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 - New Pope Book Says Communism Was 'Necessary Evil'

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - October 7, 2004 - Communism was a "necessary evil" that God allowed to happen in the 20th century in order to create opportunities for good after its demise, Pope John Paul says in his new book.

"Memory and Identity," which is due to be published early next year, is the ailing 84-year-old pontiff's latest and perhaps last book intended for a mass circulation audience.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

As we have said before, if we were in charge of coaching The Vatican and the White House in order that the Steps Leading to the End of These Times were fulfilled just as miguel de Portugal published them in 1992, we simply could not do any better than they are.

Before we devote a complete document to this new farce from the handlers of H.H. John Paul II, we recommend the Faithful who wants to learn to discern the wheat from the chaff to review our exhaustive documentation and exposé of an earlier book farce staged by the same handlers. The opening document of said exposé leads to a letter written to the official Spokesman for H.H. John Paul II, a doctor in psychiatry and Opus Dei Supernumerary Joaquín Navarro Valls, whose first published book was precisely on psychological manipulation of the masses.

NEWS - Putin Offers Hand to Bush in U.S. Election

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan (Reuters) - October 18, 2004 - Russian President Vladimir Putin, siding with President Bush two weeks before the U.S. election, said Monday that armed attacks in Iraq were staged by "international terrorism" out to block his re-election.

"The attacks of international terrorism in Iraq are directed not only at international coalition forces but at President Bush personally," said Putin, speaking in the Tajik capital. "International terrorism has given itself the goal of causing maximum damage to Bush in the election battle, the goal of blocking the re-election of Bush for a second presidential term," he told a news conference.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

We thank Mr. Putin for confirming for us, and those who listen to us, Russia's involvement in Step No. 1 of the Sequence of Events. Something that has been in the works for some time now and that we have tried to point out before. As we have said before, even satan must serve God, the Living and Almighty God whom we strive to serve!

May those who have eyes, "See"; and those who have ears, "Hear" so that their suffering is minimized as the world plunges into the abyss before its resurrection at The End of These Times.

NEWS - Claimed Pro-Life or Alleged Pro-Death - That seems to be "The Issue"

EVERY CITY (USA) - Election Year 2004 - Now that has been proven without a shadow of a doubt that the reason for the invasion and destruction of Iraq never existed beyond 1990, it seems that the centerpiece of the U.S. Presidential Campaign is the issue of "Holiness".


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

As we have stated many times, political activism is not part of the function of The M+G+R Foundation. miguel de Portugal's position is, of course, the same, - except when politicians start using and abusing the Holy Name of God or when the fattened Shepherds, more interested in their survival and the survival of their very worldly institutions, enter the fray to manipulate the faithful to suit their very temporal needs.

It seems that the central theme of the upcoming U.S. Presidential elections has become the claimed Pro-Life and the alleged Pro-Death stance of the candidates in question. Data and statistics talk louder than demagoguery. Therefore, since the only data that we had about the claimed Pro-Life camp was: (1) Record "legal" executions in Texas; and (2) the Middle East drowning in the daily bloodbath of the children of the U.S. and the Middle Eastern countries - including Israel, we requested from the appropriate parties if there were any abortion statistics for the last 10 to 14 years. We thought that perhaps, in spite of the bloodbath of innocent children of God in the Middle East, the claimed Pro-Life candidate had done more to protect the life of the unborn than just issue meaningless and toothless directives.

One of our readers just forwarded to us an article that provides such statistics. Our reader, utilizing segments of the article, answered our questions. Now, we, in turn share such information with those who are truly seeking the truth. If you have better concrete statistics that would disprove the above, please forward them to us. If they merit publication, they will be given "equal time". Please refrain from giving your opinions on this matter or providing hearsay data - communications of that nature will be deleted without further ado.

The Statistics Received

I look at the fruits of political policies more than words. I analyzed the data on abortion during the George W. Bush presidency. There is no single source for this information - federal reports go only to 2000, and many states do not report - but I found enough data to identify trends. My findings are counterintuitive and disturbing. Abortion was decreasing. When President Bush took office, the nation's abortion rates were at a 24-year low, after a 17.4% decline during the 1990s. This was an average decrease of 1.7% per year, mostly during the latter part of the decade. (This data comes from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life using the Guttmacher Institute's studies).

When George W. Bush assumes the leadership of the United States in 2001, one would expect the abortion rate to continue its consistent course downward, if not plunge if we judge by the level of pro-life rhetoric. Instead, the opposite happened. I found three states that have posted multi-year statistics through 2003, and abortion rates have risen in all three:


I found 13 additional states that reported statistics for 2001 and 2002.


Under President Bush, the decade-long trend of declining abortion rates appears to have reversed. Given the trends of the 1990s, 52,000 more abortions occurred in the United States in 2002 than would have been expected before this change of direction.

From the article we may also be able to discern some "non religious" contributing factors:


Economic policy and abortion are not separate issues; they form one moral imperative. Rhetoric is hollow, without health care, health insurance, jobs, child care, and a living wage. Pro-life in deed, not merely in word, means we need policies that provide jobs and health insurance and support for prospective mothers."

October 13th - 87th Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Fátima, Portugal


NEWS - Group of Bishops Using Influence to Oppose Kerry

DENVER (New York Times) - October 9, 2004 - For Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, the highest-ranking Roman Catholic prelate in Colorado, there is only one way for a faithful Catholic to vote in this presidential election, for President Bush and against Senator John Kerry.

"The church says abortion is a foundational issue,'' the archbishop explained to a group of Catholic college students gathered in a sports bar here in this swing state on Friday night. He stopped short of telling them whom to vote for, but he reminded them of Mr. Kerry's support for abortion rights. And he pointed out the potential impact his re-election could have on Roe v. Wade.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

Archbishop Chaput, a friend and an obvious collaborator of Opus Dei, by his actions, continues to insist, like Escrivá did, that temporal power is greater than spiritual power. This has been the hallmark of certain key Administrators of the Roman Catholic Church since they fraudulently claimed that Emperor Constantine had Willed the Roman Empire to it.

From then on, it has been downhill for the world and for the Catholic Faithful who have placed their trust in those whom they thought "knew best" instead of trusting the Pristine Catholic Faith delivered through, and in spite of, said Church.

Oh, yes - Archbishop Chaput and others are most certainly the descendants of the original Apostles... but let no one forget that Judas Iscariot was also an Apostle appointed by Jesus Christ Himself!

Where do we find Jesus Christ - Who came down from Heaven to give us a visible example of how we were to live our lives since the religious leaders had persistently turned a deaf ear to all prophets sent before - engaging in political activism? The Roman Empire was crushing His people and they had a terrible "human rights violation record", yet, did He lead a political revolt against the political oppressor of His people? No! Who was the one who, according to historical experts and biblical implications, was hoping that Jesus would lead a revolution against the Roman Empire? Judas Iscariot!

We ask you then: Would you cast your vote for Archbishop Chaput and associates or for Jesus Christ?

Brethren, this is not about politics... this is about leading the unsuspecting faithful down the Primrose Path to hell.

NEWS - Warsaw's mayor battles sex industry over "World sex championships"

WARSAW (AFP) - October 8, 2004 - Warsaw's right-wing mayor has become embroiled in another battle with the flourishing sex industry in deeply Catholic Poland by attempting to ban a highly-publicized "world sex championships."

The organisers of an erotic fair in the Polish capital said Thursday they would defy an order from the mayor's office and go ahead and stage a "test" for the woman who can carry out a sex act with as many men as possible.

The hosts of the four-day "Eroticon" festival, taking place for the fifth year running, would not reveal time or place for the competition, but promised to beat the world sex record.


The M+G+R Foundation Comments

This is another example of the fruits of the "freedom" and "democratization" of Poland - the birth place of H.H. John Paul II - and a 90 % Catholic country. This is the result of the much touted fall of the "evil empire" and what many have dared to call the "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary"!

Wake up people! This is precisely what the Islamic world is determined to prevent happening in their countries. Unfortunately, the World Masters and the apparent mindless zombies who blindly follow them will only understand this when the world is completely awash in its own blood.

As we have said before and say again: If this is what it will take for man to pay attention to God and return the right path, He Will allow it. It will not be the first time... but it will certainly be the last time!

NEWS - The Vatican Shows its anti-Russian, Aanti-American and anti-Semitic hand

ROMA - Italia (L'Espresso online) - September, 2004

A political editorials published on September 5 in "Avvenire" [the newspaper, directed by Dino Boffo, that is owned by the Italian bishops' conference, headed by the pope's vicar, Cardinal Camillo Ruini] and penned by Maurizio Blondet, a special correspondent and a columnist of the newspaper, let the anti-Russian and anti-Semitism that pervades much of the higher echelons of the Vatican seep through like some poisonous venom.

Blondet begins by charging Putin with this fault:


But then he extends the criticism to the West. And in particular, to the heads of the United States and Israel:



The M+G+R Foundation Comments

It goes to show that: (1) anti-Semitsm is still a much-denied reality at the Vatican; and (2) Rome "hates competition" when it comes to exploiting the collective mind of the frightened faithful - like the recent threats of excommunication of voters depending on their choice of candidate.
