.
Ever wonder about how we got into 2 wars at the same time? Remember that the Gingrich-Clinton budget deal set spending and borrowing limits and that the deficit was actually going DOWN? That reduced the money flowing from international banks and thus their influence. But there was an out left in the deal. In the event of war, the deficit could be raised and voila, now there are two of them!
Weren't we told that the Afghan War was largely won about 6 weeks into it? And that the Taliban was a weak enemy with no hard targets? How is it that we are still pumping billions of dollars into it and conducting military ops with no end?
And Iraq? The maniacal anti-war protesters took up the mantra "no blood for oil!" Yet 5 years into the war, and 2 years after a new government has been elected, 1 year after the "surge" which even the corrupt mainstream media is calling a success, the price of oil is at an all-time high and the price of gas at the pump likewise is through the roof affecting the price of everything from food to housing. And the cost is billions of dollars per month off-budget.
I confess that I was part of the 70% of the country that supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq in the name of "national security." But I now believe it was really one of the greatest manipulations of public trust ever. In this video clip posted below, you are led to the conclusion that war is good for money lenders and no one else.
Consider this - the 'war on terror" is a war with no defined enemy, no army to defeat, no timetable and no metrics for success. It is the perfect war with no end if you are the financier. Apparently the "war on drugs" lost its appeal. it likewise was an un-win-able war with no enemy, no army, no timetable, no metrics, and no end. But it didn't cost enough and the public, about 50% of whom are using illegal drugs, had no will to continue fighting it.
So watch this video if you can allot 3-1/2 hours. It might open your eyes to how the "kingdom of the beast" will be established.
A book written by former British intelligence officer John Coleman was recently released in Russia. Coleman details a conspiracy of the world's elite against mankind
Svetlana Kuzina - 01.04.2008
The Committee of Three Hundred Many people no longer believe that presidents, premier ministers and other "visible" officials rule their countries. Instead, they suspect that the real authority - one that is powerful, unwavering and secret - is concentrated in the hands of others. Like the masons for example. The truly paranoid have devised the so-called "International Conspiracy Theory," which tells how a handful of wealthy, highly positioned individuals rule the world. This group of decision-makers launches wars, invents deadly diseases and pumps the population full of narcotics, alcohol and pornography to get rid of the world's dead weight. Consequently, a population of 1 billion select individuals will someday remain. They will freely enjoy the blessings of nature - clean air, freshwater and natural food.
It seems ludicrous, but recently a British intelligence officer from M16 has asserted that this secret international organization does exist in his book, "The Conspirators Hierarchy: The Committee of Three Hundred."
"During my career as an officer in British intelligence," Coleman writes, "I received access to strictly confidential documents on numerous occasions. Their contents were unexpectedly straightforward. I learned that there are powers that control the governments of many nations. I was taken aback and decided to inform a world living in ignorance. Imagine a powerful group that doesn't recognize any national borders that is involved in the financial, insurance, coal-mining, pharmaceutical and oil industries -- whose members only answer to the group. This is the 'Committee of Three Hundred,' an elite group that has ruled the world from 1897. Its backbone today is the world's 300 most influential people."
Powerful conspirators
Coleman writes that secret organizations and think tanks work for the Committee of Three Hundred. A list of these institutions follows. As of 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has consisted of the most influential individuals in the U.S. and Western world, ranging from current and previous presidents to CIA officials. The CFR was established by the American banker J.P. Morgan, and controls the U.S. Federal Reserve system, New York Stock Exchange and leading mass media.
In 1954, the Bilderberg Group held its original conference uniting the American and European elite. (The organization was named after the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek in the Netherlands where the meeting took place.)
In 1973, a third influential structure came into being - the Trilateral Commission - consisting of representatives from the U.S., Europe and Japan. The organization's goal is to "create a mechanism of global planning and long-term repartition of resources."
Since 1968, the Club of Rome has been one of the most important foreign affairs divisions of the Committee of Three Hundred. The organization unites scholars, globalists, futurists and internationalists of various suites. The organization has its own private intelligence agencies and "borrows" information from Interpol, the FSB and Mossad.
The millionaire executive David Rockefeller controls the activities of these organizations. A short list of periphery organizations lending assistance to these four intelligence giants are: Round Table, David Millner Group, Order of St John, The German Marshall Fund of the United States, The China Fund, Inc., Fabian Society, Black Nobility, Mont Pelerin Society, Hellfire Club and the Masons.
The mother of all international think thanks and research institutions is the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, which is beginning to help the Stanford Research Institute.
Coleman writes that past and present members of the Committee of Three Hundred include the Queen of England, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Queen of Denmark, European royal families, George Bush, Edward Carter, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, Francois Mitterrand, Jean Monet, Ernest Oppenheimer and his heir Henry.
In the mid-1990s, Russia was invited to participate in establishing a single world state.
"Boris Yeltsin adhered to the decrees of the Committee of Three Hundred in an experiment to bind Russia to the will of the ruling elite," writes Coleman.
Heap of plans
Coleman describes the new world order as seen by the Committee of Three Hundred. Leaders: There will be a single world state and monetary system ruled by unelected oligarchs and their royal lineage, who will appoint leaders from their own ranks in a feudal system as existed in the Middle Ages.
Religion: Only one religion will be permitted in the form of a state church. The church has existed secretly since 1920. All Christian churches will be prohibited.
Control: All individuals will have an identification number. The numbers will be entered into a composite file at NATO in Brussels together with details dossiers.
Family: Marriages will be canceled. Children will be taken from their parents at an early age. They will be raised at special institutions like state property. Free sex will be compulsory. Children: If a woman gets pregnant after having two children, she will be immediately sent for an abortion and sterilization.
Resources: Only members of the Committee of Three Hundred and select individuals will have the right to make use of natural resources. Agriculture will be completely controlled by the Committee of Three Hundred, and food processing will be strictly controlled.
Social Policy: At least 4 billion "useless individuals" will be exterminated by 2050 as a result of territorial wars, organized deadly epidemics, quickly spreading diseases and hunger. Electrical energy, food and water will sufficiently provide for the white population of Western Europe and North America and only later different races. The populations of Canada, Western Europe and the U.S. will decrease more quickly than on other continents until the population reaches the controllable level of 1 billion. Of these individuals, 500 million will be Chinese and Japanese, who will be "chosen" as they have been subject to strict regulations and unquestioningly obeying authorities for centuries.
Current situation
Coleman asserts that individuals who are party to the single world state are strenuously brainwashing the population, rewriting history, creating ideal individuals and working to decrease the population.
Profiling is a method developed in 1922 by an order of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The method was based on principles similar to today's NLP, which helps to influence people's ideas and decisions. The method was used by Major John Riz, British military specialist, on 80,000 "guinea pigs" from the British Army and prisoners of war, who were subjected to many types of psychological testing. Later, a special brainwashing center for the civil population was established at the University of Sussex. This super-secret organization was called the Institute of Scientific Politics.
The Rockefeller Fund subsidized scholarly work to create an ideal history after the end of World War II, when Anglo-American troops naturally came out the winners.
The Rockefeller Fund is also sponsoring genetic maps of the qualities of the ideal human in closed laboratories on the basis of the genome to grow test-tube geniuses and docile invincible soldiers. A program regulating the growth of the population was approved at a conference of the world state. Its main goal is to ensure a low birth level in countries outside Western civilization. The program covers 100 countries and utilizes measures such as the forced sterilization of men and women.
Military Officer's Opinion
Vladimir Nikiforov, former KGB colonel, senior officer of the First Division of the Fifth Department of the Committee of Foreign Economic Relations, says the Masons have bought everything.
"In the 1980s, I was a supervisor in Southeastern Asia. I worked in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and China. Of course, I met with my colleagues from intelligence agencies and worked with the states of these nations. And on numerous occasions I was told about the existence of a world state in personal conversations. All presidents resist its dictatorship, but they know that they have long been puppets of this ruling system composing only 2 percent of the world's population - the richest individuals. I know for sure that the Queen of England and King of Spain and his wife are members. This so-called world state bought everything. They wage wars under the pretense of huge state interests and safety and invent artificial diseases such as the Bird Flu to control people and get rid of human dead weight. As a result, as I've been told, this secret world state will create a controllable mass. The center of the organization is in New York on Fifth Avenue in a large temple not far from where the twin towers were destroyed in 2001. They meet there from time to time."
