BREAKING NEWS! Pope announces resignation, will step down at end of February

Pope Benedict XVI is stepping down from his role at the end of the month, citing his age and failing health as the reasons for his decision.

The decision marks the first time in more than 500 years that a sitting pontiff has left his position voluntarily.

Benedict told cardinals at the Vatican on Monday he will leave his post on Feb. 28, "with full freedom," reportedly saying "my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry."

BREAKING - Syrian security forces kill up to 100 people near Hama

The Syrian opposition claims that as many as 100 people have been killed by government forces in the Hama region. The Syrian government claims terrorists are responsible for the slayings.

Reports from the Free Syrian Army, the Local Coordination Committees, Syrian National Council and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights differ on the exact number of casualties.

The Syrian government called the Hama massacre a “monstrous crime,” and said its special forces were in the area to combat the “terrorists” behind the killings, according to Syrian State TV. Authorities reported that all of the militants have been killed, with Syrian forces seizing weapons including rocket-propelled grenades.

Women and children are reported to be among the dead. A spokesperson for the Syrian National Council said as many as 100 people died in the massacre, which took place in the villages of Mazraat al-Qubair and Maarzaf, the BBC reports.

Commentary: Roman Catholic Church on its "last legs"

COMMENTARY | The Catholic Church is hammering so many nails into its own coffin that even an outside observer like me is left shaking his head at the ridiculous behavior of its leadership. TheVatican (generally meaning "the Pope") is angry with nuns for their behavior, and Cardinal Dolanfrom the New York Archdiocese is embroiled in yet another pedophile priest scandal. Let's look at how the two situations prove the Catholic Church is on its last legs.

List of Americans This Weekend At Chantilly Bilderberg meeting

Some say it's just an annual event where the richest and most powerful people in the world can schmooze in private, while others claim earth-shaking decisions are being made there – in secret. 

Whatever it is, it's taking place this week in the quiet suburbs near Dulles International Airport at the Westfields Marriott Convention Center in Chantilly, Va. – the same place it was held four years ago when rumors circulated that it was determined there that Barack Obama would be the Democratic presidential nominee, not Hillary Clinton. Two days after the event, Hillary bowed out of the race.


I can remember listening to David Rockefeller describe the intent of the organization - to decide who runs the world.

Youtube Inadvertently HELPING Christian Outreach by Closing Controversial Accounts

After "terminating" mega-popular channels like drcraigvideos (home channel for Dr William Lane Craig) and PPSIMMONS (which was found to be wrongfully terminated and hence reinstated), youtube has now shut down a pro-traditional family video called  "Homosexual Marriage (WARNING!) Look to Canada – (BdeanSonsofLiberty)".


The video explains how in Canada homeschooling parents are forbidden from teaching their children during school time that homosexuality is a sin – and government officials openly proclaim that they will not tolerate such biblical opinions.

That kind of invasion of a private home by the government, the video explains, is what could be approaching for the U.S. “The government is trying to control what and how we teach our children,” the video explains.

Now, the content of the video is being talked about, shared on many social networking sites, and viewed by countless people thanks to news stories (like this one) being run on major news sites like WND, CarlGallups.com,  Onenewsnow.com, and many more.

Had youtube simply left it alone much less fuss would have been made about this atrocity. Now it seems the message of the video will go viral... all thanks to the blatant discriminatory practices at youtube. How ironic that the attempt by flaggers to shut the message down would be directly responsible for the message spreading around the world. Here is the video.

Keith Olbermann Loses Another Job After Attacking Carl Gallups

photo: theangryrepublican

Coincidence? Well, that depends on who you talk to. Back when Keith Olbermann was an anchor on MSNBC he attacked Pastor Carl Gallups by name, calling him the second worst person on earth.

Gallups, who made a video detailing a possible connection between the Gulf oil disaster and Israel (judgement against the US for failing to side with Israel) was cited by Olbermann on his television show and labeled the second worst person on earth.

Now, try to keep up here because it can get a little complicated. Carl Gallups made a possible connection between not supporting Israel and judgement against America. Following that, Keith Olbermann attacked Gallups on air. Following that, Olbermann was FIRED from MSNBC! Irony?

Fast forward to today, or rather, last Friday. Following his termination from MSNBC Keith Olbermann was hired by Al Gore for an anchor job on Current TV - a network few people have heard of and even fewer people watch. On Friday Mar 30 it was confirmed that Olbermann has been DISMISSED from Current TV. His career appears to have hit rock bottom - or there abouts. Was it something he said? Was God defending His "anointed". Should Olbermann sue the Almighty for destroying his career?

This is all very "tongue in cheek" on one level and very serious on another. On one hand we are merely speculating - putting pieces of the puzzle together and coming up with a bizarre picture showing a man reaping a harvest he apparently sowed himself by attacking a minister of the Gospel and subsequently driving his career off the cliff. Did God have a hand in this? Or did Keith simply fall victim of the ultimate reality - that most Americans have a healthy fear of God, they love their country, and the facts of life are conservative.

Since most people don`t agree with Olbermann and therefore do not take him seriously, look for him at your nearest comedy club doing stand-up - where everyone loves a good joke.

Foul-mouthed Atheist Bill Maher Calls for "National Day" to Honor his Depravity

(Photo by genehaasdraws.com)

Caught in a swamp of hypocrisy Bill Maher has posted an op-ed in the New York Times calling for a truce; a national day of "no outrage" to deflect attention away from his remarks concerning conservative women in the past; remarks which far exceed those of Rush Limbaugh in terms of decorum.

Limbaugh, who called a woman a "slut" for wanting the government to "pay her to have sex" by providing her with tax-funded contraceptives, apologized for the remarks shortly after citing a brief borrowing from liberal mentalities when he made the remark.

Bill Maher, on the other hand, is on record calling Sarah Palin a "c**t" saying there's just no other word to describe her and has yet to apologize at all. Instead Maher is calling for a national day to honor his type of degenerate opining.

“Let’s have an amnesty — from the left and the right — on every made-up, fake, totally insincere, playacted hurt, insult, slight and affront,” Maher wrote. “Let’s make this Sunday the National Day of No Outrage. One day a year when you will not find some tiny thing someone did or said and pretend you can barely continue functioning until they apologize.”

“When did we get it in our heads that we have the right to never hear anything we don’t like?” he wrote, adding that “If you see or hear something you don’t like in the media, just go on with your life. Turn the page or flip the dial or pick up your roll of quarters and leave the booth.”

Umm... no. Maher is simply deflecting attention from his foul, atheistic form of debating in the arena of ideas; a typical method of linguistic manipulation in lieu of any real substantive position on which to base a worldview.

Atheism is a mental disorder, plain and simple. And Maher is no different than any other, past or present. He panders to the depravity which continues to plague humanity; a religious adherence to something. Anything!

,

In Mike Shoesmith's book, "The Atheists are Wrong" he explains in graphic detail why Bill Maher cannot be trusted in the arena of ideas... much like any person suffering from a mental disorder cannot. Get you copy today!

Breitbart Could have been Murdered - Here's how!

The Los Angeles County coroner's office will review the death of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who collapsed and died Thursday while taking a nighttime walk near his Westwood home on possible suspicion of assassination.

But even if they found out he did have a heart attack will that be the end of the matter? Not so much. A CIA secret weapon used for assassination shoots a small poison dart to cause a heart attack, as explained in Congressional testimony in the short video below.

The dart from this secret CIA weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target.

The lethal poison then rapidly enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the damage is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is very unlikely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes. Sounds like the perfect James Bond weapon, doesn't it? Yet this is all verifiable in Congressional testimony.

Could this or a similar secret weapon have been used, for instance, in the recent death of 52-year-old Mark Pittman, a reporter who predicted the financial crisis and exposed Federal Reserve misdoings? Pittman, whose fight to open the Federal Reserve to more scrutiny led Bloomberg News to sue the central bank and win, allegedly died of a heart attack.

And now most recently Andrew Breitbart died during a late night stroll and who recently posted pictures and video footage of President Barack Obama hangin’ with the Black Panthers.

Here is a video, as promised, of testimony of a gun that would shoot a dart at very high speed without detection, and mimic a heart attack without detection from a coroner. Could this be how Obama's people silenced Andrew Breitbart?

There are MANY articles online written by many various authors who corroborate this story. Do the research. Know the facts. The following video could explain it all. A speech from Breitbart in which he promised to expose and "vet" Barack Obama.

Daily Mail caught RECYCLING THE NEWS on US missiles hitting IRAN!

Today, Dec 22 2011, The Daily Mail reported that US and British missiles had hit a village in Iran; wounding three. People reported to us that the story sounded eerily familiar and sure enough - it wasn't news at all!

USA Today reported almost the same exact story in 2003 - when the war was only two days old. The USA Today story, dated Mar 22 2003 came from reports out of IRNA and include a very specific account of three persons being wounded. Today's report from the Daily Mail gives the same number and describes very similar event dynamics.

From the USA Today story of 2003:

At least three people were injured, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.

Fro the Daily Mail story dated Dec 22, 2011:

IRNA had said yesterday that three people were injured when an earlier US missile struck an oil depot in Abadan.

So it appears that either the Daily Mail has some incredibly gullible reporters over there who are simply taking dictation from Iran without checking the facts or they have been caught recycling the news to get hits to their Google ads. Either way their credibility has taken a huge hit with this one.
