PURPOSE

The purpose of this News Commentary Section is to assist the faithful in recognizing the signs and lies of These End Times. Somehow, many self appointed Shepherds of These Times are trying to convince the faithful that the Apocalypse will be, using street slang, "a piece of cake" for them and "hell" for all others. They are led to believe that if they "do this" and "do that" they do not have a thing to worry about (of course, so long as that between the "do this" and the "do that" they send in a donation).

Others lead the faithful to believe that "All Is Well" and will continue to be, of course, as long as those donations keep coming in...

Wrong! For either case scenario to be true, the Old and New Testament have to be invalid. Logically, if the Holy Scriptures are invalid there is no use for "Shepherds", is there? So what is their function besides collecting money?

Spending it, of course!

Now, let us focus on the real world and the news about its structures, philosophies and half-baked theories - and see them crumble. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit of God, Who cannot be falsified, the disoriented faithful will be able to understand what is truly taking place and why.

NEWS - The Vatican Shocked With Fátima (Front Page News)

LISBON, Portugal (Correio da Manhã) - September 29, 2004

Translation of key headlines and commentaries from Portuguese to English.



The M+G+R Foundation Comments

We are happy to see that the Vatican agrees with our assessment of "going too far" regarding the inappropriate use of the altars and altar areas of a Roman Catholic Church.

Now, the real struggle begins. To take away the Sanctuary of Fátima from the control of the Portuguese Catholic Church is much, much easier said than done. Rome forgets that in Portugal, attempts to, or real threats of, public lynching as the result of political vendettas is still "normal" We know very well who is behind both sides and the interaction is going to be most interesting. Tragically and as usual, it will be damaging to the Faith.

NEWS - Miraculous' Christ Washes Up in Texas Rio Grande

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - September 28, 2004 - A fiberglass statue of Christ that washed up on a sandbar in the Rio Grande three weeks ago is attracting scores of devout pilgrims to a police department lost-and-found and being hailed as a miracle.

Police in Eagle Pass, Texas, said up to 40 people a day are coming to pay homage to the five-foot-tall figurine, known as "The Christ of the Undocumented," which was found by U.S. Border Patrol agents in the river.

"Some come to pray, and some come and just touch it," police lieutenant Daniel Morales said by telephone on Monday. "We have never experienced anything like this before, and interest is growing by the day."

Local Catholic Church authorities called the figure's arrival "miraculous" and said they wanted to place it in a specially dedicated chapel in the city.

"Jesus Christ manifests himself in many places, but he showed himself here in the way of an undocumented migrant," said Marta Ramirez, a spokeswoman for the city's Our Lady of Refuge Church.

"We think it's appropriate to place it in a special chapel."


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

It seems that the Demise of the Faith is beginning to scare the Roman Catholic Church.

At the risk of being called "heretics", "conspiracy theorists", etc. we want to call this new "miracle" a fraud-in-the-making.

That technique - a statue appearing miraculously - has been used many times for centuries in Europe and the Americas by the Roman Catholic clergy to "kindle the faith" of the otherwise unimpressed (by their example) wayward faithful. It has proven to be a tremendous source of income and has continued to foster the spirit of idolatry, which seems to be well rooted in the (improper) practice of Roman Catholicism.

Neither God nor the pristine Roman Catholic Faith needs such bogus assistance.

We do look forward to the day when God brings the prostitution of the Faith to a thundering end - something that He will do Himself without the "assistance" of the Opus Dei; after all, they will also be directly affected by such "thundering action".

NEWS - 50-billion-ton Asteroid is ready for its close-up

ASTEROID FLYBY: Asteroid 4179 Toutatis - also dubbed Planet "X" in hushed tones - is flying past Earth this week. The weirdly tumbling space rock is close enough (960,000 miles) and bright enough (9th magnitude) to see through backyard telescopes. For the next few days it will scoot through the constellation Capricornus where amateur astronomers worldwide can find it.

By September 29th, when Toutatis is closest to Earth, it will be visible mainly from the southern hemisphere. Observers there can see it passing not far from the bright star Alpha Centauri. Follow the links at Space Weather to sky maps and detailed ephemerides.

We appreciate Heaven's highlighting The M(ichael) + G(abriel) + R(aphael) Foundation by bringing this irregular asteroid to its closest point on earth on September 29th - the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.

In the face of no financial resources for traditional Domain promotional endeavors, God does it free of charge and in a truly spectacular way, after all, it will be the biggest thing to pass this way, this close, as fas as mankind knows, until 2060.

NEWS - 1918 killer flu virus to be tested in UW lab
Study needed to head off next epidemic, scientists say

Washington (SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTS) - Sept. 18, 2004 - University of Washington scientists plan to infect monkeys with a killer flu virus grown from tissue exhumed from victims of the 1918 epidemic.

They hope the insight they gain will unravel the mystery of why tens of millions of people worldwide died from the virulent flu strain and lead to development of better vaccines and drugs that may save lives in the future.

"This was the most deadly infectious disease in the history of mankind, killing at least 40 million people," said Dr. Michael Katze, a UW microbiologist and principal investigator for the local arm of the project.

"To this day, nobody understands why the virus was so deadly."


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

"To this day, nobody understands why the virus was so deadly." ??? Our scientists... May God Bless their eyesight so that they be able to see the price the world will have to pay for their arrogance. Fools!

On July 13, 1917, Mary said to the children at Fátima:


But what should we expect from the scientists? Those who were to take aggressive spiritual action to avert World War II, the Administrators of the Roman Catholic Church, sat on their hands, as has been customary for the last 1600 years unless their physical patrimony was at stake, and we are still paying for those consequences.

God made His promise, through Mary, good, and Worl War I ended as the result of such plague. For those who understand the Divine, it is clear that that was the most merciful way to end World War I.

Well, my dear brothers and sisters, if another such plague is what is going to take to mercifully subdue the arrogance of man - cleric or otherwise - "May God grant us such Grace!" [and you may certainly quote miguel de Portugal as making such invocation.]

NEWS - N.Korea Vows Will Never Dismantle Nuclear Arms

SEOUL (Reuters) - Sept. 18, 2004 - North Korea will never dismantle its nuclear arsenal and will not resume talks on its atomic programs unless the United States drops its "hostile" policy, the North's official KCNA news agency said on Saturday.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

It is not a matter of philosophizing whether is good or not that they take such attitude. It is a matter of placing oneself in their shoes - and with their mentality, not ours (as we usually do!) - and realize that with the "track record" of the current U.S. Administration they see only two options:


Of course regarding option (b): In the nuclear war stage, a passing misunderstanding/misjudgment cannot be stopped, therefore, sooner or later they will strike "...because they thought that..." ...the already spoken of "Oops!" non reversible and devastating event.

We do not see the necessity of calling Daniel to interpret this "handwriting on the wall" either. It should be plainly clear what will take place unless the U.S. proves to the world with actions that aggressive/offensive behavior has become part of the regrettable past.

NEWS - [New York Times] Russians Cite Porous Security in Terror Bombings of 2 Planes

MOSCOW, Sept. 15 - First through police bungling, then in part through a petty bribe, the two Chechen women who killed themselves and 88 others in the bombings of two Russian passenger jets last month were able to pass uninspected through layers of airport security and checks, even after being identified as possible terrorists, Russia's senior prosecutor said Wednesday.

Prosecutor General Vladimir V. Ustinov said that the two women had been detained in the airport shortly before boarding, but both were released by a police supervisor and one swiftly bribed her way onto the aircraft she would later destroy. She paid a paltry sum: the... equivalent to $34, Mr. Ustinov said.

Mr. Ustinov reported that the investigation into the bombings "has established that a Sibir Airlines official who was responsible for controlling passenger registration and boarding allowed one of the female terrorists to board the airplane in violation of all regulations and for a bribe." Corruption is endemic in post-Soviet Russia, infecting virtually all spheres of life. A report published this week by The Economist Intelligence Unit, a service produced by the Economist magazine, estimated that bribes amounted to 4 percent of Russia's gross domestic product in 2001.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

Anyone who does not believe that there are suit case sized nuclear bombs - acquired in the post Soviet Union arms black market - stashed away waiting to be used "at the right time" should consider psychological counseling since they are living a self-delusion which prevents them to act as responsible citizens at the polls.

NEWS - In a secret Paris cavern, the real underground cinema

PARIS (The Guardian, UK) - September 8, 2004 -- Police in Paris have discovered a fully equipped cinema-cum-restaurant in a large and previously uncharted cavern underneath the capital's chic 16th arrondissement...

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible - among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise... across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.

After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access. Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing...

Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq. metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs"... "The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."

Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board... the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

The miles of tunnels and catacombs underlying Paris are essentially former quarries, dating from Roman times, from which much of the stone was dug to build the city...

The recent discovery of three newly enlarged tunnels underneath the capital's high-security La Santé prison was put down to the activities of one such group, and another, identifying itself as the Perforating Mexicans, last night told French radio the subterranean cinema was its work.

Patrick Alk, a photographer who has published a book on the urban underground exploration movement... told RTL radio the cavern's discovery was "a shame, but not the end of the world". There were "a dozen more where that one came from," he said.

"You guys have no idea what's down there."


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

This is just another example of how truly vulnerable everyone is to terrorist attacks - a vulnerability that will only increase as we use brute force to try to subdue those who feel that they have nothing to lose and to whom dying for their cause is truly an honor.

With the information summarized above as a backdrop - Can anyone see how easily would be to essentially bring France to its knees by just a handful of potential martyrs placing explosives in key spots of the 170 miles of known underground tunnels. Only God knows how many more there are about which the "tunnel patrol" obviously have no idea that exist.

It is not our intent to scare anyone. Our intent is to clearly point out to one and all that our safety is not in the hands of any State - regardless of the size of its Nuclear Arsenal. Our safety lies squarely in the Hands of God, as we have amply pointed out before by exposing our gaping vulnerability.

We challenge any State to tackle and subdue the 21st Century Ivan the Terrible (the hurricane that is trampling through the Caribbean with a destructive force seldom seen). However, we can fully trust God to protect His own from such brutal manifestation of the forces of nature... forces which God has allowed.

Oremus...

Yesterday we read in the NEWS

MOSCOW (AFP) - September 8, 2004 - Russia is prepared to make pre-emptive strikes on "terrorist bases" anywhere in the world, the Interfax news agency cited the country's chief of staff as saying.

"With regard to preventive strikes on terrorist bases, we will take any action to eliminate terrorist bases in any region of the world. But this does not mean we will carry out nuclear strikes," (*) General Yuri Baluyevsky said Wednesday.

Baluyevsky added that Russia's choice of action "will be determined by the concrete situation where ever it may be in the world. "Military action is the last resort in the fight against terrorism."


Today we read in the NEWS

MOSCOW (Reuters) September 9, 2004 - Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned the West not to meddle with Russia's Chechnya policy on Thursday in the wake of a bloody hostage crisis, highlighting a growing rift over the issue between former Cold War foes.

He said, in a reference to British and U.S. offers of asylum to spokesmen for Chechen rebel leader Aslan Maskhadov, that the West was directly interfering in an internal issue. "When our Western partners say we should re-examine our policy, what you call our tactics, I would advise them not to interfere in our Russian internal affairs," he told reporters.

"Preventive strikes do not mean using navy or air force," (*) Interfax news agency quoted him as saying. "It will all depend on circumstances ... We will not warn anyone in advance."

The following quote was deleted from the original mews report: " Russia is angry that Britain and the United States have given asylum to spokesmen for Chechen separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov, who Moscow blames along with rebel commander Shamil Basayev for the deaths of hundreds of hostages."

(*) Of course, the Russian central government also said that they would not storm the school and cause a slaughter of children but, "Oops!", something went wrong and it happened. This is the same "Oops!" which will cause the manifestation of Step No. 1


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

Do we need to call Daniel [Daniel 5: 1-30] to interpret the handwriting on the wall or has miguel de Portugal made it clear enough already?

However, we take this opportunity to plead, no, not plead, beg the Bush Administration not to make the miscalculation we pleaded with President Bush not to make before the attack against Iraq. The entire Bush Administration key players, added up together, are not a match for Vladimir Putin. An "Oops!" after a series of nuclear tipped ICBM's have been launched is impossible to reverse. This is not a matter of partisan politics, this is a matter of playing with a fire that will burn and, in this case, will also consume.

NEWS - Study links TV to teen sexual activity

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Tuesday, September 7, 2004 -- Teenagers who watch a lot of television with sexual content are twice as likely to engage in intercourse than those who watch few such programs, according to a study published Tuesday.

"This is the strongest evidence yet that the sexual content of television programs encourages adolescents to initiate sexual intercourse and other sexual activities," said Rebecca Collins, a psychologist at the RAND Corp. who headed the study.

"The impact of television viewing is so large that even a moderate shift in the sexual content of adolescent TV watching could have a substantial effect on their sexual behavior," she added.

"Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell? Therefore, behold, *I* send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes;... and [some] of them ye will... persecute from city to city; so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon *you*, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias,... Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation." [Matthew 23:33-36]

The entire world economy depends on marketing. Marketing depends on advertising. Advertising obviously works.

Therefore, if in a 30 minute television program all they need is 10 minutes of advertising, for which millions of dollars may be charged, to keep the market economy going, in God's Name: What do you think the effect that the programming covering the other 20 minutes of the broadcast do to the mind of the viewers? Of your children?

We have written about this years ago - but - Is it really necessary to point out the obvious? To run surveys? Only if you have been thoroughly brainwashed and lead a zombie like existence.

Quit talking about the Virgin Mary while rolling your eyes in ecstasy and start obeying Her. Talk is very cheap... Shut up and act!

Yes, this is the generation about which Jesus was referring to in His words reproduced above.

Note to non Catholics: If you do not believe in the Virgin Mary apparitions and messages, we truly respect your beliefs and the above commentary is certainly not directed to you, however, do Our Lord Jesus Christ a favor: Every time you see a Catholic "blowing their Marian Horn" just ask him/her: "Do you live Her messages? Do you meditate the Rosary daily? Do you offer acts of reparation to the Most High?" Then, ask for specifics. Most likely, you will see them squirm (as we have often seen them)... perhaps those guilt pangs will move them to "live" what they "talk." Thank you!

NEWS REPORT - Where in Washington, D.C. is Sun Myung Moon?

Note: For those who are not familiar with Sun Myung Moon: He considers himself the Savior of the World and is here to finish the "incomplete and failed" mission of Jesus Christ. He refers to himself as "Father" (as Jose María Escrivá insisted to be referred to) and his wife has been crowned "Mother" so that now, in accordance to Moon, humanity finally have their "Heavenly Father and Mother on Earth".

Although we are not politically oriented and strive to steer away from involvement in political discussions, when someone like Moon gets involved in high powered political maneuvers, miguel de Portugal does get involved. Not because of the political aspects, but because someone is daring to usurp the position of Jesus Christ and attempting to enlist the world powers to implement his "Salvation" program.

The following is a confirmed excerpt of a statement by Moon from a reference we have just received:

1. Moon is referring to Former President George Bush
2. Underscoring by The M+G+R Foundation




The M+G+R Foundation Comments

We recommend the careful and objective review of the document sent to us and which we have stored in our servers. Do not take the word of the original writer, check his links to documents published by the Moon group and you will see what has been taking place in the physical world, behind the scenes, while the faithful is being "entertained" with attending demonstrations, signing petitions and chasing the latest "Marian Message".

This, of course, does not surprise us. We do not always know the details of what is taking place in the physical world even though we may be fully aware of the situation (s) through the Grace of God. When He sees fit, then He send the physical confirmation of what He has granted m de P through spiritual means.

Once again we suggest that our readers carefully review the Sequence of Events Leading to the End of These Times - most specially Steps No. 1 and 2 and look around the world today... think... and then pray!

Regarding the upcoming U.S. elections... Messrs. Bush and Kerry can campaign all they want and promise the voters the moon but, ultimately, God Will decide it strictly based on the level of volume to which the megaphone He uses for the deaf to hear must be set at.

NEWS - Council code of Coventry City has been amended to take out direct reference to the Freemasons and Roman Catholic societies Opus Dei and the Catenians.

Relevant Quotes

The code of conduct for Coventry City Council staff has been amended to take out direct reference to the Freemasons and Roman Catholic societies Opus Dei and the Catenians.

They deleted overt references to Freemasons, Opus Dei and the Catenians. But they made it clear staff who were members of them should still declare it, because the groups were covered by the new wording.


The new ruling reads:




The M+G+R Foundation Comments

If perhaps we had that kind of code of conduct in place in the FBI, Louis Freeh's protégé, Robert Philip Hansen, would not have delivered our National Security into the hands of those who will come back to finish the job they could not finish under their past guise.

Where there is smoke, there is certainly fire to be discovered. Coventry City has been wise enough to install such virtual "Fire Extinguishers".

Of course - if a group is functioning within the civil and ecclesiastical laws, rules and norms which are in place... why is the secrecy needed?
