....scientists have established the first
case of the new H1N1 influenza ("swine flu") strain showing resistance
to Tamiflu, the main antiviral flu drug? (1)
The
World Health Organization declared an influenza pandemic earlier this
month and advised governments to prepare for a long-term battle against
an unstoppable new flu virus. The WHO had no immediate comment on the
case of Tamiflu resistance.
The United Nations
agency raised its pandemic flu alert to phase 6 on a six-point scale,
indicating the first influenza pandemic since 1968 is under way.
This case does not
change the recommendation to use Tamiflu, the institute said.

.....June 26th at 2 PM came and went and the Patriarch of the Orthodox
Church in
Ethiopia did not say a word about the Ark of the Covenant allegedly
kept in Ethiopia, under his care, as promised. (1)
Considering the coverage (1)(2)
given to the announcement and the comments made,
some as much as six days before the announced event, maybe
he was
"convinced" by those who wield the power to fade into the woodwork.
After all, "their" probable purpose and ultimate plan had been
amply publicized.
If we consider the regal like status maintained by
the person of an Orthodox Patriarch plus his
very holy status in the eyes of the faithful, most specially in an
African country, he must have had every
intention of making the announcement but... was "convinced" otherwise.
Considering the fact that within a week after we wrote/faxed to a few
key news outlets and a handful of officials the hard-to-argue-with
proof that there was no real Cuban Missile Crisis (3), "they" logged nine
Missile Crisis specials in a seven day period - preempting, on short
notice, prime time programs. We would not be surprised that they saw
our handwriting on the wall again. After all - our credibility in
"their" eyes has only increased since the early nineties.
We now get faster responses by posting and e-mailing than we did in the
early nineties by snail-mailing.
Now, let's see what their next step will be. A fall in the bathtub by

What is Legatus?:
Legatus—Latin for "ambassador" (and the term for a general in the Roman
army)—is a worldwide networking group "designed exclusively for
top-ranking Catholic business leaders." Its main stated duty is to
bring such leaders together for closed monthly networking meetings. The
group calls itself "the conduit connecting two powerful realities, the
challenge of top-tier business leadership and a religious tradition
second to none."
History of Legatus:
The
group was founded in 1987 by Tom Monaghan, the devout Catholic who
founded Domino's Pizza. It now boasts "thousands" of members throughout
America and in Europe.

.....there is talk (1)
- unconfirmed at the
source as of yet - that once the "swine flu" vaccine is available for
mass use in July its application will be mandatory in accordance with
the Level 6 classification the World Health Organization assigend to
said flu?
Vaccine against the
"swine flu" will be ready in July.
It has been developed in half the time it used to take to develop flu
vaccines due to Baxter International's patented technology. This means
about 13 weeks from drawing board to injection instead of the usual 26.
Never mind time for testing to see if it is safe.
You remember Baxter, don't you? It
is the company that in February
delivered seasonal flu vaccine to 18 countries that was laced with live
"bird flu" virus. (2)
With the declaration earlier this
month by the World Health
Organization (WHO) that the "swine flu" has reached pandemic Level 6
(they had to change the definition of level 6 to make this
determination work), a whole series of bureaucratic prerogatives have
been triggered, and local,
state, national, and international
agencies have been further empowered. In the U.S., all laws and
conditions are now in place to see to it that you are forced to be
injected with the new "swine flu" vaccine, whether you want to be or
not. (3) In the U.S., the government
is now able to mandate universal mass vaccinations at gunpoint.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, there will be no
exemptions. "A certain amount of human wastage" is expected.

on June 24th, 2009 [Traditional
celebration of the birth of
John the Baptist]
.....the celebration of the birth of John the
Baptist should be on the 25th?
The time gap between the birth of Jesus and John is based on the
following Scripture:
24
And after those days,
Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the
days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26 And
in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a
city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
[Luke 1]
and
56
And Mary abode with her about
three months; and she returned to her own house. [Luke 1]
Of course, one could argue that the Scripture states "in the sixth
month" and "about three months" and not "exactly six months later" and
"three months" but, being that these scriptural readings were used to
set the date of the birth of John the Baptist, it would have been
logical to choose June 25th and not the 24th. After all, the birth of
Jesus is observed on December 25th (1) and not the 24th.

chosen as the Birth of Christ

.....when Jesus said: Be you
therefore
perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. [Matthew 5:48] He was not asking for
something that was not possible?
The Faithful automatically discounts that command (yes, it is not a
mere suggestion - it is a command for those who wish to follow Him)
because it appears impossible -
unattainable. Who could possibly be perfect as God, the Father, is
perfect?
If we carefully note the
context within which that command was given, then we can see how
attainable it really is.
Let us review the context:
44
But I say to
you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for
them that persecute and calumniate you:
45 That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven,
who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the
just and the unjust.
46 For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do
not even the publicans this?
47 And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also
the heathens this? [Matthew
5]
Immediately after
verse
44-47 (above) comes verse 48 (below) which is the one we opened today's
column with:
Be
you therefore
perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
Therefore the
perfection of the Father Jesus spoke of is clearly defined in verses
44-47.
The closer we get to fully "Love
your
enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that
persecute and calumniate you" the closer we get to be Perfect as
the Father is Perfect, which, by the way, is Absolute Perfection.
Hard to do? So are push-ups and dieting! The difference is that with the Grace of God we
can indeed learn love our enemies, learn to do good to those who hate
us and learn to pray for our persecutors and calumniators.
Therefore, brethren, we spend lifetimes trying to outdo the proverbial
Joneses, climbing to the top of the ladder of our profession or
trade (while stepping upon everyone that does not get out of the
way) etc., etc. but... what do we have at the end? Nothing
lasting. Absolutely nothing!
Have you ever seen an armored truck trailing a funeral procession as it
weaves its way to "everyone's final neighborhood" - a cemetery? But the
closer you get to the
Perfection of the Father, the closer to the Father you will spend
Eternity.

In a book - The Last Secret of Fatima
(2) - which is
presented as a book authored by Cardinal Bertone with the foreword by

Bertone, we find out/read, among other things, that:
(a) During his meeting with Sister
Lucia, a meeting requested by H.H. John Paul II, there was not a
professional interpreter present;
(b) The
interview was not recorded; and
(c) In
it we read that:
"I
showed her these pages (3) . Obviously, her vision was failing. So I
let her physically touch her letter, turn it over in her hands, examine
it, and take time to identify it and put it into focus. Those
were long, suspenseful moments, and we sat there looking at each other
wondering what would happen. Then Sister Lucia exclaimed: "Yes,
yes, these are my sheets and my envelope; these are the sheets I used
and this is my writing. This is my envelope, this is my writing, this
is my text."
We do not think it necessary that we comment further on the above.

says former Vice President Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama
administration's approach to terrorism almost suggests "he's wishing
that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his
point."? (1)
The M+G+R Foundation comments:
It seems that God is pushing us to address this issue, which has been
in
the proverbial ink-well for over two weeks. Therefore, we now will.
President Obama' policies have been relentlessly interfering with the
plans of those who are "pulling the strings" since before, but
including, the assassination of President Kennedy (2), the theatrics of
the Cuban Missile Crisis
(3), through the
9-11 attacks, anthrax in the mail
panic, Iraq's alleged WMD, etc., etc.
Speaking clearly: For much less than that President Kennedy and Dr. M.
L. King were assassinated. Thanks be to God, "they" have enough sense
to realize that if something happens to President Obama, he will
become, not only a US Martyr, but a Martyr for all the dreams and hopes
of most of the World - dreams and hopes which do not coincide with
"their" plans. Just as Ché Guevara became much greater
than life,
thus, far more influential than when alive, "they" would be insane in
considering harming the person of President Obama, unless, of
course it were through a Princess Diana type "accident" (4).
The most effective - and well proven in 9-11 - technique would be a
really major attack on US soil. That would slam the brakes on all
irritating (to them) policies of the Obama Administration. Not only
that,
President Obama would be forced then to dance to "their" (5) music while abandoning
all his
dreams and promises.
Therefore, Mr. Panetta has really hit the proverbial nail on its head.
Let us continue to pray, for only God can minimize the suffering that
awaits mankind while Divine Justice is dispensed and Prophecy fulfilled.

....only on the basis of the
effort invested on debunking the effect of subliminal advertising one
could assured of its effectiveness?
We state "...only on the basis..."
because there are so many indirect professional confirmation of
brainwashing techniques (1)
that are very effective, that it is amazing to the extent some have
gone to disprove it - even reputable hoax busters snopes.com (2) has jumped in the
bandwagon.
Let us carefully read - with and open mind - what Wikipedia states (3):
....James
McDonald Vicary pioneered the use of
eye-blink analysis to obtain clues about subjects' levels of emotional
tension when exposed to various stimuli. He also studied the phenomena
of impulse buying and word association.
He is most famous for having
perpetrated
a fraudulent subliminal advertising study in 1957. In it, he claimed
that an experiment in which moviegoers were repeatedly shown
0.03-second advertisements for Coca-Cola and popcorn significantly
increased product sales. Based on his claims the CIA produced a report
"The operational potential of subliminal perception" in 1958 that
led to subliminal cuts being banned in the US. It suggested that
“Certain individuals can at certain times and under certain
circumstances be influenced to act abnormally without awareness of the
influence”. When challenged later to replicate the study, he failed to
find significant results. Some doubt the original study was ever
carried out at all.
In a 1962 Advertising Age interview,
Vicary admitted that the original study was "a gimmick" and that the
amount of data was "too small to be meaningful". He shied away from
media attention after the disclosure. His papers are held by the Thomas
J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.
The cover up is so transparent that is beyond amusing.
(a)
Some "Joe the Plumber" claims,
allegedly without producing supporting data, a simple technique to
manipulate people's minds without their consent.
(b)
The
CIA, obviously having
nothing better to do, study, and produce a report
on the issue - a Secret Report, mind you - in the same year - 1957 (4).
(c)
Five
years later "Joe the Plumber" voluntarily (?) exposes his "fraud" and
drops out
from public view.
(d)
The
CIA report, which was based on allegedly a false claim
from an unknown "Joe the Plumber", was declassified thirty seven years later
and
publicly posted fifty years
later.
Brethren, either the general public and the first two tiers of highly
educated individuals in the world are legally blind or we can
truly read minds and see through two inch think plates of lead.
Someone should inform former President George W. Bush that someone
stole
their campaign money by using such technique in his first Presidential
campaign. Used, of course, until they were caught "red handed" and

key part of this particular and highly unusual event (i.e., Mary

Catherine asked Mary why they were not shining, she was told that they

verify and destroy.
and
But
will the Antichrist be a homosexual?
Having seen what the Bible says of sodomy, we have no further to look
than the book of Daniel, chapter 11 to find our answer. It says,
“Neither shall he [Antichrist] regard... the desire of women....” As I
said at the onset, I am not the first to draw attention to this, but
the verbiage is clear.
First of all, according to his statement ....God
dealt with many other sins in various ways, there is no
other for which he came down from heaven to verify and destroy.
He
seems to have forgotten the worldwide cataclysm (2) we know as Noah's
Flood.
Secondly, the part of the Book of Daniel he alludes to (notice - he did
not quite quote it) is Daniel 11:37. Let us look at how that particular
verse reads, starting with the original one - the Bible of the Jews -
the Tanakh.
The Tanakh: He will not have regard for the god of his
ancestors or for the one dear to women; he will not have regard from
any god, but will magnify himself above all. [Here the reference
is to the gods of the women.]
The Douay-Rheims Bible:
...he shall make no account of the
God of his
fathers: and he shall follow
the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise
up against all things. [Here the reference is that he
will lust after women.]
The New International Version:
He will show no regard for the gods
of his
fathers or for the one
desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself
above them all. [Here,
again, the reference is to the gods of the women.]
The New American Standard
Bible: He will show no regard
for the gods
of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for
any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all. [Here
the translators are beginning
to change the god preferred by the
women to he not
preferring women.]
The
King James Bible Version: Neither
shall he regard the God of his
fathers, nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
[Here we see where the New American
Standard Bible got their version.]
and finally, from the Spanish version prepared by Msgr.
Straubinger - which we consider the most accurate translation fro
original texts that we have found in English, Spanish or Portuguese....
Msgr. Straubinger Version
(translated from Spanish by The
M+G+R Foundation): He
will not respect the gods of his
ancestors, nor the preferred divinity of the women. He will not mind
any
god; because he will exalt himself above them all. [Here we see
the brilliance of Msgr.
Starubinger's translation - "the preferred divinity of the women" which
even surpasses the Tanakh in accuracy. ]
Once again we illustrate the great
importance of knowing (3)
how to read, assimilate and teach the Word of God - most specially when
others are erroneously placing their blind faith in every
word uttered.

Woe to the world
because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but
nevertheless woe to that man
by whom the scandal cometh [Matthew 18:7]
...most likely had the example of Eleazar in mind?
2 Machabees 6: 18-31
18
Eleazar one of
the chief of the scribes, a man advanced in
years, and of a comely countenance, was pressed to open his mouth to
eat swine's flesh.
19 But he, choosing rather a most glorious death than a hateful life,
went forward voluntarily to the torment.
20 And considering in what manner he was come to it, patiently
bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of
life.
21
But they that
stood by, being moved with wicked pity,
for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired
that flesh might be brought, which it was lawful for him to eat, that
he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded of the
flesh of the sacrifice:
22 That by so doing he might be delivered from death: and for
the sake of their old friendship with the man they did him this
courtesy.
23 But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his
ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good
life and conversation from a child: and he answered without delay,
according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that
he would rather be sent into the other world.
24 For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble:
whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of
fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens:
25 And so they, through my dissimulation, and for a little time
of a corruptible life, should be deceived, and hereby I should bring a
stain and a curse upon my old age.
26
For though, for
the present time, I should be delivered from
the punishments of men, yet should I not escape the hand of the
Almighty neither alive nor dead.
27 Wherefore by departing manfully out of this life, I shall shew
myself worthy of my old age:
28 And I shall leave an example of fortitude to young men, if
with a ready mind and constancy I suffer an honourable death, for the
most venerable and most holy laws. And having spoken thus, he was
forthwith carried to execution.
29 And they that led him, and had been a little before more
mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they
thought were uttered out of arrogancy.
30 But when he was now ready to die with the stripes, he
groaned, and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest
manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer
grevious pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these
things because I fear thee.
31
Thus did this man die, leaving not only
to young men, but
also to the whole nation, the memory of his death for an example of
virtue and fortitude.
Let us not forget Eleazar's faith nor his moving
example since many of
us will be called to make a similar choice.

...on May 29, last Friday, the U.S.
Embassy at Baghdad planned to hold what the invitation said was the
first-ever U.S. Embassy Gay Pride Theme Party at Baghdaddy's, which is
the embassy employee association's pub? (1)
"Come
celebrate
the start of Summer with color . . . and in costume!" the May 10
invitation says. "Dress in drag or as a gay icon. All are welcome." The
invitation was attached to what was called an "All Hands Alerts" e-mail.
An embassy spokesman said by way of explanation:
"This is an event organized and sponsored by a group of employees.
Given the lack of places to meet in Baghdad, the embassy allows groups
to use its social facilities for events on a first-come, first-served
basis."
The M+G+R Foundation comments:
As you may see,
the US authorities - regardless of the Administration in charge - do
not seem to run out of ideas on how to make Muslims hate us more and
want us out of their lands at any cost - any cost.
The level of stupidity of the responsible authorities can only
be explained when one acknowledges the reality that God has given satan
a free hand for forty two months.
God has given us two hints: (a) The collapse of the US financial icons;
and (b) The collapse of the US Industrial icons, GM and Chrysler.
To anyone who is not able to see what will collapse next, we would
recommend much, much prayer.

...as the latest Berlusconi scandal
raged in Italy -
a scandal which is begining to rock the much jaded (Yawn!) Italian electorate - the
Italian Bishop's Conference response was reported by the press (1) thus:
In
what many see
as a sign of Mr. Berlusconi’s grip on the levers of power in Italy and
the Vatican, the Italian Bishops Conference this week essentially gave
him a pass, or at least a no comment, calling for “adult behavior,” but
saying that each person’s conduct was a matter “of individual
conscience.”
The latest scandal is well summarized by the same report (1) thus:
When
the wife of
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi took to the front pages this month to
announce that she wanted a divorce and accused him of dallying with
very young women, it seemed like yet another storm that Italy’s most
powerful man would easily weather. For years, Italy has winked at Mr.
Berlusconi, where other nations might have glared.
First came a rare and inescapable torrent of
speculation — in blogs, on television and radio, at dinner tables
across Italy — about the nature and origins of his relationship with
Noemi Letizia, a pretty blond aspiring model whose 18th birthday party
he attended in Naples last month, and who has said she calls him Daddy.
This was the party that caused Mr. Berlusconi’s wife to declare their
marriage, one year older than Ms. Letizia, over.
At
least the
Italian Bishop's Conference is being consistent with Vatican Policy,
after all, on January 2002 the Vatican published a ruling that
Pederasty is only a crime against customs. (2)

...the North Korean nuclear
threat is being greatly downplayed in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
(1) and that the
overall threat of a "rogue" state building (or otherwise owning) a
nuclear device and delivering it is next to nil, according to a
professional report aired in Al-Jazeera, the Arab CNN equivalent?
The M+G+R Foundation comments:
Let
us
see... An obviously minor flu outbreak has been treated as if it were a
raging Spanish
Flu pandemic, purposely throwing the world population into a near
panic
yet....
..... North Korea seems to be celebrating, on
our behalf, the 4th of
July
every day by launching missiles and running explicitly forbidden
nuclear
tests at will
while....
..... Iran has served notice to the world
that they will continue their nuclear program....
and...
....Pakistan and India - two nuclear powers -
are as politically stable
as a bowl of Jell-O being transported through a very bumpy road...
but....
.....the world is being
told by experts that no one should really worry about a nuclear threat.
There seems to be something wrong, very
wrong, with "this picture". Of
course, if we understand that the flu panic is being programmed and
controlled by
"them" and it is God, not "them", Who truly controls the use of a
nuclear
device, then the picture makes sense, doesn't it? You see, "their" plan
does not include the use of nuclear weapons.
