Pope explains how doubt was created in Judas. (1)


Jesus Christ comments: [4] Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? [5] Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.  [Matthew 7]

miguel de Portugal comments: It looks like Ratzinger continues to be informed of what we published since we see another "coincidence" - He is precisely speaking about Virtual Snares. In the case of Judas, satan created in Judas "doubt".

Think of it: How could anyone doubt Jesus and His Power and Wisdom after having lived with Him for over three years? Only a Virtual Doubt planted by satan could have done it.

Confessions of an Ex-Priest: How Catholic Seminary Forms Victims and Forces False Forgiveness. (1)

On Sunday night around midnight, in the small town of Woodburn, Ore., a 12-year-old boy ran down a street screaming for help. A man dressed only in his underwear pursued him. The boy saw a group of people standing in a driveway and screamed, "Help me, a guy is chasing me." The bystanders drove the boy to his sister's home, where he explained, "Father Angel touched me in my privates."

This sounds like a scene out of a film, but this is not fiction. This is information taken from the Woodburn police department's probable cause statement.

On Monday, Rev. Angel Armando Perez was arrested. He faces allegations of first-degree sexual abuse, furnishing alcohol to a minor, using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct, and driving under the influence.

Like me, Father Perez was ordained in 2002, when the Catholic hierarchy's cover-up of sexual abuse was on the front page of nearly every U.S. publication. We received the same seminary "formation," which is the word used to describe the intellectual, psychological and spiritual overhaul that men undergo as they are "formed" into healthy, celibate and obedient priests.

When we were ordained 10 years ago, new priests were under a great deal of pressure. The people in the pews needed hope that our generation would change the duplicitous and corrupt clerical culture that had been unmasked. We had been "formed" to say all the right things.

miguel de Portugal comments: As we were saying....

Baghdad's embattled residents can finally get their milkshakes, chili-cheese dogs and buckets of crispy fried chicken. (1)

A wave of new American-style restaurants is spreading across the Iraqi capital, enticing customers hungry for alternatives to traditional offerings like lamb kebabs and fire-roasted carp.

The fad is a sign that Iraqis, saddled with violence for years and still experiencing almost daily bombings and shootings, are prepared to move on and embrace ordinary pleasures - like stuffing their faces with pizza.

Iraqi entrepreneurs and investors from nearby countries, not big multinational chains, are driving the food craze. They see Iraq as an untapped market of increasingly adventurous eaters where competition is low and the potential returns are high.

Among the latest additions is a sit-down restaurant called Chili House. Its glossy menu touts Caesar salads and hot wing appetizers along with all-American entrees like three-way chili, Philly cheesesteaks and a nearly half-pound "Big Mouth Chizzila" burger.

miguel de Portugal comments: This, brethren, is the reason for which we spent trillions of dollars, sent our children to be slaughtered and turned a millenary country into a parking lot.

Will our leaders learn? No, they will not. If they have not learned during the 6,000 years of "officially" recorded history, why would they now? This is why God will step in and will practically turn our "civilization" into a parking lot; no, correction.... turn it into a pasture.

The Top Three Myths about Myths. (1)

Myths used to be about ancient Greeks. They taught us about greed (King Midas and gold) or hubris (Icarus flying too close to the sun). But when authors write about myths today, they mean something more prosaic: a misconception, a statement that almost everyone thinks is true but really isn't.

As we approach Election Day, the number of such myths appears to be skyrocketing. Myth-busting articles from the past month include "Five Myths About Obama's Stimulus," "Five Myths About the U.S.-Iran Conflict," "Top Three Myths About Medicare," "Top Six Myths About Medicare" and, not to be outdone, "Ten Medicare Myths." We all love to see supposed myths debunked, but these opinion articles and blog posts are not as straightforward as they seem.

The format can give the impression that the author is merely replacing mistaken beliefs with impartial, politically neutral information. But most writers use myth-busting as a way to argue one side of an issue. In "Top Six Myths About Medicare," Mark Miller, a Reuters columnist, assembles mostly conservative complaints about Medicare and argues from a liberal perspective that each is false. And the same can be done from the opposing side.

There's nothing wrong with making a political argument - that's what commentators do. Myth-busting, however, encourages readers to think that the author is simply providing a public service.

miguel de Portugal comments: Another example of how the term "myth" is being used today: That the world's financial recovery is just around the corner is just a myth.... because there will not be a recovery and not much of a world, as we know it, left.

Pope Pius XII Was Framed by KGB. (1)

When former Romanian intelligence chief General Ion Mihai Pacepa made sensational claims in 2007 that Pope Pius XII was the victim of a Soviet plot to frame him as a Nazi sympathizer, historians and even even some of Pius' defenders were skeptical.

Yet as new evidence has come to light, Pacepa's claims are gaining wider support. The former spy chief, who defected to the United States in 1978, has just completed a new book called "Disinformation" in which, together with Ronald Rychlak, an expert on Pius XII and the Holocaust, he explains how the intricate framing operation was carried out.

The book promises to paint an intricate picture of the nefarious methods and labyrinthine plots used by the KGB to frame anti-communists such as the wartime Pope. CIA director James Woolsey writes in the book's introduction that it “will change the way you look at intelligence, foreign affairs, the press and much else.”

Its authors hope to show the extent to which the Kremlin's disinformation campaign thwarted the truth becoming known about Pius XII - a Pope who, according to recently discovered historical evidence, saved more Jewish lives during World War II than any other religious and political leader combined.

miguel de Portugal comments: We take anything reported by News Max with the proverbial grain of salt but, in this case it is different since we know - not believe, but know - that the central conclusion is true. Enough said.

It seems that we hear, on a regular basis, about a "Humanitarian Crisis" somewhere in the world where millions die of hunger and disease. We also hear about the promised donations and.... eventually hear that very little actual help reached those in need... since they have already died.

Are we witnessing another version of the "Hunger Plan"?

The Hunger Plan

During W.W.II, the Nazis implemented the "Hunger Plan" (1), as a way to eliminate both their military enemies and those deemed 'undesirable' in civilian populations. (2):

"The Hunger Plan caused the deaths of many, primarily Jews in the Soviet Union whom the Nazis had forced into ghettos, and Soviet prisoners of war, which were most easily controlled by the Germans and thus easily cut off from food supplies. Jews for example were barred from purchasing eggs, butter, milk, meat or fruit. The so-called "ration" for Jews in Minsk and other cities within the control of Army Group Center was no more than 420 calories per day. Tens of thousands of Jews died of hunger and hunger-related causes over the winter of 1941-1942...

...By mid 1941, the German minority in Poland received 2613 calories per day while Poles received 699 and Jews in the ghetto 184. The Jewish ration fulfilled 7.5 percent of their daily needs; Polish rations only 26 percent. Only the ration allocated to Germans fulfilled the full needs of their daily calorie intake...."

The point of this plan was ensure that the 'holy ones' (Germans) were fed, while 'the unholy ones' (everybody else) were intentionally starved. The Nazi collaborators in the various puppet states in Europe were well fed, just as the Germans.

Comment: "And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and thrice two pounds of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the wine and the oil." (Revelations 6:6)

Let he who has Ears, hear....

Bishop Tod D. Brown, Diocese of Orange, Celebrates Opening Mass for Knights of Columbus Convention. (1)

More than 80 archbishops and bishops - including 12 cardinals - and scores of clergy join more than 2,000 Knights of Columbus and their family members for the convention at the Hilton Hotel in Anaheim Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 7-9. 

The Knights of Columbus 130th International Convention is the largest gathering of Catholic bishops and cardinals in America outside of the annual U.S. Bishops Conference meetings. Members and bishops will come from throughout North America, the Caribbean, the Philippines and Poland. 

The convention open follows a very successful Guadalupe Celebration Sunday - in which tens of thousands of the faithful flocked to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe organized by the Knights of Columbus and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. 

The meeting is a mixture of business, recognition and fellowship, highlighted by the annual report of Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. Activities began Tuesday with a Mass celebrated by Bishop Tod D. Brown, Diocese of Orange, the host diocese for the event.

miguel de Portugal comments: Tod Brown is the motor behind the acquisition of the Crystal Cathedral (from Robert Schuller's bankrupt organization).

Tod D. Brown is also included in the Dallas Daily News list (2) of  US hierarchy involved in the sexual abuse scandal. We quote:

=========================

 

Orange, Calif.

BISHOP TOD BROWN

In late March, after a lengthy review of personnel files, he proclaimed his diocese a "safe haven" - a place free of priests with molestation records. The review, required under a $5.2 million settlement reached last year with the victim of a former priest in the diocese, had led to removal of at least two clerics who'd been working for years after admitting abuse. Then in April, local media reported that the Rev. Denis Lyons had been accused of sexual misconduct for the third time and suspended. Bishop Brown's predecessor had sent Father Lyons into treatment after both previous allegations arose, in 1993 and 1994. The bishop hadn't fired the priest during the review, officials said, because one allegation involved misconduct with two adults and the other, involving two boys, could not be substantiated. The priests removed because of the review included the Rev. Michael Pecharich, who admitted six years ago that he molested a teenage boy in the early 1980s; and the Rev. John Lenihan, who admitted more than a decade ago that he had sexually abused a teenage girl. The diocese paid one settlement then and another this year to a woman who said Father Lenihan abused her when she was a teen in the 1970s and paid for her abortion

 

=========================

But not to worry - Brown has said that he will make his new cathedral the second most significant Roman Catholic religious site after the Vatican....

Translation:Business as usual.

Interpretation:Do everything and deny everything.... just don't get caught.

As fighting in neighboring Syria rages on, Pope Benedict XVI has confirmed that he will proceed with his trip to Lebanon as planned.(1)

"The Christians in Lebanon are looking forward to the Holy Father's visit with great joy," Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Boutros Rai told Aid to the Church in Need Aug. 22. Escalating violence in Syria and increased tensions in Lebanon gave rise to speculation that the Pope would postpone or cancel his Sept. 14-16 trip.

"Of course the visit will go ahead," Cardinal Rai confirmed. Just last week an assassination plot against Cardinal Rai, who is the highest ranking dignitary in the Maronite Church, was prevented when one of the conspirators informed Lebanon's domestic secret service of the plan.

Large quantities of explosives were intended to detonate along the route of Cardinal Rai's visit to Sunni parliament member Khaled Daher's home in northern Lebanon. Michel Samaha, a former minister and current supporter of Hezbollah, was involved in the plot and has been arrested and admitted to the plan.

Contributor's comments: You have said in previous years that a future September 14th (Solemnity of The Triumph of the Cross)  would prove to be eschatologically significant ("a date of even greater eschatological importance in the future".) It seems that Benedict is - with this trip and its timing - trying to make this come true.

Airlines give many reasons for refusing to let you board, but none stir as much debate as this: How you're dressed. (1)

A woman flying from Las Vegas on Southwest this spring says she was confronted by an airline employee for showing too much cleavage. In another recent case, an American Airlines pilot lectured a passenger because her T-shirt bore a four-letter expletive. She was allowed to keep flying after draping a shawl over the shirt.

It's not always clear what's appropriate. Airlines don't publish dress codes. There are no rules that spell out the highest hemline or the lowest neckline allowed. That can leave passengers guessing how far to push fashion boundaries. Every once in a while the airline says: Not that far.

"It's like any service business. If you run a family restaurant and somebody is swearing, you kindly ask them to leave," says Kenneth Quinn, an aviation lawyer and former chief counsel at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

The American Airlines passenger, who declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press, works for an abortion provider. Supporters suggested that she was singled out because her T-shirt had a pro-choice slogan.

A spokesman for American says the passenger was asked to cover up "because of the F-word on the T-shirt." He says that the airline isn't taking sides in the abortion debate.

miguel de Portugal comments: Frankly, we welcome the idea.

"Freedom" has been stretched to the point where there are grevious infringement on the freedom of others. Right now - even in a small town - in a country where one keeps tripping over cathedrals, nuns, etc. - the younger women are dressing in a manner which reminds me of the TV news reports when there is a raid in a house of ill repute. Actually - if they were all mixed together and placed in a line up, it would practically impossible to determine who are the prostitutes and who are "the girls next door".

Peru to build new airport near Machu Picchu. (1)



miguel de Portugal comments: Peru, a country which has a Gross National Product which only is 0.56 % of that of the US, will spend at least 0.63 % of their own Gross National Product to build an airport near the mythical (and allegedly mystical) citadel of Machu Picchu for tourist purposes?

Anyone who believes that to be the real reason, even if the inflated figure of 3,000 tourists a day traffic was true, needs to pray much because their awareness of the times we are living through is not where it should be by now.

My God!, we would not even spend that kind of money in the US for such a trickle of tourists.

Let us not forget that Mr. Bush used subliminal TV messages in his first campaign, got caught and exposed.... and kept on using them. They are politicians who are for sale to the highest bidder.

The point that we want to make is to confirm the existence, and the day to day usage, of a secretive data-mining project that sifts through Americans' personal information - including their purchasing history and church attendance - and that is used to influence the way we shop and think.

News Report No. 1
[our highlights]

A new book about Opus Dei has been published (1), and it seems that the author may have read our pages on Opus Dei, although it is claimed that it "was written many years ago", yet we find nothing to substantiate such claim.

This novel predicts the vital flash-point that plunges Israel into war and embroils the West in mayhem.   Written many years before the present build-up of tensions in the Middle East, before the world economy showed signs of collapse, and well prior to the threatened food shortages; it encapsulates all those elements and more.

Opus Dei is a book that challenges the status quo.  Who and what is behind the build-up of  world events?  Are Israel, USA and NATO to blame for the current tensions in the Middle East, or is another power at work?

What makes Jerusalem the focal-point of the coming conflict and what role is played by Egypt and Babylon? Expect Opus Dei to uncap the mysteries.  The sacred Egyptian texts hint at a hidden chamber or chambers beneath the Giza Pyramid and the Sphinx.  If the Great Pyramid is a masterpiece in understated engineering perfection, what can we expect from the secret places beneath its foundation?  What part do these mysteries play in a soon-to-be-formed World Government?

Is the coming world leader a benign dictator or a religious leader, a king, priest, or emperor?  Is he the Christ, or Osiris reborn?  Does his assumption of power herald a time of peace – or mayhem such as our planet has never before experienced?

Dan Brown, in his popular novel, The Da Vinci Code, familiarised his readership with the Catholic movement, Opus Dei and the secretive Priory de Sion .  Opus Dei explores Dan Brown’s theme and reveals the real purpose behind these, and other, arcane organisations. Read of the conspiracy behind the War on Terror....

miguel de Portugal comments: One thing is for sure: From the description, the story seems to be much closer to reality than Dan Brown's bok was.

Another "Tweet" from God?

RYAN (or RYaN) is an acronym for Raketno-Yadernoe Napadenie (Russian: Ракетно-ядерное нападение, "Nuclear Missile Attack").
Purpose

The purpose of the operation was to collect intelligence on potential contingency plans of the Reagan administration to launch a nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union." It was initiated in May 1981 by Yuri Andropov, then chairman of KGB.

RYAN took on a new significance after the announcement of plans to deploy Pershing II nuclear-capable missiles to West Germany. These missiles were designed to be launched from road-mobile vehicles, making the launch sites very hard to find. The flight time from West Germany to European Russia was only four to six minutes (approximate flying time from six to eight minutes from West Germany to Moscow), giving the Soviets little or no warning.

On 23 March 1983 Ronald Reagan publicly announced development of the SDI program. Soviet leadership felt that the use of SDI technology was to render America invulnerable to Soviet attack, thereby allowing the US to launch missiles against the USSR with no fear of retaliation. This concern about a surprise attack prompted sudden expansion of the RYAN program. The level of concern reached its peak after the Soviets shot down KAL 007 near Moneron Island on 1 September 1983, and during the NATO Exercise Able Archer 83. The Soviet Union believed that a United States first strike on the Soviet Union was imminent.

Operation RYAN was downscaled in 1984, after the deaths of its main proponents, Yuri Andropov and defense minister Dmitriy Ustinov. (1)

Contributor's comments: As I understand it, there was substantial Opus Dei influence during the Reagan administration, and there would be at least as much under Romney/Ryan.
 
Will Vice President (or President) Ryan preside over a real-life nuclear missile attack?
 

miguel de Portugal comments: As we have said before - we do not foretell the future. That is Fortune Telling and you all should know what God thinks about that. (2) We only - prompted and instructed by God - move "pieces on the board" via revealed information. When this started, around 1991, I was totally unaware of it. Eventually the "action-reaction" record was overwhelming. It was then that I realized how God was using me in this particular area.

This modality of operation applies, more than ever, to the the time up to the Republican and Democratic Conventions and the Election itself (assuming that we get that far). What we must say, however, is that, like in any kind of sport, as we approach The End, the excitement, the drama, and the interest increase significantly. You have been Blessed to occupy a front row seat through our pages. May God Be Praised and Glorified!

[highlights by contributor]

Introductory Note by miguel de Portugal: As recently as January (1) and February (2) 2012, we have spoken about the Holy Pope and Holy King expectation by the Catholic tradition; an expectation fueled by a number of alleged visions and messages throughout the centuries.

Being that "the schedule is being met" we should not be surprised that a mainstream and respected Catholic publication - The National Catholic Register : America's most complete Catholic News source : A Service of EWTN (exactly as their mast reads) - is beginning to talk about this matter extensively. Following are a few choice quotes from the article in question (3), but we encourage our reader to read the entire article - Catholic Prophecy, Europe, And The Return Of The King :
 

"Is this the time..."

What time? The time when Europe leads the world into the conflagration. A time of crisis the likes of which has never been seen before. Boy, after all we have seen before, that should make one shudder.

"...they were talking about?"

What they? Catholic prophets. Yes, we do have those believe it or not. We just don't like to talk about it lest someone think that we are like those wild-eyed folks, bless their hearts, with the "in case of rapture this car will be unmanned" bumper stickers.

No, we are not like them but we do have prophets (Yes, even the future telling kind.) And while there is no shortage of "catholic" quacks and charlatans out there, there are dozens and dozens of quotes from Approved Catholic sources, saints, sages, Fathers and Doctors of the Church who have gone out of their way to let us know what may befall mankind before the end of the world.

What many prophecies agree upon is that the great Chastisement begins with civil unrest and anarchy in Europe (likely economic) that grows into all out civil war and general war. The focus of such prophecy is Europe, but the unrest is likely not limited to there. At some point, the Church and the faithful become a particular target of the hate-filled upon whom some of the worst ravages are unleashed.

Amidst the chaos and war, the Pope reluctantly flees Rome and goes into hiding. He is eventually found and killed by his enemies who boast of destroying the Church. Surprisingly, amidst the chaos, a new and great Pope is miraculously chosen. This Pope crowns a king (yes, a king) for France to help end the chaos there.

This king goes on to defeat the enemies of the Church across world and becomes the Great Monarch, Emperor to a restored Holy Roman Empire and de facto leader of the world. In this capacity, he restores order, peace, and justice to the world and the Church and the Gospel is spread throughout the world. After some unknown amount of time of peace and prosperity, the world returns to its old ways and prepares the way for the rise of Antichrist.

As a Europe with a very fratricidal history is on the brink of economic disaster, a Catholic conversant with these prophecies should keep his eyes open. For sure, Europe has been there time and again and the rest hasn't happened. But if those saints, sages, Fathers and Doctors are right, it will.

miguel de Portugal comments: We assure you - Those who believe such un-Biblical fantasies will never know what hit them. We have done our part to Warn the World (4) - them included, of course - thus my conscience, and that of those who have assisted us in this prophetic journey, are clear. I am ready for the manifestation of what we have announced - including the fact that, speaking in percentages, the Roman Catholics who are blindly obedient to Rome, will constitute the greatest percentage of  those who will be tricked by the False Christ, thus, lost.

Intrusion embarrasses 'Fort Knox of uranium'. (1)



miguel de Portugal comments: If you are a regular reader you know what would be our first comment, so we will not repeat it.

The second, echoes similar ones of the past: That is how stupid those in charge of our security really are! Who cares if we can land a craft in Mars if we cannot even protect our own backyard? They could land it in a nearby Galaxy for all we should care! We need real homeland security and not an agency with its name.

Once again, drawing from my experience in the Petrochemical world - back then intruders in our complexes would not have gotten to first base, as the saying goes, without being caught.... and we did not have any of the, Oh, so sophisticated!, security devices we now have.

Allow us to "draw you a picture" of security issues in a petrochemical complex. In one complex I was associated with very closely we had several tanks of liquefied hydrogen cyanide (yes, the gas used in the death penalty Gas Chambers). We may have had somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 pounds of it. This small tank farm was easily accessible to anyone already inside the Petrochemical complex. It was not an out of the way location; as a matter of fact, I walked past it every single day.

I lived no more than one mile from said petrochemical complex with my family and slept like a baby. Why? Because I knew that we really had a practically impenetrable security system plus reliable back ups. Of course, in those days we did not have the smart phone toting "scientists" and "engineers" that fill  the ranks of our industry today and who could not find their way to the coffee pot or the rest room without a GPS!

As we said at the end of our document A Biblical Perspective on Homosexuality (2), homosexuality is not the real problem. The real problem is its promotion, the "hard sell", so to speak, at all levels and using all imaginable methods.

We just viewed a History Channel video about books and documents left out of the Bible in which they spoke about a Hidden Gospel of Mark wherein a certain young man, having a linen cloth covering his naked body, visited with Jesus for one whole night. Without coming out and saying it, they implied some sort of "contact" between Jesus and this young man. This mysterious individual is also mentioned in the Gospel of Mark which appears in all New Testaments, "giving credibility" to the story found in the alleged Hidden Gospel of Mark.


No. I will not say nor try to imagine: "What next?" During the End of These Times anything is possible.

How to find out if a social media account is from the U.S. government.

Every day, the government uses social media services like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to communicate with you and provide easy access to government benefits and services.

But unlike most government websites, which are hosted on a .mil or a .gov domain, social media sites are hosted on commercial domains. Without the .gov or the .mil, it can be difficult to determine which social media accounts are official government sources of information and which are impersonators.

To help solve that problem, the U.S. government recently launched a social media registry in English and Spanish, where you can confirm the validity of a variety of government social media accounts. Learn more about the social media registry.

miguel de Portugal comments: In this age of fakery and falsification we thought it appropriate to pass on the above information that we received from U.S. Government


News Report No. 2
[contributor's highlights]

The Washington, DC headquarters of the Family Research Council (1) was the scene of a recent shooting incident. (2)

Contributor's comments: Many people may be unaware that - as with the Witherspoon Institute (3), and the National Organization for Marriage (4) - the Family Research Council is actually an Opus Dei front operation.

None of the entities describe themselves as having any overt link to OD. One must "read between the lines" of their agendas, and the identity of their board members. Agenda? All of these are ultra-conservative think tanks, engaged in similar agendas. Why have these multiple organizations - some seeming to be Protestant/Evangelical in orientation?


The 'x factor' linking these organizations together (and with OD) may be found in the example of a certain Robert P. George. He is known to be an OD member. He is on the board of the Witherspoon Institute (chaired by OD numerary Luis Tellez). Both George and Tellez were founding board members of the National Organization for Marriage (an OD operation). (5)

The list of groups which these two men are part of and their agendas is long. Even more complex is the web of high powered donors to these organizations. (6)(7)

These organizations all came from the same "nest": the Opus Dei center at Princeton University. Major donors to the affiliated programs have included Wall Street publisher Steve Forbes (8)

The response of the head of the Family Research Council to the shooting incident is interesting; he blames a third party.... If someone who knows me throws a rock at me, my first question should be: "Did I do something to offend my brother?".


miguel de Portugal comments: Imagine what these people would have accomplished if they had dedicated their time and resources to prayer and reparation - as Heaven has been clamoring for since early in the 19th century -  instead of amassing political and financial power using the Name of God as an excuse.

Just yesterday we read in a major Spanish daily (our translation): Barcelona (second major city in Spain) ....will fine with up to 3,000 Euros (~ 3,700 US Dollars) those who engage in sex with prostitutes in public such as arcades, alleys or just anywhere public. This behavior has been expressly forbidden since the year 2006 but the law has not been strictly enforced.

We find it totally incomprehensible that even within the last two centuries - let alone the 21st century - in a major European city, one could engage in sexual activity - up to an including intercourse -  with a prostitute in view of the general public.

Since the law refers to sex with a prostitute in a public place, are we to prseume that it is OK if there is no charge? Or that the partner is the male's wife?

Lord have Mercy! How far gone is Escrivaland!

Now, try to sell or publish a book, anywhere in Spain, critical of the Opus Dei and you will be shut down through economic coercion.

Ecuador grants political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. (1)

miguel de Portugal comments (and strongly suggest that our NSA "Guardian Angels" pay close attention): First of all, understand that we are nor an "Assange fan" and do not approve in any form or fashion of his behavior and/or activities. With that said, let us understand the trap that the "Masters of the World" are setting for us and the UK.

It is hard to find two countries which are more hated throughout the world than the US and the UK. Appearances are deceiving since the "friendliness" and "smiling" towards them has only one objective: See how much they can get out of the US and the UK.

A case in point. Our "great friend and ally", Turkey, charges US citizens ten times what they charge the European Union citizens for an entry visa. With friends like that, who needs enemies as the saying goes.

An attack by UK forces on the Ecuadorian Embassy in London may unleash a "get even mood" latent in all the enemies the UK has worldwide. It does not take a professional agitator to get the UK Embassies, on a worldwide scale, in flames in very short notice. The US Embassies may follow.

Now we all puff up our chests and say: Yeah, let them try it. We'll give them a good whipping!

May we remind one and all (and that certainly includes our NSA "Guardian Angels") that Iran stormed our Embassy in Teheran many years ago, captured our personnel and we did little more than "squat"?

May we remind one and all that the last war we won was World War II and since then it has been reverse after reverse, humiliation after humiliation?

Do not count on a nationwide reaction like the one that took place after we were hit in Pearl Harbor. As we reminded Former President Carter, (2) that was then, but it is vastly different today. We have become soft; very soft and distracted. Anyone takes away our Smart Phones and probably we will not be able to find our way home.

Also keep in mind that the country which has the most to lose in a nuclear attack is the US, and.... if your missed our News Commentary of August 4th (3), know that 'With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on May 11 of this year, Russia has not only resumed work in the electronic center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile strategic nuclear missiles "Oak" on the island.' This time is for real and not like the Cuban Crisis fraud (4).

Therefore, boys and girls amongst our NSA "Guardian Angels", make sure that your superiors think very carefully before they act. Their track record is lousy and we have more to lose than anyone else in the world. Capito?

Egypt military shows no sign of opposing president. (1)

Egypt's military has shown no sign of opposing the president's surprise decision to retire the defense minister and chief of staff and seize back the powers the military grabbed from his office. Nearly a full day after the order, no unusual military movements were reported anywhere across the nation.

President Mohammed Morsi's shake-up of the military took the nation by surprise. It has transformed his image overnight from a weak leader to a savvy politician who carefully timed his move against generals who stripped him of significant powers days before he took office on June 30.

miguel de Portugal comments: As we have said in the past when witnessing a "simply unbelievable and unexpected behavior" in the geopolitical arena: The Egyptian Military have just received a visit from a representative of the true Masters of the World who explained to them "The (New) Facts of Life".

Based on multiple past experiences, when a world leader or world power receives one of those visits and told to "Squat!" the answer is always the same: "Where, sir?"

The schedule is being met.

Jet Skier Breaks Through JFK Airport's $100 Million Security System. (1)

A man whose jet ski failed him in New York's Jamaica Bay swam to John F. Kennedy airport, where he was easily able to penetrate the airport $100 million, state-of-the art security system.

Daniel Casillo, 31, was able to swim up to and enter the airport grounds on Friday night, past an intricate system of motion sensors and closed-circuit cameras designed to to safeguard against terrorists, authorities said.

"I think he should be given dinner and a bottle of champagne for showing us our faults," said Nicholas Casale, an NYPD veteran and former MTA deputy security director for counterterrorism.

When he was eventually spotted by a Delta employee, police charged Casillo with criminal trespassing.

"It's outrageous," Casale said. "Why in 2012 do we not have a security system throughout our airports?"  This is not the first time an airport's security systems failed.

miguel de Portugal comments: When will pathetic humans realize that it IS God Who IS in charge and that the world has not gone Kaboom! yet because we have not reached that part of the Divine schedule (2) and that there is no one on Earth, including the above mentioned "Masters of the World", who can stop it?

It seems that capacity for human stupidity needs to be reevaluated and augmented every day.

"What If" News Report
[our highlights]

Most people do not like to think about "What If" scenarios which may result in great harm; possible or unexpected, and potentially deadly, scenarios.

In industry - at least where and when m de P practiced  Chemical and Environmental Engineering - the most important part of any project were the "Potential Problem Analysis" sessions. Professionals of different backgrounds would sit around a table "dreaming up" the most unimaginable equipment and human failures, so that they could design for their "prevention" as well as for "post catastrophe" safety procedures.

As the result of such on-going practice, when something unexpected happened, they could, "on the run", adjust and apply procedures that they may have developed for other incidents, to contain the unexpected damage.

  A cooperator found the following information which may come in handy to some in the future. With the "Potential Problem Analysis" concept in mind, we want to share such information with our readership now:

Obviously, this is all hypothetical, based upon a single device of the specified size. Based on this premise, the projected effects, human and property loss are interesting. It becomes clear that the losses would be great. That many if not most 'survivors' would not survive, due to lack of medical care - and the likelihood that outside rescue would be greatly hampered by the loss of certain bridges and tunnels which link NYC to the mainland of the US.

The only Borough of New York City (NYC) which is actually on the mainland is the Bronx. Assuming you could walk there, you could escape from the city to the north. The 7.5 million residents of Long Island - while largely outside (due East) of the blast damage radius given - are cut off from the rest of the US, as access to it is only via the bridges and tunnels through NYC. Even if their homes are undamaged, their food and other supplies are trucked in through New York City. The 2 or 3 ferry services which link the eastern portion of Long Island to Connecticut carry very little vehicular traffic. They would be trapped, with the very real possibility of major portions of their water supply being contaminated.

Anyone familiar with the general NYC area would know that a general evacuation is a virtual impossibility - even given advance warning.

The scenarios given in the same web site for Detroit and San Francisco are also of interest.

What’s so bad about a boy who wants to wear a dress? (1)



miguel de Portugal comments: First of all, when we hear the "not-to-worry" evaluations of  their pediatrician, a psychologist and parents of other gender-nonconforming children, what comes to mind is the often quoted "wisdom" of Dr. Spock, et al,  of the 60's and 70's and its later consequences.

From this child's behavioral symptoms, his condition does not appear to be hormonal nor another case of hermaphroditism. The answer may be found when one fully understands how the "Filters", that we mentioned in one of our documents, work.

Were that poor boy to reach adulthood in the world as it is, his future would hold a miserable life.

Musing about the recent Syrian and Iranian news

As we have pointed out in the past, coherence is the by-word of the Created Universe, in the physical and supernatural realm. Every "Action" has a "Reaction"; with the "Reaction" manifesting itself as either: an "Invoice" presented by Heaven and delivered by satan or a "Bonus" given by Heaven and delivered by God's Holy Angels.

Divine Laws function just like physical laws and the only way the Action-Reaction of either can be altered is by the intervention of Divine Mercy.

Recently we all have heard the Syrian President rattling his "biological and chemical weapons" saber. We also know that every day that goes by his back gets more pinned to the wall. He also knows than in today's world, a Head of State considered a pariah by the International Community (whatever that is) ends either in jail or in the grave.... and he does not have to look far for examples such as Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.

The International Community (whatever that is) has allowed Bashar al-Assad to slaughter his people at will for the last twelve months or so, and the most that they have done is use hand cream as they keep wringing their hands.... and nothing else. They claim that China and Russia have their hands tied and then, wring their hands some more, and continue to do nothing.

Now, let's rewind to the end of 2002 and first half of 2003. Because said International Community (whatever that is) was determined to control Iraq, its oil wealth and its out-of-control President, they invented the transparent lie about the biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction which, again, allegedly, Saddam Hussein had in every closet of every palace he owned and which were ready to use at the drop of the proverbial hat.

Once the citizens of the International Community (whatever that is) where whipped up to a frenzy (and let the Chinese and Russian opposition be damned) Iraq was turned into a bloody parking lot and, of course, the chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction turned out to be the salt and pepper shakers in Saddam's palace's kitchens.

Banking on past experiences regarding "...coherence is the by-word of the Created Universe - in the physical and supernatural realm" and that "Every 'Action' has a 'Reaction'; with the 'Reaction', in this case, manifesting itself as an 'Invoice' presented by Heaven and delivered by satan.....", the International Community (whatever that is) may be about to suffer the effects of the biological and chemical weapons that Hussein did not have but al-Assad does. Since Hussein was also accused of hoarding nuclear weapons so that the illegitimate invasion of Iraq be even more justified, the Syria-Iran alliance may just provide that other ingredient - the nuclear one -  so that the "Invoice" to be presented is complete.

Just musings.... no prophecies but we suggest that our NSA Guardian Angels pass such musings to the leadership of  the International Community (whatever that is) so that they do not get caught with the proverbial pants down.... again!

From (Mr.) X @ US

[We received the following letter from Mr. X nine days before the above news broke out.]

(Note: much of the following is based on observation, and the recollections of friends and former associates, all quite familiar with the situations described. Thus it cannot be footnoted with source citations. Writing about such things makes me want to send back my Eagle Scout badge to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), in utter disgust!)

In reflecting on the Jerry Sandusky/Joe Paterno/Penn State University scandals about child sex abuse, one is reminded of the same in the Church. Or in the Boy Scouts of America.

In both the Church & the BSA the current assertions are that all of their employees and volunteers have had thorough background checks run on them. Ergo "there is no problem'. Oh really?

One has a perfectly clean driving record. One has never been arrested. Does that mean he is sinless? Does it mean that he has never driven in an unsafe manner? Or never been speeding?

No. All a "clean" background check shows is that the person has never been caught for any misdeeds. Yet both the BSA and the Church claim that "all is well'. The BSA has an Orwellian "Youth Protection" program. It is actually designed to reassure parents; but does NOTHING to actually protect the kids. Ditto (or worse) for that of the US Catholic Church.

I am personally aware of a long term professional employee of the BSA who was a notorious pedophile. Yet he was allowed to work at a local scout summer camp for about 40 years, in key positions. Everybody knew about him, including all the boys on the camp staffs. The local council had him running the Webelos Camp (for 10 year old Cub Scouts), and he was in charge of the CITs (Counselors in Training - 14 to 15 year old boys). He had been a camp director, and then was the long time head of Personnel for the camp. Which means that he was in charge of hiring.... Those in charge of hiring tend to hire those they like, or who are like-minded.

His primary year-round job was in the Finance department of the local scout council; hence he was very 'important'. He had been hired right after W.W. II, due to his military service.

The 'rumors' about him were not rumors: I personally witnessed this man 'French kissing' a 15 year old boy, in front of about 20 other staff members. I am also aware of former staff members who were abused by him, who gave me very detailed accounts. Yet nobody did anything about this man; and all knew that to complain was futile. Why?

Working alongside this man, in the camp administration was a priest, very powerful in Scouting, whose links to Opus Dei later became obvious.

The only real answer is: Masonry (Ecclesiastical and regular). The BSA has always been very heavily masonic in orientation & adult membership. This is from very real experience, not mere rumor.

Like the Church, the BSA protects those whom it values. A few abusers are 'thrown to the wolves' (1) now and then, but the worst offenders are untouchable.
This man was not the only long term abuser; there were others. Including one with very close links to Wall Street, the Knights of Columbus, and thus OD. He was allowed to abuse for many years; finally moving to another state to continue his antics. He was awarded the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (given for exemplary service to Scouting, as a former Eagle Scout). And given formal recognition of his 'service to youth' by the US Congress. He is now on the city council of the town in which he resides.

Their names and pictures are at hand. So are many living eyewitnesses and victims. But these souls, if unrepentant, will have a final accounting of their 'invoice' before God. Ditto for those who enabled them.

Neither of these men were one-time abusers; they were serial abusers. Wearing a mask of respectability. Confident that nobody would dare to try to complain. So secure were their position and 'name' that they were rather brazen in their misdeeds.

As with the Cardinals of the Church, if these men had been exposed and brought to justice, the reputation of the BSA would be destroyed. So they "had" to be protected.

Just like the Church, the BSA is imploding on itself. In the 1960s its total membership was c. 6.2 million. Now it is c. 2.3 million. (2) Public knowledge of their respective hypocrisy has driven many to quit (and many to refuse to join) both entities. (3)

The summer camp where the abuse occurred - like so many churches - is virtually empty. Just like many 'loyal Catholics', the cadre of eager volunteers thinks that 'all is well', as what is left of the famous camp rots around them.

Just as with the priesthood, the BSA claims to be 'excluding gays'. But they are keeping their pedophiles, as long as they maintain the pretense of 'holiness' in outward appearance. Or in the case of the laity/volunteers.... if they are heavy contributors.


Epilogue: the Scout Oath contains the phrase "Morally Straight". In 1910, when the BSA was founded, "straight' had NO sexual connotation, and would not until the 1970s. But it did in the homosexual underground of the 1910s; referring to heterosexuals as 'straight'.

Yet, as originally written, "morally straight" is intended to mean: morally coherent. And obviously the deeds of the BSA in re sex abuse have NOT been "morally straight".

This leads us to a quandary: were the men who formulated the program of the BSA in 1910... 'closet' pedophiles with fascist leanings? The answer to that is a qualified 'yes', but more about that later....(4)

Yet none of the founders/authors of the original BSA program was religious... instead they were interested in "boyology".

NOTES________________

(1) As with the Church, the abusers in the BSA who have been caught are typically 'nobody'. And those whose cases were impossible to hide. But none of the high level abusers have ever been caught.

(2) In recent years, there have been numerous membership scandals in the BSA, where the rolls have been intentionally inflated by as much as 1/3. This is old news, going back at least to the early 1960s or even the 50s. Membership started to 'nose-dive' post W.W. II. So the numbers were inflated both by the introduction of 'non-traditional Scouting;, and outright lies. The BSA learned that getting annual grants from the United Way and other sources was tied to the number of boys in the program. Just like watching EWTN, if you read their propaganda, one would think the BSA is growing.

(3) Many boys and their parents now want nothing to do with Scouting, as its reputation is now so soiled. And many, many adults leaders and scouts have quit in disgust.

(4) The details of this will shock many, yet are is in plain sight. It should also be noted that 12th point of the Scout Law - Reverent - was NOT part of the original written by Lord Baden-Powell in 1907. It was added by the BSA in 1911, with the intent to lure Mormon and Catholic leaders to sponsor Boy Scout troops. Which they did, starting in 1912.

The moment two or three Bishops are jailed for cover up charges, this deadly charade will come to an end. Since that will not happen, God will take the solution of this and all other moral problems in His Holy Hands.... and frankly, we just cannot wait!

Iran has launched a TV Station and news service (1) that broadcasts in Spanish.

Would you believe that the Markets went "through the roof" Friday because the positive U.S. Jobs Data? (1)

Would you also believe that such data is intrinsically worthless? (2)

miguel de Portugal comments: If the World political and financial scenario cannot be described as pathetic, it is because there is not a worse adjective to describe such state with.

But I must be charitable. The truth is that whatever they do will not work out. "The Schedule" will be met regardless of whatever corrective action man takes.

Half of US counties now considered disaster areas. (1)


miguel de Portugal comments: Disasters of Apocalyptic scope continue to hit all areas of the globe (2) yet people who have not been hit yet (and who should be praying from their temporary comfort for those already suffering from it) want to ignore that we are living through the End of These Times.

We presume that they (are you one of them?) are waiting for Fox News or CNN to officially announce that we are indeed living though the End of These Times. Maybe if Michael the Archangel was the featured guest at the Oprah Winfrey Show some would take notice of it.

When all of the globe is struck at once, there will be hardly time to even say "Amen!" Why wait until then?

Peruvian university worries Opus Dei behind dispute with Church. (1)



miguel de Portugal comments: Would you believe that we fully agree with the Vatican on this?

Unless the University official position is coherent with the fundamentals teachings of the Catholic Faith it should not be called "Catholic" and, if, on top of that, it defies the curia it should not be called "Pontifical" either.

Of course, based on the same reasoning, the Roman Catholic Church Administration should not call itself Christian either.

Maybe we should strike out the word "coherence" from the world's languages; after all, most do not understand, nor practice, its fundamental meaning.

Under pressure to 'Save the euro' the European Central Bank is gearing up to buy Italian and Spanish government bonds on the open market - but not yet. (1)


miguel de Portugal comments: ...and the show goes on.

The Markets went wild last week based on Mr. Draghi's implied imminent solution. "They" got to unload stock at ever increasing prices. When "they" had had their fill, Mr. Draghi spoke of only "gearing up" but "not yet" and the markets dropped like a rock.

The fools who ran up the Market on Mr. Draghi's word ended up holding the proverbial bag, and "the boys" made off like bandits.

What is really noteworthy, but not surprising since we have seen the results of similar "crystal ball gazing" before, is that the Asian Markets started "responding" to Mr. Draghi's "no immediate solution" speech, many, many hours before he spoke. Such vision! Such vision!

Would you believe that now...

IMF's Lagarde endorses and praises Spain economic reforms?


....and it was not a couple of days ago that the IMF (but not necessarily Ms. Lagarde) issued the most somber and depressing "Financial State of Spain" .

Who knows? She may be one of our "closet" readers.... but certainly not in touch with the reality in Spain.

[And these people get paid for this?]

Official of TEPCO subcontractor: Dosimeter ruse was one-time act. (1)      


miguel de Portugal comments: Speaking as an experienced Chemical and Environmental Engineer I can assert that "subcontractors" are many times the source of very serious problems. The selection and training of the subcontracted personnel are two levels removed from the standards of the company who hired the contractor in the first place, resulting in problems ranging from ill safety training to outright industrial espionage and sabotage.

Moral of the story: As we have said many times - God is our only security - period!

Government panel blasts lack of  'safety culture' in nuclear accident. (1)
  

miguel de Portugal comments: Tragically safety measures are the first to go when organizations are trying to lower project costs.

Blessedly, in the multinational petrochemical company I was associated with for many years, the plant's motto was "Safety First" and, believe me, it was not just a motto, it was a way of industrial life. It was, to such an extent, that it spilled over into our home lives. That was one very welcomed brainwashing program!

Catholic schools use marketing miracles to survive. (1)



miguel de Portugal comments: Revolting!

What next? Live Sex Education during Sunday School to increase sagging Mass attendance?

How about a live "show and tell", free of charge, camping trip with the local parish priest showing the boys where touching is acceptable and where it is considered sexual abuse?

It seems that "the Church" manages to bring to mind, on a daily basis, the following words from John's Apocalypse...


Let me tell them how the "marketing of God" is to be done.

When I taught confirmation classes many, many years ago, the kids would voluntarily skip the recess so that we could continue talking about God and His "Everything!" They would run out to the soft drink machine, get a soda pop and come right back so that we may continue our two-way discussion of the Marvels and Wonders of God.

In Portugal and Spain - 20 years ago: Young boys/men and young girls/women would see me visiting the local Discotheques, enjoying myself with a dance or two, having one drink, behaving as properly as I would behave at any place (remember: God is EVERYWHERE), providing a shoulder for them to cry on (because they could not find that solace in their parishes) and going back to my quarters at a very reasonable time.... then seeing me hours on end before the Blessed Sacrament and not missing a week day or Sunday Mass.... then.... soon, they started going on to Mass every Sunday and the Discotheques became such nice places of fun for the young (and not so young) crowd that when I left the area the parents were very disappointed.

I still run into some of those "kids", who are now almost 40, and it is always a joy!

All we need to do is GIVE the EXAMPLE - by word and deed..... but Babylon still has not gotten it... and never will!.... and every day that goes by it is one day closer to its fiery end.
