    A LAST MINUTE TACTIC FAILS & THE USA GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN -- WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ??? H_51018719

    The federal government is closed.

    After months, weeks and then a frantic day of brinksmanship on Capitol Hill,
    Congress failed to pass a bill to fund the government Monday night,
    shutting it down for the first time in 17 years.

    At the heart of the debate was Obamacare,
    a law that survived Republicans taking control of the House,
    a presidential election and a Supreme Court challenge.
    Attaching it to a deal to fund the government was the Republican Party’s
    last chance to block its rollout–which begins Tuesday.

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected all attempts
    to touch the law and President Barack Obama threatened a veto.

    The law will still roll out on schedule, despite the shutdown,
    and millions of Americans without health insurance
    will be able to begin signing up for coverage online.

    The question for the rest of the government is: what’s next?

    Late Monday night, the Office of Management and Budget ordered heads
    of executive departments and agencies to “execute plans for an orderly shutdown.”

    President Obama also signed a law passed by both chambers of Congress
    to ensure that military service members get paid during the shutdown.

    But the earliest that a shutdown could be resolved is Tuesday morning.
    In a last-ditch attempt to save face on Monday night,
    Boehner tried to force negotiations into a formal committee process.
    But Reid balked at the idea.
    “Republicans are still playing games,”
    he said on the Senate floor shortly before midnight.
    “This is all a subterfuge to satisfy the Tea Party-driven Republicans.”

    “We will not go to conference with a gun to our head,” he said.

    Reid said he would be willing to send senators to conference to work
    on a solution for funding the government through the rest of the fiscal year
    —but only after the immediate threat of a shutdown was removed
    and the House passed a short-term funding bill with no strings attached.

    Boehner’s move was also an abrupt about-face by Republicans
    who have spent months refusing Democratic offers to hold a conference
    and work out a budget before October 1.

    As midnight approached, they may have begun to fear the political damage
    that the shutdown could do to the GOP.

    A poll on Monday showed that 51% said Republicans deserved “a lot”
    of blame for a shutdown, compared to 41% who blamed Obama himself
    and 36% who cited Democrats.

    The president played that note as well. Moments after midnight, he tweeted:

    “The right thing to do was to go to conference any time in that last six months,
    as we asked 18 times but were told no by the same people
    who are now sitting on the other side of the aisle saying
    we want to shut the government down,” Patty Murray said on the floor.

    In the House, Boehner wrestled with a conference pressuring him
    from the right and the left.

    House moderates were pressuring their conference to pass
    the Senate’s “clean” stopgap budget, but Boehner ultimately heeded
    the calls by the conservative flank to rule out such a measure.
    By trying to go to conference, Boehner avoided the increasingly difficult process
    of finding new proposals that could hold together his Tea Party and centrist flanks.
    Twelve Republicans voted against his most recent measure to delay
    the individual mandate for a year and cut health subsidies for federal employees,
    some of them from the right for not attacking Obamacare hard enough
    and others from the left for extending the shutdown fight.

    graphic -- shutdown -- what is affected?

    Other Republicans tried for a last-ditch solution to stop a shutdown,
    including Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul who both floated the idea
    of a one- or two-week delay.

    Sen. John McCain predicted Republicans would ultimately need to fold
    –and should just do it.

    House Republican aides suggested there may be more action in the wee hours
    of the morning, but with no effective way to avoid a shutdown
    before the start of business Tuesday, Reid sent the Senate home to return the next morning.

    House Republicans themselves seem unsure as to what comes next,
    still trying to make sense of their own party’s latest move.
    Republican leaders didn’t even raised the possibility of going to conference
    until late Monday night, said Rep. Randy Hultgren of Illinois.
    “I’m still processing through it,” he said. “Very little was discussed.”

    After midnight, the House passed a resolution largely only party lines,
    228-199, requesting to go to conference with the Senate.

    Outside the Senate floor, House Appropriations Chair Hal Rogers
    was explaining the basics of Boehner’s conference plan
    to a colleague, Rep. Bill Young of Florida.

    “And that’s it?” said Young. “No after-conference plan, huh?”

    “Nope,” replied Rogers. “Not to my knowledge. But I’m not the boss.”

    Story Highlights

    Shutting down government wouldn't stop spending on Affordable Care Act
    Military paychecks may be delayed if there's a long shutdown
    It's been 17 years since the last government shutdown

    SHARE 20579 CONNECT 2229 TWEET 203 COMMENTEMAILMORE

    WASHINGTON — It's been 17 years since the federal government last faced a partial shutdown because Congress and the president couldn't agree on a spending bill. A lot has changed in that time, leaving federal employees, citizens and even government decision-makers confused about what a shutdown would mean.

    Every shutdown is different. The politics that cause them are different. Because of technology and structural overhauls, the way the government functions has changed since 1996. Much of what will happen is unknown.

    Here's what we do know about Tuesday's looming shutdown:

    THE BASICS

    1. What causes a shutdown? Under the Constitution, Congress must pass laws to spend money.
    If Congress can't agree on a spending bill — or if, in the case of the Clinton-era shutdowns, the president vetoes it — the government does not have the legal authority to spend money.

    2. What's a continuing resolution? Congress used to spend money by passing a budget first,
    then 12 separate appropriations bills. That process has broken down, and Congress uses a stopgap continuing resolution, or CR, that maintains spending at current levels for all or part of the year.

    3. Why can't Congress agree? The Republican-controlled House has passed a spending bill that maintains spending levels but does not provide funding to implement the Affordable Care Act,
    or Obamacare. The Democratic Senate insists that the program be fully funded and that
    Congress pass what they call a "clean" CR.

    4. What is a "clean" CR?A continuing resolution without policy changes.

    5. Why is this happening now? The government runs on a fiscal year from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. Shutdowns can happen at other times of the year when Congress passes a partial-year spending bill.

    6. Could government agencies ignore the shutdown? Under a federal law known as the Anti-Deficiency Act, it can be a felony to spend taxpayer money without an appropriation from Congress.

    7. When would a shutdown begin? When the fiscal year ends at midnight Monday. Most federal workers would report to work Tuesday, but unless they're deemed "essential," they would work no more than four hours on shutdown-related activities before being furloughed.

    8. When would the shutdown end? Immediately after the president signs a spending bill. As a practical matter, it could be noon the following day before most government offices that were shut down would reopen their doors.

    9. How many times has the government shut down in the past? Since 1977,
    there have been 17 shutdowns, according to the Congressional Research Service.

    10. How long do shutdowns usually last? Most last no more than three days.
    Some last less than a day.

    11. When was the longest shutdown in history? The longest was also the most recent:
    from Dec. 16, 1995, through Jan. 5, 1996. That's 21 days.

    12. Would this shutdown be different from those in the 1990s? Yes. When the 1995 shutdown started, Congress had already passed three of 13 appropriations bills. (They funded military construction, agriculture, and energy and water projects.) Also, more government services are automated.

    THE DEBT LIMIT

    13. What's the difference between a shutdown and a debt crisis? In a shutdown, the government lacks the legal authority to spend money on non-essential services. In a debt crisis, the government is mandated to spend money — but doesn't have the legal authority to borrow the money to spend it.

    14. Are the two related? Only by timing, which is somewhat coincidental.

    15. When will the government run out of borrowing authority? Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew says it could come as soon as Oct. 17.

    16. Has the United States ever defaulted on its debt before? No.

    17. If the nation hits the debt limit, will government shut down? That's a big unknown question. The Treasury Department has said the most likely scenario is that it would delay payments, paying only those bills it can afford, using daily tax revenue.

    GOVERNMENT SERVICES

    18. Will I still get my mail? Yes. The U.S. Postal Service functions as an independent business unit.

    19. Can I get a passport? Maybe, but hurry. The Department of State says it has some funds outside the annual congressional appropriation. "Consular operations domestically and overseas will remain 100% operational as long as there are sufficient fees to support operations," the department says.

    20. Can I visit national parks? No. The National Park Service says day visitors will be told to leave immediately, and entrances will be closed.

    21. What about campers already in the parks? They will be given two days to leave.

    22. Will Washington museums be open? The Smithsonian, the National Zoo and the Holocaust Museum would all be closed. Private museums, such as the Newseum, the Spy Museum and Mount Vernon, would remain open. Rule of thumb: If it's usually free, it's probably closed.

    23. What about the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts? The Kennedy Center does receive an annual appropriation from Congress, but also runs on ticket revenue and endowment funds. The center expects to stay open through a shutdown.

    24. What about the National Archives?All archives and most presidential libraries will be closed, unless they're operated by a private foundation — as all pre-Herbert Hoover presidential museums are. The Federal Records Center Program, which supports other agencies, would continue to operate because it uses a revolving fund.

    25. Will the District of Columbia shut down? The district does not have complete autonomy and relies on an appropriation from Congress to operate. So during the shutdowns in the 1990s, trash went uncollected, and many city departments closed. In a departure from past shutdowns, Mayor Vincent Gray has informed the Office of Management and Budget that he has deemed all city employees "essential." The district's own attorney general has declared the mayor's plan illegal.

    26. Will the Patent and Trademark Office be open? Yes. The office can continue to operate off user fees and other funds for at least four weeks before having to shut down.

    27. Would food safety inspections continue? Mostly. The Food Safety and Inspection Service would continue all safety-related activities. The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration would continue inspections to the extent they're paid by user fees, "but inability to investigate alleged violations could hamper corrective action in the long term and could have an immediate impact on members of industry." The Food and Drug Administration would limit its activities but continue to monitor recalls and conduct investigations.

    28. Will the government still release economic data? Probably. The weekly unemployment claims number would still come out, and the September jobs report, due out Friday, probably will, too. The Department of Commerce reasons that some of its data is so economically sensitive that delaying it risks that it will be leaked.

    29. Would the government continue to enforce wage and hour laws? The laws will still be in effect, but the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division would suspend operations.

    30. Will disaster response be affected? No. However, all "non-disaster" grants — such as state and local preparedness programs — would be postponed, the Department of Homeland Security says.

    31. Will e-Verify be affected? Yes. The government system to allow companies to voluntarily check the legal work status of its employees would be shut down.

    STORY: Blame game for impending shutdown

    GOVERNMENT BENEFITS

    32. Would a shutdown put the brakes on implementing the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare?" No. The state-run exchanges for the uninsured would open as scheduled Tuesday. "The marketplaces will be open on Tuesday, no matter what, even if there is a government shutdown," President Obama said Friday.

    33. Why not? Like Social Security or Medicaid, Obamacare is a permanent entitlement that isn't subject to annual funding by Congress. "Many of the core parts of the health care law are funded through mandatory appropriations and wouldn't be affected," Gary Cohen, the Health and Human Services Department official overseeing the health care rollout, said last week.

    34. Would seniors continue to get Social Security benefits? Yes. Social Security is a mandatory spending program, and the people who send those checks would continue to work under a legal doctrine called "necessary implication."

    35. Can I apply for Social Security benefits, appeal a denial of benefits, change my address or sign up for direct deposit?Yes.

    36. Can I get a new or replacement Social Security card, benefit verification statement or earnings record correction?No.

    37. Would the government continue to pay unemployment benefits? Yes. The Employment and Training Administration "will continue to provide essential functions, as occurred during the shutdown of 1995," according to the Department of Labor contingency plan.

    38. Will I be able to get food stamps? Yes. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is funded through the Recovery Act and from funds that don't expire for another year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says.

    39. What about WIC?No money would be available to pay the administrative costs of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. But because it's administered by states, there may be state funds available.

    40. And the federal school lunch program? Schools are reimbursed for these costs on a monthly basis and are allowed to carry over funds from the previous fiscal year. The USDA expects most schools will be able to continue providing meals through October.

    41. What will happen to veterans receiving compensation for service- or combat-related wounds and injuries? The Department of Veterans Affairs said if the shutdown continues into late October, it will run out of money for compensation and pension checks to more than 3.6 million veterans who rely on the money to support themselves.

    42. Can I still get a federally backed loan? Maybe not. "Federal loans for rural communities, small business owners, families buying a home will be frozen," President Obama said Friday.

    43. Does that mean I can't get an FHA mortgage? No. The Federal Housing Administration says it "will endorse new loans under current multi-year appropriation authority in order to support the health and stability of the U.S. mortgage market."

    44. Does that mean I can't get a VA mortgage? No. The Department of Veterans Affairs says loans are funded via user fees and should continue. However, during the last shutdown, "loan Guaranty certificates of eligibility and certificates of reasonable value were delayed."

    45. Will deceased veterans still be able to get a burial benefit? Yes. Burial benefits, headstones and death notices will still be available.

    TAXES

    46. Would the IRS continue to collect taxes? Yes. All payments would be processed. More than 12 million people have requested an extension on their 2012 taxes, which expires Oct. 15.

    47. Will my refund be delayed? Possibly, especially if the taxpayer files a paper return.

    48. What about taxpayer assistance? Walk-in assistance centers and telephone hotlines would be closed.

    49. I'm being audited by the IRS. Would a shutdown affect me? Yes. The IRS will suspend all audit activities.

    EMPLOYMENT

    50. How many federal employees would be furloughed? The government has not given an official estimate.

    51. Does anyone have a guess? J. David Cox, president of the American Federation of Government employees, said he expects the number will be 800,000 to 1 million, out of 2.1 million federal employees. That's consistent with a USA TODAY analysis of 2011 shutdown contingency plans, which found that 59% of non-defense government employees would continue to work.

    52. Why do some federal employees continue to work during a shutdown? The law — or at least, the Justice Department's interpretation of it — contains exemptions for several classes of employees: The biggest exemption is for employees necessary to protect public health, safety or property. But property could include government data, ongoing research experiments or other intangibles. Political appointees are exempt because they cannot be placed on leave by law. Employees necessary for the president to carry out his constitutional responsibilities are exempt. Finally, employees whose salaries are paid from sources outside an annual spending bill can still get paid and report to work.

    53. Who decides which employees work and which go home? Each agency is responsible for coming up with its own contingency plan, based on guidance from the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management. Those plans are then sent to the White House for review.

    54. Would the president be paid during a shutdown? Yes. The president's $400,000 salary is mandatory spending. If furloughs begin to affect the government's ability to process payroll, his paycheck could be delayed.

    55. What about White House staff? Some high-ranking presidential appointees are exempt from the Annual and Sick Leave Act of 1951, which means they can essentially be made to work unpaid overtime. Also, any employee necessary for the president to carry out his constitutional duties would be exempt.

    56. And the president's personal aides? The White House has 90 staffers who work in the residence. During a shutdown, 15 of them would stay on the job.

    57. Would Congress continue to be paid during a shutdown? Yes. The 27th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1992, holds that "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall have intervened." Intended to prevent Congress from voting itself a raise, it also protects members from a pay cut.

    58. What about congressional staff? Like other federal employees, they would be deemed essential or non-essential. Essential staff would include those necessary to carry out constitutional responsibilities, such as the parliamentarians, or for protection of members, such as the sergeants-at-arms. Staff of the appropriations committees may also be needed to write the law that would end the shutdown.

    59. Would active-duty military be furloughed? No. All active-duty military are essential and should report as scheduled Tuesday, the Department of Defense said Friday.

    60. Will civilian defense workers be furloughed? About half of them, or about 400,000, will be sent home, according to the Defense Department's contingency plan.

    61. Would active-duty military be paid during a shutdown? If a shutdown lasts longer than a week, the Pentagon might not be able to process its payroll in time for the Oct. 15 paychecks, Defense Department Comptroller Robert Hale said Friday. The House passed a separate bill early Sunday that would appropriate money for active-duty and reserve paychecks regardless of the shutdown — and also pay for support services to make sure they get paid. That bill passed the House 422-0, but still must go to the Senate.

    62. Could federal employees simply volunteer their services? No. A 19th-century federal law forbids volunteers because the government doesn't want them filing claims for back pay after the shutdown is over, according to a legal analysis by Washington attorney Raymond Natter.

    63. Would federal employees get paid retroactively, even if they didn't work? Maybe. Congress granted retroactive pay to furloughed workers after the shutdowns of the mid-1990s, but that wouldn't necessarily happen again. "I believe this time is going to be much different. This is a much different Congress than the 1995 Congress," said Cox, federal employee union president. "I'm not sure that they'd even want to go back and pay the people who worked."

    THE LONG TERM

    64. How much money would a shutdown save taxpayers? Most likely, it wouldn't. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says shutdowns cost money in terms of contingency planning, lost user fees and back pay. A government estimate after the shutdown in 1995-96 estimated its cost at $1.4 billion.

    65. What effect would a shutdown have on the economy? Economists say even a short shutdown — of three or four days — would begin to shave decimal points off economic growth. A sustained shutdown of three or four weeks "would do significant economic damage," economist Mark Zandi told USA TODAY.

    66. What about the stock market? The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 3.7% during the 1995-96 government shutdown, according to S&P Capital IQ. Stocks quickly rebounded after the government got back to work, rising 10.5% the month after the shutdown ended.

    Excellent Susan and just about sums it up except the President is also the one holding up the global financial currency reset.

    They're idiots and so is the prez who was using the RV as leverage in all of this. He's the one holding the RV up. Everything else is done, signed and the banks even got the 800 numbers over the weekend. Suppose to CE on the 2nd. Not sure what's up now. Prez has been using the RV for leverage in Syria too..  what an ass.



    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/30/john-boehner-mocks-obama_n_4019867.html
    House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) mocked President Barack Obama in a floor speech Monday, hours before a potential government shutdown -- marking a rare move and a public sign of the two leaders' increasingly soured relationship.

    "I didn't come here to shut down the government," Boehner said, moments before the House voted on the GOP's latest continuing resolution, which includes a one-year delay of Obamacare's individual mandate. "The American people don't want a shutdown, and neither do I."

    The Ohio Republican defended his party against the charge that it is willing to shut down the government over the president's signature health care law, before referencing a recent phone call with Obama.

    "I talked to the president earlier tonight: 'I'm not gonna negotiate, I'm not gonna negotiate, I'm not gonna do this,'" Boehner said, mimicking Obama.

    Carol, it fits a lot of scenarios I've heard about for years. Project looking glass meets carlos Barrios giving mayan prediction of east coast tsunami and many other predictions by respected elders, meets Fema region III drills. Woo hoo and now the atlantic ridge has awoken and is putting out five pointers. Hmmm, let me see, Who would want or need to take out new york and DC with an earthquake weather war weapon? Cover up the derivatives debacle? The trillions that are "owed" which were really stolen, after all.

    This is a dramatic line of thinking. Would make a good novel, if it weren't so real. RIP Tom Clancey.

    And you can add the trillions to be stolen..  from the US banks as a result of the Global Currency Reset - if all goes according to their diabolical plan.

    It's like a science fiction novel. Who would want to produce such mayhem? Are they human? It's not like having more multiples of digits will make the wealthier even wealthier. It's just crap on a chip when it gets into the billions. Is it a game to them? Theater for the creatures who rub their scaly "fingers" together in glee while watching the US economy and such, go down? I don't get it.

    And so who controls the Economy? It is really all about "Community" is it not? What are we doing to assist our Communities in "Thriving"? There is one massive parlor of mafia looking to take the "Vein". Are we about to let them pierce us with their "needle"? I wonder how many of us they wish to hire into their "Mafia Circle". "We are not a sellout". I repeat "We are not a sellout". Actually, we are in "disguise" aren't we? If I could share with you what happened in my experience "this weekend" you would not believe me. I don't even believe it. A spontaneous thought came into my head and I put into practice a "desire" of more than 20 years-and here we are "googling" the Government Shutdown. Where are we? We are here and living our life according to our "frequency". I don't see anarchy on the streets and is there word of Obama not being paid, since he is a Fed Employee? No! Airforce one will be live active duty paying his way as Fed Employee, so is there really a shutdown - or is this all a false flag farce? I say, there will be more false flag farces as time moves on. Hey, my world is "blooming". I create my outcomes and the birds still chirp, the frogs still mate and I still sing in the shower. Food, is plenty! What next? I expect to traverse "Europa"! Have not I always said this? Okay, time for some "Imagine Dragons" Oh speaking of Dragons, I saw in the Noble Dreams how SA "recognized them" and since, a trend "followed suit". Thubans is a "copy cat". What I say to you - is- be yourself. You cannot fail there. Now, for some MusiKa!

    Did I forget to tell you "I Love You". I do.

    THINK THIS LADY IS PISSED?

    Alan Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation

    as he compared "Social Security " to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.

    Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ...

    I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

    "Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!!!

    1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.

    2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

    3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans,

    were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes

    decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes,

    thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme

    that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

    4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk"

    pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement

    and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67.

    NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

    5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One,

    and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game.

    Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent

    that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.

    6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives,

    and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again.

    Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately

    that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money.

    Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

    To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence.

    Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

    1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers

    during your pathetic 50-year political career?

    2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career,

    and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

    3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

    4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal,

    or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

    It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones.

    It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America

    and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.

    And for what?

    Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.

    That's right, sir.

    You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers.

    You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

    And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

    P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements".

    WHAT AN INSULT!!!!

    I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years “It's my money”

    -give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself on the back

    like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks .

    ~ Patty Myers

    EVERYONE!!

    If you agree with Patty Myers, says, please PASS IT ON!!!!

    A somber memorial has been turned into a political sideshow this week — and tempers are rising. The World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., has become a victim of the government shutdown, drawing attention-hungry lawmakers (and the media) throughout the week to a quiet place where respect is paid to honor those who had died serving their country — and the commotion is frustrating veterans and the volunteers who help them. “I’m pissed off,” said Gary Kelch, a furloughed federal employee and a veteran who was visiting the memorial. “It’s all just political theatrics. I don’t mind being furloughed if it gets attention [from Congress]. I’m good with losing a couple weeks of pay. But this is disgusting.” Barricades set up on the first day of the government shutdown drew the wrath of vets from around the country who had come to visit. That quickly became fodder for Republican lawmakers seeking to use the closure to cast blame on President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, though members of both parties were at the memorial this week, greeting veterans and posing for photographs.

    “I think it’s trashy politics if a politician is coming down to get publicity at a memorial that they have closed. I’m talking about both sides,” said Colonel Al Appling, a Vietnam War veteran visiting with his wife, Joan, from Miramar Beach, Fla. Indeed, several members have visited to specifically meet with constituent veterans who were in town. Honor Flight, a group that brings veterans to D.C., frequently reaches out to lawmakers’ offices to let them know veterans will be visiting. But in the days since the shutdown, the memorial has been used in a far more public and political context.
    “It was really disturbing to see congressmen out here grandstanding, using this as a political device when it was in fact Congress — the House — that was responsible for the shutdown,” said Dave Smith, a furloughed EPA employee who was visiting the memorial Friday.

    The Three Headed Hydra ...

    http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vatican/esp_vatican33.htm



    extracted from Spectrum Magazine August 2002

    from SpectrumMagazine Website



    Editor’s note:

    You just never know where or when some truly insightful information
    is going to cross our path to share with you.

    How the Vatican created Islam.

    The astonishing story from an exJesuit priest,
    Alberto Rivera, which was told to him by Cardinal Bea while he was at the Vatican.


    How about a “comic book” form of publication of important suppressed history
    about the Jesuit/Vatican hand in the creation of Islam and Islam’s founder,
    the prophet Muhammad?



    According to the Introduction to what you are about to read:

    “This information came from Alberto Rivera, former Jesuit priest,
    after his conversion to Protestant Christianity.

    It is excerpted from The Prophet, published by Chick Publications, P.O. Box 662, Chino CA 91708.

    Since its publication, after several unsuccessful attempts on his life,
    he died suddenly from food poisoning.
    His testimony should not be silenced. Dr. Rivera speaks to us still.”

    "The Destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem" by Nicolas Poussin (1637)

    More complete information and color illustrations of this and related materials
    are available for viewing and purchase from the www choosinglife.net/Islam.htm
    Internet website.
    (Note that the website address is case-sensitive to the capital I in the word Islam.)


    Because of the provocative nature of this material, I (E.Y.)
    asked Rick Martin to contact SPECTRUM friend Eric Jon Phelps,
    author of the blockbuster research work VATICAN ASSASSINS, for his opinion.



    This is what Eric wrote back via email:

    “This is from the Chick comic book ‘Alberto’ series, titled The Prophet.
    And it is absolutely true.
    Islam is a sword of the Church evidenced by who the Moslems
    have killed for the last 100 years.”

    Eric also said, in a later communication,
    that Dr. Alberto Rivera first publicly released this information back in 1988.



    Of course, Eric would likely add another twenty pages of details
    to this document tracing the Jesuit hand in these shenanigans,
    but you’ll be able to spot that thread easily enough from what is related
    in the following narrative.
    (analysis by Eric Phelps of a recent example of the typically two-faced nature
    of Vatican propaganda as carried out through their controlled media puppetry.)


    Pay attention to the overall picture being painted below;
    don’t get caught up in arcane theological language
    and related concepts that obviously derive from Dr. Rivera’s background.

    The Dark Energies, by any name, reveal themselves through their ACTIONS!


    Also pay close attention to another thread running through the following narrative
    —one which provides important background for the long-running Arab-Israeli conflict.

    In beautiful contrast to what you’re programmed to believe through the media,
    that Arabs and Israelis can’t get along,
    elsewhere in this issue of The SPECTRUM
    is a very warm and personal account of some Jews sharing in the hospitality of some Arabs.


    The actual (natural) inclination for people of even diverse backgrounds
    to generally live in peace and get along with each other on common human grounds
    always reveals when there has been the instigation of conditions
    (by diabolical ones operating behind the scenes)
    that are calculated to artificially provoke strife and war.



    The following is a good example of just such behind-the-scenes shenanigans
    that are carried out by ones long overshadowed by the Dark Energies.





    The Prophet, Muhammad

    What I’m going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in the Vatican
    when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction.


    A Jesuit cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately
    the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third century.

    Because of its religious history and its strategic location,
    the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure.

    A scheme had to be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city.

    The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael.

    The poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans
    ever devised by the Powers of Darkness.

    Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel,
    setting up small churches, but they met heavy opposition.
    Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted
    the believers in Christ to stop their spread.


    But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 A.D. Roman armies
    under General Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple
    which was the heart of Jewish worship
    —in fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy in Matthew 24:2.
    On this holy place, where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque
    stands today as Islam’s second most holy place.


    Sweeping changes were in the wind.

    Corruption, apathy, greed, cruelty, perversion, and rebellion were eating
    at the Roman Empire, and it was ready to collapse.

    The persecution against Christians was useless,
    as they continued to lay down their lives for the gospel of Christ.


    The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit “Christian” religion
    to destroy the work of God.

    The solution was in Rome.

    Their religion had come from ancient Babylon, and all it needed was a face-lift.

    This didn’t happen overnight, but began in the writings of the “early church fathers”.


    It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape.

    The statue of Jupiter in Rome was eventually called St. Peter,
    and the statue of Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary.

    The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called “Vaticanus”
    —the place of diving serpent where the satanic Temple of Janus stood.


    The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism,
    called “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth” (Revelation 17:5). She was raised up to block the gospel,
    slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars,
    and make the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication as we will see.

    Three major religions have one thing in common
    —each has a holy place where they look for guidance.

    Roman Catholicism looks to the Vatican as the Holy City.

    The Jews look to the wailing wall in Jerusalem,

    and the Muslims look to Mecca as their Holy City.



    Each group believes that they receive certain types of blessings
    for the rest of their lives for visiting their holy place.


    In the beginning, Arab visitors would bring gifts to the “House of God"
    and the keepers of the Kaaba were gracious to all who came.

    Some brought their idols and, not wanting to offend these people,
    their idols were placed inside the sanctuary.

    It is said that the Jews looked upon the Kaaba as an outlying tabernacle of the Lord, with veneration until it became polluted with idols.

    The Kaaba, Mecca



    In a tribal contention over a well (Zamzam) the treasure of the Kaaba
    and the offerings that pilgrims had given were dumped down the well
    and it was filled with sand; it disappeared.

    Many years later Adb al-Muttalib was given visions telling him
    where to find the well and its treasure.

    He became the hero of Mecca,
    and he was destined to become the grandfather of Muhammad.


    Before this time, Augustine became the bishop of North Africa
    and was effective in winning Arabs to Roman Catholicism, including whole tribes.

    It was among these Arab converts to Catholicism
    that the concept of looking for an Arab prophet developed.


    Muhammad’s father died from illness, and sons born to great Arab families
    in places like Mecca were sent into the desert to be suckled and weaned
    and spend some of their childhood with Bedouin tribes
    for training and to avoid the plagues in the cities.



    After his mother and grandfather also died,
    Muhammad was with his uncle when a Roman Catholic monk learned of his identity
    and said:

    “Take your brother’s son back to his country and guard him against the Jews,
    for by God, if they see him and know of him that which I know,
    they will construe evil against him.
    Great things are in store for this brother’s son of yours.”

    The Roman Catholic monk had fanned the flames for future Jewish persecutions
    at the hands of the followers of Muhammad.

    The Vatican desperately wanted Jerusalem because of its religious significance,
    but was blocked by the Jews.


    Another problem was the true Christians in North Africa who preached the gospel.

    Roman Catholicism was growing in power, but would not tolerate opposition.

    Somehow the Vatican had to create a weapon to eliminate both the Jews and the true Christian believers who refused to accept Roman Catholicism.

    Looking to North Africa, they saw the multitudes of Arabs
    as a source of manpower to do their dirty work.


    Some Arabs had become Roman Catholic,
    and could be used in reporting information to leaders in Rome.

    Others were used in an underground spy network to carry out Rome’s master plan
    to control the great multitudes of Arabs who rejected Catholicism.


    When “St. Augustine” appeared on the scene, he knew what was going on.

    His monasteries served as bases to seek out and destroy Bible manuscripts
    owned by the true Christians.


    The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs,
    someone they could raise up as a great leader, a man with charisma
    whom they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic Arabs behind him,
    creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.



    In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told us this story:

    A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope
    played a tremendous part in this drama. She was a widow named Khadijah.

    She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a convent, but was given an assignment.


    She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used by the Vatican
    to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael.



    Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah,
    who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic,
    and the Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad’s advisor.

    He had tremendous influence on Muhammad.



    Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training.

    Muhammad studied the works of St. Augustine,
    which prepared him for his “great calling”.

    The Vatican had Catholic Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one
    who was about to rise up among the people and be the chosen one of their God.


    While Muhammad was being prepared,
    he was told that his enemies were the Jews
    and that the only true Christians were Roman Catholic.

    He was taught that others calling themselves Christians
    were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed.

    Many Muslims believe this.


    Muhammad began receiving “divine revelations”
    and his wife’s Catholic cousin Waraquah helped interpret them.

    From this came the Koran.

    In the fifth year of Muhammad’s mission,
    persecution came against his followers because they refused
    to worship the idols in the Kaaba.


    Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia,
    where Negus, the Roman Catholic king, accepted them because Muhammad’s views
    on the virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic doctrine.

    These Muslims received protection from Catholic kings because of Muhammad’s revelations.


    Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols.



    History proves that before Islam came into existence,
    the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon-god who was married to the sun-god.

    They gave birth to three goddesses, who were worshipped throughout the Arab world
    as “Daughters of Allah”.

    An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in the 1950s
    shows Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.


    Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told:

    “You are the messenger of Allah.”

    This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages.

    By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding.

    The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad.


    Some of Muhammad’s writings were placed in the Koran,
    others were never published.

    They are now in the hands of high ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.

    When Cardinal Bea shared this information with us in the Vatican, he said:

    “These writings are guarded because they contain information
    that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam.”

    Both sides have so much information on each other that,
    if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a disaster for both religions.

    In their “holy” book, the Koran, Christ is regarded as only a prophet.

    If the pope was his representative on Earth, then he also must be a prophet of God.

    This caused the followers of Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another “holy man”.


    The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission
    to invade and conquer the nations of North Africa.



    The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive Islamic armies
    in exchange for three favors:

    Eliminate the Jews and Christians
    (the latter were regarded as true believers, which they called infidels)

    Protect the Augustinian monks and Roman Catholics

    Conquer Jerusalem for “His Holiness” in the Vatican

    As time went by, the power of Islam became tremendous
    —Jews and true Christians were slaughtered,
    and Jerusalem fell into their hands.

    Roman Catholics were never attacked, nor were their shrines, during this time.

    But when the pope asked for Jerusalem, he was surprised at their denial!



    The Arab generals had such military success that they could not be intimidated by the pope—nothing could stand in the way of their own plan.


    Under Waraquah’s direction,
    Muhammad wrote that Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice.

    The Bible says that Isaac was the sacrifice, but Muhammad removed Isaac’s name
    and inserted Ishmael’s name.

    As a result of this and Muhammad’s vision, the faithful Muslims built a mosque,
    the Dome of the Rock, in Ishmael’s honor,
    on the site of the Jewish temple that was destroyed in 70 A.D.

    This made Jerusalem the second most holy place in the Islamic faith.



    How could they give such a sacred shrine to the pope without causing a revolt?


    The pope realized what they had created was out of control
    when he heard they were calling “His Holiness” an infidel.

    The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah,
    and now they turned toward Europe.


    Islamic ambassadors approached the pope and asked for papal bulls
    to give them permission to invade European countries.

    The Vatican was outraged; war was inevitable. Temporal power
    and control of the world was considered the basic right of the pope.

    He wouldn’t think of sharing it with those whom he considered heathens.

    The pope raised up his armies and called them “crusades”
    to hold back the children of Ishmael from grabbing Catholic Europe.

    The crusades lasted for centuries and Jerusalem slipped out of the pope’s hands.

    Turkey fell, and Spain and Portugal were invaded by Islamic forces.

    In Portugal, they called a mountain village “Fatima” in honor of Muhammad’s daughter, never dreaming it would become world famous.


    Years later, when the Muslim armies were poised on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica,
    to invade Italy, there was a serious problem.

    The Islamic generals realized they were too far extended.

    It was time for peace talks.

    One of the negotiators was Francis of Assisi.

    As a result, the Muslims were allowed to occupy Turkey in a “Christian” world,
    and the Catholics were allowed to occupy Lebanon in the Arab world.

    It was also agreed that the Muslims could build mosques in Catholic countries
    without interference, as long as Roman Catholicism could flourish in Arab countries.


    Cardinal Bea told us in Vatican briefings that both the Muslims
    and Roman Catholics agreed to block and destroy the efforts of their common enemy:
    Bible-believing Christian missionaries.

    Through these concordats,
    Satan blocked the children of Ishmael from a knowledge of scripture and the truth.


    The Islamic community looks on the Bible-believing missionary as a devil
    who brings poison to the children of Allah.

    This explains years of ministry in those countries with little results.


    The Vatican also engineers a campaign of hatred
    between the Muslim Arabs and the Jews.

    Before this, they had co-existed peacefully.

    A light control was kept on Muslims
    — from the Ayatollah, down through the Islamic priests, nuns, and monks.


    The next plan was to control Islam. In 1910, Portugal was going Socialistic.

    Red flags were appearing and the Catholic Church was facing a major problem.

    Increasing numbers were against the Church.


    The Jesuits wanted Russia involved, and the location of this vision at Fatima
    could play a key part in pulling Islam to the Mother Church.

    In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima.

    “The Mother of God” was a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds.

    As a result, the Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat.


    Roman Catholics worldwide began praying for the conversion of Russia,
    and the Jesuits invented the novenas to Fatima,
    which they could perform throughout North Africa,
    spreading good public relations to the Muslim world.

    The Arabs thought they were honoring the daughter of Muhammad,
    which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe.


    As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army
    to crush Russia and the Orthodox religion, and make Russia Roman Catholic.

    A few years after he lost World War II, Pope Pius XII startled the world
    with his phony “dancing Sun” vision to keep Fatima in the news.

    It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it.

    Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision.


    As a result, a group of followers has grown into a Blue Army worldwide,
    totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to die for the Blessed Virgin.

    But we haven’t seen anything yet.

    The Jesuits have their Virgin Mary scheduled to appear
    four or five times in China, Russia, and major appearance in the U.S.


    What has this got to do with Islam?



    Note Bishop Sheen’s statement:

    “Our Lady’s appearances at Fatima marked the turning point
    in the history of the world’s 350 million Muslims.

    After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she
    ‘is the most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary.’

    He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima
    as a sign and a pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ’s virgin birth,
    will come to believe in his divinity.”

    Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima
    were enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere,
    and that many Muslims are now coming into the Roman Catholic Church.

    Example Of The Power Behind The Power


    Editor’s note:

    Most readers of this publication are aware of the eye-opening book VATICAN ASSASSINS
    and its engaging author, Eric Jon Phelps. (See inside back cover.)

    In our popular May 2000 issue, we introduced Eric for the first time
    in a front-page feature interview about the well-hidden,
    high-level Jesuit aspect of world control and their leader, the so-called “Black” Pope.


    Another article in this issue of The SPECTRUM provides
    great insight into the Jesuit/Vatican hand in the creation of Islam
    and the Prophet Muhammad.

    We see the modern effects of these manufactured “religious” tools of manipulation
    and division of peoples everywhere around the globe
    —and particularly in the boiling Middle East.


    While Eric’s remarkable Jesuit-connection research has stood up quite well
    to the test of scrutiny, that such a realm of global manipulation
    could have been so well concealed for so long
    is just too much for some so-called conspiracy authors to accept.

    Or they are beholden to other agendas which cause them to “act blind” to The Truth.


    With that said, we share the following analysis with you from Eric,
    who even provides his own introduction.

    If you look beyond the religious terminology behind which so many power plays unfold,
    what he has to say most clearly acts as an instructive exercise to help us not fall
    into obvious traps set up by those of a cunning and devious nature
    who are experts at making things seem to be what they are not.



    After all, their boss is the Great Deceiver himself!

    Dear Friends,

    This article [below] has been written by a brilliant and noted author
    who blamed the Pope’s Mossad of Zionist Israel
    as the true power behind the Kennedy Assassination.
    He bases his premise upon the fact that the late Yitzak Rabin
    was in Dallas on November 22, 1963 according to his late wife, Leah.


    He knows of me and is aware of my book VATICAN ASSASSINS.

    Still he maintains the false position that the Jews control the American Media
    while refusing to admit to the primacy of the Jesuit Order
    within the Pope’s Holy Roman Fourteenth Amendment American Empire (1868-Present)
    ruled through the Archbishop of New York’s Council on Foreign Relations.


    The Jews manning the Order’s American Press are the Pope’s “Court Jews”
    —the Masonic Jewish Zionists
    — and nearly all are members of the Council on Foreign Relations.

    This brings us to the three primary purposes of the Pope’s Masonic Jewish Zionists.



    They are:

    To take Jerusalem from the Moslems FOR THE POPE.

    This was accomplished during the Six-Day War in 1967.

    To deed over Jerusalem to the Papacy FOR THE POPE.

    This was accomplished in 1993 by Yossi Belin and Jesuit-trained Shimon Peres
    when the treasonous Oslo Accord functioned as an international diversion.

    To create anti-Jewish fury in foreign nations for the purpose of driving
    the Jews of those nations back to the Pope’s Zionist Israel
    in preparation for the ultimate “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”.

    The future Satan-possessed risen Pope will make one last mad attempt
    to kill the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David
    —and thus the physical descendants of the Lord Jesus Christ.


    Rather than merely forward this article to you,
    I felt compelled to comment as to its content and erroneous conclusion
    promulgated therein.

    Therefore I shall comment in bold.

    Vatican Links Israeli Influence To Media Attacks

    by Michael Collins Piper

    Exclusive To American Free Press

    (6/15/02)


    The Vatican has issued a not-so-subtle blast at the influence of the Israeli lobby
    over the American media monopoly.
    This is news that the media (not surprisingly) is keeping under wraps.


    You won’t read about it in your daily newspaper or hear Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw
    talking about it on television, but Civilta Cattolica
    —an influential Jesuit journal sanctioned by the Vatican
    —has fired a volley at the American media for its obsessive coverage
    of the Catholic Church sex scandals.

    [Civilta Cattolica (“Catholic Civilization” i.e. “World Government under the Pope”)
    is THE Jesuit house organ of the Vatican.

    Whatever is written here comes straight from the mouth of the Black Pope.

    This is the periodical that I quoted in VATICAN ASSASSINS
    which declared that “Fascism is the regime that corresponds
    most closely to the concepts of the Church of Rome.”]

    What is most significant is that in tracing the media’s interest in the Church’s troubles,
    the Vatican has hinted at the behind-the-scenes power of the inter-connected handful
    of powerful pro-Israel families and financial interests
    who dominate the media monopoly in shaping the media’s news coverage.

    [Now it’s time to blame the Jews in general.

    Does not Mr. Piper realize that the Council on Foreign Relations controls the Press?

    Sure he does!

    Who, dear reader, do you think is more powerful, Henry Kissinger, a CFR Presider,
    or the President of the Jesuits’ Fordham University in New York, Joseph A. O’Hare,
    another CFR Presider and Jesuit under Extreme Oath?



    Is not Fox News affiliated with the CFR?



    Of course it is, and its Director is Knight of Malta Rupert Murdoch,
    a porn king and promoter of the Jenin Massacre Hoax
    that was intended to ignite anti-Jewish fury within America.

    No—the JESUITS have used their controlled press,
    employing their Masonic Jewish Zionists,
    to expose the scandal of America’s Roman Hierarchy.

    The $64,000 question is: WHY!]

    Published on June 1 the Vatican-approved article flatly asserts that

    —at least in part because the Catholic Church refused to support the much-ballyhooed
    and media-promoted Persian Gulf War against Saddam Hussein in 1991
    —the controllers of the American media monopoly have nursed a grudge against the Church.

    [This is absolutely ridiculous!


    The Vatican, controlled by the Jesuits since 1814 upon their restoration by Pope Pius VII,
    caused the Persian Gulf War in 1991. The Jesuits controlled both sides,
    using brother Freemasons and business partners
    President George H. W. Bush and Saddam Hussein.



    That war was waged against the Moslem peoples of Iraq,
    not against Saddam Hussein, as he is still in power.
    The Vatican-controlled CFR/Jesuit Press may have OPENLY opposed the war
    —just like it OPENLY opposed Hitler’s extermination of the Jewish people;
    just as it OPENLY refused to recognize the Nation of Israel until 1993.

    But the Vatican’s SECRET policy was to support the Gulf War,
    Hitler’s Jewish genocide, and the Zionist Nation of Israel.



    The Pope always has TWO POLICIES—like the two-headed Janus that he is.

    One is OPEN and FALSE, intended for public confusion;
    the other is SECRET and TRUE, which is in fact the Black Pope’s agenda.]

    And while, in this context, the Vatican doesn’t say it directly,
    it is absolutely beyond question that it was the pro-Israel lobby
    that was the prime mover behind the war against Saddam
    who has long been perceived as one of Israel’s greatest enemies.

    [The pro-Israel lobby?



    There is no greater pro-Israel lobby than the Federal Reserve Bank, its primary class
    -A stockholders being New York banks managed by the Pope’s Knights of Malta,
    past men like Francis X. Stankard of Chase Manhattan Bank and Martin F. Shea of Citibank.
    The Director of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is the Jesuit-trained economist,
    Irish Roman Catholic and Papal Knight, William J. McDonough,
    though the Order has placed a CFR Masonic Jew to head
    the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan.



    And all these Papal Knights were or are members of the Council on Foreign Relations.
    The CFR is the pro-Zionist Government of Israel lobby,
    all the while plotting the mass murder of the Jewish people within Israel,
    once they have been used to rebuild Solomon’s Temple
    —for the Pope! Saddam Hussein is an enemy of the Jewish people
    but not the enemy of the Pope’s Masonic Jewish Zionist government.



    If Hussein is an enemy of the Pope’s Zionist Israel,
    then why did the Pope’s CFR use the American Military-Industrial Complex
    to arm him with biological, conventional, and nuclear weapons?

    Simple: Those weapons are to be used in a future war
    with an otherwise invincible American Military.



    Once we invade Iraq, just watch which weapons are used
    both in Central Asia and inside the borders of America.]

    In addition, in recent months—since the Sept. 11 attacks
    —Israel’s American lobby (actively abetted by the media monopoly)
    continued to push for war against Iraq, despite the fervent opposition
    of career American military leaders, including the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    [Again, Israel’s American lobby is indeed abetted by the Pope’s CFR media monopoly.

    Indeed, it pushed for war with Iraq—which is exactly what the Jesuit General wants
    —so that whatever calamities befall America as a result of that war,
    American Jews can be scapegoated, persecuted, and then driven back to Israel,
    fulfilling the dream of the Black Pope’s Ariel Sharon:
    increasing the population of Israel by one million Jews within fifteen years.



    This immigration will further secure Jerusalem for the Pope,
    using the Jewish people as a human shield against any Moslem
    who would dare to foil the rebuilding of the Pope’s new Temple.

    This means that the Palestinian agitation will be ended.

    The Joint Chiefs of Staff are all CFR members.

    If they opposed a war with Iraq,
    why have NONE of them resigned, refusing to commit such a travesty
    against a people betrayed by their Masonic leader, Saddam Hussein?



    The SECRET policy of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs is to wage the Black Pope’s war
    against the Iraqi people for expelling the Jesuit Order in 1969.

    Payback time has arrived once again for the Iraqis.]

    Given that—as the record indicates
    —the media’s sudden and intense interest in the Church’s problems did,
    in fact, evolve after Sept. 11, it is interesting to note that Civilta Cattolica
    also cited the aftermath of 9/11 in its dissection of the media’s attacks on the Church.



    The journal suggested that the Catholic Church’s appeals against “vendettas”
    against the Arab and Muslim world in the wake of 9/11 also offended the media,
    which has been heavily promoting an anti-Arab and anti-Muslim agenda,
    often quoting so-called “experts” on terrorism and on the Middle East who are
    —more often than not—advocates of Israeli policy
    and often directly affiliated with Israeli intelligence.

    [Yes, the Pope’s CFR/Jesuit-controlled media empire
    exposed the scandal of the Roman Hierarchy after 9/11. This had a dual purpose:

    to get the attention off the clues leading to CIA complicity
    in the demolition of the WTC, the CIA being directed by the Archbishop Egan’s CFR member
    and Knight of Malta, George J. Tenet

    to justify a secret meeting of the Pope’s thirteen American Cardinals,
    during which Council of War, deep inside the Vatican,
    their roles could be well defined during the coming destruction
    of apostate Protestant America

    Forget reform.



    It will never happen as long as that doctrine of demons called celibacy is still in force.
    Israeli Intelligence is a creation of the Black Pope’s CIA, as shown in VATICAN ASSASSINS.



    Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s most sinister General and Knight of Malta,
    trained the Mossad with his ex-Nazis.

    The source for this fact is none other than the brilliant John Loftus,
    as found in his The Secret War Against The Jews.



    And yes, most Jewish broadcasters,
    like Michael Savage and Chuck Morse, have heavily promoted the Black Pope’s war against Afghanistan, which war must ultimately move on to Iraq if the “war on terror is to be won”
    —so we are told.]



    Big Problem


    While no one excuses either the Vatican or other Church officials for misfeasance,
    malfeasance, or non-feasance in handling the travesty of sexual abuse by priests,
    the truth is that the problem has been one of long standing
    and has really been no secret whatsoever.

    [Correct. Then why would the Jesuits expose it now?]

    It was only after Sept. 11
    —as any content analysis of daily news coverage will affirm
    — that the American media began devoting so much space to the problem
    to the point that the term “Catholic” is now become almost synonymous
    in many people’s minds with “pedophilia”
    —a scourge which is, by no means, limited to any one religious affiliation.



    Some critics allege, for example,
    that pedophilia is actually advocated in portions of the Talmud.

    [We are getting off point here. Do not use this Jesuit ruse of war, Mr. Piper.
    The Roman Hierarchy, at which the Jesuit Order laughs while being outside
    of its jurisdiction, has been known for centuries as sexual predators of the worst sort.
    The closed cloistered convents have been houses of prostitution in every country,
    for which reason Republican Spain closed them all and expelled the Jesuits in 1932.



    And the damnable doctrine of priestial celibacy is its impetus.
    Simply read ex-priest Charles Chiniquy’s The Priest, The Woman,
    And The Confessional, written in the late nineteenth century. All will become crystal clear.]

    Although there are elements who promote the bizarre and totally outlandish theory
    that all of the great tragedies of history can be attributed to the Vatican
    — including the Bolshevik Revolution, both World War I and World War II,
    and even the assassination of America’s first Catholic president, John F. Kennedy
    —the record suggests otherwise.

    [Mr. Piper is referring to me here. I promote this “bizarre and totally outlandish theory”
    that all of the great tragedies of history for the last 450 years can be attributed to the Vatican
    —and I prove it in VATICAN ASSASSINS with an irrefutable chain of evidence. The record does not suggest otherwise. WHO BENEFITS, Mr. Piper?
    Always the Jesuits, as they use their Masonic Jewish Zionists to fulfill their grand design.
    To deny this irrefutable fact is to betray your true colors.]

    The Vatican’s criticism of the media giants is not a new development.

    [The Vatican always has TWO policies when implementing its Hegelian Dialectic:
    one is OPEN, which is the FALSE, and one is SECRET, which is the TRUE.]

    Several years ago, speaking before Corallo, the consortium of independent local radio
    and television channels in Italy, Pope John Paul II cited the rise of global media monopolies
    and emphasized the need for “local information”—that is, media voices outside the hands of the powerful media barons.



    The pope said that “communication has become the soul which shapes the culture of our time”
    and stressed what he called the “dignity” of independent media.

    [This is the Pope’s lying and false OPEN policy of the Jesuit General.
    It is intended to mislead us into thinking that the Vatican is for free enterprise
    —a free press, contrary to the Order’s Council of Trent which
    CONDEMNS FREEDOM OF SPEECH
    —when it is actually the master of the Fortune 500 corporations,
    many of which compose America’s CFR media monopoly.]

    Observers say the fact that the Vatican has fired back at its enemies
    —citing their hidden motivations—indicates this “warning shot across the bow”
    could very well point toward a new, bold approach to world affairs
    by the Catholic Church which, for the last 50 years,
    has approached its dealings with Israel and its worldwide supporters
    in a most gingerly fashion.

    [Indeed, the Vatican’s Jesuits, having used their Masonic Jewish Zionist agitators,
    have laid the foundation for firing at their age-old enemies.
    Those enemies are the Jewish people and any who would come to their defense
    —like us Bible-believing White Anglo-Saxon Protestant and Baptist Calvinists.
    But we have weathered not only “warning shots” but a thousand fields of battle
    in resisting the machinations of the Black Pope as he attempts to reduce every nation
    to the “Temporal Power of the Papal Caesar”
    in his bold attempt to rule the world from Jerusalem.



    We know that the Pope has ALWAYS had a bold approach to world affairs, that approach being anything but “gingerly”.



    For the creation of the Pope’s Zionist Israel required the “gingerly” mass extermination
    of two-thirds of European Jewry and millions of Russian Jews,
    to the delight of Jesuit-trained Joseph Stalin.
    The subjugation of Russia and China required the “gingerly” extermination
    of fifty-million Chinese and millions of Orthodox Russians in gulags of Siberia.


    No, Mr. Piper, the Jesuits in control of the Vatican will continue their mass murder
    of “heretics and liberals” for the next fifty years
    —ever true to their Satanic Jesuit Oath of the Fourth Vow.
    And the Order’s “Skull and Bones” George W. Bush
    —who during his initiation “kissed the slippered toe of the Pope”
    —has started this new century off with a bang.



    That bang will be the death knell to millions of “infidel” Moslems,
    “liberal” Roman Catholics, and “heretic” Bible-believers and “perfidious Jews”
    to the orgasmic delight of the Black Pope and his master.]

    FINANCIAL TIMES: China and Japan warn US on default
    Article: http://www.stage2omega.com/blog/financial-times-china-and-japan-warn-us-on-default
    By Tom Mitchell in Beijing, Gina Chon in Washington, Ben McLannahan in Tokyo and Paul J Davies in Hong Kong
    China and Japan ratcheted up pressure on the US to avoid an unprecedented US default on its debt as Democrats and Republicans continued their stand-off over the budget in the second week of a US government shutdown.
    Two senior White House economic officials said on Monday that President Barack Obama would not back down from his refusal to negotiate with Republicans in Congress, increasing worries that the debt ceiling limit would be reached on October 17 without an agreement, raising the threat of a default.

    In its first official reaction to the US political stalemate over the budget and looming debt ceiling deadline later this month, Beijing said “the clock is ticking” and urged politicians in Washington to “ensure the safety of the Chinese investments”.
    Zhu Guangyao, vice-finance minister, told a media briefing that China has made clear its unease over the political impasse in Washington. In Japan, the Ministry of Finance is very worried about the potential impact on , according to a senior official. A US default could cause to dump the US dollar, which would sharply push up the value of the yen.
    On Tuesday Japan’s finance minister Taro Aso called on “the United States to resolve its debt ceiling stand-off without delay”.
    The absolute value of US bonds held by the Japanese government could decline if the situation was not brought to a swift end, he added.

    House Republican leaders have maintained a hardline in the current budget battle. John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, declared on Sunday it was “time for us to stand and fight” over the US budget.
    Mr Boehner said the Republican majority in the House would not pass bills to fund the government or increase the debt ceiling unless the Obama administration was willing to make concessions on healthcare and other issues.
    Gene Sperling, the chairman of the White House’s National Economic Council, indicated the administration might consider a short-term lift of the debt ceiling, adding that it was up to Congress to decide the duration of any increase.
