does not automatically imply
that The M+G+R Foundation agrees with all of its contents and/or conclusions.
For news visitors who are not familiar with our positions we suggest a review of the three NOTES
at the end of this document.
[Memorial of the First Martyrs of the Church of
Rome]
Today’s equivalent to the martyrs of Rome
Do you know who... are today’s equivalent to the martyrs of Rome?
As the reader may remember, after Nero set parts of Rome on fire to carry out his agenda
(rebuilding the area in accordance to his plans), he had to find scapegoats to blame for the fire.
Christians were chosen to be the ones to pin the blame on.
Today, the story is not much different, except the martyrs come from every corner of the world and from both sides of today’s wars.
A war on terror was invented and engineered in order to assume control of the Middle East. Today’s martyrs are our children, forced to fight and die in a manufactured war (like the manufactured fire in Nero’s Rome), as well as the innocent civilians from the “enemy” countries who are paying dearly for it.
It is interesting that certain scholars claim that the number 666 —the number of the beast— was the numerical equivalent of the emperor’s name – Nero. Obviously, nothing has changed regarding who is in charge nor what the outcome will be.

Do you remember what Jesus said... about precisely These Times?
Providentially it is found on today’s Mass (Memorial of the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome) Gospel reading:
[our underscoring]
Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the
Christ’, and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that
you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various
places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.[Matthew 24]

Today’s world —on a global scale— could not be described more accurately.

[Solemnity of Sts.
Peter and Paul]
Josef Mengele identified himself as a Catholic
Did you know that... according to Robert Jay Lifton, Josef Mengele —one of Hitler’s leading killer-physicians in Auschwitz— identified himself as a Catholic?
“What we know about the thirty-two-year-old man who arrived in Auschwitz on 30 May 1943 is not
especially remarkable. He was the second son of a well-to-do Bavarian industrialist – not from
an ‘old’ German family but from one that could be considered nouveau riche. The family
is described as ‘strict Catholic’, and Mengele identified himself as a Catholic on all his
official forms, rather than using the more favored Nazi category ‘believer in God’.”

17, “Dr. Auschwitz: Josef Mengele”
The M+G+R Foundation comments: As we have said many times, being “enrolled” in the Catholic Church means little except for statistical purposes; what only matters is the sincere effort to live the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico
Are you aware that... it could be that the “oily” part of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico may be a minor component of a much serious problem of chemical pollution?
Two news communications (1) from the International Medical Veritas Association plus a very graphic video (2) of bubbling sea water in the beaches around Pensacola, Florida, highlight this very serious problem well.
m de P’s comments to this situation as follows:
Just from the general angle/approach of the International Medical Veritas Association and
the petrochemical realities “which flow in my veins” – Yes, the problem(s) highlighted is
indeed real and the negative consequences are and will be many.
The question is: Is this the invoice presented by God to the US for what we (Union Carbide) did in Bhopal, India?(3)
Actually, we do know that answer, and the answer is: Yes.
If we then look into the mirror of the consequences Union Carbide brought upon those poor people, we will see our own future image.
That is why we say: Prayer is the only thing left for humanity – nothing else.

Belgian police raided the offices of the Catholic church investigating clerical sex
abuse
Were you aware that... on June 24, police raided the offices of a panel appointed by the Catholic church to investigate clerical sex abuse in Belgium? (1)
The police detained nine bishops and staff for several hours, seized documents and computers from
the Belgian archbishop’s office and opened a prelate’s crypt in a cathedral.
“It is now up to (Belgian) bishops to care for victims and follow-up their complaints”, the panel said in a statement.
Danneels resigned in January after victims said he had not responded to their complaints.
The Catholic panel had been in existence for over a decade, but for most of that time, it dealt with only 30 complaints and took no discernible action on them.

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
From what we can read, the situation must of great gravity since such action has not been seen since the communist persecutions of the Church. Belgium would not act in such a manner unless it was standing on very solid ground.
As a matter of curious coincidence, back in 1997 the Opus Dei was labeled a Sect by a Belgian Parliamentary Commission.

Disoriented view from a Catholic about Rome
From yet another (Mr.) I(nitials) W(ithheld) @ US
The letter from (Mr.) IW dated June 26th (see below) made me think of a fundraising letter received from the Pontifical North American College, dated May 2010. It begins with this quote from a recent graduate:
“Being in Rome makes one proud to be a Catholic. In a city filled with consecrated religious,
priests, and pilgrims, there’s a sense that everyone there is seeking to deepen their
relationship with the Lord” –Reverend Shane Deman ’08
The letter continues:
“And I’m sure you also understand the special place Rome holds in our faith, as a place where
our hearts and our very souls can be revitalized like nowhere else. ... Our seminarians are also
blessed to enjoy a special relationship with our Holy Father.”
It ends with this PS (my underscoring):
“Pope Benedict XVI says that a priest absolutely must be a spiritual expert – no one else can fill this priestly role. When our men live and study in Rome, their spiritual life comes alive in ways that can never be matched elsewhere.”
IW
Response:
Thank you for sharing what must be amongst the best confirmation of the letter we published (below) and to which you referred. In your case, the statements “have a face”.
We wonder what Rome this poor disoriented soul was referring to – it could not possibly be the one miguel de Portugal visited twice and reported about in detail (1) – unless, of course, denial (2) “is here to stay”.

The Sun is not producing sunspots in amounts that it should be
From (Mr.) WS @ US
In the June 22nd Health and Science Section of the Washington Post we are told that the Sun is not
producing sunspots in amounts that it should be. The 11 year cycle of sunspot activity began to
die down in 2007. But an expected rise in sunspot activity has not occurred and some scientists
are wondering if we are about to witness what occurred between 1645 and 1715 AD, known as the
Little Ice Age when there were colder than average winters.
In the past, high activity has had a warming influence. One sidelight is that during these periods ice core samples and tree rings show increase in certain isotopes. For example, during the Little Ice Age wood was denser because the tree rings were closer together. Of note, the famous Stradivarius violins were made during this time.
Another article in the same section states that scientists found a big drop in the strength of the solar magnetic fields. The fields are said to puncture the Sun’s surface causing sunspots to appear.
Scientists are baffled when things don’t go according to their laws and predictions. The best laid plans of mice and men...
My definition of Science is “the discovery of what is already there.” “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”

Thank you sharing the latest update about geo-astronomical deviations. We recommend a review of a page we have published (1), and periodically update, wherein we identify a number of recent geo-astronomical deviations that are unexplainable by science. These deviations are as significant as the ceasing of the pulsation of the Polar (North) Star, which, incidentally, has long been categorized as a pulsating star.

Anniversary of canonization of Josemaría Escrivá (1)
Did you know that...?
15 When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet (2), standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
16 Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: 17 And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. 19 And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. 20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
21 For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. [Matthew 24]

Disoriented view from a Catholic denying the sexual abuse by Catholic
Priests
From (Mr.) IW @ US
The following comment was noted on an online forum. I have no idea as to whether the poster is a priest or layman. But he most certainly has imbibed both the Leaven of Escriva – and the new ‘company policy’ which Ratzinger has so cleverly stated (in very subtle terms and subliminal language) as the current correct thought. Or should I call this the “New Evangelization”?
“There never was any sexual abuse by Catholic Priests. They are men of God, sworn to
celibacy. Are you really that naive that you think these pious men would risk going to hell for
eternity? As for this equally ridiculous charge of gay sex between adults in the Vatican
(*), it is the work of Satan, manipulating the common people, the
non-believers, the way Satan always does. Until you are a righteous Catholic, you will fall prey
to the deviousness of Satan.”
(*) This is a reference to the gay escort service in the Vatican uncovered earlier
this year by Italian State Police, as well as historical realities of concubines & brothels in
the Vatican.
Although this is the statement/opinion of just one individual whose mental state I cannot ascertain, it symbolizes/summarizes the mentality of those who place the Church Administration above God.
Thus, the conclusions that many of the disoriented faithful, who share the same imaginary view, will reach may be some of the following:
1) “Satan” is now defined as that which is in opposition to and/or critical of the Vatican,
its Administrators and the Pope.
2) Those who do not speak & write such ‘Correct Thinking With the Vatican’ are of Satan.
3) Automatic and implicit ‘Infallibility’ is now applied to each and every one of the ‘radiant new priests’...of the Opus Dei mode which Ratzinger has now held up as the only way to go.
4) Demonic Mind Control is now defined as that which makes men in any way critical of the Vatican and the pope.
5) A Righteous Catholic is now one who unquestioningly thinks as the Administrators of Religion tell him/her to.
6) Reality is now: ‘What we say it is’.
2) Those who do not speak & write such ‘Correct Thinking With the Vatican’ are of Satan.
3) Automatic and implicit ‘Infallibility’ is now applied to each and every one of the ‘radiant new priests’...of the Opus Dei mode which Ratzinger has now held up as the only way to go.
4) Demonic Mind Control is now defined as that which makes men in any way critical of the Vatican and the pope.
5) A Righteous Catholic is now one who unquestioningly thinks as the Administrators of Religion tell him/her to.
6) Reality is now: ‘What we say it is’.
This is obviously from the pit of Hell itself. The chief indicator of the demonic is the principle of Inversion. Not merely a lie; but presenting what is false as truth itself. Presenting ‘bad’ as ‘good’, cloaking it as an angel of light. Black is now White.
The keys to making this work are banking on the principle of Denial (1) and the altered states of memory in many people – both the result of conditioning.
With the right conditions and application of mind control techniques (2), it is possible to make a person not only eat refuse, but to believe it is something else... and that they enjoy it.
The 60s Sci-Fi series, The Outer Limits, contained the following opening narration, which is now very prescient:
“There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are
controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to
make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the
vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or
sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see
and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate
in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner
mind to... The Outer Limits.” (3)
May God help us all!

Material and Spiritual Preparedness – Remember Martha and Maria
From m de P @ EU and US
A dear Family member —concerned about the multiplying catastrophic events worldwide (real or promoted by disinformers)— wrote to us recently. She wonders whether she is doing all that needs to be done in preparation for what already is being manifested throughout the world, and will soon engulf the entire world.
Our answer was straight from God: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her. [Luke 10:41]
What did He mean this time, 2000 years later? Considering that in YouTube alone about 24 hours worth of video is being posted every minute (1). Anyone could easily fall into the “black hole” of internet-published information and neglect what is the “one thing (that) is necessary”: The never ending effort —without fanaticism— to draw closer to God. It is essential to improve one’s sensitivity to the guidance of the Holy Spirit because, without it —and regardless of how many “informational” sites one visits every day— the individual does not have the proverbial prayer.
As we have often repeated: All that anyone needs to know to prepare for what is already being manifested —from schedules to agendas to sequences to physical preparations to key players to what to avoid— has been published by us for quite some time, and is on-line at http://www.mgr.org
One, then, may ask: If you have written about it all, why do you still frequently remind your readers about the earthly events associated with the End of These Times?
Because: (a) obviously we are not getting through to many that “this party is just about over”; and (b) 70 % of the visits to our pages are from first timers.
Unfortunately, the level of denial is frightening.
Why frightening?, you may also ask. Because the more an individual who belongs to the Elect denies reality, the more that individual will have to suffer before the Second Coming of Christ. (Note: only God knows who is among the Elect (2)!)
As far back as in the times of the prophet Zacharias the world had been warned about this suffering:
[our highlights]
8 And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered, and
shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein. 9 And I
will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined:
and I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name,
and I will hear them. I will say: Thou art my people: and they shall say: The Lord is
my God. [Zacharias 13]
Unfortunately, those who should, but do not know His Name, will have to be heavily “refined” —have to suffer much more— until finally His Name is learned [read: established a solid link with God] and then, finally, He will hear them and the painful refining process will be stopped.

Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist – Precursor of Our Lord Jesus
Christ
If there were... only two last messages that we were allowed to remind you of today —more than any other day— they would be:
One
Basis:
24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise
man that built his house upon a rock, 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. [Matthew 7]
26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. [Matthew 7]
Message:
Whatever is not built upon the fundamental Rock —Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God— will be
washed away soon. No substitutes are allowed – none!
Two
Basis:
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth
me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his
life for me, shall find it. [Matthew 10]
Message:
God must be first in our lives – no exceptions. Just as He said – not even parents or
children may come before God. Believe me, those words were not added to the Gospel by some
fanatical Scribe or copyist – they accurately express the Will of God. Should you doubt us –
“ask” Abraham [Genesis 22:2-13].
Do keep in mind, however, that God will never ask us to do anything against Divine or Civil Law; He may allow satan to test us but He will not allow us to be tested beyond our strength. Then, one may ask: “Why didn’t Abraham question the command of God to sacrifice his son?” To which we would answer: “Because the ‘Thou shalt not kill’ command was officially established (again (1)) through the Ten Commandments given by God through Moses – about 380 years later (according to Ussher).”
If you have not reached this point yet in your Faith Journey, we entreat you to unceasingly pray to God so that He may grant you the Grace to accept and live them.

(1) From the beginning, —just as the divorce law [Matthew 19:8]— taking another
human’s life was strictly forbidden and carried a very high Divine penalty even if it was done
as punishment for murder – “...but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold.
And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.” [Genesis
4:15]

Opium addiction in Afghanistan
Do you know what is... the current price of imposed “democracy”? Take a look...
Drug addicts are as young as a month old in Afghanistan. Mothers calm their children by blowing
opium smoke in their faces. Whole communities are hooked on heroin with few opportunities for
treatment.
Use of opiates such as heroin and opium has doubled in Afghanistan in the last five years, the U.N. said Monday, as hundreds of thousands of Afghans turn to drugs to escape the misery of poverty and war.
Nearly 3 percent of Afghans aged 15 to 64 are addicted to opiates, according to a study by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. The U.N. defines addicts as regular users.
That puts Afghanistan, along with Russia and Iran, as the top three countries for opiate drug use worldwide, according to Sarah Waller, an official of the U.N.’s drug office in Kabul. She said a 2005 survey found about 1.4 percent of Afghan adults were opiate addicts. (1)

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
The poor taxpayers may be “bamboozled” into paying for these imposed “democracies” while the Media convinces the West of its great merits. The only one Who does not get “bamboozled” is the Only One Who will dispense Divine Justice in accordance to the crimes against His Creation.
Let this be one more reminder to those who will dare to raise their voices asking “Where was God?” when Divine Justice is dispensed in full, for their share of the payment will be multiplied by a hundred.

Trial of terrorist Faisal Shahzad
We will be more apt to believe... that there really is an Easter Bunny than to believe the off-Broadway play woven around the terrorist-of-the-day Faisal Shahzad.
[our highlighting]
Admitted terrorist Faisal Shahzad was so eager to tell how he plotted to kill Americans in
Times Square, he went to court with a prepared statement.
U.S. District Judge Miriam Cedarbaum refused to hear him read it Monday, instead challenging the Pakistan-born American citizen to just say “what happened”.
In an unapologetic, matter-of-fact courtroom colloquy that followed, Shahzad offered chilling details about how he trained with the Pakistani Taliban to build bombs, then returned to the U.S. to launch an attack that would avenge attacks on Muslims by U.S. forces overseas.
Authorities say following his capture, Shahzad voluntarily started talking about the botched bombing right away — a pattern that continued in open court, where he agreed to plead guilty to 10 terrorism and weapons counts without the benefit of a plea deal and with certainty he’d face life in prison.
“I want to plead guilty, and I’m going to plead guilty 100 times over”, he said.
Until U.S. forces leave Muslim territory, he added, “we will be attacking U.S.” (1)

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
As we stated right after it occurred – this is nothing more than a ruse (2) to implement more “safeguards” to make the US citizens and the world “safer”.
Let’s review some of the terms of the possible “contract” offered to him: (a) Quick and highly publicized trial; (b) No death penalty; (c) Serve some time in an obscure US detainment center – isolated, of course; (d) Then vanish —like the airplane that allegedly hit the Pentagon— with a wad of cash, a new identity, and residency in a country somewhere in the Middle East.
Let us review what that “contract” may turn into: (a) Some outraged and unbalanced individual (a Jack Ruby) shoots him (like Lee Oswald was shot) in court or in the way to court or to jail; or (b) He develops a cluster of brain tumors like Jack Ruby did in jail, and dies of natural causes; or (c) He commits (involuntary) suicide; etc.
Let us review what the continuing reminder of this threat “we will be attacking U.S.” will do for us: the authorities can dust off and resurrect the Patriot Act – Part II (3)

Gen. McChrystal interviews with Rolling Stone Magazine
Anyone who may believe that... Gen. McChrystal simply made a thoughtless —read: plain stupid— mistake by allowing an extensive series of interviews with Rolling Stone Magazine needs to think about this some more.
According the European press’ version, we conclude that Gen. McChrystal’s remarks were as
damaging to the US civil leadership as they could have possibly been. However, they were even
more damaging to the rank and file armed forces – individuals who are already stressed to
the limit risking everything for what appears to be an already lost war.
Exactly who is the audience of a magazine like Rolling Stones? The young set.
What man or woman of the stature and position of McChrystal would give an interview on any serious subject matter to a magazine like Rolling Stones?
Only an individual seriously bent on harming the US leadership at its most tender spot: The young men and women who give their all to fulfill whatever the political leaders deem appropriate.
This was not a mistake and McChrystal should be tried for high treason.
As a reminder of our non-political stance do take note: Our position would be identical regardless of who would be the occupant of the White House at the time.

A community of power – The proposal of President Woodrow Wilson
Did you know that...
... in January 1917, before the US entered World War I, President Woodrow Wilson (1) asked:
“Is the present a struggle for a just and secure peace or only for a new balance of power?

Trumpets and the World Cup – Another sing from Heaven?
Did you know that... among the many things we cannot complain to God about is the fact that He gives ample warnings through a multitude of channels, yet most of these warnings fall on deaf ears?
As of late —in posts dated June 11th and 12th (1)— we have brought to the attention of our readers the Trumpet blowing Angels of Revelations 8 and how it is not very difficult to match St. John’s prophecies to what is taking place in the world right now.
As you must know —unless you live in far away Galaxy— right now the world’s attention is focused in the South Africa World Cup. Even if one is not interested in sports, there is no escape from hearing something about it – even as one dashes to turn off or change the news channel.
During this World Cup, the one thing that is most universally talked (or complained) about is the almost non-stop sound of the South African vuvuzela – a long plastic trumpet. (2a) (2b)
Do we need to make the connection for you? Even its shape is very similar to the one used by most religious artists over the centuries.

A priest proposes to replace the Missal book for an iPad
Did you know that...
... an Italian priest has developed an application that will let priests celebrate Mass with an iPad on the altar instead of the regular Roman missal? (1)
[our highlighting]
The Rev. Paolo Padrini, a consultant with the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social
Communications, said Friday the free application will be launched in July in English, French,
Spanish, Italian and Latin.
Padrini, 36, said he expected priests who have to travel a lot for work would find the application most useful, noting that he recently had to celebrate Mass in a small parish where the missal was “a small book, a bit dirty, old”.
“If I had had my iPad with me, it would’ve been better than this old, tiny book”, he said.
Pope Benedict XVI, a classical music lover who was reportedly given an iPod in 2006, has sought to reach out to young people through new media: the Vatican has a regularly updated presence on You Tube and Facebook. Based on the success of the iBreviary, Padrini was recruited by the Vatican to oversee its youth outreach program in the new media.

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
A real tragedy. All they have to do is look into what Don Bosco did in fiercely anticlerical, 19th century Italy to achieve what was probably the most successful Evangelization effort since the Church went Imperial. (3)
They really think that electronics will help accomplish what they have failed to do for 1600 years. Only its crucifixion, death, and then, Resurrection will get the Church where it should be. (4)

Social condition of today’s world – Sex slavery and Child Pornography
Do you know what lies behind... the chrome plated, Hollywoodized, every-day-more-democratic world?
According to a report recently released by the UN and covered by a Spanish newspaper (1) ...
* Europe receives 70,000 sex slaves every year yielding a profit of 2,700 million US dollars
* Worldwide identity theft via Internet yields a tidy profit of 1,000 million US dollars a year
* Human smuggling yields 6,600 million US dollars a year
* Child pornography generates, on a worldwide scale, 250 million dollars in profit, and 50,000 new pictures every year.

George Orwell’s novel “1984”
From (Mr.) WS @ US
George Orwell’s novel “1984” has much to say to us today. 26 years after the real 1984, we seem closer to the simulated reality of the book. Here are excerpts that are pertinent. Just like the State of Israel was created by man not God, the New World Order presses on inexorably to fruition. Another day another Babel!
War (For the Masses) is Peace (for the Elite)
Freedom (for the Elite) is Slavery (For the Masses)
Ignorance (For the Masses) is Strength (for the Elite)
From “1984” by George Orwell
“The war is merely an imposture. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is... to keep the structure of society intact. The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.”
“An all around increase in wealth threatened the destruction of a hierarchical society. If leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings... would become literate and would learn to think for themselves. They would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
“All the beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to... prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived. If the ‘High’ are to keep their places permanently, then the prevailing mental condition must be controlled insanity.”

Plans for the inspection of Iranian ships and planes – A warning through
China
Did you know that... Iran’s Majlis (Parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani warned the West (and certain other countries) of retaliation by Iran if they try to inspect Iranian planes and ships following last week’s UN Security Council sanctions resolution against Tehran? (1)
“I am warning the U.S. and certain adventurous countries that in case they plan to inspect the
cargo of Iranian ships and planes, they should rest assured that we will do the same in the
Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman (with their ships)”, Larijani was quoted as saying.

The alleged threat of Iranian’s missiles aiming at Europe – According to the

Did you know that...
... the US Secretary of Defense claims that Iran could fire ‘hundreds’ of missiles at Europe? (2)
US intelligence has shown Iran could launch an attack against Europe with “scores or hundreds”
of missiles, prompting major changes to US missile defenses, Pentagon chief Robert Gates said on
Thursday.
President Barack Obama in September cited a mounting danger from Iran’s arsenal of short and medium-range missiles when he announced an overhaul of US missile defense plans.

Relying more on public relations than in prayer – A practice implied by an Opus Dei
man
It seems that... Jack Valero —the “Opus Dei man” in Great Britain— like most of them, relies more on public relations than in prayer and the Sacraments.
[our highlights]
“We are working for the Church and part of the Church, but in a sense independent of
it,” said Jack Valero, a coordinator of the project along with journalist Austen
Ivereigh and broadcaster Kathleen Griffin. “We realized that it is laypeople who should be the
experts here. We had the idea of creating a team of people who would be prepared to be trained to
speak up in the media, and we put out a call for volunteers. We wondered how many would come
forward, but we found huge numbers — they just kept on coming forward, and in the end, we had to
close the doors because we had so many.” The call for volunteers was for Catholics between the
ages of 20 and 40.
“We found that several came from the movements — Opus Dei, the Neocatechumenate (the Neocatechumenal Way), Communion and Liberation, and so on — but there are also a good many young people who are simply practicing their faith, living it out, active in their own local parishes and keen to speak up,” said Valero. “I didn’t have so much faith that we’d find so many; I thought we’d have to dig deep. But we were almost overwhelmed by the numbers.”
As a director of Opus Dei in Britain, Valero is no stranger to controversy.

This is how Opus Dei personnel draw from other groups (and from trusting non-aligned Catholics), and harness them to carry out different facets of the Opus Dei agenda.
Let us not forget what the True Way (2) —Jesus Christ— taught us:
11 And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not
solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say; 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach
you in the same hour what you must say.

Historical role of British Petroleum in the suffering of the people of the
US
From (Mr.) LP @ US

1. Israel builds up Hamas as an alternative to secular/Marxist Palestinian radicalism.
2. The US sets up Osama in Afghanistan to fight the USSR, and begets al-Qaeda.
2. The US sets up Osama in Afghanistan to fight the USSR, and begets al-Qaeda.
Now, there seems to be a third item to add ...
3. The fundamentalist Saudi regime was installed as a result of British imperial and oil interest
maneuvers ... maneuvers that favored the radical, Wahhabi Saudis over the moderate Hashemites.
(2)
Does this mean that we have British Petroleum to thank for (a) wrecking the Gulf, and (b) giving Islamist radicalism a financial and political start, more than 70 years ago?
LP
Response:
We have reviewed excerpts from Diplomacy by Deception (2), by ex-British intelligence officer D. John Coleman. What he says is coherent with how diplomacy has worked since satan invented it and sold it as the civilized way to settle disputes amongst countries. Frankly, it seems that the world – and specifically, the people of the US – owes a great deal of its suffering to BP.
As we were quoting on the 17th...
“[T]he majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth
but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that
people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own
lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.”–

The incoherence in the search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence
Do you wonder... whether (a) members of the project SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) (1), [those who have been spending enormous amounts of time and public money in trying to receive a message from distant extra-terrestrials], and (b) those individuals and governments who participate in the never ending discussions, research projects, publications and classification of documents about UFO sightings ever compare notes?
How in the world is it, if those UFO’s in your local backyard are real and, obviously, have Extra Terrestrial Intelligence in them, that the SETI project does not seem to be able to tune into their frequency?

A monument to Ecclesiastical Freemasonry in St.Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC
From (Mr.) IW @ US
Every time New York City (NYC) Archbishop Timothy Dolan offers mass from the high altar of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC, he cannot help but see a monument to... Ecclesiastical Freemasonry. (1)
No, not the organ – the Rose Window above it. It is a memorial to Clendenin J. Ryan, Jr. (2)
Where is the connection? one may ask... Mr. Ryan was grandson of multi-millionaire industrialist and Catholic philanthropist, Thomas Fortune Ryan. The Ryan family was ‘very important’ (financially) to five NYC Archbishops, funding many of their building projects.
“Ryan was deeply committed as a financial backer of numerous schemes involving foreign intrigue
bordering on violating the Neutrality Act with another spy master and former Office of Strategic
Services (OSS) Colonel by the name of Ulius L. ‘Pete’ Amoss who ran the Baltimore, MD based
International Services of Information, Inc. (ISI) and GramTrade International which was later
merged into the Boston Metals Processing Company of Baltimore, identified as a Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) commercial cover proprietary by Robert Maxwell of Iran-Contra
fame...
(Amoss) also delved into methods of programming paid assassins to do his bidding overseas and he worked very closely with Major Carleton S. Coon, an anthropologist, OSS member and an Egyptologist on this project which eventually was merged into the MK/ULTRA operations of James J. Angleton and Ray S. Cline of the CIA...”

Coon, an anthropologist, OSS member and an Egyptologist on this project which eventually was merged into the MK/ULTRA operations of James J. Angleton and Ray S. Cline of the CIA...”
Ryan was married twice; he married his first wife, Countess Marie-Anne Wurmbrand-Stuppach of Vienna, Austria in 1934, their marriage was annulled in 1935, and in 1937, he married his second wife, Jean Harder of NY. Harder had the unfortunate task of having to pay the balance of the donation for the Rose Window which Ryan had promised to his very close friend (and fellow Sen. McCarthy enthusiast), Cardinal Francis Spellman. Ryan committed suicide in 1957, just as his father had done.
An often unnoticed plaque denoting the memorial window caught my eye, so I looked him up. Now I am sorry I did
IW
Response:
Thank you for sharing another confirmation of the reality that most everyone wishes to deny. It was precisely yesterday when we read the following —and very related— quote:
“[T]he majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth
but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that
people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own
lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.”–
Harold Pinter, Nobel Laureate (Literature), 2005
Which made us realize what causes “denial”: Most humans refuse to acknowledge the truth because the truth is brutal.
Of course, the problem is that “refusing to acknowledge” does not cause it to “go away”. On the contrary – whatever we ignore will only fester and will yield worse results as it overtakes and suffocates everything, just as unchecked weeds do.

What happened to the plane that allegedly hit The Pentagon?
From (Mr.) LP @ US
Regarding the 9/11 conspiracy [Post of June 14th (1)]...
As with the Kennedy assassinations, I never researched it in detail myself. I can easily believe that there are conspiracies associated with all these events, plots involving high level, well established Powers. And I easily believe that the official explanations are propaganda.
Beyond that, I never investigated ... I have had my hands full with other things to investigate and write about. It follows that I have not investigated the specific claim of the airplane which allegedly hit The Pentagon either.
However, my question is what happened to the plane and its passengers, in this case?
I do think it is interesting that one of the passengers was Barbara Olson, a right-wing radio personality, and that (as with several other passengers) she was able to make a cell phone call to her husband to tell him of the hijacking.
Nevertheless, based on what I see in a Wikipedia report I am skeptical of the no-plane theory as part of the unrevealed truth about 9/11.
LP
Response:
Greater and more complex cover ups have been made – therefore neither the alleged cell phone calls nor the Wiki report, on their own, can prove the existence of said plane.
We had not given a second thought to the Pentagon alleged hit because it did not matter – since it would fall under the overall “allowed to happen” terrorist plot. What galvanized us was seeing the video (which was not even purchased for itself, it was part of a close-out package containing two other videos of interest – Inside The Vatican and Inside The Mecca). Since we had it – we eventually viewed it to see how badly it would breach security by showing too much of the Pentagon. The Pentagon “attack” footage came as a surprise since we did not know it was part of the documentary.
Unless my eyes —and the eyes of others who have viewed it— deceived me, we would tend to place more weight on the plane-less images viewed.

A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ, struck by lightning
Did you know that... a six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground? (1)
The “King of Kings” statue, one of southwest Ohio’s most familiar landmarks, had stood since
2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of
Cincinnati.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.

The remains have become so fragile that officials at Rome’s Basilica of St. Mary Major
(3), where the crib is located, decided to suspend this year’s annual
Christmas Eve tradition when the relics are carried from the crypt beneath the main altar in a
procession around the basilica and displayed in front of the altar all Christmas Day.
Two of the five wooden slats are showing signs of “troublesome deterioration”, Msgr. Emilio Silvestrini, a priest at the basilica, told the Italian Catholic daily Avvenire. He said Dec. 28 that “for years” they had noticed the crib’s fragile condition had worsened.

The Justice Department and preparedness for Terrorist Attacks
Did you know that...the inspector general of the Justice Department issued a report in late May saying that the department is not prepared to ensure public safety in the days or weeks after a terrorist attack in which nuclear, biological or chemical weapons are used? (1)
The Department of Homeland Security is designated as first federal responder in the event of a WMD
attack, but every agency in government has a formal, assigned role. The crucial job of Justice is
to manage and coordinate law enforcement and step in if state and local authorities are
overwhelmed.
The inspector general’s staff interviewed 36 senior officials involved in the department’s emergency response planning and summarized the finding: “It was clear that no person or entity is managing the overall Department’s response activities.” You could almost see them scratching their heads and saying, “No one’s in charge here.”

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
What really is disturbing to us —from our vantage point (some incoming letters, type of traffic in domains and documents of interest)— is the number of those out there who think themselves spiritually ready, yet, they are not even close to where they should be.
We praise God for the letter of Ms. MV, published on the 13th (2), which we pray and hope served as a wake up call for those who are not spiritually ready to face what is already engulfing us, yet think that they are ready.
As we have said many times: We can only lead the horse to water but it is up to the horse to drink it.
While it is very painful to us to witness that, there is nothing else we believe that we can do beyond what we are doing now. But... if anyone out there feels that there is something else that we could/should do, speak up! Remember – the illumination by the Holy Spirit is not a gift for a very selected few; it was, and is, a gift for all.

Veiled references from Jesus to the pre-Abrahamic period, Time and Eternity
Do you ever wonder... what Jesus meant when He stated “...from the beginning...” in the following verses:
6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
no man put asunder. 7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and
to put away? 8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart
permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
[Matthew 19:6-8]
Obviously Jesus was speaking of the pre-Abrahamic period which was covered in the Creation Timeline. (1)
A reality that He reminded us through John 8:
56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews
therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said
to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
[John 8:56-59]
In the above quoted verses He also indicates the reality of the parallel between Time and Eternity (2) through: 56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.

The building #7 collapse in the World Trade Center
From (Mr.) GR @ US
Regarding the building #7 collapse in the World Trade Center (1) –
It’s so obvious what happened – so many people agree we’ve been duped, for example former governor Jesse Ventura.
My question is – Who, how many, and where are all these actual perpetrators now?
Have these men (implementers/technicians/‘special forces’ individuals) been sworn to secrecy – is their fanatic loyalty to their commanders so great?
Are any of them, even just one of them human?
Will every one of them remain dedicatedly and obediently silent until a century would pass or have they already been physically SILENCED by the powers that be... how far reaching is this lie?

Will every one of them remain dedicatedly and obediently silent until a century would pass or have they already been physically SILENCED by the powers that be... how far reaching is this lie?
GR
Response:
How far reaching? you ask. We answer: Beyond most humans’ understanding... but, as our Lord Jesus Christ said:
For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that
which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
[Luke 12:3]
... and this has already started and is reaching its peak. For example...
Yesterday the Daily Beast’s Phil Shenon reported that Pentagon investigators are frantically
searching for Assange, the white-haired and willfully inscrutable founder of WikiLeaks, in the
hopes of stopping him from exposing more than 200,000 classified diplomatic cables: “Pentagon
investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of the Australian-born founder of the
secretive website WikiLeaks for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified
State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security,
government officials tell The Daily Beast.” (2)
When one becomes thoroughly familiar with the assassinations of both Kennedys – not with rumors, but with facts (3) one begins to understand the level of “sworn to secrecy” and/or the “law of fear” that rules.
When one views the National Geographic video Inside The Pentagon (4a) (4b), obviously published almost in haste by National Geographic right after 9-11, a video of which hundreds of thousands of originals must still exist throughout the world, the first and main question that arise is your own: “Have these men (implementers/technicians/‘special forces’ individuals) been sworn to secrecy – is their fanatic loyalty to their commanders so great?”
Right there, in full view – frontal and aerial is the Pentagon building immediately after the attack. Firemen and paramedics scurrying around yet no part of a passenger airplane is seen anywhere. No wings, no engines, nothing! Not only that – the now famous security camera footage showing the “just before impact and impact” images, which was finally extracted from the authorities after years of legal battle, was already in the National Geographic’s video issued in 2002. No passenger plane is seen in that footage either.
Then – either the actual news and security videos are lying or those emergency workers who were present at the scene were brainwashed or sworn to secrecy.
Our document about the Illuminati (5) is not “internet hot air”, as much of the on-line conspiracy theories are. Our document about the implementation of the New World Order (6) is not hot air either. It gives a step by step protocol of all that is being done to establish it – regardless of human cost (after all, their world population target is 2 billion which gives them four billion humans “to spare”).
We simply cannot express it any clearer than we have done already in the past. All we can do is add new confirming information as they surface, but... at this point we must ask: “Is it necessary for us to continue to confirm the fact that the Sun will rise every morning, when every morning the ‘prophecy’ is automatically confirmed?”
Why do “they” get away with it? Because “they” know the power of denial (7) and humans will be on denial until they get slapped on the face with the inescapable and brutal reality.

Reflections from a reader on humility and prayer
From (Ms.) MV @ US
[This is a follow up letter and response for the one published on June 11th]
After carefully reviewing your response to my letter (June 11th post (1)), a few things came to light.
1.) In contemplation of the past 42 months since our last correspondence, It dawned on me (more
like struck me in the face) how arrogant I was believing that I could open others
eyes and ears, to the truth when all the while it was and is truly God that had directed events
not my words or actions. I was also under the assumption that my eyes and ears were opened when in
fact they were not. How foolish I am to think that I have control! My prayers regarding this
matter had indeed been answered however not in the way I had thought they might be. Praise to God

Response:
It was a joy to read your words which are obviously from the heart; words which were, in a special way, sealed by God.
We shall explain...
Once again the timing of your letter and its contents bear His seal – His stamp of inspiration, if you will.
Your letter was written and received on June 11th – the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Gospel reading for the Mass was:
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying: 4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and
if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that
which was lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders,
rejoicing: 6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice
with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? 7 I say to you, that even so there shall be
joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not
penance. [Luke 15:3-7]
As you can see, you have given Heaven —and us, on Earth— a very special joy on that most significant day.
We are sure that your words of acknowledgment and repentance will touch many.
Thank you for taking the time to write and share.

Saudi Arabia has given Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites
Did you know that... Saudi Arabia has given Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites? (1)
Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a
bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.
In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.
To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom’s air defences will return to full alert.

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
O Mary, Virgin and Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, I, as an act of my free
will, consecrate myself today to Thine Immaculate Heart. I consecrate to Thee my very being
—body and soul wretched as they are— as well as the remainder of my life; all that I have, all
that I love, all that I am.
Mindful of this consecration I now promise to imitate Thee by the practice of the Christian virtues in humility but without regard of the opinion of others. I resolve to receive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month, whenever it is possible, as an act of reparation for the many outrages against Thy Immaculate Heart. I will strive to pray five decades of the Rosary every day and offer its merits, together with all my daily sacrifices, in the spirit of penance and reparation.
Dearest Mother, help me fulfill my consecration to Thy Immaculate Heart – true refuge of sinners.
Amen!

“And the second angel sounded the trumpet” [Rev.
8:8]
Are you aware that if we look at... the following quotation from Revelations: 8 And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood: 9 And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed. [Rev. 8:8-9]
... in the light of recent events, we may see some parallels?
For example, first consider the “as it were a great mountain, burning with fire” to be the burning oil rig collapsing into the sea; then, consider “the sea became blood” to be the spilled oil mixed with the toxic dispersant, spreading across the seas.
It does not take much to span from the Revelations prophecy to the current news reports.
Perhaps we should take this apparently coincidental parallel one step further by taking a look of what happened just beforehand, when the first angel sounded his trumpet.
7 And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mingled
with blood, and it was cast on the earth, and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the
third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
[Rev. 8:7]
Hail is ice and flowing lava could be viewed as blood; and, without a doubt, all that was on the earth within a volcano’s reach was certainly burnt. That was the exact scenario presented by the Icelandic volcano which erupted from below a glacier issuing tons upon tons of ice, fire and awesome rivers of lava.
It is interesting to note that the volcano went on its rampage on April 14th closing the European airspace until April 20th... just when, on the same day, the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and collapsed into the sea “...and the third part of the sea became blood”.
Should you be wondering about the next (third) angel and his trumpet...
10 And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning
as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood;
and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
[Rev. 8:10-11]
Given the latitude Biblical prophecies enjoy in their fulfillment, the above prophecy could be fulfilled through one (or various) nuclear device(s) dropped upon targets on this planet or a comet impacting upon Earth or both.
If you are now wondering about Wormwood and its meaning... Click Here and you will see that “Wormwood” will fit either scenario.

Spill of oil in the US Gulf Coast – dead fish are washing up on the shores of Alabama
and Texas
From (Ms.) MV @ US
According to several news sources, dead fish are washing up on the shores of Alabama and Texas. It
has also been said that if the well is not stopped, the oil could reach as far as Europe.
This brings to mind: 8 And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood: 9 And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed. [Rev. 8:8-9]
The “as it were a mountain” being the burning oil rig, the oil is the blood.
At this point in the game I have very little faith in man to fix this or any problem. As you have repeatedly stated the world is in God’s hands, and all we can do is pray.

First – Thank you for answering the call of God.
I think it would help if there were more documents about talking to others about what’s to come and how to prepare themselves and the ones that they love both physically and spiritually.
I myself am having difficulty bringing up the subject of Jesus and God to others, most think it is a joke or nothing to be concerned with at the time. My loved ones, who know me best, will not listen when I explain to them some of the “behind the scenes” things that are going on.
I realize that it may not be according to God’s will at the time, but I certainly want to make sure I am speaking loud and clear. I will continue to pray on this and I know that my prayers will be answered in due time.

We trust that what has transpired in those almost-to-the-day three and a half years has helped you to open the eyes and ears of those around you who are destined to be amongst the Elect (1). That is all that we can hope to accomplish since we do not hold in our hands the salvation of any soul.
Your evaluation of the situation at hand —“all we can do is pray”— is as exact/precise as anything could possibly be; unfortunately we see people who should know better just talk much about it and pray little. Tragically, this will force the Hand of God to continue increasing the “volume of the megaphone”. (2)
We thank you for writing – most specially at this very peculiar time interval: almost-to-the-day three and a half years.
May those who have Eyes, see and Ears, hear. (3)

Biblical Literalism and the Story of David and Goliath
Did you know that... the Sacred Scriptures also tells us that “Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite” after having told us that it was David?
This is a perfect example of how the Scriptures must be approached as we explained in Biblical Literalism Part I and Part II (1).
To wit: In 2 Samuel 21:19 we read: And there was a third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
If were fanatical literalists we would claim that we have been lied to – either here or in story about David. However, applying what we have explained (1) we quickly discover that some copyist/translator got his terms and verb tenses mixed up. It was the brother of Goliath who got killed by Adoedatus.
To wit (our highlights): Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. [1 Chronicles 20:5]
Do you realize how many wars have been fought by fanatical leaders who decided not to check for ancient “typos”?

When someone appointed by God to fulfill a function on His behalf sins
Did you know that...
When God appoints someone to fulfill a function on His behalf, the individual will do so come the proverbial “hell or high water”, without getting off without paying for whatever transgressions he had committed?
Take King David, for example. He committed adultery with Bethsabee and murdered her husband Uriah [2 Kings 11] – two capital sins in less than probably three months. Was David “fired” by God? Of course not; David had to fulfill the plan of God but his family life was a painful cross starting with the death of the offspring resulting from the adultery.
How about Samson? He was created to defeat the Philistines except he had a weakness for Philistine women. No, not only the well known Dalilah... there were a couple of others too. Fast forward... indeed he finished off the Philistines as enemies of Israel by literally crushing them, but his life was far from a bed of roses – eyes gouged out, a slave to the Philistines and finally crushing himself to death with the Philistines. [Judges 13-16]
Moral of the story: If God is playing a Tango, do not dance to a Samba. If you do not know how to Tango – don’t fake it, learn it! Eventually you will like it better than the Samba; it always is better living in accordance with the Will of God.
Seek His Will (1) and His Grace (2) to fulfill whatever purposes He created you for!

Why God allows incomprehensible destructive natural disasters
As we have been saying... Divine Mercy is seldom understood by man.
It has been recently reported (1) that...
=====
Thailand’s sex trade, which pumps millions of dollars into the Thai economy, has taken a big hit since the protests began this spring. Thailand was once paradise for these men—among them fetishists and pedophiles—but the spell has since been broken. No one really wants their exotic intercourse interrupted by machine-gun fire or beer runs inconvenienced by police checkpoints, although some are, of course, willing to live with it if that’s what it takes. Frustrated sex tourists are now being forced to cancel their vacations or wait it out in their cheap rented rooms until the party starts up again.
=====
So now that it’s not, where else is there to go? A man with the username UKmatt on the popular expat (and sexpat) forum thaivisa.com suggests the Phillippines as a viable alternative to Thailand. There, he says, there are “beautiful Hispanic-looking women with big boobs”, but goes on to cite a high crime-rate and bad food as reasons for not going. As for other countries: Sex tourism is not permitted in Laos or Malaysia, and neither Cambodia nor Vietnam has, to my knowledge, ever been referred to as the “Land of Smiles”, as the popular Thailand slogan goes.

The Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and Archbishop Hilarion Capucci (Part 2)
Did you know that... there is more to the involvement of Archbishop Hilarion Capucci (and the Vatican) with the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza than meets the untrained eye?
An opponent of the Iraq War, Archbishop Hilarion Capucci wrote the foreword for the book Neo-Conned! Just War Principles: A Condemnation of War in Iraq, a collection of essays edited by John Sharpe.
“So?” the reader may ask. The answer may be found through the question: Who is Mr. John Sharpe?
In addition to what we indicated in our document True Tradition is Not Fascism (1), according to Wikipedia (2)...
John Forrest Sharpe, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a former submarine officer and media
spokesman for the Atlantic Fleet, is the author and publisher of numerous articles and books on
the economic theory of distributism. He is chairman of the publishing house IHS Press in Virginia;
the vice-chairman is Derek Holland. IHS Press and the Legion of St. Louis (LSL), another
publishing entity run by Sharpe that sells books such as Henry Ford’s The International Jew and
Michael A. Hoffman II’s Strange Gods of Judaism, are on the list of hate groups for the Southern
Poverty Law Center.
On March 7, 2007, John Sharpe was temporarily relieved of duty pending a Navy inquiry into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities.
In 2008, the Catholic University of America canceled a lecture series in which Sharpe was to speak after the Southern Poverty Law Center claimed Sharpe is anti-Semitic, though no review of his written opinion had occurred.
Sharpe later filed suit against Landmark Communications, claiming defamation in a news story. The suit sought $5 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages. In April 2009, Norfolk Circuit Court judge Norman A. Thomas issued his opinion. In it, Thomas grants a summary judgment to the defendants on the major issues of the case, concluding that Sharpe’s writings “do espouse anti-Semitic and racist views... No reasonable person can read Sharpe’s individual writings and conclude that he espouses anything other than a deep, abiding and pervasive suspicion of and hostility toward Jews, whether considered as a collective people, religion, nation or ethnic group.”

The M+G+R Foundation Comments:
Archbishop Hilarion has (a) a record of running weapons to violent Palestinian extremists, and (b) an apparent link to US/European “Catholic” neo-fascists.
The logical question should then be – What makes this man of such value to the Vatican that they interceded to get him out of jail, and that they still provide a residence for him?
This is a question which has been amply answered through our pages in a variety of documents.

The Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and Archbishop Hilarion Capucci (Part 1)
From (Mr.) WO @ US
Regarding Archbishop Hilarion Capucci, a passenger of the flagship of the Freedom Flotilla...
Archbishop Hilarion Capucci has a rather interesting background story:
“One of the flotilla passengers is the former Melkite Greek archbishop of Jerusalem, Father
Hilarion Capucci, who was previously arrested for using his church car service to smuggle
explosives, firearms and katyusha rockets into Israel for the PLO. Capucci was freed after an
appeal from the Vatican.” (1)
and...
“In 1974 he was convicted by an Israeli court of using his diplomatic status to smuggle arms
to the Palestine Liberation Army and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Capucci was among the
prisoners whose release was demanded by the Palestinian hijackers of Air France Flight 139 in
1976. He was released a year later due to intervention by the Vatican. The governments of Iraq,
Libya, Sudan and Syria have honored Capucci with postage stamps.”
(2)
It would seem that the 88 year old Hilarion has a rather peculiar notion of ‘humanitarian aid’; using it as a cover story to intentionally cause an international incident (or worse...).
This obviously was not some innocent pious cleric bringing food and water to the poor.
More to the point – this serves to underscore the fact that the Vatican (along with secular cooperators) are most definitely trying to ‘light the fuse’ from which ever end works best.
Winston Churchill is known for have said, when told of the successful tests of the A-bomb: “The idiot child has the matches now”. I disagree. It is not the ‘idiot child’ who has the matches: it is the ‘wise men’ with doctorates galore, wearing the robes of high and pious office who have ‘the matches’. And are furiously rubbing them together, knowingly.
God Bless You!
WO
Response:
Thank you for your contribution.
This is another example of how the government of Israel mishandled the event. If only 50% of those claims about Archbishop Hilarion are true, all their overworked spokespersons needed to do was to highlight him and his black-and-white record to prove their point that such flotilla had ulterior motives.
Instead, they did everything possible to highlight themselves as a key part of what is now being called the new Axis of Evil (1) while dragging the US with them.
Neither country seems to learn from history – be it Biblical or contemporary (see posting below).
But not to worry – there is enough idiocy to go around as Hamas has just proven since they will not let the humanitarian aid come into Gaza as Israel has been proposing since the International pressure became unbearable.
And people still refuse to believe that it is satan, allowed (and limited) by God, the one who has the full run of the world – which brings us to your comment about “...the ‘wise men’ with doctorates galore, wearing the robes of high and pious office...”. They are as much in the dark as the rest – just another set of puppets on satan’s Final Act. (2)

The Taliban, the Soviets, Hamas and the State of Israel
Did you know that... just as the Taliban was the creation of the US to fight off the Soviets, Hamas was the creation of the State of Israel? (1)
Israel’s experience echoes that of the U.S., which, during the Cold War, looked to Islamists as
a useful ally against communism. Anti-Soviet forces backed by America after Moscow’s 1979
invasion of Afghanistan later mutated into al Qaeda.
Surveying the wreckage of a neighbor’s bungalow hit by a Palestinian rocket, retired Israeli official Avner Cohen traces the missile’s trajectory back to an “enormous, stupid mistake” made 30 years ago.
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation”, says Mr. Cohen, a Tunisian-born Jew who worked in Gaza for more than two decades. Responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel’s destruction.
Instead of trying to curb Gaza’s Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat’s Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas.

An ancient city on the sea floor in the Western Caribbean
Have you heard that... additional archeological information continues to surface (1), once again, confirming the Creation Time Line (2) we proposed in early 2009?
...we believe we have found the remains of an ancient city on the sea floor in the Western
Caribbean. It is important to note that we have yet to be to the site, but what we believe we have
found is the remains of an ancient city that was formerly above sea level, and perhaps as much as
4500-8000 years old. This has nothing to do with another site, found almost 10 years ago by a
Canadian/Russian team working to map the sea floor near the Yucatan Peninsula. Their site is
nearly 2 miles below the sea floor. The site we are working with is much shallower – in between
40 and 70 feet of water.
The location of this site was once above the ocean’s surface. If you look at the topography of the Caribbean sea floor, it is fairly evident that much of the Caribbean island chain was once part of a contiguous land mass. This site generally sits on what would have been a coastal plane.
Some of what we’ve discovered looks similar to early Mayan architecture, so we are leaning towards that as a hypothesis as it is largely unknown where the Maya civilization came from. It is our hope that we might be able to fill in this missing part of the historical record with our research.
Lastly, there is believed to have been a massive meteor in the Atlantic about 11,000 years ago. The resulting tsunami could have contributed to the demise of the city.

British Petroleum and Union Carbide
Do you wonder... which is/was more irresponsible: Britain’s British Petroleum or US’ Union Carbide?
Will the US Gulf Coast residents be treated as the Bhopal residents were (and still are)?

2010 Bilderberg meeting and a new world order
As the latest (last?) Bilderberg meeting is underway... we thought it appropriate to republish a very pertinent post originally published on April 2nd, 2009:
Did you know that... world leaders agreed to a huge raft of spending Thursday to combat the
economic crisis, pledging to lay out five trillion dollars by the end of 2010 as British Prime
Minister Gordon Brown hailed a “new world order”? (1)
The M+G+R Foundation comments:
We have followed the development of this staged event more than we would normally do. It is indeed fascinating how it was staged to fit with other staged events which have been taking place at full speed worldwide since President George W. Bush took office – just eleven days before the document outlining Phase III (2) of what was going to be implemented once the nation was made ready after 9-11.
Now, we see that after the “9-11 of the financial world” took place it was rather simple to get the leaders of twenty key world nations – some of which, just hours before, had “staged” a warning of walking out if Europe “did not get its way”. Only fools can believe that this group would agree on this massive change in less than eight hours when a smaller group – which includes some of the same players – the UN Security Council – cannot even agree on what to do about North Korea, Iran, Israel, Zimbabwe, etc. in month after month of endless haggling.
There must have been an equivalent to the Phase III document to be used as the road map for the “spontaneous” and “selfless” outcome of the G-20 Summit. Even the anti-globalism demonstrations were more subdued than they have ever been. Surprised? Think about it!
As we have repeatedly stated in the past: the world stock markets were manipulated to squeeze out the last cent out of the average investor, and this swindle was completed as the markets finally crashed on a worldwide scale.
After stealing the world population blind through the markets, the remaining step was for “them” to give “ ...a new push to pass free trade rules and the sale of huge gold reserves to help poor countries”. Of course – who in his right mind is going to go against “selling gold to help the poor”? Think about it!
Now the only thing that is missing is the massive military strike to justify the establishment of the already prepared political aspect of the New World Order (3)... and we will not have to wait long for that.
How sad... how terribly sad... but all must take place as scheduled since all mankind has been able to gain (and we sincerely praise God for allowing us to contribute to that) is the compression the period (4) of highest suffering as the entire world, as we know it, collapses. (5)
In spite of what we state above, which we know as a fact, we will be able to sleep well tonight because we have done all that we could possibly do about it with what was placed within our reach by God.
The measures, agreed at a one-day summit in London, would see tax havens named and shamed, new
rules on corporate pay, major reforms to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, a new
push to pass free trade rules and the sale of huge gold reserves to help poor countries.
“A new world order is emerging, and with it we are entering into a new era of international cooperation”, Brown said after hosting a summit which brought together US President Barack Obama and leaders of the established and emerging powers from around the world.
“The issues that people thought divided us did not divide us at all. There was substantial agreement to do whatever is necessary to return to growth”, Brown told a press conference, while warning there are “no quick fixes”, and the G20 would have to meet again this year.
...
Before the summit, the United States and Britain had pushed for bigger stimulus spending while France and Germany had called for the focus to be put on greater regulation of the financial sector.

The “Free Gaza flotilla”
From (Ms.) IW @ US
In response to the “Free Gaza flotilla” issue...
Little does the world know that this so called humanitarian flotilla was a set up by radicals and communists Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Code Pink founder Jodie Evans who have close ties to Barack Obama, in order to undermine Israel. (1)
Of course, the media will not investigate this and are conveniently ignoring the vast majority of this story but instead they will be nice to the White House hoping for that personal interview and dinner invite.
Maranatha!

Former President G. W. Bush on waterboarding terrorists – “I would do it
again”
From (Mr.) IW @ US
From a interview of Former President G. W. Bush earlier on the week:
“I’d do it again” former President Bush tells Grand Rapids crowd about waterboarding
terrorists – MLive.com
Relevant sections:
=====
Former President George W. Bush was by turns affable, relaxed – and deadly serious in his local appearance Wednesday.
“Yeah, we water-boarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed”, Bush said of the terrorist who master-minded the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. He said that event shaped his presidency and convinced him the nation was in a war against terror.
“I’d do it again to save lives.”
=====
Bush underlined the role religion played in his life in the White House, saying prayer gave him strength to go forward.
“I prayed a lot. I really did. I prayed before every major speech. I prayed before debates. It was a very important experience.”

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn gives pro-Israel talk
As the result of... the world reaction to the State of Israel’s recent flouting of International Law, while key players of the Western world carefully measure their words so that they do not (God forbid!) offend Israel, the following post we made on April 2005 came to mind:
NEWS (1) – Jerusalem Post: Papal candidate Schonborn gives pro-Israel talk
Key Quotes [from original article already removed by the Jerusalem Post]
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
This whole affair would be laughable if it would not have such grave consequences.
Key Quotes [from original article already removed by the Jerusalem Post]
A cardinal considered a candidate to succeed Pope John Paul II delivered a strong message in favor
of Jewish settlement in the Holy Land on Wednesday night, rejecting the claim that European
Christians’ support for the State of Israel is based on Holocaust guilt and saying that all
Christians should affirm Zionism as a biblical imperative for the Jewish people.
Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, part of a visiting Austrian delegation, made the remarks in an address at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the topic of “God’s chosen land”.
After asking, “What does Eretz Yisrael [the Land of Israel] mean to us”, Schoenborn answered by stressing the doctrinal importance to Christians of not only recognizing Jews’ connection to the land, but also ensuring that Christian identification with the Jewish Bible not lead to a “usurpation” of Jewish uniqueness.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments
This whole affair would be laughable if it would not have such grave consequences.
This Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn —an Opus Dei man— is the one who on 13/20 August
1997, page 3, of L’Osservatore Romano, came to the defense of the Prelature of the Holy Cross
and Opus Dei after a Parliamentary Commission in Belgium had listed said Prelature as a sect. This
“dissertation” was promptly echoed in a site sponsored by
the Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi – another sect
within the Church.
What makes Schoenborn’s comments especially revolting is that Opus Dei was a sustaining pillar
in the Spanish Dictatorship of Generalíssimo Franco,
a government which sent
troops to assist Nazi Germany in their fight against communism... while at the same time some
Opus Dei university branches in certain occasions committed notable injustices, at times in
iniquitous alliances with Marxist professors, against Catholic professors.
[DD] Of course, Opus Dei’s anti-Semitism is denied and/or
explained away, depending upon who the listener is.

False Christ 101: Simple ways to distinguish between Christ and his impostor
Did you know that... we have just published a new and very useful/important document?
False Christ 101: Simple ways to
distinguish between Christ and his impostor
This is like a College freshman level course —thus the number “101”— wherein the information has been simplified to the point of almost being pre-digested.
Why are we going that “extra mile” regarding the False Christ deception? Because Jesus insists that we do.
Jesus did not talk just to fill the pages of the New Testament... He meant —completely— every word/warning/admonishment He uttered.
To wit...
For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the
world until now, neither shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be
saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say to
you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him. For there shall arise false Christs and
false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even
the elect. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand. [Matthew 24:
21-24]
We wish to conclude this post with a very bold and harsh statement: Anyone who will blindly follow the Vatican in whatever they pronounce, regardless of its dubious veracity, will be deceived in the snare of the False Christ.
Borrowing from Our Lord’s own Words: I have told it to you, beforehand.
To anyone who may think: “Oh, God would not allow that upon His children” – Be reminded that because of the Vatican’s disobedience to God’s request through Fatima (1), fifty million died in World War II and millions more died as the result of Russia spreading its errors.
Once again, we quote Him as He admonishes us not to fall into such complacency...
Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate
had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse
sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless
you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on
them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no!
But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” [Luke 13:1-5]
May God Have Mercy on His Elect!

News about Palestine and Israel
From (Mr.) IW @ US
[Note from The M+G+R Foundation: We received the following from Mr. IW just hours after the Israeli assault. We are publishing it now since much of the key information has been glossed over by the main stream news]
This is from a “Palestinian solidarity” source (1).
Israeli commandos surround convoy, fire live ammunition upon Mavi Marmara, with hundreds of
aid workers and activists aboard.
10 PM CST: Solidarity activists aboard one of six relief vessels traveling to Gaza with humanitarian report that they have been attacked by Israeli forces, with three of their human rights volunteers killed and roughly 30 injured. The assault comes in the wake of the flotilla being surrounded earlier today by three Israeli warships in international waters, roughly 70 miles away from the Israeli coast. The Flotilla moved further west, deeper into international waters to avoid any conflict with Israeli navy vessels, but had been concerned all night that Israeli forces would send small inflatable military boats towards the flotilla and attempt to attack and board the humanitarian vessels.
Those fears have apparently been realized, with people aboard the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship with hundreds of aid workers and activists aboard, reporting that they have been attacked. At least three passengers have been killed and dozens more wounded. Israeli commandos apparently repelled onto the Mavi Marmara, whose passengers range in age from 88 to a year old and include Christians, Muslims and Jews seeking to end the blockade. Midwest U.S. activists have been unable to reach Chicagoan Fatima Mohammadi, traveling aboard the Mavi Marmara.
Live video from the flotilla shows Israeli naval commando vessels pulling alongside the aid ships, and what sounds like gunfire can be heard in the background. No-one on the aid ships is carrying any kinds of weapons, including for defense against a feared Israeli attack in international waters.
Hundreds of elected officials, former diplomats, aid workers and activists – including a Nobel laureate and many European legislators – are with the flotilla, traveling by sea to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade of the tiny strip of land. Foreign news correspondents and independent journalists are traveling aboard the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship with hundreds of aid workers and activists aboard which is also running its own press operation reachable at the satellite number +8821636619168. A total of six ships, including two cargo ships and other passenger vehicles, are carrying thousands of tons of humanitarian aid to the besieged region, which has been under Israeli blockade since 2006.
Israel has marshalled its most lethal military vessels to try to stop the humanitarian marine convoy, and at around 2:20 pm Central Standard Time (US) the first reports of unmanned drone planes buzzing the vessels was received from convoy passengers.
Two boats in the aid flotilla, one currently traveling with the convoy to Gaza and another in port in Cyprus for repairs, are flagged and registered in the United States. The ships are U.S. territory under maritime law, and the U.S. government is required to intervene if this “U.S. property” is attacked or illegally confiscated by Israeli authorities — a tactic Israel has threatened and deployed in the past. Israel has a long history of attacking ships whose missions are deemed undesirable. In December 2008, it rammed the Dignity, carrying medical and humanitarian aid, doctors, human rights workers and a former U.S. congresswoman, without warning in international waters.
Israel intensified its 2006 blockade after attacking the area in a weeks-long assault that ended in January 2009, killing more than 1,400 and leaving thousands more homeless and reducing huge swaths of housing to rubble. The blockade has created mass unemployment and extreme poverty, leaving four out of five Gazans — half of whom are children — dependent on humanitarian aid.
The Freedom Flotilla carries more than 10,000 tons of relief and developmental aid to Gaza, along with roughly 700 participants from more than 30 countries, among them volunteers from South Africa, Algeria, Turkey, Macedonia, Pakistan, Yemin, Kosovo, the UK and US and Kuwait – and an exiled former Archbishop of Jerusalem who currently lives in the Vatican. The cargo includes prefabricated homes and playgrounds, cement and other home-building supplies, medical devices and medications, textiles and food, in defiance of Israel’s siege on Gaza, which restricts the entry of all materials, including food and medicine. The flotilla’s supplies were gathered by a coalition of international civil society and human rights organizations to be sent directly to the people of Gaza by sea, using only international waters and the coastal waters immediately off of Gaza for passage. The flotilla is expected to arrive in Gaza as early as today.
Participants on board speak languages that include English, Turkish, Kurdish, over ten dialects of Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Malaysian, Indonesian, Norwegian, Swedish, Urdu, Punjabi, Farsi, Hindi, German, Flemish, Greek, Catalan, Russian, Bosnian, Chechen, Macedonian and Albanian. Reporters on board hail from locations that include the United Kingdom, Spain, Malaysia, Indonesia, Venezuela, Kuwait, South Africa, Pakistan, Jordan, the Persian Gulf and across the Arab world.

The presence of “Fatima” as a passenger, and the presence of the mysterious Catholic bishop now resident at the Vatican, leapt out at me.
Again ... I wonder if the fuse was lit tonight. Liberal US commentators are blasting the Israelis; the right-wing boards offer the Israelis uncritical support (just as the Communist Party USA uncritically supported the USSR.)

Prof. David Ray Griffin reporting on the September 9-11 Events
Did you know that... the “official 9-11” story seems to be collapsing just as the towers did? (1)
At least that is what Prof. David Ray Griffin (2) claims in his latest study.
(1)
Report
(2) David Ray Griffin is the author of 36 books on various
topics, including philosophy, theology, philosophy of science, and 9/11. His 2008 book, The New
Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the Exposé, was named a “Pick of the Week” by
Publishers Weekly. In September 2009, The New Statesman ranked him #41 among “The 50 People Who
Matter Today.” His most recent book is The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the
Final Official Report about 9/11 is Unscientific and False (2009). His next book will be Cognitive
Infiltration: An Obama Appointee’s Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory (September
2010).
Notes
(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the idea (from what you may read on
this page) that we are part of what is known as the “liberal movement” within Catholicism. We
strongly suggest that you first review our positions regarding the
Pristine Catholic Faith (we said “Faith” and not “Church
Administration”), RC Church Administration ,
Only Possible Changes Within the RCC Allowed by God and
Our Function.
(2) If you prefer to evaluate positions using the “liberal”, “moderate” and “conservative” labels, we would fall in the “practicing conservative” group, without the fanaticism which most “talking conservatives” exhibit. The difference between “practicing conservative” and “talking conservative” is that the first strives to live what Jesus Christ taught, while the second one, the “talking conservative”, just talks about the faith and practices just enough for others to see.
(3) In an effort to keep our readers informed in the areas that matter most as we approach the End of These Times and better utilize the limited time available to us we will post what used to be posted on Did you know that...?, Private Forum, Public Forum Part II and Points to Ponder About on this one single page – FYI&R
