There Is Much Biblical Prophecy MORE THAN ONE FORTH of the Bible is dedicated to prophecy. There is prophecy relating to the first coming of Christ and prophecy relating to the second coming of Christ. The vast majority of these prophecies are dedicated to the second coming of Christ and the period preceding His coming after which He will come "in the clouds with great power and glory" (Mt 24:30; Mk 13:26; Lk 21:27). There are more than 1800 verses in the Bible that speak about the second coming of Christ and over 10,000 verses that are surrounding texts to this event. It is not by chance that there are so many prophetic verses in the Bible; these verses are for us to read! "Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand" (Rev 1:3; 2Tim 4:8); this verse proves that the book of Revelation is not some deep, mysterious and confusing book. 2. The Catechism of the Catholic Church Pope John Paul II spoke often of the second coming of Christ in his numerous talks. One also finds references to Christ's second coming, as well as to the period of his second coming, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 840: "The coming (or the return) of the Messiah"; 2816: "The kingdom of God is just ahead of us; in Christ we shall reign"; 2818: "Thy kingdom come" (in the "Our Father") refers primarily to the final coming of the reign of God through Christ's return"; 2817 (also see 671, 2853): "The petition "Marana tha" is the cry of the spirit and the Bride: "O come Lord Jesus", indeed come as soon as possible"; 349: "The eighth day begins the new creation (the 7th day is the 1000-year reign of Christ (Rev 20:4)); 1042: "The universe itself will be renewed" (not recreated); 1047: "The visible universe itself is destined to be transformed and restored to its original state"; 674: “The glorious Messiah’s coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by “all Israel,” for “a hardening has come upon part of Israel” in their “unbelief” toward Jesus” (Rom 11:20-26; cf. Mt 23:39). 3. Skeptics and the Over Critical Father Desmond A. Birch, a leading Catholic scholar and author who wrote the book, "Trial, Tribulation and Triumph", asks the following: "Is eschatology (or the study of things to come) still important in the 20th century? There are those Catholics who would tell you that to study doctrine concerning the Antichrist or the latter end times is either a waste of time or unimportant. That opinion is even held by some orthodox Catholic scholars. There are also those who say that we must not abandon ourselves to terror or to anxiety about the imminent end. However, if eschatology is a waste of time or something frightening, then WHY IS IT TREATED WITH SUCH IMPORTANCE in Scripture, in Tradition and the Magisterium or the teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church?" It is unfortunate that there are many people and cults today, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons, that MISUSE PROPHECY for there own interests and attention; this misuse of prophecy causes many to reject all prophetical studies. Years ago perhaps there were many people who spouted off warnings about the end of the world, often in an imprudent and EXAGGERATED way, etc. But today, precisely when there are more signs than ever before that match up with so many prophecies, the great majority of people DO NOT WANT TO HEAR anything about it! I truly believe that those who have the courage to look at the prophetical signs of today openly and honestly without fear and with trust in Almighty God, will be much better prepared for what many learned people of today believe will happen in our lifetime. Many people realize that things are really in bad shape today but they convince themselves that everything will crash after they are dead! I would also speculate that Pope Paul VI approved the decree of December 29, 1966 so as to not let the “smoke of Satan” in “the temple of God” stifle true private revelations for our present time. Visit: “Revelations to Margaret of Jesus” (<a href="http://markbeast.blogspot.com/2009/04/margaret-of-jesus.html">http://markbeast.blogspot.com/2009/04/margaret-of-jesus.html</a>). “EVERYTHING OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS HAPPENING” (September 25, 2001; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa9902eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa9902eng.html</a>). “Now It Is That Will Happen All The Prophecies...” (August 29, 2003; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa03eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa03eng.html</a>). 4. The "Last Days"? Are we, as many Christians believe, living in the last days? We read in the book of Daniel: "And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, “Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end"” (Dan 12:8-9). Certainly the many signs of our times, that were not present years ago, as well as recent revelations of God, help us to open up these sealed prophetic verses. See “SIGNS OF THE TIMES” below. But according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, the "last days" refers not only to the "end of time," but to THE LAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS. Scripture teaches that the Incarnation ushered in "the last days." According to Hebrews 1:1-2, "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." At Pentecost, Peter preached that "the last days" had arrived, in fulfillment of the words of the prophet Joel (Acts 2:15-17; cf. Joel 2:28-32). "The last days" or "the end times," properly understood, refers to the time of the New Covenant, the gathering together of God's people in the Church, which is "on earth, the seed and the beginning of the kingdom" (CCC 567, 669; Lumen Gentium). This understanding of the "LAST DAYS" differs from that of those who believe in premillennialism or the Rapture. Catholics agree that there will definitely be an "end of time" and that history as we know it will one day be complete. But we also recognize that each of us will face the end of our time on earth, and that this should, in many ways, concern us more than the end of the world (see CCC 1007). 5. The Church Interprets the Word of God As Catholics, we believe that “all that has been said about the manner of interpreting Scripture is ultimately subject to the judgment of the Church which exercises the divinely conferred commission and ministry of watching over and interpreting the Word of God” (CCC 119). The Church approaches Divine Revelation through Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and Magisterial teaching, each of which have equal weight in the Catholic Church, no one of which can subsist without the other two. And so the Church helps us to interpret the Word of God properly, giving us also so many magnificent documents throughout Church history to guide us. We would never be in most of the messes we contrived for ourselves if we had listened to the Church’s teaching. The Church’s social teaching is nothing new! This does not mean that the Catholic Church has definitively interpreted every single passage of Scripture or that individual Catholics cannot study Scripture for themselves. On the contrary, the Church has definitively interpreted less than a dozen passages, while encouraging Catholics to READ THE BIBLE in light of the "living Tradition of the whole Church" (CCC 113). Often the puzzling and sometimes shocking images of Revelation are INTERPRETED in clever, bizarre, and often laughable ways. Most Catholics who encounter such misinterpretations usually steer clear of the biblical books that deal with apocalyptic themes, Daniel and Revelation. They are content to let their non-Catholic friends battle over these confusing matters. This is unfortunate for a couple of reasons. First, CATHOLICS SHOULD STUDY ALL OF SCRIPTURE, including difficult books such as Daniel and Revelation, because God gave it to the Church for that purpose. Second, the Catholic Church offers two thousand years of reflection and study of Scripture, resulting in a rich, balanced, and nuanced understanding of the whole Bible. If the Catholic Church has the authority that Catholics believe she possesses, then they need to take seriously her understanding of Scripture. At the very least, doing so will help them avoid the serious misunderstandings of some other Christians and will equip Catholics to discuss these misunderstandings with them. 6. Dispensationalism Many non-Catholic Christians believe in a theological system known as dispensationalism. The core of dispensationalism is incompatible with Catholic doctrine, although there are some secondary issues compatible. Dispensationalism is a Christian theological view of history and Biblical interpretation that became popular during the 1800s and early 1900s and is held today by many conservative Protestants. Dispensationalism refers to the belief that God works in history through a series of different epochs, or dispensations. In each of these periods, God tests man in a certain way. Man fails the test, and then God judges man. On this view, man now lives during the "Church Age," which is so full of apostasy and error that only a remnant of "true believers" remains. Dispensationalism advocates a form of premillennialism in which it sees the past, present, and future as a number of successive administrations, or "dispensations" (Eph 3:2, KJV), each of which emphasizes aspects of the covenants between God and various peoples at various times. Consequently, it places a heavy emphasis on prophecy and eschatology, the study of the "end times." According to dispensationalism, God is pursuing TWO PURPOSES in history: one involving an earthly people (Israel) and the other, a heavenly people (the Church). Dispensationalists believe that when Jesus Christ came, He offered the earthly people, Israel, a physical, earthly kingdom, but that they rejected Him as their Messiah. Consequently, Jesus formed a heavenly people, the Church, who are not meant to reign here on earth, but will reign with Him in heaven. However, God will still fulfill the many Old Testament promises to Israel, His earthly people, because, dispensationalists insist, those promises were unconditional. When Christ founded the Church, all of those promises were "put on hold" until the heavenly people were removed from the earth in the Rapture. Since Israel has now been re-established as a nation, most dispensationalists believe that the removal of the Church via the Rapture can occur at any moment. 7. The Rapture The Rapture will be a secret "SNATCHING UP" of all true believers in Christ to heaven; it will be immediately followed — according to most dispensationalists — by seven years of Tribulation and the reign of the Antichrist. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will come again to establish an earthly, thousand-year reign, based in Jerusalem, where a new temple (complete with animal sacrifices) will exist. NONE OF THE CHURCH FATHERS believed in a secret removal of true believers prior to the Tribulation. On the contrary, they taught that the Church would undergo a period of intense tribulation prior to the Second Coming. Christians are called to follow Christ crucified in order to share also in His resurrection! It seems to me that the Rapture is too easy! The Rapture theory is a NOVELTY; this idea only began with John Nelson Darby in the 1830s. 8. The Church and Israel Eschatology, the study of the last things, flows directly from ECCLESIOLOGY, the doctrine of the Church. This explains some of the significant differences between what Catholics and many Fundamentalists believe about the end of time. While most dispensationalists teach that God has TWO PEOPLE, the Church and Israel, the Catholic Church asserts that God has always had only ONE PEOPLE, or family, throughout history. According to the Catechism, "This 'family of God' is gradually formed and takes shape during the stages of human history, in keeping with the Father's plan. In fact, 'already present in figure at the beginning of the world, this Church was prepared in marvelous fashion in the history of the people of Israel … Established in this last age of the world and made manifest in the outpouring of the Spirit, it will be brought to glorious completion at the end of time" (CCC 759). Therefore, the Catholic Church has always understood herself as being the NEW ISRAEL (Gal. 6:16; Eph. 2:11-12) and the new People of God (1 Pet. 2:9-10), the recipients of the New Covenant given through Christ (Heb. 8:8-13). The Old Covenant was not rejected by Christ, but fulfilled and taken up into the New Covenant; it concluded with the New Covenant and is included in it. This difference between dispensationalism and Catholic doctrine is the basis for other disagreements, including those involving the Rapture and the nature of the millennium. Another issue is the FATE OF ISRAEL. What will happen to Israel in the end? According to the Catechism, "The glorious Messiah's coming is suspended at every moment of history until His recognition by 'all Israel', for 'a hardening has come upon part of Israel' in their 'unbelief' toward Jesus" (CCC 674). The Church, reflecting upon Romans 9-11, believes that Israel will somehow come to recognize Christ for who He is. The Church has not indicated how this will precisely occur. 9. The Kingdom of God Catholic doctrine also teaches that the Church is intimately related to the Kingdom of God. The Church is "ultimately one, holy, catholic, and apostolic in her deepest and ultimate identity, because it is in her that 'the Kingdom of heaven,' the 'Reign of God,' already exists and will be fulfilled at the end of time" (CCC 865). The Kingdom is not yet complete, but began with the Incarnation and will be fully realized at the end of time: "The kingdom of heaven was inaugurated on earth by Christ. 'This kingdom shone out before men in the word, in the works and in the presence of Christ.' The Church is the seed and beginning of this kingdom. Its keys are entrusted to Peter" (CCC 567). In its fullness, the Kingdom is not an earthly reign, but the final triumph of Christ over the power of sin and Satan, culminating in an eternity spent in communion with the Triune God: "The kingdom has come in the person of Christ and grows mysteriously in the hearts of those incorporated into him, until its full eschatological manifestation" (CCC 865). In contrast, dispensationalists believe that the Kingdom will be a THOUSAND-YEAR, EARTHLY REIGN OF CHRIST, known as the Millennium (from the Latin word for "thousand years"; c.f., Rev 20:4). Belief in a literal thousand-year earthly reign is called millenarianism or millennialism. It has been explicitly rejected by the Catholic Church. In 1944, the Holy Office warned against ". . . the system of mitigated Millenarianism, which teaches . . . that Christ the Lord before the final judgment, whether or not preceded by the resurrection of the many just, will come visibly to rule over this world. . . . The system of mitigated Millenarianism cannot be taught safely" (CCC 676). 10. The Millennium The reign of Christ and the thousand-year period found in Revelation 20 is popularly called the millennium. The millennium is a forerunner of the end of the world, and Revelation 20 is interpreted in three ways by conservative Protestants. The THREE SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT are called postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism. 11. Postmillennialism Postmillennialism is that view of last things which holds that the kingdom of God is now being extended in the world through the preaching of the gospel and the saving work of the Holy Spirit, that the world eventually is to be Christianized, and that the return of Christ will occur at the close of a long period of righteousness and peace, commonly called the millennium. This view was popular with nineteenth-century Protestants, when progress was expected even in religion and before twentieth-century horrors were tasted. Today few hold to it, except such groups as Christian Reconstructionists, an outgrowth of the conservative Presbyterian movement. 12. Amillennialism The amillennial view interprets Revelation 20 symbolically and sees the millennium not as an earthly golden age in which the world will be totally Christianized, but as the PRESENT PERIOD OF CHRIST’S RULE in heaven and on the earth through his Church. Amillennialists also believe in the coexistence of good and evil on earth until the end. The tension that exists on earth between the righteous and the wicked will be resolved only by Christ’s return at the end of time. The golden age of the millennium is instead the heavenly reign of Christ with the saints, in which the Church on earth participates to some degree, though not in the glorious way will it participate in at the Second Coming. Amillennialists point out that the thrones of the saints who reign with Christ during the millennium appear to be set in heaven (Rev 20:4; cf. 4:4, 11:16) and that the text nowhere states that Christ is on earth during this reign with the saints. They explain that, although the world will never be fully Christianized until the Second Coming, the millennium does have effects on earth in that Satan is bound in such a way that he cannot deceive the nations by hindering the preaching of the gospel (Rev 20:3). They point out that Jesus spoke of the necessity of "binding the strong man" (Satan) in order to plunder his house by rescuing people from his grip (Mt 12:29). When the disciples returned from a tour of preaching the gospel, rejoicing at how demons were subject to them, Jesus declared, "I saw Satan fall like lightning" (Lk 10:18). Thus for the gospel to move forward at all in the world, it is necessary for Satan to be bound in one sense, even if he may still be active in attacking individuals (1 Pet. 5:8). 13. Premillennialism Premillennialism is currently the most popular among Fundamentalists and Evangelicals (though a century ago amillennialism was). Most of the books written about the End Times, such as Hal Lindsey’s ‘Late Great Planet Earth’, are written from a premillennial perspective. Like postmillennialists, premillennialists believe that the thousand years is an earthly golden age during which the world will be thoroughly Christianized. Unlike postmillennialists, they believe that it will occur AFTER THE SECOND COMING rather than before, so that Christ reigns physically on earth during the millennium. They believe that the Final Judgment will occur only after the millennium is over (which many interpret to be an exactly one thousand year period). But Scripture does not support the idea of a thousand year span between the Second Coming and the Final Judgment. Christ declares, "For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done" (Mt 16:27), and "when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats … And they [the goats] will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Mt 25:31-32,46). Most of the mainstream Protestants fall into the amillennial camp. Fundamentalists and evangelicals use to be amillennialist, but in more recent times most commonly fall into the premillennial camp. The Catholic position, the position of the Reformation fathers, and the position of historic Christianity, is in the amillennial camp. 14. The Period of Tribulation The Church also says relatively little about the time of trial or tribulation in the final days. The Church will go through the great trial, but we do not know how long it will last. The Catechism declares, "Before Christ's Second Coming the Church must PASS THROUGH A FINAL TRIAL that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the 'mystery of iniquity' in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth" (CCC 675; also see CCC 2642). This time of trial will be at the start of the "last days" in the sense of the end of history: "According to the Lord, the present time is the time of the Spirit and of witness, but also a time still marked by 'distress' and the time of evil which does not spare the Church and ushers in the struggles of the last days. It is a time of waiting and watching" (CCC 672). 15. Interpreting the Book of Revelation The Catholic Church has not officially interpreted the difficult passages in Revelation. There are FOUR MAIN APPROACHES to the book of Revelation: futurist, preterist, historicist and idealist. Futurists believe that most or all of the book of Revelation has yet to be fulfilled; preterists say that most or all of it was fulfilled in the first century; historicists claim that events described in Revelation have been transpiring for the last two thousand years; and idealists believe that the book of Revelation is allegorical and has little or nothing to do with historical events. The Catholic Church allows a WIDE RANGE of interpretive possibilities, including forms of futurism, preterism, historicism and idealism. For example, a Catholic may believe the book of Revelation describes the conflict of good and evil as experienced by individual Christians or the Church (idealism), and makes prophetic utterances about events still to occur (futurism), and also refers to events that have already occurred, either in the early Church or later Church history (preterism and historicism). Catholic flexibility here is based on the fact that Scripture, inspired by God, often has different, yet complementary, meanings. From early times, the Church, following the examples of Christ and the Apostles (i.e., Lk 24:25-27; 1 Cor 10:1-4), understood Scripture to have different senses, a literal and a spiritual sense (CCC 115). As the Catechism explains, the spiritual sense is always rooted in the literal sense: "The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: 'All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal'" (CCC 116). A common MISCONCEPTION is that Catholics interpret Scripture, especially the book of Revelation, "symbolically," while Evangelicals interpret it "literally." This has often been used to explain why the Catholic Church rejects an earthly, thousand-year reign of Christ. Yet few "literalists" bother to interpret literally other images in Revelation, such as the Beast, the dragon, the locusts, and the four horsemen. 16. Parameters of the Catholic Church The Catholic Church says relatively little about future events leading up to Christ's Second Coming. Many of her teachings are rejections (either implicit or explicit), not affirmations, of particular beliefs such as the dispensational dichotomy between the Church and Israel, the "secret" Rapture, and the earthly millennial kingdom. What she does teach is quite clear, as well as succinct: there will be a Second Coming, a time of trial which the Church must endure, an Antichrist, a conversion of Israel to Christ, a definitive judgment of all people, and the fulfillment of the Kingdom that has already begun in the Church. WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS, Catholics may freely roam, search the Scriptures, and seek to better understand the Word of God. - - - - - - - PART II: Prophetic Signs Manifested In Current World Events 17. Discovering the Pieces of the Puzzle! The following, while staying within the parameters given to us by the Catholic Church, is my own personal investigation and speculation based on my findings and study, in particular related to current events in the world. In studying prophecy one must have a good amount of humility because it is always easier to understand prophecy after the events have taken place. In searching for the truth, one finds one piece of the puzzle at a time. Then we look for another missing piece that has on it’s edges the same color, shape and figure corresponding to the pieces already found. This article represents precisely this process. But the more humility we have and the more openness we have to newly found truths and discoveries, which are sometimes outside of our personal categories and ideas, as well as the humility to try to seek these truths from the point of view of the Creator of all things with His One Church on earth, the quicker and easier we put the pieces of the puzzle together without going off of unfounded tangents. If one is not LOOKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, he will never find many pieces of the puzzle; Satan certainly does his best to divert our attention in many ways as well as disguising himself as an angel of light. Certainly today, there are many who pick and choose what they want to believe in our relativistic culture so as to bend the facts and the truth to what suits them; in this case the truth is willfully blocked and thus there is no hope of finding the truth. The job of those of good will is to indicate to people the true guide posts above all by our good example, and then if necessary, by our words. Certainly prudence is always necessary. But we would be “hypocrites” if we “do you not know how to interpret the present time” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3)! We must first of all seek guidance from the One who loves us more than all others put together, God, who guides us through His Divine Revelation! The world events are coming together every more rapidly everyday. Thus the pieces of the puzzle are appearing faster and faster! I hope too that my motives for this research were not for vain curiosity or to find a false security outside of God in presuming that I have discovered what the future is. Some Christians are fond of putting into the category of pride all those who seek to “interpret the present time.” As pointed out above, the Church encourages us to read the whole Bible, including the Book of Revelation, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc. The numerous, and ever increasing, private revelations from God in the last 150 years are for His children here on earth. Our adversary, Satan, has been and is preparing his greatest traps for each of us and for the whole world. Thus I hope also that this work might help to UNMASK SOME OF THESE PRINCIPLE INSIDIOUS SNARES so as to help us not to fall into them. I believe that two of the greatest traps and climactic deceptions of Satan for our time, besides sin and relativism in general, regards the “false prophet” and the “mark of the beast”! It is a great grace to recognize these eternally fatal deceptions. The Beast will be able to perform "signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mt 24:24; Mk 13:22; Rev 13:8; 19:20)! Of course the insidious and patient preparation by Satan for our destruction is very important to recognize. Forewarned is forearmed! So let’ be vigilant and attentive inspectors like the famous “Sherlock Holmes”! Also, led by my parents, I have been interested in private revelation and prophecy for many years. I can see in my life that this pursuit has helped me to think often about how short life is and how long eternity is. The great majority of people today loose sight of this fundamental truth. Of course Satan, being very intelligent and sly, has convinced most of the people today that the devil and hell do not exist and you do not have to worry about eternity! We so easily and so willingly forget that life is a battle, a “DOUR COMBAT with the powers of evil” (CCC 409)! Thus for me, my interest in prophecy has helped me to not forget the eternal and the purpose for which I was created. I might also add that although my parents in the beginning led me to a false sect connected with a false Marian apparition (<a href="http://necedah-cult.blogspot.com/">http://necedah-cult.blogspot.com</a>), this experience was the beginning of my abandoning worldly pursuits and my journey toward the priesthood. It is amazing how these mysterious prophetical verses in Sacred Scripture are TAKING ON FLESH TODAY IN SUCH A VERY RAPID PACE! It is incredible to be a spectator and an active participant in the world today as perhaps the most intelligent and cunning creature ever created, Lucifer, orchestrates the gradual and intricate destruction and dismantling of all societies and cultures today in this climactic period of the history of the world and of the Body of Christ, the Church. The real drama today is greater than any science fiction movie or book ever could be! Often there is the tendency to speculate that the period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) will be swift with the nuclear bombs, etc. But we are seeing right before our eyes the incredible preparation by the puppets of Satan for this material, but especially spiritual onslaught and quest for our eternal souls. Also, Satan wants to lead as many away from God before any world wide mass destruction so as to lead as many souls as possible with him for all eternity. If we are able to recognize the traps of Satan and their horrible consequences, we will less likely fall into them. There might be a tendency when reading the prophetical passages in the Bible that all is rather clear cut and extraordinary. But we must remember that SATAN MUST PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO FREELY GIVE THERE WILL TO HIM. Over the centuries, Satan has succeeded in luring many people and groups of people into his web and control. But now, more than ever, due to the fact that now there are many of his puppets in high positions, he is able to accelerate the destruction of souls and society using so much money and power to promote laws and customs which more quickly lead people astray. Satan’s godless groups are more and more united today as they believe more than ever in their blind pride that they can overthrow the Kingdom of God on earth just as Satan thought he could do at the beginning of creation. Our Lady of Fatima told us that wars are not so much caused by the heads of states, but by the collective sins of all of us. The word “BEAST” referred to in the Book of Revelation (Rev 13:1-10) at FIRST GLANCE SEEMS TO INDICATE A FEROCIOUS, HORRIBLE CREATURE. See below “The Antichrist” about the tremendous capacities of this “first beast”! We read also that the second beast will be “like a lamb” (Rev 13:11). Satan disguises himself as an “angel of light” (2Cor 11:14), a “lamb”, impersonating the true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. St. Catherine of Siena, as many other saints, wrote that the greatest pain in hell is the absence of God, but that the second worst pain in hell is to actually see how horrible and frightful is Satan. On the contrary, the greatest joy and delight in heaven is the presence of God and then to see God face to face and the incredible beauty of the souls of those who have corresponded with the graces of God. You will find very numerous references in this article so as to facilitate a crosscheck of the pieces of the puzzle that I have found so far. Have fun as I also have had in seeking to put together this world wide jigsaw puzzle in the most interesting, exciting and decisive period in the history of the world, a world that God created for His creatures as a great testing ground, a “cosmic struggle”, to offer each of us the possibility to freely decide where we want to spend all eternity! It is amazing how many people choose to close their eyes and ears to the signs of our times! Jesus calls these people “HYPOCRITES”! (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3). Archbishop Fulton Sheen talked about the "Three stages (moments) of a country; Grace and Blessing, Blindness, Judgment” (1954). Many people do not understand our times because they are too close to them; they are immersed in a succession of events and judging today by yesterday and tomorrow by today. When the hand is too close to the eye, it cannot see the horizon. When we are too close to events we cannot understand them. Our Blessed Lord said that that would always be true. One day He said to the Pharisees: “In the evening when the sky is red, you say tomorrow will be fair; and in the morning when the sky is red and lowering, you say the weather will be foul. How is it that you are able to discern the skies and cannot understand the signs of the times? Do we understand the signs of our times? What do they portent? In order to know, we have to have a standard. You set your watch by something outside of yourself, outside of the watch. You do not say that this is my idea of time. So there ought to be some outside standard. And the outside standard is God’s way of judging things. And I wonder what He thinks of our times? I think He would weep at our times! He wept three times in His life: once at the death of a friend, Lazarus, when He saw the dissolution of a body, the penalty of sin (Jn 11:35). He wept once again for the death of souls in the garden of Gethsemane, when the blood began to pour from His body, drops from His body fell like a crimson bead, forming a rosary of redemption about the olive roots of Gethsemane (Lk 22:44). And the third time He wept was over a civilization (Lk 19:41). Maybe our times? They will draw tears from the eyes of the God-man! And when as the great patriot He wept over a civilization, He said that there were three moments in every nation’s history. There are three moments in every civilization. First is a moment of grace and a moment of blessing. The second is a moment of blindness. And the third is a moment of judgment! Without humility and trust in God, we will end up finding the pieces of the puzzle that the enemy holds out for us to find TO DIVERT OUR ATTENTION FROM THE REAL TRUTH and from the truth about their powerful organized deceptions. These egotistical puppets of Satan have systematically scratched out as much as possible the truth in our modern history books about the most influential institution in the making of history in the last 2000 years, the Body of Christ, the divine and human institution founded by Christ on the Rock, the Catholic Church. Thus we must dig hard to find the truth. G.K. Chesterton, an intellectual convert to Catholicism, once wrote that it would be very difficult for one to remain a protestant if he studied the true history of the world and of the Catholic Church. It is true that we do not know "the day and the hour" of the second coming of the Lord, but we can "know that it is near, even at the doors" (Mt 24:33, 36). God's Word admonishes the Christian to be wise (Mt 10:16) and watchful (Mt 24:42; 2Tim 4:8; Tit 2:13), especially as the day of Christ's return approaches (Heb 10:25). “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates” (Mt 24:32; Mk 13:28; Lk 21:29-31). “YOU HYPOCRITES! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3). “ANNOUNCE TO ALL THAT JESUS IS ABOUT TO RETURN” (February 17, 2007; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html</a>). God wants us, especially in times of great tribulation, to put our trust and confidence in Him (Ps 23:4; 1Pet 3:14) as well as not to fall prey to the powerful snares of the devil. So many people are willing to take risks for many worldly motives, but for God, there are few who are willing to take risks for Him and to trust in Him! IF WE KNOW BEFORE HAND about the types of traps of the devil, we will less likely fall into Satan's eternal pitfalls in this coming crucial period of the world. 18. The Puppets of Satan If one knows even a little about the history of the world, the powerful have never been satisfied with the power that they have or had acquired. They always wanted more. Many of the super powerful and past dictators of the world even arrived to the point of wanting to be ADORED AS GOD (Hail Cesar! Heil Hitler!)! I do not think that anything has changed. The powerful people of the world who control the economy and petroleum of the world and embezzle from everyone in so many hidden ways, including by way of the Federal Reserve Board and similar entities in each country of the world (which are not controlled or owned or operated by the respective governments), are not content to control and steal from all of us to become very rich and powerful. They want to become ABSOLUTE DICTATORS of the world, just like the dictators of the past. These people, thirsty for power, in our days have worked for many years with incredible patience. When they have everything totally under their control, they will lead as many as possible to adore the image of the beast and to accept the “mark of the beast” (Rev 13,11-18). It is very interesting the recent comments of Henry Kissinger's about the "NEW WORLD ORDER"! We have known about this for a long time but the real surprising thing is that these super powerful of the world are now so bold, after the election of Obama, that FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THEY ARE COMING OUT PUBLICLY WITH THEIR INTENTIONS! A PERFECT WORLD! WITHOUT GOD!?!? “National Day of Prayer ruled unconstitutional - A federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Thursday that the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/15/AR2010041504353.html">National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional</a>.” (<a href="http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/undergod/2010/04/national_day_of_prayer_ruled_unconstitutional.html">http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/undergod/2010/04/national_day_of_prayer_ruled_unconstitutional.html</a>).

It seems that HENRY KISSINGER AND HIS NEW WORLD ORDER COLLEAGUES FEEL THEY NOW HAVE ALL THE CARDS IN THEIR HAND and so they can now come straight out with what they have been working on for so many years. According to Kissinger, without these great saviors of the world, we will stumble “toward the abyss of chaos”! We must submit or else the world planners will have to resort to “some large-scale crisis that will make people accept the new world order” (spoken by David Rockefeller in the late 1990s)! The “New World Order”; such nice sounding words, but what is the real reality under these appealing words? The big shots of the Illuminati and the Freemasons of the New World Order do not have full control, but gain more control the more they lead us to sin and to stop praying. Kissinger on Obama: "The Reception of him (Obama) is so extraordinary around the world ... a New World Order (or Globalisation as they now prefer to name it) can be created"; January 5, 2009 (<a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jan/09010704.html">http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jan/09010704.html</a>). “Obama sets stage for 'new world order'”; (<a href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2009/09/opinionlineobama-sets-stage-for-new-world-order.html">http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2009/09/opinionlineobama-sets-stage-for-new-world-order.html</a>). “At U.N., Obama calls for new era in world relations”; (<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/23/obama.un/index.html">http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/23/obama.un/index.html</a>). “Barack Obama believes that the United States should be subject to global laws, instead of the United States Constitution.” (<a href="http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/united-states-justice-foundation-alert/">http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/united-states-justice-foundation-alert/</a>). Now KISSINGER HAS FORMALIZED HIS VERBAL STATEMENTS in an essay for the “International Herald Tribune”, which is the global edition of the “New York Times”. The essay, entitled, "The chance for a new world order," came out on January 12, when Kissinger was in Beijing. He continues, developing the themes that world leaders can either continue in the present system of sovereign, independent states stumbling toward the abyss of chaos, or take the enlightened path toward world government (<a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/677">http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/677</a>). IF WE DO NOT SUBMIT to these great men, these saviors of the world, WE WILL STUMBLE “TOWARD THE ABYSS OF CHAOS”! We should be so, so, so thankful to them for saving us from this catastrophe!?! A perfect world without God! It is interesting that Kissinger wrote his essay in Beijing, CHINA! (See also: <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/.../henry-kissinger-the-world-must-forge-a-new-order-or-retreat-to-chaos-1451416.html">www.independent.co.uk/.../henry-kissinger-the-world-must-forge-a-new-order-or-retreat-to-chaos-1451416.html</a>). May 21, 1992 – In an address to the Bilderberger organization meeting in Evian, France, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger declares: “Today AMERICANS would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they WILL BE GRATEFUL! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil (the evil that they created!). The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.” Kissinger and his godless colleagues do not believe in God and thus have no concept of the truth that rights come from God, not the state! The CLUB OF ROME plans to divide “the world into ten political/economic regions... which would unite the entire world under a single form of government. These regions are: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Rest of Developed World, Latin America, Middle East, Rest of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and China.”; (<a href="http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=FinalWarn08-5">http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=FinalWarn08-5</a>). "The Council on Foreign Relations co-sponsors an assembly Rethinking America's Security: Beyond Cold War to New World Order which is attended by 65 prestigious members of government, labor, academia, the media, military, and the professions from nine countries. Later, several of the conference participants joined some 100 other world leaders for another closed door meeting of the Bilderberg Society in Baden Baden, Germany. The Bilderbergers also exert considerable clout in determining the foreign policies of their respective governments. While at that meeting, David Rockefeller [co-founder (with <a href="http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/teichrib/globalization-strategy.htm">Zbigniew Brzezinski</a>) of the Trilateral Commission] said in a speech: 'We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and RESPECTED THEIR PROMISES OF DISCRETION FOR ALMOST FORTY YEARS. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination [read as 'democracy'] practiced in past centuries." - June 5, 1991, Bilderberger meeting in Baden Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton) <a href="http://www.mega.nu/ampp/bilderberg.html">www.mega.nu/ampp/bilderberg.html</a>.

In its place it has proposed a rational goal for the future, which is entitled the New World Order and is now supposed to become in its turn the essential ethical norm. It still shares with Marxism the evolutionary idea of a universe brought forth by an irrational event and formed by its intrinsic rules, which however – unlike the provisions of the ancient idea of nature – cannot contain within themselves any ethical direction. … A specifically European feature in this situation today appears to be precisely the separation from all ethical traditions and the exclusive reliance on technological reasoning and its possibilities. But will not a world order with these foundations become in reality a horrific utopia? Does not Europe perhaps need, does not the world perhaps need precisely some corrective elements derived from its great tradition and from the great ethical traditions of mankind? The inviolable nature of human dignity ought to become the fundamental, untouchable pillar of ethical regulations. Only if man recognizes that he is an end (and not a means), only if the human being is sacred and inviolable, can we have confidence in one another and live together in peace. There is no weighing of goods that can justify treating man as experimental material for higher ends.” (<a href="http://www.michaeljournal.org/nwoutopia.htm">http://www.michaeljournal.org/nwoutopia.htm</a>).

These powerful and very rich people, in their pride, believe that they are the ones to be the SAVIORS OF THE WORLD from all its problems. They meet regularly in secret societies (originating from a Mason, Dr. Adam Weishaupt, on May 1, 1776, the Illuminati) such as the Bilderbergers (1954), the Trilateral Commission (1973 - to control both the Republican and Democratic Parties; its founder and primary financial angel was international financier, David Rockefeller), Council on Foreign Relations (1919), Club of Rome (1968), New Age Movement (began in the late 1960s and early 1970s), the Freemasonry, etc., to increase their wealth and power. These groups represent a single elite network of globalists. These groups represent "...a vehicle for MULTINATIONAL CONSOLIDATION OF COMMERCIAL AND BANKING INTERESTS..." - Barry Goldwater. Henry Kissinger is a member of the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission. Learn more about the Bilderberg group: “The rich, shadowy Bilderberg group” ; <a href="http://www.freepressinternational.com/2009/05/the-rich-shadowy-bilderberg-group/">http://www.freepressinternational.com/2009/05/the-rich-shadowy-bilderberg-group/</a>. “THE MASTER PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD EXPOSED. 'Hope of the Wicked' reveals greatest deception in modern history. Is there a conspiracy to rule the world? Is there a master plan to bring America under the spell of a one-world order?

Do they really wield powers over commerce and government around the world?” (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=36935">http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=36935</a>). THE GOAL OF THE ILLUMINATI This quest for a world government has been going on for a long time. For example, on Feburary 17, 1953, Financier Paul Warburg said before the U.S. Senate: “We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.” This quest for world domination can be traced back to the creation of the “Illuminati”, a secret society, in 1776. Their leader, Adam Weishaupt, wrote out the master plan to bring about the subjection of the whole human race to an oligarchy of Financiers. The word “Illuminati” is derived from Lucifer and means “holders of the light”. As surprising as it may seem, THE INSIGNIA OF THE ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI appears on the reverse side of U.S. one-dollar bills. The first time it appeared was in 1933, by order of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the beginning of the New Deal (the name given to Roosevelt’s political reforms of that time). One can read at the base of the 13-story pyramid, the year 1776 (MDCCLXVI in Roman numerals). Most of the people think that it represents the date of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, but it actually memorializes the foundation of the Order of the Illuminati, which was on May 1, 1776. The pyramid represents the conspiracy for the destruction of the Catholic Church (and all existing religions), and the establishment of a one-world government, or a United Nations dictatorship. The eye radiating in all directions, is the “all-spying” eye that symbolizes the terroristic, Gestapo-like, espionage agency that Weishaupt set up to guard the “secret of the Order and to terrorize the populace into the acceptance of its rule.” A LUCIFERIAN CONSPIRACY To say that the Illuminati is a “Luciferian conspiracy” is not only a stylistic device, but it is literally true, since THE LEADERS OF THE ILLUMINATI ARE ACTUALLY WORSHIPERS OF SATAN, and their final objective is to have the whole world bow down to him. Through his hellhounds, it is Satan himself who continues his revolt against God by endeavoring to foil God’s plan on earth, and to snatch from God as many souls as possible. Just like Satan, the Financiers think that they are smarter than God, and that they are the only ones who can lead mankind properly. The members of the Illuminati are people of every race and creed, but who all lust for money and power. (<a href="http://www.michaeljournal.org/The%20Microchip.pdf">http://www.michaeljournal.org/The%20Microchip.pdf</a>). Perhaps some of the members of these groups are of good will and do not see how they are being used and manipulated in an overall plan to slowly take over the world. Many become Freemasons to get ahead in the business world even though the Church has made over 500 magisterial interventions of the Popes about the evils of Freemasonry and that it is A GRAVE SIN TO BE A MEMBER OF THE FREEMASONRY at any degree and that a Catholic cannot receive Holy Communion if he is a member of the Freemasons (e.g., 11-26-1983, Joseph Card. Ratzinger). But the great majority of these super-rich are blind in their pride and do not realize that they, in fact, are the puppets of Satan. Satan’s human pawns may not know that they are marionettes, but Satan knows it! These devious men use any and every means to arrive at their goal of total world domination including the manipulation of races, religions, peoples, terrorists groups, whole ethnic groups (such as fanatical Muslims etc.) and religious nations, godless feminists movements, the mass media, international banks, petroleum,... so that, when they are ready, they will step forward to offer themselves as the solution for the problem they created in the world. They will be our saviors, but without the one and only true God. Only the very few at the very top of the echelon of these secret societies, who are close enough to their real head, Satan, consciously realize that the real overall game plan is to deprive the Creator of the company of His creatures for all eternity! We find in “A MANUSCRIPT ON PURGATORY”: “France is indeed very guilty, but unfortunately she is not the only one. At this moment (1880) there is not a single Christian kingdom that is not openly or by underhanded means trying to expel God from its midst. The secret societies and their master, the devil, are tormenting and stirring all this trouble. This is now the hour of the prince of darkness. While he is in power he may do his worst, but God will show that He alone is Master. He may use severity to manifest His power, but even in His vengeance, Jesus is yet always merciful.” (<a href="http://purgatory-manu.blogspot.com/">http://purgatory-manu.blogspot.com</a>). Each co-worker in the militia of Satan receives his recompense of the delusion of PRIDE AS SOMEONE IMPORTANT in the great enterprise of being the great leaders and designers of the “New World Order”, just as the youth and adults in the Third Reich of Hitler, and in so many other dictatorships in the history of the world. There is no honor among thieves, and so too these proud people destroying the world believe to be important people at least for now. But in the end they will be under the horrible rules and regime that they helped to create. They will end up in the hell hole they created. The beast “causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark” (Rev 13:16-17). Satan cannot attack God directly, so Satan does all he can to attack God indirectly. The real battle is not one of taking over the countries or the world or the economomy, etc. THE REAL BATTLE IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE between God with his humble and loving followers, and Satan with his proud and egotistical followers. “For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). At stake is eternity with God in extreme bliss and happiness and true freedom, or eternity with Satan in extreme pain of the depravation of the presence of the Creator from the creature which is a pain far worse than all the fires of hell! 19. The Controlled Destruction of the US Dollar Less than a hundred years ago these super-rich succeeded in deceiving each government in the world to turn over to them (i.e., the FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, etc.) the power to print money or insert into our economic systems as much money as they decided without any governmental control or government profit; before this trickery, inflation did not exist. Who is profiting by this insertion of money into the economic system? Certainly not the people who live in each respective country! Only a few years ago the dollar was stronger than the Euro. What is the real cause of this rapid change? Economist tell us that before the elections of November 2008 the world’s total wealth was measured at 47 trillion dollars; less than six months later the world’s total worth is less than 25 trillion dollars. In less than two months (January to March 2009) the Obama administration has spent almost FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS, while reducing military spending and increasing the police force within our the U.S. (visit “The Sack Lunches”: <a href="http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/11/sack-lunches.html">http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/11/sack-lunches.html</a>). Was there not a great inflation of currency in Germany before Hitler came to power? Was there not a great economic crisis before communism came to power in Russia? Do not all these “BAILOUTS” shift all the money and power to the national government, forcing all who receive this money to do exactly as the dictators on high dictate or else loose the money from these bailouts? Contrast this way of doing things with the Gospels where Jesus clearly indicates that God totally respects our free wills and gently calls each of us toward to truth which will make us truly free (Jn 8)! After only one year in office, Obama and his New World Order colleagues have succeeded in creating a national American debt that is equal to about half of the world’s total worth! The dollar is already destroyed but is being held up artificially UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO PULL THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER and destroy America and force the world more fully under their absolute control and tyranny. Many Americans who realize this are buying arms to try to take back the government after the fall, but the world planners are well prepared for this reaction! “The trouble with the Fed's secret bailout - The Federal Reserve has come clean about its covert actions.

Associate Director of Tyche Martin Hennecke warned in a CNBC interview this morning (March 23, 2009) that actions such as the Treasury’s announcement today to buy $1 trillion more of toxic debt, allied with last week’s announcement by the Fed to throw a further $1 trillion at the problem, is merely A CONTINUATION OF WHAT CAUSED THE CRISIS IN THE FIRST PLACE and that such measures will ultimately lead to THE DESTRUCTION OF MAJOR WESTERN CURRENCIES AND STAGGERING HYPERINFLATION. “The budget deficit is already out of control, we might be talking about $3 trillion U.S. dollars (January 2009), which is 20 per cent of GDP, which is absolutely staggering,” said Hennecke, reiterating that easy money was what caused the problems in the first place. “The High Cost of Not Counting the Cost”; (<a href="http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/news-issue/the-high-cost-of-not-counting-the-cost/">http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/news-issue/the-high-cost-of-not-counting-the-cost/</a>). “Decade of Debt: $9 Trillion”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125119686015756517.html?mod=rss_com_mostcommentart">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125119686015756517.html?mod=rss_com_mostcommentart</a>). “WARNING: THE DEFICITS ARE COMING!” David Walker sounds like a modern-day Paul Revere as he warns about the country's perilous future.

June 2010: U.S. is falling Into a DOUBLE-DIP RECESSION. Only 41,000 jobs were added by the private sector last month. It's one sign the economy is headed toward a double-dip recession. The Labor Department reports this morning that the private sector added a measly 41,000 net new jobs in May. (The vast bulk of new jobs in May were temporary government Census workers.) But at least 100,000 new jobs are needed every month just to keep up with population growth. In other words, the labor market continues to deteriorate. The average length of unemployment continues to rise – now up to 34.4 weeks (up from 33 weeks in April). That’s another record.

THE US NOW HAS A GREAT TRADE IMBALANCE WITH CHINA. The US is issuing IOU’s everyday; the US now has a staggering 12 trillion dollar debt (August 2009). Ten percent of this is owned by China; China is the lease holder. For decades the US has had cheap Chinese made goods come into the major stores of this country which sold like hot cakes; much of this money has gone back into pumping up the dollar by buying treasury instruments to keep Chinese goods cheap. China is financing it’s selling of goods to the US by buying back treasury instruments. It’s a large vender financing scheme. Almost a trillion treasury instruments are held by China. The US is joined at the hip with China because of the ongoing trade imbalance. But we now find ourselves in a position that if they were to dump even a fraction of those treasury instruments, they would cause a run on the dollar, a collapse of our currency and send us into a serious economic crisis. I do not think China is a nation, the People’s Republic of China, that we want to be beholden to in this way. But the “New World Order” will probably not have China pull the plug on our economy until it has established it’s alternative new currency to replace the dollar as the world's standard (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123780272456212885.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123780272456212885.html</a>).

The Global Elite, blinded by their thirst for power, orchestrate obtaining total control over the people in the excuse of providing for more transparency; a greater surveillance of the world financial markets, cross border firms, money laundering, terrorist financing, etc… They believe that they are the only ones capable of governing mankind properly. However, these globalists know very well that people will not easily give up their freedom of the use of cash to accept these “bio-chips” unless there is a worldwide panic, be it financial or maybe even flu pandemic to convince the population that the only way not to lose everything is to accept the RFID chip.

GEORGE SCHWARTZ, CFA, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF SCHWARZ INVESTMENT COUNSEL (<a href="http://www.schwartzinvest.com/">http://www.schwartzinvest.com/</a>), author of the new book, “Good Returns: Making Money by Morally Responsible Investing” offered the following explanation. “It was essential a collapse of the housing market, which was a bubble financed by Freddie Mac Fannie Mae, the government-subsidized housing corporations, which by the way were supported and urged on by Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Christopher Dodd and a new, young, up and coming senator from Illinois named Barack Obama. There is the claim that George Bush did not do enough; he knew about this; he could have stopped this. It is true that George Bush was not without some errors, that’s for sure, particularly the spending he did which was outrageous, so he was a disappointment to us conservatives. But he did do some wonderful things in the pro-life area and he kept us safe for a long time after 9/11. But the housing bubble was basically made in Washington by democrat Senators and Congressmen. And it inflated the housing market to the point where it was unsustainable. Wall Street had a helping hand in that and they are not without blame. Those four men mentioned above were primarily responsible for this. And guess what. When Freddie and Fannie were making campaign contributions, guess who were the four biggest recipients of their large donations? Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama!

It is virtually impossible to comprehend how much is one trillion dollars! Today 4 trillion dollars, which has been spent by the US government from October 2008 to March 2009, is about the equivalent of one sixth of the world’s entire economic value! By now (August 2009) the US has a debt of almost half the value of the entire world, 12 trillion dollars! When these prideful powerful people finally decide to crash the economy, THEY WILL MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE REAL CAUSE IS FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE (George Bush?) and that they are the saviors of the world! Of course their highly controlled mass media greatly assists in their endeavors. They are creating the problem and them convincing us that: “We Need Greater Global Governance - The crisis reveals the weakness of nation-based regulation” (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124536757998629319.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124536757998629319.html</a>). “Mr. Obama, it’s your economy now - Obama is giving George W.

GOD THE FATHER: “We are ever more approaching a period of disasters be it economical, be it destruction of the peace.

Twenty two trillion dollars are now gone in months. That would have taken hundreds of thousands of years in previous ages to accumulate.

It is ironic that these world jackasses who have patiently and diligently worked to lead us to a socialistic dictatorship have concentrated on infiltrating and manipulating especially the countries which have become wealthy precisely because these countries were the furthest away from socialism. This strategy has given the socialistic manipulators the money and power to accelerate their trust toward world socialistic dictatorship even though they will end up DESTROYING THE CHICKEN THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG by way of free enterprise and capitalism. In the end, the U.S. will have to be totally brought to its knees because the Americans are too used to freedom and not used to a socialistic dictatorship. For the socialists, freedom is anathema as it is in hell! It seems that not only Obama, but also Bill Clinton have SUCKED OUT THE U.S. TECHNOLOGY before the New World Order takes over.

GINGRICH: OBAMA IS NO LONGER A CENTRIST. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich needs only four pages of his new book, "To Save America," to make his most explosive allegations against President Obama's policies, which he characterizes as a creation of a "secular-socialist machine." "The secular-socialist machine," writes Gingrich, "represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did." Gingrich was unflinching on the assertion when I spoke with him this week, declaring that those regimes, had they prevailed, "would have ended the American experiment in freedom." Obama's policies including government control in the banking, auto, mortgage, health care and student loan industries, represent no less a threat, says the potential 2012 presidential candidate. The Obama administration, continued Gingrich, "is a direct threat to our liberty and a direct threat to the country we have historically been. "They are specifically anti-religious; they are explicitly anti-free enterprise; they think the government can dominate the citizens, that the politicians can decide how much you earn, how much you're allowed to keep and who they ought to give it to," said the ex-Speaker, just warming up. This strong rhetoric marks an about face for Gingrich, who said on my radio show a year ago that he did not believe Obama was a socialist.

THE FUTURE OF CAPITALISM: As the president and his team push forward with what they promise is one final drive for passing health care reform, and the Republicans dig in feverishly for what they promise is one final effort to defeat it, we can now see the real subject of this marathon political drama. Health care has only been the purported subject of the argument. In fact, the actual debate has been about capitalism. Specifically, the two sides have been wrestling about the future shape of capitalism in America, and doing it at a critically important time. The world economy is still in shambles from the wanton ways of Wall Street. Globalization has not only brought new players onto the competitive field, it has also introduced whole new versions of capitalism that operate in ways fundamentally different from the U.S. model.

A Little Gun History In 1911, TURKEY established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1929, the SOVIET UNION established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. GERMANY established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. CHINA established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. GUATEMALA established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. UGANDA established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. CAMBODIA established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 MILLION! It has now been 12 months since gun owners in AUSTRALIA were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australian taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The FIRST YEAR RESULTS are now in: 1) Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent; 2) Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent; 3) Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!; 4) In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns! While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. 5) There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it... You will not see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. England and Canada are having similar problems and are beginning to worry about only the criminals having guns. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WWII the JAPANESE decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. Switzerland issues every household a gun! Switzerland 's government trains every adult they issue a rifle. Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world!!! THIS IS A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET. (BECAUSE THE BAD GUYS WILL STILL HAVE THEIR GUNS). To solve the problem of violence today, we must GO TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM! I am a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! Our founding fathers knew well the “Folly of Government” as well as the madness of the mob as seen in the French revolution who threw out all authority and ended up with a worse situation afterwards. Our founding fathers, from experience, knew that history shows that the greatest thief and tyrant in the end is the government which has no authority above it and which no longer responds to the desires of the people. Thus these founders tried their best to write a constitution with checks and balances so that each of the three branches of the government would help to check the human tendency to accrue power and control over the other two branches. But our founders also had the wisdom and spiritual insight to realize that the best democratic government is only as good as the people who elect them. These manipulated government bureaucrats are having a very difficult time overcoming the 2nd Amendment, so they will probably succeed in taking away our bullets! Just think how powerful our government is getting! They think these other countries just didn't do it right. Learn from history! “URGENT CALIFORNIA!! --->Bill to Restrict Ammunition Moves Ahead!!

Before the world planners cause a major crisis in order to bring the U.S. totally to it’s knees without any possibility of a viable reaction or sustainable resistance from the U.S. citizens, THEY MUST TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS. This is a very important priority for these ruthless global manipulators. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, the forward assault troops were ordered to attack and take control of the local police station as a first priority. Poland had a very liberal version of the 2nd Amendment (fashioned after the US Constitution) but the citizens who owned handguns and long guns were required to register their names, addresses and list of weapons with the local police station. So the problem for the German army was pretty well solved by the registration process. YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE! WELL, HERE IT COMES!!! Gun control by secrecy! If you think this is a joke, go to the website and take your pick of the many options in this dastardly bill to undermine and negate the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the U.S. It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. “HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009”; (<a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text">http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text</a>). “WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Supreme Court announced today (Sept. 30, 2009) that it will hear the case of McDonald v. City of Chicago, and decide whether the right to keep and bear arms secured by the Second Amendment protects Americans from overreaching state and local governments.”; (<a href="http://www.chicagoguncase.com/">http://www.chicagoguncase.com/</a>). “Now 'all Guns' must be listed on your next 2010 tax return!”; (<a href="http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/09/17/now-all-guns-must-be-listed-on-your-next">http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/09/17/now-all-guns-must-be-listed-on-your-next</a>)! FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE: 1. "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." - Thomas Jefferson; 2. Those who trade liberty for security have neither. - John Adams; 3. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms; 4. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject; 5. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them; 6. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control; 7. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for; 8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety; 9. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive; 10. Assault is a behavior, not a device; 11. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday; 12. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights Reserved; 13. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others; 14. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you NOT understand?; 15. Guns have only two enemies; rust and politicians; 16. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves; 17. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control. THEY WILL KEEP COMING UNTIL WE ARE DISARMED AND ARE TOTALLY THEIR SLAVES! They have succeeded in diverting our attention towards illicit and destructive pleasures so as to take fundamental control of our government from we complacent American citizens. By now they have just about all the cards in their hands; it is only a question of time. They can play with us like a cat plays with a bird that is already down and wounded; when the cat is ready, it eats the bird! We have already forfeited our power and control over our government, our nation and our future. We can still pray, but there are far to many who trust only in themselves and material solutions and so very few who truly believe and trust in God as the real solution. “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Mt 19:26). "When only cops have guns, it's called a "police state". Love your country, but never trust it’s government" - Robert A. Heinlein. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" - Thomas Jefferson. "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." - Mahatma Gandhi. "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue." - Barry Goldwater. "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it." - Abraham Lincoln. ”A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” - John Stuart Mill. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” - John F. Kennedy. “FBI: Gun sales up, murders down”; (<a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-2684-Law-Enforcement-Examiner~y2009m12d22-FBI-Gun-sales-up-murders-down">http://www.examiner.com/x-2684-Law-Enforcement-Examiner~y2009m12d22-FBI-Gun-sales-up-murders-down</a>). “Obama-Lautenberg Gun Grab - White House Gun Agenda Puts You On The Terror Watch List” (<a href="http://www.conservativeactionalerts.com/alerts/ccrkba-obama-lautenberg-gun-grab/">http://www.conservativeactionalerts.com/alerts/ccrkba-obama-lautenberg-gun-grab/</a>).

Cyber Attacks From China! We know for a fact that not just last year, but for the last ten years there has been an ongoing series of cyber attacks, originating from China, on all sorts of installations in the US, not just the Pentagon, not just the government organizations, but also private major companies. China is the only country that we know of that has a FOURTH DEPARTMENT OF THE MILITARY (after the army, navy and air force), a department of cyber warfare which employees tens of thousands of people. Thus they are the likely source of these attacks They have succeeded in the past of penetrating the Pentagon’s computer networks, downloading our contingency plans for bolstering our forces in the far east in the case of a crisis, etc. These are serious matters that need to be addressed in a serious fashion. This is a new front of warfare that people do not even think about. China is the only country in the world today that could muster up an army of at least 200,000,000 soldiers as predicted in the Book of Revelations killing “a third of mankind” with “fire and smoke and sulphur” indicating nuclear warfare (Rev 9:15-16,18). By now there are tens of millions of young men in China who can no longer find a wife due to the forced “one child policy” supported, to a great degree, by the tax payers of the U.S. thanks to the Obama administration and Planned Parenthood. RIGHT NOW THE CYBER ATTACKS ARE BASICALLY AN INFORMATION GATHERING OPERATION. But if they gather enough information about key infrastructures in the U.S. and the computers and the software that control these infrastructures, the lights could go out, the GPS could stop working, the trucks could stop running down the highway that supply us with food and fuel, etc. They could cause a major economic crisis in the U.S. without even firing a shot, but rather by just firing streams of electrons at us. The goal of China is to become the dominant power not just in Asia but in larger parts of the world, and it seems they are going toward this goal as rapidly as they can. China will soon have the second largest economy in the world. As the GNP of the U.S. declines because of the recession, China’s GNP is still growing about 5-10% each year. China is also a creditor nation; they have trillions of dollars in the bank. The U.S. now has to go out begging to pay it’s bills. THIS IS NOT A POSITION THAT WE SHOULD BE IN! STEVEN MOSHER has authored two books: "China Attacks," a realistic look at a future Chinese blitz on Taiwan and "Hegemon: China's Plan to Dominate Asia and the World," a short history of China, its global ambitions, attracting significant attention after Steven Mosher's appearance on C-SPAN2's Book TV.

Having the mass media and the latest psychological and marketing techniques totally in their hands, the New World Order planners can also put false information on the web so as to “CRY WOLF” TOO SOON or too often so that no one listens any more to the “cry wolf”. Perhaps a possible example of this would be the so-called “truthers” such as “<a title="U.S. Forces Plan Direct Action Against American Citizens" href="http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/us-forces-plan-direct-action-against-american-citizens/">U.S. Forces Plan Direct Action Against American Citizens</a>” (<a href="http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/us-forces-plan-direct-action-against-american-citizens/">http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/us-forces-plan-direct-action-against-american-citizens/</a>).

This is also a way of undermining the message and the truth that the Tea Party movement is trying to reveal to the sleeping majority spiritually and mentally drugged and intoxicated and thus unaware in their ever-growing egoism and blindness due to not heeding the call of God in their hearts and in divine revelation. Satan uses this standard tactic even in regards to private revelations. In 1882, Christ revealed to the stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais, France that: "In the last days, a seemingly unlimited amount of FALSE REVELATIONS will arise from hell like a swarm of flies; a last attempt of Satan to choke and to destroy the efficacy of the TRUE REVELATIONS by false ones."

Can you guess which organization this is? Neither, it's the 435 members of the United States Congress, the same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line! In our systems of electing government officials around the world, why is it so difficult for a person who is more motivated by genuine altruism, love of his Creator and love of his fellow creatures, to end up being elected? Without wasting words in a long analysis of this state of affairs, may I just say that a government, especially a supposedly democratic government, is only as good as the people who elect that government in their respective countries.

WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!) If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. 23. SOCIALISM! WHAT IS SOCIALISM? Socialism is probably best defined by what it is against. It is against liberty. It is against property. And it is against the idea of limited government. What is socialism for? Socialism is for equality in the sense of sameness; everything must remain the same, that difference is a bad thing. Socialism is for so-called “Efficient Rational Control” by the government. It is also about power; it is about the centralization of power within the state and the diminution of freedom and decision making powers throughout the rest of society. It takes many forms of course, but if you look at most core socialist thinkers, most of whom are basically Marxists, these are the common themes that you will find running through all of their writings. Socialism and a free society are not able to coexist because they have very different visions about where the locus of human freedom is. They have very different priorities, one that is liberty, the other that is equality. One is about the decentralization of power and the creation of authentic human community; the other is about the centralization of power and the erection of the state as the only real legitimate community. In fact in the socialist society, you do not have a civil society anymore - civil society being those intermediate institutions that exist between the family and the state. You do not even have the family. All you have is the state and the individual, nothing in between, no other links to other people except through your relationship to the government. That is how socialism gradually breaks down the social bonds that I think most of us have traditionally taken for granted. As POPE LEO XIII pointed out as long ago as 1891 in his encyclical ”RERUM NOVARUM”, socialism does not help the poor. Rather, it reduces everyone to the same lowest common denominator of poverty and misery while at the same time drying up the very sources of capital. History very clearly shows us that every time socialism was installed as the national government’s economic policy, that which these Popes wrote in the last 150 years came true. Of course the ones in control remained or became super rich. Socialism reduces everyone to misery in a real economic crisis and so people then look for a messiah, Hitler, Stalin, etc. To allow socialism to become a country’s economic system is the KISS OF DEATH not only for an economy but for a whole society. “Freedom: America truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away”. “We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany , where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria . WE WERE PROMISED THAT A VOTE FOR HITLER WOULD MEAN THE END OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND HELP FOR THE FAMILY. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.” (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=389140939011">http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=389140939011</a>). Look at Hitler’s PATIENT PREPARATION to get as many as possible on his side before openly becoming the dictator of Germany. With CULTURAL SOCIALISM, they are preparing for a world dictatorship with even more patience and thoroughness today! POPES LEO XIII AND PIUS XI WROTE SEVERAL SOCIAL ENCYCLICALS explaining very clearly the great deception and dangers and evils of socialism many years ago, which are so amazingly relevant for our times as if they were written yesterday! The encyclicals of the Popes, the Church’s teachings, have a TREMENDOUS BALANCE. The Church condemns unbridled capitalism that would despise the poor and think only of the bottom line. Capitalism, if it runs amuck, certainly can be problematic and can cause a lot of suffering as we are seeing in the present day with an increase of the poor and the concentration of the wealth in the hands of the few. We see bankruptcy while many corporate executives are rich. I truly believe that this down fall of capitalism is greatly facilitate and guided and manipulated by our “world saviors” who have poised the world on the edge of economic ruin. The TEMPTATION is very strong for the PENDULUM TO SWING TOO FAR TO THE LEFT into the failed and immoral system of socialism, which is exactly what the world conspirators want and have orchestrated. Historically pure socialism has never worked, philosophically it cannot work, and morally it is inherently evil (because it undermines the right of private property ownership, an inherent human right) and hence should be avoided even if we are coerced and manipulated in that direction. We run the risk of A MUCH GREATER EVIL coming in. A few people get fantastically wealthy, and then the pendulum swings to the extreme. And then the tremendous temptation of socialism comes in. “A REVOLT IS BREWING in the middle class” (<a href="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=55834">http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=55834</a>). The social teachings of the Church offer us a tremendous and desperately needed balance and equilibrium between these two extremes. Socialism is not just a vague idea that these Popes disagreed with. There were forces in society, even 150 years ago, that were marshaling large numbers of people to bring about these socialist communist movements that ended up with the destruction of hundreds of millions of people. People forget this. People blame religion as being THE GREATEST CAUSE OF WAR AND DESTRUCTION in the history of the world when it was actually these BIG GOVERNMENTS in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and communist China responsible for over 300 million deaths. This is amazing and frightening! We have been prepared for the revolutionary socialists by what might be called the patient, but MORE DANGEROUS REFORMED SOCIALISTS who have worked within the system to capture the major cultural engines of society: the universities, schools, the media, and even the religious institutions as well. These reformed socialists realized that the CULTURE IS THE MOVER OF HISTORY, not so much economics as Marx taught. If you can shape the way that people think about the world, man and God, then everything gets filtered through this particular lens. It is then inevitable that people start thinking in this way, especially in the universities. Both of these fundamental types of socialism have the same goal and the same world view: the way they see man, who man is, the world, what is the world, and God, who God is. Cultural socialism is similar to the “Trojan Horse”, which slips in as a “gift”, with nice sounding words and rhetoric and promises, and then the treachery and deceit come out later to destroy the culture and society! “Beverly Eakman on the effects of the psychologized classroom; Dangers of Public Education” (<a href="http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=235381">http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=235381</a>). We must remember that socialism is not just an economic phenomenon such as an economic collectivization with the state running the economy, etc. All this is true. But if you go back to the early writers who first conceptualized the idea of SOCIALISM, you find IT IS ABOUT POWER, CONTROL and about trying to organize a society without any respect for the fact that society is made up of individual persons, that societies are made up of free associations. Socialists do not admit that individuals have this remarkable capacity that we call free will, free choice. Socialism cannot deal with this issue of free will. The person who first used the term socialism was a French philosopher named Henri de Saint-Simon of the 19th century. By socialism he had in mind a very technical, technocratic orientation towards organizing society. And the primary principle driving the society was that of efficiency. He thought that if you could CONTROL SOCIETY FROM THE TOP DOWN, with a small group of people at the top who basically organize everything and everyone else, then you would be able to realize what he called a socialist system. In later years with people like Marx and Engels, you get a much more explicitly economic dimension to this. They saw socialism as a pathway towards communism. By that they meant that if we are going to arrive at a communist society then we need to speed history up; Lenin was particularly insistent upon this. The way that you do this is that you have a dictatorship of the proletariat who run the societies so that we will eventually arrive at this utopia in which “everyone will be free to live happily, to fish, hunt and play”, which was the expression that Marx used. “<a title="Permanent Link to A Manifesto on the “Manifesto”" href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/05/07/130038/">A Manifesto on the “Manifesto”</a> May 7th, 2010 by <a title="Posts by Dr. Paul Kengor" href="http://catholicexchange.com/author/dr-paul-kengor/">Dr. Paul Kengor</a>.” “I knew the time would come. America’s public schools and ideologically monolithic universities have spawned A GENERATION WOEFULLY UNINFORMED in the most elementary facts about free markets, socialism, and communism. Personally, after teaching this material for years, I’m getting an inordinate number of questions about communism in particular, as that word is bandied about like crazy—the result of America’s decisive lurch leftward since the election of November 2008. There’s so much to say, especially about communism in practice, where the story is unprecedented misery: a death toll of 100-140 million human beings since 1917. That’s twice the combined corpses of WWI and WWII. But what about communism as a theory? We constantly hear the claim: “Communism in theory is not as bad as communism in practice. If you read Marx, you’ll see that communism promotes sharing, equality, love of man.” In truth, this is arrant nonsense. When I hear it, I know the person has never read Marx’s Communist Manifesto, a plainly awful book, packed with hatred and, frankly, stupidity. But rather than just say this, I thought I’d attempt a public service by laying out key facts on the Communist Manifesto—another teachable moment. So, here we go: …” Read the rest at: <a href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/05/07/130038/">http://catholicexchange.com/2010/05/07/130038/</a>. Pope Benedict XVI indicated that when Lenin achieved the Bolshevik revolution, he must have realized that the master, KARL MARX, HAD NO GAME PLAN. So you end up with a perpetual dictatorship of the proletariat. Pope Benedict XVI wrote in his encyclical “Spe Salvi”: “Together with the victory of the revolution, though, Marx's fundamental error also became evident. He showed precisely how to overthrow the existing order, but he did not say how matters should proceed thereafter. He simply presumed that with the expropriation of the ruling class, with the fall of political power and the socialization of means of production, the new Jerusalem would be realized. Then, indeed, all contradictions would be resolved, man and the world would finally sort themselves out. Then everything would be able to proceed by itself along the right path, because everything would belong to everyone and all would desire the best for one another. Thus, having accomplished the revolution, Lenin must have realized that the writings of the master gave no indication as to how to proceed. True, Marx had spoken of the interim phase of the dictatorship of the proletariat as a necessity which in time would automatically become redundant. This “intermediate phase” we know all too well, and we also know how it then developed, not ushering in a perfect world, but leaving behind a trail of appalling destruction. Marx not only omitted to work out how this new world would be organized—which should, of course, have been unnecessary. His silence on this matter follows logically from his chosen approach. His error lay deeper. He forgot that man always remains man. He forgot man and he forgot man's freedom. He forgot that freedom always remains also freedom for evil. He thought that once the economy had been put right, everything would automatically be put right. His real error is materialism: man, in fact, is not merely the product of economic conditions, and it is not possible to redeem him purely from the outside by creating a favorable economic environment.” (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi_en.html">http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi_en.html</a>). THE SOCIALISTS HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A GREATER EQUALIZATION OF SOCIETY. For them this does not mean a greater treating of people with equal dignity which is how Christians understand the idea of equality. For Catholics, it is not about sameness, it is not about everything being the same; it is about people being treated as human beings precisely because they are human beings. For the socialists equalization really means leveling society so that difference becomes anathema. And we see this when it comes to the homosexual movement in the way they are trying to level the definition of marriage. We see this in the negation that God created human beings male and female; but our culture today says that in order to be equal, men have to become women, and women men, despite the fundamental intrinsic unity within the complimentarity of our being. We see this happening in the economy. These little gods are trying to level the amount of income. This leveling effect is extremely important in the way that they understand progress. This not only applies to individuals but also to nations, to bring all down to the common denominator (not up to a common denominator!). AND THUS ALL NATIONS AND SOVEREIGNTIES MUST BE LEVELED. This was one of the big themes that was articulated by liberation theologians in the 1970’s and 1980’s. They espoused that the poor nations are poor because of the wealthy nations. To resolve this situation they did not propose the lifting of the poor out of poverty, not by creating wealth, not by opening up markets to trade, exchange, or encouraging entrepreneurship. They declared that they have to make sure that the wealthy countries are brought down to their level, so that everyone becomes like the poor. That is really what they had in mind by the idea of progress. “Frustrated Owner Bulldozes Home Ahead Of Foreclosure - Man Says Actions Intended To Send Message To Banks” (<a href="http://www.wlwt.com/news/22600154/detail.html">http://www.wlwt.com/news/22600154/detail.html</a>). The more the ones that are willing to work and are trying to increase their wealth are taxed to pay for those who do not want to work, the more the real workers will give up working. “If any one will not work, let him not eat” (2Thess 3:10).

IT IS TRULY AMAZING HOW OBAMA, with his well rehearsed rhetoric and with the help of the godless liberal media, criticize those trying to lead us back to the system of free enterprise which has given to our country, up until now, the greatest standard of living ever known. At the same time Obama is leading us quickly to a socialistic dictatorship! “Harsh Words for G.O.P.

POPE BENEDICT XVI explicitly described this idea as erroneous in his encyclical letter “Caritas In Veritate”: “It is nevertheless erroneous to hold that the market economy has an inbuilt need for a quota of poverty and underdevelopment in order to function at its best. It is in the interests of the market to promote emancipation. … The processes of globalization, suitably understood and directed, open up the unprecedented possibility of large-scale redistribution of wealth on a world-wide scale; if badly directed, however, they can lead to an increase in poverty and inequality, and could even trigger a global crisis.” (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate_en.html">http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate_en.html</a>). WHAT SHOULD BE IMPORTANT is not so much how much wealth the wealthy have, but WHETHER WE CAN BRING EVERYONE ELSE OUT OF POVERTY. The poor are not raised out of poverty by just leveling everything down. This is how socialists and socialist democrats typically talk about progress; this is how it plays out economically. For the socialists, it is not about wealth creation, about making the pie bigger. It is about making sure that everyone is exactly the same. In terms of it’s fundamental view of the human person, POPE JOHN PAUL II pointed out in his encyclical “CENTESIMUS ANNUS” (1991) that the problem with socialism is that it denies the reality of human free choice and free will. It is clear with Marx and Engels, they had a major problem with the family, marriage, and religion, specifically Catholicism. They were very deterministic in that all is determinate in what they call historical materialism. “Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that THE GOOD OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS COMPLETELY SUBORDINATED TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC MECHANISM.” (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_01051991_centesimus-annus_en.html">http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_01051991_centesimus-annus_en.html</a>). Contrast this socialistic tendency and thrust to focus on efficiency and production, with what Pope John Paul II called the FEMININE “GENIUS” which helps societies to focus on the human person. Without this feminine “genius”, society ends up doing many things but looses sight of the proper motive and use for all this “progress”. “In our own time, the successes of science and technology make it possible to attain material well-being to a degree hitherto unknown. While this favors some, it pushes others to the edges of society. In this way, unilateral progress can also lead to a gradual loss of sensitivity for man, that is, for what is essentially human. In this sense, our time in particular awaits the manifestation of that "genius" which belongs to women, and which can ensure sensitivity for human beings in every circumstance: because they are human! - and because "the greatest of these is love" (cf. 1 Cor 13:13).”; Mulieris Dignitatem; Pope John Paul II (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_letters/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_15081988_mulieris-dignitatem_en.html">http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_letters/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_15081988_mulieris-dignitatem_en.html</a>). For us Catholics, on ash Wednesday, the priests sprinkles ashes on the heads of the faithful saying: “Remember, you are dust and to dust you shall return!” Who is God and who are we? GOD HAS AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL DESIGN FOR EACH ONE OF US FROM ALL ETERNITY! But if we trust more in ourselves than in our omnipotent Creator, we are like a conductor of a train who feels there is more freedom and fun going off the train tracks that were established by God, printed in our hearts. Then the world with the TV, mass media, the culture of death, etc., convince us that we are more happy with our train of life in the sand of our pleasures of sex, drugs, domination over others, taking advantage of others for our own egotistical and prideful desires, etc. To be able to return to the train tracks created and established by the infinite Creator, one has to make a true conversion by praying for humility to be able to admit that God knows better than we, and to trust in Him, to turn away from ourselves to Him, and then to make a good examine of conscience and sacramental confession. Then back on the train tracks, we then have the liberty to travel throughout the world on these tracks already laid by our loving Creator for our true freedom (Jn 8)! And furthermore, who can find and provide for us more happiness, we who are made of dust, or our infinite Creator who loves each of us immensely and personally? Who do we trust? Are we full of pride or humility in truth? “THE RIGHT TO THE EXERCISE OF FREEDOM… is an inalienable requirement of the dignity of the human person. This right must be recognized and protected by civil authority.” (CCC 1738). ONE’S “CONSCIENCE MUST BE INFORMED and moral judgment enlightened. A well-formed conscience is upright and truthful…” (CCC 1783-1785). Lord Acton phrased this by “Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought.” Mark Shea quotes G.K. CHESTERTON, “If there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have been highly democratic. A DESPOTISM MAY ALMOST BE DEFINED AS A TIRED DEMOCRACY. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.” (<a href="http://markshea.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-democracies-become-tyrannies.html">http://markshea.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-democracies-become-tyrannies.html</a>).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen (“Servant of God”) pointed out the contrast between the totalitarian nations of the world, where religion was suppressed, and the western world. He would say in totalitarian countries, they have the cross without Christ. They have discipline that is forced on people; they have hard labor, oppression. He said in our western society, WE HAVE CHRIST WITHOUT THE CROSS. Christ was weak; He could not save anyone because there was no discipline, no self denial. Fulton Sheen used to wonder, will these totalitarian countries find Christ, since they already have the cross, before the western society finds the cross because we already have Christ. “But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Cor 1:23-24). “<a href="http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-does-socialism-always-fail.html">Why Does Socialism Always Fail?</a> - This Professor is a Genius!”; (<a href="http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-does-socialism-always-fail.html">http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-does-socialism-always-fail.html</a>). The early Christians lived socialism giving of their goods FREELY to love others while the socialism of our modern dictators FORCE people to relinquish their goods and property! The order in heaven is an eternal benevolent dictatorship. The order in hell is an eternal malevolent dictatorship. In the end each one of us, according to the choices we make in this short life on earth, will end up either in heaven or in hell for all eternity, whether we believe or do not believe in the existence of heaven or hell! We do not create reality nor the laws governing reality whether we believe it or not! Lucifer freely chose to believe the absurdity that he, a creature, was greater than God, the Creator, and so he became Satan in eternal confusion and relativism in hell! This is the state of our culture that we are quickly approaching. To paraphrase, DEMOCRACY IS HARD, AND MANY OF US ARE TIRED OF IT; WE WOULD RATHER SLEEP. The time is a call to wake up, to belly up to the bar, to participate, to, in fact, do our homework, and then to exercise the freedoms and liberties that are not just gifts but responsibilities, a duty to our society, to our civilization and our children who will follow after us. America, wake up; do not settle for the easy way. We humans tend toward mediocrity. But God calls all to great holiness; it is a sin to not correspond with each and every grace from God. There is no place in heaven for the mediocre but only for saints. The Bible is for everyone, not just for St. Francis and other recognized saints. My Dad used to say that most people today prefer to go to hell graciously! Our egotistical world manipulators want to take us to a dictatorship as smooth as possible; if no one wakes up, all the better for them. Satan would be happy to take as many as possible to hell for eternity without a whimper!!! Because when someone wakes up to the grave deception, others wake up who know this person. THERE ARE SO FEW WILLING TO BE “POLITICALLY INCORRECT” today! The Truth Shall Set You Free (Jn 8:32)! Economic socialism, in which the state owns and administers all the means of production and distribution of all goods, was the ECONOMIC COMPONENT of every evil political ideology we have seen in recent years: Nazism, communism, fascism, radical Islamic fundamentalism... All these political ideologies had the consistent thread, that consistent economic component of socialism. And the crux of socialism is the so-called community ownership. But it is not really community ownership; there is tremendous potential for abuse in this system. Ownership of private property, as the Church teaches, is an intrinsic human value that is woven into the very fabric of humanity. The EARLY CHRISTIANS practiced a type of socialism by FREELY offering their goods for the benefit of all the members in the community; the SOCIALISM of our modern day dictators FORCES people to relinquish control of their goods and production through various methods of manipulation and deception. “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery” -- Winston Churchill. People are so easily deceived. GM is no longer “General Motors” but “GOVERNMENT MOTORS”! This may not seem as a consolation, but EUROPE is quit a few steps ahead of the USA on the way to SELF DESTRUCTION; they are well down the road to socialism. Western European socialists have realized that the best way to build up mass support for their policies is essentially to bribe the population into accepting them. This is why you have INCREDIBLY LARGE WELFARE STATES in western Europe, which means you build up big constituencies of people who have a vested interest in making sure that large segments of the economy are controlled by the state. Then people do not want to see things change because they do not want to see their welfare checks suddenly start to decline. They do not want to see a situation whereby they have to work longer than 35 hours a week, that they actually have to get real jobs instead of being civil servants, etc. This is where they have been very successful in effectively creating a situation whereby 51% of the population are persuaded that it is good and right and proper and just to loot the other 49% of the population. They do not want to loose their easy security. “YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE THE POOR INTO FREEDOM BY LEGISLATING THE WEALTHY OUT OF FREEDOM. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” - Dr. Adrian Rogers. Though Dr. Rogers said it in 1984, his words are so relevant to what we are facing in America today.

THE ONES WHO LED THE 1968 MASSIVE REJECTION OF AUTHORITY ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE NOW IN POSITIONS OF POWER! “The Woodstock Generation!” Do you remember how Simon & Garfunkel mesmerized that generation telling us that we have no free will: “Like a rat in a maze the pattern before me lies” (“Patterns”), and thus we can blame everybody else for our problems: “When I think back at all the crap I learned in High School…” (“Kodachrome/Maybellene”). Contrast this hideous and immature attitude with gratitude toward God, parents and teachers! We have all received so much from our Creator who gave us all that we have freely out of love. So many ungrateful people are like tubes in which love enters at one end from God and others and then they choose to block the other end to use all they have been given for themselves rather than being an open tube which passes on the love received to others. But I have a certain sympathy for these people because almost all of them come from families poisoned by the contraceptive mentality of their parents; the so-called sexual revolution, free from all restraints or rules, like the train off the railroad tracks or the preschool children outside of the protecting walls of the playground! We have swallowed the lies of the father of lies, Satan, offered to us by his numerous followers! I remember when I gave my valedictorian High School speech at the graduation ceremonies in 1970, my friend gave his speech PARROTING THIS SICK, IMMATURE, CRITICAL AND HATEFUL SPIRIT OF THE 1968 GANG and even used phrases and ideas straight out of the Simon & Garfunkel lyrics; this same friend was not very happy when I later turned down his invitations at UCLA to come to his depressing pot parties. My egotistical and disgusting schoolmates of my generation are now eating off of and destroying the foundation of our free society paid for by the countless sacrifices and blood of so many of our brave and generous soldiers and forefathers who came before us. Like they used to say: these people are “gross”, sick egotists! In the midst of these contradictions and hypocrisy and rejection of fundamental Christian values, they sing: “I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war” (Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream). This corresponds well with Cardinal Biffi’s description of the Antichrist “as pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist.” As the world planners (“Club of Rome”, etc.) prepare to eliminate millions upon millions of unneeded human beings, the multitudes of gullible people swallow all their mass propaganda: “And people in the streets below were dancing round and round” (Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream)! Our evangelical brothers describe (below) “a peace contract in the Middle East for seven years” (Dan 9:27). But how can there be peace when Jesus, the "Prince of Peace" (Is 9:6) is rejected? Jesus told Sister Faustina: “Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy” (Diary: 699) With the help of the mass media and the tremendous influence of the militant secularists, nihilists, and relativists in key European positions of power, THE EUROPEAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DUPED INTO TOTALLY HANDING OVER THEIR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY to the bureaucrats in Brussels who are not elected and cannot be remove by the people now that the 27 European nations have approved the Lisbon Treaty (the European Constitution). DECLAN GANLEY, THE LEADER OF LIBERTAS, clearly shows that the LISBON TREATY, in particular article 48, give these institutions in Brussels the ability to change the deal, to change the treaty, the constitution, now that the new constitution is approved by all the 27 member nations. IT IS TRULY FRIGHTENING! Americans are a little bit more awake and have a little bit more moral fiber left even after the onslaughts of these militant secularists in the last 50 years in the U.S. The generosity to life (birth rate) and church attendance is significantly higher in the U.S. than in Europe, although going down fast. Obama has to operate in a more covert and deceptive way to bring forth the same goal of a socialistic dictatorship. In the end, sooner than we want to imagine, the world planners will create a major crisis and eliminate those who do not totally submit to their world plan. It is interesting that the free enterprise system of the U.S. has produced the greatest wealth in the history of the world and thus the socialists have worked hard to infiltrate the higher echelons of government, education, media and even religious institutions, so as to use the accumulated money and power of the U.S. precisely against the U.S. But by creating their socialistic dictatorship and system they destroy the innovation and economy of the highly successful U.S. system. Is this not what happens in hell? “Libertas’ Declan Ganley comeback against ‘democracy-hating’ Lisbon treaty”; (<a href="http://www.cafebabel.it/article/31300/declan-ganley-comeback-referendum-lisbon-treaty-09.html%22">http://www.cafebabel.it/article/31300/declan-ganley-comeback-referendum-lisbon-treaty-09.html%22</a>). “<a href="http://irelandandlisbon.blogactiv.eu/2009/10/03/there-is-less-to-this-than-meets-the-eye-2/">There is Less to This than Meets the Eye</a>” (<a href="http://irelandandlisbon.blogactiv.eu/2009/10/03/there-is-less-to-this-than-meets-the-eye-2/">http://irelandandlisbon.blogactiv.eu/2009/10/03/there-is-less-to-this-than-meets-the-eye-2/</a>). “Vatican issues Lisbon Treaty warning to Irish voters” - The article in the Telegraph reports that COIR welcomed the Vatican’s intervention.

The frightening thing is that there are those in the USA who want to hasten our following Europe as our ideal. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER IN THE MAKING! I am not a pessimist. We know the last chapter of the book! We win! But we should be realists like St. Thomas, based on the purely objective reality created by God. The further we get a field of this base of objective truth the more easily Satan and his puppets can manipulate us and lead us astray in any direction they decide. The German people were not evil. The Japanese people were not evil. The Russian people were not evil. But it was a VERY FEW IDEOLOGUES that seized control and then MANIPULATED A COMPLACENT AND UNWARY POPULACE. Let us not say that it cannot happen in America! According to Edmund Burke, evil triumphs when the good do nothing. If the Godly, who have not fallen into the fundamental trap of being distracted and complacent with illicit pleasures and sex, do not go out to fight the forces of evil, the forces of evil will come to us. Those of good will, all true Christians, are the stars of Heaven, so we must shine brightly! On the darkest night, the stars shine the brightest. “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!” -- Pericles (430 B.C.). DO NOT FORGET THAT GERMANY WAS THE MOST EDUCATED, THE MOST CULTURED COUNTRY IN EUROPE. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. … all with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. <a title="Permanent Link to The RTT Ruse" href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/04/127739/">The RTT Ruse</a>: On February 25th, while Barack Obama chatted about ObamaCare with members of Congress, the Federal Department of Education – lead by its cabinet level chief Arne Duncan who’s also from Chicago – prepped for release to the public his and his boss’s second assault on our freedom; this time a scheme to further intrude on your child’s education. As an <a href="http://pioneerinstitute.org/pdf/100223_why_race_to_the_middle.pdf">announcement from two think tanks</a> put it: “generationally important Tenth Amendment issues [were] opened on two fronts—the prospect of centralizing health care and education policy.” And that’s pretty much what’s going on, but using expressions like “two fronts” assumes a great deal from the average reader or listener these days. That’s because such expressions harken back to historical events the facts on which the general populace is thin. Doubt me? Ask anyone under 40 why Hitler shouldn’t have invaded The Soviet Union. (<a href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/04/127739/">http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/04/127739/</a>). JUST AS UNDER COMMUNIST RUSSIA AND CHINA, parental rights are being quickly taken away by our U.S. government. (<a href="http://parentalrightstn.blogspot.com/">http://parentalrightstn.blogspot.com/</a>). One of the components of this takeover is economic catastrophe which is what socialism does according to the writings of the Popes. And then when that happens, when there is so much misery and so much discontent, then people like Hitler or Stalin can rise to power because it creates a situation where people are so desperate that they are LOOKING FOR SALVATION FROM A MESSIAH, that is not Jesus, that’s for sure. Without grace, this eventually happens every time. In Russia there was a horrible abject poverty before WWI. Then with millions being killed with incompetent generals, they revolted and they ended up with a worse oppression than the Czar. This is where the IMPORTANCE OF BALANCE comes in which we find in the documents of the Church. When a bigger and bigger segment of the population is getting more and more poor, when the worker is oppressed, the everyday man in his job, while a smaller and smaller number of people are garnering a bigger and bigger share of the wealth, what happens? With every new bill, WITH DIFFERENT DISGUISES AND PACKAGING, Obama is bringing all the money and power and decision making to the federal level, so that if you have a problem, you will not be able to solve it locally, but you must have recourse to bureaucrats (czars!) in Washington… Is Obama the Anointed One?

It is true that THE GREED OF HUMAN nature enlightens us about the fact that the bosses, as well as the unions, seek to acquire as much wealth with as little work as possible which tends toward bankruptcy; but at least with a capitalistic system, with a minimally functional democratic government, there are some checks and balances. But maneuvered bankruptcy gives the GREEDY GOVERNMENT bureaucrats the excuse and legal right to take more, and even total control of the businesses, especially with the help of the rich international bankers who helped to create the conditions for bankruptcy and forfeiture of the businesses. But history has always shown that BIG GOVERNMENT IS MUCH MORE PRONE TO HUMAN GREED AND THE THIRST FOR POWER, especially since there is no one or no governing body above them to MONITOR AND CONTROL THEIR GREED, except the “New World Order”, which will be worse than the world has ever seen or will see in the future! The everyday thieves are put in jail; the thieves in government make the laws and thus do not go to jail! Thus with the beautiful rhetoric in the name of “progress”, “equality for all”, “the common good” and “social justice”, these insatiable government officials promote socialism with beautiful propaganda as they seek to dismantle or nullify the state or national constitution of checks and balances so as to facilitate their way to a socialistic dictatorship. These power seeking government officials offer themselves as the solution for the forfeiture of the businesses. But who or what will be the solution and control for the forfeiture and DESTRUCTION OF TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENTS who have totally failed the people who they claim to represent? You guessed it! The New World Order! “One World Government? Globe may not be big enough - The New World Order came into being at 4:25 Tuesday afternoon”; (<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/10/AR2009111015034.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/10/AR2009111015034.html</a>). All is held in a very delicate balance by the Creator of all things. Even a tiny atom is held in existence by its Creator. So too there is a DELICATE BALANCE IN SOCIETY. The more people follow the laws and rules of the Creator of society, the better things go for society. The more people follow the human instincts of greed and power or sloth, the worse things go for the social order. This is also the reason why groups and societies are always in need of renewal as history clearly shows. Sometimes these renewals came about by longsuffering saintly people who truly loved God and their fellow brothers and sisters, especially the weakest and most defenseless. But unfortunately these needed renewals most often come about after the great destruction of wars and much bloodshed and loss of life. In an interview with the Sec. of Agriculture, Esra Taft Benson during the Eisenhower administration, KHRUSHCHEV said, “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you; we will so weaken your economy UNTIL YOU FALL LIKE OVERRIPE FRUIT INTO OUR HANDS.” Dr. Oley Turiy, Director of the Institute of Church History (L’viv), explains that especially under Khrushchev, and this is a paradox, since the west associates Khrushchev with liberal policies and an introduction of a measure of freedom, that the most severe church closing policies were introduced. This policy even included the churches that formerly belonged to the Russian orthodox Church. In 1960 Khrushchev hosted the 21st congress of the Communist party. At this event he said that within 20 years he would appear on television to reveal, as a curiosity, the last surviving Christian in the USSR. Khrushchev assured his audience that after the death of this individual, Christianity would cease to exist altogether in what he dubbed THE FATHERLAND OF THE HOLY PROLETARIAT! AMERICAN CAPITALISM GONE WITH A WHIMPER! Here is an excellent article on the decline of America into Marxism by none other than a Russian - who better to recognize Marxism pure and simple? Stanislav Mishin, writing in Pravda, the Russian State Newspaper, on June 1, 2009 stated: “It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, THE AMERICAN DECENT INTO MARXISM IS HAPPENING WITH BREATH TAKING SPEED, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.” (<a href="http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/">http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/</a>). “As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html</a>). “Has increase in government power crossed over to socialism?

We need more world leaders like Pope John Paul II. “Nine Days That Changed The World” (<a href="http://ninedaysthatchangedtheworld.com/">http://ninedaysthatchangedtheworld.com/</a>)! 24. Subsidiarity Among other things, including the evils of abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia and the destruction of the family (same sex marriages, etc.), I wrote the following paragraph to my representatives in the senate and in the congress: “Please promote the principle of subsidiarity so that our country does not become a socialistic dictatorship but remains “for the people and by the people”. SUBSIDIARITY is an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority. The Oxford English Dictionary defines subsidiarity as the idea that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed effectively at a more immediate or local level. Let us give the power back to the people before it is too late!” "WE THE PEOPLE", is one of the most-quoted sections of the Constitution and of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. President Abraham Lincoln, at his famous “Gettysburg Address” in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19, 1863, said: … “that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Let us not pervert and destroy our country by changing Lincoln’s words to: “that government of the government, by the government, for the government”! Our precious and wisely written United States Constitution begins with the words: “We the People”! We must not let these ruthless conceited bureaucrats interpret this God-inspired document as: “WE THE GOVERNMENT”! This is precisely the reason for the American Revolution! The word subsidiarity is derived from the Latin word subsidiarius and has its origins in Catholic social teaching (RERUM NOVARUM, 1891, Pope Leo XIII; QUADRAGESIMO ANNO, 1931, Pope Pius XI). THOMAS JEFFERSON, our 3rd. President of the USA, declared "That government is best which governs least." He also said: “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have...” Is this not right in line with the principle of subsidiarity? It doesn't take a brain surgeon to conclude that Mr. Jefferson must be whirling in his grave at the current effort by President Barack Obama to increase our government to a size and scope unprecedented in history, using taxpayer money in amounts that exceed our comprehension. With each new bill touted as "crucial" for the economy, the government is getting MORE CONTROL over banks, health care, jobs, housing and more. It is an all-out assault on capitalism and the form of government conceived and enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Obama is always thinking about the best for the American people; since he assumes we do not know what we are doing, he must use every technique possible to lead us toward a socialistic dictatorship for our own good! After all, the socialists do not understand that normal people have a free will given to them by their Creator (which does not exist according to these wise and intelligent leaders (Mt 11:25; Lk 10:21)) and thus these elitists must provide for us poor ignoramuses! “Analysis: Obama's stronger role on Wall Street reform” (<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/22/analysis.obama.wallstreet/">http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/22/analysis.obama.wallstreet/</a>). “Obama pushes Wall Street reform with populism” (<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64B50I20100515">http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64B50I20100515</a>). “Wall Street reform bill in detail - What Obama's shake-up of the banking and financial sectors contains – and what it seems to be missing” (<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/may/21/us-financial-reform-bill-measures">http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/may/21/us-financial-reform-bill-measures</a>). “Once again, JOSEPH FARAH, now this is world net daily, had this to say: As the national government becomes more centralized and bureaucratic, it will also become less democratic, and more despotic, than ever.” (<a href="http://www.livedash.com/transcript/jack_van_impe_presents/13/KOFY/Monday_February_22_2010/157588/">http://www.livedash.com/transcript/jack_van_impe_presents/13/KOFY/Monday_February_22_2010/157588/</a>).

THE UN OPERATES EXACTLY OPPOSITE TO THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSIDIARITY; these bureaucrats have no business telling people how many babies to have and forcing abortions and contraceptives, especially on countries where these policies are totally contrary to their local culture, as in Africa and South America! “Why Is The West So Bent On Imposing Abortion On Other Sovereign Nations?” (<a href="http://special-guests.com/guests/viewnews.cgi?id=EkyAVVEFElpXIfghSo&style=Full%20Article">http://special-guests.com/guests/viewnews.cgi?id=EkyAVVEFElpXIfghSo&style=Full%20Article</a>). “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Urges Canada to Promote Abortion at G8 Mtg” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1495.html">http://www.lifenews.com/int1495.html</a>). “Abortion is Safer Than Childbirth?

In Pope Benedict’s recent encyclical, ”Charity in Truth”, he recognizes the need at times to be able to have a higher authority to resolve problems that the lower authorities do not succeed in resolving. Because of this admission, some want to accuse the Pope of being in favor of the “New World Order”. But he very clearly holds fast to the constant principle of the Catholic Church, SUBSIDIARITY, which means that the sovereignty of each nation must be protected and safeguarded by any possible higher authority. Pope Benedict makes numerous references to the principle of subsidiarity in his encyclical. Regarding a higher authority he wrote: “Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good, and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth” (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate_en.html">http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate_en.html</a>). Every day seems to be a new ADVENTURE IN DISASTER. One bailout after another bailout, huge budgets and thieves in government who call 700 billion dollars as “chump change”, considered inconsequential because it’s our money! “A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money” -- G. Gordon Liddy. “Talk is cheap... except when Congress does it” – Anonymous. “I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle ...” -- Winston Churchill. MORE GOVERNMENT TAKOVER (June 19, 2010) “You would think that the Far Left’s blatant attempts to obliterate the U.S. Constitution would be newsworthy, wouldn’t you? Instead, the liberal media applaud efforts by the Obama administration to trample on the First Amendment and abuse executive power! Last week, President Obama’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed their plans to bail out failing liberal news organizations with $35 billion ... of our tax dollars! They call this “reinventing journalism.” (You may have noticed a pattern here – when liberals say they want to reinvent something, they always mean they want to take it over!). This is nothing less than an attempt to seize control of the press – a clear violation of the First Amendment! It just doesn’t get any more anti-American than this. This is something we would expect in the Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany. But in the United States of America?!?!?!?” (<a href="http://www.thoughts.com/averageamerican/blog/MORE-GOVERNMENT-TAKOVER-584761/">http://www.thoughts.com/averageamerican/blog/MORE-GOVERNMENT-TAKOVER-584761/</a>).

Thus we are condemned to repeat all of the mistakes and horrors of the past! “I don't make jokes... I just watch the government and report the facts” -- Will Rogers. 25. We Have Cast Aside Our Real Power! Our Lady of Fatima told us that wars are caused by the sins of everyone (not just the heads of state). THE MORE WE SIN AND THE LESS WE PRAY AND THE LESS WE DO GOD’S HOLY WILL, the more the followers of Satan have power. The more we pray and do God’s will and avoid sin, the less power these prideful, powerful people of the world have. We have the power in our hands, especially those who have received more truth and grace from God, such as Catholics. If those who have received more “TALENTS” (Mt 25:14-30) from God use them wisely, the world would be in great shape. But today the great majority of those who have received more graces and truth from God (which would also unite them more closely to the sufferings of Christ crucified) have discarded these “talents”, these gifts from God especially by rejecting the cross of Jesus in their lives. This is why history shows that the first priority of the dictators of the world was to subvert and then destroy the Catholic Church in each country, in particular, to eliminate the greatest source of grace (strength and help) from God, the Most Holy Eucharist. When the oppressive regimes came to power in the last 100 years in Spain, Russia and Mexico, the first thing they did was to kill as many priests and bishops as they could to take away the greatest source of power (THE EUCHARIST) to resist the evil designs of these Godless tyrants. They killed over 4000 priests in Spain alone, less than 90 years ago. This is why these world connivers promote sin, such as using artificial contraception, abortion, euthanasia, sex outside marriage as normal and even good, pornography, compulsory sex education and “gay sensitivity training” in the elementary and secondary schools (diabolical programs that are destroying souls and corrupting our entire society), the DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY, every kind of egoism and hedonism, etc. Behold their P-Squad: Permissiveness, Promiscuity, Pornography, Prostitution, Potions, Progressivism! They always use beautiful, nice, deceptive words (Dan 8:25; see also Dan 11:21,24) so as not to cause a reaction and awake our consciences to the truth and the real consequences of their policies, in order to render the people weak, confused and unable to resist the onslaughts of the intended enslavement. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits” (Mt 7:15-16). The greatest obstacle for these world planners to bring about socialistic dictatorships around the world, all under their control, is the Catholic Church. See: Obama's "Catholic Plan", Divide and conquer: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVN2MMuiedI&feature=sdig&et=1242466852">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVN2MMuiedI&feature=sdig&et=1242466852</a>. Just as the Church converted the things of the past to Christianity instead of destroying them, so too the New World Order does the same to use for their purposes. They use the Muslims, terrorists, etc. In the past, dissenters of the truth left the Church; now they remain in the Church to try to convert the Church to non-truth which used to be called heresy!

Thus THE BEST WEAPONS are precisely what our heavenly Mother told us almost 100 years ago at Fatima: PRAYER AND SACRIFICES.

It is by now impossible to save the sinking ship, our beloved country, that we allowed these fools to slowly fill full of holes, letting out, first of all, the graces and helps from God, and then, as a consequence, the Christian social fabric, the economy, etc. WE ARE TO BLAME for having given the power and control to these egotistical puppets of Satan who have in turn accelerated the sinking of the ship with the money and power that we have given to them so as to pay for abortions in the whole world and use the mass media to undermine or destroy the last remaining religious voices in the public square!

The General also stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

"There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing." ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??? Obama said: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.

WILLIAM WRIGHT WROTE THAT THERE IS NO POLITICAL REVOLUTION WITHOUT A SEXUAL REVOLUTION! “But some one will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one; you do well. EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE – AND SHUDDER” (Jms 2:18-19). It is amazing that these powerful people, so close to their hidden leader, Satan, and who claim there is no God; know better than the great majority of Catholics the source of our great strength. “For the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light” (Lk 16:8). The great majority of Catholics do not even have one hour a week to thank their Lord in the Eucharist (after a good, sincere, well-formed conscience confession), Who gave them everything they have! These ruthless “angels of light” who declare that there is no God, realize that our greatest source of strength to defend ourselves from their onslaughts is the Eucharist! They even steal Consecrated Hosts to desecrate the Body of Christ in their Black Masses! And they call themselves atheists! If we want to persevere to the end in our long life’s journey in the desert, like Jesus in the desert 40 days, amidst many dangers and trials, to arrive to our home in heaven (“the mount of God”) we need heavenly food! “And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touched him [Elijah], and said, “Arise and eat, else the journey will be too great for you. … And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God” (1Kings 19:7-8). How can a Christian not believe in the Eucharist or believe that the Eucharist is only a symbol after reading the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John?!? Jesus: “YES, THE COMMUNION IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH GOD: JESUS EUCHARIST LOVE! Are you ready to receive Me with the white gown, purified and cleaned from all the sin that has darkened the view of the whole Truth, and [that] it makes you become opaque and grey. Re-clean yourselves from the ‘grime’ and make to shine your soul! May there be an effort to believe that in that Host there is God and he loves you. But I wait for you clean and purified: do not partake of the Eucharist remaining in sin, it is something grave, very grave! It would be to put the ‘wax’ in order to seal a writing, and put on it the mark of belonging to Satan!”.

Contraception is the gateway to abortion. “THE SONS OF LIGHT” do not realize why their society and country is crumbling and thus why their economy is now about to crash after following the allurements of these world masters for so many years! “Uncovering A String of Lies About Contraception” (<a href="http://www.4marks.com/articles/details.html?article_id=5073">http://www.4marks.com/articles/details.html?article_id=5073</a>). “PRIVACY, THE COURTS, AND THE CULTURE OF DEATH - An Interview with Dr. Janet E.

Read: “Catholic Martyrs of the Twentieth Century : A COMPREHENSIVE WORLD HISTORY” by Robert Royal. See also <a href="http://www.thomasewoods.com/">http://www.thomasewoods.com/</a> (“How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization”). There have been more Christian martyrs in the twentieth century than in all the rest of Christianity combined! What is happening to “America, the land of the free”? See: “Cardinal George - Keep CONSCIENCE PROTECTIONS for Health Care Workers” at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NoCRwMqVzQ&feature=player_embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NoCRwMqVzQ&feature=player_embedded</a>. Cardinal George has no jurisdiction in all of the American Catholic Universities because in 1966 the USA Supreme Court took away all power from the Church and from the Religious Congregations who founded these universities by giving the power to the board of directors of the university which cannot have a majority of members from the founding religious congregation! We truly have cast aside our real power! It takes humility to seek and to submit to the truth that we discover outside ourselves, in creation, in reality created by our Creator, and by His divine revelation. But authentic humility is a great source of peace. Satan and his followers absolutely hate humility! The only thing Satan cannot deal with is humility. It is totally against his nature. Because HUMILITY IS TRUTH, the truth that God is the Creator and we are creatures made from nothing, by divine will. The truth is not something; the truth is a Person, Jesus Christ. Lucifer, the most beautiful and intelligent angel ever created wanted to be like God, and even believed he was God. The meaning of “Michael”, in the great battle with “the dragon and his angels” in heaven, is “Who is like God?” (Rev 12:7; Dan 12:1)! There are so many people today, in their pride, who have fallen for the same temptation of Lucifer (Gen 3:4-5), who became Satan. We must pray often to St. Michael the Archangel to lead the battle once again against Satan and his numerous angelic followers, the devils, who roam the earth. We must pray for those poor duped human beings on earth who need to hear the voice of St. Michael, WHO IS LIKE GOD?. We need his help today! “NOW WAR AROSE IN HEAVEN, MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FIGHTING AGAINST THE DRAGON; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world – he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him” (Rev 12:7-9). The prophet Daniel, regarding our times, tells us: “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of you people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time you people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book” (Dan 12:1). WITHOUT HUMILITY THERE IS NO VIRTUE! All good things come from God; we cannot even have a good thought without the help and grace from God. It is important to ask for this help and grace often. God is totally respectful of our fundamental gift of our free will. If we do not ask, we will not receive. This is why Jesus exhorts us to “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Mt 6:7-8; 21:22; Lk 11:10; Jn 16:24). God who made you without your consent, will not save you without your consent. If, in true humility and gratitude for all that we have received from our Creator, we do not acknowledge ours sins of lack of love and so much egoism, and do not ask for mercy from God, He will not give us mercy and our sins remain! We as Catholics have the incredible gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but fewer and fewer take advantage of this opportunity to be washed in the blood of Jesus by way of Christ’s instrument, the Priest. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Mt 11:29; see also: Mt 23:12; Lk 14:11; 18:14). Neil Armstrong upon taking a step on the moon in 1969 said: “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” People saw the earth as fragile and in need of friends and so there sprang up groups like “Friends of the Earth”. But while growing in technology, people formed peace movements, but left God and the 10 Commandments. On a monument in Europe, commemorating many victims of the holocaust of World War II, one reads: “THOSE WHO IGNORE HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!” As we sin more and pray less, we give more power to the forces of evil who then use this superabundance of power and money to promote even more sin and destruction of religion, thus accelerated their goal of total domination. VERY SOON WE WILL SEE A MORAL AND CIVIL AVALANCHE INTO THE DEPTHS OF CHAOS, AS HENRY KISSINGER PREDICTED! (<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/.../henry-kissinger-the-world-must-forge-a-new-order-or-retreat-to-chaos-1451416.html">www.independent.co.uk/.../henry-kissinger-the-world-must-forge-a-new-order-or-retreat-to-chaos-1451416.html</a>). Guess who will be waiting for us with the jail keys, or rather a microchip, thus making the entire world one giant prison! We all must say in our hearts when we see a poor sinner: “Except for the grace of GOD, there go I”. We all have received a certain amount of truth, some more, some less. We Catholics have receive the fullness of the truth and the fullness of the means of sanctification especially in the Holy Sacraments. But most Catholics today have let themselves be led astray by many “angels of light” and have FORFEITED THEIR GREAT GIFTS, including their belief in the incredible treasure and power of the Eucharist, the intercession of the Mother of God and the guidance of the Rock (Mt 16:18), the living Pope, in a very confusing and perilous world. So many are totally adrift in very perilous waters! All the dictators and terrorists all rolled together are nothing compared to the devastation of immorality! A morally weak nation is easy to enslave. To know, love and serve GOD is the meaning of life. The rest is just dust! If you kick the Rock, you will break your foot on the Rock. When Christ asked, "Who do you say that I am", one person had the answer, Peter, the “Rock”; all the rest had an opinion. 26. The Tea Parties The people who promote the so-called “Tea Party” certainly help to undermine Obama’s credibility, deflate his messianic pretensions, sow widespread public discontent with his socialist economic program, and perhaps even limit, on an ad hoc basis, the amount of damage he can cause. Like the Boston Tea Party, today there is more and more taxation without representation. See “Conservative Woodstock Rocks the Capital - Patriotic anti-big-government taxpayers blast through the million protester mark”; September 12, 2009, Washington, D.C. (<a href="http://www.lookingattheleft.com/2009/09/conservative-woodstock-rocks-the-capital/">http://www.lookingattheleft.com/2009/09/conservative-woodstock-rocks-the-capital/</a>). “Tea Party effect becomes apparent in local elections” (<a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/state/stories/DN-candidates_01met.ART0.State.Edition1.4b84896.html">http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/politics/state/stories/DN-candidates_01met.ART0.State.Edition1.4b84896.html</a>). “Obama's 'tea party' complex” (<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0417/Obama-s-tea-party-complex">http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0417/Obama-s-tea-party-complex</a>). “Bill Clinton Warns Tea Party Anger Could Incite Right-Wing Extremism” (<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/16/clinton-warns-tea-party-anger-incite-right-wing-extremism/?test=latestnews">http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/16/clinton-warns-tea-party-anger-incite-right-wing-extremism/?test=latestnews</a>). WHY DO SO MANY NOT SEE at least the visible manifestations of how Obama and the democrats are destroying America? There is no more regard for trying to live the Ten Commandments as well as seeking God’s help through daily prayer; thus, simply put, they are blind (2Thess 2:11-12)! “<a href="http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/view?q=view%3Apopular&a=C-FsvF7yZuBfzM&source=news&type=embed" target="_parent">The Promise: Year One of the Obama Presidency</a> - As someone who admires Barack Obama and worked for a year on his presidential campaign, I find it hard to understand the depth of the anger he has inspired on the political right. His policies are left of center but hardly extreme, and by themselves don’t explain why a small but significant portion of the country sees in his ascent to power the end of life as we know it in America.” (<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/Book-Reviews/2010/0525/The-Promise-Year-One-of-the-Obama-Presidency">http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/Book-Reviews/2010/0525/The-Promise-Year-One-of-the-Obama-Presidency</a>). “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for THE TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil” (Mt 12:33-35; 7:17-19; Lk 6:43-45). The Tea Partiers succeed in not looking just at the tree with its deceptive foliage of beautiful words and lies facilitated by a highly controlled mass media, educational systems and even religious institutions; but at least they recognize the real fruits, the “visible manifestations” of the ground work being laid for the “end of life as we know it in America”. But just about all of the grievances of those in the tea parties relate to the pocketbook. They do not address hardly at all the greatest causes and FUNDAMENTAL ROOTS of the destruction of America. For example, among so many great evils indicated in this article, they do not address the evil of pornography, which, thanks to the “free market,” flows throughout our society like toxic waste in open sewers, corrupting generation after generation of Americans, ruining marriages and feeding the sick minds of serial killers, rapists and other deviants. Married men who regularly look at pornography, are really betraying their wives and having sex not with their wives, while in bed with their wives, but with the non-existent porn star imbedded in their memories. Has pornography helped men to give themselves in self-sacrifice for their wives or to use their wives for their own pleasure. With pornography the man becomes the predator instead of the protector. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss! BEFORE 1950, Christian men generally did not regularly look at pornographic images; the divorce rate was about 8% among Christian marriages; now the divorce rate among Christians is about the same as the rest of the world! One of the main priorities of the Freemasons and other groups seeking to destroy religion and the society so as to render us their slaves was to promote pornography as much as possible! Pope John Paul II said that the problem with pornography is not that it shows too much, but that it does not show enough; looking at pornography does not help the male to see the beauty inside of the woman! “Rush Limbaugh Weds for 4th Time, and Elton John Sings” (<a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20391620,00.html">http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20391620,00.html</a>). “God the Father: “WE ARE AT THE EXTREMES OF THE ESTABLISHED TIME to put and end to this world dirtied by filth, caused by the forces of evil that are invading so many men dedicated to alcohol, to drugs, and to other forms of demonic exploitations.” (March 9, 2007; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html</a>). “STEVE JOBS SAYS 'NO PORN' for iPhone and iPad Apps”. Comment: Kudos to Steve Jobs! It's about time someone in his position took a stand against the porn industry. For all the people who don't like his decision, here's a clue: You don't HAVE to have an iPhone. And, honestly, is your pornography addiction so overwhelming that you have to carry that crap around with you? If so, GO GET THERAPY.” (May 17, 2010; <a href="http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=36589">http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=36589</a>). The following websites are very good in describing the horrible fruits and foundation being laid by the promotion of the culture of death, but again, they do not succeed in putting their finger on the root causes of these atrocious fruits, which the leaders of the New World Order have promoted for many years to destroy the morals and families in the U.S. (<a href="http://apathetic-usa.com/">http://apathetic-usa.com/</a>; American Suicide: <a href="http://www.coalitionofindependentcitizens.org/articles/opinion/978-american-suicide">http://www.coalitionofindependentcitizens.org/articles/opinion/978-american-suicide</a>). The culture of death is THE LOSE OF THE SENSE OF GOD and the connection with God; we end up making our own rules which is relativism. The culture of death is the legitimization of abortion, embryonic stem cell research, etc… EUTHANASIA IS MISPLACED COMPASSION! Dostoevsky wrote that when we disconnect human life and morality from the Creator, the Author of Life, all becomes permissible. The members of the Tea Party are irate with Obama, but he is only a puppet of the evil forces who receive their power by promoting sin and diminishing faith, hope and love, especially with those who have the greater spiritual weapons. We are to blame! FATIMA: WAR IS DUE TO SIN, NOT JUST THE HEADS OF STATE. The heads of state, as Obama, are elected by people who have pushed aside God, and now we want to fix the situation with only guns, which are pop guns compared to the power derived from prayer, the Sacraments and living the 10 commandments explained correctly by the official documents of the Catholic Church. The world manipulators, close to Satan, know this better than we do! The vast majority of the conservatives in America do not recognize their real power and their real weapons as well as their principle points of vulnerability. It is amazing that the ones taking us very quickly to a socialistic dictatorship understand and recognize better than the God-loving people the most powerful weapons that they have been able to take away from us as well as our vulnerable points. “For THE SONS OF THIS WORLD ARE WISER in their own generation than the sons of light” (Lk 16:8). Take a look at the history in the last 200 years. What were the main targets they took out before the dictators were able to come to power? If you can DESTROY THE FAMILY, there will be NO VIABLE RESISTANCE LEFT to these ruthless, Godless and shrewd people to render us totally their slaves. “But because of false brethren secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage” (Gal 2:4). Just about all the participants at the tea parties do not realize that the horse is already out of the barn! The families are the FUNDAMENTAL CELLS OF SOCIETY and of our country. A tree that is rotting from within will eventually loose it’s leaves and fall when a strong wind comes. If you heal the interior sickness of the tree, it will not fall. The present rapid meltdown of our economy, the fall of the dollar, like the tree from which THE LEAVES ARE FALLING, is only the outward symptoms of the moral sickness that our enemies have been promoting and fostering in everyway possible within our society and within our country for many years. If we would have resisted these strong allurements offered to us and fed to us by the enemy to give up and to not live our inherited moral values of our forefathers, it would be impossible today for these world planners to destroy our economy as they are doing today. There is no longer the moral fiber and strength in the majority of Americans or citizens of the world, and thus collectively, to resist the Godless designers of the “New World Order”. Due to the diligent preparations of these worldly powerful men in the last several decades, along with the negligence and default of the American people in following the offered carrots, it probably will not be too difficult for Obama to collaborate in bringing down the U.S. so as to render the world ready for a socialistic dictatorship. If the American people begin to wake up too much to the real intentions and goals of Obama and begin to look at his fruits and concrete actions rather than his well prepared words, rhetoric, promises and smiles, the world planners may have to resort to “some large-scale crisis that will make people accept the new world order” (spoken by David Rockefeller in the late 1990s: <a href="http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/08/30/crisis-as-a-way-to-build-a-global-totali">http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/08/30/crisis-as-a-way-to-build-a-global-totali</a>). Before this happens, the American citizens will have to be disarmed. “Ban handguns? Supreme Court taking a new look”; (<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iz6Qns7uUfAAvvLl1R6dY5oGQcOgD9B1S8F80">http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iz6Qns7uUfAAvvLl1R6dY5oGQcOgD9B1S8F80</a>). “Why Obama's Ratings Are Sinking - Americans will put up with a lot. But not with someone who imperils their future”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204683204574354383543314054.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204683204574354383543314054.html</a>). Unfortunately the vast majority of Americans consider only the lose of the pocketbook as something that “imperils their future”; IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE! Having pushed the Creator aside and out of the public square and out of their lives, they do not see the connection anymore between the spiritual and the material, both of which are created by the same Creator. So many fathers of our families today have a beer in one hand and Playboy in the other. So they are not interested in politics, or God, or as Chesterton wrote “eternal vigilance”; they are happy and consumed in their pleasures today. The abandoned mothers, who have tried to be both the mother and the father of her children, have not been able to adequately substitute for the unique God-given essential role of the father of her children. Pride and lack of the willingness to forgive destroys so many marriages. “To forgive takes love; to forget takes humility” – Mother Teresa. “DON’T WORRY; BE HAPPY; NO ONE GOES TO HELL ANYMORE; TOMORROW WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!” We are in the greatest battle in the history of the world and the great majority are happy on the sidelines without getting involved; most do not even want to know about what is going on. There are fewer and fewer today who are willing to train and sweat so as to play on the field. And most of those who try to play on the field do not realize or use their greatest weapons in this great “cosmic struggle”. From a website in Italian one finds the following in regards to MASONRY AND SEXUAL CORRUPTION (<a href="http://cattoliciliberi.forumcommunity.net/?t=25524939">http://cattoliciliberi.forumcommunity.net/?t=25524939</a>): In order to destroy the Church… it is better by way of corruption than by persecution. … A few statements taken from the program of the Masons: 1) “CORRUPT THE YOUTH; lead them away from religion; fix their attention on sex; let them become superficial; destroy their idealism; provoke within every way the collapse of the moral virtues, honesty, purity” (Manual for the communists of Florida). 2) “Our job is to PROMOTE A WAVE OF PORNOGRAPHY and to present it with sympathy as the supreme goal of artistic freedom” (Word of order of the Italian Communist Party). 3) “If we want to destroy a nation, WE MUST FIRST DESTROY IT’S MORALS; then it will fall in our laps as a ripe fruit. Awaken the interest of the youth for sex and it will be yours” (Lenin). 4) “Abrogate all the laws against obscenity. Destroy the sense of morals by diffusing pornography in the books, in the magazines, in the cinema, by way of radio and television. PRESENT THE SEXUAL DEGENERATIONS AS NORMAL, natural, favorable to the psychological and hygienic equilibrium. Destroy the family, favoring free unions and divorce” (Directives given to the communists of the United States). 5) “When man will become a being that crawls, that grunts and jumps on the female, and you will continue only to caress his sex and to UNLEASH THE BEAST that is in him, then the pigsty will become a slaughterhouse. The meat that you offer in your illustrated magazines is all the better to be sold, mocked, tortured, killed and burned” (Jean Cau, French writer). 6) “The first conquest to do is THE CONQUEST OF THE WOMAN; she must be liberated from the chains of the Church and from the law. To knock down Catholicism, it is necessary to begin with the suppression of the dignity of the woman; we must corrupt her together with the Church. Let us spread the practice of nudity: first the arms, then the legs, then all the rest. In the end people will go around naked or almost, without even batting an eye. And, having taken away modesty, the sense of the sacred will be snuffed out, morals will be weakened and the Faith will die from suffocation” (Masonic Plan). 7) “We have associated youth, music, sex, drugs and revolution with betrayal: it is very difficult to go further” (Jerry Rubin, American revolutionary). “In 1917, with other religious, Massimiliano Maria Kolbe founded the “Milizia dell'Immacolata” with the precise goal of spreading in the world devotion to Mary and to combat the enemies of God, above all the Freemasons, using the technological means. … Going over his writings, gathered together by Father Di Monda, one is amazed by the deep knowledge that Kolbe had about the Masonic sect and about its filthy goals. Its vision of a world dominated by a hedonistic mentality – today before our very eyes – can be defined as “prophetic” if one considers that his considerations on the work of corruption taken up by the Freemasonry were in the 20’s. It is also impressive his historic analysis of Protestantism, socialism and communism, which he considered allied in thought and the vanguard troops of the warped army of the infernal serpent. …” (Translated from an Italian article, which also gives a good summary and history of Masonry, which can be further translated with Google: <a href="http://www.centrosangiorgio.com/occultismo/massoneria/articoli/pagine_articoli/kolbe_contro_massoneria.htm">http://www.centrosangiorgio.com/occultismo/massoneria/articoli/pagine_articoli/kolbe_contro_massoneria.htm</a>). Another good article about Masonry in Italian can be found at: <a href="http://www.chiesaviva.com/la%20massoneria.pdf">http://www.chiesaviva.com/la%20massoneria.pdf</a>. “UN Takes Aim at Youth with Conferences in Mexico City and Tunisia” (May 27, 2010; <a href="http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1635/pub_detail.asp">http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1635/pub_detail.asp</a>). See: “KISSINGER: ‘OBAMA PRIMED TO CREATE NEW WORLD ORDER’ – WorldNetDaily - Policy guru says global upheaval presents 'great opportunity'” (Jan. 6, 2009; <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=85442">http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=85442</a>; <a href="http://www.hitbomb.com/kissinger-obama-primed-to-create-new-world-order/">http://www.hitbomb.com/kissinger-obama-primed-to-create-new-world-order/</a>). Of course, when things get real bad, with the help of the mass media and well planned strategies, as well as the blindness caused by personal sin, THE MASTER PLANNERS OF THE DISASTER WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS THE REAL CULPRITS! See: “Morris: Obama a 'Disaster' at the G20 Summit”; “This was so unbelievable. Obama was the one pressing for less regulation and more spending. And he had to convince the Europeans. … This truly creates a global economic system. From now on, don't look to Washington for the rule making, look to Brussels.” (<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512347,00.html">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512347,00.html</a>). With the help of the computer, satellites, cell phone infrastructures, microchips, biotechnology, etc., THE COMING WORLD DICTATORSHIP WILL MAKE ALL OTHER PAST DICTATORSHIPS SEEM LIKE A PICNIC! We are truly “like overripe fruit” as Khrushchev predicted over 50 years ago. “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen” (Rom 1:24-25). Even the so-called CATHOLIC SPOKESMEN for the Tea Parties, who should know better, ARE SILENT ABOUT THE REAL CAUSES of the meltdown and the destruction of our country and of our society as a whole. Upon his farewell address to the nation, GEORGE WASHINGTON tried to impress upon his fellow countrymen that it was “Religion and Morality” that served as the foundation for our young nation. Without the foundation of Religion and Morality that George Washington and the other founding fathers provided for us, there is simply no real hope for the future of this country. One blogger responded to me by saying: “But the Tea Parties are addressing a specific agenda - the out of control spending and power of the Federal Government. We cannot co-opt this movement with these other issues. … That is what we need to do - NOT SADDLE THE TEA PARTIES WITH EVERY SOCIAL ILL IN THE WORLD.” I responded to him: “You say to “not saddle the Tea Parties with every social ill in the world”!!! If most conservatives agree with you, then we will be condemned to not dust off and use our heavy artillery, and to continue to put Band-Aids on the dying body until it is dead.” Gianna Jessen, the SURVIVOR OF A SALINE ABORTION had the courage to bear witness to Christ in the very halls of government, rebuking legislators in His name. As she declared fearlessly to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution on July 20, 2000: "Today we are nothing but cowards in America. We can’t even say the truth because we are so afraid of what our colleagues will think." (See her testimony <a href="http://www.shininglamp.com/page2.html">http://www.shininglamp.com/page2.html</a>)! “Obama campaign attacks political ad featuring abortion survivor Gianna Jessen”; (<a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=13858">http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=13858</a>). “<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/nick-vujicic-born-without_n_575477.html">Nick Vujicic, Born Without Arms Or Legs, Shares Inspirational Story With Millions</a>” (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/nick-vujicic-born-without_n_575477.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/nick-vujicic-born-without_n_575477.html</a>). 27. The Consequences of Individual Failure! The Church was given to the world by God to hold it in being. To the degree that we Catholics are faithful to our mission in the Church we lift the world up. To the degree that we are lax or unfaithful, the world begins to sink into hell under the weight of its own iniquity, which is what we are seeing right now. COMPLACENCY IS THE KISS OF DEATH. Failure in personal holiness has catastrophic consequences not just for the individual soul, but for their family, their community, their country, and the whole world. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. It's happening right now! WE ARE ALL RELATED. St. Peter Damian, a great doctor of the Church said: “Wherever one of us is, there the entire mystical Body of Christ is made present through the inviolable mystery of unity.” You can say this about humanity in a certain sense, when one person lives outside of grace, basically the living dead. Our country and our world is now filled with morally dead people. The consequences of this are catastrophic! In this country and in the western world we esteem money and wealth. It is kind of POETIC JUSTICE that we are being brought to our economic knees because the great majority of Americans have basically rejected Gospel principles. The money in America says, 'In GOD we trust'. Do we really trust God? There is a terrible price to be paid when Gospel values are not lived one person at a time. While in their own minds Americans consider themselves to be a generous people, in reality they are proving to be anything but. (<a href="http://www.therationalradical.com/dsep/1101/america-generous.htm">http://www.therationalradical.com/dsep/1101/america-generous.htm</a>). The rich countries of the world have consistently gone to the poor countries in the southern hemisphere, taken their natural resources and then left these poor countries with a debt to pay. More than 80% of the wealth of the world is in the hands of less than 20% of the people of the world. Politicians of the rich countries seek to make richer their citizens at the expense of the poor countries in order to be reelected. Remember “Three Days of the Condor (1975) with Robert Redford? Do we try to do our small part in overcoming this big greed game of “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer” by supporting “Distance Adoption” or “Aid to the Church in Need” or …? Most people do not want to know or discover the fact that all we have comes from God and that we are stewards of the goods we have; at the end of our life we will all have to render an account (Mt 25). All we have is from God. As we Catholics hear on “Ash Wednesday”, “Remember, you are dust and to dust you shall return!” The great majority of Catholics around the world do not even have one hour a week to thank God, for all that we have received, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, after a good sincere confession. If God is at such a low priority in our lives as not to have even an hour for Him once a week, can we really pretend or convince ourselves that “we all go to heaven”? Or have we arrived even to the point of conveniently convincing ourselves that heaven does not exist and that the seventy or so times that Jesus refers to hell in the four Gospels is ridiculous and we intelligent, wise people know more than Jesus?!? “US economic power 'is declining'”; (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8289302.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8289302.stm</a>). “Plenty More Bank Losses Expected Globally”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125427067994651171.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125427067994651171.html</a>). “Chaos erupts at Cobo as thousands jockey for aid”; (<a href="http://detnews.com/article/20091008/METRO01/910080431/Chaos-erupts-at-Cobo-as-thousands-jockey-for-aid">http://detnews.com/article/20091008/METRO01/910080431/Chaos-erupts-at-Cobo-as-thousands-jockey-for-aid</a>). “It Will Be Years Before Lost Jobs Return -- and Many Never Will”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125470053662262957.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125470053662262957.html</a>). “"In one year, 24 million slide from 'thriving' to 'struggling'”; (<a href="http://mercatoliberonews.blogspot.com/2009_09_06_archive.html">http://mercatoliberonews.blogspot.com/2009_09_06_archive.html</a>). “24 million go from 'thriving' to 'struggling'”; (<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2009-03-09-americandream_N.htm">http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2009-03-09-americandream_N.htm</a>). “Newly homeless occupy Sacramento's tent city - The Detroit News”; (<a href="http://www.stoptherecession.com/content/newly-homeless-occupy-sacramentos-tent-city-detroit-news">http://www.stoptherecession.com/content/newly-homeless-occupy-sacramentos-tent-city-detroit-news</a>). “No Sale: Bank Wrecks New Houses”; (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124148169574985359.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124148169574985359.html</a>). America, as a democracy, is as good as its people. As a nation, we are TURNING OUR BACKS ON GOD. We will receive what we deserve. Over seventy years ago in the young Communist nation of Russia, its new hope, during a financial crisis, Mr. Lenin was quoted as saying “we must patiently advance along the ‘roads to power’ until power falls like a ripe fruit.” The Russian people were not afraid of Stalin before the election. IF A BUCK PRIVATE IN A WAR does not live up to his responsibilities, there will not be too much damage. BUT IF A GENERAL does not live up to his responsibilities it will cause considerable damage. So too those who have received more in this spiritual battle (as instruments of God) in this “cosmic struggle” as Pope John Paul II puts it, will cause considerable damage if they do not live up to and fulfill their GOD GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY. “Why Are We Traditional Catholics? (One Mother’s Open Letter to Her Grown Children) (<a href="http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/2010-0215-bagnoli-letter-to-grown-children.htm">http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/2010-0215-bagnoli-letter-to-grown-children.htm</a>). GOD SPEAKS TO US IN SILENCE; those who succeed in diminishing the external and internal noises (sin) begin to be able to tune into the frequency of the subtle whisperings of the Holy Spirit. The revelations to the shepherds, who found baby Jesus 2000 years ago, did not make the Jerusalem Gazette; no reporter came to interview Mary, the Mother of God. In the ultimate end, each of us, according to the choices we make, whether we like it or not (or WHETHER WE BELIEVE IT OR NOT!), will end up spending eternity with a benevolent dictator, God, or a tyrannical, cruel dictator, Satan. There is no other place to which to flee after death, unless these little gods are capable of creating a paradise with the great powers they believe they have! Due to our great dignity of being created in the image of God, there will be only two places for all eternity; either in extreme unimaginable happiness and bliss, or in inconceivable pain and the separation of the creature from it’s Creator. One cannot commit suicide after death because God never goes back on His word and ordinances; He created us in His image with an immortal soul (Gen 1:26-27). Purgatory is a temporary place of purification so as to be able to enter heaven in a perfect state; nothing imperfect can enter heaven where there dwells the perfect God! 28. “You Are Of Your Father” Here on earth, Satan almost always disguises himself as an angel of light (2Cor 11:14). Satan does all he can to convince people that the devil and hell do not exist so then people are not motivated to strive constantly to live according to the norms of the Gospel or of the ten Commandments or according to any other guide that stunts their “good” way and veiled egotistical style of living. Those in the state of grace, who truly follow and live God’s commandments and Gospel, will be able to RECOGNIZE THIS DECEPTION. For those who do not "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2Thess 2:11-12). “The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders” (2Thess 2:9). This is why the ever more numerous people, who are not in the state of grace, follow people who are charismatic, use BEAUTIFUL AND ATTRACTIVE RHETORIC AND SLOGANS; they are not able to see what is under this glossy venire sustained by a very powerful propaganda from the mass media. These numerous deluded people no longer want to make the effort to discover the facts or to study how each candidate has voted in the past either along the lines of the Gospel and for the culture of life, or instead has voted consistently against the Gospel and for the culture of death. So many today do not try to discover the real fruits of these clever leaders and politicians or even to study their backgrounds. “And none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand” (Dan 12:10). “Change, we need!” What kind of change?!? Will these “enlightened” politicians let us “CHANGE” the regime of “Roe v. Wade”??? They use nice slogans like “The Common Good”, “Social Justice”, “Women’s reproductive rights!” which is one of their code words for contraception, etc. But words are cheap! WHAT ARE THEIR DEEDS? What are their fruits? How does the voting record of our politicians square with true Christian values? “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if HIS SERVANTS ALSO DISGUISE THEMSELVES AS SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Their end will correspond to their deeds” (2Cor 11:14-15)! “Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing…” (Mt 24:11,24; Mk 13:22).

FOR PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL, IT IS DIFFICULT, OR AT LEAST BOTHERSOME TO SAY A LIE WITH A BIG SMILE AND THEN DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. But for those who have freely and continually rejected the graces and inspirations of their Creator and even given their soul to Satan, it is very easy and especially convenient and expedient for them to speak beautiful lies to others and do exactly the opposite as it serves their hidden agenda; in this behavior they have no scruples whatsoever! Many people of good will, believing that others are like themselves, believe such liars just as they would believe a person of good will and thus presume they are sincere, giving them the benefit of the doubt. But the real truth is that by now most Americans and people of the world have slid away from the truth stamped in their hearts by the Creator and revealed in many other ways, and have lived this lie for many years in their own personal lives. Thus they easily buy into the lies of these world manipulators and do not see the deception nor where these deceivers are leading the people of the US and the rest of the world. Adolf Hitler said: “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed!” If hearts are not changed, it is useless to change the evil laws; these laws will only take on another evil form until hearts are changed toward love of God and neighbor. Wiki Answers responds to the question: WHY IS THE DEVIL CALLED THE FATHER OF LIES? Because he functions on deception. He has to deceive people from the Truth in order to get them on his side. The devil is an angel that turned from God. Jesus came into the world to shine a light in the darkness and expose the devil for what he is - a liar. All lies come from the devil. (<a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_the_devil_called_the_father_of_lies">http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_the_devil_called_the_father_of_lies</a>). “YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).

I am so sad that so many are no longer right with God (not in the state of grace) and thus so easily believe such people with beautiful words, rhetoric, smiles, enthusiasm, promises, without looking at the fruits as Jesus told us to do (Mt 7:15-20)! As a people, a nation, we deserve what we get and what we will get in the future! THOSE OF GOOD WILL, WILL HAVE TO SUFFER with those who are not sincere and not of good will, just as Christ, the GOOD and TRUE ONE, suffered and died for all of us sinners! “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church…” (Col 1:24). The Catholic Church is perhaps the only guide to help us understand the value of suffering as well as to show us how to suffer. Sorry dear evangelical brothers in Christ, there will not be a “rapture” to save us from the crucifixion of “his body, that is, the church”! "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church" (Tertullian; “Apologeticus”, Chapter 50). We look in every place but the right place. The right place to look is at the intersection of the beams of the cross. We will find no real wisdom unless we look at the cross. On the cross we find the answer. If you look any place else you are wasting your time. Love is the cross and the cross is love. Jesus gives the biggest share of His cross to His best friends. Read the lives of the Saints. Oh, the joy, to suffer in Jesus. Without a cross, there is no authentic Christianity. There is no Resurrection without the Crucifixion; there is no Easter without Good Friday! This applies not only for Jesus, but for all of His true follower. In the history of the Church, the saints considered suffering and martyrdom one of the greatest gifts that Jesus could share with His beloved followers! The saints were in love with THEIR BELOVED; they wanted to be like Him – CRUCIFIED! “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil 1:21)! Doing the will of God not only includes loving each person before us in each present moment, believing that Jesus hides behind each person (especially in “the least of these my brethren” – Mt 25:40), but also this following of Jesus inevitably entails recognizing, embracing and loving Christ Crucified in our daily sufferings and sorrows! NO PAIN, NO GAIN! NO CROSS, NO CROWN! “God does not punish, if anything he permits these trials and adversities, so that the soul might be able to atone for the committed faults, knowing how to accept them and offer them in expiation. THAT WHICH OF EVIL HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN, IS ALWAYS A CONSEQUENCE OF SIN.” (January 5, 2006; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html</a>). 29. Honorary Doctorate at Notre Dame? After NOTRE DAME'S PRESIDENT, the Rev. John I. Jenkins, quoted words from Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI as well as the Second Vatican Council, he repeated that: “President Obama has come to Notre Dame, though he knows well that we are fully supportive of Church teaching on the sanctity of human life, and we oppose his policies on abortion and embryonic stem cell research” (<a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/05/rev_jenkinss_re.html">http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/05/rev_jenkinss_re.html</a>). But, in only a few months, Obama has changed all the major laws protecting unborn babies and then Notre Dame bestows on Obama an honorary doctorate degree!?! ACTIONS SPEAK MUCH LOUDER THAN RHETORICAL WORDS! Should we fear someone who has a masters in religious education, but is blind and is leading the blind? We don't need a priest (heretic) to help us along on the road to hell. Education should lead one into a deeper study of truth. You can educate yourself into imbecility if you do not have true humility. As for Notre Dame University, it is so tragic that SO-CALLED friends of unborn babies would give Mr. Obama such a visible platform to promote his deadly agenda. “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ” (2Cor 11:13). Notre Dame denied the U.S. Catholic bishops guidelines of 2004 which stated to not honor people who are prominent opponents of fundamental Catholic positions on fundamental issues. This honor given by Notre Dame cannot be separated from the validation of putting into operation a very pro-abortion agenda, the most pro-abortion record and the most pro-abortion set of campaign promises that any U.S. presidential candidate has ever made. Obama sounded all the right notes of willingness to enter into dialogue, but we must look at what the actions have been, what the announced policies have been. What did this moment provide for Obama, and what will be the long term impact of Obama speaking with almost a Catholic imprimatur now upon his policies and upon his words? It was a very polished commencement speech and it was certainly well calculated to further, what was the political purpose, which was to bind that proportion of the Catholic vote to this set of political goals. But it is even more troublesome what the affect that Notre Dame did on the state of catechesis of American Catholics generally. There is developing the view that has no support in the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. There is developing a view that there are two approaches to the life/social justice issues. One is the “reasonable balanced” approach that there are many issues: just war, capital punishment, abortion, euthanasia, stem cell research, ... and that they can be balanced off against one another. The other view is the one expressed clearly by the Church in the documents of the Second Vatican Council and in the writings of Pope Benedict. Cardinal Ratzinger's statement "Worthiness to Receive Communion: General Principles": "Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. For example, if a Catholic were to be at odds with the Holy Father on the application of capital punishment or on the decision to wage war, he would not for that reason be considered unworthy to present himself to receive Holy Communion. While the Church exhorts civil authorities to seek peace, not war, and to exercise discretion and mercy in imposing punishment on criminals, it may still be permissible to take up arms to repel an aggressor or to have recourse to capital punishment. There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia. <a href="http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/blog/2005/05/fr-michael-orsi-on-different-levels-of.html">http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/blog/2005/05/fr-michael-orsi-on-different-levels-of.html</a> See the story of MARY ANN GLENDON, the anti-abortion academic who said NO to a Notre Dame speaking engagement and the prestigious ‘Laetare Medal’ award in a pointed letter to Father Jenkins. Among many other arguments, she writes: “In some quarters my Catholic Church in America has begun to look like a club in recent years. Many worshipers attend Catholic churches for the parties, safe schools and sense of community. That is all fine if the main goal is realized, but some parishioners have only a vague sense of moral clarity while many local priests advocate dubious Catholic teachings in their presence. Many of my fellow worshipers appear to be CONVENIENCE CATHOLICS, left rudderless by local priests with dubious social agendas....” (<a href="http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=3818">http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=3818</a>) WE MUST SEEK THE TRUTH, NOT AGENDAS! BISHOP OLMSTED ACCUSES PRESIDENT JENKINS OF DISOBEDIENCE: Dear Fr. Jenkins, I am saddened and heavy of heart about your decision to invite President Obama to speak at Notre Dame University and even receive an honorary degree. It is a public act of disobedience to the Bishops of the United States. Our USCCB June 2004 Statement "Catholics in Political Life" states: "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." No one could not know of the public stands and actions of the president on key issues opposed to the most vulnerable human beings. John Paul II said, "Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights -- for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture -- is false and illusory if THE RIGHT TO LIFE, THE MOST BASIC AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT AND CONDITION FOR ALL OTHER PERSONAL RIGHTS, is not defended with the maximum determination." I pray that you come to see the grave mistake of your decision, and the way that it undercuts the Church's proclamation of the Gospel of Life in our day. Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead; Diocese of Phoenix (<a href="http://insidecatholic.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5685&Itemid=80">http://insidecatholic.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5685&Itemid=80</a>) President Barack Obama used his commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame on Sunday to call for conscience rights for physicians on abortion. However, his administration has already proposed overturning a measure President Bush put in place to uphold these CONSCIENCE LAWS. (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5057.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5057.html</a>). Even congressmen challenged President Obama on his Abortion-Conscience Clause Promise at Notre Dame (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5068.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5068.html</a>)! At the Notre Dame speech, Obama said we need to find and come up with a sensible conscience clause. The question is, and this is the problem with Obama, what does that mean “a sensible conscience”? Does that mean that one who does not fully respect the conscience of those the clause is intended to protect? Some of the proposals would give some conscience protection EXCEPT in cases where no other health care worker is available to perform the service of abortion. So that is not that different from having no conscience clause at all. But, in listening to Obama's speech, bioethics attorney Wesley J. Smith was struck by Obama's esurient desire to be seen as moderate on abortion yet taking hypocritical actions. "I WAS REMINDED OF HOW ADEPT OBAMA IS IN SAYING ONE THING WHILE DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE; such as claiming in his speech to support a conscience clause for health professionals on the issue of abortion," he said. "Obama--or at least his administration (is there a difference?) <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat4893.html">plans to revoke the Bush conscience clause</a>, not revise it (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat4893.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat4893.html</a>). That is hardly honoring heterodox thinkers' consciences," Smith added. Smith says Obama has had the opportunity "to steer a moderate course ... and he rejected the moderate course." "Which brings to mind another trite old saying; TALK IS CHEAP," Smith concluded. (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5057.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5057.html</a>) THE ATTACK IS ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND ON CONSCIENCE RIGHTS. No dictatorship has ever allowed religious liberty or conscience rights. The culture of death dream team took over in the White House in January 2009. They are forcing the contraceptive agenda, abortion, even overseas; it is unreal how quickly these things are taking place. It is galvanizing! “THE U.S. IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE SPREAD OF HIV/AIDS AMONG AFRICAN WOMEN by its reckless distribution of hormonal contraceptives of all kinds in so-called “reproductive health” programs. This is in addition to pornographic sex education and the massive distribution of condoms—both of which encourage risky sexual behaviors. Population control, anyone?” by Steven W. Mosher (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=320247047930&topic=16418">http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=320247047930&topic=16418</a>). THERE IS NOW A FIRESTORM AT BELMONT ABBEY COLLEGE where the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled Belmont Abbey College must include coverage for contraception (which often functions as abortifacients) in its employee health insurance plan. (<a href="http://catholicfire.blogspot.com/2009/08/judie-brown-support-belmont-abbey.html">http://catholicfire.blogspot.com/2009/08/judie-brown-support-belmont-abbey.html</a>). While the ruling of the EOC accuses Belmont Abbey College of discriminating, it is precisely the opposite. The college is not discriminating against anybody. The college is not telling others what they have to do or how they must live their life. Why is the federal government coming into the home of the college and saying that the college has to live in a certain way? They are saying that the college must subsidize things that are against the beliefs and conscience of the college. It is discriminating against people of religious belief and faith. Relativism claims tolerance and love but in reality these champions of relativism are totally intolerant when it comes to allowing others to live out their beliefs. It comes down to might, to force. UNLESS EVERYONE HAS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, NO ONE HAS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! This is a time that all Christians have to be galvanized, to come together, to be unified. We cannot sit on the sidelines anymore!

Cardinal Daniel DiNardo recently said that Catholics who lobbied for the health care reform law—ignoring the Bishops' warnings about abortion funding and weak conscience protections—had caused "confusion and a wound to Catholic unity." And to make matters worse, among those working against the Church on pro-life health care were educators at our Catholic colleges. And then there is this: President Obama's latest addition to the powerful Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a same-sex marriage advocate whose concept of "sexual liberty" would trump our religious liberty.

Perhaps in an effort (pretext?) to rehabilitate the United States’ image in the Muslim world, the Obama administration has joined a U.N. effort to restrict religious speech. This country should never sacrifice freedom of expression on the altar of religion. Around the world, free speech is being sacrificed on the altar of religion. Whether defined as hate speech, discrimination or simple blasphemy, governments are declaring unlimited free speech as the enemy of “freedom of religion”. How ironic! One might ask what religion? Certainly not the religion of Jesus Christ! This growing movement has reached the United Nations, where religiously conservative countries received a boost in their campaign to pass an international blasphemy law. It came from the most unlikely of places: the United States.

Washington – A letter from the chairmen of three committees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated the bishops’ opposition to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act because of the bill’s potential to “JEOPARDIZE OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM TO LIVE OUR FAITH AND MORAL TENETS IN TODAY’S SOCIETY.” (<a href="http://www.catholicreview.org/subpages/storyworldnew-new.aspx?action=8215">http://www.catholicreview.org/subpages/storyworldnew-new.aspx?action=8215</a>). Our highly controlled mass media must eliminate the opposition to their atheistic world view: “<a title="Permalink" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/exposing-glenn-beck-as-a_b_537491.html">Exposing Glenn Beck as a Dangerous Fraud, Part 2</a>” (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/exposing-glenn-beck-as-a_b_537491.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/exposing-glenn-beck-as-a_b_537491.html</a>). “Court rules crucifixes in Italy violate freedoms”; (<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-11-03-Vatican_N.htm">http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-11-03-Vatican_N.htm</a>). It is too bad, and very tragic, that the majority of Americans vote for and follow CHEAP TALK! St. John warns us: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1Jn 4:1). Why do voters today throughout the world vote for the pretty faces, nice words and rhetoric and charismatic speeches instead of taking the time to see if a candidate has voted in the past in favor of the principles of the Gospel and for the culture of life, or against the principles of the Gospel and for the culture of death? OBAMA LEAVES THE PEOPLE WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT HE AGREES WITH THEM. As always, at Notre Dame, he was very friendly, and conciliatory. But we have not seen any indication whatsoever of ceding of ground on the life issues. After “Obama's slump” (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/8235039.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/8235039.stm</a>), the world controllers have tried to bolster his popularity by awarding him the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. Obama’s only achievement at the time he was nominated was exporting taxpayer-funded abortions. Obama hadn't accomplished much else in office when the nominations were finalized. (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1345.html">http://www.lifenews.com/int1345.html</a>; “President Barack Obama and the late Mother Teresa have something in common” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1344.html">http://www.lifenews.com/int1344.html</a>). “Majority of Americans Disagree With Nobel Prize for Pro-Abortion Barack Obama” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5582.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5582.html</a>). “If Obama can get one, you can, too”; (<a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20091011/COL01/910110484/">http://www.freep.com/article/20091011/COL01/910110484//</a>). IN CAIRO, OBAMA QUOTED THE KORAN FIVE TIMES INCLUDING: “Whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he killed all of mankind.” NICE WORDS! But the unwanted unborn babies?!? This same logic of Roe v. Wade has been used to justify laws of assisted suicide; is this not the same slippery slope of using terminology to deprive value and human existence to those who are unable to defend themselves? Should not our government policy be used primarily to protect those who are defenseless and vulnerable instead of putting them more at risk? Is life not the most fundamental right and value to be protected by any government? MANY TODAY DO NOT REALIZE THAT ABORTION IS MURDER. This is partly because of the teaching strength and value of the law. People say, well, the law is neither here nor there; it is just allowing a procedure that women should have access to. The law has taught our culture that unborn human life is not valuable since it is not in the category of murder according to the law. So people think, well if President Obama thinks this way, that’s fine; I think differently but we are both fine. But what is true then? There is no God-given truth according to most people today, and therefore no sin. If I feel good, that means I am a good person at the end of the day. PRIESTS AND BISHOPS HAVE TO SPEAK OUT FROM THE PULPITS. Some do so, but so many just do not want to cause a controversy. They want to talk about love on Sunday. Everybody loves; God loves you; we are loving, etc. But where is the love if you are going to tolerate the killing of unborn children, or tolerate other sins such as active euthanasia deriving from the contraceptive mentality and the contraceptive culture that surrounds us today? It was discovered in a study that if the father of the family attends church regularly, with or without his wife, about 75% of the children continue this practice later. If the mother attends church regularly without her husband, less than 40% of the children continue this practice later. If both the father and the mother attend church regularly, about 80% of the children follow. GOD HAD GIVEN EACH THEIR BUILT-IN ROLES. A priest has been given the grace to be both the father and the mother of his parishioners; if he only does the mother part, the fruits will be greatly diminished. People have been led to say, well you know, you can be Catholic, there are different versions of Catholic. BUT THERE IS WHAT THE CHURCH TEACHES. One can stay in the Church or leave it. That is each one’s choice. But we cannot remake the whole thing because we are uncomfortable with one or two teachings. Don't mess with a strong mans bride. (The Church, the bride of Christ). The pro-abortionist campaign, along with Obama, have made an EXTREMELY SUBTLE SHIFT from saying they want to “reduce the number of abortions” to “reducing the number of women in need of abortion”. After all, they do not want to admit that abortion is an evil! In this way they take the onus off the practice itself. They claim the solution is to promote contraception as we see in the stimulus bills and other recent bills. It is incredible that there has been no study done yet to show that the promotion of contraception brings down unplanned pregnancy rates or abortions anywhere this policy has been tried such as in Scotland, Sweden, UK, Africa, California. The promotion of contraception encourages people to adopt more risky behaviors and live more risky life styles causing the abortion rate to go up as well as the skyrocketing of sexually transmitted diseases among teens. WHAT REALLY WORKS are laws that involve parental involvement and consent; funding bans against publicly funded abortions through the Medicaid program; informed consent; having waiting periods where women can actually, once they have made that appointment for an abortion, to be able to consider: “maybe this is not the right thing for me” and then reaching out for more help. All of these laws have had a measurable impact on bringing down abortions. ALL OF THESE PROVEN MEANS HAVE BEEN UNDERMINED AND CONSISTENTLY REJECTED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. Obama shrewdly realizes that it is better not to seek straight out to fulfill his campaign promise to Planned Parenthood: "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the "Freedom of Choice Act"!” So he will do it slowly and incrementally, “by stealth”, so as not to cause a reaction. If you throw a frog into boiling water, it immediately reacts and jumps out. If you put the FROG IN COLD WATER AND SLOWLY HEAT IT UP, the frog does not jump out and ends up cooked! WE ARE COOKED! “After America, There is No Place to Go. I don't believe I am the only one to see frightening similarities. America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away.” By Kitty Werthmann: “What I am about to tell you is something you've probably never heard or will ever read in history books. I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I CANNOT TELL YOU THAT HITLER TOOK AUSTRIA BY TANKS AND GUNS; IT WOULD DISTORT HISTORY. We elected him by a landslide 98% of the vote. I've never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force. …” (<a href="http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/after-america-there-is-no-place-to-go/blog-254691/">http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/after-america-there-is-no-place-to-go/blog-254691/</a>). Beware also of <a href="http://www.aul.org/FOCA_by_stealth" target="_blank">FOCA-By-Stealth.</a> Abortion advocates are counting on the economy and other pressing issues to divert the attention of the American people so they can surreptitiously and with little resistance advance their radical pro-abortion agenda.

Amidst all of the American flags and presidential seals, there was something missing when President Barack Obama gave an economic speech at GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY this week -- JESUS. A DECISION TO COVER UP A SYMBOL OF JESUS for the president's speech at Georgetown is upsetting many. The Catholic University spokesman Victor Nakas, who felt a bit more strongly on the subject said: "I can’t imagine, as the bishops’ university and the national university of the Catholic Church, that we would ever cover up our religious art or signage for any reason... Our Catholic faith is integral to our identity as an institution of higher education." (<a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Jesus-Missing-From-Obamas-Georgetown-Speech.html">http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Jesus-Missing-From-Obamas-Georgetown-Speech.html</a>). What type of a person, or creature, would want to cover up a symbol of Jesus? “Obama Bans National Day Of Prayer, But Applauds Islam Ramadan”; <a href="http://www.postchronicle.com/religion/article_212254613.shtml">http://www.postchronicle.com/religion/article_212254613.shtml</a>. “Old days are here again (Russia) - It’s not like the communist era, but Russia and its former satellites are restricting religious practice again” (<a href="http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16673">http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16673</a>). <a name="TOP">“Did Rick Mathes Condemn Islam?</a> - I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight.

Obama visits the Pope; Billy Graham, Notre Dame; Georgetown… Is this not how Satan works to draw those not yet in his fold with him while portraying himself as an “angel of light”! Watch out for false gods! 1Jn 5:21 30. A Deaf Ear to the Success of Adult Stem Cell Research! At Notre Dame, Obama said the following: “Those who speak out against stem cell research may be rooted in admirable conviction about the sacredness of life, but so are the parents of a child with juvenile diabetes who are convinced that their son's or daughter's hardships can be relieved.” It is amazing that people did not gasp at Obama’s lack of knowledge in regards to juvenile diabetes which has been successfully treated with adult stem cell research, along with spinal cord injuries, repairing limbs, and so many other human ailments. PEOPLE FAIL TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN EMBRYONIC AND ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH. One is killing human life, and the other is not killing human life! The Catholic Church is not against science or research, but it has to be moral. “THE CULTURE OF LIFE MEANS RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE FROM CONCEPTION UNTIL ITS NATURAL END.” – Pope John Paul II. Imagine the protest there would be regarding a litter of puppies, if a person decided to distribute some to a friend, keep four, and donate the rest for research! I am grateful to God to be alive! At one time I too was an embryo and a fetus! Scientists come with all kinds of excuses for killing human life. “<a href="http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-05/stem-cells-grow-differently-low-gravity-study-says">Stem Cells Behave Very Differently In Space, Study Says</a>”. In the article they only tell you: “Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any of the body's hundreds of cell types.” (<a href="http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-05/stem-cells-grow-differently-low-gravity-study-says">http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-05/stem-cells-grow-differently-low-gravity-study-says</a>). But the vast majority of so-called scientists do not tell us that EMBRYOS HAVE A STRONG TENDENCY TO FORM TUMORS and cancers because they are so uncontrollable. But even if embryos had all sorts of promise for cures, we cannot go there; we cannot have the ends justify the means, that destroying human life, killing human life to hopefully save a dear person who is strong enough to defend himself. This is absolutely not permissible. With the Obama administration, there is a BACKTRACKING IN ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH as shown in Obama’s executive order, even in the promising area of reprogramming research with adult stem cell research. Does not Obama claim that his administration will live or fall on science? Well, science has spoken with flexible pluripotent adult stem cells, but there is this willful blind spot to not admit science into the concrete policies in this area. “Obama Administration OKs First Taxpayer-Funded Embryonic Stem Cell Research”; (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio3015.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio3015.html</a>). “Scientists: Embryonic Stem Cell Research Showing Little Progress 28 Years Later” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio3026.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio3026.html</a>). “Obama Admin Urged to Not Expand Embryonic Stem Cell Research Further” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio3075.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio3075.html</a>). 31. The Health Care Bill We certainly need health care reform. But real health care respects life! The new HEALTH CARE BILL mandates abortion and contraceptives on demand, paid by the tax payers, of course, in an economic crisis, as well as coercing every existing health care plan in America to include abortion and contraceptives. It encourages in many ways the elderly to not seek any specially treatment to prolong their lives, even those treatments considered to be ordinary means by the Catholic Church. The bill encourages the elder to check into Hospice and die to give the money to their children. The end of life costs will lead the government to deny many people treatment. This is the biggest federal grab that we have ever seen; this is socialized medicine. There will be huge categories of diseases and disabilities that will get inadequate amounts of money to do what can be done. The bill will stifle innovation in the area of breakthroughs that mitigate pain and improve the quality of life as well as the actual life expectancy. In the Health Care reform legislation, we are told by the National Right to Life Committee that as currently drafted (August 2009), this legislation would result in the greatest expansion of abortion since the Supreme Court handed down it “Roe v. Wade” decision in 1973. Other experts say that the bill will mandate tax-payer funded abortions and abortion coverage in virtually all health care plans. And now we are also being warned that this legislation may even start us down the path for government encouraged euthanasia. Clearly, a health care system that is designed to save lives, on the one hand, must not become a vehicle for taking lives through abortion and euthanasia. HEALTH CARE REFORM LEGISLATION MUST BE ABORTION FREE. The solution is clear: simply add a provision to the five or six hundred pages of this legislation, that clearly excludes abortion and euthanasia from the bill. That is what we should urge congress to do. “Montana Supreme Court Makes State Third to Allow Unlimited Assisted Suicide” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio3027.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio3027.html</a>). This is a long standing problem that we have had. Francis Crick and James Watson, the Nobel Prize winners for unraveling the DNA, in Prism magazine, years ago, recommended a demise pill; when people become 80, they take the demise pill and they die. We see in places like Switzerland where the “Dignity” organization routinely euthanizes people. We see in Holland where juvenile euthanasia is now permitted so young children are being killed. It is anything but mercy killing; it is active euthanasia. You lessen the pool by killing people as they enter life and you winnow the expenses by shoving grandma and grandpa down into the death chute. Pregnancy will be put into the category of diseases and thus denied help. There are those who will deny payment for those unborn children who have handicaps which can be mitigated. Peter Singer, James Watson and many others want to wait for many days or even years to define personhood so as to discover defects and then kill the human beings. So many are encouraged to abort their child because they could possible have a genetic defect. But so many times it is not true. But even if the child does have a defect, it is still precious in the eyes of God! There is such a utilitarian value being put on life. HAVE WE MADE OURSELVES GOD, the AUTHOR OF LIFE?!? Are we playing GOD? “I will decide when life begins and when life ends!” Are we going toward living the Gospel of altruism and self sacrifice for others as Christ crucified lived and died for each of us, or are we going toward the “Culture of Death”, of egoism and self indulgence at the expense (death!) of others, especially the weakest and unwanted who cannot defend themselves? Whether we believe it or like it or not, an infinitely Just God does exist, as well as heaven and hell for all eternity! “Study Finds Patients Thought to be in "Vegetative State" Have Active Brain Activity” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio3046.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio3046.html</a>). Money becomes more important than the human person. The bill stipulates that a committee will be formed, all Obama appointees, who will decide what the essential benefits are after the bill is passed; EVERYTHING CAN BE CHANGED AFTER THE BILL IS PASSED! Of course, abortion and contraceptives will be a core benefit at a time when fewer women are procuring abortions. Eighty seven percent of the counties in America do not have an abortionist plying their ugly trade against mothers and young women. The coercive power of the state will enforce more abortion clinics. Planned Parenthood, which already performs more than 300,000 abortions each year in the US, will become the go-to-people endorsed by the bill. Many are being bullied into voting for this bill. The slightest use of ambiguous words, or even a comma that is missing, will allow pro abortionists to REINTERPRET THE BILL AS THEY LIKE, AFTER IT IS PASSED, as they so often did during the Clinton administration. In the UK and so many other countries, when the bureaucrats came into the health care equation, the outcomes were dramatically worse. Other people, who are not relatives or friends, will make these decisions for you. Many diseased will get inadequate amounts of money and innovation will be stifled. The liberal use the excuse of helping the poor, but it is really a front for other motives, just like Judas Iscariot who did not want to waste expensive oil on the feet of Jesus (Jn 12:3). “Planned Parenthood Centers Using Dangerous Abortion Drug More, Survey Shows” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat6136.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat6136.html</a>). “Researchers Asked to Hide Scientific Debate over Maternal Deaths” by <a href="http://www.c-fam.org/about_us/id.2/author_detail.asp">Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D. </a> (June 3, 2010). (NEW YORK – C-FAM) At a meeting on maternal and child health research in Washington last week, United Nations (UN) staff and abortion advocates told scientists they should “harmonize” their findings or discuss them “in a locked room” so that the press could not report maternal death numbers that conflicted with the ones they use to lobby policy makers and major international donors. (<a href="http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1641/pub_detail.asp">http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1641/pub_detail.asp</a>). Bobby Schindler, the brother of TERRI SCHIAVO, knows a thing or two about health care rationing. Forced to sit idly by as his sister's estranged husband deprived her of food and water for a period of 13 days before she died, Schindler is concerned the government-run health bills in Congress will foster rationing (“Terri Schiavo's Brother Concerned by Rationing in Congressional Health Care Bills”; <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/bio2907.html">http://www.lifenews.com/bio2907.html</a>). “What the universal healthcare advocates don't want you to know”; <a href="http://www.curezone.org/forums/fmp.asp?i=1465398">http://www.curezone.org/forums/fmp.asp?i=1465398</a>. “What's Really in Obama's Health Care Reform Bill - A Plain English Translation” … “Below, we reprint what he found in the health care reform bill.

As so many other bills under the Obama administration, this bill will undermine even further subsidiarity and BRING ALL THE POWER OF DECISION MAKING TO THE CENTRAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Subsidiarity will be totally eliminated under the “New World Order”! The master world, godless, world planners have a lot at stake in this health care bill! “Millions spent to sway health care opinions”; (<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/15/health.care.lobbying/">http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/15/health.care.lobbying/</a>). “Public Health Tab to Hit Milestone” (Feb. 2010) - For the first time, government programs next year will account for more than half of all U.S. health-care spending, federal actuaries predict, as the weak economy sends more people into Medicaid and slows growth of private insurance. (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703575004575043490639289022.html?mod=rss_Today">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703575004575043490639289022.html?mod=rss_Today's_Most_Popular</a>). A centralized government bureaucracy running the government and running health care for the entire nation WILL LIMIT THE OPTIONS AND YET FORCE THINGS UPON THE POPULATION THAT THEY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO ACCEPT. There will be the reduction of personalized care, expanded bureaucracy, and the lose of personal responsibility. It is like a “Pie in the sky”, all covered, utopia, … which will lead to unjust taxes that are unsustainable. UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IS GOOD, BUT THE WAY IN WHICH WE GET THERE MUST BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. The entire program as set up in principle with Federal power to determine everything from what has to be in your health insurance policy to what it costs, to what treatments will be approved, to how physicians will be punished for falling outside of spending guidelines… In principal it puts too much power in the hands of government. It is wrong and experience shows that that power will likely be abused. People do not feel they are involved or engaged with the health care system. Often when health care is provided by the government or by the employer, people feel it is free health care but it is not free health care. EVERYONE IS ALWAYS MORE CAREFUL WITH THEIR OWN MONEY, but everybody is always freer with other people’s money. This is precisely why health care costs are so high. Once you throw everybody into a pool and you say this is all free because other people are paying for it, people are then shielded from the real costs. WE MUST INVITE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO BRING THE EXPERTISE THAT THEY HAVE TO BEAR; WE MUST LET THE MARKETS WORK, WHICH IS THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSIDIARITY. This brings it closer to the individuals who need care; whenever they can make choices for themselves and for their families that have an impact on their lives, there is a greater protection of human dignity. The delivery system needs to be closer to the people who are sick. They say they are going to save money by looking after MEDICARE ABUSES. Medicare abuses have been taking place ever since the program was installed in 1965, and they have not come close to doing it. What makes them think that they are going to be able to do it now when they have not been able to do it for 35 years? What we are seeing is a Congress and an administration that is trying to speed up this process, one which they wanted done before August 1st, so that the American public cannot continue to oppose what they are trying to pass. The Republican party is accused of being the party of “NO”! BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF NO; they keep telling the American people NO because they are going to do what they want regardless of how the public views it. The Republicans believe that the patient should be empowered to be the consumers of health care and to allow the free market to expand and with transparency so that the people can make their own decisions and costs can come down. The democratic model is based upon the government running the health care whereby they try to reduce the supply of health care, ration it out, and as the demographic demand pressures continue to rise, all you are going to see is costs go up, quality go down and the government being empowered. Why is the democratic controlled congress and this democratic administration all intent upon doing something that republicans, independents and democrats do not want done according to the polls? PROPOSALS FOR THE HEALTH CARE REFORM: 1) Make it easier for individuals and families to buy their own policies and even to pool their own resources in ways that makes sense to them. The Knights of Columbus started as a life insurance association; we could have many more associations like that based on faith or geography or interest where people could pool their recourses in a way that makes sense to them. This has to be made easier. Groups must be able to sell insurance across state lines. 2) Give people incentives to spend their money wisely. The way it works right now, the employer provides each person with supposed benefits and there is this feeling that it is free so you might as well use it. 3) We have tremendous problems with Medicare and Medicaid. We need to fix those programs first, and work toward reform, which is not even mentioned by our law makers. There is an irony to think that only the government can do it. WHAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN is that there will be a last minute offer to distract the American people from the huge government takeover and then after it is passed all the power will be given to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to do as she pleases. “Legislative Strategy?

I never thought I would live to see the day, at least not until the election last year. The following statement appears on the Kremlin, I mean, White House website. “There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to <a href="mailto:flag@whitehouse.gov">flag@whitehouse.gov</a>.” The Obama “administration has asked citizens to report things that sound "fishy." He was critical of the prior administration for wiretapping terrorists, but he has instituted a policy of having citizens report the activities of other citizens to the government. He has also actively attempted to manipulate and control the free press....” (See: <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5320.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5320.html</a>, as well as “You want fishy?

Rosenbloom, posted: August 07, 2009.) USCCB Bishop’s Conference was accused of joining a petition to the FCC which called for discussion over “HATE SPEECH” and its alleged role in violence. Some critics of the petition have cast it as an effort to shut down radio show hosts like Rush Limbaugh. It seem that the commissioner of the FCC was somehow involved in getting people to give to him a petition on “Hate Speech” so that he could respond to it. When you are begging the FCC to investigate “hate speech”; who are going to be the first people targeted? It seems that they are looking for getting moral and religious cover for an investigation into conservative talk radio. This would theoretically involve EWTN, or your local Catholic or protestant radio station. Anyone talking about abortion, about same sex marriages, anyone who dares to suggest that taking elderly people and marching them off to the hospice chute is somehow a bad thing. This is all going to fall under hate speech. We have seen it in Canada already. THIS IS LIKE GIVING THE LOADED REVOLVER TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO USE IT AGAINST YOU. This happened at a time when you have the administration targeting certain news outlets who are less favorable in their coverage. It is very partisan. “USCCB Did Not Join FCC Petition on Hate Speech, Spokeswoman Says”; (<a href="http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=98431">http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=98431</a>). IN AMERICA, EVERY CITIZEN IS EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. BUT SOME CITIZENS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. That's the mixed message sent by the new hate crimes legislation that passed in the House last week. The legislation changed the definition of a federal hate crime to cover crimes committed because of a victim's gender, sexual orientation or "gender identity" -- defined as one's "actual or perceived gender-related characteristics." It also expanded the federal government's authority to prosecute such crimes if the feds conclude that the states have not sufficiently punished the perpetrators. The upshot: Another protected class of victims has been created in America. And another blow has been dealt to America's bedrock legal principle of equal justice for all. Gay-rights activists and their advocates in Congress have labored for more than a decade to carve out this special protection for gays and lesbians over the objections of civil libertarians, religious leaders and even some prominent gay commentators. After failing to sell the idea on its merits, backers recently tucked it into an unrelated military appropriations bill, thus forcing lawmakers to choose between supporting the troops and opposing the hate-crimes provision. The ploy worked, paving the way for expected easy passage in the Senate and a promised signature from President Barack Obama.

After standing firm for so long against such pressure, Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak (D) betrayed his fellow pro-lifers and bought in to a worthless promise from the Abortion President. The Stupak Amendment banning abortion funding in health care garnered 240 votes in the House. The final vote on this unconstitutional and unwise health care takeover – which includes federal funding of abortion – was 219. What will we remember about poor Bart Stupak? That he stood firm, except when it really counted? That he bravely took months and months of abuse, only to fold at the last minute? That he accepted a worthless scrap of paper from the most determined pro-abortion President in U.S. history? The Catholic Health Association and 55 nuns gave their personal blessings to Obamacare, even though the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops opposed it. Apparently they heed the theology of Speaker Pelosi. That gave political cover to "Catholics" who voted for Obamacare.

THESE ARROGANT, REBELLIOUS “CATHOLIC” RELIGIOUS SISTERS, WHO CLAIMED TO REPRESENT THE RELIGIOUS SISTERS IN AMERICA, GAVE COVER TO TEETERING POLITICIANS under great pressure from the Obama administration and other democrats to abandon their protection and defence of the most defenceless and vulnerable human persons among us! May God help us when it is our turn to be abandoned by the “law”! Up to now, the courts agreed that although the states had legalized abortion, we did not have to pay for it. The Hyde amendment solidified that federal money is not used for abortion. WHEN YOU PUMP FEDERAL MONEY INTO THE ABORTION INDUSTRY, STATISTICS SHOW VERY CLEARLY THAT IT REALLY INCREASES THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS. When funding is reduced, the actual number of abortions are reduced. It is not just a philosophical point, but very practical. In the Healthcare Reform what the government is basically saying is we are going to pour billions of dollars into making sure people have (and here is the operative word) “comprehensive healthcare coverage”. In and of itself, it sounds good; we want people to have comprehensive health care coverage. The concern is if abortion is part of comprehensive healthcare coverage. To make a long story short, the courts have always said: “Yes it is!” As long as it is legal, it is part of health care. So now the concern is if this money going to be used to fund abortions. The courts have always said: “Yes it is” unless congress, who passed the law in the first place, explicitly excludes abortion. That is why the Hyde amendment was necessary in the first place. The problem is the way this bill was signed into law recently; it does not apply the Hyde amendment to the funding that is now going to go into health care coverage. We are now going to be pumping all this money into the abortion industry. The executive order says some good things about money not going to abortion. But the problem is that an executive order cannot amend a law. A law was passed by the congress and signed by the president. But if there are legal challenges now, such as a community health care center which starts funding abortion, and it ends up in court, the court is going to say we have to follow the law which says that funding does not exclude abortion; AN EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT TRUMP THE LAW. Obama knows this and knew this! The executive order fills in some gaps in the law but it cannot overturn the law, it cannot amend the law. The danger is if people of faith sit back and become cynical and do not consciously recognize and struggle and fight against the most modern sophisticated techniques ever used on mankind to brainwash the masses of people by way of the mass media, schools (from pre-schools to universities) and even religious institutions, and then do not participate in the election process. If our democratic process still works, if it has not yet become a dictatorship, things can always be changed for the better if people get involved. The Church always calls us to be active citizens involved in the electoral process. Anger is an energy which of itself is not an evil nor a good; it is neutral. We must not remain in just a state of agitation about the evil that is being propagated around us; we must direct our anger out in constructive ways to get things done, otherwise we direct it inward and we get depressed. Since the mid 90’s the number of abortion (killing) clinics have been cut by more that half, principally because they cannot hold on to their staff.

Bottom Line Up Front: MUSLIMS GET A PASS on the First Amendment to the US Constitution - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" – The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and is thus banned.

Let there be no doubt: the sole priority in this entire health care drama of THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE THREE, OBAMA, PELOSI AND REID, has been to authorize a government seizure of the American health care industry and nationalizing a full one-sixth of our economy. They ignored the cold hard facts of the federal budget. Plainly put, you cannot add $1 trillion dollars to the budget and then claim that it’s revenue neutral, cut $500 billion from Medicare and say it won’t affect recipients. The math simply doesn’t work. But Obama, Pelosi and Reid don’t seem to have any problem with fudging the numbers when it’s to their advantage, for their agenda. Worse yet, Obama, Pelosi and Reid have claimed that they would preside over the most ethical and transparent Congress in history. They have repeatedly denied Americans their Constitutional right to know what Washington is doing in their name, because they know that if they find out, they will hold them accountable, at least while our republic is still based on the democratic principles of our founding fathers. “Do you suppose the proposed plan for the country isn't as good as the one that covers congress??? Yesterday on "ABC-TV" (better known as the all barrack channel) during the "network special on health care".... Obama was asked: "Mr. President will you and your family give up your current health care program and join the new 'universal health care program' that the rest of us will be on ?"

To serve the government or to serve the people? Does not our US constitution state: “For the people and by the people”? Or does it state: “For the government and by the government”? Basic natural rights are not given by law. THE CREATOR ENDOWS EACH PERSON WITH INALIENABLE RIGHTS. Freedom of speech is not from the Constitution. Our rights do not come from the state but from the natural law given by God. Human beings are immortal and are offered the choice to spend eternity with their Creator, or not. The basis for rights is not from states which have come into existence and gone out of existence. People or the constitution do not give rights. We have rights because of who we are; rights are given by the Creator of all things! “<a title="Permanent Link to Advice for Europe — And for Us" href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/18/128289/">Advice for Europe — And for Us</a>” “1) INTOLERANCE IN THE NAME OF “TOLERANCE” must be named for what it is and publicly condemned. To deny religiously-informed moral argument a place in the public square is intolerant and anti-democratic. To identify the truths of biblical morality with bigotry and intolerance is a distortion of moral truth and an intolerant, uncivil act, which must be named as such. To imagine that any state…has the authority to redefine marriage, a human institution that [is prior to] the state ontologically as well as historically, is to open the door to what John Paul II called … “thinly disguised totalitarianism” – and this, too, must be said, publicly. This will require (western) Christians … to overcome what (sometimes) seems to be a deeply-engrained and internalized sense of marginalization within contemporary society.” (<a href="http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/18/128289/">http://catholicexchange.com/2010/03/18/128289/</a>). Are we maintaining or loosing (rather quickly!) the democratic principles handed down to us by our founding fathers, many of whom died for these principles? By “stealth” the Obama administration is sneaking in FOCA. If our government would allow people to decide, then it would listen to the 86% of the American people who want to significantly restrict abortion. In our search for “COMMON GROUND” let us begin there. And by covertness there is being formed in the U.S. various groups very similar to the KGB of Russia, the Gestapo of Nazi Germany (the CIA?)…!!! “Obama Stimulus Plan - Billions for More Police”; <a href="http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2009/02/386904.shtml">http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2009/02/386904.shtml</a>.

O'Rourke. 32. Why Was Obama Elected? When a friend here in Italy asked me before the elections in November 2008 how is it possible for Americans not to know these things about Obama, I replied to him with two points. (1) It is documented how THE "MAIN STREAM" MEDIA outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN are doing everything they can to hide this incredible information about the leading candidate for the presidency of the USA. I said also that the mass media in Italy is equally controlled by those who do not want God in their lives or have totally denied His existence. (2) When people no longer pray or no longer seek to discover God’s will and NO LONGER SEEK TO DO GOD’S WILL, they quickly become blind to the truth and to reality. “What kind of “strong delusion” is this so that they “believe what is false” (2Thess 2:11)? America, as a democracy, is only as good as its people! The church in America, as in Europe, has basically become a maintenance church instead of a missionary church. It has become a church to satisfy ourselves rather than satisfy Jesus and our neighbor. One can even use prayer and devotions for our own egoism and “feeling” rather than seeking to discover and do God’s will which is inevitably linked to self-sacrifice and the cross. “The Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45) God the Father: “Oh, they will cover the face in order not to see, but the scales from the eyes of all will fall, and they will have the truth before themselves! Foolish and unwise children, corrupted by all the wicked cleverness of the enemy, they are like sheep at the slaughter and they do not realize it! It is not the contempt of the Sacred, it is that they do not want to know anything about “Christian Rules”! THEY PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS, BUT THEY ARE NOT, IF THEY CONTINUALLY TRANSGRESS THE CHRISTIAN BASICS. Hypocrites and false are all those who transgress and continue to declare themselves “true Catholics”! No, my children, the condemnation they are inflicting by themselves and there are no alternatives: either with Me, God the Father, or against Me, and thus with Satan, prince of so many corrupted souls. Do not inflict your faults on others, it was your choice, and to you is due the judgment of condemnation!” (June 8, 2006; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html</a>).

When I sent this information to my relatives and friends before the elections of 2008; a couple of my cousins ask me to not send them anymore emails! I responded to them: “I believe that if a person openly proclaims that the first thing he would do as president of the USA would be to promote and increase the incredible genocide of killing tens of millions of helpless, defenseless, innocent human beings, I believe that this person would be CAPABLE OF ANYTHING! "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA). That's the first thing that I'd do." -- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007 (<a href="http://www.nrlc.org/foca/index.html">http://www.nrlc.org/foca/index.html</a>). America will get what America deserves!” Unfortunately, most Americans are like some of my cousins who are willing and desiring to BELIEVE ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE and will not listen to anything else. Most Americans no longer take the time to examine the fruits and the concrete actions of the candidates for office. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits” (Mt 7:15-20). “Obama & Live Birth Abortion / Induced Labor Abortions / Infanticide Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video” (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYRpIf2F9NA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYRpIf2F9NA</a>). “Obama's Abortion Extremism” (April 2, 2008; <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040102197.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040102197.html</a>). “Obama Lying About His Abortion Record” (August 19, 2008; <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/barack_obama_abortion_extremis.html">http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/barack_obama_abortion_extremis.html</a>).

Bush made his mistakes and McCain is no saint. But with the powerful effect of marketing techniques and well thought out slogans (“Change we need!”) and above all with the help of the very liberal and secularist mass media, most Americans were led and manipulated to see only the faults and defects of Bush and McCain so as to distract the Americans about who Obama really is and his real agenda shown in his very few years as a Senator and especially in his personal history leading up to his running for the highest office in the land. The mass media very carefully and methodically blacked out Obama’s real personal history and so many other truths that could have helped Americans decide on who to vote for in the most important position in our government. The Americans voted for a basically unknown candidate who cannot even produce a valid America birth certificate! IT IS INCREDIBLE THE POWER OF THE MASS MEDIA ESPECIALLY AND ABOVE ALL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BASICALLY PUSHED GOD OUT OF THEIR LIVES as One who is too demanding with His 10 Commandments and His statements in the Gospel such as: “He who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it” (Mt 10:38-39). “WHO IS HE??? - I did some of my own research after reading this.

The doctors observe that "Obama's logo is noteworthy. It is always there, a small one in the middle of the podium, providing a point of visual fixation ...

Joseph Farah wrote in October 23, 2008, just before the election, in his article “Obama: Never a Christian”: “The most extensive comments ever offered by Obama about his faith came in a 2004 Chicago Sun-Times interview <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=65752">I first wrote about last May.</a> … In other words, he [OBAMA] DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN.” (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=78757">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=78757</a>). According to Mr. Webster Tarpley, in his book, “Obama, The Postmodern Coup, The Making of a Manchurian Candidate”, Obama was recruited over 25 years ago by Zbigniew Brzezinski, as a student at Columbia University, to be groomed as the president to succeed George W. Bush in 2008. In 1970, Brzezinski had recruited Jimmy Carter, the then unknown governor of Georgia, to be president in 1976, and foster the plans of the oneworlders; Obama is now his latest recruit for the completion of this plan for a world government.

What is the fundamental criteria here? If there are no absolutes acknowledged and accepted from the Creator by a society or by a dictator, who decides who is to live and who is to die?!? Caught on Tape: Obama Calls Abortion the Center of His Health Care Agenda! If you’ve seen the <a href="http://www.fightfoca.com/">http://www.fightfoca.com/</a>, you know that, as a presidential candidate, Barack Obama promised abortion advocates at a Planned Parenthood conference that the “first thing” he’d do as President was to sign the Freedom of Choice Act. Thankfully, 700,000 who signed the “Fight FOCA” petition helped convince him that was a bad idea. But did you know that, at that same conference, OBAMA SAID THAT MANDATED ABORTION COVERAGE WOULD BE AT THE “CENTER AND HEART” OF HIS HEALTH CARE AGENDA? He did, and we’ve got the tape. Even more than two years ago this agenda was already planned and decided (July 17, 2007), even though 87% of Americans (and counting) are in favor of restrictions on abortion as well as the protection of the rights of individual States, and lower authorities, to make these decisions at the proper, local levels, instead of being mandated and dictated at the federal level where the people have much less control and say (if any!?!) in these important decisions! See: <a href="http://www.realhealthcarerespectslife.com/">http://www.realhealthcarerespectslife.com/</a>. There is a tremendous media bias.

We have opened Pandora’s box with pornography, contraception, abortion, euthanasia, …. Regarding America's acceptance of abortion, the late Catholic apologist Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said, "If we don't stop the destruction of life, we'll come to midnight. That is nuclear war, in which there will be A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR LIFE." Some people have the vocabulary to sum things in a way you can understand. This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 29 April 2010: “THE DANGER TO AMERICA IS NOT BARACK OBAMA BUT A CITIZENRY capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” (<a href="http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2010/06/can-republic-survive-multitude-of-fools.html">http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2010/06/can-republic-survive-multitude-of-fools.html</a>). FROM A MINISTER'S WIFE: We were in slow-moving traffic the other day and the car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it. It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8". My husband's Bible was lying on the dash board & he got it & opened it up to the scripture & read it. He started laughing & laughing. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too. Psalm 109:8: "Let his days be few; and may another take his place of leadership." At last - I can voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up - it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray! “OBAMA DISAPPOINTS EVEN LOWERED EXPECTATIONS” by <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/bios/chris-stirewalt.html">Chris Stirewalt</a> (June 28, 2010). “The second phase of the great American disillusionment with Barack Obama is complete. The president fell to Earth a year ago after his stratospheric rise because Americans came to see that he was like other politicians. But there was some solace to be taken for disenchanted voters from the fact that the largely unknown man thrust into the Oval Office by his graceful ways and an amazing concatenation of events was more or less like the other ambitious people with elastic relationships with the truth who seek high office. The fall came when Obama proved to be rankly partisan and surprisingly graceless when dealing with his opponents…” (<a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obama-disappoints-even-lowered-expectations-97174339.html">http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obama-disappoints-even-lowered-expectations-97174339.html</a>). “THOMAS SOWELL: OBAMA'S SLIPPERY SLOPE TO TYRANNY” – “When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics. Such people were a valuable addition to his political base, since they were particularly susceptible to Hitler's rhetoric and had far less basis for questioning his assumptions or his conclusions. "USEFUL IDIOTS" was the term supposedly coined by V.I. Lenin to describe similarly unthinking supporters of his dictatorship in the Soviet Union. Put differently, a democracy needs informed citizens if it is to thrive, or ultimately even survive.

He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83).

History Repeats Itself! AFTER THE DEATH OF JOSHUA, for the first time the people of Israel were without a leader. In the beginning of the book of Judges we read that “there arose another generation after them, who DID NOT KNOW THE LORD or the work which he had done for Israel. And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals...” (Judg 2:10-11). How many so-called “Christians” of the present generation in the USA and other parts of the world do not even know how to say the “Our Father”? A great number of young people who finish 12 years in the U.S. Catholic school system do not even know the 10 commandments! What are the priests and bishops doing? The divorce rate among Catholics is the same as the rest of the population of the U.S. The parents never taught their children about “the work which he [the Lord] had done for” them. Being soft hearted parents is good, but not soft headed. Parents who are soft on offering the true love (firm and loving), sometimes called “TOUGH LOVE”, of proper discipline to their children, do a very great disservice to their children who later must face the realities of life with all it’s difficulties, and an increasingly anti-God and antichristian environment. Archbishop Fulton Sheen said that the parents who let their child do as he pleases, never enjoy the love or respect of their parents. The parent is useful to the child, but where there is utility there is very little love. So often parents fall into the trap of wanting to be loved cheaply. But very often to say NO is love and to say YES is a lack of love. Many parents of the “baby boomers” naively followed the imprudent advice of Dr. Spock whose son committed suicide! Parents have gone behind the world views of so-called experts who dictate “self esteem” instead of humility. We have been bombarded to not discipline our children (“<a title="Permalink" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland/breaking-news-spanking-ca_b_541446.html">Breaking News: Spanking Can Be Bad for 3-Year-Old Children</a>”; <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland/breaking-news-spanking-ca_b_541446.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland/breaking-news-spanking-ca_b_541446.html</a>). Very often the men have wimped out and the women were not able to be both the mother and the father of their children. Men are by nature warriors (<a href="http://www.radixguys.com/">http://www.radixguys.com/</a>). PARENTS HAVE ALL TOO OFTEN ABDICATED THEIR AUTHORITY, being weak in the knees with no backbones! Of course discretion is needed. But we must not let the pagan world dictate to us, else we go with the flow which carries all the dead bodies downstream! We must be strong and persevere in continually swimming upstream in picking up our cross daily and following our crucified Savior. Whether we like it or not, life is a DOUR COMBAT with the powers of evil (CCC 409); if we decide to not fight or if we give up fighting, Satan is happy to push and urge us downstream. Surrender is not an option! If our faith is weak, the voice of faith within us is feeble and so the voices of the secular world dominate with the temptations of lust and egoism. For parents to say, we will let our children wait until they are 21, then they can make up their own minds is absurd. By then, they have already lost their souls. We do not do this regarding learning the language of the parents, or learning how to dress and eat and so many other necessities in life. The secular humanist and gay activist are very aggressive in their proselytism! Visit “Dr. Ray Guarendi's Parenting Televison Special Packages”, at <a href="http://drraydvd.com/">http://drraydvd.com/</a>. We read in the book of Sirach about King Solomon: “But you laid you loins beside women, and through your body you were brought into subjection. You put a stain upon your honor, and DEFILED YOUR POSTERITY, so that you brought wrath upon your children and they were grieved at your folly…” (Sir 48:19-20). Men are inconsistent beings; they foresee catastrophes everywhere but a direction of “spiritual help” they do not seek! Of course when the great chastisement hits, these indifferent egotistical people will blame God, just as Gloria Polo did before the lightning bolt struck her! (<a href="http://testimony-polo.blogspot.com/">http://testimony-polo.blogspot.com/</a>). If you say to people: “You are living in sin!”, how many listen to you? PERHAPS ONE IN FOUR HUNDRED?! How many couples “live together” today in the sin of “free sex”?! Where there is sin there cannot be peace and true love. Where sin is, there “lives together” the other “god”, the “god I”, and that god is made to measure, made for self and based on self; it is stamped by the seal of the devil. Oh, it is true that for them God cannot command them in anything, but they do not even believe in the existence of the devil and thus they are in his arms and he maneuvers their minds leading them to abominable acts. God gives Love; the devil gives death! We must help our sheep to not follow the world with it’s immorality, backbiting, wrong behaviors. There is no longer any rules, no scruples that holds them back, they are in jeopardy, and go to meet evil without looking back to think: “BUT WHERE AM I GOING?” As in the Old Testament, when GOD WITHDREW HIS PROTECTING HAND, other nations conquered the people of Israel. It will not be different this time either. As Sister Lucia of Fatima said to Father Agostino Fuentes, (1957): “Russia will be the scourge chosen by God to punish humanity.” Russia continues to build up and improve their nuclear arsenal as the great liars, Putin and Obama, tell the Americans that they have agreed to reduce and disarm! Of course, the gullible Americans, not in communion with their Creator, believe every smiling, promising word! See other biblical passages indicating these prophecies regarding Russia in Part III below. How many in our modern affluent society do not even realize (or care!?) that they “do not know the Lord” or that they do what is “evil in the sight of the Lord”? How many of us do not even care that in the USA well-paid KILLERS, CALLED OBSTETRICIANS, stick a scissors into the back of the neck and into the brains of poor, innocent, defenseless, unwanted human beings struggling to defend themselves, and then suck out or pull out the rest of the body parts from their very own mothers’ womb, over a million times a year in the USA alone! It is an assault on the fundamental dignity of the human person who is created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27)! Every human life is sacred and irreplaceable. We worship the “Baal” of the dollar, of hedonism, of egoism, of power and of self-sufficiency while rejecting and dismissing a superfluous or annoying God. SEVEN TIMES IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES alone the people of Israel went through the cycle of sin, suffering, supplication to God, salvation from God, and then silence about God, and then they began all over again to sin again. Read the commentary of St. John Fisher about the incredible ingratitude of the chosen people (Breviary, Friday, 3rd week, Ordinary Time). The world is about to enter into the second part of perhaps the greatest such cycle in the history of the world, “suffering” (tribulation!) which will help many to call out to God and to recognize and to repent of their sins. It is interesting that when the Israelites were tired of deciding and doing things on their own and experienced how much better it is to follow God’s chosen ones, they finally pleaded with Gideon to “rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also...” (Judg 8:22). How many Christians have also become TIRED OF BEING THE POPE and have made this same wise choice to follow God’s chosen one, the living Pope to whom Jesus promised that “the gates of hell would not prevail” (Mt 16:18)? This promise was made to Peter and to his successors, not to the bishops, and much less to the conferences of bishops or to so-called theologians who have set themselves up as a second magisterium over and against the one that Christ established! To give a fundamental example of this great decline and abandonment of God and His commandments, consider that after the second world war many peoples (especially in the USA and Europe) experienced a rather substantial increase in wellbeing, which is certainly not an evil. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT PEOPLE QUICKLY BEGAN TO WANT AS MANY PLEASURES AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS OR RESPONSIBILITY OR CONCERN FOR OTHERS, ESPECIALLY THE WEAKEST AND MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR SOCIETY. The world, along with many so-called “Catholic” leaders and groups, began to put tremendous pressure on the Catholic Church to CONFORM TO THE MENTALITY OF THE WORLD, to conform to the “spirit of the age”, of irresponsibly seeking pleasure without any restraints indicated by God’s revelation (of love of God and neighbor) and interpreted by the Church, especially after the discovery of “the pill” (1960). King Solomon of the Old Testament did not use the wisdom he received from God; instead of bringing the world to God, he brought the women of Egypt, who worshiped false gods, to Jerusalem. “If it were not for the Catholic faith, mankind would have destroyed itself many times over”; “We do not need a Church that is moved by the world, but a Church that moves the world” – G.K. Chesterton. Jesus: “But alas, there are always less holy vocations, and those that there are vacillate and then decide to follow the world, instead of doing in such a way that the world follows them, their teaching of the Living Gospel. Oh poor Me, constrained to beg for love and suffering to offer oneself for the salvations of souls; to ask you to do, my faithful children, that which in reality THE PRIESTS SHOULD DO!” (September 14, 2005; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html</a>). After the war and depression, many people said: “I do not want my children to have to suffer what I had to suffer.” It is normal to want to avoid suffering. But Christians follow Christ crucified in order to rise with Him after death. True love of God and neighbor always entails some kind of suffering. Saint Raymund of Penyafort wrote: “I should hope that you would not be counted among their number. Their homes are peaceful and complacent. They live in security and never feel the touch of the Lord’s rod. THEY PASS THEIR DAYS IN PLENTY AND IN THE END GO STRAIGHT TO HELL.” (Office of Readings; Jan. 7). When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical, “HUMANAE VITAE” (1968), there was an incredible negative reaction not only on the part of the laity who wanted to enjoy the pleasures of sex without any responsibility or openness to life by using artificial birth control, but even on the part of a great number of priests and bishops, even entire Episcopal conferences (e.g., the ‘Winnipeg Statement’ of the Canadian Bishops)! BEFORE 1930 ALL MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS were in accord with the Catholic Church that the use of artificial birth control was a grave evil and a serious sin. When the Anglican Church changed its stance in 1930 (Lambeth Conference) the other protestants churches quickly followed suit while Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching on this grave evil in his encyclical Casti Cannubii (1930). In 1968 most Mainline Protestant groups went along with Contraception; many were afraid of becoming Catholic. After Roe v. Wade, there have been 1.5 million abortions each year; many Protestant groups changed their mind and retracted, especially Southern Baptist Church. Church discipline can be changed, but the doctrine of the faith and morals which comes from God cannot change, and will not change. THE CHURCH IS AT THE SERVICE OF THE TRUTH WHICH DOES NOT CHANGE. The Church does make progress, but cannot change the doctrines of faith and morals. The infallibility of the Pope is a negative infallibility: Christ will not let the Pope teach error. Humanae Vitae went completely against the mentality of the world, but the prophetic words written in this encyclical all came true! More than ever men see women as sex objects instead of a person to love. In the richer countries of the world there are more grandparents than babies and we wonder why there is an economic crisis?!? The vast majority of Catholics walked away from Humanae Vitae just as the vast majority of the disciples of Christ walked away from Christ regarding the announcement of the Eucharist as seen in John chapter 6! God knows better what is good for us individually and collectively and He gives us the grace to do it if we only trust Him rather than ourselves! Less than a hundred years ago, one of the main motives that parents had more children was to provide for their future and retirement. When the state offered social security, the great majority of parents opted to avoid the sacrifice of having more children than one or two for their own pleasure and satisfaction. But the state needs children to pay for the pensions of the elderly who offered to society very few children. Thus the economy will collapse. The Church’s teachings are relevant not only on a spiritual level, but also on a very practical level! THE GOSPEL IS NOT JUST FOR SUNDAY MORNING IN CHURCH! God is love; if we love, things go well. If we do not love, things go badly, very badly. And there is no middle ground neither here on earth or after death for all eternity! One might call the middle ground hear on earth repentance; but after repentance God calls us again to live fully the Gospel, not 75% or 95% of the Gospel that suits each one of us! Ultimately the contraceptive mentality of recreational sex, detached from responsibility and life, quickly led even to the point of the denial of the equal dignity for a whole class of human beings and the genocide of countless millions of innocent, defenseless unborn babies (as JUST A FORM OF CONTRACEPTION!) in the place that ought to be the safest refuge in the world for our fellow human beings, their mother’s womb. Our modern pagan culture says that what is inside the womb of a mother is a “choice”, not a precious, defenseless human being made in the image and likeness of God Himself. In the U.S. alone, we slaughter more that 4000 human beings every single day inside the wombs of their mothers! THIS BRINGS DOWN SUCH DARKNESS AND HELL ON HUMANITY THAT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. This has everything to do with all that we are seeing today. The basic decomposition of our beloved country and the whole western world, the melt down of western civilization, is tied into this! When the Anglican Church first approved the use of contraception in 1930 it was only for serious reasons and only for married people who have been generous for life. However, by providing an opening for contraception, the qualifying phrase “for serious reason” was quickly ignored. Subsequently the use of contraception was viewed as virtuous behavior, and even the silent holocaust of abortion has become a private ethical choice of birth control. The unborn, unwanted babies no longer have any legal protection; they are now ripped to pieces after they are brutally murdered. BABIES DO NOT CHOOSE TO DIE! Is this not a good example of the slippery slop? The former Hippocratic oath for health care workers read: “I will administer no abortafacient to a pregnant woman.” The original Hippocratic oath acknowledged that abortion was a form of doing violence not only to the child but to the woman as well. On June 2nd, 2009, Steven Mosher was awarded the “Blessed Frederic Ozanam” award by the Society of Catholic Social Scientists. “No one is more impoverished than the child in the womb,” said Mosher upon receiving the award. “The poor may possess little, but the unborn child possesses nothing…” As soon as we do not see life as a precious gift but only as a convenience to ourselves, OUR SOCIETY QUICKLY SINKS INTO THE CHAOS OF HELL IN THE CULTURE OF DEATH! When everything totally crashes and there is great suffering and confusion, the great majority will wander why! We are so blind to our fundamental egoism, pride, sloth and lack of charity which caused the catastrophe! Visit: “<a href="http://pop.org/201003231196/prophecies-of-humanae-vitae">Prophecies of Humanae Vitae</a>” (<a href="http://pop.org/201003231196/prophecies-of-humanae-vitae">http://pop.org/201003231196/prophecies-of-humanae-vitae</a>). To get a better glimpse of what is quickly developing on the world stage, let us take a look at what a great author had to say who lived through it! FEDOR DOSTOEVSKY, born in Moscow (1821 – 1881), had three great creative moments in his rather short life. THE FIRST MOMENT of his life was when he learned the meaning of freedom. He was almost executed as a young revolutionary (1849) but instead was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in Siberia. He looked death in the face, but got back that elemental freedom, the freedom to live and move and have his being. THE SECOND CREATIVE MOMENT was when he learned the implications of that freedom. He suffered tremendously in Siberia as a veritable inferno; imprecations and curses were the responses of most of the prisoners. Out of this experience later came the books describing what he had been through: “Letters From The Underworld” and “The House Of The Dead”. HE LEARNED THREE LESSONS WHILE IN SIBERIA: 1) how evil men can be. He wrote that there are some people who will abuse freedom to a point of wishing only evil. They loose the distinction of right and wrong. They do not deny God; they challenge God! They set themselves up as an absolute. He learned that man is open at two ends: he is open to the inspiration of grace, and he is open to the devil himself. He said some of these men, both among the prisoners and the prison guards, wanted to do evil just for the sake of evil, even to make good evil. And as a result, they became cruel. “I learned that it is possible for a man to become more cruel and blood thirsty than any beast”. 2) The second lesson that he learned was about a social system that evil men can create; that social system that exists in the land where he lived. He described this social system as a wall under which men must live unto eternal frustration. 3) The third lesson that he learned was the only alternative for this social system is Christ, in whom as he rightly said, is God in the image of man. He wrote: “I thank God that I have passed through Siberia because I have learned now the essence of man, and I have also learned that it is only in Christ that I must repose.” And later on when Belinsky, the atheist, would try to win him over to his atheism, D said in his own queer way, he said to Belinsky: “I would rather be wrong with Christ than right with you!” Prison spoils some men. It spoiled Oscar Wilde. He lost all of his creativity in prison. And he came out of prison and wandered the streets of London under a diabolical pseudonym. He lost his power of writing because he had been in prison, but not Dostoevsky who learned these lessons which he has passed on to all of us. Dostoevsky came out of prison in order to come to THE THIRD MOMENT OF HIS LIFE, the truly creative literary moment in which he wrote some of the great pages of literature such as “Crime and Punishment” (1866), “The Possessed” (1872). In these works he described communism that was to come. In “Crime and Punishment”, one of the characters, is Raskolnikov, THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNIST, who does not believe in a distinction between right and wrong, good and bad. But he is interested in the masses; he is concerned about the poor; he wants to build up a social system; he is concerned with the proletariat. And this new social system that loves the masses must be built up, but in order to build it up says Raskolnikov, you have to have money. So he kills a poor old woman pawnbroker to get money to establish his socialistic state (like today with Planned Parenthood and abortion, lavishly supported by the Obama administration!). And he argues: “she was vermin anyway”. This is the system, you kill one, you aid a 1000 of the masses; that’s simple arithmetic. That is communism, no concern whatever for the individual person. All that matters is the party state, the totalitarian structure. And hence the individuals wherever they may be - Poland, Hungary, Albania, or anywhere else - let them be wiped out. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE REGIME THAT PROFESSES TO LOVE THE POOR AND TRAMPLES ON THEM. Dostoevsky, in his work, “The Possessed” uses five primary ideological characters to describe the state that has been set up by this philosophy. Through their philosophies, Dostoevsky describes the political chaos seen in 19th-Century Russia. Dostoevsky is no longer concerned now with the individual communists. You see the characters of Dostoevsky, like Verkhovensky, Shatov, Stavrogin, Stepan Trofimovich, and Kirilov. Oh yes, they are in the pages of “The Possessed”. With these men, if you cut a page, blood comes out. And they walk across the streets of Russia. THEY ARE LIVING CHARACTERS, they just have other names: Stalin, Lenin, Khrushchev, … He wrote about them; he knew them all. He lived through them; he saw it coming. Verkhovensky said the foundation of the Russian revolution would be atheism. He then talks to Stavrogin and he tells Stavrogin just how he must develop this system and Stavrogin prepares for it. And so he violates a girl, and after he has violated her, he locks her in a room. He sips tea as he observes her through a little opening in the door until she goes mad. As he enjoys his tea she finally goes mad and she hangs herself and Stavrogin says: “Now, I no longer know the distinction between right and wrong. NOW I AM READY TO ESTABLISH THE SYSTEM.” And so the characters walk out on the pages of “The Possessed”. And would you not think that some of these pages were written by someone who had passed through the experiences and communism in Russia in the last century? Stavrogin suggests a system of spying; every member of society spies on the others. Stavrogin says: “And it is the duty of each to inform against others. All are slaves and equal in their slavery; equality, all comrades. They will be banished and put to death: Cicero will have his tongue cut out; Copernicus will have his eyes put out; Shakespeare will be stoned; slaves are bound to be equal. There has never been any freedom or equality without despotism, but in the herd, everyone will be equal. The moment you have family ties or love, you get the desire for property. We will destroy that desire. We will make use of drunkenness, slander, spying. We will make use of every incredible corruption; we will stifle every genius in his infancy; we will reduce all to a common denominator, complete equality. Only the necessary is the necessary; that’s the motto of the whole world from now on. The world needs a shock, and that’s for us, the dictators, to look after. ABSOLUTE SUBMISSION, ABSOLUTE LOSE OF INDIVIDUALITY. Once in thirty years the dictator will let them have a shock and they will suddenly begin eating one another up, just as a precaution against boredom.” And then, Dostoevsky, knowing that this philosophy, which has no respect for persons but speaks of a love of the masses, will be a menace to the world, TELLS HOW IT WILL WIN OVER THE WORLD. He told how all the intelligentsia, the rift raft, the false liberals, all of the people without a fine distinction of right and wrong will follow after these individuals. “And do you know - says the leader - that we are powerful already; our party not only consists of those who commit murder and arson, fire off pistols, in the traditional fashion or bite colonels; they are only a hindrance. I RECKON THEM ALL UP. A teacher who laughs with children at their God is on our side. The lawyer who defends an educated murderer because he is more cultured than his victims and could not help murdering them to get money – he is one of us. The school boys who murder a peasant for the sake of sensation, they are ours. The juries who acquit every criminal, they are ours. The prosecutor who trembles at a trial for fear he should not seem advanced enough, is ours. And among officials and intelligentsia and literary men, we have lots and lots of them, but if they do not know it… And so we will have a little fresh blood now and then, and we will set legends going, and every scurvy group will be of use to us. I’ll pick out some of you fellows that you’ll be keen for shooting. Well, there’s going to be an upheaval; there is going to be such an upset as the world has never seen before. Russia will be overwhelmed with darkness, and the whole earth will weep for its God.” Imagine, this was written in 1872! 34. The Vicious Onslaught Against the Culture of Life I do not know a single person who does not feel very proud that the U.S. has put it’s past of racism behind them and this election of a very likeable, attractive, young African American president is a symbol of how far we have come since “Freedom Summer” of 1964 in Mississippi; trying to get just voting rights, the ability to go to a desegregated school, and here we are. But look at what Barack Obama has done in just his first couple of months in office: Rescinded the "MEXICO CITY POLICY" and authorized your tax dollars to fund international groups that are promoting abortion around the world. Begun the process of eliminating the “CONSCIENCE CLAUSE” that protects doctors and nurses from being forced to take part in the horrendous crime of abortion. Expanded HUMAN EXPERIMANTATION by increasing federal funding of destructive embryonic stem cell research even though to this day there is no positive scientific results whatsoever using embryonic stem cells; with adult stem cells there are numerous good results! Renewed funding with our tax dollars for UNFPA – the United Nations group that helped China carry out its "one child" policy of FORCED STERILIZATION AND FORCED ABORTIONS. Promised to sign the “FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT” - which, if it ever were to reach his desk, would undo every pro-life law in all fifty states even though the overwhelming majority of Americans are against this Act. But that's far from all he's done. He's appointing RABID PRO-ABORTION EXTREMISTS to key positions in the government. The list is long and includes some of the most hard-line pro-abortion fanatics in the country. Barack Hussein Obama is the MOST PRO-ABORTION PRESIDENT in U.S. history. In only a few months he has: Overturned the U.S. ban on funding International Planned Parenthood Federation and the Center for Reproductive Rights, aggressive pro-abortion and ANTI-FAMILY GROUPS that are deeply involved in forcing abortion on unwilling people all over the world, especially in Latin America. Obama’s negotiators at the UN have already made aggressive pro-abortion and ANTI-FAMILY STATEMENTS at the UN including signing a French declaration that seeks to make homosexuals a specially protected class at the expense of religious freedom. The culture destroyers continually talk about “rights”! I never hear them talking about God’s rights!!! “Portugal Legalizes Homosexual Marriage, Visiting Pope Condemns It” (May 20, 2010; <a href="http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1631/pub_detail.asp">http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1631/pub_detail.asp</a>). Obama spouts off nice sounding words that he wants to reduce abortions, or rather “reduce the number of women seeking abortion”! But ALL THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO REDUCE ABORTIONS, OBAMA IS ADAMANTLY AGAINST! Why are the American people so gullible? Why is it so hard to look at the facts, the deeds, the real fruits?!? They are “victims of the enemy” (2 Tim 2:24-26). See: “President Barack Obama's Pro-Abortion Record: A Pro-Life Compilation” at <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/obamaabortionrecord.html">http://www.lifenews.com/obamaabortionrecord.html</a>. “I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and BY FAIR AND FLATTERING WORDS THEY DECEIVE the hearts of the simple-minded” (Rom 16:17-18). You cannot reduce the number of abortions while funding the expansion of abortion with our tax dollars by abandoning the <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat4781.html">Mexico City Policy</a> and <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1130.html">funding the UN Population Fund</a> which supports forced abortion in China. See: “<a title="Permalink" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-w-mosher/what-is-wrong-with-the-un_b_154213.html">What is Wrong With the UN Population Fund?</a>” by <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-w-mosher">Steven W. Mosher</a>, President of the Population Research Institute (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-w-mosher/what-is-wrong-with-the-un_b_154213.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-w-mosher/what-is-wrong-with-the-un_b_154213.html</a>.) Further, Obama’s support of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would wipe out any law (state and federal) that protects unborn children and their mothers - such as parental consent and involvement, waiting periods, partial-birth abortion or tax funding of abortion-on-demand, force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions - leaving no room for even the tiniest compromise. Several recent opinion polls (2009), including Gallop, indicate that the vast majority of American populace are in favor of restricting abortion at some level. Only about 23 or 25% are in favor of open abortion which is de facto what Roe v. Wade did. Does our president seek to serve the American people and their desires or to serve some other agenda? The majority of Americans are against abortion (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5071.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5071.html</a>). During the last week of April 2009, HILLARY CLINTON appeared before the U.S. House of Representatives while in sworn testimony and said the following. Keep in mind, she promised all these things in her official capacity as U.S. Secretary of State! Clinton praised Margaret Sanger, the racist and eugenicist founder of Planned Parenthood Federation. She compared Sanger to Thomas Jefferson! Clinton praised the UN Population Fund, the UN agency that helped set up and run the Chinese one child policy which is responsible for millions of forced abortions. Clinton said the U.S. would ratify the pro-abortion CEDAW treaty, meaning the last meaningful CEDAW holdout will now fall. Then Hillary made a mistake by revealing their hidden agenda too openly and forthright; normally those who promote the culture of death use very nice sounding words and phrases so as not to alert or reveal their true motives while they work not in the open as indicated above. At a certain point Hillary said: “THE FULL FORCE OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WILL BE USED TO GET GOVERNMENTS TO CHANGE THEIR LAWS ON ABORTION ALL OVER THE WORLD.” (<a href="http://www.c-fam.org/">www.c-fam.org</a>) Hillary may have revealed too much at this point according to these world planners because they try to work shrewdly so as to not awaken or alert the populous. But as more people sin and turn away from God, the powers of evil will have more and more power and so they will become more and more BOLD; soon things will begin to AVALANCHE! We will ultimately arrive to the point that the forces of evil will boldly demand that all deny God and adore the image of the Antichrist or else starve to death without the mark of the beast! Sin not only exists, but today it is rampant! If we do not follow Christ, with His help, it is very easy for the world rulers to manipulate us. Austin Ruse, President (C-FAM/Friday Fax), wrote: “You likely know that the US has the most radical abortion laws in the world: abortion for any reason and no reason through all nine months of pregnancy. Hillary Clinton wants this for the entire world. You likely know that most of the world has abortion either against the law or heavily regulated. Radical pro-abortion feminists like Hillary Clinton cannot stand this. They hold abortion to be a kind of secular sacrament, a sacrament that everyone must worship! I know Hillary Clinton. My staff and I did battle with her throughout the 1990s when her husband occupied the Oval Office. I watched her work at Cairo+5, Beijing+5 and I can tell you first hand that Hillary Clinton is among the most radical pro-abortion advocates in the whole world. I truly fear that with Hillary Clinton as US Secretary of State and with Barack Obama as President of the United States, and with their allies at the UN, we are in for the most wicked four years in our global battle to protect the unborn child from abortion.

Meet the “<a href="http://www.queencityconsultants.com/wordpress/?p=797">QUEEN OF ABORTION</a>”! “Two weeks ago Hillary Clinton ordered Canada to include abortion in the work of the influential Group of 8… Last Christmas Hillary Clinton announced the US would spread abortion all over the world….

Do you detect a pattern here?” (May 4, 2010; <a href="http://www.queencityconsultants.com/wordpress/">http://www.queencityconsultants.com/wordpress/</a>). It is interesting that when the Obama administration goes too far in promoting their agenda of the culture of death, THEY PULL BACK to wait for a more opportune moment in the near future when it will be LESS DETECTED. The Obama administration has officially pulled a Department of Homeland Security Report that claims pro-life people may engage in violence or extremism. The document, which has already been sent to police and sheriffs offices across the country, sparked national outrage. (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5052.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5052.html</a>). IS OBAMA SEEKING TO SERVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE by seeking to discover what the majority of American people want, or is Obama seeking to put in place his agenda, “by stealth”, by going forward with his hidden agenda three steps and then one or two steps back incrementally??? “Obama Admin Used Pro-Abortion, Conspiracy Sites to Say Pro-Lifers Extremists” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5348.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5348.html</a>). “Obama TSA Nominee Erroll Southers Calls Pro-Life Advocates Terrorists in Video” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5861.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5861.html</a>). MARGARET SANGER, who founded Planned Parenthood, had great influence and ability to sell the idea of the practice of contraception to the USA on the basis of solving marital problems, abortion and child abuse matters. Today this promotion has succeed in excluding just about all discussion of contraception in the pro-life debates on abortion. Sanger founded Planned Parenthood because she did not just want to reduce population; SHE ESPECIALLY HAD A RACIST APPROACH, that she wanted to reduce the less desirable races. Not only African-Americans and Hispanics in the USA, but also, since she lived in NY, she was concerned about too many Jews, too many eastern Europeans, too many southern Europeans. She wanted a lot of people who looked like herself. So one of the things she did was to convince African-American preachers in the early 1940’s to promote contraception in their churches so that “they would have a better economic basis” without so many kids. But she was interested in not having so many African-American kids. PLANNED PARENTHOOD STILL HAS 60% OF THEIR ABORTION CLINICS IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS. You might ask what is wrong with that? For one thing it is a sin. Secondly, even if you agree with abortion, as evil as that is, African-Americans are 12% of the population. Why are 60% of their clinics in African-American neighborhoods, unless of course they maintain the same raciest policy that goes back to Margaret Sanger; they are not interested in the Hispanic people either. Margaret Sanger had her organization, Planned Parenthood, cooperate with the Nazis in 1935 to promote eugenics. Planned Parenthood get hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to promote contraception. THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL LINK BETWEEN THIS PROMOTION OF CONTRACEPTION AND ABORTION: if you allow contraception, what you have done is isolate the marital act as giving love from giving life. People say: “Oh, I do not want to have babies, I just want to love the person who I am with.” Once you make that separation, then by accident if you get a baby, you will just kill it. Because “we just want to show love to each other.” Is this love? But that is the lingo that they try to use. To separate procreation, as having babies, and showing love, and make the two separate from each other, sets up a logic that allows any kind of behavior that you want. Planned Parenthood tells us that by promoting contraception there will be fewer abortions. But Planned Parenthood knows full well the hard facts and statistics that by promoting contraception there are more abortions because behaviors change because people feel “secure” with the condom or the pill. ABORTION IS VERY PROFITABLE FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD. DOES OBAMA WANT TO GO TOWARD AND LIVE BY THE IMPORTANT PRINCIPAL OF SUBSIDIARITY OR DOES OBAMA WANT TO CREATE A GOVERNMENT AS BIG AS POSSIBLE? You can be sure that Obama’s recent healthcare compromises will have all the essentials to promote more government control and eliminate the practice of subsidiarity as much as possible, by “stealth”. Even the congressmen do not read all the fine print of these lengthy bills. I hope the American people will repent of their sins according to the criteria of God’s holy laws and not by their own self-made criteria or by the criteria of the masses or by the criteria of the mass media or by any other criteria that is not of God, the One and only Creator of all things. And then if we begin to pray, in union with our Creator, we will be able to see the real fruits of our present government and where these bureaucratic saviors of our nation are really leading us! “Thus you will know them by their fruits” (Mt 7:20). If we are not in union with our Creator, at least to a minimal degree, these power seekers and world manipulators will be able to lead us where ever they like, using beautiful words, arguments, smiles, rhetoric and whatever else! After these puppets of Satan succeed in taking full power, they will no longer have to take one or two steps back! You might find interesting “An Open Letter To President Obama” by LOU PRITCHETT, one of corporate America 's true living legends - an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest rated speakers. He wrote “An Open Letter To President Obama” in which he finished by writing: “Finally, you scare me because IF YOU SERVE A SECOND TERM I WILL PROBABLY NOT FEEL SAFE IN WRITING A SIMILAR LETTER IN 8 YEARS.” (<a href="http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/08/you-scare-me.html">http://god-politics.blogspot.com/2009/08/you-scare-me.html</a>). All dictators in the history of the world, past and present, could not tolerate freedom of speech or freedom of the press. Hitler systematically destroyed libraries museums and schools, and sent off university professors to the concentration camps where most of them died. Once these devious little dictators take full control of the U.S., there will no longer be even freedom on the internet. EVERYTHING WILL BE TOTALLY CENSURED! All transmitted information by the airwaves or computer transactions (not just in the “cookies” in your computer!) are already being gathered in order to be able to quickly identify those who must be eliminated when full control is established - those who are opposed to the regime, the New World Order. Are you on “Janet's list”? GOD THE FATHER: “Dear soul, USE STILL THE ‘MEDIA’ AS LONG AS YOU CAN, and then you will retire in silence in waiting for the events that will happen, because they are near, very near in coming. Amen”. (September 24, 2007; <a href="http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html">http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html</a>). Jesus revealed to GLORIA POLO the following (“The testimony of Gloria Polo” in the church in Caracas, Venezuela, May 5, 2005, can be found at: <a href="http://testimony-polo.blogspot.com/">http://testimony-polo.blogspot.com/</a>): “The devil, with his malefic strategy, has brought humanity to the point of killing their own children. Now I understand the reason why I lived in continual bitterness, depression, always ill tempered, ill-mannered, with ugly ways of doing things, with a bad face, frustrated with everything and with everyone. Of course! I had transformed myself, without knowing it, into a machine to kill babies, and for this reason I was sinking ever more into the abyss. Abortion is the worst of all the sins (those provoked, not when it is spontaneous), because to kill the children still in the womb of the mother, to kill a little innocent and defenseless creature, IS TO GIVE POWER TO SATAN. The devil commands from the depths of the abyss, because we are scattering innocent blood! A baby is like an innocent lamb and without stain… And Who is the Lamb without stain? It is Jesus! In that moment, THE BABY IS THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF JESUS! The fact that it might be the mother herself to kill her own child, determines a profound bond with the darkness, permitting that more devils from hell might come out to destroy and strangle humanity. It is as if one might OPEN THE SEALS… Seals that God has put to impede evil to come out, but that, for every abortion, it opens… And so horrible larvae come out, so that there are more and more devils… They come out to chase and persecute humanity, and then make us slaves of the flesh, of sin, of all the bad things that we see, and we will see always more. It is as if we might give the key of hell to the devils, to let them escape. And so escape more devils, of prostitution, of sexual aberrations, of Satanism, of atheism, of suicide, of indifference… Of all the evils that we see around us. And the world is getting worse every day… Think how many babies are killed every day: it is all a triumph of the evil one! That you might know that for the price of this innocent blood, THE NUMBER OF DEVILS OUTSIDE OF HELL GROWS; they circulate freely in our midst! Let us take shelter! … We sin without even realizing it! And our life transforms itself into an inferno, with problems of every type, with sicknesses, with so many evils that afflict us; all of this is the pure and simple action of the devil in our life. But it is we, we alone, that open the gates of evil, with our sin, and we permit him to freely circulate in our life. It is not only with abortion that we sin! … But it is among the worst sins. And then we have the nerve to blame God for so much misery, so much disgrace, so much sicknesses and so much suffering!...” See also the video clips: Gloria Polo's testimony 1 (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smKKCZLiCi0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smKKCZLiCi0</a>); Gloria Polo's testimony 2 (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAwgC6ednx0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAwgC6ednx0</a>). It is amazing how the proud world manipulators realize the importance of promoting abortion in order to achieve their goal of becoming world dictators! As written above, SOON THINGS WILL BEGIN TO AVALANCHE, more and more quickly, as more evil spirits are freed from hell due to our misuse of our God-given freedom! Evil triumphs when the good do nothing! We, who know better, will be justly judged by God for all of our sins of omission, for not having used our “talents” wisely or for having “hid [our] talent in the ground … You wicked and slothful servant! … And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth” (Mt 25:25-30). So many of our founding fathers and soldiers died for our freedom that so many people around the world do not enjoy. So many “slothful” Americans trod under foot the blood of those who paid the price of our freedom. As the Mother of God said at Akita, Japan in 1973, “The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.” While Obama’s administration is gearing up to make a frightening new global attack on the unborn child, Obama continues to VEIL HIS TRUE INTENTIONS by craftily telling us before and after the election that he is advocating abortion reduction with enhanced economic and social support, especially for poor, uninsured and often unemployed women. In addition, the president advocates stronger families and teenage responsibility!?! But how does this come about without Gospel principles or without the help of God by way of following God’s commandments? All the policies which have been proven to build up the family, reduce divorces and reduce abortions have been always (100%) voted against by Obama before and after his election. “GLOBAL "SAFE ABORTION" CONFERENCE RISKS WOMEN'S LIVES” “The 800 conference participants, culled from the world's major abortion advocacy groups, crafted and signed the "Global Call to Action for Women’s Access to Safe Abortion" demanding that women everywhere "have full access to legal, voluntary, safe, and affordable abortions as part of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care." The Call to Action also demanded that governments reform their laws and policies "at all levels" to ensure "rights to contraception and safe abortion," and that medical schools provide "physicians, nurses, midwives, and other healthcare workers" with abortion training.” (June 18, 2010; <a href="http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1243/pub_detail.asp">http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1243/pub_detail.asp</a>). WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CONTRAST is this outrageous promotion of the culture of death to the promotion of the saints that the Catholic Church holds out to us for our edification and example such as SAINT MARIA GORETTI who chose to die (1902) rather than give in to the boy who wanted to have sex with her outside of marriage! “The Kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force” (Mt 11:12). Maria, before dying, forgave her assailant, Alessandro Serenelli, as did also Maria’s holy mother, Assunta, who later took Alessandro into her home. A saint begot a saint! What a different world we would have if only more parents would live their lives as Assunta did! Alessandro, from the beginning was defiant and without remorse, maintaining that Maria was ultimately to blame for what happened. In desperation behind bars (1910; Noto, Sicily), he received an unexpected visitor to his cell in a dream: it was Maria. Alessandro later said that this grace “gave me a powerful push to my betterment in my spirit.” Maria gave him 14 glowing white lilies for each time he stabbed her. At that point Alessandro began his moment of conversion with God, and he finds himself, and was finally able to admit that all the responsibility of what happened was his. He was released several years early from prison due to good conduct (1929) which he attributes to Maria. Alessandro, as he lay dying, with a picture of his victim that he kept next to him, he scribbled out a note. It is a plea for mercy but also a note of warning to the world: “I ask pardon of the world of the outrage done to the martyr Maria Goretti and to purity. I exhort everyone to keep away from immoral shows, from dangers, from occasions that can lead to sin.” According to the Capuchin Fathers, who gave the last rights to Alessandro and were with him those final hours, he said: “I have suffered enormously for killing a saint. But now I have paid my debt. I have found hope and light. I have found redemption and now I will again be with little Maria in heaven.” Alessandro died (1970) at the age 88; he was buried in the Capuchin cemetery where he lived the last years of his life, after the death of Assunta, with aged and infirmed religious. “NEW STUDY FINDS ABSTINENCE EDUCATION EFFECTIVE, COMPREHENSIVE SEX-ED FLOPS” (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat5950.html">http://www.lifenews.com/nat5950.html</a>). Regarding THE TRUTH IN CATHOLIC TEACHING, Stephen Mosher (Population Research Institute; <a href="http://www.pop.org/">www.pop.org</a>) stated: “I would like to reflect as a convert and a social scientist on the truth of Catholic teaching. Now we all know that the Church has the fullness of truth on matters of faith and morals. But I have been struck by the fact that its teachings are also correct on an economic, on a sociological level also, on all the possible levels of truth seeking. Take for example the question of whether children are blessings or burdens. The Church, quoting the Bible, tells us that CHILDREN ARE BLESSINGS FROM GOD, made in the image of God and of infinite worth. The world however uses a different calculus. The world says that it costs $200,000 to raise a baby from infancy to adulthood, and so sees children as a burden on families, on societies and indeed on the planet. Who is correct? Well if you just crunch the numbers you will see that the average child born in the U.S. will contribute over his or her lifetime about two thirds of a million dollars more to the economy than they will consume. That is to say from an economic point of view they are definitely blessings and not burdens. They are blessings to their family, to their society and to the larger economy as well. This is just one example of how the Catholic faith is true on all levels.” The first four nominated ambassadors to the state of the Vatican in Rome by Obama were all pro-abortion; the Vatican refused all four. Read: “BILL DONOHUE ON ‘SECULAR SABOTAGE’ IN AMERICA”. The first chapter, Revenge of the Nihilists, identifies the groups he views as the chief enemies of Judeo-Christian civilization, and they are principally militant secularists, nihilists, and relativists, and particularly scoffers at all religious beliefs, such as best-selling God-deniers Sam Harris, Peter Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, T.V. scoffer Bill Maher, New York Times editorialist Frank Rich and Hustler publisher Larry Flint. (<a href="http://thebulletin.us/articles/2009/09/13/arts_culture/doc4aad3f85170a5235181257.txt">http://thebulletin.us/articles/2009/09/13/arts_culture/doc4aad3f85170a5235181257.txt</a>). These secularists, nihilists, and relativists, have USED FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES DARWIN'S FALSE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. Karl Marx wrote (January 16, 1861): “Darwin's work is most important and SUITS MY PURPOSE in that it provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle. One does, of course, have to put up with the clumsy English style of argument. Despite all its shortcomings, it is here that, for the first time, 'teleology' in natural science is not only dealt a mortal blow but its rational meaning is empirically explained.” (<a href="http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2009/03/marx-and-engels-on-origin-of-species.html">http://theworldsocialist.blogspot.com/2009/03/marx-and-engels-on-origin-of-species.html</a>). Karl Marx read the Origin of Species in 1860 and wrote that Darwin's book was very important and served him as a basis in natural science for the struggle in history. (<a href="http://www.quodlibet.net/articles/johnson-evolution.shtml">http://www.quodlibet.net/articles/johnson-evolution.shtml</a>). The theories of both Lamarck and Darwin were used not only to explain the origin of species in general, but of man in particular; in fact the only use that a number of so-called scientists saw in either of the theories was to afford proof that man was not specially created, but evolved from a BRUTE BEAST. As there was no real proof, recourse was had to fraud.

WHO DIDN’T GET THE MEMO? “Two to three billion years was available for randomness to do its work. Given so much time the seemingly impossible becomes the possible, the possible probable and the probable virtually certain. One had only to wait. Time itself and the random reactions able to occur within those eons of time performs the miracles." So wrote George Wald, professor of biology at Harvard University and Nobel laureate. The article appeared in the August 1954 issue of Scientific American, the most widely read science journal worldwide, the Broadway of scientific literature. This speculation over life's origins has within it an important lesson: not to confuse accepted wisdom with revealed fact. In the mid-1970s came the seminal discovery of <a href="http://www.brainyhistory.com/events/1977/october_23_1977_150159.html" target="another">Elso Barghoorn</a>. He, like Wald, was at Harvard. Barghoorn assumed correctly that the first forms of life would be small, microbial in size. Using a scanning electron microscope, a tool able to identify minute shapes imperceptible to microscopes that probe images with visible light, Barghoorn searched the surfaces of polished slabs of stone taken from the oldest of rocks able to bear fossils. To the amazement of the scientific community, fossils of fully developed bacteria were found in rocks 3.6 billion years old. Further evidence based on fractionation between the light and heavy isotopes of carbon, a fractionation found in living organisms, indicated the origins of cellular life at close to 3,.8 billion years before the present, the same period in which liquid water first formed on Earth. OVERNIGHT, THE FANTASY of billions of years of random reactions in warm little ponds brimming with fecund chemicals leading to life, EVAPORATED.

The Truth Or Not The Truth; That Is The Question! The Catholic Church has always taught that THE “ENDS” DO NOT JUSTIFY THE “MEANS”. In other words, one cannot justify or rationalize committing even one single sin, especially a grave, intrinsically evil sin such as abortion, in order to arrive at a “good end” or a “greater good”. This would be the same as telling God to BUTT OUT while we commit a horrendous crime so that we can achieve a greater good, according to our “wise” human criteria and judgment, as if God is not able to bring about good without our sin! As Pope Benedict XVI clearly teaches, WAR AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT ARE NEGOTIABLE, but abortion and euthanasia are not! The Church has always taught that there is a hierarchy of values and truths; many false Catholics try to convince us that all values are equal, like a “seamless garment”, so as to justify committing the greater, and intrinsic evil. “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes” (Mt 11:25)! Those who are not right with God, or as we say as Catholics not “in the state of grace”, will believe every word these world planners say (2Thess 2:11-12), especially by way of the media, and even end up adoring the image of the first beast, the Antichrist (Rev 13,11-18). Nero put the blame on the CHRISTIANS for burning Rome, and most people were GULLIBLE enough to believe his lie. Things have not changed much today! Many people fall prey to SO-CALLED “Catholic” (in name only!) politicians, “Catholic” publications and “Catholic” Universities who offer themselves as a substitute or new Magisterium of the Catholic Church, convincing many people that you can get rid of the cross of Christ and still feel holy and saved as a “Catholic” or Christian! “As we have said before, so now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed” (Gal 1:9). My cousin wrote to me before the November 2008 elections and told me that “the effects of the church’s narrow anti-abortion efforts” are hurting the pro-life cause and that “I happen to believe we need to come to people in love not with threats.” This cousin referred me to an article by the National Catholic Reporter: “Bishops narrow anti-abortion effort hurts pro-life cause”!!! But the 40 to 50 million babies that we have slaughtered in the USA since 1973, do we come to them “IN LOVE”??? Do the ends justify the means as the above article indicates??? Are there no "hierarchy of values"??? Has “ABORTION” become only something “political” or something without any reference to what abortion actually is? Have we become so callused and cold in spirit and estranged from reality and LIFE that it is OK to kill millions of babies in the name of the “pro-life cause”!?*!? What kind of “strong delusion” is this so that they “believe what is false” (2Thess 2:11)? So many desire to convince themselves that they are Christians but it is really only sentimentality and superficiality without the cross of Christ in sacrificing ourselves for others, especially those that require us to suffer including an unexpected pregnancy, an old person who is not autonomous, a difficult person, an enemy, ... Jesus commanded us to love ALL! “For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? ... (Mt 5:43-48; Lk 6:27-38). See “The Hope of the World!” at <a href="http://trueevangelization.blogspot.com/">http://trueevangelization.blogspot.com</a>. “For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles...” (1Cor 1:22-23). We do not follow BUDDHA ON A NICE COMFORTABLE SATIN PILLOW! And yet we want our Christian religion to be only a consolation to us without letting anyone tell us what our religion commands of us. These pseudo Christians tell us only the one side of the truth that Christ forgave sinners such as the prostitute, but they do not ever mention that Christ also said to the prostitute: “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (Jn 8:11)! Jesus, as should all Christians, loves the sinner but hates the sin. The liberals refuse to make this distinction so as to justify their condemnation and growing persecution of true Christians who LOVE the people who have a tendency toward homosexuality but HATE the ACT of homosexuality. But how can Godless people believe in sin if, according to them, God does not exist? These so-called “HATE CRIMES” will soon be the driving force to destroy the family, marriage and deprive us of our religious freedom supposedly guaranteed in the first amendment. True Christians love those who have the temptation to fornicate but hate the ACT of fornication! Even liberals are forced to declare that they hate the ACT of homicide while they “claim” to love their fellow brothers and sisters. If one does not love “the least of these my brethren” (Mt 25:40) their “claim” to love others is really masked egoism! It is cynical, base hypocrisy! They do not even live the most basic precept of every mainline religion: “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lv 19:18; Mt 19:19; Jn 13:34). Our modern culture enhances individualism and egoism! Some organizations describe Pro-lifers as domestic terrorists. But it is the most peaceful human rights organization that there is. The pregnancy care centers outnumber abortion clinics three to one. The pro-life movement puts it’s money and it’s volunteer hours where it’s mouth is. This has resulted in many pro-choice women to change their mind when they discovered this truth. THE MEANING OF “LOVE” for the pro-choice people is “I want well FOR ME!” The meaning of “love” for the pro-life people is “I want well FOR YOU!” Pro-choice is misguided compassion, an excuse to kill the baby. Forty-five states have HATE CRIMES LEGISLATION on their books and now Congress is poised to add gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered people to the list of federally protected classes. Pastors will soon be prosecuted for even reading in church the parts of the Bible (or rather all of the Bible!) that indicate that THE ACT OF HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN as has already happened in Canada and other countries! The National Organization for Women (NOW) and Planned Parenthood want you to believe that women have abortions to have their freedom of choice. But we know by listening to women who have had abortions, women do not have abortions because of freedom of choice; women have abortions because they have no choice. They feel trapped! But do the “Pro-Choice” people help them to have a choice? The “Pro-Life” movement does help these abandoned women to freely make their choice while offering a real helping hand! “Choice Kills” (<a href="http://www.choicekills.com/">http://www.choicekills.com/</a>). Abortion, the most common surgery in America; why don’t we ever see what it looks like? Not until people saw images of children in coal mines did they enact child labor laws. Not until people saw images of human torture did they rise up against slavery. America will never reject abortion, unless America sees abortion. See “Looking Abortion in the Eye” at <a href="http://www.priestsforlife.org/images/index.aspx">http://www.priestsforlife.org/images/index.aspx</a>. In his famous letter from a Birmingham jail, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr. wrote: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Let us interpret this phrase fully: "Injustice (killing defenseless, unwanted babies) anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Who of us will be in the “defenseless, unwanted” category in the future? THE NIECE of Dr. Martin Luther King follows courageously the steps of her uncle! “DR. ALVEDA KING: Abortion Has Been Devastating for More African Americans than Slavery” (March 2, 2010; <a href="http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=35643">http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=35643</a>). “New 'FREEDOM RIDE' targets culture of abortion Alveda King working for recognition of civil rights of unborn” (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=178493">http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=178493</a>). “Pro-Life Freedom Rides Begin in Birmingham, July 23” (<a href="http://www.priestsforlife.org/action/pro-life-freedom-rides.htm">http://www.priestsforlife.org/action/pro-life-freedom-rides.htm</a>). Many people say that they cannot impose their beliefs on anther person. This reminds me of a bumper sticker: “If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one”. But we could hardly imagine on the back of a stage couch a bumper sticker: “IF YOU DON’T LIKE SLAVERY, DON’T OWN ONE!” No one would think that would be a reasonable thing to say. A hunter does not shoot into a bush is he feels there might be a possibility that there is a person behind the bush. If he kills a human being, he is held liable. But so many have A STRONG REASONABLE DOUBT that there is human life from the point of conception! Many have an abortion so as not to interrupt college or tennis (Billie Jean King), but then accept a baby if it comes at the right time. But here we are entering into the realm of economics called valorization. A thing is valuable not in itself but according to the number of people who want it. Pope John Paul II wrote a lot about how our culture has fallen into THE INSTRUMENTALIZATION OF HUMAN BEINGS. All human life has value. Abortion hurts women. Women will never reach equality riding on the backs of their dead babies. Adoption: it’s a choice that you and your baby can live with! ABORTION CANNOT BE MADE LIGHT OF; IT CANNOT BE OVER LOOKED. Facing the truth about abortion leads us to freedom. Dr. Theresa Burke, the Founder, Rachel's Vineyard Ministries, writes: “If the emotional and spiritual wounds of a past abortion have been sapping faith, love and joy from your life, I can promise, that if you enter this process for healing, your life will begin to change. …” (<a href="http://www.rachelsvineyard.org/">http://www.rachelsvineyard.org/</a>). The American Holocaust: the face of “Choice”! Have you hugged your “Choice” today? Do we not see the absurdity of the “Pro-Choice” slogan? Christians: The blood of CHRIST paid for your sins. The blood of PATRIOTS paid for your freedom. The blood of THE UNBORN is paying for your silence. Abortion is everyone’s sin. The greatest human rights movement of our times is the PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT! Each one of us will all be judged on this issue by God. Let us build a culture of life! Love says I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person; abortion says I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself. It is the opposite of love; that is why we conquer abortion by love. People say that I am personally opposed to abortion but I HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH OTHERS REGARDING ABORTION. But Jesus teaches us that every person is my brother, indeed, Jesus identifies Himself with each person, especially with “the least of these my brethren”: “You did it to Me!” (Mt 25:40). Thus the mother is my sister, but the baby inside the womb of the mother, the least of the two, is equally my brother! “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.” – Mother Teresa. “We cannot fight credibly against other social moral evils, including poverty and violence while we tolerate mass killings by Abortion” - Mother Teresa of Calcutta. “For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Ps 139:13). “Scientists Say Newborn Babies Cry in Native Language, Learned in the Womb”; (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1374.html">http://www.lifenews.com/int1374.html</a>). The baby in the womb is not a potential human being, but a human being with potential! May all politicians and all “Catholics” know that you cannot be Catholic and pro-choice! 36. The Great Attack Against the Family! This “COSMIC STRUGGLE”, between the forces of good and the forces of evil, is growing quickly everyday. These two factions are mutually exclusive. What will happen as same sex unions are increasingly assimilated to marriage or something like marriage... what happens when the rights created by those decisions come up against the conscience rights of people that want to maintain the religious identity of their religious organizations in their hiring and firing? There are very serious conflicts here. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE (Jn 8:32)! So many politicians and UN officials, who promote the “Culture of Death”, USE NICE SOUNDING WORDS AND PHRASES like “freedom of choice”, “women’s productive rights” (code word for contraception and abortion!), “there must be protection for both the life and health of the mother”, “universal access to reproductive health”, “sexual and reproductive health and rights”, “family planning and reproductive health” programs to “combat” poverty in “least developed countries”!” They say they want to combat poverty in least developed countries, but when these egotistical activists are confronted with the reality that their programs and policies cause the women in China and so many other countries to kill the babies that they want to keep, as well as causing so many women to being used and sold as slaves for profit and for the pleasure of egotistical men, they are forced to admit this truth, but they stubbornly continue their death policies by taking refuge in the false myth of overpopulation. MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, INCLUDING RUSSIA, ARE OFFERING MONEY TO ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO HAVE BABIES; THEIR ECONOMIES ARE RATHER QUICKLY DYING. Perhaps for the first time in history, at least in the richer countries of the world, there are more grandparents than babies. Even though widely rejected in 1968, the encyclical “Humanae Vitae” was prophetic. The youth are beginning to wake up to the truth, but already the foundation of destruction has been laid by their parents. The U.S. is actually becoming more and more pro life, if for no other reason than the fact that pro lifers consider babies as a blessing from God and thus have more babies; these babies generally continue to live the values of their parents! There is a pro life increase each year of about one to two percent because people in the pro choice camp have very few babies! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF THE UNWANTED, UNBORN BABIES? Were we not all, at one time, an embryo? Were we not all, at one time, a fetus? Is it not by now well proven that overpopulation is a myth to keep the rich rich and the strong strong at the expense (life?) of the weak, vulnerable and defenseless (<a href="http://www.overpopulationisamyth.com/">http://www.overpopulationisamyth.com/</a>)? Are not the vast majority of the countries in the world today dying demographically and are unable to support those no longer working. “The Overpopulation-Population Control Movement Struggles to Stay Relevant”; (<a href="http://www.lifenews.com/int1384.html">http://www.lifenews.com/int1384.html</a>). How many human rights abuses are committed in the name of "family planning," which are counter-productive social and economic paradigms premised on the myth of “overpopulation” (<a href="http://www.pop.org/">www.pop.org</a>)? Europe is quickly dying and can no longer support the retired people who promoted and bought into this lie of overpopulation. Does not the Gospel teach us that the strong should help the weak? Was not the motto of Mother Teresa, as she cared for and loved the dying on the streets of Calcutta, “You did it to Me” (Mt 25:40), that is to Jesus! Jesus considers every abortion as if Jesus Himself is aborted, because Jesus identifies Himself especially with the weakest and most helpless; “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt 25:40)! Jesus truly hides behind the weakest, the defenseless, to old, the sick, the emarginated ones, … and each of us will be judged according to how we loved JESUS in each of the “least of these my brethren”! The Patroness of unborn children (and of the Americas) is OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE (Mexico, 1531) in whose miraculous image she appears pregnant with Jesus! THE MORE MONEY AND POWER THE PROMOTERS OF THE CULTURE OF DEATH ACQUIRE DUE TO OUR SINS AND LACK OF PRAYER, THE MORE QUICKLY THEY SUCCEED IN ENTICING OTHERS TO FOLLOW THEIR PATH OF DESTRUCTION! An interesting example of their machinations and manipulations was in 1999 in New York City at the United Nations. At a conference on Population and Development, thirty two young people were brought into the negotiations and given the floor. They stated that they represented all three billion of the world’s youth, and demanded the following: abortion as a human right, sexual rights for children, and a deletion of parents’ rights. That was all they had to say. The context of this was that these youth were brought in by various western delegations. The year 1999 was the end of the Clinton years, and the achievement of abortion as a human right was one of the pillars of the Clinton’s foreign policy objectives. They had been promoting this as a national policy throughout the 90’s without the successful affirmation from many countries around the world. And so they brought in these young people to sort of say: “We understand that these are radical ideas, but it is on behalf of the world’s youth; you have to listen to the youth in moving forward with what we want. This is what the new generation wants.” AT A CONFERENCE CONVENED TO DISCUSS THE NEEDS OF THE WORLD’S PEOPLE, BASIC NEEDS INCLUDING ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, SANITATION, EDUCATION, NUTRITION, HEALTH CARE, AND EMPLOYMENT WERE NOT EVEN ADDRESSED. Were these people in control of the assembly really interested in the well being of the people of the countries of the world and what their representatives had to say? As a reaction of conscience, Anna Halpine, an observer at the UN, and a few others went back into the assembly the next morning and distributed bright pink flyers which stated that they were not represented among these “three billion youth” and in fact there were many other young people around the world who had a very different vision for how society should be constructed. These young people who were given the floor yesterday did not represent all the youth of the world. She called for a discussion on topics addressing basic human rights and necessities. What these courageous youth for life did was against all the rules and caused pandemonium because there was not expected another youth voice to represent the other youth in the world with very different views. The thirty two young people brought into the negotiations that were given the floor were paid a lot to be there; their flights were paid for; they had $500/day spending money; they had their proposals drafted for them by the various western states. SO THIS WAS NOT AT ALL AN AUTHENTIC GRASSROOTS EXPRESSION. Anna Halpine and her friends were this terrible fly in the wheel that came out of no where and really changed all of the results. Negotiations were stalled for two hours. But what did happen was that MANY COUNTRIES, MOST OF THEM DEVELOPING, MANY OF THEM POOR AND LESS POWERFUL, CAME UP TO ANNA HALPINE AND HER FRIENDS AND SAID “THANK YOU! Thank you for being here, for saying these things! You need to have a full time presence at these institutions.” And they also said please come to our countries and work with our young people. The world so desperately needs more people like Anna willing to stand up and take the risk of speaking out for the culture of life which leads to true well being as individuals and as the societies as a whole. “Evil triumphs when the good do nothing!” Read more about the “WORLD YOUTH ALLIANCE” at: <a href="http://www.wya.net/">http://www.wya.net/</a>. With more and more people swallowing the lies of the sexual revolution broadcasted in every corner of the earth with our modern technology of communications, one can imagine today how much more the promoters of the culture of death are more than ever forcing their agenda and coercing and manipulating the poor third world countries, and all countries, using even more powerful and sophisticated means of advancing their intended goals! WE ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING A MORAL AVALANCHE! Contrast this hideous and egotistical attitude with that of the saints like Mother Teresa of Calcutta who served Jesus in the dying streets of Calcutta! We read about Saint Camillus of Lellis in regards to the sick: “”Indeed, even when ministering to just one sick man, he seemed to burn himself up and wear himself out with the utmost devotion and compassion. Gladly would he have taken upon himself all their sickness and suffering to alleviate their pain or take away their weakness. So vividly did he picture and honor the person of Christ in them that often when distributing food to them he thought of them as his “Christs”, and would beg of them grace and the remission of sins. Hence he was as reverent before them as if he were really and truly in the presence of his Lord.” (Office of Readings; July 14). “You did it to me” (Mt 25:40)! Would we not all like to be treated as Saint Camillus treats the sick? Do these great atheistic humanitarians and saviors of humanity love their neighbor as themselves? Perhaps we might consider the fact that the SECOND PERSON of the BLESSED TRINITY in His infinite wisdom, Who could have come into the world in anyway whatsoever, chose to become incarnate in the womb of a human woman and spend NINE FULL MONTHS IN HER WOMB!?! Christ sanctified everything He did! You might say that Jesus showed us the preciousness of life in the womb by patiently spending nine months in the womb of His mother Mary! St. John the Baptist, as a six-month fetus in the womb of his mother Elizabeth, leaped for joy in the womb of Elizabeth when he recognized Jesus as a very small embryo in the womb of Mary (Lk 1:44)! Little boys and little girls leap for joy in their mothers wombs, not abstract fetal tissue. You might check out the book: "Redeemer in the Womb: Jesus living in Mary" by John Saward. This book is a unique and profound theological meditation on the nine months the God-man spent in His Virgin Mother's womb. Drawing on Christian philosophy, poetry, liturgy, as well as the Fathers and great theologians of the Church, Saward shows that FAITH IN THE INCARNATION COMMITS THE BELIEVER INESCAPABLY TO THE DEFENSE OF THE UNBORN CHILD. God is not a disinterested spectator in the affairs of man. The Catholic Church holds that a single abortion is homicide. What are 50 million of them since Roe v. Wade? What is the DEFINITION OF GENOCIDE? What is the targeted group? Unwanted, unborn children! It does not have to be an ethnic group, or a religious group, or a national group; it is a homogeneous group: unwanted, unborn children! The people of the world, with the help of the media, are saying suffering is useless, let us help you die. We will help kill you (EUTHANASIA)! They always use nice sounding words: “Death with dignity!” Do they think they are God? Jesus refused a drug on the cross to diminish his pain (Mt 27:34, 48; Mk 15:36; Lk 23:36; Jn 19:29). It is OK to kill old people if they do not fit into our regiment. That is their answer; they befriend death. But we befriend the One who conquered death, Jesus crucified and risen. That marks the absolute difference between us. ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN once said: “The truth is the truth even if no one believes it; error is error even if everyone believes it!” How would you like to be DISCARDED? How cynical and unmanly it is for men to use women for their carnal desires and pleasures and then to discard and abandon them as well as the children that they often leave in the wombs of the women they have exploited. The great majority of the women who ended up aborting their child would not have done so if their boyfriend or husband would have lived up to true and real manhood and said: “I am here with you; I will not abandon you!” These abandoned women had no where to turn for help and so ended up in the hands of the butcher shops of the legal assassins of defenseless unwanted babies. ALL MEN ARE CALLED TO GREATNESS!?! MANY HUSBANDS LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY DO NOT REALIZE THE ETERNAL RAMIFICATIONS OF THEIR DECISIONS. Someone wrote: “If a man seeks to find meaning while refusing to belong to his family, he will find nothing more than the transient distractions to stimulate and occupy him for the present moment until his thoughts bring him back to the emptiness of his rootless situation. … When the heart of the rootless man (so many rootless men trade in the eternal for the temporal) tries to make a nest in the desperate vacuity of his whirlwind life and predictably fails, he will only redouble the search for temporary distractions until his life becomes a fleeing from, not a movement towards, reality.” How many politicians trade the lives of unborn babies for two more years in office? Solomon, the son of king David of the Old Testament, tried just about everything: botany, flowers, architecture, history, and never found peace because he abandoned the one true God! At the end of the day when we talk about men’s leadership, especially in the home, Saint Paul tells us in Ephesians (5:25-27) that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved his Church and delivered Himself up for her so that she may be without spot or blemish or any such thing. ULTIMATELY WHAT HUSBANDS HAVE IS THE AUTHORITY TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR WIVES. And in doing that, that somehow changes the bride. Consider the moment when Christ laid His life down for His bride, the Church. It was the moment when she was least worthy of that sacrifice: one of His apostles, Judas, betrayed him; the head, Peter, denied Him three times; all the other apostles fled with the exception of John. So Christ specifically lays down His life when the bride is least worthy. Somehow it is Him laying down His life that that is what makes the bride without spot or blemish or any such thing. How many husbands, at the end of the day, are willing to pay the price like Christ, which means that they lay their lives down for their brides, independent of their worthiness?

Our day and time is experiencing an unprecedented assault on marriage and family. State after state is succumbing to the push of militants to legalize any union of two or possibly more people and call it marriage, claiming that it is a matter of justice and rights and using anti discriminatory laws to promote their agenda. They seek to advance their world view and are using every social institution to do so. Over a hundred years ago the homosexual act was considered Sodomy and it was identified as an act. It still is Sodomy. IT WAS REFERRED TO AS THE HOMOSEXUAL ACT. BUT IN THE 1960’S IT WAS THEN CONDITIONED. The condition of homosexuality was redefined as a condition rather than an act. It did not change, it was just redefined. What really happened here was while you can criticize an act and you can even say it is a criminal act, how do you criticize a condition that someone suffers with? How can you criticize the act that one commits who has this regrettable condition! “Can’t you be more compassionate?!?” AND THEN FROM THE CONDITION WE NOW HAVE AN IDENTITY. And the identity is now equated to Hispanic or Polish or short or thin… And how can you attack my identity? This identity is equated by Gay activists, whereas the majority of Americans reject this totally. It is a marketing progression. It is definitely a manipulation, an abuse of the public who are dependent upon science, educators, politicians, policy makers, the AMA, the APA, etc; we are all dependent as a community and as a society and as a culture on these different disciplines. So if education has not been properly handled, if science and public policy have not been properly handled, then we end up not only being manipulated but we have been lied to; WE HAVE BEEN LITERALLY DEFRAUDED. The attack on the Christian church is not coincidental. THEY HAVE A PRODUCT TO SELL: IT IS CALLED HOMOSEXUALITY. Years ago, their insidious agenda was not selling through normal channels. So in February 1988, some 175 leading activists representing homosexual groups from across the nation held a WAR CONFERENCE in Warrenton, Virginia, to map out their movement’s future. Shortly thereafter, activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen put into book form the comprehensive public relations plan they had been advocating with their gay-rights peers for several years. Kirk and Madsen were not the kind of drooling activists that would burst into churches and throw condoms in the air. They were smart guys – very smart. Kirk, a Harvard-educated researcher in neuropsychiatry, worked with the Johns Hopkins Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth and designed aptitude tests for adults with 200+ IQs. Madsen, with a doctorate in politics from Harvard, was an expert on public persuasion tactics and social marketing. Together they wrote "AFTER THE BALL (1989): How America Will Conquer It’s Fear and Hatred of Gays in the '90s", in which they outlined very carefully the way in which they were going to manipulate the way in which Americans think about this issue! What was THE BOTTOM LINE of Kirk and Madsen's master plan? "The campaign we outline in this book, though complex, depends centrally upon a program of unabashed propaganda, firmly grounded in long-established principles of psychology and advertising." (<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=32898">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=32898</a>). Kirk and Madsen's "war goal," explains marketing expert PAUL E. RONDEAU of Regent University, was to "force acceptance of homosexual culture into the mainstream, to silence opposition, and ultimately to convert American society."

The use of marketing techniques to sell goods is nothing new, and the art of persuasion to do the same is ancient. However the use of marketing techniques based on psychological processes and the use of new technology to hoist and thrust ideologies, political agendas, world views, morals and ethics upon an unsuspecting public is SOMETHING QUITE NEW INDEED. And yet this is what has happened and is happening right now. A systematic use of these highly sophisticated marketing techniques has been employed by major institutions, pundits, politicians and the media elite to usher in a new world view devoid of the Judeo-Christian ethos. Everybody wants to do the right thing… So the idea of using psychographics and marketing research is to FIND A WAY TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.” You want to lead the horse to water, which is called “prepping the environment”, and along the way make him thirsty so that he drinks himself. In the broad picture, there is something called “agenda setting theory”. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE TODAY IS THAT IT IS NOT ABOUT TRUTH, IT IS ABOUT POWER. AND THIS COMES BY WAY OF THE MANIPULATION OF LANGUAGE AND THE USE OF PSYCHOLOGY. A method called “cognitive dissonance” is used, employing forced compliance. They have found that if they force people to comply with their ideology at just the right level, like in school, being made to feel uncomfortable 8 or 6 hours a day, people begin to substitute things in their mind to get back to that comfortable state. They begin believing those messages that they never listened to but have an impact on them. People are thus converted like the frog in the pot in cold water; if the frog is dumped in hot water, he jumps out; but if the cold water is warmed up slowly, he will sit there until he cooks. This is the ultimate goal: conversion of the mind. People are not only converted but they forgot what they used to believe. Our culture is cooked! You have what you believe on one side, and you have the environment of forced compliance on the other side, and that creates friction, bumping into each other, what you believe and how you are forced to behave. That is called COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. And if that goes on long enough, one of the two is going to win. Either you will struggle to hang on to what you believe or you will throw out what you believe and accept the new to shrug off and eliminate an uncomfortable mental state and situation. On an average day we are subjected to 5000 to 10000 persuasive messages a day. And that is setting the environment to make you thirsty later on whether you realize it or not. So as scary as the internet is, with cookies and elaborate surveillance techniques, this is really what is happening on a daily basis. The amount and the sophistication of the research and the messaging that is everyday leading you away perhaps from what you believe to arriving to a place where you did not know you were going. It is so interesting how EACH OF US WILLING AND KNOWINGLY TAKE SMALL STEPS EACH DAY TOWARD THE TRUTH, with a certain amount of difficulty and suffering, OR AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, taking the easy way. As individuals and collectively we become closer to the Truth and see things more clearly, or we go farther away from the Truth and we slowly sink into the abyss of confusion, and eventually eternal confusion and irrationality with the author of lies, if we do not repent and confess our sins before it is too late. While we are alive, it is never too late to recuperate the possibility of eternal salvation and happiness; Jesus offers His mercy to those who have the humility to repent and beg for His divine mercy up until our last breath! After death, our choice is ratified by God for all eternity. Collectively, as a society and as a country, the more people choose to reject Truth, the more we make absurd and destructive laws without being able to even understand the logic of where these laws lead us and how they result in our destruction and collapse. CHILDREN are getting the message from their parents that sex is a great gift from God. But AT SCHOOL THEY ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE THAT SEXUAL EXPERIMENTATION AND EXPLORATION IS FINE with the opposite sex or with the same sex or whatever makes you feel good with no reference to responsibility associated with true altruism. And if there is a problem here, yes we do not want you to end up with an STD, so we are going to make sure that you have as much protection as you can possibly have. We certainly do not want you young lady to become pregnant out of wedlock so … and they are hearing these message in a captured environment over and over again. This is a cognitive dissonance here. But it goes farther then that. Because while the parents are teaching, let’s say Catholic teaching, or traditional values or just conservative values or family tradition, they are also telling their kids: “listen to your teacher, that’s what you are there for”, and they are setting the teacher up as the authority figure, especially in educational matters, but unfortunately the gay social agenda has spread throughout the schools systems now. In 1990, Kevin Jennings, with three other people, founded GLISTeN, the GAY AND LESBIAN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL TEACHER NETWORK. The organization's name was later changed to GLSTN, Gay and Lesbian School Teachers Network, and then to GLSEN--the Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Educational Network--whose mission is to destroy old time religious beliefs which hold that the homosexual act is a grave sin and disorder. Christians, as their Savior Jesus Christ, love the sinner and those with homosexual tendencies, but hate the sin, the act of homosexuality. Of course Gay activists do not make this distinction and thus accuse Christians of hating homosexually oriented people. Gay activists have willing destroyed the consciousness of what sin is according to the one true God, Who imprinted His law into nature itself; thus how can they possibly make or understand this vital and fundamental distinction. They boast that they have 4000 Gay Straight Alliance clubs in schools across the nation. What happens is that there are national things that are supposed to be spontaneous students grassroots things, but they are not. They are messaged by the ACLU, gay advocacy groups, etc. They come into the schools, they get the students involved, they get the counselors involved, they get the administration involved; they create an environment, FORCED COMPLIANCE, where even if the parents are teaching their children that heterosexual marriage is connected to how God created us as a man and a woman, in school all day long, if the children voice a different opinion, they are going to be OSTRACIZED, they may even be called a homophobe, which is a made up word - it is really a political word, not a medical term. And so all day long, their emotions, their cognitions, their beliefs, have to be held in check against the environment that they are put in. And what starts to happen is, and research has shown this, if you take a look at the issue of same sex marriage, the more years the students have been exposed to this subtle indoctrination without their consent, the more they are in favor of same sex marriage, because they have had more and more years of being taught that same sex marriage and homosexuality is normal and healthy. IT IS A GRADUAL INDOCTRINATION TO A WORLD VIEW AND AN ETHOS THAT IS OUTSIDE THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ETHOS, but it is not presented that way as being outside the Judeo-Christian ethos, but rather as safety, diversity, or something else, which is what helps to sell it to the parents. “A PARENT’S GUIDE TO PREVENTING HOMOSEXUALITY”, by Dr. Joseph Nicholas (<a href="http://www.dads.org/">www.dads.org</a>). RELIGION IN SCHOOLS IS REALLY WHERE IT BUMPS HEADS WITH THIS COGNITIVE DISSIDENCE AND FORCED COMPLIANCE. Whenever a child is told - and we have seen supreme court cases all over the place like this - when a child is told that you cannot bring religion into the school because there is “SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE”, and whether you are a voting citizen or a child in school, when someone says this; first of all the supreme court never said this; the supreme court said the government has to be neutral. It did not say one has to suppress one side in favor of the other (multiple courts show that the supreme court is neutral). Secondly, what they are really saying is this, and this goes back to the messaging of leading you up to where you think you are doing the right thing: when someone says to your child “church and state”, when someone says to you as a citizen “church and state”, WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SAYING IS, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE AS A CHRISTIAN, you only have a right to vote as a non Christian because that is the way I believe. And it is not even a matter of you forcing your faith on me. That is messaging. I am not forcing my faith on anybody. But I have a right to vote for my world view and my world view happens to be Christianity. So when you hear these sorts of arguments they are always a little bit off the topic, and that is rhetoric, that is messaging, that is marketing, of saying “lets really frame it in this way instead of that way”. Do I not have a right to vote as a Christian? And what they are really saying is NO! You only have a right to vote if you vote as a non Christian. This has happened not only to the voting public but we have watched, and it pains me deeply, when CATHOLIC POLITICIANS say: “I have to leave my world view at the door when I vote for legislation.” Jesus said: "But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father Who is in heaven" (Mt 10:32-33). Notice here the words “before men” clearly indicates publicly. IT WILL NOT WORK ON JUDGMENT DAY to say I believed in you Jesus in my heart, but in order TO BE “POLITICALLY CORRECT” I voted in favor of legally permitting other adult human beings to kill defenseless and unwanted human begins! So too those who deny Jesus “before men” to receive the mark of the beast, the microchip, so as to eat and to avoid starvation and to evade even torture and death, while self-justifying themselves that in a hidden, non public way, they believe in Jesus, “him will I also deny before My Father Who is in heaven”! It is upsetting when we see these things because we begin to see that WE HAVE BEEN TOYED WITH, WE HAVE BEEN PLAYED WITH, WE HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT AS A COMMODITY in a sense, to be filled so that we can be sold to the highest bidder. Whoever does the best job of marketing gets the person. This is not the way it is meant to be. And this is not the purpose and the whole thrust of why we have been given the great gift of communication. But that is where we are today. So we have to be smart about it; we have to look at it and see it and channel our anger so that we can use the energy that is created by that outrage to move the train forward as God intended it to be. We have seen this too with political agendas, with new world views, that have been thrusted and hoisted upon us today as well. We see this being used in the elections also! THESE RUTHLESS MANIPULATORS CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF TERMS SO AS TO PUSH FORTH THEIR CULTURE OF DEATH. There are institutes which have lots of money, and many of these institutes have an agenda, they want to use their money to advance a certain ideology. So they will begin to use that money in such a way that they can entice, let’s use the medical profession, or the pharmaceutical company, or whoever it might be. Then we are not even sure if we are getting truth from, let’s say the medical establishment, because some doctors say, “hello”, there is no such thing as a pre-embryonic state, “hello”. That’s not true; that is not science. But this redefinition of the embryo happened in Missouri in 2008, and in many other states. The child in the womb was changed to “a piece of tissue” or whatever. THERE IS A REAL SCHIZOPHRENIA HERE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO THE LIFE ISSUES. People do not know how to refer to anything anymore. When there was found a baby in the sanitation dump in Orlando, Florida that was somewhere between 4 or 5 months of gestation, the baby was referred to as a fetus, because they do not want to admit that the child is a child; they want to call it something else, because they cannot talk about the baby as being a baby unless they want the baby, in which case it is a baby. But in the report the police were looking for the mother, but you cannot be a mother to a blob of tissue! This very statement is a cognitive dissidence, regardless of what fetus actually does means. In Latin it means a little person; nobody thinks of it that way. It divorces the reality of what it is, a baby, that is filled with all kinds of connotations and warm regard. They depersonalize it; BUT THEN THE POLICE WERE LOOKING FOR THE MOTHER OF THIS PIECE OF TISSUE. It makes no sense. But we hear this all day long; we take it into our being all day long. In politics, Richard Weaver said that THE ABILITY TO NAME, to give something a name, like Adam in the Garden of Eden, IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING THAT YOU HAVE. And so what you always have, when you take the product, you name it in a way that you can sell it. The Employment Non-discrimination Act and Hate Crimes, everything in there is already illegal. It is about rights for everybody and for victims. But the only thing that those two bills add is homosexuality as a protected class. SO THEY ALWAYS SELL THE BIGGER PACKAGE TO SNEAK IN WHAT THEY WANT. This reminds me of the Health Care Bill, which of course was promoted using good motives and terms, but ended up forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion and creating a much greater national debt as well as shifting money, power and decision making to the Washington beurocrats who could care less about your suffering mother! And what you hear a lot in politics these days, particularly among extreme social movements, is it is always about rights versus what is right. And you never talk about the actual activity that is going on. You never talk about abortion. You never talk about what homosexual sex is, who they have it with and how often. You never talk about what actual happens such as regarding embryos. To use an analogy, do aardvarks grow from acorns? If an acorn is planted, it is going to grow into an oak tree, not a plum tree, not an aardvarks. But it is always away from the issue to distract people to want to do the right thing according to their agenda. So the product or the idea that is being sold is always framed in a way, where you, not being an expert, but you are hearing these messages over and over again, you come to believe that the right thing is what they are selling you even if it is an outright lie. AND THE LANGUAGE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO MAKE YOU THINK IT IS THE RIGHT THING, THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE. There are three other marketing techniques that are used: desensitize, jam, and convert. DESENSITIZATION is really the first stage. In advertising there is something called reaching frequency. Desensitization is kind of the opposite of that. Where you move from there is something that is a lot meaner marketing technique. And that is something called JAMMING. You normally find this in social movements. Do you want to be called a racist? Of course not. Jamming is a
