The background of Mr. Van Rompuy, the new President of the European Union
Do you wonder.... about the background of the very much unknown-to-the-world new President of the European Union?
European who? some may ask. Mr. Herman Van Rompuy now presides a union, which almost matches the US in Gross National Product (1), technology and surpasses it in population, and who was not democratically elected. That is how important this "unknown factor" is.
[our highlights]
A brief bird's eye view (2) into Mr. Van Rompuy soul....
Van Rompuy, a conservative Catholic, born in 1947, was active in the youth section of the Flemish
Christian-Democrat Party. He wrote books and articles
about the importance of traditional values, the role of religion, the protection of the unborn
life, the Christian roots of Europe and the need to preserve them. The undemocratic and immoral
nature of Belgian politics repulsed him and led to a sort of crisis of conscience.
In April 1990, the Belgian King abdicated over the abortion issue, and the Christian-Democrat Party, led by Herman Van Rompuy, who had always prided himself on being a good Catholic, had one of Europe's most liberal abortion bills signed by the college of ministers, a procedure provided by the Belgian Constitution for situations when there is no King.
Herman's political career continued. He became Belgium's Budget Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Speaker of the Chamber of Representatives and finally Prime Minister. He kept publishing intellectual and intelligent books, but instead of defending the concept of the good, he now defended the concept of "the lesser evil."
One day he even had the locks of the plenary meeting room changed so that Parliament could not convene to vote on the issue. On another occasion, he did not show up in his office for a whole week to avoid opening a letter demanding him to table the matter. His tactics worked. In December 2008, when the Belgian Prime Minister had to resign in the wake of a financial scandal, Herman became the new leader of the predominantly French-speaking government which does not represent the majority of Belgium's ethnic majority group. During the past 11 months, he has skillfully managed to postpone any parliamentary vote on the BHV matter, thereby prolonging a situation which the Supreme Court, responding to Herman's own complaint in 2003, has ruled to be unconstitutional.
Now, Herman has moved on to lead Europe. Like Belgium, the European Union is an undemocratic institution, which needs shrewd leaders who are capable of renouncing everything they once believed in and who know how to impose decisions on the people against the will of the people. Never mind democracy, morality or the rule of law, our betters know what is good for us more than we do. And Herman is now one of our betters. He has come a long way since the days when he was disgusted with Belgian-style politics.

Mr. Van Rompuy speaks.... (3)
"We are living through exceptionally difficult times: the financial crisis and its dramatic impact
on employment and budgets, the climate crisis which threatens our very survival. A period of
anxiety, uncertainty and lack of confidence. Yet these problems can be overcome by common efforts
in and between our countries. 2009 is also the first
year of global governance, with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial
crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another
step towards the global management of our planet. Our mission is one of hope, supported by
acts and action."

The real "genealogy" of the all too famous H1N1 virus
Do you wonder.... about the real "genealogy" of the all too famous H1N1 virus?
Here it is, courtesy of a friend of The M+G+R Foundation. Since it was prepared by the CDC before the "hype by decree" of the Swine Flu we feel that it is as accurate as it could be expected. We will reproduce the excerpts of the communication recieved from him:
I have taken some time and done a little research on the question of the 1918 flu, and found a
review by Taubenberger and Morens, published in Emerging Infectious Diseases Vol. 12, No. 1,
January 2006. (1) Why that matters is
because it was published before the current H1N1 was discovered, and therefore the misinformation
surrounding it was not reflected in the review. Their numbers are as follows:
But where they also taught me something is in making the case that the H1N1 of that pandemic came back in all successive flu pandemics into the 1950s, having reassorted with other viruses to acquire H3N2surface proteins.
After that, the viral lineage disappeared only to "re-emerge" from a lab freezer in the 1970s.
Astonishingly, that is all that is said of the re-emergence of H1N1. There is a video circulating (2) of a nun trained in medicine talking about this and she says the same, but there has to be a story here, that nobody mentions.
Aside from that, the virulent form of the virus evolved into attenuated forms that continue to circulate into and out of freezers around the world.
(1) Emerging Infectious Diseases Vol. 12, No. 1, January 2006
(2) Conferences by Dr. Teresa Forcales
An estimated one third of the world's population (or aprox. 500
million persons) were infected and had clinically apparent illnesses
(Ref1,Ref2) during the 1918-1919 influenza
pandemic. The disease was exceptionally severe. Case fatality rates were >2.5%, compared to
<0.1% in other influenza pandemics
(Ref3,Ref4). Total deaths were estimated
at aprox. 50 million (50,000,000) and were arguably as high as 100 million
(Ref7).
But where they also taught me something is in making the case that the H1N1 of that pandemic came back in all successive flu pandemics into the 1950s, having reassorted with other viruses to acquire H3N2surface proteins.
All influenza A pandemics since that time, and indeed almost all
cases of influenza A worldwide (excepting human infections from avian viruses such as H5N1 and
H7N7), have been caused by descendants of the 1918 virus, including "drifted" H1N1 viruses and
reassorted H2N2 and H3N2 viruses.
After that, the viral lineage disappeared only to "re-emerge" from a lab freezer in the 1970s.
With the appearance of a new H2N2 pandemic strain in 1957
("Asian flu"), the direct H1N1 viral descendants of the 1918 pandemic strain disappeared from
human circulation entirely, although the related lineage persisted enzootically in pigs. But in
1977, human H1N1 viruses suddenly "reemerged" from a laboratory freezer
(Ref9). They continue to circulate
endemically and epidemically.
Astonishingly, that is all that is said of the re-emergence of H1N1. There is a video circulating (2) of a nun trained in medicine talking about this and she says the same, but there has to be a story here, that nobody mentions.
Aside from that, the virulent form of the virus evolved into attenuated forms that continue to circulate into and out of freezers around the world.

Swine Flu Propaganda Campaign
Do you wonder... what is the most effective way to move the masses to demand something that you want them to have or to submit to?
Simple: Convince them that their very lives depend on it. (1)
Now that you have something concrete to compare with, imagine when you are told if you do not submit to the False Christ (2) you will go to hell. For a preview on this, review some of the experiences of those who tried to disassociate themselves from the Opus Dei. (3)

Small injectable microchips can be already manufactured
Do you wonder... how small can injectable microchips be manufactured?
This is how small.... (1)
[our highlighting]
The world's smallest and thinnest RFID tags were introduced yesterday by Hitachi. Tiny miracles of
miniaturization, these RFID chips (Radio Frequency IDentification chips) measure
just 0.05 x 0.05 millimeters. (Story submitted
2/14/2007)
...
The new RFID chips have a 128-bit ROM for storing a unique 38 digit number, like their predecessor.
...
How far away could you be, and still read the information from this "powder RFID?" The source article is very thin; however, the mu-chip mentioned earlier is readable from a distance of 25 centimeters (about ten inches) with an external antenna like the one mentioned in the preceding paragraph. This doesn't sound like much, but it's certainly enough to read people going through doorways, for example.

The lack of a concerted response on Swine Flu
Do you wonder... how is the world ever going to agree on a strategy for fighting climate change when it can't even co-ordinate its response to swine flu? (1)
Think about it.... there is a lot to this seemingly innocuous question. (1)

The Mother Goddess is the earlier and primitive interpretation of the Virgin Mary (not to be adored)
Do you wonder... why esoteric/occult believers claim that the Virgin Mary is nothing more than the Christian version of what the constellation Virgo represents which is the Mother Goddess?
Because it is true except in the direction of its evolution. The Mother Goddess is the earlier and primitive interpretation of the Virgin Mary. The precursor of the Mother Goddess was the Mother Earth which was adored as some time in the past.
Since the time when man was created in the Image of God (1), the Holy Spirit of God has been inspiring His children with the Eternal Truths. Said Truths can only be assimilated/understood within the framework of the mentality, intellect and customs of the time, therefore, their manifestation was always colored by the lack of full information. This Divine methodology was confirmed by Jesus Himself: I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. [John 16:12]
Then, Jesus came to: (a) Offer Himself as the only sacrifice that could pay for the betrayal of God (symbolized by the events at the Garden of Eden (1)); and (b) Conduct a multitude of What part of "this" (2) don't quite understand yet? "seminars/conferences/rallies".
The plot really thickens when one reads in Jeremiah 44 that a "queen of heaven" was adored by the pagans in his time and many members of the Chosen People joined resulting in serious consequences for them.
But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the
sword, and by famine. [Jeremiah
44:18]
Then Catholics "come on the scene" and pronounce Mary "Queen of Heaven" which, of course, is used by the enemies to easily bash Catholicism.
Well, Jeremiah was right and so is Catholicism but the "Bashers" are wrong. However, this can only be understood if what we explained above is comprehended:
The Virgin Mary is the full manifestation of what earlier
cultures only had a hint of.
Indeed She has an awesome power as we have explained elsewhere (3) but She is not a goddess nor should be adored under any circumstances.

The Kingdom of God has nothing to do with a human King. As related through Samuel.
Do you wonder... why would God establish a Messianic Kingdom as Jews and many Christians expect - under a human King-Messiah - thus starting the much talked about "Golden Era" when God Himself was against the idea of setting a King above His people? To wit:
4 Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to
Samuel to Ramatha. 5 And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways:
make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have. 6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of
Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 And
the Lord said to
Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that
they say to thee. For they
have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over
them. 8 According to all their works, they have done from
the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served
strange gods, so do they also unto thee. [1 Samuel
8:4-8]
The answer is simple. Whether Jew or Christian or Muslim - Religious leaders learned their trade in the same place where they train managers for Cafeteria chains.... and the Special of the Day or Blue Plate rarely is related to the Will of God and mostly related to human agendas.
The obvious escaped most - The Kingdom of God has been amply described in the Holy Scriptures and its frequently invoked Keys have been explained in one of our documents (2) - and neither has anything to do with a human King.
One must wonder - Do the top echelons of religious institutions really believe in God? Would the act - as they have for centuries, with notable exceptions - as they do if they really believe in God?
We really do not think so. It seems that such was the case already when Francis of Assisi walked in Time. (3)

The presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The priest establishment did not recognize Him.
Do you wonder... what all, besides the obvious (1), is really behind the story of the presentation of Jesus at the Temple and the meeting with Simeon and Anna? (2)
Consider the following.....
No priest, pharisee or scribe recognized Him.
Simeon - representing a devout but regular citizen of Jerusalem - member of the "laity" - recognized Him.
Anna - representing a cloistered religious but not member on the priest, scribe and pharisee establishment - recognized Him
Simeon - representing a devout but regular citizen of Jerusalem - member of the "laity" - recognized Him.
Anna - representing a cloistered religious but not member on the priest, scribe and pharisee establishment - recognized Him
Obviously, it is only the ones who have Eyes to See, regardless of their state - regular citizen or self consecrated to God - who will recognize Jesus then, and now.
Statistically speaking, the fraction belonging to the priest, pharisee and scribe classes who would recognize Jesus, then and now, is negligible.
As a bonus - we are also shown that the Holy Spirit of God was already working on the people of God long before the Pentecost.
(1) The obvious being the prophecies regarding His future and impact on the world.
