Molesting children

Protection and prayer are important

Why do British royals, holy rollers like cardinals, and Western political elites crave pedophilia so very much? Controversial David Icke explains; the may be too disturbing to countenance or accept.

Icke has been reporting on deceased Jimmy Savile's pedophilia, child trafficking, and procurement of hapless kids for years. Yet only now with the enormous BBC scandal is Icke being taken seriously. 

An episode of the "Liberty Tactics" show features Icke (davidicke.com) where he discloses not only royal pedophilia that involved Princess Diana, but child abductions from orphanages and care homes, necrophilia, and abuse of mentally and physically handicapped individuals.

The BBC's Savile is notorious in England for his horrific sex abuses

The accusations are so shocking that no right thinking person can take them seriously at first. But Icke goes deeper to implicate unseen forces inspiring this aberrant behavior that even involves killing children in rich, influential circles. These forces first inspire then enter or "possess" a person and thereby engage in the activity by proxy, ruining various lives along the way.

Did the rich and powerful not invite them in to gain such power? So is it not, in that sense and to that extent, also their karma for which they will also meet with the consequences? And when Hollywood starlets say an "Illuminati" group

Hypocritical homosexual haven the Vatican, corporate Capital of Catholicism, moves "age of consent" up from 12

I surrender. I didn't know he was 11.

(GSN) Pope Francis has announced an overhaul of the Vatican City [State] criminal code, with the age of consent raised and stiffer punishments for pedophiles within the city state. The Holy See also known as Vatican City’s equal age of consent is being raised from 12 to 18 following the announcement of an overhaul of the Catholic Church’s criminal code by Pope Francis. [Bishops, cardinals, and visiting priests have to have some limits. They can consort in nearby Rome if they don't like it.] More
 

[Zen Buddhist] Japan finally bans child porn

Hey, kids, want to see some anime?

Possession of child pornography has finally been made illegal in Japan, but paedophilic images in manga comic books remain legal.

Japan on Wednesday finally fell into line with other major developed countries and made the possession of child pornography illegal. But the sometimes graphic images of pedophilia in manga comic books remain legal.
 
The upper house of parliament voted overwhelmingly for a bill revising laws under which only the production and distribution of child pornography had been banned.
 

"Spornosexuality": men's devolution

The legislation cleared the lower house earlier this month.
 

Campaigners had long urged Japan to toughen its stance on child pornography, complaining it was a major source of the material for global markets.
 

The new legislation bans possession of photographs and videos depicting real children aged below 18, but it does not include drawings or digitally-created imagery. More

Ah, don't touch me! You're a girl!

Is the Protestant world teetering on the edge of a sex-abuse scandal similar to the one rocking the Catholic Church? Reporter Kathryn Joyce, whose cover story in The American Prospect profiles Boz Tchividjian, a law professor at Liberty University -- a school founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell -- and former prosecutor who worked on many sexual abuse cases. Prof. Tchividjian used his experience to found GRACE -- Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment. GRACEmade headlines in February when a famous evangelical school, Bob Jones University, hired it to interview faculty and students about their experiences with sexual assault, then fired it before the it had a chance to report the results -- only to hire it back after a public outcry. Prof. Tchividjian happens to be the grandson of the famous evangelist Rev. Billy Graham. More

UN grills Vatican officials on sex abuse

Maybe I still run things in secret. *Giggle*

A U.N. committee has found that the systematic sex abuse [of children] by Catholic priests in the Vatican's corporate body (the Roman Catholic Church) amounts to torture.

["Torture" is defined by international treaties to which the Holy See is apparently a signatory, or the court might not have any say over their crimes against humanity. 

Small "country" but very, very rich

The Vatican is not only Roman Catholic HQ. It is also a tiny city-state independent of Italy and Rome. Vatican City is its capital. It has massive cash, art, and gold reserves in its own corrupt banking system and private financial institutions. It has a tiny population of roughly 1,000 elite clerics and Swiss guards, and a CEO whose rotating position is popularly called "the papacy," which Pope Francis currently fronts, and which Benedict may still run the way Dick Cheney ran the U.S. while G.W. Bush shook hands and acted a bumbling fool too simple to be much of a threat.]

At the Holy See's first appearance before the committee, experts on the panel peppered the representative with questions. On Tuesday, the Vatican has a chance to respond. LISTEN

Hundreds of thousands of people filled St. Peter's Square [in the Holy See] and the streets of Rome on Sunday to witness the extraordinary sight of two popes -- one reigning and one retired -- declaring two of their predecessors as saints.

Fr. Beniof, Our Lady of Angels (Shirley Jahad)

Most Catholics around the world are celebrating the sainthood of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII. [Two groups are conspicuously absent from that list, purists who recognize the anti-Catholic violations by the extremely popular Pope John Paul II and victims of child molestation or to put it more palatably "clerical sexual abuse" often involving homosexual rape.] The historic canonization this weekend has stirred controversy for some victims of the clergy sex abuse scandal. Pope John Paul II is widely credited with helping melt down the Iron Curtain, traveling the world, and supporting oppressed people. Officials with the L.A. Archdiocese said he is particularly popular in Los Angeles, where 75 percent of parishioners are Latino. They say Pope John Paul II visited Mexico more than any other country besides Poland, his homeland. Now Pope John Paul II is reaching "sainthood" in record time. But some say he should not be named a saint because of the church sex abuse scandal. LISTEN

 

The ceremony was the first time two pontiffs -- John XXIII and John Paul II -- were made saints at the same time. The AP says:

"Francis recited the saint-making formula in Latin, saying that after deliberating, consulting, and praying for divine assistance 'we declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such...'"

Beloved Polish pope

It was also the first time in the history of the Roman Catholic Church that a living and a former pope performed a mass together. Pope Francis was joined by emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, who "retired" [or was chased out pending indictment for crimes against humanity and banking irregularities at the Vatican bank under his tenure and his long-time affiliation as head of the Office of the Inquisition under the previous Pope John Paul II] last year.

Hitler survived, moved to Argentina

Hitler in Argentina

It is strange that the "Nazi Pope" Ratzinger, aka Benedict I -- a self-confessed member of the Hitler Youth -- was deposed and replaced by the first Vatican pontiff/CEO from Argentina. Last night George Knapp (Coast to Coast) interviewed author and researcher Harry Cooper (sharkhunters.com), author of Hitler in Argentina who makes the case that Adolf Hitler, "the Fuhrer," did not commit suicide. That was a stand in. He and Eva Braun and enormous riches of top Nazi brass were ferried away to Argentina (and neighboring Antarctica) at the end of WWII to live out a full life. The show began with an hour of Dan Johnson, the founder of PANDA (People Against the National Defense Act) sharing an update on new assaults to our civil liberties. More

 

We made a good choice in Francis I

Many of the faithful had camped in the square to claim spots for the mass. Others prayed in all-night vigils in churches in downtown Rome.

Today, they celebrated under flags and banners bearing the colors of the Vatican and Poland, Pope John Paul's homeland.

I wanted the job longer like Hitler -Ratzinger

"Italy's interior ministry predicted 1 million would watch the Mass from the square, the streets surrounding it and nearby piazzas where giant TV screens were set up to accommodate the crowds eager to follow along," the AP said. More

Jesus was married, papyrus shows (video)

Ashley Wells, Pat Macpherson, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; NPR; ABC News via Yahoo News

ABC News reporting on authentic papyrus referring to Jesus's wife (abcnews.com)

Gospel of Jesus's Wife: "Jesus said to them, 'my wife...' " and "she will be able to be my disciple" written in the Coptic language of Egypt, the fragment contains the phrases.

 

In 2012 [a year of revelations], the discovery of a tattered papyrus fragment rocked the biblical studies community after some alleged its text proved that Jesus was married.

 

Now tests show the fragment is not only likely legitimate -- it's also very old.

 

The controversial fragment known as the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" dates to between the sixth and ninth centuries, and could possibly date back as early as the second to fourth centuries, according to a newly published study in the Harvard Theological Review.

Of course my rabbi son was married

The fragment -- which contains the words, "Jesus said to them, 'my wife'" -- first came to light several years ago.
 
Harvard University Divinity Professor Karen L. King, who announced the fragment's existence at a conference in 2012 [declared by the Vatican to be "fake"..."probably" (NY Times)], was quick to point out that the fragment does not prove that Jesus had a wife. [See below as the eminent religious scholar Princeton University Professor of Religion Elaine Pagels weighs. See also as Bart D. Ehrman (author of How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee), Mark Jordan, and King discuss the god's marriage.]

 

Jesus was not Nordic but African

"The main topic of the fragment is to affirm that women who are mothers and wives can be disciples of Jesus -- a topic that was hotly debated in early Christianity as celibate virginity increasingly became highly valued," King said in a statement.

 

The document first came to King's attention in 2011. She had it examined by Roger Bagnall, director of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University. Bagnall's initial findings were that the fragment was ancient, which lead to more testing.

From Harvard University:

Wait, my lord God made love and everything?!

Over the past two years, extensive testing of the papyrus and the carbon ink, as well as analysis of the handwriting and grammar, all indicate that the existing material fragment dates to between the sixth and ninth centuries CE. None of the testing has produced any evidence that the fragment is a modern fabrication or forgery. More

Garuda and Naga on Mex flag and his palace

(History) Using war to create one world-religion: Saint, Roman Emperor "Constantine the Great" (Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus, 272-337 AD) converted many to Christianity by killing those who refused. Co-Emperor Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313, proclaiming religious tolerance for the empire. Constantine vanquished Licinius during a civil war and went on killing. He replaced the capital of Byzantium with Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), later the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over 1,000 years.

Nazi insignia embraced by Catholic Church

The story revealed in "Constantine's Sword" is shocking. It reveals the Holy Roman Catholic Church's involvement in Germany's attempted take over of the world.

Within two weeks of Adolf Hitler coming to full power in March 1933, the Vatican's Foreign Minister Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (Vatican Secretary of State, who went on to become Pope Pious XII) sent the new Fuhrer warm greetings.

 

Bringing Catastrophe to Palestinians like...

Treaty negotiations began between the Church's Pacelli, Secretary of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs Giuseppe Pizzardo, Cardinal Eugenio, and Germany 's Vice Chancellor under Hitler Franz von Papen.

By July they signed the Reichskonkordat (Vatican-Nazi treaty), and the Vatican became the first foreign power to enter into a bilateral treaty with Hitler. 

Was the murderer "Saint Constantine" really a saint?

The accord included a secret provision that the Church defend Jews who converted to Catholicism, but it indicated that it would have nothing to say about Nazi assaults against Jews who remained Jews.
 

Jesus' robe, the Messiah's Magic Tunic, in Trier

A few days after signing the treaty for Hitler, former German Chancellor and Hitler's Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen represented the Fuhrer at the unveiling of Jesus's seamless tunic, the Holy Robe of Trier, which would not be shown again until 25 years later. The same robe that had come into the Gospels as proof that the Messiah had come. That robe had become the centre of the celebration of the church's treaty with Hitler.

Over the next three weeks more than two million pilgrims poured into Trier to see the robe, now the symbol of the Nazi alliance of church and state. Cardinal Pacelli went on to become Pope Pious the 12th. Whereas it may be unfair to call him "Hitler's Pope," it is fair to call him "Hitler's Cardinal (who became a pope)."

"NO WAR IS HOLY"

"Constantine's Sword" is a historical documentary on the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jews. Directed and produced by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Oren Jacoby, the film was inspired by former priest James P. Carroll's 2001 book Constantine's Sword.

It is the story of author and former Catholic priest James P. Carroll's journey to uncover the roots of war. Carroll, whose father Joseph Carroll was a famous U.S. Air Force general, implies that there has been a relationship between religiously-inspired violence and war.

This has been taking place beginning with the adoption of Christianity by the genocidal Holy Roman Emperor Constantine I in 312 AD.

Constantine was convinced that he had won a battle because he had followed the instructions of a vision to inscribe a sign of the cross (labarum) on the shields of his imperial Christian soldiers. In Carroll's view, this event marked the beginning of an unholy alliance between the military and the Church.

Carroll focuses on Catholic and evangelical anti-Judaism and invokes the cross as a symbol of the long history of xenophobic Christian violence against Jews and non-Christians, from the Crusades through the Roman Inquisition and the creation of the Jewish ghettoes, to the Holocaust (the "whole burnt," which some deny, not to be confused with the Israeli Catastrophe, which no one denies).

Carroll also charges that there is an ongoing evangelical infiltration of the U.S. military (Church supported military-industrial complex) and that this has had negative consequences for U.S. foreign policy.

 

The film's final chapter, "No War is Holy," concludes with views of military cemeteries as Aaron Neville sings "With God On Our Side." [Perhaps the film budget did not allow for "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition."]

It is exciting and encouraging to have experienced firsthand how disappointed, disgusted, and frustrated many people are with B.S.

Before Obama became president, his message of "change" had many falling in love with the well-groomed CIA operative and Illinois senator. One busty individual, model Amber Lee Ettinger, became an instant Internet hit when she declared her "love" for the then-candidate. Ettinger's "Obama Girl" video went viral. But years of the commander-in-chief in office has her looking for a new crush. She joins RT America with more on why she has had a change of heart.

A new Obama Girl video -- “Still Got a Crush on Obama” -- was released in 2012: If “Obama Girl” looked different but sounded exactly the same, that’s because Leah Kauffman -- the original singer and songwriter behind the 2008 “Crush on Obama” song and video -- actually stars in this one.  Last time Kauffman and partner Ben Relles, who is not involved with this new video, hired a [hot] model, Amber Lee Ettinger, to lip-synch the original song. But in 2012 Kauffman finally stepped up to take center-stage. VIDEO
