“Gerry was taken to hospital yesterday, another [stent] put in, and he has been returned to prison. He is in a great deal of pain, tired and not feeling well. The doctors at the hospital said that he would have had another heart attack if he hadn’t been taken to hospital as soon as he was. The doctors are now attributing his poor health, heart wise, to the fact that he is not getting his heart medication on a consistent basis and they discovered that on occasion he was given the wrong medication. He is also suffering from lack of exercise, the proper diet, stress; and the unsanitary conditions within the prison is not helping his condition by any means. Gerry did say “the hospital staff was wonderful and treated him extremely well”. Upon Gerry’s departure, the staff wished him well and said they hoped he would be released soon. HAVE YOU WRITTEN TO SINN FEIN, OWEN PATERSON, DAVID CAMERON, DEMANDING THEY BE PRO-ACTIVE IN GETTING GERRY RELEASED ON A HUMANITARIAN BASIS ALONE, NOT TO MENTION HE HAS BEEN INCARCERATED ILLEGALLY?

Reach out to all the Human Rights organizations and ask them to be ‘pro-active’ in getting Gerry released due to serious health issue.

Please get busy. Thank you.

A Nationwide Counter Offensive Against NATO in Libya

A Nationwide Counter Offensive Against NATO-Al Qaeda-Rebel Building Up Across Oil-Rich Libya

Wednesday, 28 September 2011 11:22

The easiest solution was to say to the colonial powers in the beginning to come and take the oil from our people and stop the aggression: Muammar Ghaddafi

http://hamsayeh.net/images/stories/alphabetical/g/ghaddafi-loyalist-warfala.jpg

Hamsayeh.net -  A nationwide pro-Ghaddafi resistance movement is slowly gaining momentum as NATO-Al Qaeda and Rebel forces desperately pound southern Libyan cities loyal to Ghaddafi.

US-NATO have dispatched around 1500 foreign Al Qaeda mercenaries from Afghanistan to Libya when several hundreds of rebels were killed during recent offensive on Sirte, bani-Walid, Sabha and other towns loyal to Muamar Ghaddafi.  Also the all important oil town of Ras Lanuf has been liberated by Ghaddafi forces and that oil exports by the National Transitional Council (NTC) - initially destined for western  colonial masters - should now come to a standstill.

In addition thousand of tribal fighters from Southern Sahara region are joining Ghaddafi forces and the beginning of a fierce counterattack against NATO-Al Qaeda-Rebel positions is reportedly taking shape with counterattacks to commence in the next few days..

Meanwhile Muammar Ghaddafi  has just delivered his latest radio message on Bani-Walid radio in which he promised to launch massive counteroffensive to liberate all of Libya.

The following is Muamar Ghaddafi's latest speech posted on Mathaba website on Wednesday September 28, 2011.

Gaddafi's Speech: Zero Hour will Inevitably Come

To Libya and its free people:

“Glory to you, greatest heroes of the Libyan people! You carry a proud blood of your ancestors!  They  were telling lies that Gaddafi is in Venezuela, and than in Niger, but I’m here with you. There are also servants of the colonialists among our people, which I’m ashamed of.

Hold on and be prepared on a daily basis. I’m receiving calls from all the cities of our Jamahiriya territory, and the zero hour will inevitably come. People who were martyred are eternal. They fought and died for their country to be free of colonialism and chains. Just as their fathers wished for in 1969. Forward! Forward!

The easiest solution was to say to the colonial powers in the beginning to come and take the oil from our people and stop the aggression. But the blood of my ancestors and my father and my children and my grandchildren and all the young children and Libyan women and Libyan men and Sheiks, blood of all who were martyred by the bombs in this aggression, pushed us to the path of defiance and rejection of colonialism.

We have said and continue to say: This is the oil of the Libyan people, not French or British. This food belongs to people. It is not my property nor theirs, it belongs to the people!

The resistors await the martyrdom of the heroes, a martyrdom which is true to the verse. To some of you who are waiting, do not be sad, because that will make you weak.  Be patient for victory. Libya is not the first country in the world to be attacked by the planes and fleets of the largest coalition in the history of the world.  But they overlooked the fact that Libya has a history and that Libyans are the greatest nation on earth in their resistance, persistence and defiance of the aggression! Libya will never be for traitors. Libya will be a hell for them, and a hell for NATO, the west and its agents!

Crisis Films

$kulls The latest ‘Eleison Comments’ from Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX

ELEISON COMMENTS CCXIX (Sept. 24, 2011) : CRISIS FILMS


Two interesting films have already appeared about the arrival in the USA of the financial and economic crisis which has been threatening since 2008 to undermine the whole Western way of life. Both films are well made. Both are persuasive. Yet one says the bankers are heroes while the other says they are villains. If Western society is to have any future, the contradiction deserves thought.

The documentary film Inside Job consists of a series of interviews with bankers, politicians, economists, businessmen, journalists, academics, financial consultants, etc.. There emerges a frightening picture of greed and collusion in fraud at the top of American society in all these domains. Free enterprise was the justification for the financial de-regulation of the 1980's and 1990's, which gave to the money-men steadily more power until they were able to bring under their control all politicians or journalists or academics of influence. Thus a process of merciless plundering of the middle and working classes is still going on. The anger of the victims is building towards an explosion, but at least for the moment the money-men cannot stop gorging at the trough they have so well designed for themselves. "Greed is good. It makes the world go round," say the banksters.


In the second film, Too Big to Fail, the dramatic events of autumn 2008 centering around the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a major New York investment bank, are re-constructed. Hank Paulson, then Secretary of the US Treasury, is shown making a classic free enterprise decision by refusing a government bail-out to let Lehman Brothers go bankrupt. But the result is such a shock to the global financial community, threatening a meltdown of worldwide finance and commerce, that Paulson with his comrades in government and with the help of all the leading bankers of New York has to persuade the US Congress to approve a taxpayer bail-out of all the big banks which cannot be allowed to fail. He just succeeds. The system is saved. The government and bankers are the heroes of the day. Once again capitalism is proved to be the marvel we always knew it was -- thanks to socialist intervention !


Then are the bankers heroes or villains ? Answer, heroes at the very most in the short run, but certainly villains in the long run, because it needs very little common sense to realize that, all society requiring selflessness, no society can be built on greed, meaning selfishness. In any society there will always be the haves and the have-nots (cf. Jn.XII, 8). The managers of society who have the money and power absolutely must look after the masses who have neither, otherwise there will be revolution and chaos. Of course the globalists are planning on this chaos tomorrow to give them world power the day after, but while they may propose, it is God who disposes.


Meanwhile Catholics and anybody who cares about the future should go to see both films and then ask themselves some hard questions about capitalism and free enterprise. How on earth could capitalism be saved this time only by socialism ? Is government then really all that bad ? Is capitalism really all that good ? How can a society possibly depend on greedy men to survive ? How can it have got itself into such a dependency ? And is there any sign right now that anybody is asking such questions ? Or is everybody's worship of Mammon - let us call things by their name - proceeding unchecked ?


Unless Jesus Christ absolves men of their sins through his priests, no post-Incarnation system of society can ultimately work. Capitalism only ever lived off the Catholicism from earlier centuries. It is today's exhaustion of Catholicism that spells the death of capitalism.


Kyrie eleison.

Libya: Illustrious corpses—the truth is always revolutionary

A brief extract of article below.

September 25th 2011

Right now in Libya the UN recognized government and its NATO masters are bombing hundreds of civilians to death in Sirte, Bani Walid and Sabha. They have bombed schools and hospitals and murdered whole families. This infamy was sanctioned by the UN from the beginning and has been justified by many of the cream of international progressive intellectuals. It is long past time to identify and condemn these accomplices to the crimes against humanity in Libya committed by the Western elites and their puppet governments.

David Norris and paedophilia

The race is on for the next President of Ireland. David Norris is a candidate and his support for

paedophilia is documented. These are some of the main points he supports.

  • On child sexual abuse: ‘Children in some instances are more damaged by the condemnation than the experience’
  • Asked if incest was acceptable, he said there was a case to ban  it... but only for girls who might have an ‘undesirable’ pregnancy
  • On paedophilia: ‘There’s a lot of nonsense about paedophilia... I think there is a complete and utter hysteria about this subject’
  • Challenged on whether a child can give ‘informed consent’ to sex: ‘The law should take into account consent rather than age’

‘I cannot understand how anybody could find children of either sex the slightest bit attractive sexually. To me, what is attractive about people is the fact that they display the signs of sexual maturity.

‘But pre-pubescent children who lack any identifying characteristics of sexual maturity, I cannot understand why anybody would find them sexually appropriate. On the other hand – yes, they do find them so. But in terms of classic paedophilia, as practised by the Greeks, for example, where it is an older man introducing a younger man or boy to adult life, I think that there can be something to be said for it.’

‘Now again, this is not something that appeals to me, although when I was younger it would most certainly have appealed to me in the sense that I would have greatly relished the prospect of an older, attractive, mature man taking me under his wing, lovingly introducing me to sexual realities, and treating me with affection and teaching me about life – yes, I think that would be lovely; I would have enjoyed that.’

Norris, a queer also wrote letters of clemency in support of his former ‘partner’ who was found guilty of the statutory rape of a 15 year old Palestinian boy in 1992

 

Addressing a conference of the  Union for Sexual Freedom in Ireland in 1970s, David Norris told delegates ‘As a child, my great desire was to be molested’. He was a representative of the ‘Irish Gay Rights Movement’.

Libya: Cameron's 2-billion-pound nightmare

democracylibya

See article below.

 

What do you get when a wannabe imperialist invents a war to get out of trouble at home, straying into deep waters that he neither controls nor understands, getting embroiled in an internecine tribal conflict that spins out of control? The answer to this question is the place where the UK's David Cameron finds himself now: a 2-bn. pound nightmare.

Not so many months ago, we had David Cameron and William Hague declaring that the Libya Question was "not about removing Gaddafi" and that all it would take would be an immediate ceasefire from the Libyan Armed Forces. Not so many months ago we had David Cameron and William Hague declaring that the war would cost in the region of 200 million pounds, that there would be no NATO boots on the ground and that NATO would not arm the "rebels".

What they did not tell us was that the French and Americans had been planning this imperialist little adventure for years, what they did not tell us was that the rebel flags had been ordered well in advance from a British company, what they did not tell us was that the entire operation was indeed to remove Colonel Gaddafi, not because he posed any threat to his "rebels" (after all, what do you do when tens of thousands of marauding thugs armed with machine guns take to the streets, decapitating Negroes, chanting racist slogans, promising to ethnically cleanse Libya of Negroes, torching government buildings, raping and killing women and children and destroying public and private property?). They knew that the decision "to go in" had been taken long before the rebels strafed their own position to blame Colonel Gaddafi, they knew that their own media had been spreading lies about the Libyan Air Force bombing civilians - the one bombing civilians is NATO.

We saw the British reaction - draconian measures - when a few hundred bored schoolkids ran amok in August. One wonders whether Cameron would simply have given up and walked away from Number Ten Downing Street if they had been armed, or if someone had done to his youth what he did to Libya's.

What they did not tell us was that this entire charade is about removing Colonel Gaddafi from power because his humanitarian and developmental projects in Africa and his plan to launch a gold-based currency, the Gold Dinar, would be too costly for selfish western interests. What Cameron and Hague did not tell you is that their forces are to spend seven times more of the British tax-payers' money than they originally admitted - nearly two billion, or two thousand million or 2,000,000,000 pounds... on what?

I will tell you. They have strafed the Libyan water supply (war crime) to "break the back of the population", they have targeted the electricity grid (war crime), they have targeted private homes (war crime), they have taken out civilian structures with military equipment (war crime), they have murdered children (war crime, and they did not even apologise), they have targeted civilians (war crime). They then held a conference in Paris to divide up Libya's assets.

What they have also not told you is that the Libyan Armed Forces are largely intact. What they have not told you is that parts of Tripoli still fly the Green Flag (symbol of the Jamahiriya, the democratic government which Muammar al-Qathafi advises), what they do not tell you is that there are still green Marches in Benghazi, what they do not tell you is that Mahmoud Jibril dare not enter Tripoli. They do not tell you where Jalil (the number 2) came from, they do not tell you the background of the TNC, they do not tell you the tribes have voted for Gaddafi.

They do not tell you that the crack desert fighters, the Tuareg, who decide who crosses the desert and who does not, have sided with Muammar Gaddafi against the TNC, they do not tell you that the Loyalists in Libya include the hearts and minds of the Libyan population whether or not they are taking up arms against the terrorists. The NATO special forces and this scourge have frightened many into cowering in their homes - but this does not spell support, even tacitly.

They do not tell you they indeed have NATO boots on the ground (breach of UNSC resolution), they have indeed armed the "rebels" (breach of UNSC resolution) and they have indeed employed mercenaries - hundreds of thousands of them (breach of UNSC resolution).

They have not told you that NATO and its terrorists have suffered defeat after defeat in recent weeks, are unable to enter Bani Walid, are unable to enter Sirte and the only tactic that remains open is by carpet-bombing any areas of resistance, including homes, hospitals and schools, to bomb the terrorists in. Is that noble?

It is a war crime, it is an act of terrorism and David Cameron and William Hague, along with their French friend Sarkozy and that American in the White House, are using YOUR hard-earned money to perpetrate this outrage, which is sure to cost the UK thousands of jobs as retaliatory measures kick in across Africa.

Sorry Mr. Templeton, we do not have any money for your mother's cancer treatment, I am afraid she will have to die; sorry Mr. Johnson, there is no more funding for your son's leukaemia treatment, we do have palliative care, do you know what that is?

And as for your now hospital wing, new school, new clinic, a raspberry in your faces as Cameron and Hague stick the middle finger up to their own people. Yet the British population accepts it all with their heads bowed, like a sickening herd of sheep.

Nurses stage Limerick work stoppage

More and more people are fed up of politicians and their system. It should also be pointed out that Irish nurses are having to emigrate to find jobs whilst non Irish nurses are hired in hospitals around the country. Billions of euro has been wasted on asylum seekers and immigrants and the Irish health system is suffering. Money that could of been spent on hospitals.

http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0928/health.html

A four-hour work stoppage has been staged by nurses at the Emergency Department in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick.

The nurses are taking the action over what they describe as "gross overcrowding" at the hospital's Emergency Department and the effect it is having on patient safety.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he was concerned about the industrial action.

He said the latest figures for that hospital showed there were only six people on trolleys this morning, with another 41 in an overflow ward, awaiting assessment and admission.

He said hospital management had put proposals to the unions last night at the LRC, but they had not been accepted. Those talks were due to continue, he said.

Talks at the Labour Relations Commission which went on for five hours last night, failed to find a solution which may have halted the work stoppage.

While HSE management accepted the sincerity of the issues of patient safety raised by nurses, the moratorium on recruitment and the huge financial deficit in which the hospital finds itself, prevents them from addressing the issues in the immediate or medium term.

Mary Fogarty INMO Industrial Relations Officer said the reconfiguration process, which saw the consolidation of all emergency services in Limerick from Nenagh and Ennis, had failed as the additional 135 beds promised under that process had not materialised.

In addition, 100 acute beds in the hospital, and 174 elderly day care bed in other hospitals in the region, had closed.

She said it also emerged during last nights talks that €8m in funding for 13 additional consultants under a plan known as '100 plus', initiated by former Minister for Health Mary Harney, had never materialised for Limerick.

Nurses were joined on the picket line by colleagues from Galway University Hospital, who are also facing severe overcrowding in their emergency department as a result of taking in extra patients from Roscommon after its emergency department was closed.

Paul Bell Divisional Head of SIPTU said nurses in emergency departments across the country are under severe pressure and he could not rule out further industrial action this winter, as emergency departments face into their busiest period of the year.

Their action is the second four-hour stoppage at the hospital in eight days.

Nurses say both Minister for Health Dr James Reilly and the Heath Service Executive have failed to address their concerns.

Fianna Fáil's Health Spokesperson Billy Kelleher said Mr Reilly had failed to act to eliminate the chronic overcrowding despite his election promises and that Galway University Hospital, as well as Limerick, was also under severe pressure because of the closure of the Emergency Department at Roscommon County Hospital.

No plans to downgrade Portlaoise - Kenny

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has confirmed that there are no plans to downgrade Portlaoise Hospital despite rumours of a HSE plan to do so.

He was replying to the Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who said he had a HSE document that detailed plans that were the very opposite to Government promises about that hospital.

Mr Kenny said it was an important, busy hospital in the midlands and there were no plans to downgrade it.

Libya: NTC concocts mass grave story in brazen propaganda ploy

http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m81748&hd=&size=1&l=e

Updated September 25, 2011 – click here to go to the update.

In a truly stunning display of dishonesty, the BBC has reported, citing no evidence to back its claim, that a mass grave containing over 1,200 bodies has been found in Tripoli’s Abu Salim prison complex. The BBC attempts to tie this 'finding’ to the equally concocted 'Abu Salim prison massacre’, as it claims that the bodies are those of the inmates supposedly killed in 1996.

In a piece posted today after a NTC news conference, the BBC uses the headline: "More than 1,200 bodies found in Tripoli mass grave". Categorically, absolutely, unequivocally, this is an out-and-out lie; 1,200 bodies have not been found. Not a single body has been found. In fact, no excavation has been performed, and no more than 'several bone fragments’ have been discovered, according to the NTC.

This is revealed to the reader within the BBC’s own concocted report in the paragraphs that follow (emphasis mine):

A mass grave believed to contain up to 1,270 bodies has been found in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, says the National Transitional Council (NTC).

The remains are thought to be those of inmates who were killed by security forces in 1996 in the Abu Salim prison.

Excavation at the site is expected to start soon.

Several bone fragments and pieces of clothing have already been found in the top soil.

While the unelected, illegitimate terror council known as the NTC claims to have found merely 'several bone fragments', the BBC claims that 1,200 bodies have been found in its deliberately misleading headline.

Even this weak slew of lies from the BBC exposes the fragile nature of the 'Abu Salim massacre’ propaganda, as it refers to the evidential basis of the event (emphasis mine):

A few eyewitnesses have talked about the fact they were killed in their jail cells by grenades and sustained gunfire after a protest.

Officials in the new government say they will need foreign forensic help to determine exactly what happened there.

The BBC’s report contains testimony from a 'Sami Assadi’, who claims to have lost two brothers in the incident.

"Mixed feelings really. We are all happy because this revolution has succeeded, but when I stand here, I remember my brothers and many, many friends have been killed, just because they did not like Muammar Gaddafi."

The inclusion of this testimony is a blatant attempt to twist and distort the reality on the ground. The BBC suggests that the 'revolution’ has succeeded. In reality the 'rebels’ and the foreign soldiers & special forces leading them, don’t even hold Tripoli, in addition to countless other locations still held by the Libyan resistance. These include Bani Walid and Sirte – locations now subject to NATO-prescribed blockades in an attempt to starve the resistance into submission, coupled with lethal bombing campaigns.

In its crude attempt to deceive the public, the BBC even manages to contradict itself in this one-page report. The testimony it provides above suggests that the alleged victims of the 'Abu Salim massacre’ were killed because they "did not like Gaddafi", while the BBC itself claims earlier in the piece, that they were killed for protesting against conditions in the prison.

Associated Press has also picked up this story, citing rebel spokesperson Khalid al-Sherif: "We have discovered the truth about what the Libyan people have been waiting for for many years, and it is the bodies and remains of the Abu Salim massacre". As with the BBC piece, this report also admits that only a few bone fragments have been found and excavation has not even begun.

Most certainly, this 'mass grave’ propaganda will drop out of the news without retraction from the NTC liars or the media lackeys that peddled it, as it turns out to be an utter falsehood. 'Abu Salim’ is an event toted by globalist-Zionist funded Human Rights Watch as the trump card in the propaganda war against Libya. It is an event for which there is no physical evidence, and HRW’s report on the event hinges on the testimony of one person who is now residing in the United States. Laughably, HRW even admits that they cannot independently verify a single detail of the man’s claims.

Update: 25 September, 2011

Hat tip to @Cordeliers on this. CNN has chimed in, stating that the bones found did not even appear to be human:

It was unclear, however, whether the site actually was a mass grave, as no excavation has taken place. Members of the media were shown bones at the site, but medics with CNN staffers on the scene said the bones did not appear to be human.

Elderly priest suspended for denouncing abortion, homosexual behaviour

LifeSiteNews has the following news item.

Fr. Donat Gionet, C.J.M.

 

http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/elderly-canadian-priest-suspended-for-denouncing-abortion-homosexuality

BATHURST, New Brunswick, September 22, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Catholic Diocese of Bathurst, New Brunswick has removed an elderly priest from active ministry after he caused a storm of controversy by denouncing homosexuality, cohabitation, and abortion in an August homily.

85-year-old Fr. Donat Gionet had retired to his home town of Caraquet in June to serve palliative care patients, and now laments that in his declining years he is being forced to celebrate Mass “in secret.”

Fr. Wesley Wade, the diocese’s vicar general, told Radio-Canada that Fr. Gionet’s comments were consistent with Church teaching, but lacked the proper “pastoral” sensitivity.

“It was mainly the pastoral approach that was lacking,” Fr. Wade said.  “A lack of respect, perhaps, for the people identified, for the groups of people as well, which caused a division in the community.  It was a difficult decision.”

Fr. Wade did not return numerous calls from LifeSiteNews over two days.

A member of the Eudist Fathers, Fr. Gionet had been accused by parishioners of “homophobia” in media reports last week after he criticized a homosexual parade in Moncton in an August 20-21 homily.  His loudest critic was the mayor of Saint-Leolin, Joseph Lanteigne, an open homosexual and member of the parish council, who demanded the priest’s suspension.

In an open letter Thursday, Fr. Gionet laments that the diocese did not give him an opportunity to explain himself before suspending him.

“To you, the diocesan authorities: did you ask me what I said exactly during the homily in question?” the priest asks.  “They did not, but only listened to people who are frustrated.”

When asked if he would continue making similar comments, he says he can only respond “yes.”  “And if they asked me about the homily, in its entirety, I could not say ‘no’ because for me it is important to speak the truth,” he insists.

He explained that in the August homily he noted that while “the gates of hell” seek to destroy the Church, it is, in fact, Catholics who “destroy our Church” today.  He pointed to the high number of abortions among Catholics and the presence of homosexuality in the Church.  He emphasized that cohabitating couples and homosexuals ought not to receive the Eucharist, but are still welcome to join the Church at Mass.

“After these reflections, there were no other allusions whatsoever,” he says, adding that in the homily he went on to speak of the power of forgiveness offered through the Church.

The priest said that he is now living “like the first Christians did at the beginning of the Church: they had to hide in the catacombs to pray or celebrate the Eucharist.”

The Diocese has released a letter to the faithful explaining the suspension, according to French-language media reports.  Bishop Valery Vienneau explains that the priest had refused to alter his statements, and the bishop expressed regret that the comments had upset the faithful.

Vincent Reynouard Released from Prison

He was released from prison in April of this year.

http://csvr.wordpress.com/

 

Hail Sylvia Stolz!

A repost from the blog of Prof Faurisson. Sylvia Stolz was released earlier this year.

http://robertfaurisson.blogspot.com/2011/04/hail-sylvia-stolz.html

A noble cause like that of historical revisionism needs a noble figure to embody it: Sylvia Stolz, whose surname in German means “proud,” is that figure.

There are revisionists of all origins, all characters, all tendencies, all beliefs. Some are made for research and others for action. Some concern themselves with strategy and tactics whilst others opt for the most candid and direct statements. Most of them consider that a revisionist out of prison is more useful to the cause than a revisionist in prison. I am not far from sharing that opinion; however, after some thought, I believe I need, as a proper revisionist, to look at or re-examine such an idea more closely. Without going so far as to claim that a revolution like the revisionist revolution needs martyrs – a preconception which, at bottom, is rather unseemly – I am bound to admit that the example of renunciation of one’s own freedom for the freedom of one’s fellow human beings is of a kind to inspire others to self-sacrifice, courage, ardour in battle.

We need the light brought to us by those who, fighting for the revisionist cause, have ended up in prison for having faced that danger in full knowledge of it. I speak here of those who have never yielded, never given assurances to the enemy, never conceded anything either in prison or in court. There are cases – very rare ones – where people land themselves in prison through sheer rashness, foolishness, exaggerated self-esteem, although they may end up, once their case comes to court, giving in, lowering the flag and, in their defence, making hackneyed speeches on the “freedom of expression.”

We need real men and real women. I shall not mention names here, lest I overlook any. Nevertheless I shall make an exception for Sylvia Stolz, “The German Joan of Arc,” as we readily call her.

Go and see up close what she has dared to say and do in this Germany abominably subjected to the law of the conqueror: you will learn to what heights a woman may rise, a woman who, like the legendary heroines in France, Germany and a good many other lands, lights up our meagre existences.

There remains one wish for me to make: that this young woman will have the strength to go on being the model of heroic humanity that she embodies today for so many amongst us.

Interview with Renouveau Francais leader

A ‘google’ translation in English

http://www.rivarol.com/Rivarol.html

http://www.renouveaufrancais.com/new/index.php

user posted image


What are the objectives of the Renewal French and his actions?
The activity of the RF is divided between training and action.
Naturally, the first is a prerequisite and an essential companion to any successful action. Given the intellectual confusion experienced by France and sometimes the "national movement", we are making significant efforts to train both of the principles of political analysis. In Focus: the creation of frameworks and well-trained militant nationalists in the political, ethical and human.


This new generation of activists arrived and, with the reinforcement of the oldest who joined us and continue to join us, it's a real cause for hope in our struggle.
Side "action", the militant activities alongside traditional use of "new technologies" to make known to the French ideas and analysis, to propose a concrete commitment to those who want to act and no longer suffer, and finally to defend foot to walk or regain what has to be through effective mobilization.


Additionally, we are actively working to set up a network - if not a community - of the French share a common world view and aspirations. Today mutual assistance in various fields, mutual support against a hostile system. Maybe tomorrow, patriots stand together successfully in difficult times.
Structuring, development of the nationalist movement on the one hand, preparation of a state of mind favorable among the largest possible part of the French population on the other hand, these are the two breasts of the revolution that France needs.
Can you tell us more about your doctrine?
We are proponents of realism at all levels: we see the world as it is. Hence our implacable opposition to the ideological fantasies such as the design of multi-racial nation, or the theory of "gender".


Our French nationalism (national defense of the common good) is classic and uncompromising, inspired cons-revolutionary and Catholic. These lexical details are useful because of the unfortunate current polysemy of the term "nationalism".
Nationalism and therefore can not be compatible with republicanism, modern democracy, liberalism philosophical subjectivism, disembodied conceptions of nationality, etc.. Nor to overlook the issues of civilization, moral standards or reference spiritual.
Specifically, in addition to the necessary conquest of the state, the nationalist struggle now must focus on a few major themes essential. Let me list them.


- Facing the Euro-globalism, the recovery of our national independence, so that the French are masters in their own and their noble nation is no longer a province of the European Union or an administrative area of ​​global governance;
- Faced with the decline, restoration of our civilization traditional Franco-Christian, certainly sometimes demanding but ultimately correspond to our human nature, far from the pseudo-modern models of happiness blows sustained antidepressant;
- Face to exploitation, destruction and domination of Finance, the establishment of a just social and economic order, serving the common good.
- In the face of cultural imperialism and invasion of migration, the intransigent defense of our identity, particularly with regard to ethnicity.
Let us not forget, facing the devastation of our landscape, pollution and the deadly concretisation of our soil, against a healthy ecology, which also stresses the need to preserve biodiversity, including human ...\


With the victory of Marine Le Pen in January, the national camp is facing a new configuration. Can we not fear fragmentation and division within our sustainable school of thought?


Today we are witnessing a new phase of decomposition-recomposition of the "national law", including the fragmentation is a logical and, hopefully, temporary.
In terms of staff, managers, real estate, human networks and social-cons of local, cultural, media and professionals, and especially ideological changes (which are usually as many regressions), the situation of the camp "patriot" in general is pathetic, and calls for an uncompromising self-criticism.
As nationalists, we go back to zero or nearly so.
Let's look at the bright side: this can be an opportunity for our movement to restart on doctrinal and moral foundations healthy, strong.


How do you fit in the debate that stirs our camp on the possible fate of France in the European Union and / or the euro?
It would be inconsistent to say nationalism and consider staying in the EU and the euro.
The first has clearly bonded (remember that 80% of French laws are of this bureaucratic monster) and the second logical deprives us of any specific monetary policy, greatly limiting our economic flexibility.


Can we love and support his nation to see deprived of liberty? Can be tied up and accept that it is devoid of a symbol as basic as its currency?
These simple considerations should in my view take precedence over the economic outlook, which today are important above all to many of our fellow citizens, they are caught in the glue materialistic or frightened by the prospect of misery which offers us the Republic.
That said, I am convinced that France has the means today and if properly governed, without the structures to provide a Europeanist decent material life of all its citizens.


Contrary to what we oath media, the euro and the EU are factors of unemployment and impoverishment. They have already done a lot of economic and social damage, and it is not finished.
Your movement is sometimes accused of being religious and bourgeois. How do you respond to that? Are they based in part?
I fear that these criticisms (however rare) are based on petty feelings ...!
We do not in the class war, in our view incompatible with nationalism.
If trends are of course local variables, the social composition of our workforce is very diverse, and all were enrolled in an excellent harmony, united by a common cause.
However, the negative mindset called "bourgeois spirit" sits uneasily with a militant nationalist like we do and that is why we have not to deplore in our ranks.


In addition, we are not more religious than were almost all the cities, especially ours, to the disastrous French Revolution.
We are not a religious movement but a political movement for political purposes.
That being said, if you want to dig a little political thinking and not simply fighting sector (which some would try), it comes to matters of higher order: Who is man? What is its purpose? What has he need? What is the purpose of the state? The laws need to be related to a corporation? If so, which?
Salazar said the president very well, "politics is a philosophy in action."
We therefore choose the classical philosophy of Christian civilization, morality and Catholic natural.


Given the centrality and founder of Catholicism in our "national novel", it would also be absurd to blame us for this reference.
That said, there is not with us as Catholics even if they are the majority (among them the panel of "sensitivities" is relatively varied). We simply ask those who want to join us, a watchful eye on the Catholic religion in its traditional course. Question of coherence and cohesion.
We are well aware that people now no longer Catholic, except a very small minority (often reluctant to political engagement). Now we turn to the people ...
How do you see the future of the national camp?
Its current state, in addition to issues of strategy, explained more deeply in our gaps and weaknesses.
Intellectual laziness, disdain for ideas, for doctrine, for consistency (sometimes expensive it is true), moral relativism has, it must be admitted, largely prevailed.
And this rule does not seem to crumble, however.


Finally, it is the fundamental errors of modernity that have contaminated those who should fight: subjectivism, relativism, idealism, individualism ...
Based on these observations, we understand that the remedy is to take against the foot of what has been done in these areas.
We must return to the ideas and lead a fight for it first, back to the sources, without fear of the truth and leaving out a chimerical "doctrinal miscegenation" that would combine the Hegelian mode on a black and white, yes and failure.
Efforts should be made to practice intellectual effort, training humbly learn from true masters, identify sound principles and immutable and never deny. Keep in mind the priorities and on what we can not compromise.


It is important to restore honor to the debate of ideas (which also fleeing politicians), preaching and discussion.
At the risk repeating myself, should be subject to political activities to a reliable and strong doctrine, but of course as long slide into ideology, bigotry, intellectualism or rejection of concrete and fighting dirty ...
Rivarol as a tool of course has an important role in the revival of the national camp. I have no doubt he will perform well under the leadership of its director.


I applaud the newspaper for contempt of the modes, I appreciate his outspokenness, further extended these months, I commend his tenacity sixties and am appreciative of his capacity for indignation remained intact.
A word of conclusion?
Despite the progress of the plans of our enemies, signs of hope have emerged here and there, and the circumstances were, paradoxically, rarely been so favorable to our ideas.


The System is a colossus with feet of clay, rose only by our setbacks, wielding the carrot (games, hedonism, materialism promises) and stick (flicage and law enforcement) to remain in place. But he will pay the price for its defiance of natural laws as much as common sense. It is probably to thank you for serious events of a financial, economic, security, ethnic or environmental ...
He soon falter, the carrot will mold and hand will be too soft to handle the stick.


The majority of our countrymen seem to be immersed in lethargy, head stuffed so as to explode or have left to buy, when they are just too loose.
But attitudes can change very quickly before the violence of the facts, as has been repeatedly proven in history.
God willing, the nationalists, if they are organized and determined, will then have a chance.
But before you can apply to our country's great political revolution, social, economic and spiritual that it needs, we must deliver a deep intellectual and moral reform in our own camp, the Patriots.
It is a time to devote to this task with determination, seriousness, faith and generosity!

March Against Communism in Wroclaw

Thousands of Polish comrades marched against Communism in Wroclaw  recently.

 

http://www.nop.org.pl/2011/09/18/wroclaw-przeciwko-czerwonym/

(google translation)

Nearly 1,000 people took part in organized by the Polish National Rebirth of demonstrations on the anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland. The demonstration has been traditionally supported by the fans of Sparta Wrocław and Silesia. The share was also attended by members of the Association of Measles-Niemen, those associated with communities' Polish Gazeta ", Kornel Morawiecki and AN. Media patronage over the event held the portals: wroclawianie.info, fanslask.fuckpc.com and nacjonalista.pl. It was the largest organized anti-communist demonstration in Poland that day.

The action began at the Wrocław market short of a representative from NOP, who said:

September 17, 1939, 72 years ago, the Soviet army invaded Polish. Murdered, killed, deported to Russia people just because they were Polish. Polish patriots: the military, civilians, women and children were victims of communist genocide. September 17 also began a process that continues to this day.More than half a century of communist dictatorship, then post-communist "okrągłostołowa" democracy, lasting to this day. Signs, new party, but not changed the objectives and tasks which were characterized by objective invasion of Poland on 17 September 1939: total enslavement of our people.Today replaced serfdom Moscow - Brussels serfdom. The occupation continues. Nam, Polish patriots, like the Polish defenders in 1939, has one goal: free and independent Poland. The struggle continues!

We stand at the monument to the victims of Katyn - a symbol of respect and remembrance for our fellow countrymen who died at the hands of communist murderers. Here, in Wroclaw, this is a special symbol. Because that's in our city - not Russia, not Belarus, not in ancient times, but today, barely in 2008, will President Rafal Dutkiewicz, the police attacked the demonstration, organized to honor the victims of Katyn. Yes, in a supposedly independent Poland, the Poles are detained and brought to justice as respect for the victims of communism. Here, in Wroclaw, struggle with what Polish, which anti-communist, is a determinant of local governments, and especially President Dutkiewicz. The same who tried to stop the Patriots last year's march, organized on the anniversary of independence. September 17 Soviet Russia invaded Poland, and the spiritual heirs are still factors invaders, still trying to fight what is patriotic, Polish.

Today's demonstration is an expression of respect for the victims of Soviet aggression in 1939. There is also a statement against those who fight with the Polish. And as stawiliśmy here today, so bet the same on 11 November at the Patriots next March. Quite pseudodemokratycznej, communist occupation! Long live free Poland!

Demonstration ended with the singing of the national anthem gathered.

Wroclaw former largest share of that day held in Poland on the anniversary of the USSR invasion in 1939. It showed that not only Wroclaw Dutkiewicz, impunity descendants of Marx and Lenin, but above all the Poles who know how loudly and clearly express their national views. Maybe that's why the next street actions, organized in the city can - despite the fact that almost organized ad hoc basis - to attract hundreds of Wroclaw. Another action was indeed announced in the current manifestation: November 11, II Patriots march. Be and You!

9.4% increase in tourist numbers to Ireland

 

 

See report below. Ireland is still a popular and appealing country to visit. Our Nation has much to offer though the politicians (rent boys to the financiers) “have given us into the hands of new unhappy lords”.  Visitors to Ireland always remark on how friendly and hospitable the Irish people are. A historic people and country.  The Nation is under attack. Our people are under attack. There are those who have sold their mother, those who sit back whilst their mother is violated. There are those who stand and fight. Those who will resist. Let us fight for God, Faith and the Nation.

http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0923/tourism.html

The number of trips to Ireland increased significantly in the three months from May to July compared with the same period last year.

The Central Statistics Office said there were just under 1.95m visits to Ireland in the three-month period, up 9.4% from a year earlier.

The number of trips from Britain, Ireland's biggest tourism market, was up 8.8%.

Visits from North America and continental Europe both increased by 9.3%, while the number of trips from all other countries was up 14.5%.

Recent figures have shown a pick-up in travel figures, but some in the tourism industry have urged caution, as the April and May figures last year were affected by disruption from volcanic ash.

Today's figures also show the number of trips made by Irish people abroad fell by 1.8% from a year earlier to 1.97m.

For the first seven months of this year, the number of trips from abroad was up 11.8% on the same period last year, while the number of trips made by Irish people was down 3%.

Recent pro Gaddafi Rally in Tarhuna, Libya

A recent rally in support of the Libyan leader in Tarhuna. This town is 80km southeast of Tripoli.

A Palestinian State

The legitimate and historical nation of Palestine must be re-established. Those who speak of the “two state” solution should realise the Zionists would never permit it. They always insist on total domination. Justice demands that the Palestinians receive what is rightfully theirs. Zionism must be opposed.Zionism is contrary to our ideology.

A Priest’s Recent Visit to Syria

The following is

Father Pat's Pastoral Ponderings

September 19, 2011
Twenty-fifth Sunday After Pentecost

Having returned home, last evening, from a five-day trip to Syria, I am sending this first message to the friends who have been praying for me this past week. Many of these, prior to the trip, expressed concerns for my safety, so let my first words serve to reassure them.

I begin by remarking that at only one point on this trip did I feel the slightest fear for my physical wellbeing. It happened this way: Our little group was conducted into a large room full of scary-looking people, where a security force of more than twenty policemen met us, all of them carrying side arms, and several holding assault rifles. As we walked through their midst, this security force gave our group a careful once-over.

For the benefit of those concerned for my safety this past week, let mention that the room was the gate boarding area of an airport. It was the first day of our trip. The city was Chicago.

>From the time we boarded our plane, however, and during the remainder of the trip---in Jordan and Syria---I did not see a single side arm on anyone at all, and I saw only two rifles: one held by a guard in front of the Defense Ministry in Damascus, and the other by the man who opened the front gate for us at the Presidential Palace.

During our entire time in Syria, I saw not a single armed policeman nor---except for that guard at the Defense Ministry---a single soldier. I saw only one military vehicle, and that was near the Defense Ministry.

The only other weapons I saw in Syria were the 10-inch batons used by the local police to direct the flow of traffic in Damascus. Indeed, the only moments of real apprehension I felt in Syria were occasioned by certain extraordinary displays of spontaneity and boldness on the part of its cab drivers.

In Syria our group---together and singly---was permitted to go wherever we wished and to ask any questions of anybody we wanted. There was only one restriction: our tourist agency mentioned two smaller cities where, out of concern for our safety, they could not take responsibility for us. This concern, they said, was prompted by patterns of violence among some of the "criminal elements" active in those cities---not the Syrian government.

Even then, however, we were not forbidden to travel to those two cities; the tourist agency simply refused to take us. (For the sake of candor, I confess that I was the visitor who ardently pressed them on the point, assuring them that we Chicagoans are impervious to fear. They ignored me.)

Prior to traveling to Syria, I checked out the web page of our State Department, where I was warned that travel in Syria is currently very dangerous. Normally I take such warnings seriously.

Over many years, however, I have done a bit of foreign travel, so I also trust my instincts with respect to safety. Long I walked the dark streets of Athens during a period when there were riots and insurrections throughout Greece. That same year---just after the civil war in Cyprus---I roamed all over that island, as U.N. peacekeepers policed the place.

In Kosovo a few years ago, again at night, I strolled from the south (Albanian) side of Mitrovica to the north (Serbian) side---and back again---without incident. I have walked around, after dark, in the neighborhoods of numerous foreign cities, such as London, Paris, Milan, Istanbul, and Tel-Aviv. In 1973 I was in the Athens airport when terrorists stormed the El-Al customer desk with grenades and machine guns. I think I can recognize danger.

I also know what it feels like to move around in the dangerous atmosphere of a police state. Last year, for instance, I spent a week in Guatemala, where I saw guns galore on nearly every street. At the time, the murder statistics in Guatemala City were staggering. (Father Timothy Ferguson, who spent a year there, followed the murder reports in the newspaper; he told me that 87 women were murdered in his immediate neighborhood during that year, but not a single person was ever arrested for those murders.) Within five minutes of entering Guatemala City, I was aware of danger. Indeed, if I were not a Chicagoan, I might have feared for my life.

So, let me sum up my impression of the danger factor in Syria. On a security scale of 1-to-10, I would give Syria a 9.7. Using that same scale, I would give Detroit a 4, Philadelphia a 6, and Disney World an 8.5.

Muammar Gaddafi speech

"All should be aware that the government of Libya is the Jamahiriya government, that the power belongs to the men and women of the Popular Conferences and the People's Committees in Libya. This Government by the People will never fail nor fall. It embodies the millions of Libyans and for that reason it can't fall. Anyone who says Qaddafi's government has fallen is nothing but ridiculous and a joke. Qaddafi doesn't have a government, therefore that government can't fall.

Qaddafi is out of power since 1977 when I have passed the power to the People's Committees of the Jamahiriya. When 2,000 tribes meet and declare that only the Libyan people represent Libya, doesn't that say enough?


This is the answer to NATO which has said the National Transitional Council from Benghazi represents the Libyan people. The Libyan people are here and they are with me, nobody can represent us. So no legitimacy to anything else or anyone else, the power belongs to the people. All Libyans are members of the People's Committees. Anything else is false.


What is happening now in Libya is a charade which can only take place because of the NATO air raids, which will not last forever. When they have left the traitors will be gone too. We are ready to die for the Power of the People. This is what we stand for and this is what our martyrs have been standing for.”

Peril Eternal

The weekly ‘Eleison Comments’ of Bishop Richard Williamson SSPX.

 

ELEISON  COMMENTS  CCXVIII  (Sept.17, 2011) ;  PERIL ETERNAL
"Why are we human beings here on earth ?" an old friend just asked me.  I said, of course, "To praise, love and serve God, and by so doing to save..." He broke in - "No, that's not the answer I want," he said. "What I mean is that before I came into existence, I was not, and I was not in any danger. Now that I exist I am seriously exposed to the danger of losing my soul. Why was I given, without my consent, this perillous existence which, once given, I could no longer refuse ?"

Expressed in this way, the question is serious, because it casts a doubt on the goodness of God. Certainly it is God who gives to each of us life and thereby sets before us the choice which we cannot opt out of, between the steep and narrow path to Heaven and the broad and easy road to Hell (Mt. VII,13-14). Certainly the enemies of the salvation of our souls, the world and the flesh and the Devil, are dangerous, because the sad fact is that the majority of souls fall into Hell at the end of their lives on earth (Mt.XX,16). Then how can it be fair for me to find myself in such danger by no choice of my own ?

The answer is surely that if the danger was in no way by my own fault, then indeed life might be a poisoned gift. But if often the danger is in good part by my own fault, and if the very same free-will that when used wrongly enables me to fall into Hell, also enables me when used rightly to enter upon an eternity of unimaginable bliss, then not only is life not a poisoned gift, but it is a magnificent offer of a glorious reward out of all proportion to the relatively slight effort which it will have cost me on earth to avoid the danger and make the right use of my free-will ( Is. LXIV,4).

But the questioner might object that none of those three enemies of his salvation are his fault:-- "The world which incites us to worldliness and concupiscence of the eyes is all around us from cradle to grave, and can only be escaped at death. The weakness of the flesh goes with original sin, and goes back to Adam and Eve. I wasn't around then !  The Devil also existed long before I was born, and is running wild in modern times !"

To which one can reply that the three enemies are all too liable to be our own fault.  As for the world, we have to be in it, but we do not have to be of it (Jn. XVII,14-16). It depends on us whether we love the things of this world, or prefer to them the things of Heaven. How many prayers in the Missal ask for the grace to prefer the things of Heaven !  As for the flesh, the more we flee from  its concupiscence within us, the more it can lose its sting, but which of us can say that he has by no personal sin of his own strengthened the concupiscence and the danger, instead of weakening it ?  And as for the Devil, his power to tempt is strictly controlled by Almighty God, and God's own Scripture assures us that God offers us the grace necessary to overcome the temptations he allows (I Cor.X,13). In brief, what St Augustine says of the Devil applies also to the world and the flesh - they are like a dog chained up which can bark but not bite, unless one chooses to go too close.

So there is indeed an inescapable degree of spiritual danger in human life, but it depends on us, with God's grace, to control that danger, and the reward is out of this world (I Cor. II,9).

Kyrie eleison.

Immigration Still Increasing In Ireland

Nationalists are right

Those who oppose mass-immigration into Ireland have shown yet again that immigration continues to increase whilst the youth of Ireland are emigrating. Mass-immigration is cheap, foreign labour.Pure and simple. There are those in Ireland who still prefer to watch trash on television and read tabloids than confronting the issues. Irish youth should not emigrate but should fight back. This is your Nation. Patriots will not sit back whilst mass-immigration takes a grip on our Nation.

 

It is time for repatriation. Those that continue to hire foreign labour are foes. The message to Irish youth is simple. Stand your ground and don’t emigrate.Take the Nation back from the New Unhappy Lords.

 

The youth of Ireland are nothing other than play things for the current political parties and their masters.

Precious Life Protest ‘Abortion Masterclass’ at NUIM

A short video of the recent pro-life protest at National University of Ireland, Maynooth which hosted an ‘Abortion Masterclass’. Phone lines to NUIM also became very hot as hundreds of people phoned the university to complain about this ‘Masterclass’. Well done to the patriots who protested at Maynooth on Friday.

Victims of NATO Airstrikes in Sirte

NATO Bombings in Libya

 

Are Evangelical Christians Warmongers?

Many Christians to their shame are ‘friends of Israel’ and have supported Neo-Con, Zionist wars and Zionist puppets. Then we have these ‘Christian Democrats’. Many Christians have been ‘neo-conned’ in supporting unjust and immoral wars. 

http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=3971

I’ve been an evangelical Christian since I was a child. I’ve been in the Gospel ministry all of my adult life. I attended two evangelical Christian colleges, received honorary degrees from two others, and taught and preached in several others. I’ve attended many of the largest evangelical pastors’ gatherings and have been privileged to speak at Christian gatherings–large and small–all over America. I have been part of the inner workings of evangelical ministry for nearly 40 years. I think I learned a thing or two about evangelical/fundamentalist Christianity in America. And I’m here to tell you: I don’t like what I see happening these days!

Let’s get this straight right out of the gate: nothing touched by man can be perfect, because none of us is perfect. There is no perfect church, perfect school, perfect mission board, perfect Sunday School class, perfect pastor, perfect deacon, or perfect Christian. Until the afterlife, we are all yet encased in Adamic flesh, complete with human weaknesses and imperfections. And only the Pharisaical among us are too proud to admit it.

That said, I do think it is more than fair to say that, historically, Christians have always attempted to be–and have always publicly taught the importance of being–peacemakers. Historically, Christians have preached–and tried to practice–love and brotherhood. The early church was born in a baptism of love and unity. Oh sure, there were always individual misunderstandings and differences, but, on the whole, the church was a loving, caring, compassionate ecclesia.

Mind you, Christians historically were not afraid or ashamed to defend themselves, their families, and their country. The Lord Jesus, Himself (the Prince of Peace), allowed His disciples to carry personal defense weapons (see Luke 22:36,38). Yes, while some Christian sects were conscientious pacifists, these were the exception, not the rule. The vast majority of Christian believers understood the Biblical, Natural Law principle of self-defense. But believing in the right of lawful, God-ordained self-defense was never to be confused with warmongering.

So, what has happened to turn the most peace-loving institution the world has ever known (the New Testament church) into the biggest cheerleaders for war? I’m talking about un-provoked, illegal, unconstitutional, unbiblical–even secret–wars of aggression. The biggest cheerleaders for the unprovoked, unconstitutional, pre-emptive attack and invasion of Iraq were evangelical Christians. Ditto for the war in Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya, the attacks in Yemen, etc. Who is calling for the bombing of Iran? Evangelical Christians. Who cheers for sending more and more troops all over the world to maim and kill more and more people (including innocents)? Evangelical Christians. Shoot (pun intended)! Most evangelical Christians didn’t even bat an eye when the federal government sent military and police personnel to murder American citizens, including old men, women, and children–Christian old men, women, and children, no less–outside Waco, Texas.

And where are today’s evangelical Christians giving a second thought regarding their fellow Christian brothers and sisters in many of these Middle Eastern countries that are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and killed by the puppet regimes being put in power by the US government–at US taxpayer (including Christian taxpayer) expense? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but more Christians have been persecuted under the US-imposed regime in Iraq than were ever persecuted when Saddam Hussein was in power. Oh! And don’t forget that it was the US government that was responsible for putting Saddam Hussein in power to begin with. The US government set up Osama bin Laden, too. But I digress.

In addition to the “white” wars (the ones everyone knows about), the US government authorizes some 70 black ops commando raids in some 120 countries EVERY DAY. In fact, the secret, black ops military of the US is so large today it now totals more personnel than the ENTIRE MILITARY OF CANADA!

A recent report noted, “In 120 countries across the globe, troops from Special Operations Command carry out their secret war of high-profile assassinations, low-level targeted killings, capture/kidnap operations, kick-down-the-door night raids, joint operations with foreign forces, and training missions with indigenous partners as part of a shadowy conflict unknown to most Americans. Once ‘special’ for being small, lean, outsider outfits, today they are special for their power, access, influence, and aura.”

To see the complete report of America’s secret wars, go to:

http://tinyurl.com/3q7s335

Yet, how much of this knowledge would even faze the average evangelical Christian today? All we hear from today’s “churches” is “bomb,” “attack,” “wipe them out,” etc. Then, at the same time, they get all emotional about sending missionaries to the same countries that they had just cheered-on the US military in raining down missiles of death and destruction upon (to bring salvation to the lucky ones that weren’t killed, I suppose).

And who are the ones that belittle and impugn Ron Paul? Evangelical Christians. Why? Because he tells the truth about America’s foreign policy being responsible for much of the hatred and bitterness erupting in foreign countries against us. I guarantee you that many of the “conservative” Republicans who booed Dr. Paul’s comments to this regard at the GOP Presidential debate this week would identify themselves as evangelical Christians.

See the report at:

http://tinyurl.com/3otfnzr

The disciples of our Lord were called “Christians” first by the Gentiles of Antioch, because of the manner in which the disciples reminded them of Christ’s nature and teachings. I never thought I would hear myself say what I’m about to say, but the truth is, the term “Christian” today means anything but Christ-like. To many people today, “Christian” refers to some warmongering, mean-spirited, throw-anyone-to-the-wolves-who-crosses-them person, who then has the audacity to look down their nose in contempt against anyone who disagrees with them for even the smallest reason. And the word “church” has the stigma of being simply an enclave of warmongers to many people today. And that, my friends, is one reason so many people are so turned off with today’s Christianity. And I can’t say that I blame them. I’m turned off too!

Am I a pacifist? Absolutely not! Do I believe an individual, a family, a community, or a nation has the right to protect and defend itself? I absolutely do! And the fellow who breaks into my home or who attacks my loved ones will personally discover I believe that! But this blind support for illegal, immoral, unconstitutional war is anything but Christian. Not only is it turning people against our country among people abroad, it is turning our own countrymen against the Christ we Christians claim to love right here at home.

I dare say that the modern Warfare State would grind to a screeching halt tomorrow if evangelical Christians would simply stop supporting it! And the thing that most evangelical Christians fail to realize is that the Warfare State is one of the primary tools that the evil one is using to usher in his devilish New World Order that even babes in Christ know to be of Satan. Hence, Christians are helping to promote the very thing that Satan, himself, is using to enslave them.

Yes, I’ve been an evangelical Christian for most of my life and an evangelical pastor for all of my adult life. And if we Christians do not quickly repent of this bloodlust that seems to dominate evangelical Christianity today (spiritually and militarily), the word that was first used by un-churched Gentiles to describe Christ’s followers will be used as a curse-word to describe those who facilitated the ruination of our country.
