Medjugorje: Pope Benedict XVI Crackdowns on Illicit Catholic Shrine

Crackdown on Medjugorje

Daily Mail – United Kingdom

The Pope has begun a crackdown on the world’s largest illicit Catholic shrine – by suspending the priest at the centre of claims that the Virgin Mary has appeared more than 40,000 times.

Benedict XVI has authorized ‘severe cautionary and disciplinary measures’ against Father Tomislav Vlasic, the former ‘spiritual director’ to six children who said Our Lady was appearing to them at Medjugorje in Bosnia.

The Franciscan priest has been suspended after he refused to cooperate into claims of scandalous sexual immorality ‘aggravated by mystical motivations’.

He has also been accused of ‘the diffusion of dubious doctrine, manipulation of consciences, suspected mysticism and disobedience towards legitimately issued orders’, and is suspected of heresy and schism.

Father Vlasic was a central figure in promoting the apparitions that allegedly began in 1981 and continue to this day.

In 1984 he boasted to Pope John Paul II that he was the one ‘who through divine providence guides the seers of Medjugorje’ and the visionaries even said that the Virgin had told them he was a living saint.

But the Bosnian cleric later took a back seat when it emerged that he had fathered a child with a nun called Sister Rufina, and that he refused to leave his order to marry her but instead begged her not to expose him.

Father Vlasic then moved to Parma, Italy, where he set up a mixed male and female religious community, called Queen of Peace, which was dedicated to the Medjugorje apparitions.

Medjugorje has grown to become the biggest unapproved pilgrim sight, but the local bishops are convinced the claims are bogus and in 2006 complained directly to Pope Benedict.

This led to a Vatican investigation which turned the spotlight on the role of Father Vlasic.

The priest has now been suspended by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith after he refused to cooperate with the inquiry into his conduct, instead ‘justifying himself by citing his zealous activity’ in initiating religious communities and building churches the Medjugorje area.

The decree confirming his suspension was signed with the Pope’s approval by Cardinal William Levada, head of CDF, and Father Jose Carballo, the Minister General of the Franciscan Minor Order.

It confines Father Vlasic to a Francisan monastery in Italy and bans him from contact with the Queen of Peace community, or with his lawyers without permission from his superior.

He is banned from making public appearances, preaching and hearing confessions and he will be required to make a solemn profession of the Catholic faith.

The Vatican has warned Father Vlasic that he will be excommunicated if he violates any of the prohibitions.

The action was taken earlier this year but was made public this week by the Bishop of Mostar, Ratko Peric, at the request of the Vatican, to make local people to be aware of the priest’s status.

Father Vlasic is the second spiritual adviser to the seers to be suspended from his ministry. The other, Father Jozo Zovko, was suspended by Bishop Peric in 2004.

It represents a massive blow to millions of Medjugorje followers worldwide who were hoping that the Vatican investigation would legitimize the shrine.

Earlier this year, Italian Bishop Andrea Gemma denounced the Medjugorje claims as the ‘work of the Demon’ and predicted that ‘soon the Vatican will intervene with something explosive to unmask once and for all who is behind this deceit’.

The phenomenon began on 25 June 1981 when six children – Mirjana Dragićević, Marija Pavlović, Vicka Ivanković, Ivan Dragićević, Ivanka Ivanković and Jakov Colo – told a priest they had seen the Virgin on a hillside near their town.

Three Church commissions failed to find evidence to support their claims and the bishops of the former Yugoslavia finally declared that ‘it cannot be affirmed that these matters concern supernatural apparitions or revelations’.

In 1985 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger – now Pope Benedict – banned pilgrimages to the site, but this has been widely ignored.

Instead the seers have grown wealthy as a result of their claims – and so has their town, which has boomed as a result of the ‘Madonna gold rush’.

Some today own smart executive houses with immaculate gardens, double garages and security gates, and one has a tennis court.

They also own expensive cars and have married – one of them, Ivan Dragicevic, to an American former beauty queen.

Obamageddon

http://www.unitypublishing.com/Government/Obamageddon.htm

By Richard Salbato

Taxes are rising when more and more people are losing their jobs. Bailout monies are given away to corrupt and incompetent institutions so that they can continue gambling on their exotic derivatives. Your children and grand children will be paying off these debts for decades to come.

The reality is: these debts can never be paid off. America is heading towards a massive collapse at all levels: federal, state, municipal, private corporations…. society, families, personal…

Like the People of the Philippines, then Poland, then Russia and 87 other countries from 1984 until 1990 these people went to the streets and took back their countries by people power, people who were willing to stand up to oppressive governments and take back the power, people who were willing to monitor voting booths and stop fraud.

The people of Iran are risking their lives right now for freedom, are you willing to do the same?



By Richard Salbato - 7-6-2009



There are very informed people who have predicted that the Federal, State and Local governments of the United States will completely shut down by 2012, the last year of Obama’s presidency. This is not based on some Pagan Indian or Christian prophesy, but by pure logic and simple mathematical calculations. There are things happening in the world that almost no News Agency has reported on.

I always go by simple logic, what works and what does not. Show me the results, the long-term consequences, good or bad, and then I will listen to you.

The best non-religious person I have ever read on future trends, is Gerald Celente. As far as I know he has been 100% correct on his predictions. He predicted the dot-com boom and bust, every recession since President Carter, the housing boom and bust, the banking collapse, etc. I read one if his first books years ago, predicting that we would become the information age, and predicted the Invention and expansion of the Internet world wide. He also predicted the end of the house phone, and the spread of cell phones before we ever had them. I am still waiting his prediction of the end of TV because of computers.

To understand what I mean by Obamageddon, let us look at the facts and extend them out to 2012, but I will show later how this may happen this year. What am I talking about? Thinking people are predicting the greatest world wide economic depression in history, and civil riots as the consequence. Thinking people are seeing the total collapse of most of the governments throughout the world. Here are the facts:

Fact 1 - Economics

Debt is not a problem to people or to nations providing that the debt produces more wealth than it costs - it produces more wealth than it costs in payments per year. Let us look at the American debt.

The current debt (deficit, promises for those big programs, SSI, Medicare, Medical, pensions, veterans health care, government employees retirement obligations and medical care) comes to a total of $43 trillion -$145,000 per American , or $350,000 for every full-time worker. This does not include the not yet passed Cap and Trade and Health care bills. That is not what the News Media is telling me.

The trade deficit - the difference between what America imports and what it exports - is the highest it's ever been, both in absolute numbers and in comparison to the size of the economy. As a society, Americans are on track this year to spend $680 billion more on foreign goods such as Chinese-made clothes, Japanese-made cars and Scandinavian cell phones than overseas buyers do on American goods. It is now, roughly 6.5 percent of the total economy.

Americans, who go into debt to keep living a life beyond their means, are spending more and more of that borrowed money to buy goods from overseas. At the same time, the government provides more services to the public than it can afford to - and goes into debt to cover the cost.

Other nations actually purchase that debt, in the form of U.S. Treasury bonds and notes. Those bonds have increasingly been snapped up not just by private investors but by foreign banks. Japanese investors hold the most U.S. debt, but China has been buying more than any other country in recent months. The biggest trade deficit is with China at $162 billion. Japan is next, at $75 billion.

In a very real sense, the U.S. economy is dependent on the central banks of Japan, China and other nations to invest in U.S. Treasuries and keep American interest rates down. The low rates keep American consumers buying imported goods.

But the lack of fiscal discipline in the United States is undermining the value of the American dollar, thereby lowering the value of the U.S. Treasuries in foreign banks. As the dollar's value drops, other nations' willingness to keep investing cannot last.

If those banks reduced their dollar holdings or were simply less willing to invest so much, it could spark a sharp fall in the value of the dollar and that could create a host of economic problems.

China's decision last month to uncouple the value of its currency from the dollar and tie it instead to a basket of different currencies could make the dollar's position less exposed to a quick shift by international investors - or it could spur those investors to look elsewhere and leave the United States' position more precarious. Now, instead of holding American Dollars, nations like China are hording oil, coal, gold, wheat and corn. Instead of holding Dollars, they are holding commodities because they know the dollar will go down and the commodities will go up.

Inflation

World "experts" in money markets like Cliyde Prestowitz, Warren Buffet and George Soros are betting on a major crash of the dollar in the near future. Prestowitz thinks it will be greater than the Great Depression of the 1930s. Here are the reasons.

As the debts go up, the government needs more money, but if they tax the people more, they end up with less because more people end up out of work, and business cannot grow. To sell bonds they have to raise the interest on the bonds, and that raises the interest at banks, mortgages, credit of all kinds, which slows the GDP and jobs.

If they print money that is not backed by GDP they create the greatest hyper-inflation, which is the worst kind of tax on everyone and this will cause the great depression. Already in the last 5 months we have printed one trillion un-backed dollars, and will have to print trillions more very soon. Within two years, what one dollar can buy now, will cost two dollars.

Baby Boomers

Adding to this problem is the coming retirement of the baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964. To commemorate this occasion, the Census Bureau has compiled a collection of facts relating to, perhaps, our most celebrated generation.

78.2 million - Estimated number of baby boomers, as of July 1, 2005. http://www.census.gov/popest/national/

7,918 - Number of people turning 60 each day in 2006, according to projections. That amounts to 330 every hour. http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/usinterimproj/

How much does that add to the unfunded SSI per year? Most of these people will live past 80 and 90 and that means they will collect an average of $275,000 x 78,000,000 people. And this does not include the future cost of Medicare. Congress knows this but will not talk about it. Where is the news media, the so-called watchdog of government?

Real Unemployment Rate

Here is a June 2009 version of the summary that calculates the Effective Unemployment Rate, which is now 18.70%, and the Effective Number of Unemployed, which is now 30,172,000.

There are currently 14,729,000 officially unemployed workers, as announced. However, this figure does not include the combined 15,443,000 workers either (1) in the “labor force reserve” because they have abandoned their job searches (i.e., 4,278,000) or (2) underemployed because they are “part-time of necessity” (i.e., 8,989,000) or “otherwise marginally attached” (i.e., 2,176,000).

The effective unemployment rate is therefore 18.70%, instead of the official 9.51%.

Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of workers who are officially unemployed has increased by 7,188,000, while almost twice as many workers - 13,290,000 - have become effectively unemployed. And all the while, we should have been creating around 2,250,000 new jobs (i.e., 18 months times 125,000 jobs per month) just to keep up with population growth.

In June, the number of workers officially unemployed increased 218,000, while the number of workers effectively unemployed actually decreased 35,000.

It’s important to see the entire picture of America’s jobs profile — no matter how unpleasant.

I recognize that credit bubble related recoveries are hard to work out and are usually quite slow — with job growth at the back end. This all makes sense — but with Christina Romer out raising expectations again with giddy talk predicting a V-shaped recovery and given the “jobs, jobs, jobs” mantra of President Obama himself — the gap between the job figures expected and the disappointing economic realities generated may be politically consequential.

Gerald Celente Predicts Public Revolt

Trends Research Institute opines : Taxed to death, angry at government bailouts, outraged by Wall Street greed, and bitterly resentful of a system that rewards the undeserving rich, the American public is ready to revolt.

“The Tea Parties and Tax Protests sprouting across the nation, which we had predicted, are harbingers of revolution,” said Gerald Celente, Director of The Trends Research Institute. “But they are not enough. Much stronger and directed action is required. Our call for ‘Revolution’ will galvanize the people, destroy the corrupt ruling systems, and produce a prosperous and more just nation.”

The Revolution Celente proposes is unique in concept and bold in execution. It is about a lot more than just “taxation without representation.”

“Nothing short of total repudiation of our entrenched systems can rescue America,” said Celente. “We are under the control of a two-headed, one party political system. Wall Street controls our financial lives; the media manipulates our minds. These systems cannot be changed from within. There is no alternative. Without a revolution, these institutions will bankrupt the country, keep fighting failed wars, start new ones, and hold us in perpetual intellectual subjugation.”

The country is restless, and ripe for radical reform. There is no doubt protests will proliferate and intensify. In response, the government will call out the troops and bring in the police. They will use the Patriot Act to silence, detain, harass, persecute and prosecute groups and individuals exercising their Constitutional rights. But Celente’s Revolution need not degenerate into violence or open warfare.

“Intellectual Revolution”
“I am calling for an ‘Intellectual Revolution’. I ask American citizens to free their minds from the tyranny of ‘Dumb Think.’ This is a revolution about thinking – not manning the barricades. It’s about brain power – not brute force.”

For society to survive and grow, it must wake up and grow up. Americans must acknowledge what their opinions are based on, who they listen to … and why.

What are America’s prime information sources? CNN, “The most trusted name in news”? Fox, “Fair and balanced”? CNBC, “First in Business Worldwide”? The New York Times, “All the news that’s fit to print”?

Who do the people listen to? A closed circuit of familiar faces guaranteed to take predictable positions. Authorities on nothing, yet pronouncing upon everything; a cadre of media aristocrats, pretending they’re the people’s voice.

TV tough guys, broadcast big mouths and Beltway blowhards have now been joined by featherweight comics throwing powder puff punches at sitting targets.

Israel – Iran War & the Media

Now if you think the above is a little exaggerated, lets see what you do not know from the media. Now each of these facts has been reported someplace at least once, but never put together so that people can see the relevance of this news. A few months ago Israel held the first nation wide civil defense drills in its history, involving every citizen. Israel has had two Bomber exercises where they flew out of the Mediterranean Sea and back without stopping. The exact amount of miles it would take to bomb Iran and return home.

In the last week an Israel Sub crossed the Suez canal with the permission of Egypt. Permission was given to Israel by Saudi Arabia (secretly) to fly over Saudi Arabia if they attack Iran. America has just stated that they would not get in the way if Israel attacked Iran’s military and Nuclear Plants. In a recent pole, 78% of Israel’s citizens said they see no other choice accept to attack Iran as soon as possible.

Israel has an anti-missal system called the Arrow, which is one of the best in the world, and they have bought hundreds of Patriots from America. They are not worried about Iranian missals, but they do know that Hezbollah and Gaza will be a problem. They will have to fight two wars at the same time a third war with Iran. All indication are that this will happen in the next few weeks or months, taking advantage of the fact that most of Iranians are against their own government and will overthrow the government with a slight help from Israel.

Now, how does that affect what I have written above? What will Iran do in this attack? First they will try to stop the bombers, but they have not yet received the grown to air missals they bought from Russia. Just like they did to Syria before bombing their nuclear Plant, Israel will disrupt the entire electrical grid and communications, even radio and TV. They will first hit the command and control, then the military troops, the air ports and the harbors. Last they will bomb over and over the Nuclear Plants.

What then will Iran do? They will try to fight the jets and bombers but quickly their air force will be demolished. They already know they cannot hit Israel, but they may try. What they can do, and will, is bomb the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and as many ships with oil in the straights of Hormuz as they can. They will try to punish the West by stopping the flow of oil and since 60% of the world’s oil passes the Straights of Hormuz this will harm the world’s economies within a week.

Even though we get almost no oil from the Middle East, the price is fixed by world wide supply and demand. The price will jump up to at least $200.00 per barrel in one day. The price at the pump will be over $5.00, but much worse in Europe.

That is why I say that the prediction for 2012 may in fact be 2009.

Tea Parties and the Media

Now if you did not get the above information from the News Media, you are not surprised that not one News Outlet covered the thousands of Tea Parties on the Forth of July. Over 300,000 people went to these Tea Parties and the news media did not even want you to know about it. Why?

Sarah Palin & the Media

Why does the Major News Media attack and attack Sarah Palin in the most blatant slander in the history of America? I do not need to detail all these attacks because you know them, the News Media loves to attack her over and over but not cover the real news as shown above. So many attacks have come upon her that it has cost the Alaskan government $2,000.000 in court trials and it cost her $500,000. The reason for these attacks is that poles show that she has the most favorable pole rating, 78%, of any other politician, and would win any election she wants to run in. This makes both Democrats and Republicans afraid of her.

The most recent attack on her, is the New York Times, who reported that the FBI was investigating her for something, but they did not know what. It was a bad move by the NYT because her lawyer contacted the FBI and there is no investigation or any even asked for. Now her lawyer is going to sue them and any other news media that slanders her without facts.

What they are afraid of they attack or ignore.

Control of Elections & the Media

The last election had hundreds of thousands of votes that were fraud, and the FBI is investigating this in at least 13 states so far. This is not reported by the media. Acorn is being investigated by District Attorneys in 8 states for voter fraud and not one media outlet is reporting on this except Glen Beck. Most recently Obama transfer the authority over the census to the executive branch where there is no oversight by the Congress, and now they are going to put Acorn in charge of this.

Now, consider this, almost all union members vote Democratic and most union members work for the government – fed, state, and local. Most teachers, policeman, firefighters, government health workers are union members. Right now 28% of the work force works for the government. That means the right off the bad, Democrats have 28% they can count on for votes. By expanding the government another 10% before the next elections in 18 months, they can have a block of 38% of the vote. If you add to that another 10% who are collecting welfare, food stamps or extended unemployment checks, they have 48% without even trying.

Acorn & the Media

Acorn is part of a conglomorate of over 250 Tax free organizations who receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the Federal and State government (even the Catholic Church) and they refuse to let anyone look at their books to see where the money goes. What news media is covering this, and why not?

Honduras & the Media

Now lets look at how the media covered the Honduran President problem. I am sure all you know is that the military arrested their elected President, Manuel Zelaya, and sent him out of the country in a military coup. Obama and the Organization of American States have condemned the action as a blow against Democracy and asked that he be reinstated. That’s what you know but is it the truth?

The truth is that Zelaya was elected 3 -1/2 years ago and had 6 more months in office. But because of his socialist ideas he lost his support and today has less than 30% popularity. He knew this so he tried to change the constitution so that he could continue at president for 4 more years. The Supreme Court of Honduras ruled that he cannot do that. The Congress of Honduras voted that he cannot do it and cannot call a referendum to change the Constitution. He refused to obey the Supreme Court or the Congress, so the government ordered the military to remove him from office. This is the democratic way and was proper. Even the Church wanted Zelaya out of office and impeached.

Why then has the news media, Obama and OAS sided with Zelaya? First of all, Obama thinks Presidents are all powerful, even over the Constitution, which he violates everyday. OAS is mostly made of Socialist countries and do not like Constitutional governments. The news media is progressive, meaning they do not like fixed laws.

Now I ask again, are you being properly informed?

Chastisement

Our Lady of Fatima promised that in the end Her Immaculate Heart will triumph and there will be a period of peace in the world. This has not happened and in fact it does not seem possible the way the world is going now.

Considering that from a theological point of view, peace without justice is not peace, then there is no peace unless there is world wide justice. The peace of the Romans was just the lack of war, but without justice. Mary's peace has to be with justice for all, quoting the American constitution.

Last year all the bishops of Nicaragua, celebrated the anniversary of Our Lady's apparitions there, where she predicted a third world war. Also in this same century Our Lady of Akita talked about a world wide war. A world wide war in terms of many countries going against many other countries is not possible today since there is only one superpower, American.

Even if America was hit with a first strike destroying all her cities, they still would win a war just with their Tridentine Submarine system, which could take out all the major industrialized countries of the world and more. However, there is a world wide war that could happen and this is what I wrote about in 1984 in The Ark of Apocalypse - simultaneous civil wars world wide.

God will not be mocked

The only thing that could cause a world wide simultaneous civil war scenario is a world economic crash. This is the only scenario that fits all the 104 prophesies I have read and the only scenario I can envision that can bring about Mary's Triumph.

The price will be high and no one will like it but in the end God will not be mocked by anti-God governments like in Europe, anti-life governments like in America and England, anti-freedom governments like in China and some Arab countries. God will not be mocked by liberal theologies in the Catholic Church or the disobedience of traditionalists, or the acceptance of false apparitions, or the 80% of Catholics who practice birth control and have abortions.

God will not be mocked by the failure of Christians to come together in the true Body of Christ even after 70 years of pleading. God has to do this because we are not doing it.

I am convinced God will shake the world into sanity and I look forward to it. You might as well look forward to it, because there is no other way to bring about peace with justice.

If Somalia and America's civil wars are any guide line, we can expect more deaths in civil wars than in all the other wars combined. Maybe, as the bible says, there will be few people left on earth after this.

People Power

Americans are gradually waking up. But more Americans need to quickly awaken to the state of their country. The country is in a big mess and going downhill to a hyper-inflationary depression. Their government is not serving them, it is serving the corrupt financial interest. The corrupt Wall Street banksters have taken over the entire system.

Taxes are rising when more and more people are losing their jobs. Bailout monies are given away to corrupt and incompetent institutions so that they can continue gambling on their exotic derivatives. Your children and grand children will be paying off these debts for decades to come.

The reality is: these debts can never be paid off. America is heading towards a massive collapse at all levels: federal, state, municipal, private corporations…. society, families, personal…

Like the People of the Philippines, then Poland, then Russia and 87 other countries from 1984 until 1990 these people went to the streets and took back their countries by people power, people who were willing to stand up to oppressive governments and take back the power, people who were willing to monitor voting booths and stop fraud.

The people of Iran are risking their lives right now for freedom, are you willing to do the same?

Palin says she Resigned to "Advance this Country together with our Values"

WorldNetDaily

Palin in 2012


By Pamela Geller

© 2009

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska announced yesterday that she is resigning and will not seek a second term as governor. Many conservatives are characterizing this as an abdication of responsibility and a failure of will. Quin Hillyer wrote in the American Spectator that "Sarah Palin's resignation is an appalling dereliction of duty and a highly cynical move to set herself up for a presidential run for which she is manifestly unqualified."

I vehemently disagree. She did not quit. From what I saw of her speech before Fox inexplicably cut it off (after seven days of wall-to-wall Michael Jackson coverage), this is not a woman who is retiring or "cutting and running," as Hillyer put it. She is getting into the fight to save America. Palin committed herself to fighting "for our state and our country, and campaign(ing) for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops and energy independence." Obama's treasonous presidency has made this struggle necessary. Palin, like all patriotic Americans, is shocked by what is happening. Obama is destroying this country. She knows it. We all know it. We need a leader.

Palin is that leader. On Friday she assumed the mantle. She delivered a campaign speech. She spoke on the eve of Independence Day about the sacrifices great Americans have made, and what our Founding Fathers fought and died for. Without naming Obama, she went after his disastrous policies, saying that "living beyond our means today is irresponsible for tomorrow," and noting that as governor she had "vetoed debt-ridden stimulus dollars." She believes in and wants to fight for free enterprise, small government and national security.

Get the definitive biography of Sarah Palin – "the hockey mom who turned the political establishment upside down"

And is she really "manifestly unqualified" to be president? I am unmoved by assertions that Palin needs more foreign policy experience or more experience of any kind. She has the key ingredient to great leadership: common sense. I am not concerned that she won't get up to speed on the nitty gritty details of national and international issues. Her thinking is sound. She has common sense, a moral compass and a very definite understanding of good and evil.

And best of all, she is not a product of the limp-wristed, spineless GOP of the Age of Obama. There is a struggle in the Republican Party for the heart and soul of our future: the RINOs (McCain, Romney, etc.) versus true individualists and conservatives like Palin. She is outside the box. She has grit. She has guts. That is why she so frightens the RINOs, leftopaths and freedom haters. The Democrats despise Palin because she best embodies everything they are not. She is principled, true, hard working, smart and honorable. She embodies all that is good and fine and decent – you couldn't have written a more charismatic, honorable character in a Victor Hugo novel.


Because of this, the left and the RINOs like Hillyer, out of their hatred of the good for being good, will do anything and say anything to destroy this woman. She has already been mercilessly attacked. Those on the right who have suffered the slings and arrows of the vile left smear machine know that the more they throw, the greater you are. The more vile, disgusting and outrageous the smear, the more envious and afraid you know the destroyers are.

And in Palin's case they have stopped at nothing. An army of political operatives filed 15 spurious ethics charges against her, draining the public resources. She and her staff spent huge amounts of time and incurred over half a million in legal fees fighting charges that were ultimately dismissed. And the same shills who laud Obama for dropping a cool $100,000 on dinner and a show with Meesh in New York City are aghast that Sarah spent $150,000 of donated bucks on her wardrobe for the presidential campaign. Now the Democrats and their propaganda machine, the dinosaur media, will continue to attempt to destroy and marginalize this wonder woman.

New media better pick up the slack – and make the point that this move will allow Palin to spend more time in the lower 48 states, where we urgently need her voice, without the left accusing her of neglecting her duties as governor.

Her country needs her desperately. She is answering our call. The 2012 campaign began today!

Palin Links Resignation to 'Higher Calling'

In a statement posted on Palin's Facebook account, she suggested that she had bigger plans and a national agenda she planned to push after she resigns at the end of the month.

Outgoing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday laid the groundwork to take on a larger, national role after leaving state government, citing a "higher calling" with the aim of uniting the country along conservative lines.

A day after surprising even her closest friends by announcing she would step down as Alaska governor more than a year before her term was up, the controversial hockey mom was still keeping details of her future plans under wrap. But in a statement posted on Palin's Facebook account, she suggested that she had bigger plans and a national agenda she planned to push after she resigns at the end of the month.

"I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint," she said.

Palin also cast herself as a victim and blasted the media, calling the response to her announcement "predictable" and out of touch.

"How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country," the statement said. "And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make."

Palin's personal spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, confirmed to The Associated Press that the Facebook posting was written by the governor.

The abruptness of her announcement and the mystery surrounding her plans has fed widespread speculation. But Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein on Saturday warned legal action may be taken against bloggers and publications that reprint what he calls fraudulent claims.

"To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as 'fact' that Governor Palin resigned because she is 'under federal investigation' for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation," Van Flein said in a statement. "This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law."

Palin has kept a low profile since her abrupt announcement Friday at a hastily called news conference at her home in suburban Wasilla, outside Anchorage. All of her public communication since then has been on the social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, or through statements released by her office.

At the same time, Palin informed her spokesman David Murrow early Saturday that someone using the name "exgovsarahpalin" on Twitter was spreading a false rumor that there was to be a party at her suburban home in Wasilla, outside Anchorage. Palin was afraid her home would be mobbed, and security was dispatched, Murrow said.

With only a few weeks before she steps down on July 26, and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell takes her place, the governor spent the Fourth of July weekend in the state capital, Juneau, but was only spotted briefly on the sidelines of the city's parade.

She had been invited to ride in a convertible, as she did last year, but never told organizers whether she would attend.

Juneau parade director Jean Sztuk said officials drew up banners in case Palin showed and was willing to take part.

As the last of the parade's clowns and marching bands headed past her, Sztuk gave up on Palin. "What governor wants to be at the end of the parade?" she asked.

Her low-profile and vague Internet messages left mounting questions about her plans for the future shrouded in mystery. Will she lay the groundwork for a 2012 presidential bid? Will she find a high-profile place in the private sector, maybe on the speech circuit? Will she drop out of the limelight and focus on her five children?

Her constituents, for one, wanted to know, especially in Juneau, where she has struggled to win over residents.

"I think she owes it to Alaskans to tell us why," said state Sen. Dennis Egan, D-Juneau, the son of Alaska's first governor, Bill Egan.

Egan, hosting a 50th anniversary statehood ceremony, said he was disappointed Palin decided not to finish out her term, which was scheduled to end in 2010.

"It's sad she abandoned us at this critical time," said Egan, who was appointed by Palin to an open seat on the last day of the legislative session in April, after a protracted battle with Senate Democrats.

Palin's departure can't come soon enough for Laurel Carlton, a waitress at the Capital Cafe in the Baranof Hotel, where the city's political movers and shakers meet every morning before walking a few blocks to the Capitol.

"I think she has a game plan that's not Alaska, and hasn't been for awhile," Carlton said.

She noted Palin has a book deal, and seems headed for the national stage.

"If you're really not going to stay and do your job every day, you should leave anyway, and so the sooner the better so somebody can step in and actually do the job," Carlton said.

And as far as Carlton is concerned, Palin doesn't need to explain why she's leaving.

"We don't care. We just want her gone," she said.

Palin, whose popularity in Alaska has waned amid ongoing ethics investigations, gave many reasons for stepping down: She didn't want to be a lame-duck governor; she was tired of the tasteless jokes aimed at her five children, including her son Trig, who has Down syndrome; she felt she could do more in another, still-to-be-defined role.

Sen. John McCain didn't rule out a return to politics for his former running mate, saying Saturday he believes "she will continue to play an important leadership role in the Republican Party and our nation." He gave no other details.

Even Parnell, who plans to run for re-election after finishing out Palin's term, said he was shocked at first when he learned of his boss' decision.

"But then as she began to articulate her reasons, I began to understand better," he said. "And nobody -- unless they've been in her position and understood what she has gone through and dealt with and who she is as a person -- really understands."

GMOs - Genetically Modified Organisms

Maybe the most important information you will receive in your lifetime

By Richard Salbato

Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary 2009



Over the past few months I have been monitoring the Legion of Christ to see if they are obeying Rome’s mandate to remove their founder’s influence, and their vows of silence so opposed to Catholic Doctrine. I was happy to see that the leaders finally admitted to Maciel’s sexual problems, but not sure they are abandoning his methods of mind control, which in short can be called, “The ends justify the means.”

I was interested in complaints by parents of members who wanted to sue the Legion because LC leaders were encouraging their new members to abandon their school loan bills after entering the order. Not only is this immoral but because these loans were co-signed by the parents, it meant the parents had to pay the bills. Some of these bills are between $100,000 and $200,000. The children said that LC leaders saw no problem with this because (and this is my words) the ends justify the means.

What was sent to me during this investigation was even more like the former leader than this. I am referring to “The ends justify the means.” In this case it is the connection of the Legion and its founder, Maciel, with GMOs – Genetically Modified Organisms.

Like most people I always thought of GMOs as being crop selection that creates larger yields per acre of land. Crop selection is simple. You take the largest corn and use them for seeds, then you keep doing this over and over until you have very large plants and corn yields. Selection has greatly helped the world’s food supply. But GMOs are nothing like this at all.

What are GMOs?

GMOs are a result of the discovery of DNA. Using this discovery, scientists believed they could cross DNA in plants and create a new food supply or a better food supply. Maybe they had the best of intentions in the beginning but this soon turned into maybe the most dangerous science in the history of the world, including the Atomic Bomb.

Wanting to create seeds that could fight off insects or other problems that affect farmers and food suppliers, they even crossed the DNA of corn and wheat with the DNA of animals. Like the mule, however, they created seeds that cannot reproduce more seeds.

Let us understand this, if a farmer buys these seeds from the GMO producers and plant a field, they cannot use part of the field for new seeds. Some say the companies did this deliberately so that farmers had to depend on the companies that supplied the seeds. Deliberate or not, that created the world’s most dangerous monopoly. Without telling farmers that the seeds do not reproduce, farmers tried them and then ended up with no way to grow the next crop.

More dangerous than this is that a field of GMO seeds may in fact contaminate another field near by and produce a terminator gene, a plant whose seeds are genetically blocked from reproducing. Since 40% of USA farms are now GMOs this may have something to do with the mass extermination of bees.

Monopoly

Agrichemical sales have become increasingly concentrated in a handful of large MNCs. Syngenta, Bayer, Monsanto, BASF, Dow and DuPont together control 85 percent of the annual pesticide market valued at 30 billion US dollars.

Three companies -- Cargill, Archer Daniels and Bunge -- control nearly 90 per cent of global grain trade while DuPont and Monsanto dominate the global seed market. Eleven firms account for about half the world sales of seeds, of which about a quarter are sales of genetically engineered seeds.

This turns the market into a sellers' market, and consumers and farmers have little or no choice. Farmers are forced to accept whatever they are asked to use such as seeds and pesticides. A democratic market is a consumers' market, but this is a supplier’s market.

Legion of Christ and GMOs

Back when the Legion of Christ was founded in Mexico, several billionaires supported Maciel with millions of dollars. One of these billionaires is Alfonso Romo Garza. Garza is the father of Legion of Christ’s Vicar General. Garza owns rights to 25% of the world supply of these terminator seeds.

Is it any wonder that the Pontifical Academy of Science, run by a Legion of Christ so-called scientist, has not allowed any speakers against GMOs. By having what would appear is a Vatican support of GMOs the Garza family, and therefore the LC, would add billions of dollars to their wealth, not just now, but for many years to come.

Do not underestimate this, it may be the most dangerous news you will hear in your lifetime.



Notes and Quotes:

1. Father McDonagh, an Irish missionary who spent more than 20 years in the Philippines and maybe the world’s expert on seed science is the primary source of this information, and was blocked from speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

2. All genetically modified seeds are now patented; you're giving enormous control to a handful of corporations over the seeds of the staple crops of the world. It started with rice, then corn, now they're looking to wheat and potatoes. This should be totally unacceptable to anyone. Forget about the science of whether they're safe or not. To give six Western corporations, in the United States and Europe, control over the seeds of the world is outrageous. (Father McDonagh)



3. U. S. Supreme Court in 1980, with Diamond v. Chakrabarty.



4. The point of the recent "Failure to Yield" report from the Union of Concerned Scientists is that the increase in yield in crops over the last 25 to 30 years has come from conventional breeding. It has nothing to do with GMOs. (Father McDonagh)



5. My main concern, however, is giving this control to corporations. For example, 60 percent of lettuce in the United States is now controlled by Monsanto. This is frightening. In the 19th century, all kinds of securities and exchanges agencies were created to move in on monopolies. Of course, those were monopolies on things like telephones. Now they want to build a monopoly on food. That, mind you, is precisely what they're after.

The problem with regulatory agencies at the moment is that they're much too tied to political and economic interests. The United States is a very good example. It's amazing just how hard wired Monsanto is to the Environmental Protection Agency and to the Food and Drug Administration. There's a real problem there, as a researcher showed with the Bt potato. When he went to the FDA, they said, we deal with potatoes but not the GM kind, that's over at the EPA. When he went to the EPA, they said, we don't deal with foodstuff, we deal with chemicals. Between them, they couldn't figure out which one was responsible for allowing this to be brought onto the market. (Father McDonagh)

.

6. Pontifical Academy for Sciences

It is. This is the Pontifical Academy for Sciences, so let's start with the 'pontifical' part. It's a Catholic organization. Who are the church's real experts in this area? I would say people like myself. I would say particularly the aid and development agencies, such as Misereor, Cafod, and Caritas. … They thought so little of this expertise in the Catholic church that they didn't invite a single person from any one of those agencies.

Further, anyone who ever claims to be a scientist should hear the other side. That goes back to Plato. What are they afraid of? Why didn't they set up a decent colloquium over there? Also, why don't they take into account numerous independent studies in the last three years which have concluded that the way to food security is not through GM crops? Why just discard all that? There's a very recent study from Africa on the yields from organic farming, saying this is the kind of thing we should be promoting. I would consider this gathering grossly incompetent.

Why do you believe they're doing it this way?

They want to get rid of the very minimal regulations that we have at the moment. They said it in the introduction to the study week, and every one of them says it in his abstract. That's their goal. Bishop Sanchez Sorondo (chancellor of the Pontifical Academy) has said that the purpose is to examine whether GM crops are safe, but I'm sorry, that's not it. The purpose is to use the prestige of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and its good name to beat on governments so that you can reduce regulation.

Are you worried that the Vatican is going to come out with an official pro-GMO statement?

Not at all. We were more concerned back in 2003, when Cardinal Renato Martino began to talk about how maybe GMOs could feed the world. We were very worried then, but not so much now. The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, for example, may not yet have assessed the science, but they have begun to see the impact on developing countries. On January 1, there was an article in L'Osservatore Romano, in which Martino was quoted on that side of it. (Father McDonagh)



7. Fr. Sean McDonagh: GMOs are going to create famine and hunger

Gathered here over the weekend, for the Pesticide Action Network (PAN)'s 25th anniversary, many expressed concern over the predatory nature of corporate agriculture and its attempts to corner the entire chain of food production from seeds to sales of food products.

PAN is a network of over 600 participating non-governmental organizations, institutions and individuals in over 90 countries working to replace the use of hazardous pesticides with ecologically sound and socially just alternatives. Global Research Articles by Anil Netto

Media/Obama Surreal Lies Vs. Reality at Notre Dame

www.gingiedmonds.com

I traveled to South Bend, Indiana to observe, participate and pray amidst the mayhem surrounding the gates of Notre Dame on graduation day. The pro-life presence was simply amazing with over 3,000 pro-life activists taking a bold stand for life and Catholic consistency. There were 39 arrests - all of them peaceful pro-lifers. Included among those arrested on graduation day was Norma McCorvey, the original "Roe" in Roe v. Wade, who renounced her ties to the pro-abortion movement and became a pro-life Christian in 1995.



But my personal favorite of the day - and one that caught widespread media attention - were the four graduating students who stood up and interrupted the President of the United States as he willfully violated the faith-values of their school. They were duly escorted from the auditorium by security guards, while Obama continued his speech and told an auditorium of Catholics (and with a straight face, too!) that what we need is more "fair-minded words" in the abortion debate.



Meanwhile, outside the gates of the school grounds, pro-Obama zealots were slobbering all over themselves in fits of glee, blowing up condoms and waving, "F*ck you if you don’t support Obama" signs. While pro-lifers were willing and eager to politely discuss the biological and medical facts concerning prenatal development and other vital life issues, the pro-aborts were only interested in vulgar shouting matches and chanting redundant and outdated slogans from the 70's.



Since this appears to quite literally epitomize the average Obama lackey, it begs the question - what, exactly, is President Abortion's definition of "fair-minded"? Because when pro-lifers exhibited the real definition, they just ended up in the St. Joseph County Jail, while the pro-abort half-wits spewed profanity on bullhorns.



At one point during the graduation day, a sweet little old Catholic lady mistook my mother for someone else and asked her, "How many of us were there in the holding cell?" The woman was one of the many who were handcuffed and detained for simply praying on school property. My mother was stunned. She asked me in wide-eyed dismay, "What is this world coming to?!"

May 19, 2009 - Oh No He Didn't!!
Oh yes, he did. Speak at Notre Dame, that is.




And of course, we are talking about Mr. Obama, the self-proclaimed bringer of peace and unity (if by "peace" you mean tax-funded cervical scrapings, and by "unity" you mean a Nazi-esque socialist regime with no regard for the sanctity of human life).



As I've said before, one of the luxuries that I enjoy as an opinion writer is that I get to report on events without having to censor myself or sugarcoat my articles. There's also that added bonus of being able to say the obvious and often entertaining things that every pro-life person is thinking deep down inside, but are unable to voice for fear of sounding "politically incorrect". So I was particularly impatient to observe and report on this potentially historical event in the human rights movement.

Since Barack Hussein Obama built his presidential campaign upon a promise for change, the entire world is watching and waiting, looking for the change that Obama has promised to bring. And the world is witnessing kids, parents and priests arrested on Catholic property for the crime of upholding Catholic morals (aka, simply being Catholic) while Obama did nothing to stop it. When students chose to miss their graduation instead of seeing Obama honored at their school, the world noticed that too.



People who have long felt that they were above or beyond dipping into the abortion debate, are watching videos like the one of 80 year old Father Westin being dragged off to jail for carrying a cross onto campus, and they are all suddenly starting to asking themselves that same question, "Yeah. What IS the world coming to? I thought Obama was going to fix the world. Where is that change we were promised? Is this it?"

Oh yeah, thats right. He never did specify if the change would be positive, did he? Whoops.

Barack Obama is proving to be the Hurricane Katrina of the pro-life movement. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating events in the history of the United States and the levee failures quickly prompted investigations of their design and construction. Suddenly everyone in the nation was concerned about the previously and seemingly unimportant engineering intricacies of the US Army Corp.



Now that we have the most radically pro-abortion president in US history (and one that enjoys a special kind of celebrity status that's usually reserved for children's characters like Barnie or Hannah Montana), abortion-neutral Americans are starting to take notice and starting to wonder, "Just who is this man that thinks 'waterboarding' a terrorist is torture, but giving an infant a saline burning bath is just peachy keen?"



Four recent polls are showing that the majority of Americans are avidly pro-life, and there are many indications that the number will only grow. Pew Forum and Gallup Polls, which focused on the political background of the polled participants, suggest that the reason behind the increased pro-life numbers is because people are looking at Obama's record and it is opening their eyes to the reality of abortion.



Obama's answers when questioned on abortion issues are so generic that he sounds like one of those computers that have been programmed to sound like a human being. So it was fairly easy for a nation craving "change" to buy into the vague rhetoric of the plucky Senator from Chicago with a shady past and unknown background. But now, his actions are speaking much louder than his stuttering teleprompter-assisted pre-election words.



Barack Obama has been revealing what his "change" means: taxpayer funded abortions, eliminating common-sense regulations, rescinding protections for doctors and medical providers who decline to participate in abortion... and now priests, pastors and little old ladies being thrown into jail in a new socialistic "fair-minded" society where dissent is strictly verboten.



And suddenly, when looking at Obama the Abortion Champion, people are beginning to see what "pro-choice" really means: Dismembered body parts, minced baby pulp, broken women and lost lives.



The moment anyone looks at the reality of abortion, there comes the sudden realization that there can be no middle ground on this issue. When one strips abortion to its bare bones, it's painfully obvious that a fetus either is or is not a living human from conception. This living human either continues to live or is killed. The fetus can't just be 'a little' human, or perhaps 'not human' at one point and then human at another. He or she either is or is not. There is no middle ground.



And it's really quite exciting. All of those fence sitters and ear-stoppers are finally starting to choose sides when the comfy middle ground gets swiped out from under their feet by none other than Barack Obama himself.



It seems that in a deliciously ironic twist of fate, it appears that Obama's radical abortion policies and disrespectful stunts like speaking at Notre Dame when the faith community did not want or welcome him, may actually help usher in the next big wave of the human rights movement and make America as pro-life as it is anti-slavery. Because like it or not, abortion abolition is the new civil rights movement and the majority of America is on our side.

May 21, 2009 - Back in California and Oh What News!

Today is my first official day back home. I opened my inbox this morning to see pathetic pleading from Planned Parenthood asking their activists (yes, I am a spy on their mailing lists.. shhh!) to help stop the defunding of "family planning" in California.

Sure thing psychos. I'll get right on that.

Click here to find your elected official and tell them to defund "Family Planning" and Planned Parenthood.

May 15, 2009 – BRB! On my way to Notre Damn. I mean, Dame.

Well friends, I’m leaving tomorrow morning to join the hundreds of brave men and women taking a stand for the preborn at Notre Dame. You should too, if you are able. Have you ever been an activist? It’s frikkin’ amazing!

Anyhoo, I’ll have updates, articles and reports on confronting Obama the Abortion Monger upon my return. Keep me - and the countless other peaceful protesters – in your prayers! God Bless!


May 14, 2009 – Planned Parenthood Invites Kids to Start “Sex Messaging” With Friendly Strangers

The thought of a teenage girl sitting on her bed in the middle of the night texting a stranger about sex is just plain creepy. Add to the mix the fact that the stranger is a sex-obsessed, state-employed, tax-payer funded promiscuity and abortion monger, and the creep factor increases exponentially.

May 12, 2009 – NARAL Fights For the ‘Right’ to Forced Abortions In Missouri.

Missouri House Bill 434 makes it a heavy crime to engage in domestic violence or harassment intended to force a woman into having an abortion.

This will prevent and defend pregnant women who are victims of pro-choice stalking, threats and assault. NARAL says: “Not on our watch!”

May 10, 2009 – Happy Mother’s Day to ALL Mothers!

Happy Mother’s Day to my very own mother and best friend, Suzi Edmonds! I love you mommy! You done good! (If I may say so myself! tee hee!)

To all of the mothers who chose life, may this day be a truly happy one for you!

Despite the drivel Planned Parenthood is shoving down our throats this weekend, I'm afraid it's a biological fact that having an abortion doesn’t make you un-pregnant, it just makes you the mother of a dead baby. To those who regret lost motherhood, may you be blessed and find true healing and forgiveness. We love you!

Let’s take a moment this mother’s day to pray for those who are suffering in silence and haven’t yet found the peace that only a perfect God can bring.


May 9, 2009 – Dr. Alan Keyes, Randall Terry and Over 20 Others Arrested at Notre Dame

Click here to view video of the arrests at, StopObamaNotreDame.com

"Notre Dame arrests Christians who defend babies, and honors a man who kills them. This is an open wound in the Church. The question is this: Will a Catholic Bishop step up and demand this betrayal of the Faith be brought to a halt?"


May 8, 2009 - Heroes of Notre Dame University

I received a letter from Chuck Konzelman, an ’82 graduate of Notre Dame University, who mailed his class ring to Rev. Jenkins in response to ND honoring pro-abort Obama.

Chuck writes, “Some will argue that the degree is ‘only symbolic’. But the world attaches value to symbols. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t employ them in the first place. And for the president, that degree will be a trophy of sorts... tangible proof that for all their pro-life bluster, Catholics can be ‘brought into the fold’ with a bit of lip service... followed by completely discounting their views in toto.”

I applaud heroes like Chuck who are fed up with Catholic institutions betraying their bishops and putting secular prestige ahead of principle. God bless you for your courageous stand!


May 7, 2009 - The George Washington University “Most Outstanding Student Organization of The Year” Award Goes To… Cross Vandalizing Democrats!

The award recognizes organizations with “exceptional performance in motivating and organizing fellow students to enhance campus life”.

This particular group “enhanced campus life” by stealing Roe vs. Wade memorial crosses from a free-speech protected pro-life display and hanging the crosses upside down, draping condoms and scrawling anti-Christian messages on the church property.

"Let's never forget the fun we had making this organization great," the Democrat group was quoted as saying upon receiving the honor.

Discovering the Meaning of Love and Life Chapter 1 THE BOY

Discovering the Meaning of Love and Life

Chapter 1

THE BOY

The boy watched the clock. It ticked to the moment he waited for all day. The moment he would play baseball.

School meant only two things to the boy: recess and after school.

He remembered kicking the ball. It hit his female teacher in the head. Next thing he knew he was in class with the teacher walking up to his desk. She wrote a big red F on the top of the his paper. He put a line though the front of the F, which made it look like a A. She turned red in the face. After that the boy got only bad grades.

Figuring if he was dumb a least he would have fun. He daydreamed of making a fantastic catch like Willie Mays. He felt in his blood the bravado of Juan Marichal whose pitching delivery started with his foot kicking above his head. He wanted to be like Willie McCovey who kept playing despite terrible knee injuries. Willie Mc would run around the bases even though he could hardly walk.

The ballplayers loved what they did. He wanted to be like them using every bit of talent to achieve heroics. After school, the boy was happy playing baseball and daydreaming. This was his last year of elementary school.

After a long walk he walked by the sign the middle school. He didn’t notice the sign. His mind was occupied. He had just walk through the middle of the gangs.

The whites were on one side of the street and on the other side were the Chicanos. For the first time he saw what gangs. Inside the school everything was cliquish. Few of the kids from elementary school went to Fischer. His baseball playing afternoons were over.

Becoming a paperboy and he threw his energy into the paper route. Hating school his only ambition was to get out.

The next year there were still to gangs, but now they were Chicano and Black. The neighborhood was changing and so was the world.

Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered. The neighboring highschool rioted so all the Blacks were let out of Fischer. The world was turning ugly.

Discovering the Meaning of Love and Life

INTRODUCTION

This essays will touch the two levels of knowing: personal and objective.

Chapter one will be personal. The beginning of chapters two through nine will give episodes in the boys life.

The rest of each chapter will deal with exploration of these episodes. Exploration vehicles will be history, philosophy, literature and science. We will attempt a voyage to discover the meaning of love and life.
