2010 Uprisings just a start, Revolt 2011 coming?

A news item from RT. There is no doubt the current system is collapsing. Our people must create our New Society from the bottom up. We must create new structures. The Irish people are being spiritually regenerated. There are sacrifices to be made and the struggle continues. The enemies are known. Capitalism and Communism are both killing our culture, our people. Make no mistake. It is a minority who are fighting for the faith and the Nation. Remember our thoughts without action are a waste of time.

 

A Happy New year to all readers, supporters and friends. Keep up the fight in 2011.

“Wonderful,Counsellor”

Happy St. Stephen's Day to you all. The following is the weekly column of Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX.

 

ELEISON  COMMENTS  CLXXX  (Dec. 25,2010) : "WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR"

Christmas Day is a suitable moment to recall why we may and should rejoice in the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He and he alone can solve all the real problems of men, which go back to the very beginnings of mankind, and which are graver than ever today.

This is because all real problems of men involve sin. Any purely material disorder only becomes serious if it is in some way spiritual, for instance if a physical illness makes a man curse or bless. And anything spiritual that goes on inside me is only a disorder if it is in some way a sin. For instance Job lamented bitterly his physical afflictions, but his lamenting was not sinful. As for sin, it is a disorder or offence primarily against God, secondarily against self and only thirdly against neighbour.

Therefore all real problems of men which are not merely material problems, are problems of men having offended God. A terrible example is provided by a woman who has committed an abortion. Superficially her problem is solved. The baby is out of the way, and her life is "back to normal". But deep down, either she hardens her heart (and joins in a world coming to hate and suppress Christmas), or she knows and admits to herself that she has done something terribly wrong. Either way something in her is more or less twisted out of true for the rest of her days, and many such women, even if they are Catholics and know by their Faith that God has forgiven them through sacramental Absolution, can still be tormented, such is the wound that the sin has inflicted on their souls. Nor is abortion the worst of sins. Sinning directly against God is graver.

Grim thoughts for Christmas Day ?  Yes and no. The problem of sin is grim, but the joy of knowing that it has a real solution is correspondingly great. If the poor girl goes to confession, almost every Catholic priest will do all he can to persuade her that if she is truly sorry for her sin (with a sorrow of Peter and not of Judas Iscariot), then through his absolving her she may not doubt that God has forgiven her. How many penitents then walk out of the confessional with a sense of relief and joy that nothing else can give them, because offending God was at the heart of their torment, and they know that God has forgiven them.

And where did this joy take its beginning ?  In the certainty that God took a human nature from a Jewish maiden, lived upon earth and gave us, amongst other sacraments, that of Penance, deriving its force from the merits of his Passion and Death, which he endured only with the help of the same maiden and mother. But how could he have died unless he had been born ?  It all began with his human birth from the Blessed Virgin Mary - Christmas.

So the solution of all the world's most terrible problems of my fellow-men and myself is available. No wonder Catholics are joyful. No wonder there is a special joy available even to disbelievers at Christmastime -- so long as they have not yet hardened their hearts.

                           Kyrie eleison

Happy Christmas!

O God, whose praise the martyred Innocents
on this day confessed, not by speaking, but
by dying: destroy in us all the evils of sin,
that our life also may proclaim by deeds Thy faith
which our tongue professes. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, thy Son, who together with Thee liveth and

Capitalism Unfolding

The weekly column of Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX.

Capitalism Unfolding, Eleison Comments CLXXIX

Selfishness cannot make a society. Now money represents essentially its owner's claim upon the services of the rest of his society. If then capitalism be defined, in anything more than just economic terms, as a way of organizing society whereby every citizen is to be left free to make as much capital, i.e. money, as he can and will, then capitalism is riddled with contradiction. It is trying to make a society requiring selflessness out of encouraging everybody to be selfish.

Thus capitalism can only survive for as long as members of a capitalist society still have pre-capitalist values, such as common sense, moderation in the pursuit of money, and respect for the common good. But capitalism as defined above does nothing to promote any such pre-capitalist values. On the contrary, it works against them, as selfishness works against selflessness. Therefore capitalism is a parasite, living off a social body whose pre-capitalist values it works to undermine.

This internal contradiction of a society built upon the pursuit of money is reaching its devastating conclusion in the present state of world finance and the world economy. Since the end of World War II especially, the peoples of the world have more and more sought money to provide the material comforts they now prefer to the spiritual comforts that formerly gave purpose to their lives. Admiring and seeking money, they have been happy to let the money-men take power over their societies. Admired and sought after, the money-men have taken to themselves more and more money and power. After all, what intrinsic brakes do money or power have to limit their own further acquisition ? None. The bankers turn into veritable gangsters.

Hence, for instance, the invention 10 or 15 years ago of "derivatives", financial instruments which make a fortune in fees for the banksters who purvey them, but which act upon the delicate mechanisms of world finance like weapons of mass destruction, because they easily fabricate an unreal world of colossal and unpayable debt. In this destabilized and fraudulent world of unpayable debt, a semblance of order is maintained by one government after another fabricating out of thin air vast quantities of "money" to "pay" the debt, but this process can only end up in an inflation which empties of any usefulness the currency involved. Thus all the world's paper and digital money - for years it has had no other - is now doomed.

But money is to a society what lubricating oil is to an engine. Without oil, an engine seizes up and is killed dead. Without money in a society, exchange becomes much more difficult, and commerce can be slowed to a standstill. If for any such reason the food-trucks (or lorries) could not run, and food ran short, especially in the big cities, what could a politician do to head off the food riots, and to stop the peasants from coming after him with pitchforks ? Start a war !
World War III may not be far off. Lord, have mercy !
Kyrie eleison.

Krahgate Revisited

New information has emerged in relation to the story on Maximilian Krah  and Menzingen. See the link for more details.

http://z10.invisionfree.com/Ignis_Ardens/index.php?showtopic=6517&hl=

Re-reading recently the initial posting of William of Norwich, I came to realise that it was a positive gold mine of information. But, like gold mines, it was necessary to do a lot more digging so as to find the true nuggets of value present. Therefore, this posting may be quite long, but I hope that it will be fruitful and that it will serve the cause of truth.
The first thing that I would recommend to those who are disturbed or worried about the facts surrounding Krahgate is to take a look around the Emba-Global website in order to discover precisely what this Business School is all about. You may access it at www.emba-global.com

Here is how the sales pitch of this company starts:
“The EMBA-Global programme brings together an elite international network of business
professionals. Through the world-renowned faculty and unique global curriculum they have
exclusive access to the most illuminating ideas, ground-breaking research and innovative
international business practices. Whether students choose EMBA-Global Americas and
Europe or EMBA-Global Asia, together they will help create the future of global business.”
There is nothing unusual here folks, but take away with you that it is all about “going global.”
Under the section “Global Network” this idea is reinforced in this way:
“EMBA-Global students typically operate at an international level, working from different offices around the world, or managing teams in different locations. They represent an array of functions, sectors and nationalities. However, they share a keenness to challenge common perspectives and think on a global scale.”
Take away with you the idea that all those participating in this course are thinking globally and want to act globally.
Under the same section read this:
“On completing EMBA-Global, you become a life-long member of an exceptional, international alumni network totalling more than 75,500. Right from day one of the programme, you have access to this unparalleled pool of knowledge, business experience and networking opportunities.”
Take away with you the idea that this is no mere business school, but one that has as its intention to create a global managerial elite that will stay in touch with one another in the various businesses that their students embrace.

Under the section “Programme Details” read:
“Core courses are taught in a residential study block format that means you study over several consecutive days per month - alternating between London and New York.”
Take away with you the idea that you can drop in and see your friends fundraising for Tel Aviv University. Convenience itself – killing two birds (perhaps even Palestinians who are not “friends” of Tel Aviv University) with one stone!
From the same section read this:
“EMBA-Global has one intake each May and runs for 20 months.”
In the section on “Admission Requirements” please note:
“The calibre and diversity of EMBA-Global students is one of the key strengths that differentiates the programme from the world's other executive MBAs. The admissions process ensures that you will be studying alongside the brightest and the best.”
Take away with you the idea that this is the place to be for globalist wannabees.
In the same section, note some of the other requirements:
“a successful career trajectory with progressive experience over a number of years, managing people, projects, budgets or other resources.”
“transnational responsibilities or evidence that you are working towards these.”
“a worldwide perspective, with international exposure and aspirations, and an interest in building global networks.”

Go to the section on “Fees” and read:
The fees for the May 2011 intake of the EMBA-Global Americas and Europe programme are $144,156* (the equivalent of roughly £93,000 or €110,000.)
Fees include:
• Tuition
• Course materials, including most textbooks
• Accommodation for all teaching blocks through the first three terms
• Accommodation for the required International Seminar or Assignment.**
The first * indicates that fees may change at any time. The second ** indicates “One International Assignment or Seminar is included in the tuition fee. You may take one additional Seminar or Assignment, provided seats are available. If you choose to undertake an additional International Assignment or Seminar, there is a fee of US$4,000. Airfare for all study blocks and International Seminars and Assignments is the responsibility of the student.”
Needless to say, additional seminars and assignments are “encouraged” in order to boost your “networking experience.” But take away with you this idea: that the fees are extortionate for a five term, twenty month course. However it should be noted that if you, or the company that you work for, has the money to undergo this training you are clearly one of “the brightest and the best.”
Go and look at the section, Emba-Global Class of 2012, and look at the list of companies who have people registered on this course, which we are told leads to “friendships for life built through this intense transformational experience” - Citigroup, Maersk, MTV, Ericsson, HSBC Bank, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, Goodyear, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Nomura Holdings, CBS, Deutsche Bank, Hoffman La Roche, World Bank BASF, Merrill Lynch, Barclays Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse.
One final point before we cut to the chase.

Under “admission requirements,” it says:
“Employer support for the time you will be out of the office is required to apply to the programme. You must provide a signed letter from an authorised person within your company stating that they agree to allow you the required time away from the office to complete the programme. The authorised person may be your department head, president, CEO or head of HR.”
I regret that the run-up to the point has been lengthy, but the background is vital in understanding the portrait being painted. We are, naturally, coming to understand the background of Mr. Krah as a member of the Emba-Global Class of 2012.
In the Class of 2012 mug shots that you can access online, you will see that a standard format has been used: the student’s name, the student’s nationality, the student’s professional position, and then the company worked for. This is where things become interesting for avid students of Krahgate.
Max gives his name and nationality and profession, the latter being “lawyer.” The obvious company that ought to appear here is the legal firm of which he is a partner:
Link: Fetsch Rechtsanwälte http://www.dasoertliche.de/?id=10700323337...&arkey=14612000
Surprisingly it is not. Well then, ought it not to be Dello Sarto given that he is listed as the Manager of that company?

Link: Dello Sarto AG
http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl...D813%26prmd%3Db
It ought to be, but it is not. He lists as his employer the Jaidhofer Privatstiftung, the private Austrian Foundation, founded in 2006 by the SSPX. Why this choice? There must be a reason, but there cannot be many. Could it be that his legal business is not doing well, or could it be that alongside Citigroup, Microsoft and Credit Suisse, it looks rather puny, specially for someone who clearly wants to be among “the brightest and the best”? Whatever the reason, why not Dello Sarto given that he is listed as the Manager of that newly minted entity? Perhaps it too does not cut the ice? Why? Perhaps we need to scroll up a page or two to remind ourselves of something – that one of the entry requirements is “a successful career trajectory with progressive experience over a number of years, managing people, projects, budgets or other resources.” Clearly, for poor Max to get into the circle of “the brightest and the best” he had to demonstrate that he had wide experience and was used to handling “budgets” [meaning serious money] and it is plain that his peers at Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and the rest have that experience in aces.
Go back to Emba-Global Class of 2012 and read the profiles of any selection of the students, and you should be struck by one thing: that the Jaidhofer Privatstiftung looks totally out of place if it is just a small business legal structure to aid the growth of the SSPX. When Max sat down to fill out his online application form, he would have been forced to choose the business structure that presented him to his potential Emba-Global colleagues in the best possible light.

One thing is for sure. Given that the Jaidhofer Privatstiftung is listed as his employer it means per his application - “Employer support for the time you will be out of the office is required to apply to the programme. You must provide a signed letter from an authorised person within your company stating that they agree to allow you the required time away from the office to complete the programme. The authorised person may be your department head, president, CEO or head of HR” – THAT SOMEONE AT THE HEAD OF THIS SPPX FOUNDATION AUTHORISED KRAH’S ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAMME.

This undeniable fact – because like so much else that has been brought to light is in the public domain – leads to a number of questions:
1. Who in authority signed this letter?
2. Why was he given this letter?
3. What possible benefit could the SSPX hope to gain by enrolling this Zionist agent on a massively expensive course designed for recruitment to a global managerial elite in thrall to the New World Order and its worship of Mammon?
4. Did Krah pay for this course out of his own pocket or did the Foundation pay?
5.If he did, is the Jaidhofer Privatstiftung paying for his time when he is not working for them?
But the big question is this: WHAT IS THE JAIDHOFER PRIVATSTIFTUNG, AND WHY DID KRAH BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD LOOK GOOD ON HIS APPLICATION TO EMBA-GLOBAL? THIS IS THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: WHAT IS THE JAIDHOFER PRIVATSTIFTUNG, AND WHAT WAS THERE ABOUT IT THAT CONVINCED THE EMBA-GLOBAL CROWD THAT MAX WAS ONE OF THEIR KIND? ANSWER THAT QUESTION, AND WE MAY BE CLOSE TO ANSWERING WHY A ZIONIST HAS SO MUCH CONTROL OF THE SSPX’S FINANCES AND WHY THE SPIRIT OF ARCHBISHOP LEFEBVRE HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY AND OBVIOUSLY PUSHED ASIDE IN FAVOUR OF AN INDULT-LIKE “TRADITIONALISM”

Interesting facts about Fidartis Revisions AG:
One of the company’s signature authority is a Mr. Peter Josef Müller
Some interesting facts regarding Mr. Peter Josef Müller :-
Director of Company: Laetitia AG since 29-5-09
Administration board signatory of Laetitia AG: Maximilian Krah (individual signatory)
Peter Josef Müller replaced Peter Hochstrasser on the Board of Fidartis Revisions AG on the 9-7-10 with him having Joint Signatory Authority. Furthermore, Dello Sarto AG appointed Fidartis Revisions AG as auditors the month previous.
Whoever the anonymous source was, I thank you for your diligence in getting to the root of what is becoming more and more of an enigma. For the record, I would like to draw the attention of readers to the following small, but significant, points.

1. Both Muller and Krah joined the Board of Laetitia AG on May 29, 2009, and both have individual signatory rights. In fact the company was actually registered commercially on that very day.
2. The address of Laetitia AG is given as c/o Bader Law Firm, Grafenauweg 6, 6304, Zug/Train, Switzerland. “Zug” is the German for the town, “Train” the French name. A number of other firms, not associated with the SSPX, also operate from this address, and which give the Bader Law Firm as their point of reference. It would appear, therefore, that this address is little more than a brass plate on a postal box. Why not just list the law firm’s address in Zurich, specially given that any mail to Zug/Train is going to be redirected anyway?
3. Interestingly, the address of Dello Sarto, of which Krah is the named Manager, is exactly the same as that of Laetitia AG. Moreover, when you click on “Contact” for Dello Sarto or for Laetitia AG at http://www.moneyhouse.ch you find that there is no telephone number, fax number, email address or website listed.
4. In other words, Laetitia was commercially registered as a company in Switzerland just ten days before Fidartis Revisions AG took over as auditors of Dello Sarto AG, and Muller joined the board of Fidartis just one month later. A lot of legal/commercial work in such a short time.
If you wish to check out most of the details on companies given here, go to http://www.moneyhouse.ch
and type whatever it is you need to confirm.

5.A Google search for “Bader Law Firm, Switzerland” brings up nothing obvious, but google “BADERTSCHER Rechtsanwälte AG (Zurich)” and you will find it at
http://www.internationallawoffice.com/dire...47-4d5d5e739909.
Here is the content of the page. Please read it through to the end in order to grasp that the company associated with the SSPX-affiliate Dello Sarto is one more of those who are dedicated “to global interests and networks.”

Firm Description
BADERTSCHER is a nationally and internationally reputed Swiss law firm.
Our attorneys are members of the Zurich and the Swiss Bar Association as well as of various international law associations.
Most of them have an American or English post graduate degree and/or working experience abroad.
Our offices are located downtown Zurich.

BADERTSCHER is committed to the future, dedicated to quality and growth, involved in the rapid and important commercial and legal developments.
We advise in private and public law, focusing on commercial law.
Our clients are Swiss and foreign corporations, private individuals and governmental organizations.
Just like our clients, we are positioned at the forefront of events: one of our strengths is competent advice in new and complex areas of the law.
Specialization and commitment to quality and effective solution-oriented advice enable our attorneys to follow the rapid developments and to support our clients with our expertise in interdisciplinary fields such as restructuring, privatisations and cross-border transactions.
We stand for a continuous professional training of our attorneys, including post graduate programs.
Our attorneys also contribute to the academic and legal policy developments by publishing on a regular basis on the most current legal issues and by participating in national and international associations, experts commissions and seminars.

Part of the global legal marketplace
Close cooperations with leading foreign law firms without being bound to any exclusivity allow us to always offer the best quality legal services to our clients also in complex transactions involving several jurisdictions.
We also maintain well-established contacts with experts in fields other than law.
The languages skills of our attorneys enable us to render our services in English, German, Italian, French and Hebrew.

ONE FINAL OBSERVATION:
It is noteworthy that this firm deals in the international commercial language, Hebrew. More significant, however, is the question: WHO ADVISED THE SSPX TO ENLIST THIS LEGAL FIRM AND WHY? Is it really the case that the preservation of the Society’s patrimony and the raising of money – small sums according to Fr. Laisney’s recent posting – for the expansion of the Society’s work requires such high-powered and expensive lawyers, or is that I have misunderstood something and all these people are giving their time and effort free of charge, or even, “members of our faithful”?

Making Money from Asylum Seekers in Ireland

 

A Dublin based solicitor Con Pendred speaks about Asylum Seekers in Ireland. The asylum process in Ireland is a scam and has meant a big profit for Solicitors such as Con Pendred. Irish people are well aware of how destructive asylum seeking and mass immigration as been for the Nation. Taxpayers are paying the wages of such men as Pendred and those behind the multi-culti project in Ireland. Enough is enough.

Protest at Irish Family Planning Association in Dublin

A protest organised by Youth Defence is being held  this afternoon outside the Irish Family Planning Association office on Cathal Brugha Street in Dublin. You can read the link here. http://www.youthdefence.ie/latest-news/urgent-pro-life-protest-tomorrow/

The Irish Family Planning Association, who make a fat profit each year in their support for abortion/contraception sponsored the recent case that featured in the European Court of Human Rights.

The Irish Family Planning Association, Marie Stopes and others will be resisted and challenged. Their agenda will be countered.

In the Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

Snow on snow,

In the bleak midwinter,

Long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold him,

Nor earth sustain;

Heaven and earth shall flee away

When he comes to reign;

In the bleak midwinter

A stable place sufficed

The Lord God Almighty,

Jesus Christ.

Enough for him, whom Cherubim

Worship night and day

A breast full of milk

And a manger full of hay.

Enough for him, whom angels

Fall down before,

The ox and ass and camel

which adore.

Angels and archangels

May have gathered there,

Cherubim and seraphim

Thronged the air;

But his mother only,

In her maiden bliss,

Worshipped the Beloved

With a kiss.

What can I give him,

Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd

I would bring a lamb,

If I were a wise man

I would do my part,

Yet what I can I give Him —

Give my heart.

Peter Josef Müller replaced Peter Hochstrasser on the Board of Fidartis Revisions AG on the 9-7-10 with him having Joint Signatory Authority. Furthermore, Dello Sarto AG appointed Fidartis Revisions AG as auditors the month previous.
Can anyone see a potential issue here? There is an obvious red flag when an auditor has a close business relationship with a person who has a single signatory authority within the company that has appointed those auditors. Not suggesting anything inappropriate has occurred, except for the fact that this needs to be noted for any potential conflict of interests.

Now to move on to another “interesting” company. “STPI Société tradition Patrimoine Immobilier Sàrl”
Board of Directors:  See:

The great Catholic activist and our friend, Ted Atkinson from Norfolk is being prosecuted again. This time, it is for breaking the terms of his ASBO (anti social behaviour order) - he is 79 years old, so possibly the oldest ASBO in the country! His crime is for awaking some charities, who send him unsolicited letters, to the horrors of abortion. His case will be heard on 20th December 2010 at Kings Lynn Court. Please remember him in your prayers this day.

Truth Liberates

The weekly column of His Lordship Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX.

ELEISON  COMMENTS  CLXXVIII  (Dec. 11, 2010) : TRUTH   LIBERATES.

The argument of the last three numbers of "Eleison Comments" (175-177), has been merely provoked by the French painter Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), because he is by no means the worst of modern artists. That argument has not been that God exists, so modern art is "bosh" (see Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited", I, 6). Rather it has been, modern art is bosh, so God exists. There is an important difference here between descending from the cause to the effect and climbing from the effect to the cause.

If I start from the existence of God as a given, and reason downwards to the wrongness of, for instance, modern art, modern music, modern opera productions, etc., firstly God and his existence are not thereby proved, and secondly his religion can seem to come down on us like a wheel-clamp upon our liberty. Now I am me, and whatever it is that is me wants to be free to choose what art I like. But here comes a Traffic Warden supposedly from Heaven to clamp that freedom?  No thank you !

If on the other hand I start out from my own experience of modern art, I am firstly starting out from what I directly know. And if my experience of it is, honestly, dissatisfactory - that is not necessarily the case, but if it is - then I can begin to wonder why I feel such unease in front of highly praised modern artists. I listen again to the praises. I am still not convinced. Why not ?  Because modern art is ugly. What is wrong with ugliness ?  It lacks beauty. And if I continue to climb through the beauty of, for instance, landscapes or women as portrayed in art, to their beauty in Nature, to a harmony of parts running through all creation, my thoughts have climbed from my personal experience a considerable way towards the Creator.

In this latter case he bears no more resemblance to a traffic warden.with wheel-clamps. On the contrary, far from clamping down on our freedom, he seems to be leaving us human beings with free-will to proclaim ugliness through the land and to create a world of chaos. Maybe he is hoping that the ugliness will become horrible enough to turn our thoughts towards the True and the Good. At this point his religion resembles no longer any clamp from outside on our liberty within, but rather a help and liberator of all that is best in me from all that is worst, because unless I am proud, I am bound to admit that not everything inside myself is ordered and harmonious.

At which point supernatural grace is no longer conceived of as a kind of policeman landing on the back of my nature to control by force whatever it does. Rather it is a very good friend that will, if I wish, enable the best in me to liberate itself from the worst, or at least strive to do so.

Was not, and is not still, one driving force behind Vatican II and the Conciliar religion, the widely shared sense of Catholic Tradition being a sort of unbearable policeman, as though all natural impulses are bad ? Yes, the impulses of my fallen nature are bad, but there is good in our nature underneath that bad, and this good must be allowed to breathe, because from inside us it synchronizes perfectly with the true religion of God coming from outside. Otherwise I fabricate a false religion out of my bad impulses - like Vatican II.

Rivoluzione Italiana, dall'abisso alla rinascita

 

European court to rule on Irish abortion laws

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/1210/1224285194291.html

THE EUROPEAN Court of Human Rights will next week issue a ruling on whether Ireland’s restrictions on abortion violate women’s human rights.

The ruling, which could have significant implications for Irish abortion law, is based on a case taken by three women in Ireland who say their health was put at risk by being forced to go abroad for abortions.

The court is due to issue its ruling at a public sitting of the court’s grand chamber next Thursday, rather than a more common written judgment.

The Strasbourg-based court, which is separate from the EU, adjudicates on human rights issues among all 47 member states of the Council of Europe.

As a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights – now incorporated into Irish law – the Government is obliged to remedy any breaches of the convention.

The identities of the women – known as A, B and C – are confidential.

Two of them are Irish and one is a Lithuanian national who was residing in Ireland.

All of them travelled to the UK to have an abortion after becoming pregnant unintentionally.

They include a woman who ran the risk of an ectopic pregnancy, where the foetus develops outside the womb; a woman who received chemotherapy for cancer; and a woman whose children were placed in care as she was unable to cope.

The ruling could have significant implications for abortion law in Ireland.

All judgments of the court are binding on the state involved, meaning that signatories are expected to change their laws to accommodate the rulings.

If the court rules that the women’s rights were breached, it is likely the Government would be under pressure to legislate for abortion under the circumstances of the 1992 “X” case, where the Supreme Court ruled that terminating a pregnancy was lawful where the life and health of the mother were at risk.

Equally, however, the court could rule that the availability of medical treatment, support and advice in Ireland meant the women’s rights were not breached; or that the applicants should have their cases heard first in Irish courts to satisfy the requirement of the convention to avail of all domestic legal remedies.

The women – supported by the Irish Family Planning Association – argued before the court last December that they were subject to indignity, stigmatisation and ill-health as a result of being forced to travel abroad for their abortions.

The Government, however, robustly defended the laws and said that Ireland’s abortion laws were based on “profound moral values deeply embedded in Irish society”.

It argued that European Convention on Human Rights had consistently recognised the traditions of different countries regarding the rights of unborn children.

However, it maintained that the women’s challenge sought to undermine these principles and align Ireland with countries with more liberal abortion laws.

In a statement yesterday, Dr Ruth Cullen of the Pro Life Campaign – which participated in the case as a third party – said the court had a strong duty to make clear the distinction between abortion and necessary medical treatments in pregnancy.

“The Pro Life Campaign hopes the court’s findings respect human life at all stages of development. After all, without the right to life all other rights are meaningless,” she said.

However, the Irish Family Planning Association’s chief executive, Niall Behan, said that the experiences of the three women illustrated the reality faced by thousands of women in Ireland every year.

“Clients attending for counselling with the IFPA continually express anger and frustration that they have to travel outside of the jurisdiction for health services they feel should be available to them at home,” he said.

Children searching in bins for food, says SVP

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/1209/1224285101038.html

DEPRIVATION: CHILDREN ARE now scavenging in bins for food, such is the dire level of poverty among some Irish families, the Kilkenny branch of the St Vincent de Paul society has said.

Its president Liam Heffernan said two five-year-old children were found searching through a bin in Kilkenny city in recent days by a social worker who contacted the HSE in relation to the case.

“We are seeing Third World conditions in the city, with two children found rooting through bins in search of food on High Street. I also saw an adult searching through a bin recently for food. I have never seen conditions so bad. People are going hungry and are in desperate need of fuel and there is a real chance that there could be an awful tragedy if people don’t act,” he said.

Brendan Dempsey, Cork regional president of the society, said he had seen adults but not children going through bins in Cork city. It was something he had noticed over the last couple of months, but not before.

“It’s years since I saw anybody rooting through bins but I do know that families are extremely hard pressed at the moment and there are children going to bed hungry,” he said. “I’ve been in houses where they literally had nothing in the fridge,” he added. These included families where both parents had lost their jobs.

“Social welfare will put food on the table but it’s not enough to pay a mortgage and utility bills.”

John Monaghan, national vice-president of the society, said he had not heard reports of children scavenging in bins for food before. “That really is a very extreme case. While I’m shocked to hear about those young children I’m not totally surprised. We are seeing families literally every week in probably every part of the country that are hungry,” he said.

“I can certainly understand how it could happen. We have members going into families with very little or no food in the house because they are struggling on social welfare and are in debt or struggling to pay the mortgage and everything else goes on the back burner.”

Children were going to school today in Dublin, he added, from houses with no heat or light and little food. Calls for support this year are up by an average of 35 per cent on 2009, and by more than 50 per cent in Cork and more than 40 per cent in Dublin, he said.

Mise Éire

A poem by Pearse that speaks of the selling out of Ireland.

Mise Éire
Sine mé ná an Chailleach Béara
Mór mo ghlóir
Mé do rug Cúchulainn cróga
Mór mo náir'
Mo chlann féin do dhíol a máthair.
Mise Éire
Uaigní mé ná an Chailleach Béara

I am Ireland
I am older than the Old Woman of Beare
Great my glory
I who bore Cuchulainn the valiant
Great my shame
My own children who sold their mother.
I am Ireland
I am lonlier than the Old Woman of Beare

Helen Thomas Skewers Zionists Again

http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/helenthomasskewerszionistsagain.htm

Helen Thomas, veteran Washington journalist and political insider, has done it again—spoken the whole truth about Jewish supremacism’s control of America. In a speech to an Arab-American group in Detroit she said,

I can call a president of the United States anything in the book but I can't touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank. No American would tolerate that -- white-only roads… We are owned by the propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about that. Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is…We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way.

Thomas defiantly stands by the statement that ended her journalistic career in May when she said the Israelis should “get the h--- out of Palestine” and “go home” to “Poland, Germany, and America, and everywhere else.” Now she says, “I paid the price for that. But it was worth it, to speak the truth.”

Of Lebanese Arab (Semitic) descent, Thomas answered the accusation that she is anti-Semitic.

I’d say I’m a Semite. What are you talking about…We all know the Arabs are maligned. They are automatically terrorists. I was called the Hizballah at the White House, Hamas, and everything else. But I never bowed to those kinds of slurs because I know who I am. I am an American.

Denying that Arabs in general are terrorists, Thomas said it was former Israeli leader “Menachim Begin who created terrorism. They bragged in his first book, about creating the modus operandi for terrorists.”

She adds that Zionists have to understand Palestine belongs to Arabs, too. “Palestinians were there long before any European Zionists.”

Thomas commented on the folly of appointing a Zionist Jew in charge of Mideast affairs. “Obama, he puts in charge for the Arab world a Zionist like Dennis Ross. You don’t put a Zionist in charge of the Muslim world in the White House.”

She also commented on the folly of US involvement in Mideast wars (fought to make the Mideast safe for Israel). Thomas said the war in Iraq was “built on lies.”

Seven years of war now with Iraq. They did nothing to us. They are totally innocent, and they were just demonized. I'm not saying Saddam Hussein wasn't a terrible man. But how many thousands of Iraqis did you kill, for what reason?…They've never explained the war. No weapons of mass destruction. No ties to Al-Qaeda. What is this? Why are we killing those people? And why are we there?

We teach our children to be good citizens, never kill, never lie, never do bad things, and yet in 3-4 weeks, we train them to go and kill people half way around the world, and still have yet to give them a good reason to kill and die.

ADL, World Net Daily Vilify Thomas

Predictably, the Anti-Defamation League issued an immediate protest, labeling Thomas anti-Semitic and calling for rescinding of all her many honors and awards from journalistic and educational institutions nationwide.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, said:

Helen Thomas has clearly, unequivocally revealed herself as a vulgar anti-Semite. Her suggestion that Zionists control government, finance and Hollywood is nothing less than classic, garden-variety anti-Semitism. This is a sad final chapter to an otherwise illustrious career. Unlike her previous, spontaneous remarks into a camera, these words were carefully thought out and conscious. It shows a prejudice that is deep-seated and obsessive.

While we will never know what the hidden trigger was that led Thomas to reveal her prejudice, it is troubling that for more than 60 years she has made a pretense of impartiality as a journalist with a large megaphone. It makes it even that much more horrendous and horrific that she is now using that megaphone to release her prejudice in its crudest, most vulgar form. Through her words and deeds she has besmirched both herself and her profession.

It is time for those schools and professional organizations that have honored Thomas in one form or another over the years to consider rescinding those honors in light of her pervasively anti-Semitic rhetoric. Professional associations and academic institutions should not want to be associated with an anti-Semite.

Ironically, Thomas’ remarks follow closely on virulent attacks by the Jewish Southern Poverty Law Center on 18 Christian/conservative watchdog organizations in America. SPLC is accusing them of being “hate groups” which government, police and media should especially monitor. ADL, piously instructing Tea Partiers in “civility and restraint,” breathes not a word of criticism of SPLC’s vicious stereotyping of the “homophobic” right.

Responses from Christian conservative leaders to SPLC’s attack are predictably weak. No one dares mention that SPLC is 100 percent Jewish, although SPLC repeatedly attacks Christians for what they are. Tony Perkins, head of Family Research Council, was the boldest. He demanded an apology from SPLC. Joseph Farah blusters but also can’t bring himself to utter the forbidden J-word. In fact, WorldNetDaily, quoting Foxman, joins ADL in mocking and deriding Thomas as anti-Semitic.

That leaves crusty, 90-year-old Helen Thomas as the only truth-teller among those violently attacked by ADL/SPLC over the past week. Not valuing her lost legacy of honors and position as a columnist for Hearst, she boldly proves that speaking the whole truth means the most to her. Of much greater courage and integrity than “Christian” leaders in America today, she may well be the bravest woman in public life in our time.

A little old lady shall lead them.

Truth about "Morning After" Pill

Mass immigration is the end for Ireland

Repatriation is the answer to the immigrant problem in Ireland. Yes to Repatriation

Sixpenny Art

The weekly column of His Lordship Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX.

ELEISON  COMMENTS  CLXXVII  (Dec.4, 2010) : SIXPENNY  ART.

The French painter Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) repudiates modern society for the sake of art, yet the art he made himself free to create does not seem to have brought him peace (EC 175). The English novelist Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) writes a version of Gauguin's life a few years later which seems to confirm both the repudiation and the lack of peace (EC 176). But why is the modern artist at odds with the society that he reflects, and that supports him ?  And why is the modern art he produces normally so ugly ?  And why do people persist in supporting ugly art ?

The artist as rebel goes back to the Romantics. Romanticism flourished alongside the French Revolution, which merely broke out in 1789, but has been pulling down throne and altar ever since. Modern artists, reflecting the society in which they live, as artists cannot help doing, steadily more repudiate God. Now if God does not exist, then surely the arts should have flourished serenely in their new-found liberty from that illusion of God that has dominated men's minds from time immemorial. Yet is modern art serene ?  Or is it not rather suicidal ?

On the other hand, if God exists, and if the artist's talent is a gift from God to be used for his glory, as countless artists from the past used to proclaim, then the godless artist will be at war with his own gift, and his gift will be at war with his society, and society will be at war with his gift. Is this not rather what we observe all around us, for instance the deep scorn of modern materialists for all the arts, beneath a pretence of respect ? 

If God exists, at any rate the questions asked above are easy to answer. Firstly, the artist is at odds with modern society because the breath of God within him that is his talent knows that his society is despicable insofar as it is godless. The fact that society supports him despite his scorn makes it merely more despicable. As Wagner once said when his increased orchestra meant eliminating a row of seats in the theatre, "Fewer listeners ?  So much the better!" Secondly, how can a gift from God that is turned against him produce anything harmonious or beautiful ? For anyone to find modern art beautiful he must reverse the meaning of words : "Fair is foul and foul is fair" (Macbeth) -- yet when did even a modern artist mistake ugliness for beauty in a woman ?  And thirdly, modern people will persist in their reversing the meaning of words because they are making war on God, and have no intention of letting up. "Rather the Turk than the tiara", said the Greeks just before the catastrophic fall of Constantinople in 1453. "Rather Communism than Catholicism", said American Senators after World War II, and they had their wish.

In brief, Wagner, Gauguin and Maugham and thousands of modern artists of all kinds are right to scorn our sixpenny Christendom, but the answer is not to make even more war on God with modern art. The answer is to stop making war on God, to give him again the glory due to him and to put Christ back into Christendom. How much more ugliness will it take for men to turn back to the tiara and to choose once more Catholicism ?  Will even World War III be enough ?

                                Kyrie eleison.
