Quote:More biased reporting in the press:

In June 2005, many UK and international newspapers had inaccurate headlines about "Witchcraft Abuse" in Britian. However, the actual situation was that African Churches in the UK and their Christian members were inhumanely abusing their own children, on suspicion that the latter were witches (or possessed).

"Churches blamed for exorcism growth" was the more accurate headline, which the UK newspaper Observer carried.

Crisis in DR Congo



By Mike Thomson



12 year-old, Henri, which is not his real name, points at a large fresh looking scar on his midriff.



[color="#0000FF"]"People accused me of sorcery and my mother believed them," he says.



"Look, here on my stomach. She tried to kill me with a knife. It really hurt and I cannot understand why my mother did it."[/color]

[color="#800080"](Such a pity that one doesn't know where she lives.)[/color]



Henri, who is now being given help by a children's charity, had been playing outside his home in Goma, eastern Congo, when the accusations began.



[color="#0000FF"]His eyes begin to water as he remembers pleading with his mother, telling her that the claims were completely untrue. Not that this made any difference.



"She threw me out of the house and told me to go away," he says.[/color]



Henri was then forced to live on the streets until charity workers convinced his mother that the allegations were untrue.



Growing problem



His is just one of a fast growing number of children accused of sorcery to come to the attention of Unicef's head of child protection in Congo, Alessandra Dentice.



[color="#0000FF"]"Children accused of witchcraft is unfortunately one of the major increasing child protection issues in the country," she says.[/color]



[color="#800080"](Image caption[/color] Even some government officials believe in sorcery

Antonie Famber, Lawyer





Unicef's latest available statistics show that around one hundred cases of child sorcery allegations were referred to them in 2008 in the North Kivu province of Eastern Congo alone.



That number increased nearly fivefold to 450 in the same area last year.

[color="#800080"](And now you can see firsthand how christianism in Europe worked itself up into a "witches" frenzy and murdered upwards of 9 million women - including children - and a great number of men. Witnessing a smaller-scale version of it happening in the DRC now. But with almost uniformly petits enfants as the victims instead.

It's what christianism does. Preying on the innocent and the defenceless. By turning people against their own.)[/color]



Alessandra Dentice believes this may be explained by a growing awareness of the problem that has led to more reports rather than more cases.



But, she says, recent events in violence-plagued Eastern Congo might also explain the rise.

[color="#800080"](What? Violence is on the rise in many places of the world. They don't go burning their kids for witchcraft.)[/color]



"This is a country where is no social cohesion any longer, there is no sense of community, no sense of family," she says.

[color="#800080"](Yes. Because non-existent jeebus comes to divide families. Turn brother against brother. Parent against child.)[/color]



"So, whenever anything happens at family or community level it is very easy for them to blame someone who is powerless and seems to have no rights."



Ms Dentice went on tell me how serious sorcery allegations can be for the children concerned.



"A lot of these children are beaten up or [color="#FF0000"]burnt[/color]. Unfortunately it is very common," she says.





[color="#800080"](image caption[/color] The head of the authority beat me with a stick and told me to say that I was a sorcerer. He forced me to say it. People were waiting outside to kill me

Jean



"I have just received this morning a report about a girl of 12-years-old who has been [color="#FF0000"]burnt[/color] because she was accused of witchcraft."

[color="#800080"](And that's the christian Witch hunts transplanted from christianised Europa to christianised Africa. You can tell it is christianism, despite BBC carefully avoiding the word, because burning is the christian consequence for when someone is accused of witchcraft. Just like this little 12 year old. Ja! Sie soll brennen! <- BTW, that's the call for when they decided to burn a "witch" in Germany.)[/color]



The Anglican Bishop of Bukavu, Josue Bulambo Lembelembe, is also very concerned by the apparent increase in sorcery allegations against children here.



"It only takes somebody in a family to fall ill and a child can be accused of sorcery," he says.

[color="#800080"](Just like in christian Europe in the "Good Old Days".)[/color]



"Particularly if the youngster accused lives on the street. Then they point to him or her and say they caused the illness or other problem."

[color="#800080"](Like the Salem witch insanity. A witchery frenzy where christomaniacs start accusing people for anything and everything. That itself was a replay of Europe. But this is now. Because Congo is very christian now.

And touching concern by the Anglican bishop - he is oh so innocent. Didn't he do any converting? Doesn't he follow the True Religion himself? Doesn't he preach from the babble? And what does the babble say about witches? That's right! It says to burn them. And the consequence has been to burn every last man, woman and child for witchery.)[/color]





Death threat



[color="#800080"](image caption[/color] We know that if our message fails to get through, some children will die

Monossay Bodween Odette, Children's Voice



Not far across Goma, I approached the offices of the charity, Childrens Voice.



Having heard that I was coming, more than 200 youngsters, standing in long neat lines, burst into song as I drove through the gates. In charge was the charity's local Director, Monossay Bodween Odette.



"We found many of these children on the streets without parents or any kind of support," she says.



"When children accused of sorcery of sorcery are abandoned on the streets life is very hard for them. People throw stones at them and many get badly hurt.



"That is why we go from house to house telling people not to listen to claims of child sorcery. We know that if our message fails to get through, some children will die."

[color="#800080"](The message should be: do not listen to christianism. Abandon christianism.

Wherever there is christianism there will be accusations of witchcraft. Especially when a nation has just been converted and is in the throes of pre-enlightenment full-on christianism. And even more so if any heathenism remains that can be accused.

Poor Africa. How it has been infected by the christian disease.)[/color]



It is here that I met 14 year-old, Jean, though I have been asked not to give his real name because of past threats against him. A tall sullen looking boy, Jean seems nervous and withdrawn.



But when I ask him to tell me about the witchcraft accusations against him he sits up straight and begins to tell me his story.



It all started, he says, after he went to see a Nigerian horror film about zombies.

[color="#800080"](What? The christian anti-heathen Nollywood films that some IF member posted about a while back?)[/color]



"In this movie one person was raising the dead with a stick. I was with a friend and we went to a cemetery to play and try and act out the movie," he says.



"But when my friend saw me doing this he ran away and [color="#0000FF"]accused me of being a sorcerer to his parents."[/color]



Jean goes on to tell me that [color="#0000FF"]his friend's parents came to his grandparents house where he was living and told them that he was a sorcerer and [color="#FF0000"]would have to be burned[/color].[/color]



Then, he says, his grandparents gave him a beating before taking him down to the offices of the local authority.



"The head of the authority beat me with a stick and told me to say that I was a sorcerer. He forced me to say it. People were waiting outside to kill me," he says.

[color="#800080"](Oh look. It's the 1st Inquisition against the witches again: extracting forced confessions from innocents. The hysterical faithful public clamouring to see the fires consume the accused. My, how "christianism has changed". <- Hindus keep saying this all the time everywhere, advertising for christianism "which has improved since That day" versus the Uniquely Medieval Islam. What?? And no. It has nothing to do with the medieval period. This ongoing mass-murder has to do with christoislamism.)[/color]



[color="#FF0000"]Jean was then brought before a local priest who confirmed that he was a sorcerer[/color].

[color="#800080"](See. Jeebus said so. The holy spook told the priest that the petit was a sorcerer. Never mind that the jeebus-holyspook is non-existent. The local priest channeled His Non-existence and determined that the little boy was A Sorcerer. A witch. Er soll brennen! Come on everyone, let's burn him. The biblical gawd demands sacrifices. Not the Roman kind. The biblical kind: human sacrifices.)[/color]



It was only after the Children's Voice charity visited his grandparents and warned them that making witchcraft allegations against children is now illegal, that the matter was finally dropped.



But the existence of a recently introduced law under the Child Protection Code is one thing. Enforcing it can be quite another, according to local lawyer, Antonie Famber.



"The trouble is that most people here still believe in witchcraft so this makes the law very hard to enforce," he says.

[color="#800080"](That's because most people there are still christians.

But do those people accuse remnants of heathenism of "witchcraft" too, one wonders.)[/color]



"To make matter worse even some government officials believe in sorcery themselves. Take the case of a colleague of mine who is also a lawyer. He knows that the law does not recognise sorcery be he has accused his own children of witchcraft."



But Unicef's, Alessandra Dentice says the new law, which took eight years to get on the statute books and carries a maximum penalty of three years jail, is helping .



She believes that it has helped make people take a current radio and television campaign seriously and may also have prompted more people to report accusations made.



Not that such legal threats are making everyone here contrite.



[color="#0000FF"]12-year-old Henri, who revealed how he was stabbed by his mother after neighbours accused him of sorcery, told me how she responded after accepting that he was not guilty after all.



"She didn't say sorry to me. She didn't say anything."[/color]

Sindhi conversions in Ulhasnagar raise a storm



http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_sindhi-conversions-in-ulhasnagar-raise-a-storm_1351837



Kiran Tare / DNA



Wednesday, February 24, 2010 1:25 IST





Mumbai: The close-knit Sindhi community in Ulhasnagar, north-east of Mumbai, is undergoing a social upheaval of sorts. Over the last two years, a sizeable number in the township — primarily created for Sindhis who came in as refugees from Pakistan's Sindh province after partition — have drifted away from Hinduism and embraced Christianity.



The "conversions" have sent shockwaves among the community elders, specially since Indian Sindhis, weighed down by the scars of partition, are known to be staunch followers of Hinduism.

Most of those who are shifting their faith allegiance to Christianity are in their 40s and, in fact, had been devout followers of Hinduism.

[color="#800080"](Christianism must have tested the waters and implemented a targeted plan. They're good at that.)[/color]



Out of four lakh Sindhi-speaking Hindus in Ulhasnagar, around 7,000 (1.75%) have changed their faith in the last two years, according to a rough count. The growing number of "conversions" has scared the Sindhi-speaking Hindus to such an extent that they are contemplating a social boycott of the neo-Christians.

[color="#800080"](Just do it. Don't contemplate. TOTAL boycott. Of all christianism ideally.)[/color]

Those who are taking to Christianity are not branding it as a conversion; instead, they say they have only changed their faith. Most have not even changed their Hindu names, which is turning out to be a major bone of contention with the Hindus.

[color="#800080"](Cryptochristianism is a mandate in the catholic church for those without christian antecedents of several generations/for those whose christianism is not already public news.

Cryptochristianism is a Trojan horse tactic. If you can't see the enemy or count it - it can multiply unnoticed and undisturbed until the numbers are sufficient. They leverage the government, they steal Hindu money earmarked for Hindu communities. They infiltrate and subvert Hindu families. Catholic church also uses strategically placed cryptochristists to badmouth Hindu Dharma from behind Hindu names, to gain access to Hindu audiences and brainwash them from the position of trust that the Hindu names provide.

Protestantisms also use cryptochristianism for not showing numbers and for getting money for their dalits. Since the law only provides for Harijan - that is, Dharmics.)[/color]



"We are not against any religion but if they do not believe in Hinduism and are drawn closer to Christianity, they should adopt Christian names. We have called a meeting of the saints in our community in July. In that meeting, we will take a decision to boycott the converted Sindhis socially if they do not change their names," said Sai Balram, general secretary of the All India Sindhi Samaj, one of the prominent organisations of the community.

Global recession is to blame, say Hindu leaders in the community. Ulhasnagar is largely a business township, full of small scale industries and traders.



Balram said, "The Christian missionaries helped the small businessmen rebuild their businesses. Since then, there has been a wave of conversion."



But Ram Budhwani, a resident who follows Christianity, rubbishes the argument.

[color="#800080"](Christian deflection kicks in - always happens when they're worried the heathens have noticed their silent multiplying/cryptochristianism. Watch the desperate denial + advertisement-for-christianism to follow[/color]

"I started visiting the chapel to get peace of mind. I lost my wife in an accident two years ago. I became an alcoholic. I suffered heavy losses in my business and had to close down my shop. [color="#0000FF"]But since I am visiting the prayer house (known as Prarthana <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> Ghar in Ulhasnagar) I am making progress in my business. I set up my shop again and am doing well.[/color] [color="#FF0000"]I have changed my faith, not the religion," he said.[/color]

[color="#800080"](What? What does that mean? Is this the new argument, that christianism is a subsect of "hindooism"? Since when is changing one's faith not the same as changing religion?

These terrorists are instructed on every excuse and ruse to use to lull Hindus back into oblivion.)[/color]



The Sindhi-speaking Hindus in Ulhasnagar feel people like Budhwani have betrayed the community. "Sindhis are known for their loyalty to Hinduism. We preferred to leave our places (in Pakistan) during the Partition but refused to convert into Islam. Now, we are confused how to face the situation," a senior citizen from the community said.

one more sister-abhaya type case involving christist godmen

mar 5th, 2010



this potential murder charge does not get anybody excited enough to attack the churches, why? amazing there are always 'enraged citizens' (read mercenaries) congregating against hindu interests, ready with inflammable material (as in godhra) just waiting to be enraged.



the answer: the case of swami nityananda allegedly having sex with a woman is a conspiracy by christists/DMK. they were worried that nityananda, a lower-caste person himself, was preventing a lot of conversions. so naturally they had to destroy his reputation and for good measure his ashram.



of course, this was the reason the kanchi swami was attacked by the christists/DMK also.



nobody in the media is saying 'let the law take its course'. the media has decided that the swami was guilty, although it is entirely possible to doctor up videos using photoshop-like techniques.



and in any case, even if the swami had sex with a woman, he didn't kill her, right? unlike sister abhaya and now this young girl (by the way, she's a christist girl too -- and of course christist girls under their control are irresistible pieces of meat for padres). let us also remember the 'vampire of cochin', the bishop john thattunkal, who had a nubile 25-year-old girlfriend aka adopted daughter. thattunkal has been spirited away to the vatican. no conviction for incest?



from www.kaumudi.com, which has a picture of the felon: he must be at least 60 years old, the old goat, still pantering after teenagers!

Quote:Pope's sainthood setback after 'miracle cure' nun reported to be ill again



Hopes John Paul's canonisation would be fast-tracked by Sister Marie Simon-Pierre's recovery from Parkinson's receive set back

It was the miracle that set Pope John Paul II on the road to sainthood and provided faithful followers with proof of his holy powers. But hopes that the former pope's canonisation would be fast-tracked by Sister Marie Simon-Pierre's recovery from Parkinson's disease have been set back by reports that the French nun has fallen ill again.



[color="#0000FF"]Simon-Pierre described three years ago how she regained her health after a night of prayer to the then recently deceased Polish pontiff. John Paul also suffered from Parkinson's disease, which is incurable.[/color]

[color="#800080"](Please. He supposedly cured her of a disease when dead which he couldn't cure himself of when living? And catholics believe all this nonsense? The only miracle here is the depths of christian stupidity...)[/color]



"It's like a second birth," she said at the time. "I feel like I've discovered a new body, new limbs."

[color="#800080"](aka the "It's a miracle!" slogan)[/color]



In 2007 Simon-Pierre could barely move her left side, could not write legibly, drive or move around easily and was in constant pain.



Her disease worsened after the pope's death, and her order prayed for his intervention to ease her suffering. Then after writing his name on a paper one night, she woke up the next day apparently cured and returned to work as a maternity nurse with no traces of the disease.



[color="#0000FF"]But according to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, one of the doctors charged with scrutinising the nun's case believed she might have been suffering from a similar nervous disease, not Parkinson's, which could go into sudden remission. A report on the paper's website went further, saying that the 49-year-old nun had become sick again with the same illness.[/color]

[color="#800080"](So it's some other disease. And there's instances of remission. Nothing miraculous about her temporary 'recovery' then.)[/color]



The Vatican was making no comment on the grounds that the late pope's case was still under examination.



Although no date has been fixed for the late pope's beatification, there had been an expectation that it would be announced in mid-October. His case was fast-tracked by his successor, Pope Benedict, and the anniversary of John Paul's election falls on 16 October.

[color="#800080"](<img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Guess that means it's time to manufacture another JPII miracle in order to still make the mid-Oct deadline. I'm sure some lying Indian cannibal sheep will oblige and go on record with an "It's a miracle!" declaration. Maybe Suzanna Margaret 'Arundati' Roy or John Dayal - both used to lying in public - will perjure themselves for the christian cause yet again by offering themselves as personal witnesses to JPII's spook doing some hocus-pocus 'miracle' on them? I don't know, maybe by giving Roy some writing talent and Dayal a brain. <- But mustn't ask for the moon, only miracles. Ooooh, oooh, oooh, I know: a faithful could resurrect AP's christian tyrant Samuel Reddy and declare "JPII did it." Easier to accomplish than giving Suzanna Roy talent etc.)[/color]



The first sign that all might not be as it should be came when the Vatican fixed the canonisation of six new saints for the following day, a Sunday, making a beatification the same weekend impossible.



Vatican sources stressed that the panel of doctors which will examine the evidence relating to Simon-Pierre's recovery was not due to meet until April, when it will consider a report by two medical experts.



Beatification is an intermediate step on the road to canonisation, though not all of those declared "blessed" go on to become saints. Beatification requires at least one miracle. A second is needed for sainthood.

[color="#800080"](Wasn't the requirement 3 miracles for sainthood...? Am I imagining again <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> or have they reduced it by one now merely to get more sainted ASAP?

Anyway: Too bad for JPII, those puppeteering him posthumously have to start all over again.)[/color]



The Vatican, whose congregation [department] for the cause of saints deals with canonisations and beatifications, has been under relentless pressure to speed up John Paul's progress. On the day of his funeral in 2005 there were unparalleled scenes in St Peter's Square, when the crowd took up a chant of "santo subito", or "saint straightaway".

The Vatican was today rocked by a sex scandal reaching into Pope Benedict's household after a chorister was sacked for allegedly procuring male prostitutes for a papal gentleman-in-waiting.



Angelo Balducci, a Gentleman of His Holiness, was caught by police on a wiretap allegedly negotiating with Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 29-year-old Vatican chorister, over the specific physical details of men he wanted brought to him. Transcripts in the possession of the Guardian suggest that [color="#0000FF"]numerous men may have been procured for Balducci, at least one of whom was studying for the priesthood.[/color]



The explosive claims about Balducci's private life have caused grave embarrassment to the Vatican, which has yet to publicly comment on the affair.



While Catholicism does not condemn homosexuality outright, its teaching is that homosexual acts "are intrinsically disordered". The Catechism of the Catholic church states unequivocally: "Under no circumstances can they be approved."



Balducci was arrested on 10 February, suspected of involvement in widespread corruption. [color="#FF0000"]A senior Italian government official[/color], he is alleged to have to steered public works contracts towards favoured bidders. He has not been charged.



It was during this investigation into corruption that wiretaps revealed his alleged sexual activity. In one conversation, Ehiem tells Balducci: "I saw your call when I was in the Vatican, because I was doing rehearsals … in the choir … in St Peter's." He then suggests Balducci meet a man who he describes is "two metres tall … 97 kilos … aged 33, completely active."



[size="6"]Balducci is also a senior adviser to the [color="#0000FF"]Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples[/color], the department that oversees the Roman Catholic church's worldwide missionary activities.[/size]

[color="#800080"](By any chance procuring converted foreign males for the activities of the papal household such as Balducci's own?)[/color]



Since 1995, he has been a member of one of the world's most exclusive fraternities – the Gentlemen of His Holiness, or Papal Gentlemen, the ceremonial ushers of the papal household. In the words of a 1968 ordinance, they are expected to "distinguish themselves for the good of souls and the glory of the name of the Lord".



According to a report by the Carabinieri for prosecutors in Florence investigating the corruption scandal, there was a hidden side to Balducci's life. "In order to organise casual encounters of a sexual nature, he availed himself of the intercession of two individuals who, it is maintained, may form part of an organised network, especially active in [Rome], of exploiters or at least facilitators of male prostitution."



[color="#0000FF"]It named one as Ehiem, a professional chorister born in Nigeria. According to Italian press reports, Ehiem, a member of the choir that sings in St Peters when the pope is not officiating, lost his job on Wednesday after details of the Florence investigation became known to the Vatican.[/color]



In an interview to be published tomorrow by the news magazine Panorama, Ehiem said he [color="#0000FF"]had been introduced to Balducci more than 10 years ago.[/color] He claims: "He asked me if I could procure [color="#0000FF"]other[/color] men for him. He told me he was [color="#0000FF"]married[/color] and that I had to do it in great secrecy."

[color="#800080"]("other": that would mean Ehiem himself was one of those earlier approached by Balducci)[/color]



There were conflicting accounts of how the Vatican might respond. According to one source, there was no provision for the dismissal of a Gentleman of His Holiness. Another said: "We shall wait for the judiciary's definitive verdict."

[color="#800080"](Like how paedophile priests can't get excommunicated by the 'holy' church - because: once a catholic priest always a catholic priest, as per the church's own religious rules.)[/color]



The transcripts imply that over a period of around five months in 2008, Ehiem procured for Balducci at least 10 contacts with, among others, [color="#FF0000"]"two black Cuban lads"[/color], a former male model from Naples, and a rugby player from Rome.

[color="#800080"](See the advantages for catholicism of missionising the world? And who said the Vatican is still racist? It's now got a taste for "ethnic" men too. Eeeeewwwww. Isn't it Scary?)[/color]



Balducci's lawyer, Franco Coppi, said tonight: "I have no comment. First, because we have more serious questions to tackle. Second, if these claims are correct, they regard his private life. It is disgraceful that these transcripts, which have nothing to do with the case, should have been spread about."

[color="#800080"]("How dare you reveal the seedy truth about Papal Gentlemen? It's the Vatican's private orgy ... I mean private communion with christ.")[/color]



In January this year, the Carabinieri [color="#0000FF"]recorded an exchange in which Balducci and Ehiem discuss a seminarian, or student for the priesthood. Balducci is said to have asked: "Listen, have you spoken with the seminarian by any chance?" Ehiem says he is "probably at mass or something". On 11 January, Ehiem calls again to recommend "a colleague, a friend" of the seminarian because the latter is unavailable. He says the colleague is "better, taller, a bit taller than you". Later, Ehiem asks: "Can I send [him] around straight away?"[/color]



He asks where Balducci is. The adviser says: "Up at the seminary … [color="#0000FF"]where the cardinal lives.[/color]" Ehiem replies: "He could get there within half an hour … the time it takes to catch a taxi and get there."

Quote:JULIUS III 1550-1555 Pope Julius III, like other Popes before him, was also a paedophile. He abused young boys, of which one was his own illegitimate son and another was his adopted son Innocenzo del Monte, whom he had picked up in the streets of Palma. This caused a grave scandal especially when Julius made the 17-year-old Innocenzo first a cardinal and then head of the Secretariat of State.

Besides Innocenzo, he also appointed several other handsome teenage boys as cardinals. Cardinal della Casa's famous poem In Praise of Sodomy was dedicated to his Holiness, Pope Julius III.

What’s wrong with this picture?



I’ve neglected this blog a lot.

[...]

But the Church just won’t let me be. Every time I think, Okay, I can walk away now, they come up with something even more outrageous. I’ve stoically ignored the meltdown in the Irish Church, even failed to mention the choirboy scandals in Germany. But now…



Well, now there’s a new scandal brewing in Rome. And thus the cause for the irony between the headline and the picture above. Those are Irish cardinals who’ve been called in on the carpet for the sex scandals there.



(more…)

Quote:The timing couldn’t be worse. Here’s the story from the Guardian, where the above headline and picture come from, too:

(Emphasis added.) Original story here.



Let’s connect some dots:

- An usher, it seems to me, would be ideally placed to be a pimp to the Pope’s elite visitors: cardinals, archbishops, heads of religious orders dignitaries, ambassadors, etc., etc.



- This arrangement between the two may have gone on for a decade, and is part of a larger operation.

Choirs — as is evidenced by the current scandal surrounding a school choir in Germany later run by the pope’s brother — have long been used as pools for predators.



- The timing — the Irish cardinals appearing in Rome for a private meeting with the pope.

[color="#800080"](I'm not sure what the implication of this is...)[/color]



[color="#FF0000"]- Finally, the procurer worked for the missionary arm of the Church! Imagine the possibilities there, for not only procuring victims, but placing predators.[/color]

[color="#800080"](See, the ex-catholic agrees with me on the dangers of the church's mission in the world. They are spreading their disease of sex-slaves as well as paedophilia.)[/color]



Suddenly, the headline and the story seem to go together all too well!



More to come, almost certainly…

Yes, anyone can have a bad hair day. Anyone can have fun with a silly hat.

[color="#800080"][images][/color]



But how is that someone who is supposed to be the representative of God on Earth can look so consistently evil?



True story: the day Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope, someone replaced his picture on his page at Wikipedia with this one of Senator Palpatine from Star Wars. It went unnoticed for some time. It's an appropriate comparison, seeing as both started off as champions of the underdog and became spooky-looking, power-mad tyrants. And indeed, the graphic comparison to the evil Emperor is uncomfortably apt.

[color="#800080"](I always - independently - thought Ratzy reminded me of Darth Sidious too.)[/color]



[color="#800080"][See Wackypedia image of Ratzy-as-Sidious at link.][/color]



Before he became Pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger served as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which at one time had been called the Holy Office of the Universal Roman Inquisition. Yes, that Inquisition. The one that silenced Galileo and burnt Bruno. It was also the one that kept the lid on clergy sexual abuse for over 400 years.



As head of the CDF, Ratzinger deliberately cranked the clock back to the Middle Ages. Or at least long before the Second Vatican Council. He personally helped squash most of the progressive hopes that he himself had promoted during the Council. It reads like a litany of the damned. Among them are:



- Liberation theology, taking the "preferential option for the poor" of the Gospel seriously, was condemned. Along the way, so too were his old friends and allies from the Council, including Leonardo Boff, Hans Kung, and Karl Rahner.



- Women's ordination hopes were dashed by raising [color="#0000FF"]the doctrine of verismilitude[/color] – that possession of a penis like Jesus, even if unused, was somehow vitally important to the office of priest – to near-dogmatic status.

[color="#800080"](Clearly shows who actually worship the phallus: christians. Here: catholics.)[/color]



- Gays were denied any participation unless totally celibate. Quite a bit of hypocrisy there as many experts reckon that well over half of the clergy itself is homosexual, and most of them are [color="#0000FF"]active[/color].



- Ecumenical flowerings withered on the vine by suggesting that any Christian denomination [color="#0000FF"]denying the pope[/color] were somehow lacking. It is, by the way, now [color="#0000FF"]an offense worthy of automatic excommunication and a secret trial for any priest who participates in a Mass with non-Roman Catholics[/color] – on the same level as a Black Mass or sexual abuse.



- Inter-religious relations haven't flourished either, especially with the Muslims, whom Benedict managed to insult by calling Muhammad an evildoer. Nor have the Jews been pleased by his promotion of the idea that Catholics continue to pray for their conversion.



And the main reason: Clergy abuse cases are once again handled secretly, with automatic excommunication incurred by anyone who violates it. For more information see Timeline of the Sex Scandals



Not only that, he is simply one scary-looking dude.



Of course, it's easy to exagerate the look with Photoshop...



But below are a series of photos of Benedict collected from the Internet. Judge for yourselves if they are fake or real.

Quote:Omen of Christmas Future?



[color="#800080"][image of the recent event where a woman shoved his papal infallibleness][/color]



Sometimes the best gifts are those you never ask for, but are given anyway.



For instance, I would never, ever have thought of writing to Saint Nick,



“Dear Santa,



“This year, could you somehow have the pope tackled during a procession? I don’t want anybody really hurt, but it would sure brighten up my Christmas.”



But guess what? It happened anyway! Well, although an elderly cardinal broke his leg, the pope himself wasn’t hurt in the commotion, and that’s just fine with me. (Seriously, the last thing I’d want is Ratzi to become a martyr — and the incident wouldn’t have been at all funny, either.)



But having him taken down with a flying tackle by a woman in red? Priceless.

“I’m shocked, shocked” says the Pope…

[color="#800080"][photoshopped image from Casablanca][/color]



Behind the mask



I had a rather peculiar feeling when reading how shocked and dismayed Pope Benedict XVI said he was over the report on Irish abuse. I was reminded in fact of a scene from the classic film Casablanca (1942). You know the one — the refugees in the bar beat the Germans in the “Battle of the Anthems” and so the head Nazi, the evil Maj. Strasser, orders the corrupt French cop Capt. Renault to shut the place down.



Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Capt. Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Capt. Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

[aloud]

Capt. Renault: Everybody out at once!



[color="#0000FF"]Yes, caught between admitting that abuse was due in large part to the Vatican’s culture of secrecy and cover-up which he himself has restored and having to do something about it, the Supreme Pontiff’s response of “outrage, betrayal, and shame” is predictable. Since, however, as the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , Ratzinger is more likely outraged by the revelations of abuse rather than its actual happening.



For if anybody knew what was going on it was him. And if the Grand Inquisitor didn’t know, that in itself is a major scandal!



But rather than confess any faults of God’s Holy Church, he places the blame squarely on the perpetrators and the bishops who enabled them. Like Capt. Renault,[/color] [color="#FF0000"]the Holy See profits from the cover-up and also by the abuse.[/color]

[color="#800080"](Important.)[/color]



[color="#0000FF"]Let’s face it: Abuse, or even homosexual acting out with their peers keeps some of the remaining clergy — mainly men who cannot survive in the “real world”, content. The cover-up is necessary to keep a lid on things and the papal hands as white and unblemished as his robes.[/color] And the corruption in the sacred premises is every bit as seedy and degenerate as that in a refugee hellhole.

by Aminu Abu Bakr – 1 hr 17 mins ago



JOS, Nigeria (AFP) – Nigeria's government sent in troops to the flashpoint northern Jos region Monday after attacks by machete-wielding gangs on Christian villages that officials say killed at least 500 people.



Under fire for failing to prevent another outburst of sectarian violence only weeks after hundreds died in Muslim-Christian clashes, authorities said they had arrested scores of people in connection with the attacks.



Witnesses meanwhile described how the mainly women and children victims in Sunday's three-hour systematic orgy of violence were caught in animal traps and fishing nets as they tried to flee their attackers, who hacked them to death.



[color="#0000FF"]The official death toll was initially put at a little over 100 but Dan Manjang, an advisor to the Plateau state government, said the toll had now been raised substantially.[/color]



"We have been able to make 95 arrests but at the same time over 500 people have been killed in this heinous act," Dan Manjang said in a telephone interview.



Government-run radio also reported that 500 people had been slaughtered in a night raid on three villages on the fringes of Jos, capital of Plateau state.



Witnesses and local rights activists put the figure at more than 200.



"By our latest count there are 202 bodies," said Shamaki Gad Peter, head of the League for Human Rights in Jos.



Shehu Sani, another leading rights activist, spoke of 250 people having been killed.



Much of the violence was centred around the village of Dogo Nahawa where gangs from the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group set fire to straw-thatched mud huts before embarking on the killing rampage in the early hours of Sunday.



Frank Tatgun, a resident of Dogo Nahawa, said that he had seen two armoured vehicles and three military trucks arrive in the village and scores of troops were now on patrol.



He reported no new clashes overnight amid the tightened security.



[color="#0000FF"]Locals said that the attacks on Sunday were the result of a spiralling feud between the Fulani and the rival Berom clan which had been first ignited by a theft of cattle and then further fuelled by a deadly revenge attack.[/color]



[color="#0000FF"]Many of the victims in Sunday's attacks were hacked to death as they tried to flee into woodland around their villages.



Witnesses said that armed gangs had scared the victims out of their homes by firing into the air but most of the killings were as a result of machete attacks. Those killed were mainly women and children.[/color]



"Gunshots were fired just to scare people out of their houses only to be macheted as they fled into the bush," Peter Gyang, who lost his wife and two children, told reporters in Dogo Nahawa.



A curfew which was imposed after January's violence was supposed to be still in place but Gyang said that the authorities had done nothing to prevent the bloodshed.



"The operation started around 3:00 am (0200 GMT) and lasted till 6:00 am and there were gunshots, but we did not see a single policeman.



"We no longer have confidence in the security agencies," added Gyang.



[color="#FF0000"]The explosion of violence between rival ethic and religious groups in January left 326 dead in Jos, according to police although religious and human rights activists put the overall toll at more than 550.[/color]



Acting President Goodluck Jonathan's office said that the security services in Plateau and neighbouring states had been placed on red alert to ensure that the violence did not spread.



"He has also directed that the security services undertake strategic initiatives to confront and defeat these roving bands of killers," it added.

Quote:Central Nigeria on red alert after 500 killed

March 8, 2010 - 6:59PM



At least 500 people were killed Sunday in communal clashes near Nigeria's central city of Jos, a state governor's advisor told AFP Monday, revising a previous toll of around 100 dead.



"We have been able to make 95 arrests but at the same time over 500 people have been killed in this heinous act... by Fulani herdsmen," Dan Manjang said in a telephone interview.



Earlier the country's acting president put security forces on alert after machete wielding gangs carried out the massacre close to the city, officials said.



Witnesses described how victims were caught in animal traps and fishing nets as they tried to flee their attackers, who hacked them to death in what appeared to have been a well-organised attack.



Much of the violence in the early hours of Sunday was centred around the village of Dogo Nahawa, near the Jos, where a journalist counted a total of 103 bodies amid the smouldering embers.



But the raiders also set fire to dozens of houses in the nearby villages of Ratsat and Zot, all less than 10 kilometres (seven miles) from Jos and home to members of the Berom ethnic group.



"These villages were attacked by Fulani herdsmen killing scores of people and burning houses," Ratsat resident David Daniel Daniel told AFP.



Other residents and local rights activists also blamed the attacks on the Fulani ethnic group.



[color="#0000FF"]In Jos, Yusuf Alkali, a member of the Fulani ethic group, said he believed the attacks were a reprisal for the killings of four herdsmen two weeks ago when a Fulani settlement was attacked by ethnic Berom youths.[/color]

[color="#800080"](Fulani are an islamised Nigerian community. Berom are a christianised one. Religion Of Eternal Strife kills members of Religion Of Infinite Hate in reprisal.)[/color]



Officials displayed another 18 bodies at the morgue in Jos -- the scene of inter-religious riots in January that left several hundred people dead.



Acting President Goodluck Jonathan "has placed all the security services in Plateau (State) and neighbouring states on red alert so as to stem any cross border dimensions to this latest conflict," his office said in a statement.



"He has also directed that the security services undertake strategic initiatives to confront and defeat these roving bands of killers," it added.



Dan Manjang, an advisor to the Plateau state government confirmed that troops had been deployed to the area.



But traumatised residents accused local officials of having turned a blind eye to the bloodshed.



"The operation started around 3:00 am (0200 GMT) and lasted till 6:00 am and there were gunshots, but we did not see a single policeman," Peter Gyang, who lost his wife and two children, told reporters in Dogo Nahawa.



"We no longer have confidence in the security agencies."



Many of the victims had been hacked to death as they tried to run for their lives, he added.



"Gunshots were fired just to scare people out of their houses only to be macheted as they fled into the bush," he said.



"It seems the attacks were well coordinated as the attackers launched ... (them) simultaneously," Shamaki Gad Peter, head of League for Human Rights in Jos, told AFP as he toured Ratsat village.



Houses and food granaries were still smouldering more than 12 hours after the attacks.



Parts of Jos and its environs are still under a dusk-to-dawn curfew since the January religious clashes.



This central region of Nigeria had been a regular ethnic and religious flashpoint.



An explosion of violence between rival ethic and religious groups in January left 326 dead in Jos, according to police although other human rights activiets put the overall toll at more than 550.

Nigeria's central Plateau State was also quoted on state radio saying 500 people had been massacred in a night raid on three villages on the fringes of Jos.

The attacks, blamed on mainly Muslim nomadic cattle rearers, targeted the local Berom ethnic group, which is predominantly Christian.

Some 500 people are now reported to have been killed in a weekend revenge attack following religious clashes near Nigeria's city of Jos, officials say.



The figure had previously been put at about 100 but it is always difficult to verify casualties. Local officials said dozens of arrests had been made.



They said three mainly Christian villages near Jos were attacked from nearby hills by people with machetes.



There is a long history of local tension between Muslims and Christians.



The attacks are said to have been in revenge for the killing of several hundred people around Jos in January.



Although sectarianism is blamed for such clashes, correspondents say poverty and access to resources such as land often lie at the root of the violence.

The AFP news agency reports that troops and military vehicles have entered the villages, which are now said to be calm.



An adviser to the Christian-dominated Plateau state government, Dan Manjang, told AFP: "We have been able to make 95 arrests but at the same time over 500 people have been killed in this heinous act."



Another Plateau state official, Gregory Yenlong, urged people to "remain calm and be patient as the government steps up security to protect lives and property in this state".



Many of the dead in the villages of Zot and Dogo-Nahawa are reported to be women and children.



Mark Lipdo, from the Christian charity Stefanus Foundation, said the village of Zot had been almost wiped out.

A resident of Dogo-Nahawa said the attackers had fired guns as they entered the village before dawn on Sunday in defiance of a curfew.



"The shooting was just meant to bring people from their houses and then when people came out they started cutting them with machetes," Peter Jang told Reuters news agency.



Some witnesses said villagers were caught in fishing nets and animal traps as they tried to escape and were then hacked to death. Mud huts were also set on fire.



Scores of bodies have been laid out in the streets of the three attacked villages, awaiting mass burials on Monday.

"The situation this morning is gradually returning to normal. There have not been any cases this morning of any destruction or violence," Brigadier Emeka Onwamaegbu said.



Residents reported troops patrolling the streets and calm returning to the city. Offering the first official toll, Plateau State's information minister Nuhu Gagara said about 200 people died during fighting on Friday and Saturday between the rival communities over the results of a local election in the state capital.



Other sources have given a toll twice the official figure.



"This figure is just preliminary, as a search and rescue committee has been inaugurated by the government to go around the city and recover dead bodies," Mr Gagara told reporters. He did not give a figure for the injured.



Police arrested 500 people on Saturday alone, carrying "all sorts of lethal weapons," he said.



A Plateau State government spokesman was quoted in newspapers as saying that 1,500 youths had been arrested over the two days in connection with the violence.



Jos was under tight police and army surveillance on Sunday, military spokesman Onwamaegbu said, while declining to say how many troops had been deployed in the city.



"There have been no reports of violence this morning, the army has taken over the capital but the only fear is what might happen at the outskirts of the town," Muslim cleric Adamu Tsoho said.



Relief workers and observers offered markedly higher death tolls than the government's preliminary estimates.



[color="#0000FF"]"Well over 300 people have been killed in the last two days of violence," one Nigerian Red Cross official told AFP, asking to remain anonymous.



Khaled Abubakar, an imam from the central mosque in Jos said Saturday that "close on 400 bodies" had been laid out in the mosque.



"Muslim prayers were observed on 351 dead bodies at the central mosque and then taken to the cemetery where they are being buried," Tsoho, the other cleric, said.



Another 30 bodies had been removed from the mosque Saturday night by relatives and had been buried.

Quote:More than 150 feared dead in Islamist attacks in Nigeria

More than 150 have been killed in northern Nigeria in [color="#0000FF"]violent attacks carried out over two days by Islamist insurgents styling themselves on the Taliban[/color].





By Mike Pflanz, West Africa Correspondent

Published: 9:32PM BST 27 Jul 2009



Trouble began on Sunday when militants attacked a police station in the northern city of Bauchi, leaving dozens dead in gunbattles with police.



Armed fundamentalists staged further shootouts with security forces on Monday, setting alight two police stations, a church and a customs building in three towns in the country's majority Muslim north.



A BBC reporter counted 100 bodies in Maiduguri, capital of Borno state, where police were still fighting militants late on Monday night.



Nigeria has been sporadically wracked by sectarian clashes since 12 of the country's 36 states began adopting Islamic law, or Sharia, in the north in 1999.



[color="#0000FF"]This week's co-ordinated attacks were carried out by a hardline Islamist group of former students calling itself Boko Haram, loosely translated as "education is sin", which models itself on the Taliban.[/color]

[color="#800080"](Rather like how the early christo-converts in the Roman Empire and their successors claimed that education being paganism was hence 'satanism', sciences/maths were the devil and mathematicians were sorcerers.

Spot the difference. What difference? Exactly.)[/color]



Its leader, Ustaz Muhammed Yusuf, said the raids followed arrests of his supporters during the last week.



"We will not agree with this kind of humiliation, we are ready to die together with our brothers and we would never concede to non-belief in Allah," he told Nigeria's Daily Trust newspaper.



[color="#0000FF"]He and his followers are fighting for strict Islamic sharia law to be expanded from Nigeria's 12 northern majority-Muslim across the whole of Africa's most populous nation.[/color]

[color="#800080"](Africa for christ vs Africa for allah.

Heathens can't tell the difference: mass-genocide in Uganda by the Lords army (christist) vs mass-genocide in Sudan by the new commanders of the faithful (islamist).

Plus christoislamaniacs murder each other in Nigeria.)[/color]



Western-style education should be scrapped or the attacks would continue, Mr Yusuf warned. There is no known connection between his group and Islamist insurgents in Afghanistan.



"Democracy and the current system of education must be changed otherwise this war that is yet to start would continue for long," he said.



The organisation has very little support among Nigeria's 65 million mainstream Muslims, who make up about half of the population.



Mr Yusuf and his followers have been barred from neighbourhood mosques.

Around 70 fighters from the fundamentalist group armed with guns and grenades attacked a police station in Nigeria's northern Bauchi state early on Sunday, but retreated after officers opened fire.



"Our men succeeded in repelling the dawn attack by the Taliban," Mohammed Barau, Bauchi state police spokesman, told AFP, adding that it appeared the assailants "wanted to steal weapons from the police station".



"We have launched a manhunt for other members of the group that have fled," Mr Barau added.



Hospital sources and witnesses said more than 50 people were killd in the fighting. Police arrested up to 200 people living close to the targeted police station.



The Nigerian Taliban is inspired by the Afghan militia but has no known direct connection.



[color="#0000FF"]The group is made up of former students who want hardline Islamic sharia to be the dominant legal system across all of Nigeria.[/color] [color="#FF0000"]Africa's[/color] [color="#0000FF"]most populous nation[/color] [color="#FF0000"]is made up of roughly equal numbers of Christians and Muslims.[/color]



A member of the gang who was wounded during the initial attack on the police station told Reuters the group wanted to "clean the (Nigerian) system which is polluted by Western education and uphold sharia all over the country."



"The police has been [sic] arresting our leaders that is why we decided to retaliate," said the man, who gave his name only as Abdullah.



The north of the country is majority Muslim, and has progressively ushered in a stricter enforcement of Islamic law since 2000.

Quote:US man who posted 'Elton John must die' arrested

ATLANTA

A man who posted a video of himself on the Internet holding a sign that said " Elton John must die" has been arrested for making terroristic threats.



Neal Horsley, 65, was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, Georgia, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say whom Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley's son, Nathan, said he thought the arrest was connected to the video about the musician.



[color="#FF0000"]In the video posted Feb. 28 on YouTube, Horsley held the sign in front of a building where he said John has a condo.[/color] John's publicist, Fran Curtis, confirmed that John has an Atlanta apartment but declined further comment.

Horsley was upset that John, who is gay, told Parade magazine in an interview last month that he thought Jesus was a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."



[color="#0000FF"]"What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ," Horsley said in the video.[/color]



[color="#FF0000"]Horsley founded the Creator's Rights Party and has declared himself a candidate in the 2010 governor's race.[/color] He kicked off his campaign July 4, 2008 in downtown Carrollton, wearing a placard showing the head of an aborted fetus while singing an anti- abortion song.



The state ethics commission, which oversees election filings, has no record of Horsley's campaign.



He previously gained notoriety in the late 1990s for his role in establishing a Web site that published the names and addresses of doctors who performed abortions. Planned Parenthood officials called the site a "hit list for terrorists."

[color="#800080"](Note how, again, he was instructing other faithful christian cannibal sheep on where to find the targets to kill them. Same as he has done with fingerpointing the location of Elton John to fellow christians=terrorists.)[/color]



Fulton County jail records showed Horsley also faces charges of criminal defamation and disseminating terroristic threats over the Internet.



He was being held Thursday in the Fulton County jail on $40,000 bond. As conditions for his release, a judge said he must live with his son in a house with a phone landline and must pay 10 percent of his bond in cash.



Horsley's son said his father doesn't have an attorney.
