North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has hailed the troops from his country who fought alongside Russia in Kursk a year ago, state media KCNA said on Monday. Kim made his remarks after a Russian delegation arrived in Pyongyang to attend the opening ceremony of a memorial complex honouring those killed helping Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. In 2024 Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into the Kursk region, capturing more than 1,000 sq km (386 sq miles) of Russian land, but were ultimately pushed back.

During discussions in Pyongyang, Russia and North Korea agreed to “long-term” military cooperation. Moscow’s defence minister Andrey Belousov said “We agreed with the DPRK defence ministry to place our military cooperation on a stable, long-term footing,” The agreement will cover 2027-2031, he said. North Korea has sent thousands of troops – as well as missiles and munitions – to support Russia’s war in Ukraine. In return, analysts say North Korea is receiving financial aid, military technology, food and energy from Russia.

Kim said his government “would continue to fully support Russia’s policies of defending its sovereignty, territorial integrity and security interests”, KCNA reported. Kim has steadily moved to elevate the North Korean troops who fought for Russia in the Kursk region into symbols of sacrifice and loyalty, using state ceremonies and memorial projects to publicly honour their role. “The souls of the fallen will live forever with the great honour they defended,” Kim said in a handwritten message at the memorial on Sunday, according to state media.

Meanwhile, strikes across Ukraine, Russian-occupied territory and Russia over the past day killed at least 16 people, authorities said. Russian drone and missile strikes on the city of Dnipro killed at least nine, regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said. One man was killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the port city of Sevastopol, in Russian-occupied Crimea, Moscow-installed authorities said.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of “nuclear terrorism” as he marked the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl reactor disaster on Sunday. Zelensky said Russia was “again bringing the world to the brink of a man-made disaster”. He said Russian drones regularly pass over Chornobyl and one had hit its protective shell last year.

Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), echoed Zelenskyy’s concerns over Chornobyl during a visit to Kyiv, saying repairs to the plant’s damaged outer protective shell must begin immediately. IAEA assessments show the damage sustained after a strike last year has already compromised a key safety function of the structure, he said. He warned years of inaction could heighten danger to the original sarcophagus beneath it. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said repairs would require at least 500 million euros ($586m).

Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, deep inside Russian territory, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Sunday. The strikes sparked fires at the facility, which processes 15m tons of oil a year and produces gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for the Russian military. Russia did not immediately comment. Ukraine has developed its own long-range drones, which can reach targets 1,500km (900 miles) inside Russia.

A Ukrainian drone attack also hit a fertiliser plant in Russia’s Vologda region, local governor Georgy Filimonov said on Sunday. Filimonov said a high-pressure sulphuric acid pipeline was damaged at a complex operated by Apatit, a subsidiary of PhosAgro, one of the world’s largest producers of phosphate-based fertilisers. The leak has been contained and there were no releases of hazardous chemicals, he said, adding that five people were injured.

Donald Trump said on Sunday he has had “good conversations” with Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy as he aims to settle the Ukraine war. “We’re working on the Russia situation, Russia and Ukraine, and hopefully we’re going to get it,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News. Ukrainian peace talks have stalled since the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on 28 February.

On Seminary Education: "I was educated in a religious seminary, where I learned the methods of the Jesuits," (often cited in anti-communist literature describing his early life, though technically referring to Orthodox training in Tiflis).

The suppression of the Society of Jesus was the removal of all members of the Jesuits from most of Western Europe and their respective colonies beginning in 1759 along with the abolition of the order by the Holy See in 1773; the papacy acceded to anti-Jesuit demands without much resistance. The Jesuits were serially expelled from the Portuguese Empire (1759), France (1764), the Kingdom of Naples and Kingdom of Sicily, Malta, Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, the Spanish Empire (1767) and Austria and Hungary (1782).[1]

Historians identify multiple factors causing the suppression. The Jesuits, who were not above getting involved in politics, were distrusted for their closeness to the pope and his power in independent nations' religious and political affairs. In France, it was a combination of many influences, from Jansenism to free-thought, to the then-prevailing impatience with the Ancien Régime.[2] Monarchies attempting to centralise and secularise political power viewed the Jesuits as supranational, too strongly allied to the papacy, and too autonomous from the monarchs in whose territory they operated.[3]

With his papal brief Dominus ac Redemptor (21 July 1773), Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society as a fait accompli. However, the order did not disappear. It continued underground operations in China, Russia, Prussia, and the United States. In Russia, Catherine the Great allowed the founding of a new novitiate.[4] In 1814, a subsequent pope, Pius VII, acted to restore the Society of Jesus to its previous provinces, and the Jesuits began to resume their work in those countries.[5]

The Capetian dynasty (/kəˈpiːʃən/; French: Capétiens), also known as the House of France, is a dynasty of Frankish origin, and a branch of the Robertians. It is among the largest and oldest royal houses in Europe and the world, and consists of Hugh Capet, the founder of the dynasty, and his male-line descendants, who ruled in France without interruption from 987 to 1792, and again from 1814 to 1848.

Clovis, Louis, and Luigi are all linguistic variations stemming from the same Old German name, Chlodowig or Chlodovech (meaning "famous warrior").

Pope Pius VII (Italian: Pio VII; born Barnaba Niccolò Maria Luigi Chiaramonti;[a] 14 August 1742 – 20 August 1823) was head of the Catholic Church from 14 March 1800 to his death in August 1823. He was the leader of the Papal States from June 1800 to 17 May 1809 and again from 1814 to his death. Chiaramonti was also a monk of the Order of Saint Benedict in addition to being a well-known theologian and bishop.

Chiaramonti was made Bishop of Tivoli in 1782, and resigned that position upon his appointment as Bishop of Imola in 1785. That same year, he was made a cardinal. In 1789, the French Revolution took place, and as a result a series of anti-clerical governments came into power in the country. In 1798,[1] during the French Revolutionary Wars, French troops under Louis-Alexandre Berthier invaded Rome and captured Pope Pius VI, taking him as a prisoner to France, where he died in 1799. The following year, after a sede vacante period lasting approximately six months, Chiaramonti was elected to the papacy, taking the name Pius VII.

Pius at first attempted to take a cautious approach in dealing with Napoleon. With him he signed the Concordat of 1801, through which he succeeded in guaranteeing religious freedom for Catholics living in France, and was present at his coronation as Emperor of the French in 1804. In 1809, however, during the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon once again invaded the Papal States, resulting in his excommunication through the papal bull Quum memoranda. Pius VII was taken prisoner and transported to France. He remained there until 1814 when, after the French were defeated, he was permitted to return to Italy, where he was greeted warmly as a hero and defender of the faith.

Pius lived the remainder of his life in relative peace. His papacy saw a significant growth of the Catholic Church in the United States, where Pius established several new dioceses. Pius VII died in 1823 at age 81.

In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI began the beatification process, and Pius VII was granted the title Servant of God.

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday 18 June 1815, near Waterloo (then in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, now in Belgium), marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The French Imperial Army under the command of Napoleon I was defeated by two armies of the Seventh Coalition. One was a British-led force with units from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick, and Nassau, under the command of field marshal Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. The other comprised three corps of the Prussian army under Field Marshal Blücher. The battle was known contemporaneously as the Battle of Mont Saint-Jean in France (after the hamlet of Mont-Saint-Jean) and La Belle Alliance in Prussia ("the Beautiful Alliance"; after the inn of La Belle Alliance).[18]

Upon Napoleon's return to power in March 1815, the beginning of the Hundred Days, many states that had previously opposed him formed the Seventh Coalition to oppose him again, and hurriedly mobilised their armies. Wellington's and Blücher's armies were cantoned close to the northeastern border of France. Napoleon planned to attack them separately, before they could link up and invade France with other members of the coalition. On 16 June, Napoleon successfully attacked the bulk of the Prussian Army at the Battle of Ligny with his main force, while a small portion of the French Imperial Army contested the Battle of Quatre Bras to prevent the Anglo-allied army from reinforcing the Prussians. The Anglo-allied army held their ground at Quatre Bras but were prevented from reinforcing the Prussians, and on the 17th, the Prussians withdrew from Ligny in good order, while Wellington then withdrew in parallel with the Prussians northward to Waterloo on 17 June. Napoleon sent a third of his forces to pursue the Prussians, which resulted in the separate Battle of Wavre with the Prussian rear-guard on 18–19 June and prevented that French force from participating at Waterloo.

Upon learning that the Prussian Army was able to support him, Wellington decided to offer battle on the Mont-Saint-Jean[19] escarpment across the Brussels Road, near the village of Waterloo. Here he withstood repeated attacks by the French throughout the afternoon of 18 June,[20] and was eventually aided by the progressively arriving 50,000 Prussians who attacked the French flank and inflicted heavy casualties. In the evening, Napoleon assaulted the Anglo-allied line with his last reserves, the senior infantry battalions of the Imperial Guard. With the Prussians breaking through on the French right flank, the Anglo-allied army repulsed the Imperial Guard, and the French army was routed.

Waterloo was the decisive engagement of the Waterloo campaign and Napoleon's last. It was the second-bloodiest single day battle of the Napoleonic Wars, after Borodino. According to Wellington, the battle was "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life".[21] Napoleon abdicated four days later, and coalition forces entered Paris on 7 July. The defeat at Waterloo marked the end of Napoleon's Hundred Days return from exile. It precipitated Napoleon's second and definitive abdication as Emperor of the French, and ended the First French Empire. It set a historical milestone between serial European wars and decades of relative peace, often referred to as the Pax Britannica. In popular culture, the phrase "meeting one's Waterloo" has become an expression for experiencing a catastrophic reversal or undoing.[22][23]

During the American Civil War (1861–1865), Imperial Russia provided significant, albeit primarily diplomatic and strategic, support to the Union. In 1863, the Russian Empire deployed its Atlantic and Pacific fleets to New York and San Francisco, respectively, which served as a crucial check on British and French consideration of intervention on behalf of the Confederacy.

YouTube

Key Aspects of Russian Support

Strategic Fleet Deployment (1863–1864): In September and October 1863, Russian naval squadrons, under Admirals Stepan Lesovsky and Andrey Popov, arrived in American ports. This deployment was largely kept secret until arrival, creating a "demonstration of friendship" for the Lincoln administration.

Deterrence of European Intervention: Britain and France, who were sympathetic to the Confederacy due to economic interests (cotton) and a desire to see a divided America, were actively contemplating intervention. The presence of the Russian navy hinted at an alliance between the Union and Russia, suggesting that any attack on the North might trigger a war with Russia, which was the main European rival of Britain.

Geopolitical Self-Interest: Russia supported the Union partly out of self-interest. They were facing a Polish uprising and feared war with Britain and France. By sending their fleet to American ports, they avoided having their ships trapped in the Baltic Sea and placed them in a position to threaten British trade routes in the Atlantic and Pacific if war broke out.

"Strange Bedfellows" Alignment: Despite the contrast between Russian absolutism and American democracy, both nations viewed each other as valuable partners in a shifting balance of power, with Russia desiring a unified America to serve as a counterbalance to British maritime and commercial superiority.

Reception and Solidarity: The Russian fleet was welcomed with enthusiasm in New York, with celebrations that included receptions and parades. Russian sailors in San Francisco also famously assisted in fighting a major fire, further strengthening public affection for the Russian visitors.

Conclusion on Impact

While historians note that the Russian fleet might not have been a match for the combined British and French navies in a direct battle, its presence was interpreted as a sign of solidarity with the Union. This unexpected arrival provided a needed boost to Northern morale and effectively deterred Britain and France from formally joining the Confederate side, contributing to the Union's eventual victory.

The Perestroika Deception: Memoranda to the Central Intelligence Agency is a 1995 book by Anatoliy Golitsyn, a former KGB counterintelligence officer, who argued that the Soviet Union's reforms under Gorbachev were a long-term strategic deception to achieve communist world domination through "convergence" with the West. Golitsyn claimed this was part of a Leninist strategy to create a new world order under a communist-controlled United Nations, building on his earlier work, New Lies for Old, which accurately predicted the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe.

Author: Anatoliy Golitsyn, a former KGB officer who defected to the West.

Publication: 1995.

Core Argument: The "reforms" of Perestroika were a calculated deception by the KGB to lull the West into a false sense of security, leading to a "convergence" of systems and ultimately a communist world government.

Context: It followed his earlier book, New Lies for Old, which had correctly predicted the fall of communism in the late 1980s, lending credibility to his claims about the deception.

Historians in the 19th century (see House of France) came to apply the name "Capetian" to both the ruling house of France and to the wider-spread male-line descendants of Hugh Capet. It was not a contemporary practice. The name "Capet" has also been used as a surname for French royalty, particularly but not exclusively those of the House of Capet. One notable use was during the French Revolution, when the dethroned King Louis XVI (a member of the House of Bourbon and a direct male-line descendant of Hugh Capet) was referred to as Citizen Capet at his trial. His wife, Queen Marie Antoinette (a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine) were referred to as "Antoinette Capet" (the queen being addressed as "the Widow Capet" after the execution of her husband).

"Datalore" is the thirteenth episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, originally aired on January 18, 1988, in broadcast syndication. The story was created by Robert Lewin and Maurice Hurley, and turned into a script by Lewin and the creator of the show, Gene Roddenberry. It was Roddenberry's final script credit on a Star Trek series. The director was originally to be Joseph L.

Sion had not altered its plan to capture the French throne for the House of Lorraine since its

failure during the Religious Wars. It met only with partial success under Weishaupt. The French

Revolution did dethrone the Bourbons, as Sion desired. The King of Jerusalem dynasty,

however, was unable to ascend the French throne after the Revolution destroyed the monarchy.

This intrigue, with its counter-intrigues, seemed to blend Rosicrucianism and Templarism.

Hence, conspiracy researchers have not understood the dual conflict within the French

Revolution and they have misconstrued the French Masonic conspiracy as a continuation of

Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati plot. On the other hand, opponents of conspiracy theory view the

Illuminati as non-existent after 1785, since in that year it was exposed by the Bavarian

government and ordered to disband. What actually happened is not immediately apparent. Sion

and the Temple, however, had other plans for the Illuminati on another continent in a new world.

The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for Prayer and Study for Peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Springlake, New Jersey, in a mansion overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company. Richard Nixon was a frequent visitor. Directors of the Center were Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary General of the United Nations and ex-nazi war criminal; Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission; Clare Booth Luce, a dame of the Knights of Malta; and J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace Company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States. The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope's new peace plan, which will bring the world together (see my paper "The Secret Government"). The Center has two roles:

(1) Educate Catholics and their children to accept the New World Order.

(2) Provide residence for the world-peace-solution computer and an ongoing study for peaceful solutions to any future problems which may endanger world peace. The computer is hooked to the world capitals via satellite. All nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New World Order is publicly announced. I believe that the New World Order was born in secrecy on January 19,1989. Now you know.

SpaceX to use LG Energy batteries for Starship rocket

The supply deal raises expectations of LG being chosen as a battery supplier for Tesla's humanoid robots

By Sang-hoon Sung and Hyung-Kyu Kim

November 11, 2024

Spacecraft manufacturer SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, will use LG Energy Solution Ltd.'s batteries for its next-generation Starship rocket, marking its first long-term battery purchase from a third-party company, according to industry sources on Sunday.

The US company recently inked a contract with LG Energy for cylindrical lithium-ion batteries tailored to the Starship flight, expected to launch as early as 2025, the sources told The Korea Economic Daily.

The batteries are said to be used for primary and backup power supply, as well as energy storage systems.

The size and value of the supply have not been disclosed.

Previously, LG Energy had supplied batteries for SpaceX’s spacecraft in one-time deals.

SpaceX has relied mainly on self-made batteries for its flight vehicles. But as the frequency of its rocket launches increases, it has decided to turn to third-party manufacturers of high-safety batteries with a longer lifespan.

Starship is designed to be reusable much like an airplane, which can be refueled and take off again after each landing. In its first test flight in 2023, it proved to be the most massive and powerful vehicle ever to fly.

The supply contract with SpaceX will diversify LG Energy’s business beyond electric vehicle batteries and expand its partnership with companies led by Elon Musk. It supplies batteries to Tesla Inc., the world’s largest EV maker.

The South Korean company has identified the space business as a new growth engine and is developing batteries and energy storage systems suitable for spaceships and spacesuits.

In 2023, it supplied spacesuit batteries to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In 2025, it will ship batteries for NASA’s lunar electric rover, a battery-powered rover used on the moon.

Industry officials said the supply deals with SpaceX and Tesla would raise the chances of LG Energy being chosen as a battery supplier for Tesla’s humanoid robots, which are capable of performing unsafe and repetitive tasks.

When aked about the possibility of its batteries being used for humanoid robots, LG Energy said: “We can’t confirm contracts with our customers.”

South Korea Investment Still Just a Dream

Published: 05 Jan. 2003, 18:20

A year has passed since President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il held the first-ever summit meeting between North and South Korea.

South Korean corporations wholeheartedly welcomed the historic talks, thinking it could give them the inside track to the North's human and natural resources, as well as its market.

At the end of last year, the two Koreas reached a series of agreements on double tax prevention, investment guarantees, dispute resolution mechanisms and payment clearance. The agreements are awaiting ratification by the National Assembly.

But economic cooperation between the two Koreas has brought no more than a trickle of investment in the North. Not a single direct investment has been made between the two countries since the summit. In fact, most South Korean companies are cautious about getting too deeply involved with Pyongyang.

"We are not expanding our business projects in North Korea because inter-Korean relations are unstable and North Korea's intentions are unclear," said an official of LG Electronics Inc., which is leading the LG Group's North Korean project.

According to the Ministry of Unification, 152 South Korean companies are operating original equipment manufacturers in the North. Some small and medium-sized South Korean companies are expanding their role there, and corporations that received direct investment permits before the summit have completed their manufacturing plants there.

The Unification Church completed an auto repair factory near Pyongyang last September, and Taechang has opened a mineral water factory near Mount Kumgang.

And some other companies, while still not willing to invest directly in the North, are continuing to expand their interests there.

Sungnam Electronics Co. completed a light-bulb factory in Pyongyang last month. The company, which has been importing 1.5 million audio tapes every month from its Pyongyang plant, is also negotiating with North Korean authorities to start selling its tapes in the North.

Korea Core Co. set up a plant in North Korea last October that makes key parts for electricity converters. Elcanto, which produces some 10,000 shoes in North Korea every month, is also considering making handbags, purses and belts there, company officials said.

Cooperation in the information technology, or IT, field is also picking up.

Song Hye-ja, president of Wooam.com, a communication solutions provider, visited Pyongyang in March and discussed cooperation with the Choson Computer Center. The company set up a teleconferencing facility in Pyongyang in April. The South Korean government recently designated two companies, Hanabiz.com and Ntrak, as North-South IT cooperation companies.

Revelation 17:16 The ten Kings as verse 12. The accomplishment of this fact and event, is daily increased in this our age by the singular providence and most mighty government of God. Wherefore the facts are propounded in this verse, and the cause of them in the verses following.

Revelation 17:17 A reason rendered from the chief efficient cause, which is the providence of God, by which alone S. John by inversion of order affirmeth to have come to pass, both that the Kings should execute upon the harlot, that which pleased God, and which he declared in the verse next beforegoing: and also that by one consent and counsel, they should give their kingdom unto the beast, etc., verses 13, 14. For as these being blinded have before depended upon the beck of the beast that lifteth up the harlot, so it is said that afterward it shall come to pass, that they shall turn back, and shall fall away from her when their hearts shall be turned into better state by the grace and mercy of God.

One of the most damaging episodes described by Knight was that of a KGB agent turning master spies Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, and Guy Burgess into double agents for Russia. Knight suggests this transformation was accomplished through Freemasonry. The intelligence world was shocked when these three men defected to Russia in 1952 and 1962. It was discovered 30 years too late that Philby, while head of a division in MIS (initials for Mission Impossible, division No. 5), was also a high-ranking KGB agent. The irony in this story is that Philby remained on the British intelligence payroll after defection.41 He died in Moscow, November 5, 1988- taking to the grave his reason for defecting.42

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex[fn 2] (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984) is a member of the British royal family. He is the younger son of King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales, and is fifth in the line of succession to the British throne.

Harry was educated at Wetherby School, Ludgrove School, and Eton College, before completing officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He was commissioned as a cornet in the Blues and Royals and served briefly alongside his elder brother, William, Prince of Wales. He was deployed twice on active service in Afghanistan: for ten weeks in Helmand Province during 2007–2008, and for twenty weeks with the Army Air Corps in 2012–2013. Inspired by the Warrior Games in the United States, Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 and remains actively involved as its patron. In 2016, together with his brother William and sister-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, he co-founded the mental health awareness initiative Heads Together.

In 2018, Harry was created Duke of Sussex ahead of his wedding to American actress Meghan Markle. The couple have two children, Archie and Lilibet. In January 2020, Harry and Meghan stepped back from their roles as working members of the royal family and relocated to Southern California. They subsequently established Archewell Inc., a Beverly Hills–based organisation encompassing both commercial and charitable ventures. In March 2021, Harry and Meghan gave a widely publicised interview to Oprah Winfrey on Oprah with Meghan and Harry. In December 2022, they appeared in the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan. In 2023, Harry published his memoir, Spare.

In 1775 the Swiss lodges transferred their allegiance from English Masonry to the German Strict Observance. Under Napoleon the French Grand Orient invaded Switzerland, and a certain number of existing lodges came under its obedience. Geneva was ceded to France during the wars of Napoleon, and Swiss Masonry then became an appendage of the French Grand Orient. In 1818, as demanded by London, English Masonic obedience began to replace the Grand Orients, except in Geneva where the aristocracy permitted one Grand Orient Lodge to function.69

From the founding of the US to the Boer wars in South Africa and from the 20th Century’s two world wars to the Swiss Guard that protects the Pope, the Swiss Octagon Templars have capitalised on the guise of neutrality to set the stage for a New World Order takeover in which we are all sacrificial pawns in their pursuit of absolute power.

Neutral? Don’t you believe it, their militia system is formidable but the state cannot be seen to get involved in external conflict. However, as well-trained fighters, there is still a place for Swiss mercenaries in the world of private security and as agents of the Federal Intelligence Service and Military Intelligence Service of the Swiss Octagon Templars!

Wonder what happened to all the Nazi loot from World War II? Access to some of Switzerland’s secret vaults could provide answers and offer some indication as to how Adolph Hitler rose to power in Germany and how Swiss neutrality served the Third Reich and paved the way for the Fourth Reich to up sticks to the United States to continue the New World Order’s march to world domination.

The Pontifical Swiss Guard,[note 1] also known as the Papal Swiss Guard or simply Swiss Guard,[3] is an armed forces, guard of honour, and protective security unit, maintained by the Holy See to protect the Pope and the Apostolic Palace within the territory of the Vatican City State. Established in 1506 under Pope Julius II, it is among the oldest military units in continuous operation[4] and is sometimes called "the world's smallest army".[3]

The Swiss Guard is recognised by its Renaissance-era dress uniform, consisting of a tunic striped in red, dark blue, and yellow; high plumed helmet; and traditional weapons such as the halberd. Guardsmen perform their protective duties in functional attire and with modern firearms. Since the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in 1981, the Guard has placed greater emphasis on its nonceremonial roles and has sought more training in anti-irregular military counterintelligence, commando-style raids, counter-sniper tactics, counterterrorism, close-quarters battle, defusing and disposal of bombs, executive protection, hostage rescue, human intelligence, medical evacuation, reconnaissance, tactical driving, tactical medical services, and tactical fast shooting by small arms.

The Swiss Guard is considered an elite military unit. It is highly selective in its recruitment: candidates must be unmarried Swiss Catholic males between 19 and 30 years of age and at least 174 cm (5 ft 8.5 in) tall, who have completed basic training with the Swiss Armed Forces and hold a professional diploma or high school degree.[5][6] As of 2024, there were 135 members.[7]

The Swiss Guard's security mission extends to the Pope's apostolic travels, the pontifical palace of Castel Gandolfo, and the College of Cardinals when the papal throne is vacant. Though the Guard serve as watchmen of Vatican City, the overall security and law enforcement of the city-state is conducted by the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City, which is a separate body.

Elon Musk breaks silence on Twitter, posts a picture with the pope

By Reuters

July 2, 20226:13 AM PDT Updated July 2, 2022

July 2 (Reuters) - Elon Musk on Friday night broke his nine-day silence on Twitter, the social media platform he is trying to buy for $44 billion, posting a picture of him meeting Pope Francis on Thursday.

The world's richest person tweeted a picture where he can be seen standing next to the pope, captioning it: "Honored to meet @pontifex yesterday."

Musk's four teenage boys are also pictured, but not his 18-year-old transgender daughter who, on June 20 sought to change her name and sever ties with him. Musk has a total of eight children.

The purpose and location of Musk's meeting with the pope were not immediately clear.

Last month, Musk said there were "still a few unresolved matters" on the deal to buy Twitter, including the number of spam users on the system and the coming together of the debt portion of the deal. read more

Do black holes collapse?

These cosmic SINK-holes do gradually shrink, but it’s impossible to get any more compact than a black hole.

Dr Alastair Gunn

Asked by: Patricia Rodrigues, King’s Lynn

The Schwarzschild radius (event horizon) of a black hole is sometimes thought of as the black hole’s ‘size’. It is proportional to mass, which means that more massive black holes have bigger Schwarzschild radii. Left alone, black holes lose mass due to ‘Hawking radiation’, so that their event horizons are slowly shrinking. A typical black hole would take many billions of times the age of the Universe to completely ‘evaporate’ and disappear.

Biblical/Historical Context: Some interpretations divide human history into 2000-year periods (e.g., patriarchal, Mosaic, and Christian eras), often placing the start of the Christian era around 2000 years ago.

The return of Jesus Christ between the years of 2030-2031 will be at the Mount of Olives where Christ ascended to heaven in 30ad

AI Overview

Jesus Christ was elevated (ascended) to heaven from the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem. According to the New Testament, this event occurred 40 days after his resurrection, often specifically associated with the area near Bethany on the eastern slope of the mount.

The Roman historian Phlegon is mentioned by Origen who describes a darkening of the sun in the eighteenth year of Tiberius on Nisan 14-Passover which would be 30 AD. A few people have used this Roman history report stating the year of the Crucifixion is 33 AD.

VENICE AND GENOA COMBINE

For Venice, so far so good: Florence, Naples, and Milan had been ruined. But ironically, the same dumb Valois and Hapsburg giants which had taken out three dangerous rivals were now to turn like Frankenstein’s monsters on the wily new Romans. Venetian manipulations were about to boomerang in the form of an alliance of all of Europe against Venice. This was the famous crisis of the War of the League of Cambrai, which was assembled in 1508-1509. The opposing coalition was made up of the pope (by then the Genoese Giuliano della Rovere, as Julius II), the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, France, Spain, Savoy, Mantua, and Ferrara. The announced purpose of this alliance was to expunge Venice from the face of the earth. It nearly worked. At Agnadello, near the Adda River, the Venetian mercenary army was crushed by an army composed predominantly of Frenchmen. The Venetians were driven all the way down the Po Valley to Padua, and they soon lost that as well. Machiavelli exulted that on the day of Agnadello, the Venetians lost everything that they had conquered in more than 800 years. Machiavelli was himself engaged in operations against Venice, bringing a grant of Florentine cash to the aid of the Franco- Imperial forces holding Verona. With nothing left but the lagoons, the Venetian position was desperate. The DOGE sent a message to the pope asking for mercy, and announcing that Venice would vacate territory taken in the past from the Papal States. Inside Venice, Agnadello brought on an orgy of hysterical self-flagellation among the terrified patricians. The banker Girolamo Priuli wrote in his diary that Agnadello had been a punishment for the sins of the Venetian nobility, among which he numbered arrogance, violation of promises, lechery in nunneries, sodomy, effeminate dress, and luxurious and lascivious entertainments. Antonio Contarini, newly appointed patriarch of Venice, gave a speech to the Senate in which he characterized the Serenissima as a thoroughly amoral city. The defeat was a punishment for the city’s sins, he said. Nunneries were catering to the sexual needs of the rich and powerful. Homosexuality was so widespread that female prostitutes had complained to him that they had earned so little during their youth that they had to keep working far into their old age. But more significantly, the shock of Agnadello set into motion a strategic review in the Venetian intelligence community which led to very far-reaching conclusions, some of which were not obvious before several decades had gone by. The first Venetian ploy was to attempt to dismember the Cambrai coalition. They started with Pope Julius II. This pontiff was, as already noted, Genoese. Genoa and Venice had engaged in a series of highly destructive wars up till about the end of the fourteenth century, but after that, Genoa gravitated toward the status of junior partner and close associate of the Venetians. The Venetians had bested the Genoese by virtue of superior connections in the East, but otherwise their was a broad area of agreement. The symbol of Genoa was St. George the dragon-slayer, in reality no saint at all but a thinly disguised version of Perseus saving Andromeda by slaying the sea monster, a legend that is centered on the coast of Lebanon. The “George” is said to come from the Gorgon Medusa, whose head Perseus was carrying. Perseus is in turn nothing but a westernized variant of Marduk, the Syrian Apollo, a deity associated with the most evil forces of ancient Assyria and Babylon. The Venetians had their own Marduk cult, although subordinated to St. Mark, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, home of a Dominican monastery and today of the Cini Foundation, one of the highest level think tanks in the world. The modern British preference of Gorgons is too well known to need comment. What probably accounted more directly for Julius II’s decision to reverse his alliances was a deal mediated with the Venetians by Agostino Chigi, the Siena Black Guelph banker from whose financial empire the infamous Siena Group of today derives. He proposed that the Venetians stop buying alum, needed in textile and glass manufacture, from the Turks, but contract for a large shipment at higher prices from the alum mines at Tolfa in the Papal States – mines for which he, Chigi, was acting as agent. To sweeten the pot, Chigi offered the Venetians tens of thousands of ducats in much-needed loans.

The Venetians, fearing a rapid French offensive, accepted. Their own state finances were in total shambles. Only the Chigi loan allowed them to hire enough Swiss mercenaries to hold out against the French and the Imperial Landsknechte. To provide a plausible cover for his move, Julius II suddenly discovered that the real issue was not Venice after all, but the need to expel the barbarians (primarily the French) from Italy. Julius stipulated an alliance with Venice. He then set up the slogan of Fuori Barbari! (Kick the Barbarians out!) which is still recorded by credulous writers of Italian school books as the beginning of the struggle to unify Italy. Even the Venetian mercenaries, mostly Swiss, began using the battle cry of “Italy and Freedom!” Thus the post-Agnadello crisis was overcome. Some years later the Venetians tried the same tactic in reverse, this time with more lasting success. By 1525 the prevalent barbarians in Italy were the forces of Emperor Charles V, who had defeated the French at Pavia, capturing King Francis I. The French lost their hold on Naples and Milan. At this point DOGE Andrea Gritti, whose portrait by Tiziano speaks volumes about his personality, decided to agitate once again the banner of Italian freedom. This took the form of the Holy League of Cognac “for the restoration of Italian liberty,” uniting France, Venice, Milan, Florence, and the Papal States under Pope Clement VIII Medici. After having set up this alliance, designed to play the French against Charles V once again to destroy Medici-controlled Rome, the last intact Renaissance center, the Venetians retired into defensive positions to await the outcome. Venetian capacities to manipulate Charles V were formidable indeed. The emperor’s bankers and intelligencers were the Fuggers of Augsburg, a banking house and a city that must be regarded as Venetian satellites, within a context of very heavy Venetian control of the cities of the Danube valley. Virtually every young male member of the Fugger family, and of their colleagues the Welsers as well, was sent to Venice for a period of apprenticeship at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi. This was the case with Jacob Fugger the Rich. Venice was the pivot for Fugger metals trading, especially toward the East. Thus, the Venetians stayed in their phony war posture against Charles V, while the imperial army of Lutheran Lanzi under Georg Frundsberg devastated Italy. The sack of Rome in 1527 was the direct outcome of this combined Venetian diplomacy and manipulation. To make Charles V’s triumph complete, the Genoese Admiral Andrea Doria, commanding the French fleet, defected to the imperial side. A Doria coup in Genoa then established a permanent de facto alliance with Venice. In 1530, Charles V was crowned as Holy Roman Emperor and King of Italy in a ceremony at Bologna. Garrisons of imperial troops were shortly stationed in every major city. Thanks to the tenacious policy of the Venetians, the main centers of the Renaissance had been subverted or destroyed. Venice was the only major Italian state which had retained real sovereignty. With the end of the Renaissance, Venice could feel free to start a delphic Renaissance among the throngs of intellectuals seeking asylum in the lagoons.

THE CREATION OF THE JESUITS

The “long autumn of the Italian Renaissance in Venice” during the rest of the sixteenth century was only one deployment among several. Another was the promotion of the Protestant Reformation. The more immediate controllers of Martin Luther have yet to be identified, but this is something of a secondary matter. Luther’s agitation in Wittenberg was merely one more example of protests against the papacy and the Curia that had been chronic and endemic for decades. What gave Luther and the rest of the Protestant reformers real clout was a publicity and diffusion of their ideas that owed much to the Venetian publishing establishment. The Venetian presses quickly turned out 40,000 copies of the writings of Luther, Calvin, Melancthon, and the heresiarch Juan Valdes, especially popular in Italy. Pope Leo X publicly denounced the University of Padua as the hotbed of inspiration of the German disease of Lutheranism. Clearly, Venetian interest was well-served by a schismatic movement that would embroil Germany, France, and the rest of Europe in a series of easily profiled conflicts. In addition, a conflict between reformers and counter- reformers, all owing allegiance to Aristotle, would severely undercut the influence of Erasmus and others like him. Venetian influence on both Reformation and Counter- Reformation can be seen most clearly in the remarkable career of Gasparo Contarini, who did not let the fact that he was a Protestant in theology, well before Luther, prevent him from founding the Society of Jesus. Contarini was the scion of one of Venice’s most prestigious LONGHI families. The Contarinis had produced seven doges, and Gasparo had his sights set on being the eighth, before he was tapped to serve Venice as a member of the College of Cardinals. He served the Serene Republic as ambassador to the court of Charles V, and as ambassador to the Vatican, where he took a role in setting up the Medici Pope Clement VII for the 1527 sack of Rome. Toward the end of his life, Contarini was sent as papal legate to the Imperial Diet at Regenburg, where he represented the Roman point of view in debates with schismatics like Melancthon. There, he had a hand in destroying any compromise between the Lutherans and the Emperor Charles, which would have helped to end the bloodshed and dissension of the Reformation years. What does this sublime Venetian patrician have to do with the founding of the Jesuit order by that itinerant and deranged mystic, Ignatius of Loyola? Ignatius was the creature of Venice, and of Contarini in particular. In 1521, Ignatius was wounded while fighting the French in one of the wars of Charles V. During his convalescence, he underwent his much-touted mystical crisis, after which he took up the life of a hobo. Making his way around Europe seeking funding for a pilgrimage to the holy land, Ignatius found his way to Venice, where he camped out in St. Mark’s Square and lived by begging. One evening the Venetian oligarch Marcantonio Trevisan was sleeping in his golden palace, and had a vision. An angel came to him asking, “Why are you sleeping so soundly in your warm bed, while in the square there is a holy man, a poor pilgrim who needs your help?” Trevisan rushed downstairs to find Ignatius, who became his house guest, fleas and all. After that, Ignatius was given an audience with the DOGE, Andrea Gritti, who offered him passage to Cyprus on a Venetian warship as first leg of his pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Ignatius continued his travels, but soon returned to Venice to develop relationships with other members of the oligarchy. These included Gasparo Contarini’s nephew Pietro, who became a recipient of Ignatius’ patented brainwashing treatment, the Exercitationes Spirituales. Then Ignatius made his way to Rome. Here he became the protégé of Gasparo Contarini, who had been appointed to the College of Cardinals by Pope Paul III Farnese. The cardinal took the Exercitationes Spirituales, and appointed Ignatius his personal confessor and spiritual advisor. By 1540, Contarini had personally interceded with the pope against Ignatius’ enemies within the church hierarchy to ensure the founding of the Society of Jesus as a new Church order. In June 1539, Contarini personally traveled to the pope’s summer residence at Tivoli, and prevailed on the pontiff to let him read aloud the statutes of the new order composed by Ignatius. The pope must have been favorably impressed by something. His approving comment Hic est digitus Dei, (”Here is the finger of God”), has become a feature of the turgid Jesuit homiletics.

Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, where he supported Donald Trump. After Trump was inaugurated as president in early 2025, Musk served as Senior Advisor to the President and as the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). After a public feud with Trump, Musk left the Trump administration and returned to managing his companies. Musk is a supporter of global far-right figures, causes, and political parties. His political activities, views, and statements have made him a polarizing figure. Musk has been criticized for COVID-19 misinformation, promoting conspiracy theories, and affirming antisemitic, racist, and transphobic comments. His acquisition of Twitter was controversial due to a subsequent increase in hate speech and the spread of misinformation on the service, following his pledge to decrease censorship. His role in the second Trump administration attracted public backlash, particularly in response to DOGE. The emails he sent to Jeffrey Epstein are included in the Epstein files, which were published between 2025–26 and became a topic of worldwide debate.

The Catholic Church reconquers Genoa, the secular city

From Genoa to the Vatican, the victory of the last pupils of Cardinal Siri

Luca Rolandi

30 Gennaio 2012 alle 11:43

5 minuti di lettura

“Genoa for us,” sang Paolo Conte and Bruno Lauzi back in the ‘70s, when the hieratic gaze of Giuseppe Siri reigned over the city of Lanterna, dominated by social unrest, the crisis of State ownership and Red Brigade terrorist violence. The archbishop of the immobilized city came to be known by his detractors as the Cardinal-Prince. These were the post-Council years, and the diocese was considered the rear guard of the Italian Church - closed in its negative interpretation of the Second Vatican Council, expressed by the pastoral action of the Archbishop and the non-conformist reflections of Renovatio, the periodical born in opposition to the international journals Concilium and Communio. And yet, between the ‘30s and ‘60s of the previous century, the Genoese Catholic world and the ecclesiastical institution had been the training grounds for an important Catholic ruling class - more so than Lombard, Brescia and Milanese Catholicism.

From the lesson of the Barnabite Fr. Giovanni Semeria to the pastoral innovations introduced by Archbishop Carlo Dalmazio Minoretti, a generation of young priests became important figures in 20th century Italian religious history, including Fr. Giuseppe Siri, Fr. Giacomo Lercaro, Fr. Franco Costa, and Fr. Emilio Guano, to name a few of the most famous. The liturgical apostolate founded by Fr. Giacomo Moglia, Catholic training and charity organizations like Catholic Action, FUCI, and the scouting movement, were important parts of youth education programs, as well as male religious congregations (the Jesuits of Arecco, the Vittorio da Feltre Institute of the Barnabites, the Marists of Champagnat, the Salesians of Sampierdarena, the Augustinians of the Consolation, the Dominicans of Santa Maria di Castello, and the Franciscans of Monte Alverno) and female congregations, with the schools of the Sisters of Saint Dorothy and the Sisters of Our Lady of Refuge on Mount Calvary. This living reality described the cipher of a genuine opposition toward other dioceses, toward secular, Mazzinist, Masonic, and especially Marxist aspects, with the strongest communist party in Italy, and the cradle of National Socialism which instilled a secular spirit among the people of this city characterized by its alleyways, the port, and the industry in Western Liguria (then considered the “Genoese Russia”).

A great period for Catholics who, while not clashing directly with fascism, had prepared a new ruling class during the dictatorship years and after 8 September 1943, brought young intellectuals and politicians into the partisan struggle for liberation and the democracy-building forces. Such forces included Aldo “Commander Bisagno” Gastaldi - “white” leader of the “red” partisans; Paolo Emilio Taviani; the rectors of the University of Genoa Carlo Ceretti and Achille Pellizzari; professors Michele Federico Sciacca, Alberto Caracciolo, and Fausto Montanari; Vittorio Pertusio, future mayor during the years of economic boom; and the young Dossettian Gianni Baget Bozzo. The Catholic Church played a decisive role in the fight for freedom in Genoa, through the diplomatic work of Jesuit Archbishop Pietro Boetto, and especially by his vicar and successor, the young Giuseppe Siri. Then, with the return of democracy and the start of reconstruction during the early years of the Republic, the ideological clash shifted to the anthropological incompatibility between Christian thought and Marxism. Under Siri, the most faithful and authoritative interpreter of the pontificate of Pius XII, Genoa became the stronghold of the defense of Christianity and the cardinal point of reference for a church closer to tradition than innovation, leading it to its isolation from the rest of the country, particularly after the Council. The comparison between the two different ecclesiological ideas took different paths to Minoretti’s young priests: Siri in Genoa on the one hand, and on the other, Guano and Costa, who migrated to Rome and became assistants at FUCI and Catholic Action, then bishops at Crema and Livorno, and tenacious innovators at the Council. In Bologna, adopted city of Genoese Giuseppe Dossetti, Giacomo Lercaro was a bishop who was open to modernity and an important figure in the Second Vatican Council, as moderator and Italian guide for the progressive component. The defiance of the Genoese church polarized them. On the one hand, there was Siri’s doctrinal compactness, which reduced the innovative reception of the Council, and on the other, minority Christian groups expressing their dissent through social, theological, and political action manifested in the stories of the communities based in the Camillians and Fr. Zerbinati, Nando Fabro, Katy Canevaro, and Nazareno Fabretti’s journal Il Gallo, from the street communities of San Benedetto to the Port of Fr. Andrea Gallo, to the dynamic and unpredictable eclecticism of Gianni Baget Bozzo, who had a relationship of friendship and of very troubled conflict with Cardinal Siri.

At the end of the long “reign” after the brief ferrying of Cardinal Giovanni Canestri, began the ascent of Catholic Genoa, despite the suffering and difficulties of an aging clergy and empty seminaries, the shrinking of Catholic associations, the growth of secular lifestyles distant from any spiritual dimension, with a strong reduction of participation in the Sunday Mass. On the social plane, the progressive irrelevance of the Catholic component in city politics - the last Christian Democrat mayor in Genoa, was Giancarlo Piombino, a pupil of Paolo Emilio Taviani in the early ‘70s - were signs of an overt decline. It has taken more than twenty years since the death of Cardinal Siri, in May 1989, to see the return of the centrality of Genoese church hierarchy to its universal dimension, after an unpredictable and covert climb. The Genoese clergy, accustomed to having an experienced leader, lived through the swift succession of bishops, a springboard to the most prestigious and important positions: Dionigi Tettamanzi (1995-2002), secretary of Ruini’s CEI (Italian Episcopal Conference) and then successor to Carlo Maria Martini at the head of the great diocese of Milan and the Piedmontese Tarcisio Bertone, Salesian bishop of Vercelli and importantly, Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, close collaborator of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who appointed him as Secretary of State after the succession to John Paul II. And while it has increased the polarization between opposites, Father Gallo and Father Baget-Bozzo, and experiences along the lines of the reception of the Council in the life of the city has grown significantly: in the cultural field, the publishing activities of Fr. Antonio Balleto with “Marietti”, in the pastoral field, the evangelical restlessness of Fr. Paolo Farinella, and in the social field, the work of Fr. Piero Sheath in Auxilium Caritas. And there were other priests, ordained in the ‘60s and ‘70s by Siri, who achieved prestigious appointments and assignments, particularly between the pontificate of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Other lesser-known names and religious figures who currently serve the Pope, such as Fr. Guido Marini, his secretary, should not be forgotten. There are four more names that come up in this area: Angelo Bagnasco, Domenico Calcagno, Francesco Moraglia, and Mauro Piacenza, all united by their rise to the episcopate and the cardinalship with prominent assignments in the Roman Curia and the pastoral leadership of important Italian dioceses.

Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, was appointed bishop in 1998, and was previously pastor of Pesaro and Urbino. Then the military chaplain was appointed Archbishop of Genoa in September 2006, and after a few months designated successor to Cardinal Camillo Ruini, President of the Italian Conference of Bishops; Archbishop Mauro Piacenza, bishop since 2003, held a number of positions in the Roman Curia: President of the Pontifical Commission for Cultural Heritage of the Church, then the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology, Pro-Prefect and then Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, and Cardinal since November 2010. Another Genoese figure who will become a cardinal in the consistory this February, is Mgr. Domenico Calcagno, ordained in 1967, active in the diocese of Genoa for many years, then Bishop of Savona, since last July, appointed by the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See. Finally, Monsignor Francis Moraglia, Bishop of La Spezia, about to become cardinal as successor to Angelo Scola as new Patriarch of Venice. Their appointments and ecclesiastical careers are signs of a turnaround, the revenge of Cardinal Siri in the Italian church, which some interpret with an old antinomian flavor, or in more current aspect of a total rethinking of Second Vatican Council. A deeper reading could be an ex post facto reinterpretation of a never-appeased aspect of the Italian church - a return to faithfulness to the tradition that consolidated itself in its doctrinal forms through John Paul II. It had a theological definition with the pontificate of Benedict XVI; the rebirth of a less prophetic and more systematic Catholicism, which has caused the last students of the Cardinal of Genoa to emerge at the top of the Roman Curia and the Italian church.

Tracing this network is easier if we recall that the Venetians first supported Henry of Navarre to

become King of France as Henry IV and were the first to recognize him. The Venetians controlled

Henry IV’s advisers. When Henry IV refused to back Venice in the Interdict, refused to start a war with

Spain, and attacked Sarpi as a heretic, Venetian intelligence assassinated Henry IV, the most popular

king in French history.

Sarpi held his French Calvinist network in contempt. He wrote: “The heretics of France are for the

most part bad men….”

After the 1572 massacre of Huguenots on St. Bartholomew’s Day, there was a growing reaction against

religious fanaticism. This was expressed by a third force called the politiques. The politiques are much

misunderstood. They were not just fed up with religious fanaticism. Several of the politique leaders

represented an early form of the cabal of the libertines under Venetian control.

The leading politique was Jean Bodin, the first philosophe and an intelligence agent who worked for

the Duke of Alencon, the son of Henry II and for a time the politique candidate for the monarchy. Jean

Bodin was a disciple of Contarini and of Pomponazzi. Jean Bodin was in close contact with Sarpi’s

friend Arnaud du Ferrier, as well as with Cecil in London. Bodin was involved in plots to kill Queen

Elizabeth of England, and was the judge in a trial in which a woman was executed for sorcery.

His Six Books of the Commonwealth talks much about sovereignty, but this is not the modern concept

of sovereignty. For the Venetians, the slogan of sovereignty was used as a device to create conflict

between any given government and the Pope. Sarpi, for example, posed as the defender of Venetian

sovereignty against Pope Paul V Borghese during the Interdict. The Jesuit Cardinal Bellarmino had

proclaimed that all temporal rulers were subordinated to the supremacy of the Roman Pope. Sarpi

became celebrated in all of Europe by arguing that the Pope could not interfere with the prerogatives of

the sovereign state. King James I Stuart of England and Scotland, who claimed to get his divine right

directly from God without any papal intermediary, was one of Sarpi’s biggest fans. Telling the princes

of the Holy Roman Empire that they were not really sovereign was also a great way to stir them up

against the Hapsburgs. This close parallel between Bodin and Sarpi has been noticed by Italian writers

including Federico Chabod and more recently Paolo Frajese.

Much of Bodin’s book is also devoted to a weird theory of climate, which appears as a racist

determinism. Northerners succeed by force, southerners by cunning; “… southern peoples are cruel and

vindictive in consequence of their melancholy, which engenders extreme violence in the passions and

impels men to take vengeance for what they suffer.” And: “There is another very notable difference

between northerners and southerners, in that the former are modest and chaste, and the latter very

libidinous as a result of their melancholy temperament.” Or: “northern races, or those who live in

mountainous regions, are proud and warlike, relying on their physical prowess, and so they prefer

popular states, or at any rate elective monarchies, and will not endure to be ruled by pretentious

boasters.” From such arid banality it is not far to Henry Kissinger’s idiotic dictum that “history is not

made in the South.”

Bodin also talks of tolerance. As we can see in sixteenth- century England, tolerance often meant

opening the door to gangs of Venetian madmen organized as religious sects. If Governor Winthrop of

Massachusetts had caved in to Cromwell’s pressure to tolerate these sects, North America might have

become a madhouse for depraved sectarians. In any case, notice that Bodin’s model for tolerance is

none other than Gasparo Contarini, the Venetian patrician who started the Reformation and the Wars of

Religion as a wartime measure against the League of Cambrai. Venice itself managed to be the most

thorough totalitarian police state while at the same time tolerating the exercise of many religions.

The real Jean Bodin emerges in obscene relief in his long- unpublished Latin work, Heptaplomeres.

(See Marion L.D. Kuntz [ed.], Colloquium of the Seven about Secrets of the Sublime, [Princeton,

1974]). There is no doubt that Jean Bodin was the author. The scene is Venice, famous for its

atmosphere of perfect freedom, where a group of oligarchs discuss religion. They are Coronaeus the

Catholic, Salomon the Jew, Toralba the naturalist or empiricist, Fridericus the Lutheran, Curtius the

Calvinist, Senamus the skeptic, and Octavius the Moslem. According to some commentators, the

tolerant Catholic Coronaeus “in several ways resembles the eminent Cardinal Gasparo Contarini.”

[Kuntz, p. xlv]

If Coronaeus acts as ireneic mediator, it is Salomon the Jew who emerges as the dominant figure. This

is because he is able to draw upon the Cabala, the mass of mystical writings much fetishized by Bodin

and Postel. Cabala is of course not a part of Judaism, but represented an entirely different polytheistic

religion much inferior to Judaism itself. Octavius, a convert from Rome to Islam, is the resident expert

on mummies and other exotic spiritual phenomena of the East. This is completely unfair to real Islam.

Fridericus, the Lutheran, is also a great expert on demons. Toralba recommends reverence for God and

following the laws of nature. Senamus, the skeptic, accepts no religion but at the same time rejects

none.

What they all agree on is that mummies can stir up storms and have miraculous powers of healing, that

the world is full of demons, and that true wisdom is to be found in the mysticism of the Cabala. They

are interested in necrophilia, sing hymns to Isis, talk of Cabbalist Hermes Trismegistus, and praise

Gasparo Contarini. The first sentence of the actual dialogue is, “Don’t you think we have talked enough

about the immortality of souls?” Voila: the Venetian party.

The dialogue is preceded by an introduction which sets the stage:

“You ask me in letters to write you about my foreign travel. Everything would have

happened to my liking, if I could have taken delight in your companionship. If I shall ever

meet with you again, I shall never allow myself to be separated from you. When we had a

difficult time sailing along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, we reached Venice, a port common

to almost all nations or rather the whole world, not only because the Venetians delight in

receiving strangers hospitably, but also because one can live there with the greatest

freedom. Whereas other cities and districts are threatened by civil wars or fears of tyrants or

harsh exactions of taxes or the most annoying inquiries into one’s activities, this seemed to

me to be nearly the only city that offers immunity and freedom from all these kinds of

servitude. This is the reason why people come here from everywhere, wishing to spend

their lives in the greatest freedom and tranquillity of spirit, whether they are interested in

commerce or crafts or leisure pursuits as befit free man.” [Kuntz ed., p. 3]

There is also much praise for Cardinal Contarini, the Venetian intelligence chief of the Cambrai period:

“Fridericus: When, at the imperial Diet at Ratisbon the Emperor Charles V, in agreement

with the German princes, had selected six most upright theologians of each religion to settle

the religious controversies of the Romans and Germans … they thought they should begin

with the question of human justification. When in this discussion three theologians of the

Augsburg Confession had drawn the Catholics, Pflugius, Fabrus, and Groppeus to their

position and had likewise persuaded Cardinal Contarini, legate of the Roman See of this

point of view, namely, that man is blessed by faith alone and by no merit of his own,

Eckius, one of the Catholics, became so angry against his colleagues that the Catholic

bishops and princes, convinced by him, forced Charles V to dissolve the discussion twenty

days after it had begun…. Cardinal Contarini, the most learned Venetian patrician who was

said to have agreed with the Lutherans, died a little afterwards, and it was strongly

suspected that he died of poisoning.” [Kuntz ed., 423]

It is no coincidence that Bodin puts this speech into the mouth of Fridericus, the Lutheran spokesman;

Contarini was the founder of Lutheranism and assured the protection of Luther, through his agent

Spalatin.

Etymology of Arturo

What does the name Arturo mean?

The surname Arturo is an Italian patronymic surname; that is, it was a name created from the first name of the father. Arturo is derived from the Breton given names Artuir and Arthur. This personal name is of very ancient origin and is derived from the Celtic word art, which means bear. The name Arthur is also related to the Greek Arcturus, which means bear or guardian and is the name of the bright star in the constellation Bootes.

The Beast (Koine Greek: Θηρίον, Thērion) may refer to one of three beasts described in the Book of Revelation.

This US church with expansion in its DNA wants to open a temple in China

—

Every Sunday, when members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) meet in the conference room of a blue-glass skyscraper in downtown Shanghai, one person always takes a seat right at the back, by the doors.

They are there to intercept the wrong person coming in. This is not to protect any religious mysteries; Mormonism is not a particularly secretive faith and usually seeks out new converts, but because if a Chinese passerby were to join the service, it could mean all those taking part were breaking the law.

There are only five state-sanctioned religious associations in China, all under the tight control of the Communist Party. Others walk a delicate legal tightrope, with the threat of a crackdown always hanging over their heads. While the government tolerates foreigners practicing their religion and attending services together, it takes a hard line against anything approaching proselytising or missionary work, a prohibition the Mormon Church takes seriously.

“We have to ask to see if they have a foreign passport to attend,” said Jason, a lifelong member of the Church who worked in Shanghai for almost a decade until relocating back to the United State in 2018. “I have frequently been this person watching the doors and on many occasions I have sadly had to turn away Chinese citizens who wished to worship with us.”

And that is during the good times. In recent years, the Chinese government has increased its regulation of religious worship, launched crackdowns against underground churches and instituted new restrictions on those faiths which operate in the grey area of only catering to foreigners.

So the Church’s announcement on April 5, that it plans to open a temple in Shanghai, the first ever in mainland China, was seen by some as a bold decision.

The Church claims it won’t change anything, but the idea that a US church with expansion in its DNA could open an official temple in China is likely to be controversial – and may not be allowed by Beijing. Already, authorities in Shanghai have suggested that the announcement was made without their prior approval, even as experts said the Church would likely never have revealed the plans without a clear go ahead.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, the spiritual headquarters of the US-based Church, Jason “could hardly believe” the news.

“I couldn’t have imagined that we would ever have a temple in Shanghai at this time,” he said. “Immediately, my WeChat started lighting up as we were all expressing joy and excitement with our China friends.”

Jason is a pseudonym. Like several other current members of the Church interviewed for this story, he requested anonymity to speak about its functioning in China without the permission of Church leadership.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints declined multiple requests for an interview for this story, referring CNN to a website about its operations in China and President Russell Nelson’s statement on April 5.

In the beginning

Founded in upstate New York by Joseph Smith in 1830, it took the Mormon Church some 117 years to grow from six initial members to its first million. Today, it claims more than 16.5 million members globally, with most outside the US.

While the true size of the church is debated (some say they include members who are no longer active) one thing is clear: the massive growth of the Church has been achieved through the work of thousands of missionaries.

Smith said he received a revelation in February 1831, in which God told his followers to “go forth in my name, every one of you” and “build up my church in every region.”

That is how the Church arrived in China over a century and a half ago.

Its start in the country, however, was less than auspicious. In 1853, its then-leader Brigham Young dispatched three missionaries to British-controlled Hong Kong, then a common staging ground for those seeking to spread the gospel in China.

When they arrived, however, they realized that China was in the midst of a bloody civil war, making travel outside of Hong Kong exceptionally dangerous. Their reception in the city was not much better, as the English-language press ran lurid articles about the Mormon faith and accused the faith of blasphemy. Their funds running out, they struggled even to find a Chinese teacher.

“Our staying here to learn the Chinese language without one friend or one possible recourse to us appears totally impractable (sic),” the missionaries wrote in a letter to church leaders as, less than two months after they had arrived in Asia, they boarded a ship bound for California, historian Stephen Prince recounts in his biography of one of the missionaries, Hosea Stout.

It was not until 1949 that the Church established a permanent presence in Hong Kong, with the intention again of using the city to get a foothold into China.

“Nearly one billion of our Father’s children live in China,” then-President Spencer Kimball said in 1978. “If we could only make a small beginning in every nation, soon the converts among each kindred and tongue could step forth as lights to their own people.”

Beginning in 1980, Church leadership began reaching out to the Chinese authorities to try to get permission to operate in the country, and in 1986, small church branches – meeting houses – were organized in Beijing and Xi’an, though only those holding foreign passports were permitted to attend. According to the Church, today there are around 10 meeting houses across mainland China. By comparison, there are around the same number in Hong Kong alone, and more than 50 meeting houses in self-governed Taiwan, where the Church claims around 61,000 members.

Despite this apparent lack of progress, Church leaders say they have built a strong relationship with the Chinese authorities, and in 2010 they announced moves to “regularize” their activities in the country.

“The Church deeply appreciates the courtesy of the Chinese leadership in opening up a way to better define how the Church and its members can proceed with daily activities, all in harmony with Chinese law,” spokesman Michael Otterson said at the time. “They have become thoroughly familiar with us through numerous contacts, and they have seen how we and our members operate in China. They know that we are people of our word when it comes to respecting Chinese law and cultural expectations.”

Currently, two types of Mormon worship are permitted in China: services for foreign nationals, and services for Chinese nationals who converted while overseas. The two are kept separate, and the Church is careful to avoid any sign of seeking to expand its Chinese membership within the country. Unlike with other countries in which it operates, however, the church does not provide membership figures for China.

Building trust

The Chinese Communist Party has always had an uneasy relationship with religion. The state is officially atheist, and the tens of millions of Party members are barred from holding religious beliefs.

Despite a constitutional commitment to religious freedom, only a handful of faiths are permitted to operate, each under umbrella organizations with strong links to the Communist Party.

Two are considered domestic faiths – Buddhism and Taoism – while the others are foreign religions, with varying historical pedigrees in the country, Islam, Protestantism and Catholicism, though Chinese Catholic organizations operate separately to Rome.

Other religions fall into a grey area: the State Council says it is “open” to foreign organizations – but only if they respect China’s sovereignty and principle of religious self-administration.

In practice, this means religious bodies’ first loyalty must be to the Communist Party, not a foreign Church leadership. This point has caused a long-standing rift with the Vatican since the establishment of the People’s Republic, and Chinese Catholics operate separately to the global church, though some progress has been made towards rapprochement in recent years.

Despite this, religious practice is on the rise. But alongside this growth in belief has come increased suspicion of “foreign” religions, particularly Islam and Christianity (though both have long-histories in China). Muslims in the far-western region of Xinjiang have had their religious practices strictly curtailed, while underground Christian churches, once broadly tolerated, have been cracked down upon.

Indeed, around the time Nelson was making the announcement of the new temple, International Christian Concern, a US-based advocacy group, said that believers holding Easter services online were raided by the authorities. Local police could not be reached for comment, the Early Rain Covenant Church which organized the service is considered an “underground,” or unlicensed, operation and has previously been ordered to cease activities, according to Human Rights Watch.

“The Chinese government is very suspicious of religion as a vehicle for potential political opposition,” said William Nee, a Hong Kong-based researcher for Amnesty International.

Pierre Vendassi, an expert on Christianity in China, said that the government “is mainly trying to take back the control over religious activities, and uses full force to do so, after a period of time when people could almost freely opt for unregistered, unmonitored religious activities, without facing any consequences, most of the time.”

“Now the message is clear: either accept state control, monitoring and restrictions, or face state hostility,” he said. “For the Christian activities, the purpose is to get house churches and Catholic underground church back under control.”

As far as non-official faiths go, the Mormon Church is perhaps the gold standard for such a group in China. Current and former members, as well as outside observers, agreed that the Church is scrupulous about following Chinese law and avoiding anything that could be seen as proselytization.

Nee contrasted this with “other forms of Protestant Christianity or evangelical traditions coming out of the US, who have a much more aggressive or underground strategy for spreading the faith.”

Sarah, a Mormon who worked as a university professor for several years in China, said she “did not tell people what church I belonged to or even if I belonged to a church.”

“Some friends would ask me if I was Christian. I would say yes (but) we do not talk about it in China,” she said. “They would nod and agree. That is as far as the conversation would go.”

Marcelo Gameiro, a Church member living in Shanghai, said that he does not talk about the church “because it is against the law.”

“But I don’t hide (that) I am a member of the church,” he added. “When I was in Huzhou, I used to go to the Hangzhou branch, it took me three hours to get there, and people started to notice I was going somewhere every Sunday dressed in a tie, so I did tell them where I was going with no problem, I just did not preach the gospel to anyone.”

Sarah said she would “occasionally see Christian religious groups that would come in and rather openly flout the rules of China.” Korean students would get scholarships in China and then try and convert their classmates.

“Several times I talked to them about it, I asked is this the right thing to do, are you making a good example,” she said. “I heard from Chinese people who got rather angry because people would come from other countries and give away Bibles and start conversations about religion, and they would say we are not allowed to talk about this in China.”

Playing the long game

John Wakefield, a now ex-Mormon who came to Hong Kong as a missionary in the 1980s and still lives in the city, said a big part of the Mormon religion is “we’re going to convert the whole world” and that it’s the fastest growing church in the world. “For them, numbers are really important,” he said.

Another former Mormon, Bryce Bushman, who lived in China for almost four years, where he worked as an urban planner and designer, said that: “Mormon doctrine states that the LDS Church will eventually cover the whole Earth.”

“It’s considered a prophecy, something that is definitely going to happen at some point in the future,” he said. “This gives both the church organization and the members of the church a kind of patient confidence that eventually every nation on earth will allow Mormon missionaries to proselyte and establish church congregations.”

Mormon doctrine also permits “baptisms for the dead,” allowing for the potential salvation of those already deceased, who can then “choose to accept or reject what has been done in their behalf.” This alleviates somewhat the need to spread the word of Jesus to people before they die, has been stated as a motivation for some evangelical missionaries to take great risks in the name of saving souls.

This patience allows the Church to play the long game in China, confident that one day it will be able to bring its message to the country’s vast population.

Josh Steimle, a practicing Mormon who lived in the Chinese city of Shenzhen for two years, said it “would have been so easy to pass along the URL to a Church website to someone who was curious, or give them a Book of Mormon, or a pamphlet about the Church.”

“It was very difficult because we’re a Church that believes in sharing what we believe, and we’re always being encouraged to be good missionaries, and then to move to China and be told to not say a word about what we believe seems to be contrary to everything we’ve been taught,” he added. “But it’s all about the long term vs. the short term. If we shared our beliefs in violation of Chinese law, a few people might join our Church and then the Church would be shut down and kicked out of the country.”

Temple doctrine

On paper, a temple should not be too much for the Chinese authorities to stomach.

In its description of the proposed temple in Shanghai, the Church is clear that this does not represent a climactic shift, nor will the Chinese temple be anything like the grand white stone buildings that dot many American cities.

“It would be modest in appearance. It would fit and be consistent with local custom and environment as a place of peace, tranquility, and dignity,” the Church said of the proposed temple, which it said is intended to serve as a replacement for the Hong Kong building, which is currently closed for “long-planned maintenance and renovation.”

It said that entry will be limited to Chinese members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – those who have converted overseas and returned to China – adding that this “does not represent a change in the legal status” or the ability of missionaries to operate in China.

Unlike a regular church, Mormon temples are not open to non-members, and even those within the Church must be considered in good standing and receive a “recommend” from a Church official in order to enter.

While the Church appears to be downplaying the significance of a potential temple, all current and former members interviewed by CNN agreed that it would be a major achievement.

Steimle said that it was “difficult to express how big of a deal this is for me, personally, other members of the Church who have ties to China, and really to the entire Church membership worldwide. It’s going to be a very small temple, but it’s a huge thing for the Church.”

Temples are where the most important and sacred Mormon ceremonies are carried out, including baptisms and “celestial marriages.”

If established, the temple would not be the first active place of worship in Shanghai for an unofficial religion. In recent years, limited services have been held at the Ohel Rachel Synagogue, a historic building that predates the establishment of the Communist state. Most Jews in China however continue to practice behind closed doors, in arrangements similar to Mormon meeting houses.

Whether Mormons in China will be able to get nearer to that presence remains to be seen. In a statement issued two days after the Church’s announcement, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs said that “according to the relevant laws and regulations of China, foreigners are not allowed to set up religious organizations or venues for religious activities in China.”

The bureau denied any knowledge of plans for a temple in Shanghai, saying they were the “wishful thinking of the Mormon Church in the United States.”

When CNN asked the Church about the current status of the project, a spokesman would only provide a link to the Church’s website detailing plans for the temple and how it would operate. Church representatives would neither confirm nor deny the veracity of the original statement announcing the temple. However, since reporting on this story began, reference to the Shanghai temple has been removed from the Church’s website, though it is still available on an archived version of the page.

Vendassi, the expert on religion in China, said that despite this apparent denial by the authorities, a temple may still end up opening at some point in the near future.

“If an LDS temple has been announced in Shanghai, I think it means they probably had a ‘go’ from Chinese officials to do so,” Vendassi said. “Even if the government says it is a unilateral statement – they actually have no interest in making a bilateral statement, because that would send a message of religious openness.”

Nee, the Amnesty researcher, said that while there was no reason on paper for the Chinese authorities to object to a temple, he doubted whether officials “would be willing to understand the nuances of religions and their theologies” in order to permit such an institution.

As a uniquely American religion, Mormonism’s hopes in China may also be hurt by worsening relations between Washington and Beijing. In the same month the Shanghai temple was announced, Senator Mitt Romney said the coronavirus pandemic had exposed China’s “grand strategy for economic, military and geopolitical domination.”

Romney is by no means alone in criticizing Beijing, but as the country’s highest-ranking elected Mormon, his words may carry more weight with China’s leaders when they are considering the Church’s position there.

China change

If the Mormon Church does have to exercise more patience before they open a temple in mainland China, what are a few more years or decades after a century and a half?

Responding to a question of when China would be open to missionaries in 1991, Elder Dallin Oaks – a senior Church leader – said that “I state my belief that China is already ‘open’ – it is we who are closed … We must understand their way of thinking … observe their laws, and follow their example of patience.”

Quoting Mormon scripture, Oaks added that God “will bring His purposes to pass in that great nation ‘in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will’.”

Mormons who lived in China spoke of the country with great fondness, despite the restrictions placed on how they worshipped there. Both Jason and Sarah keep in contact with Chinese friends over WeChat, and hope to visit again in future.

Sarah saw many parallels between China and the Mormon people, pointing in particular to the importance of venerating ancestors in Chinese culture.

“My ancestors are special to me,” she said. “Many of them joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while our first leader, Joseph Smith, was a prophet. Like the people of China who went on the (Long March), my people also traveled across a continent in search of their dream.”

Two of Jason’s four children were born while the family was living in Shanghai, and the kids went to local Chinese schools. Jason and his wife made a concerted effort to integrate into Chinese life more than many other expats around them, doing “many things that few foreigners experience in China.”

“We didn’t speak any Chinese when we came but we did when we left,” he said. This brought him closer both to locals and to other members of the foreign Mormon community who weren’t as comfortable operating in China.

“I can’t possibly begin to count the number of people we had over for dinners, the people we took shopping because everything the supermarket was unfamiliar, how many people we helped to simply get a Chinese phone number and register for WeChat, both for members of our Church and those who were not.”

Both were optimistic about the future of the Church in China, but emphasized the need for patience, a view shared by Steimle.

“Great progress usually doesn’t happen in a straight line,” he said. “Although there have been crackdowns on religion in China, perhaps the obedience of our members and the trust and friendship our Church leadership has built up over the years by working openly with the Chinese government will help open doors.”

This story has been updated to clarify which foreign students were allegedly seen proselytizing in China.

Cox Report Overview

Arms Control Today

Back to Cox Report Main Page

Important Note: This declassified report summarizes many important findings and judgments contained in the Select Committee's classified Report, issued January 3, 1999. U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies within the Clinton administration have determined that other significant findings and judgments contained in the Select Committee's classified Report cannot be publicly disclosed without affecting national security or ongoing criminal investigations.

• The People's Republic of China (PRC) has stolen design information on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons.

• The Select Committee judges that the PRC's next generation of thermonuclear weapons, currently under development, will exploit elements of stolen U.S. design information.

• PRC penetration of our national weapons laboratories spans at least the past several decades and almost certainly continues today.

A. The People's Republic of China (PRC) has stolen design information on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has stolen classified design information on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons. These thefts of nuclear secrets from our national weapons laboratories enabled the PRC to design, develop, and successfully test modern strategic nuclear weapons sooner than would otherwise have been possible. The stolen U.S. nuclear secrets give the PRC design information on thermonuclear weapons on a par with our own.

The PRC thefts from our National Laboratories began at least as early as the late 1970s, and significant secrets are known to have been stolen as recently as the mid-1990s. Such thefts almost certainly continue to the present.

• The stolen information includes classified information on seven U.S. thermonuclear warheads, including every currently deployed thermonuclear warhead in the U.S. ballistic missile arsenal.

• The stolen information also includes classified design information for an enhanced radiation weapon (commonly known as the "neutron bomb"), which neither the United States, nor any other nation, has yet deployed.

• The PRC has obtained classified information on the following U.S. thermonuclear warheads, as well as a number of associated reentry vehicles (the hardened shell that protects the thermonuclear warhead during reentry).

In addition, in the mid-1990s the PRC stole, possibly from a U.S. national weapons laboratory, classified thermonuclear weapons information that cannot be identified in this unclassified Report. Because this recent espionage case is currently under investigation and involves sensitive intelligence sources and methods, the Clinton administration has determined that further information cannot be made public without affecting national security or ongoing criminal investigations.

The W-88, a miniaturized, tapered warhead, is the most sophisticated nuclear weapon the United States has ever built. In the U.S. arsenal, it is mated to the D-5 submarine-launched ballistic missile carried aboard the Trident nuclear submarine. The United States learned about the theft of the W-88 Trident D-5 warhead information, as well as about the theft of information regarding several other nuclear weapons, in 1995.

The PRC has stolen U.S. design information and other classified information for neutron bomb warheads. The PRC stole classified U.S. information about the neutron bomb from a U.S. national weapons laboratory. The U.S. learned of the theft of this classified information on the neutron bomb in 1996.

In the late 1970s, the PRC stole design information on the U.S. W-70 warhead from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The U.S. government first learned of this theft several months after it took place. The W-70 warhead contains elements that may be used either as a strategic thermonuclear weapon, or as an enhanced weapon ("neutron bomb"). The PRC tested the neutron bomb in 1988.

The Select Committee is aware of other PRC thefts of U.S. thermonuclear weapons-related secrets. The Clinton administration has determined that further information about PRC thefts of U.S. thermonuclear weapons-related secrets cannot be publicly disclosed without affecting national security.

The PRC acquired this and other classified U.S. nuclear weapons information as the result of a 20-year intelligence collection program to develop modern thermonuclear weapons, continuing to this very day, that includes espionage, review of unclassified publications, and extensive interactions with scientists from the Department of Energy's national weapons laboratories.

The Select Committee has found that the primary focus of this long-term, ongoing PRC intelligence collection effort has been on the following national weapons laboratories: Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, OakRidge and Sandia.

The Select Committee judges that the PRC will exploit elements of the stolen design information on the PRC's next generation of thermonuclear weapons. The PRC plans to supplement its silo-based CSS-4 ICBMs targeted on U.S. cities with mobile ICBMs, which are more survivable because they are more difficult to find than silo-based missiles.

The PRC has three mobile ICBM programs currently underway—two road-mobile and one submarine-launched program—all of which will be able to strike the United States.

The first of these new People's Liberation Army (PLA) mobile ICBMs, the DF-31, may be tested in 1999, and could be deployed as soon as 2002. These mobile missiles require small warhead designs, of which the stolen U.S. design information is the most advanced in the world.

In addition, the PRC could choose to use elements of the stolen nuclear weapons design information—including the neutron bomb—on intermediate- and short-range ballistic missiles, such as its CSS-6 missiles.

The PRC has the infrastructure and technical ability to use elements of the stolen U.S. warhead design information in the PLA's next generation of thermonuclear weapons. The Select Committee concludes that the production tools and processes required by the PRC to produce small thermonuclear warheads based on the stolen U.S. design information, including the stolen W-88 information, would be similar to those developed or available in a modern aerospace or precision-guided munitions industry. The Select Committee judges that the PRC has such infrastructure and is capable of such production.

The Select Committee judges that the PRC is likely to continue its work on advanced thermonuclear weapons based on the stolen U.S. design information. The PRC could begin serial production of such weapons during the next decade in connection with the development of its next generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

A series of PRC nuclear weapons test explosions from 1992 to 1996 began a debate in the U.S. Government about whether the PRC's designs for its new generation of nuclear warheads were in fact based on stolen U.S. classified information. The apparent purpose of these PRC tests was to develop smaller, lighter thermonuclear warheads, with an increased yield-to-weight ratio.

The United States did not become fully aware of the magnitude of the counterintelligence problem at the Department of Energy national weapons laboratories until 1995. In 1995 the United States received a classified PRC document that demonstrated that the PRC had obtained U.S. design information on the W-88 warhead and technical information concerning approximately half a dozen other U.S. thermonuclear warheads and associated reentry vehicles.

The document was provided by a PRC national, unsolicited by the CIA—a "walk in." This individual approached the CIA outside the PRC, and turned over a number of documents. Among these was an official PRC document classified "Secret" by the PRC.

This PRC document included, among other matters, stolen U.S. design information on the W-88 thermonuclear warhead used on the Trident D-5 missile, as well as U.S. technical information on several other strategic U.S. nuclear warheads. The document recognized that the U.S. weapons represented the state-of-the-art against which PRC nuclear weapons should be measured.

By mid-1996 the CIA had determined that the individual who provided the information was secretly under the direction of the PRC intelligence services. The CIA and other U.S. intelligence community analysts have nevertheless concluded that the classified PRC document contained U.S. thermonuclear warhead design information and other technical information on U.S. nuclear weapons.

The stolen U.S. nuclear secrets give the PRC design information on thermonuclear weapons on a par with our own. Currently deployed PRC ICBMs targeted on U.S. cities are based on 1950s-era nuclear weapons designs. With the stolen U.S. technology, the PRC has leaped, in a handful of years, from 1950s-era strategic nuclear capabilities to the more modern thermonuclear weapons designs. These modern thermonuclear weapons took the United States decades of effort, hundreds of millions of dollars, and numerous nuclear tests to achieve.

Such small, modern warheads are necessary for all of the elements of a modern intercontinental nuclear force, including: road-mobile ICBMs, submarine-launched ICBMs and ICBMs with multiple warheads (MRVs or MIRVs).

The PRC has an ongoing program to use these modern thermonuclear warheads on its next generation of ICBMs, currently in development. Without the nuclear secrets stolen from the United States, it would have been virtually impossible for the PRC to fabricate and test successfully small nuclear warheads prior to its 1996 pledge to adhere to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

B. The Select Committee judges that elements of the stolen information on U.S. thermonuclear warhead designs will assist the PRC in building its next generation of mobile ICBMs, which may be tested this year.

The stolen U.S. design information will assist the PRC in building smaller nuclear warheads—vital to the success of the PRC's ongoing efforts to develop survivable, mobile missiles. Current PRC ICBMs, which are silo-based, are more vulnerable to attack than mobile missiles.

The PRC has currently underway three intercontinental mobile missile programs—two road-mobile, and one submarine-launched. All of these missiles are capable of targeting the United States.

The first of these, the road-mobile solid-propellant DF-31, may be tested in 1999. Given a successful flight-test program, the DF-31 could be ready for deployment in 2002.

The Select Committee judges that the PRC will in fact use a small nuclear warhead on its new generation ICBMs. The small, mobile missiles that the PRC is developing require smaller warheads than the large, heavy, 1950s-era warheads developed for the PRC's silo-based missiles. The main purpose of a series of nuclear tests conducted by the PRC between 1992 and 1996 was evidently to develop new smaller, lighter warheads with an increased yield-to-weight ratio for use with the PRC's new, mobile nuclear forces.

The Select Committee judges that the PRC will exploit elements of the stolen U.S. thermonuclear weapons designs on its new ICBMs currently under development. The advanced U.S. thermonuclear warheads for which the PRC has stolen U.S. design information are significantly smaller than those for which the PRC's silo-based missiles were designed. The U.S. designs, unlike those in the PRC's currently-deployed arsenal, can be used on smaller mobile missiles.

The Select Committee judges that:

• The PRC is likely to continue to work on small thermonuclear warheads based on stolen U.S. design information;

• The PRC has the infrastructure and ability to produce such warheads, including warheads based on elements of the stolen U.S. W-88 Trident D5 design information;

• The PRC could begin serial production of small thermonuclear warheads during the next decade in conjunction with its new generation of road-mobile missiles;

• The introduction of small warheads into PLA service could coincide with the initial operational capability of the DF-31, which could be ready for deployment in 2002.

These small warhead designs will make it possible for the PRC to develop and deploy missiles with multiple reentry vehicles (MRVs or independently targetable MIRVs).

Multiple reentry vehicles increase the effectiveness of a ballistic missile force by multiplying the number of warheads a single missile can carry as many as ten-fold.

Multiple reentry vehicles also can help to counter missile defenses. For example, multiple reentry vehicles make it easier for the PRC to deploy penetration aids with its ICBM warheads in order to defeat anti-missile defenses.

The Select Committee is aware of reports that the PRC has in the past undertaken efforts related to technology with MIRV applications. Experts agree that the PRC now has the capability to develop and deploy silo-based intercontinental ballistic missiles with multiple reentry vehicles (MIRVs or MRVs).

Experts also agree that the PRC could have this capability for its new mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles within a reasonable period of years that is consistent with its plans to deploy these new mobile missiles. The PRC could pursue one or more penetration aids in connection with its new nuclear missiles.

If the PRC violates the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty by testing surreptitiously, it could further accelerate its nuclear development.

The Select Committee judges that, if the PRC were successful in stealing nuclear test codes, computer models, and data from the United States, it could further accelerate its nuclear development. By using such stolen codes and data in conjunction with High Performance Computers (HPCs) already acquired by the PRC, the PRC could diminish its need for further nuclear testing to evaluate weapons and propose design changes.

The possession of the stolen U.S. test data could greatly reduce the level of HPC performance required for such tasks. For these reasons, the Select Committee judges that the PRC has and will continue to aggressively target for theft our nuclear test codes, computer models, and data.

Although the United States has been the victim of systematic espionage successfully targeted against our most advanced nuclear weapons designs—and although the Select Committee judges that the PRC will exploit elements of those designs for its new generation of ICBMs—the United States retains an overwhelming qualitative and quantitative advantage in deployed strategic nuclear forces. Nonetheless, in a crisis in which the United States confronts the PRC's conventional and nuclear forces at the regional level, a modernized PRC strategic nuclear ballistic missile force would pose a credible direct threat against the United States.

Neither the United States nor the PRC has a national ballistic missile defense system.

In the near term, a PRC deployment of mobile thermonuclear weapons, or neutron bombs, based on stolen U.S. design information, could have a significant effect on the regional balance of power, particularly with respect to Taiwan. PRC deployments of advanced nuclear weapons based on stolen U.S. design information would pose greater risks to U.S. troops and interests in Asia and the Pacific.

In addition, the PRC's theft of information on our most modern nuclear weapons designs enables the PRC to deploy modern forces much sooner than would otherwise be possible.

At the beginning of the l990s, the PRC had only one or two silo-based ICBMs capable of attacking the United States. Since then, the PRC has deployed up to two dozen additional silo-based ICBMs capable of attacking the United States; has upgraded its silo-based missiles; and has continued development of three mobile ICBM systems and associated modern thermonuclear warheads.

If the PRC is successful in developing modern nuclear forces, as seems likely, and chooses to deploy them in sufficient numbers, then the long-term balance of nuclear forces with the United States could be adversely affected.

C. Despite repeated PRC thefts of the most sophisticated U.S. nuclear weapons technology, security at our national nuclear weapons laboratories does not meet even minimal standards.

The PRC stole design information on the United States' most advanced thermonuclear weapons as a result of a sustained espionage effort targeted at the United States' nuclear weapons facilities, including our national weapons laboratories. The successful penetration by the PRC of our nuclear weapons laboratories has taken place over the last several decades, and almost certainly continues to the present.

More specifically, the Select Committee has concluded that the successful penetration of our National Laboratories by the PRC began as early as the late 1970s; the PRC had penetrated the Laboratories throughout the 1980s and 1990s; and our Laboratories almost certainly remain penetrated by the PRC today.

Our national weapons laboratories are responsible for, among other things, the design of thermonuclear warheads for our ballistic missiles. The information at our national weapons laboratories about our thermonuclear warheads is supposed to be among our nation's most closely guarded secrets.

Counterintelligence programs at the national weapons laboratories today fail to meet even minimal standards. Repeated efforts since the early 1980s have failed to solve the counterintelligence deficiencies at the National Laboratories. While one of the Laboratories has adopted better counterintelligence practices than the others, all remain inadequate.

Even though the United States discovered in 1995 that the PRC had stolen design information on the W-88 Trident D-5 warhead and technical information on a number of other U.S. thermonuclear warheads, the White House has informed the Select Committee, in response to specific interrogatories propounded by the Committee, that the President was not briefed about the counterintelligence failures until early 1998.

Moreover, given the great significance of the PRC thefts, the Select Committee is concerned that the appropriate committees of the Congress were not adequately briefed on the extent of the PRC's espionage efforts.

A counterintelligence and security plan adopted by the Department of Energy in late 1998 in response to Presidential Decision Directive 61 is a step toward establishing sound counterintelligence practices. However, according to the head of these efforts, significant time will be required to implement improved security procedures pursuant to the directive. Security at the national weapons laboratories will not be satisfactory until at least sometime in the year 2000.Selected Overview Findings On Missile and Space Technology

The PRC has stolen or otherwise illegally obtained U.S. missile and space technology that improves the PRC's military and intelligence capabilities.

A. The PRC has stolen U.S. missile technology and exploited it for the PRC's own ballistic missile applications.

The PRC has proliferated such military technology to a number of other countries, including regimes hostile to the United States.

….

B. In the late 1990s, the PRC stole or illegally obtained U.S. developmental and research technology that, if taken to successful conclusion, could be used to attack U.S. satellites and submarines.

….

C. Currently deployed PRC ICBMs targeted on the United States are based in significant part on U.S. technologies illegally obtained by the PRC in the 1950s.

This illustrates the potential long-term effects of technology loss.

….

D. In the aftermath of three failed satellite launches since 1992, U.S. satellite manufacturers transferred missile design information and know-how to the PRC without obtaining the legally required licenses.

This information has improved the reliability of PRC rockets useful for civilian and military purposes.

The illegally transmitted information is useful for the design and improved reliability of future PRC ballistic missiles, as well.

….

E. In light of the PRC's aggressive espionage campaign against U.S. technology, it would be surprising if the PRC has not exploited security lapses that have occurred in connection with launches of U.S. satellites in the PRC.

….

F. Foreign brokers and underwriters of satellite and space launch insurance have obtained controlled U.S. space and missile-related technology outside of the system of export controls that applies to U.S. satellite manufacturers.

While existing laws address such exports, U.S. export control authorities may not be adequately enforcing these laws in the space insurance industry context, nor paying sufficient attention to these practices.

….

G. The Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act took important steps to correct deficiencies in the administration of U.S. export controls on commercial space launches in the PRC.

But the aggressive implementation of this law is vital, and other problems with launches in the PRC that the Act does not address require immediate attention.

….

H. It is in the national security interest of the United States to increase U.S. domestic launch capacity.

….

Selected Overview Findings on Export Controls

United States and international export control policies and practices have facilitated the PRC's efforts to obtain militarily useful technology.

A. Recent changes in international and domestic export control regimes have reduced the ability to control transfers of militarily useful technology.

i. The dissolution of COCOM in 1994 left the United States without an effective, multilateral means to control exports of militarily useful goods and technology.

….

ii. The expiration of the Export Administration Act in 1994 has left export controls under different legislative authority that, among other things, carries lesser penalties for export violations than those that can be imposed under the Act.

….

iii. U.S. policy changes announced in 1995 that reduced the time available for national security agencies to consider export licenses need to be reexamined in light of the volume and complexity of licensing activities.

….

B. Dividing the licensing responsibilities for satellites between the Departments of Commerce and State permitted the loss of U.S. technology to the PRC.

The 1996 decision to give Commerce the lead role in satellite exporting was properly reversed by the Congress.

….

C. U.S. policies relying on corporate self-policing to prevent technology loss have not worked.

Corporate self-policing does not sufficiently account for the risks posed by inherent conflicts of interest, and the lack of priority placed on security in comparison to other corporate objectives.

….

D. The PRC requires high performance computers (HPCs) for the design, modeling, testing, and maintenance of advanced nuclear weapons based on the nuclear weapons design information stolen from the United States.

The United States relaxed restrictions on HPC sales in 1996; and the United States has no effective way to verify that HPC purchases reportedly made for commercial purposes are not diverted to military uses.

The Select Committee judges that the PRC has in fact used HPCs to perform nuclear weapons applications.

….

E. The PRC has attempted to obtain U.S. machine tools and jet engine technologies through fraud and diversions from commercial end uses.

In one 1991 case studied by the Select Committee, the Department of Commerce decontrolled jet engines without consulting either the Defense Department or the State Department.

i. In 1994 and 1995 the PRC attempted to divert an export of machine tools by McDonnell Douglas to military uses.

….

ii. In 1991 the Commerce Department decontrolled Garrett jet engines without consulting either the Defense Department or the State Department. This led to a PRC effort to acquire related jet engine production technology. The Commerce Department was prepared to approve this transfer, which was only thwarted when the Defense Department was alerted by the U.S. embassy in Beijing.

….

Selected Overview Findings On Chinese Technology Acquisition

• The PRC seeks advanced military technology to achieve its long-term goals.

• To acquire U.S. technology the PRC uses a variety of techniques, including espionage, controlled commercial entities, and a network of individuals and organizations that engage in a vast array of contacts with scientists, business people and academics.

….

A. The PRC has mounted a widespread effort to obtain U.S. military technologies by any means—legal or illegal.

These pervasive efforts pose a particularly significant threat to U.S. export control and counterintelligence efforts.

….

B. Efforts to deny the PRC access to U.S. military technology are complicated by the broad range of items in which the PRC is interested, and by transfers to the PRC of Russian military and dual-use technologies, which may make the consequences of the PRC's thefts of U.S. technology more severe.

….

C. The PRC uses commercial and political contacts to advance its efforts to obtain U.S. military, as well as commercial, technology.

….

D. The PRC has proliferated nuclear, missile, and space-related technologies to a number of countries.

Panel: Dayton judge violated rules

Saturday, September 4, 2010

(AP) - A Nevada judicial panels says a Dayton judge violated campaign rules, but without intent.

In a ruling Friday, the Committee on Judicial Ethics and Election Practices said Justice of the Peace Camille Vecchiarelli improperly listed the address and telephone number of the Dayton Justice Court on her campaign blog.

During a hearing last month, she said the information was taken from a biography she had prepared for a judicial conference, and her daughter added it to her campaign blog.

She removed the information when it was brought to her attention on Aug. 18.

The ruling said there was no evidence Vecchiarelli gained an unfair advantage from the listing, and no sanctions were imposed.

A complaint was filed with the ethics panel by Jason Luis, who is running against the judge.

Abstract

Diagnostic of transsexualism and gender incongruence are terms to describe individuals whose self-identity does not match their sex assignment at birth. A transgender woman is an individual assigned male at birth (AMAB) on the basis of the external or internal genitalia who identifies and lives as a woman. In recent decades, a significant increase in the number of transgender people has been reported. Although, its etiology is unknown, biological, anatomical, genetic, environmental and cultural factors have been suggested to contribute to gender variation. In XY animals, it has been shown that environmental endocrine disruptors, through their anti-androgenic activity, induce a female identity. In this work, we described four XY individuals who were exposed in utero to the xenoestrogen diethylstilbesterol (DES) and were part of the French HHORAGES cohort. They all reported a female transgender identity starting from childhood and adolescence. This high prevalence of male to female transgenderism (1.58%) in our cohort of 253 DES sons suggests that exposure to chemicals with xenoestrogen activity during fetal life may affect the male sex identity and behavior.

Keywords: sexual identity; diethylstilbestrol (DES); prenatal exposure

1. Introduction

Gender identity defines each individual’s deeply held personal sense of their own gender as male or female or something else [1]. Moreover, gender diversity and variance are umbrella terms used to describe the wide range of gender identifications outside the conventional gender categories [2]. Gender dysphoria [3] relates to the distress and unease experienced by individuals who are discontent with their assigned gender and identify with a gender other than the one associated with their birth sex [4]. A transgender man or woman is a person born phenotypically female or male, assigned female or male at birth on the basis of their external or internal genitalia, who identifies and lives as a male or a female. Actually, for many experts [5] this definition should be enlarged to Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) individuals, people with disorders of sex development (DSDs) and people assigned male (AMAB) or female at birth (AFAB) [6].

All studies on secular trends have reported a dramatic increase in the number of transgender people in recent decades [7]. A temporal change in the age of presentation is another notable phenomenon [8]. Quoting Hassler et al. [8] in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5), signs of transgender in children include: “A repeated desire to be the other sex or an assertion that they are the other sex; a belief that their assigned sex will change on its own (e.g., thinking they will grow a penis or that their penis will come off when they get older); wanting to change their name to a name typically associated with another gender, or a gender-neutral name; a preference for presenting as another gender (e.g., a child assigned male at birth who prefers long hair and wearing dresses, or a child assigned female at birth who prefers short hair and wearing gender-neutral clothing); resistance or distress when made to present as a gender they do not identify with (such as a ‘girl’ throwing a tantrum over having to wear a dress or a ‘boy’ crying after having to get a haircut); assuming the role of another gender in fantasy games or make-believe; an intense desire to participate in the games and activities typical of the other gender (such as an assigned-male child playing with Barbie and an assigned-female child playing contact sports); a preference for playmates of another gender”.

Hassler et al. also wrote [8]: “In adolescence, signs of transgender includes: feelings of panic or severe discomfort concerning puberty and body changes (e.g., refusing to acknowledge or admit that changes are occurring, refusing to look at their body, or becoming distressed or uncomfortable with body development, menstruation, or ejaculation); discomfort or distress with certain forms of gender presentation, such as disliking long hair or certain types of clothing; increased bullying at school due to differences in acting out one’s perceived gender or lack of self-confidence; isolation from peers due to lack of connection or fear of bullying; depression and/or anxiety as a result of confusion over gender identity or not fitting in with peers; be aware that some adolescents may try to repress their true gender due to outside pressure, such as from family and peers, even if they previously expressed their true gender as a child”.

The literature on the prevalence of transgender people is heterogeneous, depending on the geographic area, inclusion criteria and age at presentation [9]. Specialized centers that manage transgender people estimate a prevalence between 17 and 33/100,000 individuals [10]. Actually, people who identify as transgender represent a sizable proportion of the general population, from 0.1% to 2% [11,12].

Although the biological basis of transgenderism/incongruence is unknown, biological, anatomical, genetic and environmental factors have been suggested to contribute to gender identity [13,14]. The role of sex hormones and genetics in sexual development was described by studies published between 1948 and 2019, and the implication of endogenous steroids in brain sexual differentiation has been widely studied [14,15,16,17,18]. According to the accepted dogma, high levels of fetal testosterone organize the brain towards a male phenotype [19]. Any exogenous chemical that can reduce testosterone action during fetal life can affect the differentiation of genitalia and sex behavior.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a molecule that has strengthened the concepts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and the fetal basis of adult diseases [20]. It is well known that in utero exposure to DES, a compound with estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity, induces a wide range of reproductive tract/function abnormalities in the so-called ‘DES daughters’, e.g., alterations to Müllerian duct development, fertility problems, ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, premature births and cancers, especially clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the vagina and cervix in girls and young women [21]. In ‘DES sons’, epididymal cysts, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, hypoplastic testes and micropenises have been observed [22,23,24,25,26]. In addition, although less studied, in utero exposure to synthetic sex hormones, particularly DES, can cause psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior [27]. Interestingly, some studies in patients exposed in utero to DES with psychotic disorders identified methylome changes that affect the expression of ZFP57 and ADAMTS9, two genes implicated in neurodevelopment regulation [28], with potential multigenerational and transgenerational effects [29,30].

In this work, we first describe four transgender women identified among the 253 sons exposed in utero to DES included in the HHORAGES-France cohort (a French National patient association). This high prevalence of male-to-female transgender individuals among DES sons (1.58%) strongly suggests that exposure of male fetuses to this xenoestrogen during fetal life may affect future male sex identity and behavior.

2. Patients and Methods

This study was based on a French national retrospective cohort of DES-treated women (HHORAGES-France Association) (n = 1200) and their families. Detailed standard questionnaires were obtained from all DES mothers when they joined the HHORAGES-France Association and all DES children were already adults at this time. The answers to this online questionnaire were used to select women who met the following inclusion criteria: (1) at least two pregnancies with two viable male babies (same father) among whom the first child was not exposed in utero to DES (pre-DES), followed by one or more children with fetal exposure to DES (DES); (2) confirmed data on the total DES dose (health record or physician’s observation). The cumulative dose D administered to the French pregnant mothers was 4050 mg < D < 7300 mg. This is considered a medium-low-dose cohort, in accordance with the observations by Tournaire et al. [31] and compared with the higher doses administered in the United States (7550 mg < D < 12,742 mg). The answers to the questionnaires were also used to identify women with a DES son who presented female gender variance. We then contacted all DES sons with female gender variance and we carried out an individual interview with them.

The local university hospital ethics committee approved this study (ID IRB No. 202301531), and all patients gave their informed consent through the HHORAGES-France Association (CNIL: J B/EM/DC042793, N° 1006460).

All DES sons who identified as transgender women underwent karyotyping at their local hospital at the moment of transition.

2.1. Patient 1 (M.) (Table 1, First Column)

Table 1. Clinical features of our four patients with female gender variance, from childhood to adulthood.

Currently a writer and photographer, M. was born in 1961 after in utero exposure to DES given to their mother following a previous miscarriage. At birth, M. had male genitalia and unilateral cryptorchidism. At the age of 4 years, M. started to present gender dysphoria that became clear at the age of 9 years (Table 1, first column). During adolescence, M. expressed the conviction of being a woman. This period was also characterized by important school absenteeism and poor academic performance. In adult life, M. presented severe psychological disorders, particularly a severe self-mutilation episode (external genitalia) at the age of 43 years (2004), with a major, life-threatening hemorrhage. After seeing a psychiatrist, M. began the transition with male to female gender reassignment surgery in France, after the agreement of the French court of first instance. Since this operation, she has been receiving Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) and she is regularly followed as part of GAHT management.

2.2. Patient 2 (S.) (Table 1, Second Column)

Currently a composer (guitar and vocals), S. was born in 1969 after in utero exposure to DES. At birth, S. had male genitalia with unilateral cryptorchidism. S. started to question the assigned male gender at the age of 4 years: “I remember very clearly that when I was 3–4 years old, one day I went with my mother to a hairdressing salon and having looked at all the ladies, I thought: ‘When I grow up this is what I will do: I will be a woman’”.

During adolescence, S. felt he was a woman and had severe psychological disorders, particularly depression and suicidal ideation (Table 1, second column). As an adult, S. married and had two children. These two girls had prolactinoma, and one has Asperger’s syndrome, androgyny and ovarian cysts. S. began the transition with male to female gender reassignment surgery, in Brighton, United Kingdom (UK), in November 2015. Since then, S. has been receiving GAHT and is followed by the doctor who managed the transition. According to the UK Gender Recognition Act, S. could change their sex recorded on their birth certificate (male to female) and now, she lives in Scotland. Her elder sister, also exposed to DES in utero after her mother’s miscarriage, died due to vaginal adenocarcinoma during adolescence.

2.3. Patient 3 (Chr.) (Table 1, Third Column)

Currently a ULM pilot teacher, Chr. was born in 1963 after in utero exposure to DES and slow-release progestin. At birth, Chr. had male genitalia without any genital malformation and spina bifida. Chr. reported gender dysphoria at the age of 7 years (see Table 1, third column). During adolescence, Chr. had psychological disorders and enuresis up to the age of 16 years. At the age of 22 years, Chr. married and had one son at the age of 23 years. From the age of 30 years, Chr. regularly dressed as a female and finally divorced after 20 years of married life. Chr. began the transition with male to female gender reassignment surgery performed in Thailand, in 2003, at the age of 40 years. Since this operation, she has been receiving GAHT. She lives in a couple with her former female partner and the French court of first instance of her department recognized her identity change on June 2006, at the age of 43 years.

2.4. Patient 4 (J.) (Table 1, Fourth Column)

J. was born in May 1953 in the USA (Kansas, Mid-West) after in utero exposure to DES. At birth, J. had normal male genitalia and no malformation. Gender dysphoria began at about 3–4 years of age. During childhood, J. always liked to wear his sister’s clothing, including panties, slips and dresses (Table 1, fourth column). J. had no girlfriend at the age of 16 years, and later, fantasized to be Annette Funicello, a very feminine movie star. During adolescence, J. always fantasized by looking at women’s apparel and dreamt of wearing all the items featured in catalogues, especially panties and lingerie, and often dressed as a woman. Once an adult, J. married, “But still society pushed me into marriage which is where I am now, taking cross-sex hormones to become a girl!”. Indeed, from 1997, J. has been taking estradiol to change sex, but did not undergo gender reassignment surgery.

3. Results

In this French national retrospective cohort of DES-treated women (i.e., DES mothers; n = 1200) and their families, 253 boys who were exposed in utero to DES (DES sons) and 148 pre-DES sons were identified. The flowchart showing the included and excluded patients is shown in Figure 1. Four of these DES sons identified themselves as transgender women (transgender prevalence =1.58%) versus zero among the pre-DES sons (0%). The prevalence difference was not significant (p-value = 0.30), probably because of the small sample size. The DES doses were documented for all 253 DES sons.

E2 is the synthetic hormone 17-α-estradiol that was often administered in a cocktail with DES and synthetic progesterone during pregnancy, but was banned for pregnant women in Europe in 1980.

In these four DES sons who identified themselves as transgender women, karyotyping did not reveal any abnormality. Major transgender components and behaviors were present already in early childhood and adolescence, as described in the previous section and summarized in Table 1.

4. Discussion

The number of patients seeking gender-specific healthcare has drastically increased (30–40-fold) in the last three decades [32]. In a recent European study, 0.7–1% of the general population reported incongruent gender identity [33]. However, several reports highlighted the important heterogeneity in the published estimates across studies. Moreover, the definition of transgender is often expanded to include broader manifestations of gender diversity. However, non-binary people should not be included in this wide definition. If we consider the highest prevalence of transgender women reported in the literature (1/17,000) [10], the prevalence we observed in our study (1.58%) is 10- to 100-fold higher. Moreover, the prevalence of female transgender identity was 0% among the 148 elder non-exposed sons (AMAB) in the same informative families.

It is generally accepted that fetal androgens play a crucial role in male brain differentiation by directly activating neuronal regions to provide organizational changes. In male individuals, gender identity, gender behavior and sex orientation are driven by prenatal androgen action [34]. Basic gender identity is developed at the age of 2–3 years [35]. By this age, most children have become aware of gender stereotypes, for instance, through toy preference and clothing. It is interesting to note that in our four patients, most diagnostic signs of transgenderism were present early in life and persisted during adolescence and adult life. In addition, mental health disorders, particularly depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation, have frequently been reported by DES children [27,36] and also by our four patients, starting from early adolescence and then in adulthood. Moreover, in many countries, transgender people live at the margin of society, and despite a higher educational level, they have a lower socio-economic status.

Although research in the transgender field is increasing, the causal mechanisms have not been adequately identified yet [13,37]. Genetic [38,39], biological [1,4], anatomical [40,41] and environmental factors [42,43] have mainly been studied. A greater chance of transgender concordance among XY monozygotic tweens than dizygotic tweens [44] supports a genetic component. A significant association between female transgenderism and over-represented alleles and genotypes (estrogen receptor α, ERα; androgen receptor, AR; Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 2, SRD5A2; cytochrome 17, CYP17) has been identified by Foreman et al. [38]. These authors suggested that gender dysphoria may have a polygenetic basis that may alter the masculinization of the fetal brain, contributing to the development of a female transgender identity. Moreover, the second-to-fourth digit length ratio (2D:4D), a proxy of prenatal androgen activity, was recently found to be higher, i.e., feminized, in female transgender persons. This finding reinforces the role of reduced prenatal androgen activity in female transgenderism. Unfortunately, we could not scan the left hand of our patients [45]. The primacy of testosterone [19] activity during fetal life is a critical driver of brain androgenization and the subsequent male sex identity and behavior [39,40].

In many animal studies, EDC exposure during development has been associated with changes in sex behavior, such as disruption of the normal social preference behavior (rats) and alteration of the differentiation of relevant sexually dimorphic pathways (mouse, Japanese quail) [42,43]. The most convincing evidence linking testosterone to the establishment of the male gender identity comes from individuals with DSDs, such as XY complete androgen insensitivity syndrome [45], XY 5 alpha reductase deficiency [46] and XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) [47]. For example, individuals with 5 alpha reductase deficiency are usually reared as girls on the basis of their female external genitalia [47]. They change the initial gender assignment during puberty, when testosterone concentration increase can organize the brain structures and influence the adolescent gender identity and behavior. XX fetuses with CAH and exposed to a high testosterone level during prenatal life present a high risk of gender incongruence. The transgender prevalence among individuals with DSDs is much higher than in the general population, although there are substantial differences among DSD etiologies. In a European collaborative work from the DSD Life Study, 4% of the 1040 participants with DSDs reported gender variance [48]. In our four patients, no DSD was diagnosed at birth. Patients 1 and 2 presented unilateral cryptorchidism, which cannot be considered a clinical expression of a DSD on its own, but is a minor effect of in utero exposure to DES. The XY DSD related to insufficient or deficient androgen production or activity during fetal life contributes to the low male sex differentiation of the brain [34]. This will lead to disorders of male gender identity, male behavior and male sexual orientation. Therefore, fetal exposure to any chemicals that can reduce androgen production or action should be considered a transgender risk factor [17]. In 1991, Renish et al. reported that male patients exposed in utero to DES appeared to be feminized [49].

In 2005 and 2020, Kerlin et al. conducted a 5-year qualitative study of DES sons via the Association DES-Sons USA and analyzed a sample of 500 men with confirmed DES exposure. In total, 90 individuals with verified DES exposure identified as transsexual, transgender or gender dysphoric (personal data). In addition, 65 individuals with strongly suspected but not confirmed DES exposure also defined themselves as “transsexual, transgender or gender dysphoric”. Kerlin et al. carried out extensive surveys and interviews with several of them for more than 15 years that enabled a stronger verification of the full scope of DES-related effects (personal data).

Based on a study by Tournaire et al. [21,31], the DES doses administered in France (4050 mg < D < 7300 mg) were lower than those administered in the United States (7550 mg < D < 12,742 mg; doses varied in the different states). These authors investigated DES’s role in clear cell carcinoma development in DES daughters in France and proposed that early fetal exposure (administration beginning during the first trimester of pregnancy which represents most cases) is more important than the dose. We think that this hypothesis is valid also for our DES sons.

Conversely, Titus et al. [50] evaluated a cohort of 2694 DES sons and found little support to the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to DES influences the psychosexual characteristics of adult men. Troisi et al. [51], in a group of 1848 DES sons, reported an odds ratio of 1.4 of having a gay identity or bisexual identity (five of these individuals were transgender women). Similarly, our finding of four transgender women among 253 XY patients who were exposed to DES in utero (1.58%), a much higher rate than in the general population and probably underestimated because no epidemiological investigation has been carried out on this topic, strongly suggests that DES plays a role in male to female transgender development. DES displays antiandrogenic activity in all assays used [52]. Northern blotting and RT-PCR showed a significant downregulation of androgen responsive genes upon exposure to DES [53]. As a xenoestrogen, DES can also stimulate production of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), the major androgen-binding protein in serum that reduces androgen’s ability to enter into the cell [54]. By reducing androgen production, bioactivity and action in target cells, DES must be considered an anti-androgen substance that can alter male sex differentiation of the brain and/or sex differentiation of the internal/external genitalia.

Differences in sex behavior may have correspondence in the brain architecture. Several studies reported an association between brain structure [15,55,56,57] and gender identity. Zhou et al. [58] first showed by brain imaging that the bed nucleus striae terminalis volume differs in men and women, and this is similar in transgender women and women. Garçia-Falgueras et al. [59], using brain imaging, found that the interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus volume is different between males and females and that its volume in transgender women is within the female range. Luders et al. reported regional gray matter variations in male-to-female transsexualism [55]. Lastly, Mueller et al. analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from transgender men and women and cisgender men and women. Based on their findings, they suggested that transgender persons present a specific brain phenotype [56]. Unfortunately, no MRI data were available for our four patients.

In conclusion, the presented clinical data from our DES cohort, experimental works and the endocrine consequences of environmental disruptors suggest for the first time that male to female transgenderism in DES sons is associated with DES exposure and is not a coincidental finding.

Pope Paul V (Latin: Paulus V; Italian: Paolo V) (17 September 1550 – 28 January 1621), born Camillo Borghese, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 16 May 1605 to his death, in January 1621. In 1611, he honored Galileo Galilei as a member of the papal Accademia dei Lincei and supported his discoveries.[2] In 1616, Pope Paul V instructed Cardinal Robert Bellarmine to inform Galileo that the Copernican theory could not be taught as fact, but Bellarmine's certificate allowed Galileo to continue his studies in search for evidence and use the geocentric model as a theoretical device. That same year Paul V assured Galileo that he was safe from persecution so long as he, the Pope, should live. Bellarmine's certificate was used by Galileo for his defense at the trial of 1633.[3]

Borghese

Recorded in many forms including Bourges, Bourgaize, Bourgeois, (France), Burgess, Burges and Burgis (England and Scotland), Borghese, Borgesio and Burgisi (Italy), and others, this interesting surname is of pre 8th century Old French origins. It derives from the word "burgeis", meaning inhabitant and FREEMAN of a fortified town, one which could apply municipal rates, taxes, and duties. A burgeis generally had tenure of land or buildings from a landlord by "burgage", which involved the payment of a fixed money rent. In Scotland, the position of burgess required not only the making of payments, but to be availble to take part in guarding the town. The surname is one of the earliest recorded anywhere in the world. These recordings are from England because this country was the first to adopt both hereditary surnames and to make the necessary registers in which to record them. France was several centuries later, and Italy, not until the 19th century in most areas. Early recordings showing the influence of the Norman-French in England after the Invasion of 1066 include: Ralph le Burgeis, in the Pipe Rolls of the county of Sussex in 1195, and Philip Bourges in the cartulary of Oseney Abbey, Oxford in 1197. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Geoffrey Burgeis, which was dated 1115, in the "Winton Rolls" of Hampshire. This was during the reign of King Henry 1st, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. Over the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop", often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Facade of St Peter's

"Paul V Borghese, Roman, Pontiff, in 1612, the seventh of his pontificate, [built] in honour of the Prince of Apostles

On February 10, 1608 the first stone of the Facade was laid and on July 21, 1612 most of the work was completed. It took another two years for the ornamentation, and the basilica was finally consecrated by Urban VIII on November 18, 1926.

From the central balcony, called the Loggia of the Blessings, the new pope is announced with "Habemus Papum", and gives the Urbi et Orbi blessing (to the city and to the world) upon his election and at Christmas and Easter. The relief under the balcony, by Buonvicino, represents Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. The facade is 114.69 metres (376.3 ft) wide and 45.55 metres (149.4 ft) high and is built of travertine.

Above the basic structure is an attic, with eight square windows decorated with small pilasters, surmounted by a balustrade and 13 statues in travertine. The statues on the balustrade represent Christ the Redeemer (19 feet high), St. John the Baptist and 11 Apostles. St. Mathias is included because he is associated with the other "Eleven" in bearing witness to Christ's Resurrection. St Peter is not included because his statue is below in the Square.

When Carlo Maderno started to build the facade, he was bound to the already existing Michelangelo's wings. He just put the attic all around the building, as planned by Michelangelo. That creation looks mighty and dynamic along the west side of the Basilica but is disharmonious in the facade. For this reason, at the far sides of the facade, Maderno planned two bell towers which lightened and soared the building. In 1621, at the death of Paul V, the ground subsided and the building of the two bell towers had to be stopped.

In 1646, Bernini tried to erect the bell towers again, but had to demolish the left-hand side bell tower because of cracks in the facade. Only the bases of the bell towers remain, two archways at the sides of the facade that seem to form part of it while they should have been separated. This was remedied in 1790 by the installation of two clocks designed by Giuseppe Valadier.

The eight gigantic columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high.

The restoration of the facade and the 13 statues, begun in April 1985, was concluded on November 30, 1986. The original copper cross (1613) in the arms of the statue of the Redeemer, which was replaced by a new one during the work, was given to the Knights of Columbus in recognition of their support for the restoration.

The Crown of Ba'al and Master Trusts of the World

The Crown of Ba'al, also known as the Papal Tiara and Triregnum is a three-tiered jewelled papal crown and symbol of claimed papal supremecy since the 16th Century. Since the 16th Century, it has featured prominently as part of the coat of arms of the Vatican, usually with the crossed keys of claims of authority from St Peter. Any text or other claim that alleges the three-tiered crown is older than the 16th Century is deliberately false.

Prior to Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) the antipopes of the Roman Cult wore fabric, not metallic headdress, similar to the Persian High Priests of Mithra. However in 1302 Boniface issued his infamous Papal Bull Unam Sanctam, being the first Express Trust claiming control over the whole planet and effectively "King of the world". In celebration, he commissioned a gold plated headdress in the shape of a pinecone, with an elaborate crown at its base.

The pinecone is an ancient symbol of fertility and one traditionally associated with Ba'al as well as the Cult of Cybele.

The 1st Crown of Crown Land

While Pope Boniface VIII was the first leader in history to create the concept of a Trust, the first Testamentary Trust through a deed and will creating a Deceased Estate was not until Pope Nicholas V in 1455 through the Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex. This is only one of three (3) papal bulls to include the line with the incipit "For a perpetual remembrance." This Bull had the effect of conveying the right of use of the land as Real Property from the Express Trust Unam Sanctam to the control of the Pontiff and his successors in perpetuity. Hence, all land is claimed as "crown land".

This 1st Crown is represented by the 1st cestui Que Vie Trust created when a child is born, depriving them of all their beneficial entitlements and rights on the land at birth.

The 2nd Crown of the Commonwealth

The second Crown was created in 1481 with the papal bull Aeterni Regis meaning "Eternal Crown" by Sixtus IV being only the 2nd of three papal bulls as deeds of testamentary trusts.

This Papal Bull created what is known as the "Crown of Aragon", later known as the Crown of Spain, being the highest sovereign and highest steward of all Roman Slaves subject to the rule of the Roman Pontiff. Spain lost the crown in 1604 when it was granted to King James I of England by Pope Paul V after the successful passage of the "Union of Crowns" or Commonwealth in 1605 after the false flag operation of the Gunpowder Plot.

The Crown was finally lost by England in 1975 when it was returned to Spain and King Carlos I, where it remains to this day.

This 2nd Crown is represented by the 2nd cestui Que Vie Trust created when a child is born being the sale of the birth certificate as a Bond to the private central bank of the nation, depriving them of ownership of their flesh and condemning them to perpetual servitude as a Roman person, or slave.

The 3rd Crown of the Ecclesiastical See

The third Crown was created in 1537 by Paul III through the papal bull Convocation also meant to open the Council of Trent being the third an final testamentary deed and will of a testamentary trust, being the trust set up for the claiming of all "lost souls", lost to the See.

The Venetians assisted in the creation of the 1st cestui Que Vie Act of 1540 to use this papal bull as the basis of Ecclesiastical authority of Henry VIII. This Crown was secretly granted to England in the collection and "reaping" of lost souls.

The Crown was lost in 1815 due to the deliberate bankruptcy of England and granted to the Temple Bar, which became known as the Crown Bar, or simply the Crown.

The Bar Associations have been responsible ever since in administering the "reaping" of the souls of the lost and damned, including the registration and collection of Baptismal certificates representing the souls collected by the Vatican and stored in its vaults.

This 3rd Crown is represented by the 3rd cestui Que Vie Trust created when a child is baptized being the grant of the Baptismal certificate by the parents to the church or Registrar being the gift of title of the soul. Thus, without legal title over one's own soul, a man or woman may be "legally" denied right to stand as a person, but may be treated as a creature and thing without legally possessing a soul. Hence, why the Bar Association is able to legally enforce Maritime law against men and women- because they can be treated as things, cargo that does not possess a soul.

The Knights Templar

From A Brief Historical Description by Professor Sir John Baker QC LLD FBA

Master of the Bench

The history of the Temple begins soon after the middle of the twelfth century, when a contingent of knights of the Military Order of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem moved from the Old Temple in Holborn (later Southampton House) to a larger site between Fleet Street and the banks of the River Thames. The new site originally included much of what is now Lincoln’s Inn, and the knights were probably responsible for establishing New Street (later Chancery Lane), which led from Holborn down to their new quarters. Following their custom, the knights built a round church patterned on the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. An inscription on the Round recorded that it was consecrated by the Patriarch Heraclius on 10 February 1185, in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is thought that King Henry II was also present on that day, inaugurating a long association between the royal family and the Temple.

Among the other buildings erected by the knights were dormitories, storehouses, stables, chambers, and two dining halls, one of them in the consecrated central portion and connected with the church by a cloister. It was a house fit for kings to stay in, and several did so. During a visit by King John in January 1215 he received a deputation of barons demanding a charter of liberties; and when the Great Charter was signed later in the year, the Master of the Temple was one of the witnesses. The knights took advantage of their special privileges to make their sanctuary a safe place for depositing treasure, and during the thirteenth century the New Temple became a busy financial centre. It was no doubt during this period that the first handful of lawyers came to live in the Temple, not as distinct societies but as legal advisers to a wealthy international organisation. The Templars thrived, adding to their round church a fine nave, which was consecrated in the presence of King Henry III in 1240. Many knights associated with the order were buried in the church, the most distinguished being William Marshal (d. 1219), first Earl of Pembroke and regent of England, the very model of medieval English chivalry, and one of the instigators of Magna Carta. Marshal’s armoured effigy, battered by time and war, may still be seen in the Round.

After losing the Holy Land in the 1290s, the order of the Temple fell into a decline. The knights were dubiously accused of improprieties, and in 1312 their order was dissolved. Although the pope granted their estates to the Knights Hospitaller of St John of Jerusalem, King Edward II seized the New Temple as forfeit to the Crown. Nevertheless, the consecrated portion was conceded to the Hospitallers, and the remainder was sold to them later.

What was the Court of the Gentiles in the Jewish temple?

Answer

Herod’s temple, destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 70, contained four separate “courts,” separated from one another and each designed for a different purpose: the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of Israel (or the Court of Men), and the Court of Priests. The Court of the Gentiles is referred to as “the outer court” in Revelation 11:2.

The Court of the Gentiles was the outermost courtyard and the only area of the temple where non-Jews were allowed. As its name implies, the Court of the Gentiles was accessible to Gentiles, foreigners, and those who were considered impure. There, worshippers could mill about, exchange money, and even buy animals for sacrifices. It was from the Court of the Gentiles that Jesus, on two occasions (John 2:13–17; Matthew 21:12–13), drove out the money changers, declaring, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers” (Matthew 21:13). The Court of the Women, the only area of the temple complex in which women could worship, contained the poor boxes. One of these boxes was where the poor widow offered her two mites (Luke 21:1–4). Ceremonially clean Jewish men could enter the Court of Israel, and the Court of Priests, where the altar stood, was accessible only to Levitical priests.

Non-Jews were allowed to enter the Court of the Gentiles, but they were forbidden to go any farther than the outer court. The inner temple courtyards were enclosed by a balustrade, and at the entrances to it notices were posted in both Greek and Latin, warning foreigners and uncircumcised persons that crossing into one of the other courtyards was punishable by death. One of those ancient notices is now on display in a museum in Istanbul. On Paul’s last visit to Jerusalem, some Jews stirred up a crowd and grabbed Paul in the temple, alleging that he had taken Trophimus, a Gentile, into one of the forbidden courtyards (Acts 21:27–29). Paul was innocent of the charge, but the mob beat him with the intent to kill him; it was the quick action of a Roman garrison commander that preserved Paul’s life on that occasion (verses 30–34).

Acts 21

1599 Geneva Bible

21 1 Paul goeth toward Jerusalem: 8 at Caesarea he talketh with Philip the Evangelist: 10 Agabus foretelleth him of his bonds. 17 After he came to Jerusalem, 26 and into the Temple, 27 The Jews laid hands on him: 32 Lysias the captain taketh him from them.

1 And [a]as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the day following unto the Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara.

2 And we found a ship that went over unto Phoenicia, and went aboard, and set forth.

3 And when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arrived at Tyre: for there the ship unladed the burden.

4 And when we had found disciples, we tarried there seven days. And they told Paul through the [b]Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 But when the days were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied us with their wives and children, even out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, prayed.

6 Then when we had embraced one another, we took ship, and they returned home.

7 And when we had ended the course from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

8 And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the Evangelist, which was one of the [c]seven Deacons, and abode with him.

9 Now he had four daughters, virgins, which did [d]prophesy.

10 And as we tarried there many days, there came a certain Prophet from Judea, named Agabus.

11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

12 And when we had heard these things, both we and others of the same place besought him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.

13 Then Paul answered, and said, What do ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus.

14 [e]So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

15 And after those days we trussed up our fardels, and went up to Jerusalem.

16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18 And the next day Paul went in with us unto James: and all the Elders were there assembled.

19 [f]And when he had embraced them, he told by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.

20 [g]So when they heard it, they glorified God, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Jews there are which believe, and they are all zealous of the Law:

21 Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sons, neither to live after the customs.

22 What is then to be done? the multitude must needs come together: for they shall hear that thou art come.

23 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, which have made a vow,

24 Them take, and [h]purify thyself with them, and [i]contribute with them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know, that those things, whereof they have been informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest and keepest the Law.

25 For as touching the Gentiles, which believe, we have written, and determined that they observe no such thing, but that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entered into the Temple, [j]declaring the accomplishment of the days of the purification, until that an offering should be offered for everyone of them.

27 [k]And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia (when they saw him in the Temple) moved all the people, and laid hands on him,

28 Crying, Men of Israel, help: this is the man that teachest all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place: moreover, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

29 For they had seen before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.

30 Then all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the Temple, and forthwith the doors were shut.

31 [l]But as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was on an uproar.

32 Who immediately took soldiers and Centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

33 Then the chief Captain came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

34 And one cried this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castle.

35 And when he came unto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the soldiers, for the violence of the people.

36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

37 And as Paul should have been led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

38 Art not thou the [m]Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

39 Then Paul said, Doubtless, I am a man which am a Jew, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous city of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

40 And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the grieces, and beckoned with the hand unto the people, and when there was made great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

The monument in honour of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour (1810-1861), the work of the Ferrara sculptor Stefano Galletti, was created following a public competition in 1885 and inaugurated in 1895, on the occasion of the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of Rome as the capital of Rome.

The work, about 17 meters high, consists of a granite base, surmounted by a high pedestal in Bardiglio marble, on which is placed the bronze statue of the great Piedmontese statesman, facing the Palace of Justice built by Guglielmo Calderini in 1882-1911. On the base of the pedestal rest four groups of bronze sculptures that allude to the Unification of Italy. To the south, at Cavour's feet, Italy and Rome, represented as warrior women: the first is standing, with the crown and the Savoy cross and a hand resting on the bundle of rods; the second is seated, with the Savoy shield and the helmet on her head. To the west and east are Thought and Action, both depicted as naked young men: the first half-reclining, with his head covered and his head bent; the second in the act of rising up with sword in hand. To the north, the Force, represented Paid Advertisement

Further down is the dedicatory inscription, the date and two bas-reliefs: behind the Action weapons of the House of Savoy from various eras, behind the Thought symbols of science, technology, geographical discoveries and political-philosophical thought, which want to signify Italian excellence and the foundation of Unity.

Great importance was given to the ceremony of laying the first stone in which the royals of Italy participated.

This is how "Il Messaggero" of Sunday, September 22, 1895 describes the event: "On March 14, 1885, in the presence of King Umberto, Queen Margherita, and many authorities, with a mischievous north wind, in a square in the Prati di Castello the policemen lowered the first stone of the monument to Camillo Benso Count of Cavour to the bottom of a hole.

Together with the block of marble that bore the date of the ceremony carved, a parchment and several coins and medals of the present era were lowered into the hole; the king and queen threw a few splatters of lime on it with a silver spoon, the municipal concert played the anthem.

When the notary Luci had finished reading the minutes, Duke Torlonia begged the king to sign it: King Umberto took one of the pens that were on the table located in the middle of the stage, and signed; then he passed the pen to the queen, who signed it too."

Discovery of the First Stone

During the excavations for the construction of the underground car park in Piazza Cavour, in addition to archaeological finds from the Roman, early medieval and Renaissance periods, the foundation stone of the monument was found: a block of travertine (80x80x30 cm) placed about 10 m deep, on the vertical of the statue, inside the imposing foundation nut.

In a rectangular compartment carved into the upper side of the stone was kept the sealed lead tube containing a parchment, two silver coins and one gold coin. The parchment reported the history of the construction of the monument and the description of the ceremony of laying the foundation stone. The tube was opened during a public ceremony on 18 October 2010, in the presence of the Mayor of Rome Giovanni Alemanno, the Secretary General Liborio Iudicello, the Councillor for Cultural Policies and Communication Umberto Croppi and the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage Umberto Broccoli.

English:

The monument in honour of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour (1810-1861), work of the sculptor Stefano Galletti of Ferrara, was chosen by public competition in 1885 and inaugurated in 1895 to mark the 25 anniversary of Rome as capital of a United Italy.

The work, which stands 17 meters tall, is composed of a granite base topped with a high pedestal in bardiglio marble upon which a bronze statue of the Piemontese statesman stands facing the Palace of Justice, designed and built by Guglielmo Calderini from 1882-1911.

Resting against the base are four groups of sculptures in bronze that refer to the unification of Italy. On the south face, at Cavour's feet, Italy and Rome are represented as female warriors, the first standing holding a wreath and cross of the House of Savoy with one hand resting on a bundle of rods, the second seated holding a shield of the House of Savoy and wearing a helmet. The east and west faces are Thought and Action both depicted as nude youth, the first semireclining with covered face and downcast head, the other in the act of rising with sword in hand.

Great importance was given to the ceremony of the placing of the first stone, attended by the Italian royalty. In its Sunday edition of September 22, 1895, the Roman newspaper "Il Messaggero" described the event with these words:

"On March 14th, 1885 in piazza dei Prati di Castello, under a brisk north wind, King Umberto, Queen Margherita and many high officials presided over the lowering into place of the first foundation stone of a monument to Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour.

Together with the block of marble bearing the date of the ceremony, members of the city police force also lowered into the pit a parchment, and some coins and medals of the time. The King and Queen sprinkled the objects with lime from a silver spoon while the city band an anthem.

The notary, Mr. Luci read a record of the proceedings which the Duke Torlonia asked the King to sign. King Umberto took a pen from the table in the middle of the platform and signed the document before passing the Paid Advertisement

pen to the Queen who also signed it."

The discovery of the foundation stone

During excavations for the construction of an underground car park in Piazza Cavour, in addition to the uncovering of archaeological finds from ancient Rome, the high Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the foundation stone of the monument was discovered. A block of travertine marble (80x80x30 cm), it lay at a depth of 10 meters beneath the statue, within the area of the monument's imposing base. In a rectangular space ace carved in to the top side of the block was a sealed lead tube which contained a parchment, one gold and two silver coins. The parchment reported the story of the monuments design and construction and the ceremony of the placing of the first stone. The tube was opened during a public ceremony on October 18, 2010 in the presence of the Mayor Giovanni Alemanno, the Secretary General Liborio Ludicello, the city Counsellor for Culture and Communication Umberto Croppi and the Superintendent of Monuments and Cultural Properties Umberto Broccoli.

Camillo Paolo Filippo Giulio Benso, Count of Cavour, Isolabella and Leri (Italian: [kaˈmillo ˈbɛnso]; 10 August 1810 – 6 June 1861), generally known as the Count of Cavour (/kəˈvʊər/ kə-VOOR; Italian: Conte di Cavour [ˈkonte di kaˈvur]) or simply Cavour, was an Italian politician, statesman, businessman, economist, and noble, and a leading figure in the movement towards Italian unification. He was one of the leaders of the Historical Right and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1852, a position he maintained (except for a six-month resignation) until his death, throughout the Second Italian War of Independence and Giuseppe Garibaldi's campaigns to unite Italy. After the declaration of a united Kingdom of Italy, Cavour took office as the first Prime Minister of Italy; he died after only three months in office and did not live to see the Roman Question solved through the complete unification of the country after the Capture of Rome in 1870.

The Cox Report's 'Dirty Little Secret'

Arms Control Today

Jonathan D. Pollack

Back to Cox Report Main Page

To the uninitiated reader, the Cox Report presents an ominous picture of pervasive, sustained Chinese espionage and illicit technology acquisition breathtaking in its scope, scale and effectiveness. The document alleges extreme laxity in U.S. security procedures and a seriously flawed export control process, both of which were purportedly exploited by China's intelligence organizations and weapons manufacturers. In the committee's view, these actions were knowingly abetted by American scientists prepared to disclose U.S. nuclear weapons secrets and by American aerospace firms intent on securing commercial advantage with China, irrespective of the national security consequences.

Given the substantial excisions in the declassified version of the report, it is impossible to fully assess the potential consequences of China's acquisition of U.S. nuclear weapons design and technical information, however Beijing acquired such data. The report's judgments are sweeping and unequivocal, but the evidence supporting these claims seems far more limited and ambiguous, suggesting that the compromise of information may have been far less extensive than asserted by the report's authors.

But the study's shortcomings extend well beyond its inferences and assertions; they concern its basic premises and assumptions. Despite the document's prodigious bulk and detail, it is remarkably ahistorical. In particular, it is almost totally devoid of reference to the political, military, intelligence, and dual-use technology ties with China assiduously pursued at the highest levels of the U.S. government during the 1970s and 1980s.

Specific espionage claims must be investigated fully, and the acute lapses in security procedures at U.S. weapons laboratories undoubtedly require immediate attention. But instead of telling a larger story, the committee simply accumulates disparate information from an array of sources from which worst-case judgments were then drawn. As a consequence, media coverage focused almost exclusively (and uncritically) on the most sensational allegations, failing to ask how and why the United States and China were drawn into ever-closer dealings with one another.

Amid the report's dire claims and forecasts, a dirty little secret goes entirely unmentioned. From the very onset of the Sino-U.S. relationship in the early 1970s, successive Republican and Democratic administrations believed that the enhancement of Chinese power—as a counterbalance to Soviet power—was in the national security interest of the United States, and persistently sought to advance this goal in the ensuing two decades. This U.S. commitment was repeatedly imparted to senior Chinese officials in both word and deed. The United States was intent on strengthening relations in a host of highly sensitive areas and shaping China's expectations of the United States and its pursuit of U.S. high technology. The Chinese may well have exploited these opportunities by all available means, but they were walking through a door that the U.S. government had long since decided to open.

The U.S. negotiating record with China amply confirms this judgment. From the earliest years of Sino-American relations, senior U.S. officials (including then National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger) provided Chinese interlocutors with highly sensitive U.S. intelligence data on Soviet military capabilities and deployments—without the Chinese having ever solicited this information. The Nixon administration sought to coordinate its diplomatic and security actions with China in Vietnam, in South Asia, and in relation to Taiwan, Japan and Korea. Under President Ford, the United States explicitly encouraged major European allies to relax their export policies toward China, including on weapons sales; the Chinese were regularly kept informed of these actions. U.S. policymakers also sought to find the means to permit sales of U.S. computers to China that it would not export to the Soviet Union.

Under the Carter administration, these ties broadened and deepened. The United States provided Chinese officials with regular intelligence briefings; both countries also undertook active intelligence collaboration (in part to monitor Soviet compliance with the SALT accords). Other programs heightened collaboration against Soviet actions in Afghanistan and Vietnamese actions in Cambodia. These activities accelerated further under the Reagan administration, including the provision (with Chinese assistance) of U.S. Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to mujaheddin insurgents resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

But the Reagan administration's decision to expedite technology transfer to China bears most directly on the report's findings. As the Chinese sought to develop a civilian industrial base where none or little had existed before, technology transfer from the United States was pivotal. Much of this effort involved technologies and know-how with inherent relevance to both civilian and military programs. It included provision of a massive array of technical and design data for assembly of McDonnell-Douglas aircraft in Shanghai, including an MD-82 coproduction agreement signed in 1985—the largest U.S.-Chinese industrial project of the past two decades.

The Cox Report documents Chinese violations of U.S. export control regulations in the purchase and disposition of advanced machine tools from McDonnell-Douglas. But the larger collaborative effort (designed to meet exacting Federal Aviation Administration certification standards for indigenous production of commercial aircraft in China) was comprehensive in its scope. By enhancing a wide array of technical skills and industrial-technology applications required in aircraft manufacture, the project facilitated the skill base of the Chinese aviation industry as a whole, including the military sector.

The report also fails to acknowledge that the Reagan administration initiated foreign military sales (FMS) programs to China, including sales to military end-users, provision of technical know-how to Chinese military research and development, and active collaboration between U.S. defense contractors and Chinese counterparts. By 1987, these programs comprised avionics packages for Chinese combat aircraft, sales of anti-submarine warfare torpedos and gas turbine engines for the Chinese navy (the latter still in use on Chinese destroyers), sales of artillery-locating radar and the upgrading of artillery production capabilities. Other transactions included sales of Blackhawk helicopters and an array of non-lethal military equipment.

Successive U.S. administrations were not oblivious to the multiple implications of U.S. technology transfer to China. The commercial links were undoubtedly important, but the security implications were also inescapable. A more militarily credible China would be better able to counter Soviet power, and it would require the Soviet Union to deploy additional military assets in Asia. It was also assumed that (in return for U.S. technological assistance) the Chinese would exercise political and military restraint in relation to Taiwan, Japan and Korea.

The United States therefore saw China as an asset rather than a threat to U.S. security interests. Senior Chinese leaders acknowledged Chinese industrial and military backwardness to U.S. officials and corporate representatives, and they also made clear the longer-term Chinese intention to emerge as an advanced industrial, technological, scientific and military power. The Chinese repeatedly urged the United States to further relax its export control policies, and likely assumed that the United States would quietly facilitate Chinese efforts to acquire an extensive array of dual-use technologies.

Additional developments throughout the latter half of the 1980s—including purchase of more advanced computers, acquisition of sophisticated machine tools, prospective sales of nuclear reactors, and an explosive growth in the training of Chinese scientists and students in the United States—attested to the consolidation of U.S.-China relations, with an ever-increasing focus on advancing China's technical and industrial capabilities, many with potential relevance to China's military modernization.

In addition, following the Challenger space shuttle disaster, the Reagan administration approved launches of U.S. satellites from Chinese rockets. It was hardly a state secret that Chinese launch vehicles (the Long March 3-B and 2-E) were derived from the same family of missiles used to deliver Chinese nuclear weapons, and that the space launch program was overseen by Chinese military personnel. Underwriting the costs of Chinese launches (there have been approximately 30 launches involving U.S. aerospace companies since 1988) undoubtedly enhanced Chinese space capabilities.

In the aftermath of several egregious launch failures in 1995 and 1996, Hughes, Loral and other major aerospace companies reviewed Chinese assessments of these failures, though Chinese aerospace personnel bristled at the implied criticisms of their programs offered by foreign experts. Alleged violations of U.S. export control provisions and security procedures by several of these companies remain under investigation. But U.S. companies had an obvious incentive to encourage the Chinese to pinpoint and remedy design and manufacturing flaws in the launch vehicles, since further catastrophic failures would have jeopardized their collaborative programs. These reviews by U.S. engineers and technical personnel very likely reinforced modifications in launch vehicle designs that the Chinese themselves had begun to consider. So construed, the Chinese benefitted from U.S. technical expertise. But it defies comprehension that it was in anyone's interest to depend on unreliable launch vehicles.

However, the Tiananmen crisis of 1989 had shattered the working consensus between the executive branch and the Congress on closer U.S.-China relations. Equally significant, the collapse of the Soviet Union eroded the strategic assumptions underlying U.S.-Chinese defense collaboration. The Bush administration sought to retain some of these dealings, but changes in U.S. strategy were already underway, including a substantial augmentation of U.S. military sales to Taiwan as the Chinese increasingly pursued weapons purchases from Russia. The Clinton administration, with intermittent success and also some major setbacks, sought to restore a modicum of civility in Sino-U.S. military relations, but it was not prepared to revisit the post-Tiananmen sanctions precluding military sales to China. At the same time, the scope of U.S. defense links with Taiwan continued to grow during the 1990s.

Thus, the Cox Report appears when the strategic divergence between the United States and China has widened, and when the Chinese are increasingly assertive about longer-term modernization goals that are no longer animated by animosities with Moscow. Indeed, Russia and China share common cause in seeking to inhibit, or at least caution, the United States from the unilateral exercise of its military power. One does not need to subscribe to the more conspiratorial Chinese renderings of U.S. strategy to discern the essential Chinese logic: officials in Beijing see the United States as intent on impeding the growth of Chinese national power and the enhancement of its strategic position.

Given the deliberate pace of Chinese weapons development, it is far from certain that Beijing deems a major acceleration of its weapons programs as either feasible or warranted. Indeed, China's enhancement of its strategic weapons capabilities has remained measured and incremental. If the Cox Committee's claims of Chinese possession of a full array of U.S. nuclear weapons information are accurate, it makes little sense that Beijing would have failed to exploit this knowledge. But if the Chinese conclude that the United States views China in essentially malign terms, an enhanced Chinese national defense effort, quite possibly including accelerated modernization of Chinese strategic weapons capabilities, seems very likely.

But the much larger transformation underway in China concerns the country's mushrooming involvement in global commerce, not its military development. Even as many in the United States exhibit increased unease about the implications of the growth of Chinese military power, the scale and scope of U.S.-Chinese commercial and technological interactions has never been greater. Information and technology flows between the two countries have accelerated dramatically over the past decade; as a consequence, the provision of high-end U.S. technologies to China far exceeds the undertakings of the 1980s. Short of a draconian effort to restrict these transactions and to pursue far more binding multilateral export controls, the momentum of these developments will not be slowed significantly, let alone reversed. Moreover, any such effort would very likely prove self-defeating, both politically and commercially.

Indeed, less than three weeks after release of the report, the committee chairman, Representative Christopher Cox, endorsed a major relaxation of constraints on U.S. computer exports to China. By consenting to a fivefold increase in the allowable speed of computers to be licensed for export to China, he acceded to inescapable commercial and technological realities, even as the committee's report had spoken in worrisome tones about the diverse applications such higher-speed computers could permit.

Although the United States still endeavors to fence off (both literally and figuratively) those activities with immediate national security implications, it is increasingly difficult to square this circle. In the final analysis, the dire tone of the Cox Report says far more about the United States than it does about China. Resolving this fundamental ambivalence about the growth of Chinese power may not prove possible, but the effects of an ominously worded document could make the search for a tolerable center of gravity in the Sino-American relationship ever more difficult.

When the Pew Research Center surveyed Mormons in America about their place in society, more than 60 percent of the participants said that Americans “are uninformed about Mormonism.” Mormons make up about 2 percent of the American population—about the same as Jews—but they’re not sure that the rest of the country quite understands or accepts them. Overwhelmingly, most Mormons described misperceptions about their religion or “lack of acceptance in American society.”

But there’s at least one place in American society where Mormons have found an unusual degree of acceptance—in agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the CIA, which see Mormons as particularly desirable recruits and have a reputation for hiring a disproportionate number of people who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

While this comes as a surprise to most people, in Washington and particularly among people who work with or report on intelligence and law enforcement, it’s common knowledge. And occasionally it leaks into popular culture: In his 2009 memoir Agent Bishop, Mike McPheters describes his years doubling as an FBI agent and Mormon bishop—a community leadership position he inherited from another FBI agent. In 2015, a (controversial) subplot on ABC’s Quantico featured a Mormon recruit whose upstanding reputation hid a dark secret.

But, in reality, Mormons end up in these agencies for perfectly logical reasons. The disproportionate number of Mormons is usually chalked up to three factors: Mormon people often have strong foreign language skills, from missions overseas; a relatively easy time getting security clearances, given their abstention from drugs and alcohol; and a willingness to serve.

There have been Mormon FBI agents since early in the bureau’s history. Some accounts allege that J. Edgar Hoover had a particular interest in recruiting Mormon agents: one well-known Mormon leader, J. Martell Bird, served in Hoover’s heyday, from the 1940s through the end of the ’60s, and there’s a famous story of a Mormon agent who, in 1940, just five years after the modern FBI was born from an earlier Bureau of Investigation, was tasked with supporting the agency’s first double agent in Germany.

But it wasn’t until the 1970s that outsiders started paying close attention and turning up connections between prominent Mormons and the CIA, Watergate, and other government activities. A 1975 report on the CIA, for instance, included the tidbit that one Mormon-owned PR firm made some “overseas offices available…as cover for Agency employees operating abroad.” And in the 1980s a Brigham Young University professor told the authors of The Mormon Corporate Empire, a 1985 social science study on the church and its power, that “we’ve never had any trouble placing anyone who has applied to the CIA.”

“Every year, they take almost anybody who applies,” he said.

It was around this time, too, that two cases put the Mormon members of the FBI dramatically into the public eye. In 1984, FBI agent Richard W. Miller was arrested; he later became the first FBI agent ever to be indicted for and eventually found guilty of spying for the Soviet Union. (Miller wasn’t the first Mormon to be in this position, though: earlier in 1984, a Mormon who had worked in Army intelligence was arrested for passing secrets to the Soviets.) Miller had been recruited at BYU in the 1960s, the New York Times reported. At the time, the FBI had been particularly interested in candidates with strong Spanish skills, and Miller had minored in the language. By the 1980s, though, he was under close supervision at work and had started dabbling in petty theft, when a Soviet woman approached him.

Miller had been assigned to interview émigrés like Svetlana Ogorodnikov, but she was much better at her job than he was at his. His performance as an agent had been lackluster, and his personal life was not going much better, as, not long before his arrest, he was excommunicated from the Mormon church for adultery. Soon, he and Svetlana were sleeping together and discussing plans to exchange information for money. Miller later said he was trying to use Svetlana as a source, not the other way around, but he did pass a classified document to her and her husband, Nikolay.

At Miller’s trial, testimony revealed a tangle of religion and work at the Los Angeles bureau where he worked. One Mormon FBI agent said that he’d understood that Miller had been put under his command, on a prestigious counterintelligence squad, “because of our common religious background.” Another agent, Matt Perez, testified that Richard T. Bretzing, the head of the L.A. bureau and a Mormon bishop, had protected Miller and kept him from being fired.

Not long before Miller’s Soviet dalliance came to light, Perez, a Latino FBI agent, had filed his first discrimination complaint with the equal employment opportunity office. In the course of the next few years, he, along with more than 300 other agents, would file a class action suit against the FBI for racial and religious discrimination. Part of their complaint was that their Mormon higher-ups had favored agents of their own religion.

The judge ruled in the Hispanic agents’ favor on the racial discrimination charge, and though he rejected the religious discrimination charges, he did write that the testimony at the trial showed that Mormon leaders “made personnel decisions which favored members of their church at the expense of Hispanic class members.”

Together, these two cases, which were extensively covered by the media, lodged a new idea in the public mind: There was a “Mormon mafia” in the FBI.

It’s hard to put exact numbers on this phenomenon, either then or now. The agency’s public demographic statistics do not include the religious backgrounds of its officers, but the FBI isn’t known for its diversity. Even after its Hispanic officers won that discrimination case and after other lawsuits over similar hiring issues, most people working for the FBI are white men. What is known is that agencies like the CIA and FBI still recruit at BYU, looking for students with language skills and an interest in public service, although even the university doesn’t know how many of its students ultimately end up in these jobs. “We’ve tried to track down employment and recruitment numbers, and it’s really hard to pin this down,” a BYU spokesperson said.

These aren’t necessarily glamorous jobs. Many of the Mormon recruits to the CIA work in analysis, the desk jockeys of the intelligence world, and leave without building a whole career in government. For those who do, though, there’s an easy move to make when they’re ready to leave government service. Often, after a long career in the FBI, agents will join the Latter-day Saints’ Security Department. Bird, the FBI agent who worked with Hoover, became head of church security; Richard Bretzing, the L.A. bureau chief who was so key in the spread of the idea of a Mormon Mafia, left the bureau in 1988—and became managing director of the same office.

The Palazzo Moroni is a palace located on Via Porta #12 in the historic center of the upper town of Bergamo, Italy. The palace is a civic art museum, as well as used for cultural functions. The building, noted for its Baroque interior decorations, is presently managed by the Fondazione di Palazzo Moroni in conjunction with the city after a donation by Count Antonio Moroni.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Moroni

Moroni (/məˈroʊnaɪ/) is described in the Book of Mormon as the last Nephite prophet, historian, and military commander who, according to the faith of the Latter Day Saint movement, became the Angel Moroni who presented the golden plates to Joseph Smith.

Mantua was settled in the mid-19th century when members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were sent by Lorenzo Snow to the valley to grow flax. The first group arrived in Mantua in 1863 (although a sign at the main entry route states "Founded 1864"),[6] and were all émigrés from Denmark led by Hans Jens Jensen.

Mormon Freemason Brigham Young, 1801 – 1877 “The Prophet” of the Romish-styled Mormon Church, 1844 – 1877 The birth of Masonic Mormonism, and thus the fame of Brigham Young, can only be understood in light of America’s anti-Masonic movement of the 1820s. In August of 1826 Captain William Morgan of the Batavia Lodge of New York made public his Illustrations of Masonry By One of the Fraternity Who Has Devoted Thirty Years to the Subject. For revealing the first three degrees of Blue Lodge Masonry, Morgan was kidnapped; on the 19th of September he was drowned in the Niagara River. The people of western New York, where Morgan had lived, rose in all their might and attempted to find and punish the murderers. But to their surprise, sheriffs, witnesses, jurors and judges hindered the investigation, as they too were secret Masons bound by oaths of loyalty to the brotherhood over all civil oaths of duty to their communities. The outrage led to an anti-Masonic convention in 1828; in 1829 Baptist Preacher David Bernard published his Light On Free Masonry, revealing the first twenty degrees of the Craft. By 1830 tens of thousands of Northern Masons had disbanded their lodges. It was at this time Masonic Mormonism was born! On April 6, 1830, in the very same state out of which arose the anti-Masonic movement, Mason Joseph Smith (boldly calling himself “a Second Mohammed”) privately founded a “New Religious Society” (surnamed after the “Society of Jesus”)—“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” Fully intending to build “the temple of Zion, the center of the earthly kingdom of Jesus Christ,” Zionist Smith fell into disrepute over his polygamy. In 1844 he was murdered in jail by a mob while giving the Masonic “Grand Hailing Sign of Distress,” and Brigham Young became “The Prophet.” In 1846 at Council Bluffs, while moving 10,000 of his followers West, Young met with one of the Order’s most powerful American Jesuits, Pierre-Jean De Smet. The Jesuit directed Young to move his “Saints” to the Great Valley of the Salt Lake; Young obeyed, and upon arrival organized his new nation of “Deseret” along the lines of the Order’s socialist Paraguayan Reductions. In 1857 Masonic President James Buchanan, controlled by the Jesuits since his early 1857 arsenic poisoning, began a political agitation over the governorship of Utah, igniting the bloodless “Utah War.” He dispatched a military force led by Masonic Army Colonel Albert Sydney Johnston to put down Masonic Young’s refusal to submit to Federal jurisdiction. In this, Young’s “Deseret” only benefited, Johnston allowing Mormon raiders to “steal” 800 Army oxen. That same year Young ordered Bishop John D. Lee to lead a force composed of Mormons and Paiute Indians to murder nearly 130 “heretic” Protestant emigrants at Mountain Meadows—pursuant to the Order’s wicked Council of Trent and bloody Jesuit Oath. In the Spring of 1858 Masonic President Buchanan arranged for a free pardon if the Mormons would submit to Federal authority. The chief negotiator between both parties was the Jesuit, Pierre-Jean De Smet! Jesuit Coadjutor Brigham Young died in 1877, and will one day answer to the Lord Jesus Christ!"

"Figure 18 — Famous Morman/Mason during Anti-Masonic Movement.

3rd degree Joseph Smith (1805-1844)

Founder of the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Born in a poor family that migrated to Palmyra NY in 1815.

The angel Moroni is said to have revealed the Book of Mormon to Smith, written on golden plates, which he was able to transcribe by the use of "Urim and Thummim," instruments of magical power.

His critics say that the Book of Mormon is based on an imaginative tale written in Biblical style by a former Presbyterian minister, Samuel Spaulding, but never published.

The manuscript was delivered to Smith by Sidney Rigdon, who helped revise it. Shortly afterwards Rigdon became one of the presidents of the church.

Book of Mormon was printed in Palmyra, NY in 1830, during the height of the Anti-Masonic Movement. The church was founded on April 6 of that year at the home of Peter Whitmer in Fayette, NY. Smith's first wife was the widow of former Freemason Capt. William Morgan, who was murdered by three Masons four years earlier. In 1831, Smith, with his new wife and band of Mormons, moved to Kirtland, OH, then to Missouri in 1838.

The Mormons ran into trouble at Independence and Far West, MO, and were removed from the state by the militia and settled at Commerce, IL.

Smith, Rigdon, and others were arrested for "murder, treason, burglary, arson and larceny," but allowed to escape and join the others at Commerce.

Commerce was renamed Nauvoo by the Mormons. Here Smith governed despotically with the aid of a small group of advisors.

In Commerce was a Masonic Lodge to which the leaders of the Mormons attached themselves. When the Mormons renamed the city Nauvoo, so too was the Lodge renamed. In Smith's journal, March 15, 1842, he wrote:

"I officiated as Grand Chaplain at the installation of the Nauvoo Lodge of Freemasons at the Grove near the Temple. Grand Master Jonas, of Columbus, being present, a large number of people assembled for the occasion. The day was exceedingly fine; all things were done in order. In the evening I received the first degree in Freemasonry in Nauvoo Lodge." The following day Smith added, "I was with the Masonic Lodge and rose to the sublime degree." At the same time Sidney Rigdon received his degrees "at sight" with Smith.

Over the next five months, the Nauvoo Lodge initiated (1O) 256 candidates and raised (3rd degree) 243. Consequently, Bodley Lodge No. 1 of Illinois preferred charges against Nauvoo Lodge on July 15, 1842, asking the Grand Lodge of Illinois to "make inquiry into the manner the officers of Nauvoo Lodge were installed by the Grand Master of this State, and by what authority the Grand Master initiated (1O), passed (2nd degree) and raised (3rd degree) Smith and Rigdon to the first three degrees of Freemasonry all at once. A special Masonic committee visited Nauvoo, inspected the records and work and recommended that the lodge be permitted to resume labor. After this inspection by Grand Lodge, the Mormons did so much Masonic work that two more lodges were established; Rising Sun Lodge at Montrose, IA, and a dispensation requested at Keokuk, IA. Again the Grand Lodge ordered an investigation, and this time the Mormons refused the committee access to the minutes. The Grand Lodge then struck all the Mormon Lodges from its rolls. However, Mormon Lodges refused to recognize this, and continued their Masonic work. On Friday, April 5, 1844 the Mormons dedicated the Masonic Hall at Nauvoo.

In the History of the Church, Smith wrote that he attended the ceremonies; that about 550 Masons from various parts of the world were present and took part in a procession that was formed, accompanied by the Nauvoo brass band; that the ceremonies were in charge of Hyrum Smith, Worshipful Master; that the principal address of the occasion was delivered by Apostle Erastus Snow; and that he, Joseph Smith and Dr. Goforth also addressed the assembly; and that all visiting Masons were given dinner in the Masonic Hall at the expense of Nauvoo Lodge.

If the above dedication is the same ceremony and date as the cornerstone laying, there is a discrepancy. In 1954 the Mormon Church purchased the old hall for restoration as an historic shrine. The cornerstone box was removed and sent to Salt Lake City, where in the presence of President David O. McKay and the twelve apostles, it was opened; the original documents were retained in Utah, and photostatic copies returned, to be redeposited in two new boxes in the cornerstone at Nauvoo. This ceremony took place June 24, 1954, being reported in the newspapers as "exactly 111 years after the first ceremony."

Inside the cornerstone a document states that Smith was not present in the procession or ceremony, as he was then being sought on an extradition warrant issued by Governor Ford of Missouri. (Missouri never had a man named Ford as governor; Gov. Reynolds had recently died and Lt. Gov. Marmaduke had taken his place.) Although Smith's signature is among the 50 or more names of the prominent Mormons on the document, it was noted therein that it was added later.

When Smith claimed the revelation of Polygamy in 1843, the church split. On June 27, 1844, Smith and his brother Hyrum were both arrested and jailed at Carthage IL. Before nightfall, both men were shot and killed by a mob. Smith must have recognized the mob as Masons, for he gave the Masonic grand hailing sign of distress just before he was shot.

Many of the symbols and ceremonies used by the Mormon Church today are of Masonic origin. For example, carved in the stone walls of the Mormon Temple in Utah is the Masonic Square & Compass and all seeing eye. On the building which houses the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is the Masonic 6-pointed star. See S&B, Vol. 1, 3rd ed, Introduction and Appendix 18."

3rd degree Hyrum Smith (? - 1844)

Brother of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. Killed with his brother by a mob in the jail at Carthage IL on June 27, 1844. He was first Senior Warden of the Nauvoo Lodge at Nauvoo IL. After the Grand Lodge had ordered the dispensation for this lodge returned, it continued work clandestinely, with Hyrum as Master. In this capacity he officiated at the dedication ceremonies of the Masonic Hall at Nauvoo on April 5, 1844, and his signature is one of those in the cornerstone documents. It has been claimed that both Hyrum and Heber C. Kimball were Masons in Ontario Co. NY, before becoming Mormons.

The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Missouri is simply an arm of Freemasonry.

32nd degree Frederick M. Smith

(1874-1946)

Scottish Rite Mason — York Rite Mason — Shriner

Frederick was president of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (1915-1946). He was son of Joseph Smith, first president of the reorganized branch, who was the namesake and grandson of Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism.

Frederick's father established the reorganized branch of the church in opposition to the Brigham Young group in Utah. Frederick was a graduate of Graceland College in 1898 and 1923; at U. of Missouri, 1908 09; A.M. from U. of Kansas in 1911; and Ph.D. from Clark U. in 1916. He was first counselor of the church, 1902-15, and on the death of his father in 1914, succeeded him as the second president. Frederick was associate editor of The Saints' Herald, 1900-04, and editor after 1917. Frederick became a Mason in 1917. On March 16 of that year, he was raised (3rd degree) in Carbondale Lodge No. 70, Carbondale KN. He was affiliated with Orient Lodge No. 546, Kansas City, MO on April 28, 1928, and was Master of the Lodge in 1934; Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of Missouri in 1929-30; and Grand Chaplain, Grand Lodge of Missouri, 1940-41.

Frederick was Exalted in Orient Chapter No. 102, R.A.M., Kansas City, June 26, 1928; Greeted in Shekinah Council No. 24, R.&S.M., Kansas City on Sept. 12, 1928; Knighted in Oriental Commandery No. 35, K.T., Kansas City, Dec. 21, 1928; and affiliated with Palestine Commandery No. 17, K.T., of Independence, MO, June 2, 1938. Received 32nd degree AASR (SJ) at Fort Scott KN on April 26, 1927 and affiliated with Western Missouri Consistory in Kansas City, Jan. 25, 1933. He received Shrine in Mirza Temple, Pittsburg KN, May 25, 1927 and affiliated with Ararat in Kansas City, Oct. 8, 1929, and was Potentate in 1941. Served on the board of directors of Shrine Hospital, St. Louis. Was Member of Missouri Lodge of Research."

The friendliness of the Mormons towards Catholics is attributed to their appreciation that their settlement in the great Salt Lake Valley is due to having been directed to it by Fr. Pierre Jean de Smet, the great Jesuit missionary and explorer, who met and was entertained by Brigham Young in Council Bluffs, while the Mormons were on their trek West. Writing to his nephew, Fr. de Smet said: "They asked me a thousand questions about the regions I had explored, and the valley I have just described to you, pleased them greatly from the account I gave of it. Was that what determined them to settle there? I would not dare affirm it. They are there!"

PART X THE PRESERVATION AND INCREASE OF THE SOCIETY

410 §1. As a sign of gratitude and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let that feast be solemnly celebrated; and on that day is to be renewed the consecration by which the Society on January 1, 1872, dedicated and consecrated itself totally and perpetually.

§2. The consecration to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary is to be renewed each year on the feast of the Immaculate Heart.[1]

411 The sense of belonging and responsibility that each individual one of Ours has toward the whole Society should be manifested in a knowledge of our spirituality, our history, our saints, our apostolic labors, and our men, especially of those who are suffering difficulties for the sake of Christ; it is to be manifested as well by maintaining Ignatian mobility and flexibility with a view to helping any region of the Society whatsoever.[2]

412 §1. All our members should have at heart a shared concern for attracting new members to the Society, especially by prayer and the example of their lives as individuals and in community.[3]

§2. Therefore, we must do everything possible actively to present the Society in such a way that those whom God calls will know and appreciate who and what we are and what is our distinctive way of proceeding in the following of Christ.[4]

§3. We must also promote vocations as widely as possible, in order to reflect the culture and experience of those we seek to serve, including minority cultures, immigrants, and indigenous people.[5]

413 The Society should always show itself bound to its benefactors in charity and gratitude. Superiors should ensure that prayers are offered for them and other appropriate signs of our gratitude are shown them.[6]

414 In the perfect observance of all the Constitutions and in the particular fulfillment of our Institute, our formed members should excel, setting a good example and spreading the good odor of Christ, keeping before their eyes the serious obligation they have of giving edification especially to our younger members.[ 7]

415 All by earnest reading and meditation (in particular, at the time of the annual Spiritual Exercises, renewal of vows, monthly recollection, beginning of the year, and so forth) should strive ever to know, esteem, and love better our Constitutions and the special nature of our Institute,[ 8] which are to be faithfully observed, and which for each and all of us are the one, true, and safe way that surely leads to the perfection to which our Lord calls and invites all sons of the Society.[9] §2. Major superiors, especially at the time of the annual visitation, should see that this is faithfully observed.

Freemasons FDR and Marriner S. Eccles, Fed Chairman, 1935 #363 With the Company using short seller Joseph P. Kennedy and its Federal Reserve Bank to cause the Great Depression of 1929, the Order’s calculated solution was its socialist New Deal. A key player was the son of a rich Utah banker, Mormon Freemason Marriner S. Eccles (far right). Following the socialist rhetoric of the Order’s radio priest, Charles Coughlin, Eccles advocated deficit spending in the form of paternal relief measures, including a minimum wage law, unemployment insurance and old age pensions. Appointed Secretary of the Treasury in 1933, ten months later he became Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (1934-1948). He wrote the Banking Act of 1935 (signed into law above) thereby perfecting the Fed by centralizing all power in its Federal Reserve Board and establishing the independence of the Board from the Treasury. Eccles, giving the appearance of saving the Bank, in fact created the monster it is today: its New York Branch and Federal Reserve Board in Washington are now ruled by Georgetown Jesuits through key Bank officers who are notorious CFR members. Eccles went on to become the U.S. delegate to New Hampshire’s 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, which created the Black Pope’s World Bank and International Monetary Fund thus paving the way for world commerce under “that man of sin—the beast.” Like Romanism, the Mormon Empire under the guise of religion is a tentacle of the Order’s “Invisible Empire,” Jesuit Pierre De Smet directing Mason Brigham Young to the Great Salt Lake when they met at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1846.

The Eccles Building, Fed Headquarters, Washington, D.C., 1989 #365 As Hawaii’s Laie Mormon Temple was patterned after the ancient Temple of Solomon, even so the Eccles Building resembles the historic Jerusalem Temple. Distinct from the location and function of the Department of the Treasury, this impressive “pagan cathedral” built for the Federal Reserve Board illustrates the power of the Black Pope decreeing the Empire’s economic policies. The Fed is controlled through the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) with offices in both New York City and Washington, D.C. The CFR is overseen and guided by the Jesuits of Georgetown University; the Order’s enforcers, keeping all politicians in line who may be a threat to its Fed, is the FBI/CIA—the co-assassins of JFK!

What is mammon?

Answer

The word mammon comes from the Greek word mammonas. Similar root words exist in Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic, Chaldean, and Syriac. They all translate to “money, wealth, and material possessions.”

In biblical culture the word mammon often carried a negative connotation. It was sometimes used to describe all lusts and excesses: gluttony, greed, and dishonest worldly gain. Ultimately, mammon described an idol of materialism, which many trusted as a foundation for their world and philosophy. While the King James Version retains the term Mammon in Matthew 6:24, other versions translate the Greek as “money,” “wealth,” or “riches.”

The city of Babylon (Revelation 18), with all its avarice and greed, is a description of a world given over to the spirit of Mammon. Some scholars cite Mammon as the name of a Syrian and Chaldean god, similar to the Greek god of wealth, Plutus.

Just as Wisdom is personified in Proverbs 1:21–33, Mammon is personified in Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13. Jesus’ words here show a powerful contrast between the worship of the material world and the worship of God. Later, writers such as Augustine, Danté (The Divine Comedy), Milton (Paradise Lost), and Spenser (The Faerie Queene) used personifications of Mammon to show the insidious nature of materialism and its seduction of humanity.

Worship of mammon can show up in many ways. It isn’t always through a continual lust for more money. When we envy others’ wealth, are anxious over potentially unmet needs, disobey God’s directives about the use of wealth, or fail to trust God’s love and faithfulness, our thinking is out of balance concerning material wealth.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches about our relationship to material goods. He says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth. . . . But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. . . . For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. . . . No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money [mammon]” (Matthew 6:19–24).

The apostle Paul writes of the godly perspective toward mammon: “Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (1 Timothy 6: 6–10).

Solomon writes of the futility of chasing after mammon: “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). Lust of any kind is insatiable, no matter how much time or effort is poured into the pursuit of the object of lust.

In Luke 16:14–15, Jesus rebukes those who refused to hear His admonition to choose God over mammon: “The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, ‘You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.’”

The parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13–21) is the story of a man who lives to increase his wealth yet in the end he loses his soul because he “is not rich toward God” (verse 21). Mark 4:19 warns of the deceitfulness of mammon and its ability to “choke the Word, making it unfruitful.”

Mammon cannot produce peace in us, and it certainly cannot produce righteousness. A love of money shows we are out of balance in our relationship to God. Proverbs 8:18 speaks of true, lasting riches: “With me [Wisdom] are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.” Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:19–34 to not worry about our physical needs, about houses or clothes or food, but to “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (verse 33).

Nov. 25, 2013-- intro: The gunman who opened fire on Sandy Hook elementary school last December, killing 20 students and six staff members, had collected mass murder memorabilia, including newspaper clippings, in his bedroom before the shooting.

Stockpiled in the bedroom that he almost never left were news reports about school shootings, video games that allowed the user to role play a mass shooting, and grisly photos of a dead human, covered in blood and wrapped in plastic. There were also funny videos, pictures of hamsters, and videos of him playing Dance Dance Revolution.

The name Chaldaea is a latinization of the Greek Khaldaía (Χαλδαία), a hellenization of Akkadian māt Kaldu or Kašdu, suggesting an underlying /kaɬdu/.[4] The term Chaldea appears in Hebrew in the Bible as Kaśdim (כַּשְׂדִּים),[5] while Chaldeans are Hebrew Kaśdim (כַּשְׂדִּים) and Aramaic Kaśdā'in (כַּשְׂדָּאִין).[6][7][8]

Genesis 22:22 lists Kesed (כֶּשֶׂד, reconstructed /kaɬd/[9]), perhaps a singular form of Kasdim, as son of Abraham's brother Nahor (and brother of Kemuel the father of Aram), residing in Aram Naharaim. Jubilees 11:7 claims that "Ur son of Kesed built the city of Ur-Kasdim, and he named it after himself and his father".

Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (37–c. 100) links Arpachshad and Chaldaea in his Antiquities of the Jews: "Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are now called Chaldeans."[10] Umberto Cassuto suggests that the name "Arpachshad" (ארפכשד) may be compounded from Arapcha-Kesed.[11]

The first member of the family who was known to use the name "Rothschild" was Isaak Elchanan Rothschild, born in 1577. The name is derived from the German zum rothen Schild (with the old spelling "th"), meaning "at the red shield", in reference to the house where the family lived for many generations (in those days, houses were designated not by numbers, but by signs displaying different symbols or colours). A red shield can still be seen at the centre of the Rothschild coat of arms. The family's ascent to international prominence began in 1744, with the birth of Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was the son of Amschel Moses Rothschild (born circa 1710),[13] a money changer who had traded with the Prince of Hesse. Born in the "Judengasse", the ghetto of Frankfurt, Mayer developed a finance house and spread his empire by installing each of his five sons in the five main European financial centres to conduct business. The Rothschild coat of arms contains a clenched fist with five arrows symbolising the five dynasties established by the five sons of Mayer Rothschild, in a reference to Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth." The family motto appears below the shield: Concordia, Integritas, Industria (Unity, Integrity, Industry).[14]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family

When his grandson, Naftali Hirz left the "House at the Red Shield" in 1664 and moved to the Hinterpfann (a tenement in the back of a house at the northern end of the Judengasse), he took the name Rothschild with him."

The Union Générale.

Meanwhile the Nationalist and Reactionary parties in France desired to counterbalance the "Semitic" influence of the Rothschilds by establishing a banking concern which should be essentially Catholic. Accordingly in 1876 the Union Générale was founded with a capital of 4,000,000 francs, increased to 25,000, 000 fraces in 1878 under the direction of a certain Bontoux. After various vicissitudes, graphically described by Zola in his novel "L'Argent," the Union failed, and brought many of the Catholic nobility of France to ruin, leaving the Rothschilds still more absolutely the undisputed leaders of French finance, but leaving also a legacy of hatred which had much influence on the growth of the anti-Semitic movement in France. Something analogous occurred in England when the century-long competition of the Barings and the Rothschilds culminated in the failure of the former in 1893; but in this case the Rothschilds came to the rescue of their rivals and prevented a universal financial catastrophe. It is a somewhat curious sequel to the attempt to set up a Catholic competitor to the Roths-childs that at the present time the latter are the guardians of the papal treasure.

Of recent years the Rothschilds have consistently refused to have anything to do with loans to Russia, owing to the anti-Jewish legislation of that empire, though on one occasion the members of the Paris house joined in a loan to demonstrate their patriotism as Frenchmen."

Alsa Thompson, the “Baby Borgia” – Los Angeles: 1925

It was never determined whether Alsa had or had not actually murdered any human being. It was, however, established, that she did deliberately kill pets and that she made several attempts to kill members of her step-family (including one of their visitors), and had attacked her little sister and another child wielding a razor blade.

For an example of a girl of around the same age who had a “mania” for murder, see the following case:

Müllerian duct development, fertility problems, ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, premature births and cancers, especially clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the vagina and cervix in girls and young women [21]. In ‘DES sons’, epididymal cysts, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, hypoplastic testes and micropenises have been observed [22,23,24,25,26]. In addition, although less studied, in utero exposure to synthetic sex hormones, particularly DES, can cause psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior [27]. Interestingly, some studies in patients exposed in utero to DES with psychotic disorders identified methylome changes that affect the expression of ZFP57 and ADAMTS9, two genes implicated in neurodevelopment regulation [28], with potential multigenerational and transgenerational effects [29,30].

We then contacted all DES sons with female gender variance and we carried out an individual interview with them.

All DES sons who identified as transgender women underwent karyotyping at their local hospital at the moment of transition.

Thomas Trace Beatie (born 1974[1]) is an American public speaker, author, and advocate of transgender rights and sexuality issues, with a focus on transgender fertility and reproductive rights.[2]

Beatie came out as a trans man in early 1997. Beatie had gender-affirming surgery in March 2002 and became known as "the pregnant man" after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007.[3] Beatie chose to be pregnant, with donated sperm,[4][5] because his wife Nancy was sterile.

The couple filed for divorce in 2012. The Beatie case is the first of its kind on record, where a documented legal male gave birth within a marriage to a woman, and for the first time, a court challenged a marriage where the husband gave birth.

Francis Borgia SJ (Valencian: Francesc de Borja; Spanish: Francisco de Borja; 28 October 1510 – 30 September 1572) was a Spanish Jesuit priest. The great-grandson of both Pope Alexander VI and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, he was Duke of Gandía and a grandee of Spain. After the death of his wife, Borgia renounced his titles and became a priest in the Society of Jesus, later serving as its third superior general. He was canonized on 20 June 1670 by Pope Clement X.

One World Trade Center, also known as One WTC and erroneously as the Freedom Tower,[note 1] is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest in the world. The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. It is bounded by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east.

The construction of below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the new building began on April 27, 2006. One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City on April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The building opened on November 3, 2014;[12] the One World Observatory opened on May 29, 2015.[13]

On March 26, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of "Freedom Tower".[15][16][17] The building has 94 stories, with the top floor numbered 104.

The new World Trade Center complex will eventually include five high-rise office buildings built along Greenwich Street, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located just south of One World Trade Center where the original Twin Towers stood, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub to its east. The construction of the new building is part of an effort to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original World Trade Center complex.

Barbie’s cocaine mercenaries included some interesting individuals. German-born Joachim Fiebelkorn (a neo-Nazi and informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency) was joined with Italian fascists, such as Pierluigi Pagliai (a member of the infamous P‑2 lodge discussed in AFAs 18,19) and the notorious fascist Stefano Delle Chiaie, a principal architect of the “strategy of tension.”

The strategy of tension (a major focal point of AFA-19) was an out-cropping of what Danish journalist Henrik Kruger termed “the International Fascista.” (Kruger is the author of The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence and International Fascism, published in softcover by the South End Press of Boston, copyright 1980. Mr. Emory views the work as the best individual volume ever written on the subject of the intelligence community and the narcotics trade.) A consortium of fascists in Europe and Latin America, International Fascista included numerous Latin death squad elements, elements of U.S. intelligence and the Paladin mercenary group (funded by Libyan dictator Khadafy, as well as the weapons empire of SS officer and sometime CIA operative Otto Skorzeny.) A principal figure in the postwar ODESSA organization, Skorzeny is discussed at considerable length in AFA-22.

One of the major cogs of the International Fascista was CORU, arguably the most militant and deadly of the anti-Castro Cuban organizations. CORU was involved in a string of bombings, assassinations and terrorist attacks in the mid 1970’s, including the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington D.C. CORU’s reign of terror took place when George Bush was director of the CIA, and an element of the agency appears to have been involved with it.

Program Highlights Include: “Operation Condor” (an international assassination consortium of Latin American dictatorships); a number of assassinations and attempted assassinations conducted under “Condor;” Argentine fascist and P‑2 lodge member Jose Lopez Rega; Italian fascist and Skorzeny associate Prince Justo Valerio Borghese; former Goebbels Propaganda Ministry official Gerhard Hartmut Von Schubert (the operating manager of the Paladin group); Paladin’s overlap with Spanish intelligence and the CIA; Operation Condor’s attempts at disguising its acts as left-wing terror; the position of the World Anti-Communist League in the milieu set forth in this broadcast

All historians acknowledge the ascendancy of the popes began in 308 A.D., when King Clovis of the Salian or Merovingian Franks (later France), won the decisive battle in the Catholic and Arian religious war, thereby settling the dispute in favor of the Catholics. But the popes' temporal reign officially began in the year 538 A.D. when Roman Emperor Justinian subdued the last of the three kingdoms, or "horns," that opposed the rise of the Papacy."

Fulcanelli’s main strategy, the key to unraveling the mystery, lies in an understanding of what he calls the “phonetic law” of the “spoken cabala,” or the “language of the birds.” This punning, multilingual wordplay can be used to reveal unusual and, according to Fulcanelli, meaningful associations between ideas. “What unsuspected marvels we should find, if we knew how to dissect words, to strip them of their bark and liberate the spirit, the divine light which is within,” Fulcanelli writes. He claims that in our day this is the natural language of the outsiders, the outlaws and heretics at the fringes of society. (See appendix A, “Fulcanelli on the Green Language,” for the complete text of this chapter.) 6 This spoken cabala was also the “green language” of the Freemasons (“All the Initiates expressed themselves in cant,” Fulcanelli reminds us) who built the art gothique of the cathedrals. “Gothic art is in fact the art got or art cot —χοτ—the art of light or of the spirit,” Fulcanelli informs us. Ultimately the “art got,” or the “art of light,” is derived from the language of the birds, which seems to be a sort of Ur-language taught by both Jesus and the ancients."

In 306, the Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus died while campaigning against the Picts beyond Hadrian's Wall. He was succeeded by his son, Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, known more commonly as Constantine I or Constantine the Great. He was declared emperor in Eboracum, capital of the province of Britannia Secunda, known today as York. Most of the Empire's provinces accepted his rule.

Constantinople was founded in 324 during the reign of Constantine the Great on the site of the existing settlement of Byzantium and in 330 became the capital of the Roman Empire. Following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century, Constantinople remained the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire; 330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). In the aftermath of the Turkish War of Independence, the Turkish capital moved to Ankara. The city was officially renamed Istanbul on 28 March 1930. As of December 2025, it is the most populous city in Europe, with a population of more than 16 million residents,[6] straddling the Bosporus Strait and lying in both Europe and Asia, and is the financial center of Turkey.

The Masonic King of England

Edward VIII was crowned both king and Grand Master of English Freemasonry on January20, 1936. Edward, however, married a divorced commoner from the United States and was forced to abdicate eleven months later on December 10th. His younger brother ascended the throne the next day and downgraded Edward's title to the Duke of Windsor. In July1940 the Duke assumed the governorship of the Bahamas.127 Edward VIII not only supported Hitler, he did so loudly. From the time of Hitler's rise to power, the Windsors were fascinated by the Fuehrer and his New Order in Europe. Speaking in Masonic 480 terms, the King expressed the views of the Brotherhood concerning Hitler: "What-ever happens, he said, "whatever the outcome, a New Order is going to come into the world.... It will be buttressed with police power.. ..When peace comes this time, there is going to be a New Order of Social Justice. It cannot be another Versailles." 128 During his short reign, King Edward VIII made every effort to promote Nazism. As a result some of the most prominent aristocrats in England joined the Nazi Party.129

Aryan (/ˈɛəriən/), or Arya (borrowed from Sanskrit ārya),[1] is a term originating from the ethno-cultural self-designation of the Indo-Iranians.[2][3] It stood in contrast to nearby outsiders, whom they designated as non-Aryan (*an-āryā).[4] In ancient India, the term was used by the Indo-Aryan peoples of the Vedic period, both as an endonym and in reference to a region called Aryavarta (lit. 'Land of the Aryans'),[a] where their culture emerged.[5] Similarly, according to the Avesta, the Iranian peoples used the term to designate themselves as an ethnic group and to refer to a region called Airyanem Vaejah (lit. 'Expanse of the Arya'),[b] which was their mythical homeland.[6][7] The word stem also forms the etymological source of place names like Alania (*Aryāna) and Iran (*Aryānām).[8]

Archons (Greek: ἄρχων, romanized: árchōn, plural: Greek: ἄρχοντες, romanized: árchontes), in Gnosticism and religions closely related to it, are the builders of the physical universe. Among the Archontics, Ophites, Sethians and in the writings of Nag Hammadi library, the archons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm. The political connotation of their name reflects rejection of the governmental system, as flawed without chance of true salvation.[1] In Manichaeism, the archons are the rulers of a realm within the "Kingdom of Darkness", who together make up the Prince of Darkness. In the Hypostasis of the Archons, the physical appearance of Archons is described as androgynous, with their faces being those of beasts.[2][3][4]

A papal renunciation (Latin: renuntiatio), also called a papal abdication, occurs when the current pope of the Catholic Church voluntarily resigns his position. As a pope conventionally holds the office for life, a papal renunciation is an uncommon event. Before the 21st century, only five popes unambiguously resigned with historical certainty, all between the 10th and 15th centuries. There are disputed claims of four popes having resigned, dating from the 3rd to the 11th centuries; a fifth disputed case may have involved an antipope.

The church building is a Gothic revival red-brick construction, situated in the Via del Babuino, about 100 meters from the Spanish Steps. The architect was George Edmund Street (1824–1881). It has a regular weekly schedule of masses and prayer services and is also used for concerts. All Saints follows the high church tradition of Anglicanism, with a sung Eucharist being held weekly.

The Church of Scotland (CoS; Scots: The Kirk o Scotland; Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais na h-Alba) is a Presbyterian denomination of Christianity that holds the status of the national church in Scotland. It is one of the country's largest, having 245,000 members in 2024 and 259,200 members in 2023. While membership in the church has declined significantly in recent decades (in 1982 it had nearly 920,000 members),[6] the government Scottish Household Survey found that 20% of the Scottish population, or over one million people, identified the Church of Scotland as their religious identity in 2019.[7][8]

In the 2022 census, 20.4% of the Scottish population, or 1,108,796 adherents, identified the Church of Scotland as their religious identity.[9][10] The Church of Scotland's governing system is presbyterian in its approach, therefore, no one individual or group within the church has more or less influence over church matters. There is no one person who acts as the head of faith, as the church believes that role is the "Lord God's". As a proper noun, the Kirk is an informal name for the Church of Scotland used in the media and by the church itself.[11]

And the same should apply to communicating the graces of the Society. 5For the more the subjects are dependent upon their superiors, the better will the love, obedience, and union among them be preserved."

Revelation 13:11-18

1599 Geneva Bible

11 [a]And I beheld, another beast coming out of the earth, [b]which had two horns like the Lamb, but he spake like the dragon.

12 [c]And he did all that the first beast could do before him, and he caused the earth and them which dwell therein, [d]to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.

13 [e]And he did great wonders, so that he made fire to come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men.

14 And deceived them that dwell on the earth by the signs which were permitted to him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the [f]image of the [g]beast, which had the wound of a sword, and did live.

15 [h]And it was permitted to him to give a [i]spirit unto the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak, and should cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 [j]And he made all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive [k]a [l]mark in their right hand or in their foreheads.

17 And that no man might [m]buy or sell, save he that had the [n]mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 [o]Here is wisdom. Let him that hath wit, count the number of the beast: for it is the [p]number of a man, and his number is six hundred threescore and six.

Footnotes

Revelation 13:11 The second member of the vision, concerning the ecclesiastical dominion, which in Rome succeeded that which was politic, and is in the power of the corporation of false Prophets, and of the forgers of false doctrine. Wherefore the same body or corporation is called of S. John by the name of false prophet, Rev. 6:13, 19 and 20. The form of this beast is first described in this verse, then his acts, in the verses following, and the whole speech is concluded in the last verse. This beast is by his breed a Son of the earth (as they say) obscurely born, and by little and little creeping up out of his abject estate.

Revelation 13:11 That is, in show he resembled the Lamb (for what is more mild or more humble than to be the servant of the servants of God) but in deed he played the part of the Dragon, and of the Wolf, Matt. 7:15. For even Satan changeth himself into an Angel of light, 2 Cor. 11:14, and what should his honest disciples and servants do?

Revelation 13:12 The history of the acts of this beast containeth in sum three things, hypocrisy, the witness of miracles and tyranny: of which the first is noted in this verse, the second in the 3 verses following: the third in the sixteenth and seventeenth verses. His hypocrisy is most full of leasing, whereby he abuseth both the former beast and the whole world: in that albeit he hath by his cunning, as it were by lime made of the former beast a most miserable … or anatomy, usurped all his authority unto himself and most impudently exerciseth the same in the sight and view of him: yet he carrieth himself so, as if he honored him with most high honor, and did in very truth cause him to be honored of all men.

Revelation 13:12

For unto this beast of Rome, which of civil Empire is made an Ecclesiastical hierarchy, are given divine honors, and divine authority so far as he is believed to be above the Scriptures, which the gloss upon the Decretals declareth by this devilish verse,

Articulos solvit, synodumque facit generalem,

That is,

He changeth the Articles of faith, and giveth authority to general Counsels.

Which is spoken of the Papal power. So the beast is by birth, foundation, feat, and finally substance, one: only the Pope hath altered the form and manner thereof being himself the head both of that tyrannical Empire, and also of the false Prophets, for the Empire hath he taken unto himself, and thereunto hath added this cunning device. Now these words, whose deadly wound was cured are put here for distinction sake, as also sometimes afterwards: that even at that time the godly readers of this prophecy might by this sign be brought to see the things as present: as if it were said, that they might adore this very Empire that now is, whose head we have seen in our own memory to have been cut off, and to be cured again.

Revelation 13:13 The second point of the things done by the beast, is the credit of great wonders or miracles, appertaining to the strength of this impiety: of which signs some were given from above, as it is said, that fire was sent down from heaven by false sorcery, in this verse. Others were showed here below in the sight of the beast to establish idolatry, and deceive souls, which part S. John setteth forth beginning (as they say) at that which is last, in this manner: First the effect is declared in these words, He deceiveth the inhabitants of the earth, Secondly the common manner of working in two sorts, one of miracles. For the signs that were given him to do in the presence of the beasts: the other of the words added to the signs, and teaching the idolatry confirmed by those signs, Saying unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they should make an image unto the beasts which, etc. Thirdly, a special manner is declared: That is given unto him to put life into the image of the beast: and that such a kind of quickening, that the same both speaketh by answer unto those that ask counsel of it, and also pronounceth death against all those that do not obey nor worship it: all which things oftentimes by false miracles through the procurement and inspiration of the Devil, have been effected and wrought in images. The histories of the Papists are full of examples of such miracles, the most of them feigned, many also done by the devil in images: as of old in the serpent, Gen. 3:1. By which examples is confirmed, not the authority of the beast, but the truth of God, and of these prophecies.

Revelation 13:14 That is, images by enallage or change of the number: for the worship of them ever since the second Council of Nice, hath been ordained in the Church by public credit, and authority contrary unto the Law of God.

Revelation 13:14 In the Greek the word is in the Dative case, as much to say, as unto the worship, honor and obeying of the beast: for by this maintenance of images this Pseudoprophetical beast doth mightily profit the beast of Rome, of whom long ago he received them. Wherefore the same is hereafter very fitly called the image of the beast, for that images have their beginning from the beast, and have their form or manner from the will of the beast, and have their end and use fixed in the profit and commodity of the beast.

Revelation 13:15 And of this miracle of the images of the beast (that is, which the beast hath ordained to establish idolatry) which miraculously speak and give judgment, or rather marvelously, by the fraud of the false prophets, the Papists books are full fraughted.

Revelation 13:15 To give life as Jannes and Jambres imitated the wonders that Moses wrought.

Revelation 13:16 The third place, is a most wicked and most insolent tyrrany as was said before, usurped over the persons of men in this verse: and over their goods and actions, in the next verse. For he is said, both to bring upon all persons a tyrannous servitude, that as bondslaves they might serve the beast: and also to exercise over all their goods and actions, a peddler-like abuse of indulgences and dispensations (as they term them) amongst their friends, and against others to use most violent interdictions, and to shoot out cursings, even in natural and civil, private and public contracts, wherein all good faith ought to have place.

Revelation 13:16 That is, their Chrism, by which in the Sacrament (as they call it) of Confirmation, they make servile unto themselves, the persons and doings of men, signing them in their forehead and hands: and as for the sign left by Christ (of which Rev. 7:3) and the holy Sacrament of Baptism they make as void. For whom Christ hath joined unto himself by Baptism, this beast maketh challenge unto them by her greasy Chrism, which he doubteth not to prefer over Baptism, both in authority and efficacy.

Revelation 13:16 The mark of the name of the beast.

Revelation 13:17 That is, have any traffic or intercourse with men, but they only those which have this anointing and consecration of Clearkely tonsure, as they call it. Read Gratian de Consecratione, distinct. s. c. omnes, cap. Spiritus, etc. of these matters.

Revelation 13:17 Here the false Prophets do require three things, which are set down in the order of their greatness, a character, a name and the number of the name. The meaning is, that man that hath not first their anointing and clerical tonsure or shaving: secondly holy orders, by reserving whereof is communicated the same of the beast: or finally hath not attained that high degree of Pontifical knowledge, and of the Law (as they call it) Canonical, and hath not as it were made up in account and cast the number of the mysteries thereof: for in these things consisteth the number of that name of the beast. And this is excellently set forth in the next verse.

Revelation 13:18 That is in this number of the beast consisteth that Popish wisdom, which unto them seemeth the greatest of all others. In these words S. John expoundeth that saying which went before of the number of the beast, what it hath above his mark or acconisance and his name. These things, saith S. John, the mark and the name of the beast, do easily happen unto any man: but to have the number of the beast, is wisdom: that is, only the wise and such as have understanding, can come by that number for they must be most illuminated doctors that attain thereunto, as the words following do declare.

Revelation 13:18 How great and of what denomination this number of the beast is, by which the beast accounted his wisdom, S. John declareth in these words. Dost thou demand how great it is? it is so great, that it occupieth the whole man: he is always learning, and never cometh to the knowledge thereof: he must be a man indeed that doth attain unto it. Askest thou of what denomination it is? verily it standeth of six throughout and perfectly ariseth of all the parts thereof in their several denominations (as they term them) it standeth of six by units, tens, hundreds, etc. so as there is no one part in the learning and order Pontifical, which is not either referred unto the head, and as it were the top thereof, or contained in the same: so fitly do all things in this hierarchy agree one with another, and with their head. Therefore that cruel beast Boniface the eighth doth commend by the number of six those Decretals which he perfected, in the proem of the sixth book. Which book (saith he) being to be added unto five other books of the same volume of Decretals, we thought good to name Sextum the sixth: that the same volume by addition thereof containing a senary, or the number of six books (which is a number perfect) may yield a perfect form of managing all things, and perfect discipline of behavior. Here therefore is the number of the beast, who poureth from himself all his parts and bringeth them all back again unto himself by his discipline in most wise and cunning manner. If any man desire more of this, let him read the gloss upon that place. I am not ignorant that other interpretations are brought upon this place: but I thought it my duty, with the good favor of all and without the offense of any, to propound mine opinion in this point. And for this cause especially, for that it seemed unto me neither profitable, nor like to be true, that the number of the beast, or of the name of the beast should be taken as the common sort of interpreters do take it. For this number of the beast teacheth, giveth out, imprinteth, as a public mark of such as be his, and esteemeth that mark above all others as the mark of those whom he loveth best. Now those other expositions seem rather to be far removed from this property and condition of that number: whether you respect the name Latinus or Titan, or another. For these the beast doth not teach, nor give forth nor imprint, but most diligently forbiddeth to be taught, and audaciously denieth: he approveth not these, but reproveth them: and hateth them that think so of this number, with an hatred, greater than that of Vatinius.

Was Hagar Abraham’s wife or his concubine?

Answer

Hagar is properly considered a concubine of Abraham’s, although the Bible does call her a “wife” of Abraham in Genesis 16:3: “So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife” (ESV). A wife and a concubine held distinct roles in a family, but a concubine was still considered a wife of sorts.

Hagar had been Sarah’s servant, but she was raised in status to be a second wife to Abraham. This action was required for Abraham to have a child with Hagar, but it did not place Hagar on a par with Sarah (see Genesis 25:5–6); Hagar remained a secondary wife—a “slave wife,” as it were (cf. Galatians 4:21–31).

The Hebrew words for “wife” and “concubine” are different, but the word for “wife” has a broad range of meanings and can be translated as “woman,” “wife,” or “female.” The word was not always used with precision. That’s why, in Genesis 16:3, both Sarah and Hagar are called a “wife” of Abraham, using different forms of the same Hebrew word. The broad definition of the word in question means we have to use context clues to more precisely define it. In Hagar’s case, her status as Sarah’s slave means that she was a “wife” of a lesser class. In biblical times there were various rankings of wives, but the first wife always had seniority.

It is worth noting that, after Sarah died, Abraham married again: “Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah” (Genesis 25:1). Elsewhere, Keturah is called Abraham’s “concubine” (1 Chronicles 1:32); so, Keturah was both. She was a wife, but she was of an inferior status to Sarah. The same could be said of Hagar.

Abraham had a principal wife, Sarah, and two secondary wives, Hagar and Keturah. Sarah alone possessed legal rights and social standing as Abraham’s wife, and only her child, Isaac, was the rightful heir to the family inheritance (see Genesis 25:5). Sarah, who had been unable to bear children, gave her Egyptian servant, Hagar, to Abraham as a concubine/wife. Taking a concubine was a common solution to childlessness in ancient times. But a concubine only held “secondary wife status.”

God had plans for Hagar and her child by Abraham. God dealt kindly with both Hagar and Ishmael, preserving their lives and making Ishmael the father of a great nation (Genesis 21:8–21).

Vatican Dispatch

Pope Leo and Patriarch Bartholomew urge Christian unity at Nicaea commemoration

by Gerard O’Connell

November 28, 2025

Pope Leo stands in the foreground with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew next to him, a leafy tree fills the background

Pope Leo XIV and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, participate in an ecumenical prayer service near the archaeological excavations of the ancient Basilica of St. Neophytos, during his first apostolic journey, in Iznik, Turkey, Nov. 28, 2025. (OSV News/Yara Nardi, Reuters)

“We are all invited to overcome the scandal of the divisions that unfortunately still exist [among Christians] and to nurture the desire for unity for which the Lord Jesus prayed and gave his life,” Pope Leo XIV told the leaders of the Christian churches in his speech at an ecumenical prayer service in Turkey on Nov. 28, commemorating the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea.

Leo, who has made peace and unity priorities of his pontificate, emphasized that “the more we are reconciled, the more we Christians can bear credible witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is a proclamation of hope for all” and, in the words of Pope Francis, “a message of peace and universal fraternity that transcends the boundaries of our communities and nations.”

Speaking in English, he told the Christian leaders present and his global ecumenical audience, “Today, the whole of humanity afflicted by violence and conflict is crying out for reconciliation. The desire for full communion among all believers in Jesus Christ is always accompanied by the search for fraternity among all human beings.”

“In the Nicene Creed,” he said, “we profess our faith ‘in one God, the Father.’ Yet, it would not be possible to invoke God as Father if we refused to recognize as brothers and sisters all other men and women, who are created in the image of God.”

“There is a universal fraternity of men and women regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion or personal perspectives,” Pope Leo said. “Religions, by their very nature, are repositories of this truth and should encourage individuals, groups and peoples to recognize this and put it into practice,” he said.

He emphasized, furthermore, “we must strongly reject the use of religion for justifying war, violence, or any form of fundamentalism or fanaticism. Instead, the paths to follow are those of fraternal encounter, dialogue and cooperation.”

Pope Leo delivered his speech standing next to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew—the first among equals among the leaders of the Orthodox churches— and the 26 leaders of other Christian churches, at the site of ruins of the ancient Basilica of Saint Neophyte. The basilica, named for an early Christian martyr, was built after the Council of Nicaea, in the 4th century. It was later destroyed by an earthquake then submerged by the waters of a lake; its ruins were only discovered in 2014.

The sun shone brightly as Leo XIV arrived from Istanbul on a white helicopter that flew over the lake before landing. He was welcomed on arrival by Patriarch Bartholomew who organized this event.

When Pope Francis had originally accepted the invitation, it had been hoped that the leaders of most of the Christian churches would attend. Serious tensions, however, developed between the Patriarchates of Moscow and Constantinople that resulted in a reduced presence of Christian leaders today.

The date for the event was scheduled around the anniversary of the opening of the council, May 20. However, Francis died on April 21, and Leo, his successor, agreed to come on this day instead, in order to be present for the feast of St. Andrew, the brother of St. Peter, which the Orthodox Patriarchate celebrates on Nov. 30.

Today’s gathering took place under quite extraordinary security measures at the lakeside archeological excavations of the ancient basilica. Apart from the 28 church leaders and the clerics or laity accompanying them, the only other people present were hundreds of Turkish security personnel and the Vatican press corps traveling with the pope, as well as the Turkish media. No one else was allowed near the event. The Muslim call to prayer sounded from the nearby mosque in the small town of Iznik (originally called Nicaea), just as the procession of church leaders moved towards the lakeside platform.

The commemorative ceremony consisted of singing, prayers, speeches by the ecumenical patriarch and the pope, the recital of the Nicene Creed and the Our Father.

Patriarch Bartholomew, 85, spoke first, in English. He began by thanking Pope Leo and the other Christians leaders for accepting his invitation to honor together “the memory and legacy of the First Ecumenical Council held here, at Nicaea.” He told them, “We are gathered here not simply to remember the past. We are here to bear living witness to the same faith expressed by the Fathers of Nicaea. We return to this wellspring of the Christian faith in order to move forward.”

In Nicaea, he said, “history bore witness to eternity, to the fact that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is true God of true God, consubstantial with the Father.” Moreover, he said, “the Nicene Creed acts like a seed for the whole of our Christian existence. It is a symbol not of a bare minimum; it is a symbol of the whole.” With this faith “burning in our hearts,” Patriarch Bartholomew said, “let us run the course of Christian unity and let us love one another, that with one mind we may confess: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Trinity consubstantial and undivided.”

In his own speech, Pope Leo began by saying, “the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea is a precious opportunity to ask ourselves who Jesus Christ is in the lives of men and women today, and who he is for each one of us personally.”

He said, “this question is important at a period of history marked by many tragic signs in which people are subjected to countless threats to their very dignity.” He called it “especially important for Christians, who risk reducing Jesus Christ to a kind of charismatic leader or superman, a misrepresentation that ultimately leads to sadness and confusion,” repeating what he told the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel in his first Mass as pope on May 9.

He recalled one of the questions that the Council of Nicaea was called to address—that of Christ’s divine and human natures—and said, “by denying the divinity of Christ, Arius reduced him to a mere intermediary between God and humanity, ignoring the reality of the Incarnation such that the divine and the human remained irremediably separated. But if God did not become man, how can mortal creatures participate in his immortal life?”

He emphasized that “what was at stake at Nicaea, and is at stake today, is our faith in the God who, in Jesus Christ, became like us to make us ‘partakers of the divine nature’.”

He underlined that “this Christological confession of faith” that was declared at Nicaea in 325 “is of fundamental importance in the journey that Christians are making towards full communion. For it is shared by all Christian Churches and Communities throughout the world, including those which, for various reasons, do not use the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed in their liturgies.”

Indeed, he said, “faith ‘in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages… consubstantial with the Father’ is a profound bond already uniting all Christians.” He added, “In this sense, in the ecumenical context we can also say—to quote Saint Augustine—that, ‘although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one’.” These last words, “in the one Christ we are one,” are the official motto of Pope Leo.

“Consequently,” Pope Leo said, “with an awareness that we are already linked by such a profound bond, we can continue our journey of ever deeper adherence to the Word of God revealed in Jesus Christ, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in mutual love and dialogue.”

He concluded by thanking the ecumenical patriarch for his “great wisdom and foresight” in deciding to commemorate together the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea in the very place where it was held. He also thanked the other Christians leaders present for accepting the patriarch’s invitation and prayed that God may hear their prayers “and grant that this important anniversary may bear the abundant fruits of reconciliation, unity and peace.”

The commemoration of Nicaea concluded the second day of Pope Leo’s visit to Turkey, which began this Friday when he visited the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit to meet and talk with the bishops, clergy, religious and pastoral workers in this country.

There, he gave an inspiring homily, delivered with emotion, as he spoke of his “great joy” of visiting this “holy land.” He recalled the rich history of Christianity in this land “where the story of the people of Israel meets the birth of Christianity, where the Old and New Testaments embrace and where the pages of numerous Councils were written,” of which the council commemorated today was the first of eight. The council was, he said quoting Pope Francis, “a “milestone in the history of the Church but also of humanity as a whole.”

Theodosia Bartow Burr (November 1746 – May 18, 1794), previously known as Theodosia Bartow Prevost, was an American Patriot. Raised by a widowed mother, she married British Army officer Jacques Marcus Prevost at age 17. After the American Revolution began, her own Patriot leanings led her to offer the use of her house, the Hermitage, as a meeting- and resting-place for revolutionaries, including Alexander Hamilton, Marquis de Lafayette, and Aaron Burr; it was briefly used as the headquarters of George Washington, who counted her amongst his friends. Burr's visit to the Hermitage began a secret romance that, following the death of Prevost's first husband, led to marriage.

The couple moved to New York City due to Burr's legal practice, and she acted as a crucial ally as he began his political career. She was known for her wit, unusually deep education and intellectual acuity; her death in 1794 left Burr without "his best ally in the political wars to come".[1]

Early life

Theodosia's mother, Ann de Visme

Theodosia was born in November 1746 to Ann Sands Stillwell (1714–1782) and Theodosius Bartow (1712–1746), an attorney, in Shrewsbury Township, New Jersey. Her mother's family was noted for their beauty and had lived in America since 1638; her father's family had arrived in 1702 when John Bartow was sent to establish a Church of England ministry in Westchester County, New York. Theodosius died on October 5, 1746, several weeks before Theodosia was born. Five years later, Theodosia's mother married Philip de Visme, a captain in the British Army, with whom she had five more children.[2]

De Visme provided for Theodosia's tutoring, ensuring that she received a "cosmopolitan education" and became fluent in French. She would later translate French political treatises to English, and exchanged informed political observations and arguments as equals with Burr in their correspondence.[3]

At the age of seventeen, Theodosia married Jacques Marcus Prevost (1736–1781), a Swiss native and the brother of Augustine Prévost (1723–1786), who was serving as commander of the British Army forces in New Jersey. They married in Trinity Church in 1763. They had five children: Sally (1769–1815), Anna Louisa (1770–1815), Mary Louisa (born 1771), Augustine (1765–1842), and John (1766–1825).[2] When Prevost was dispatched to the West Indies in the early 1770s, Theodosia and the children remained in New Jersey.[4]

Revolutionary War

Despite her family's background (both her stepfather and husband were officers of the Royal American Regiment) Theodosia aligned herself with the Patriots,[3] counting William Livingston and Robert Troup as friends and allies.[5] During the Revolution Theodosia's home, the Hermitage – named after the cottage of Jean-Jacques Rousseau – became a gathering-place for American soldiers. When she heard that George Washington was in the area following the Battle of Monmouth she extended an invitation for him to stay there. He accepted this invitation in July 1778, and briefly utilized the Hermitage as his headquarters.[6] The home and its culture were "decidedly French" due to Theodosia's background, and she was known for the intelligent conversation her French salons represented.[3] Other visitors included generals Charles Lee and Jeremiah Wadsworth.[7]

During the war, with her estate being owned by her husband, it was at various times under risk of confiscation as Loyalist property; her powerful friends, allies and patrons, including Livingston and William Paterson, ensured the case was halted.[8]

Theodosia first met Aaron Burr in July 1778 when he accompanied George Washington to her home after the Battle of Monmouth. The two became friends and Burr began regularly visiting Theodosia's home in New Jersey. By November 1778 he was writing to his sister to speak of Theodosia's "honest and affectionate heart" and their regular conversations; his constant visits to the Hermitage provoked gossip, with Paterson baldly referring to Theodosia as "the object of [Burr's] Affections".[9] The two fell in love, and by 1780 were openly lovers. In December 1781, Theodosia discovered her husband had died of yellow fever.[10]

Theodosia and Burr's writings to each other covered politics, philosophy and feminism, with the two discussing both Rousseau and British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. They modelled their relationship on a "mature affection",[11] rather than the standard practice of marriages and relationships being based on social standing and convenience rather than love; this appealed to Theodosia's sense of independence and intellectual freedom.[11] After Burr became licensed as an attorney, Theodosia and he married on July 2, 1782, at the Hermitage, with Livingston personally issuing the license. Their first child, and the only one to survive to adulthood, was born on June 21, 1783, and also named Theodosia.[12]

Later life and death

The Burrs moved to New York City in 1783, moving to Broadway in 1790 as Aaron's legal career took off. This increase in work led to him travelling more, but their "intellectual partnership" did not suffer: the two wrote letters back and forth notable for their candor, with Theodosia constantly disagreeing with her husband's views, "never shy to point out his flaws", and Aaron treating her as he would any other intelligent person, sending her political books and newspapers on a regular basis that he thought she would enjoy.[13] Theodosia's keen sense of observation and adeptness at "judging [Aaron's] peers on the national scene" made her a crucial ally in his political career, particularly after he joined the United States Senate in 1791.[1]

Both Theodosia and Aaron had a "passionate commitment to education", and Theodosia educated her daughter as any wealthy male child would have been: she could read and write at three, studied Latin, Greek and French, and had read Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by age 10.[14] Aaron handled more and more of this as Theodosia's health began to deteriorate. Her illness was not a shock – she had been ill as long as they had known each other – but by 1792 she was in regular pain, with doctors' prescriptions doing little to help. Aaron offered to resign from the Senate to spend more time with her, but she refused to allow it. She died on May 18, 1794, at the age of 47.[15] She was buried in the now defunct St. John's Burying Ground, which was associated with Trinity Church.[16] Aaron later wrote that she was "the best woman and finest lady" he had ever known.[17]

In popular culture

While not a character, Theodosia is mentioned by name in the musical Hamilton, and is mentioned in the songs "The Story of Tonight (Reprise)" and "Wait For It".[18] Another song, "Dear Theodosia (Reprise)" was written for the musical, in which Aaron Burr tells his daughter of Theodosia's death. This song was cut before the musical transferred to Broadway;[19] however, in 2018 a cover was released by Sara Bareilles as part of the Hamildrops series of singles.[20]

Main event, WWF title tournament final

The main event of WrestleMania IV was the tournament final for the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.[29] DiBiase was accompanied to the ring by Andre The Giant, whilst Savage had his regular valet Miss Elizabeth. Savage had wrestled three prior matches, whilst DiBiase had wrestled one fewer, having received a bye from the quarterfinals. DiBiase controlled much of the match, before a fightback from Savage, who attempted a top rope elbow drop on DiBiase, but DiBiase moved out of the way. DiBiase applied a Million Dollar Dream submission on Savage.[22] To aid Savage, Elizabeth went backstage to bring Hulk Hogan to ringside to neutralize André being at ringside.[20][30]

André the Giant interfered in the match on behalf of DiBiase, and whilst the referee was distracted, Hogan attacked DiBiase with a steel chair.[31] Freed from the submission, Savage climbed up the top rope for a second elbow drop attempt and hit the Diving Elbow. He followed it up with a pinfall victory.[32] He won the tournament and the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship, making Randy Savage the first person to ever win the world championship at WrestleMania (as the championship was not defended at the inaugural event and Hulk Hogan successfully retained at the following two installments). After the match, Hogan, Elizabeth and Savage celebrated Savage's WWF Championship win.[33][21][19]

After visiting Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Brigham set out to preach with his brother Joseph in the winter of 1832–1833. Joseph had been a Reformed Methodist preacher and the two made a similar "preaching circuit" in eastern Canada. They described the Book of Mormon as the "stick of Joseph", mentioned in Ezekiel 37.[25] Young continued to preach in eastern Canada in the spring and accompanied two Canadian converts to Kirtland in July 1833. Young and his two daughters moved to Kirtland along with the Kimball family later that summer. Here he became acquainted with Mary Ann Angell, a convert to the faith from Rhode Island, and the two were married in February 1834 and obtained a marriage certificate on March 31, 1834.[26][c]

In May 1834, Young became a member of Zion's Camp and traveled to Missouri. He returned to Kirtland with members of the camp in August.[29] After his return to Kirtland, Young did carpentry, painting, and glazing work to earn money. He also worked on the Kirtland Temple and went to a grammar school.[30] His third child and first son, Joseph A. Young, was born shortly after his return. Mary Ann, who was pregnant at the time, had provided for Young's two daughters and the children of her brother Solomon Angell and their friend Lorenzo Booth while Young was away with Zion's Camp.[31][32]

"Bloodlines" is a 1993 comic book story arc published by DC Comics. It was an intracompany crossover that ran through DC's superhero annuals and concluded with a two-issue Bloodbath miniseries written by Dan Raspler. The antagonists were a race of monstrous dragon-like aliens who killed humans for their spinal fluid. A small fraction of the parasite's victims survived and become super-heroes via their ordeal. This plot device introduced a wave of "New Blood" superheroes into the DC Universe. Seven DC Comics series were spun out of the event: Blood Pack, Razorsharp and the Psyba-Rats, Hitman, Anima, Loose Cannon, Argus and Gunfire.

Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was an American right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative student organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and served as its executive director until his assassination in 2025. He published a range of books and hosted the podcast The Charlie Kirk Show. A key ally of Donald Trump, he was one of the most prominent voices of the MAGA movement within the Republican Party.

Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs of Arlington Heights and Prospect Heights, Kirk became politically active in high school. He dropped out of college after one semester to focus on building Turning Point USA, which grew to encompass several affiliate groups, including Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith. He espoused a variety of conservative stances, including opposition to abortion, gun control, DEI programs, and LGBTQ rights. Over time, he became aligned with the Christian right and began advocating for Christian nationalism. His more controversial declarations included his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his promotion of COVID-19 misinformation, false claims of electoral fraud in 2020, and the white genocide conspiracy theory.

On September 10, 2025, Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at a TPUSA public debate event on the Utah Valley University campus. His death garnered international attention and led to the condemnation of political violence by prominent domestic and international figures, as well as partisan dispute and recriminations. Kirk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump in October.

The Carolingian dynasty ceased to rule France upon the death of Louis V (d. 987). After the death of Louis, the son of Hugh the Great, Hugh Capet was chosen as king of the Franks, nominally the last ruler of West Francia. Given the resurgence of the Holy Roman Empire title and dignities in the West Francian kingdom, Europe was later believed to have entered a new age, so became to be known in historiography as the first king of France, as western civilization was perceived to have entered the High Middle Ages period. Hugh was crowned at Noyon on July 3, 987 with the full support from Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor. With Hugh’s coronation, a new era began for France, and his descendants came to be named, after him, the Capetians. They ruled France as the Capetians, Valois, and Bourbons until the French Revolution. They returned after 1815 and ruled until Louis Philippe was deposed in 1848.

However they continue to rule Spain, with two republican interruptions, through the Bourbon Dynasty right down to Juan Carlos of Spain.

The earliest trade of blacksmithing dates back to ancient civilizations, with evidence of metalworking in Mesopotamia and Egypt as early as 6,000 years ago. Blacksmiths created essential tools and weapons, contributing significantly to the development of society. The term "blacksmith" itself refers to the type of metal being worked, with iron being called "black" due to its color after heating. Over time, blacksmiths evolved their techniques and tools, playing a crucial role in trade and economy, especially during the Iron Age when iron became more abundant and stronger than previous metals.

It was while investigating the Little Rock integration incident in 1957 that I first learned of Pike’s rapid advance in Freemasonry, and knowing that Weishaupt, using Thomas Jefferson and Moses Holbrook, had infiltrated Illuminists into the Masonic Lodges of America, I decided I would find out if the fact that Pike’s mansion in Little Rock had thirteen rooms had any significance. “Thirteen’ figures prominently in Satanic, Luciferian and Cabalistic rituals, codes, and writings, etc. My investigations produced documentary evidence to show that, because of Pike’s exceptional mental ability, he came under the notice of professors in Harvard who were members of the Illuminati, who developed in his mind the ‘idea that a One World Government, a One World Religion and a One World financial and economic system was the ONLY solution to the world’s many and varied problems. I next discovered that his departure from Harvard was not due to lack of finances, or because of a misunderstanding with the faculty over tuition fees, but because of his ‘radical’ ideas and teachings. When he returned home determined that he would ‘fight’ his way to the top despite all opposition, he was in a suitable frame of mind to be recruited as a ‘Minerval’ or ‘apprentice’ into the lower degrees of the Illuminati.

The Mountain Meadows Massacre (September 7–11, 1857) was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of the Baker–Fancher emigrant wagon train.[1][a] The massacre occurred in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows, and was perpetrated by settlers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) involved with the Utah Territorial Militia (officially called the Nauvoo Legion) who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans.[2] The wagon train, made up mostly of families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.

After arriving in Salt Lake City, the Baker–Fancher party made their way south along the Mormon Road, eventually stopping to rest at Mountain Meadows. As the party was traveling west there were rumors about the party's behavior towards Mormon settlers and war hysteria towards outsiders was rampant as a result of a military expedition dispatched by President Buchanan, and Territorial Governor Brigham Young's declaration of martial law in response.[3][4][5] While the emigrants were camped at the meadow, local militia leaders, including Isaac C. Haight and John D. Lee, made plans to attack the wagon train. The leaders of the militia, wanting to give the impression of tribal hostilities, persuaded Southern Paiutes to join with a larger party of militiamen disguised as Native Americans in an attack. During the militia's first assault on the wagon train, the emigrants fought back, and a five-day siege ensued. Eventually, fear spread among the militia's leaders that some emigrants had caught sight of the white men, likely discerning the actual identity of a majority of the attackers. As a result, militia commander William H. Dame ordered his forces to kill the emigrants. By this time, the emigrants were running low on water and provisions, and allowed some members of the militia – who approached under a white flag – to enter their camp. The militia members assured the emigrants they were protected, and after handing over their weapons, the emigrants were escorted away from their defensive position. After walking a distance from the camp, the militiamen, with the help of auxiliary forces hiding nearby, attacked the emigrants. The perpetrators killed all the adults and older children in the group, in the end sparing only seventeen young children under the age of seven.[a]

Following the massacre, the perpetrators buried some of the remains but ultimately left most of the bodies exposed to wild animals and the climate. Local families took in the surviving children, with many of the victims' possessions and remaining livestock being auctioned off. Investigations, which were interrupted by the American Civil War, resulted in nine indictments in 1874. Of the men who were indicted, only John D. Lee was tried in a court of law. After two trials in the Utah Territory, Lee was convicted by a jury, sentenced to death, and executed by firing squad on March 23, 1877.

Historians attribute the massacre to a combination of factors, including war hysteria about a possible invasion of Mormon territory and Mormon teachings against outsiders, which were part of the Mormon Reformation period. Scholars debate whether senior leadership in Mormonism, including Brigham Young, directly instigated the massacre or if responsibility for it lay only with the local leaders in southern Utah.

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.”

That is the law of God as laid down in the beginning; that if a man shall shed blood, by man shall his blood be shed. Why? Because the blood is the life of the flesh, and is the only atonement a man can make for killing another. A murderer, by the shedding of his blood, may make some atonement for his sin; but he cannot come forth and inherit an exaltation in eternal life, he must be content with a less degree of glory. Still, as Brother Brigham taught, there is a chance for some men who have committed this great transgression if their blood be shed, and there are others who, even if they were willing to have their blood shed, could not obtain forgiveness for their transgressions. You can read about this in the revelation on celestial marriage. (Doctrine and Covenants, Sec. cxxxii,par. 26-7.) They are those who have not only been baptized into the Church of Christ, received the power of the Holy Spirit and been enlightened from on high, but have been in the most sacred places on the earth, ordained of God by His holy law, and have made special covenants in relation to that and other sins; they have been specially enlightened ; they have gone from step to step, from grace to grace, from knowledge to knowledge, and have had keys of power placed in their hands whereby, if they are faithful, they may climb to the highest pinnacle of honor and glory in the presence of our Heavenly Father, and then they turn round and commit this great transgression, the shedding of innocent blood. For them there is no forgiveness. They will be banished from the presence of God; they cannot inherit the glory which was sealed upon them, however repentant they may be; they cannot come up in the first resurrection and enter into their exaltation; but they must be cast out from the presence of God and have the everlasting penalty pronounced,

“Depart from me ye workers of iniquity.”

They will be banished from the presence of God,, which is spiritual destruction, that spiritual death which is called the “second death.”

But, there are other persons who by making thisitonement may obtain redemption—persons that have not advanced to this degree of knowledge in understanding, and whose sins are not of so* heinous a nature. Because sin is guaged by the light of the individual. The depth of man’s infamy is guaged by the degree of his light and is opportunity. He that knows much is expected to do much. Of him that knows but little, only little is expected. If a man has great light and he sins he is the greater sinner. I have heard people argue that all sin is the result of ignorance. Well, it is just the other way. Sin is rather the result of knowledge ; because a man cannot sin without some light. An idiot cannot sin, because he is responsible. It takes a responsible being to do responsible wrong. The more responsible a man is, the greater wrong he does if he commits transgression.

The greater a man’s light is, the greater is sin. The greater the light, the greater the condemnation for doing wrong. That is based upon the eternal principle of justice. From this, then, it would seem that if a man commits a sin unto death there is no redemption : if not unto death, and he pays the penalty, there is for him a chance of salvation.

This divine law for shedding the blood of a murderer has never been repealed. It is a law given by the Almighty and not abrogated in the Christian faith. It stands on record for all time that a murderer shall have his blood shed. He that commits murder must be slain. “Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” I know there are some benevolent and I philanthropic people in these times who think that capital punishment ought to be abolished.

Yet I think the Lord knows better than they. Their law He has ordained will have the best results to mankind in general.

Well, is there any other sin that a man may commit which is worthy of death? I think there is. I will refer you to one in the Book of Leviticus, 20th chapter and 10th verse:

“And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and; the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”

That was the law of God in the days of Moses. It was the law of God previous to the days of Moses, as you will find by reference to the Book of 1 Genesis. It has been a law of God from the beginning. Some people have an idea that Jesus.

Christ did away with that law, and they bring up the case of the woman that had been taken in transgression. The object of the Pharisees in bringing the woman to the Savior was that they might catch Him in some way. You will find by a reading the history of Jesus Christ’s ministry on the earth that it was then as it is to-day—snares are all the time being laid to catch the servants of God. They tried to entrap Him in many ways but He was able to meet them with the wisdom of the Great God ; for the Spirit of God was given to Him without measure. The woman they brought to Him was taken in this great transgression. The Pharisees knew the law -of Moses was that she should be put to death. They inquired what Jesus had to say. He stooped down and thought a little while, then wrote with His finger on the ground and exclaimed, “Let him that is without sin cast the first stone !

”The Pharisees looked at each other and finally they slipped away. Why ? Because that was “an evil and adulterous generation.’’

Those self-righteous hypocrites were guilty of the transgression themselves, and the person to inflict the penalty justly, had to be one who was not guilty; for how could one such sinner rightly inflict the penalty upon another? Jesus Christ’s words smote them to the heart, and they slunk off and left the woman standing there. Did the sinner go free? Did Jesus say the law ought not to be inflicted? No. He asked: “Woman, where are thine accusers ?” They were gone. “Neither do I accuse thee.” It must be remembered that there must be accusers as well as judges. Jesus set a pattern which judges in these times would do well to follow. He did not act as an attorney for the prosecution or as a witness against the accused as well as a judge to pronounce the sentence. “Woman, where are those thine accusers ? * * *

Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” pages 26-27

Pope Leo XIV[a] (born Robert Francis Prevost,[b][c] September 14, 1955) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State. He is the first pope to have been born in the United States, the first from North America, the first to hold either U.S. or Peruvian citizenships (or both), the first born after World War II, the first from the Order of Saint Augustine, and the second (after his immediate predecessor Pope Francis) from the Americas.

Prevost was born in Chicago and raised in the nearby suburb of Dolton, Illinois. He became a friar in the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and was ordained as a priest in 1982. He earned a Doctor of Canon Law (JCD) degree in 1987 from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome. His service includes extensive missionary work in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s—he worked there as a parish pastor, diocesan official, seminary teacher, and administrator. Elected prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine, he was based in Rome from 2001 to 2013, and traveled extensively as part of this work, including to the order's many provinces and missions around the world. He then returned to Peru as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. In 2023, Pope Francis appointed him prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome, and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

Upon his return to Rome in 2023, Prevost was made a cardinal by Pope Francis. As Cardinal Prevost, he emphasized synodality, missionary dialogue, and engagement with social and technological challenges. He has also addressed issues such as climate change, global migration, church governance, and human rights, and expressed alignment with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and the direction set for the Church by Francis.

Prevost's election in the 2025 conclave was unexpected by observers; he was a dark horse candidate, with Vatican insiders believing the prospect of a pope from the United States to be unrealistic given its status as a superpower.[8][9] In honor of Pope Leo XIII, who developed modern Catholic social teaching amid the tumult of the Second Industrial Revolution, Prevost chose the papal name Leo XIV — both to echo Leo XIII's concern for workers and fairness, and as a response to the challenges of a new industrial revolution and artificial intelligence.[10]

The English name "China" was borrowed from Portuguese during the 16th century, and its direct cognates became common in the subsequent centuries in the West.[2] It is believed to be a borrowing from Middle Persian, and some have traced it further back to the Sanskrit word चीन (cīna) for the nation. It is also thought that the ultimate source of the name China is the Chinese word Qín (秦), the name of the Qin dynasty that ultimately unified China after existing as a state within the Zhou dynasty for many centuries prior. However, there are alternative suggestions for the etymology of this word.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_China

The Qin dynasty (/tʃɪn/ CHIN[3]) was the first imperial dynasty of China. It is named for its progenitor state of Qin, a fief of the confederal Zhou dynasty (c. 1046–256 BC). Beginning in 230 BC, the Qin under King Ying Zheng engaged in a series of wars conquering each of the rival states that had previously pledged fealty to the Zhou. This culminated in 221 BC with the successful unification of China under Qin, which then assumed an imperial prerogative – with Ying Zheng declaring himself to be Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, and bringing an end to the Warring States period (c. 475–221 BC).

AI Overview

"Laws" (/lɔːz/) has a voiced 'z' sound at the end with a long 'aw' vowel, while "loss" (/lɔs/ or /lɑs/) typically has an unvoiced 's' sound and a shorter 'o' vowel, though many American accents merge the vowel, making the final consonant sound (Z vs. S) the key difference, like in "law-z" versus "los-s".

Key Differences

Laws (/lɔːz/): Starts with the "law" sound (like in saw) and ends with a buzzing 'z' sound.

Loss (/lɔs/ or /lɑs/): Starts with a similar "law" sound but ends with a sharp 's' sound, like in sock or bus.

6 Times Martial Law Was Declared and the Constitution Suspended in the United States

An 1862 engraving of the Baltimore Riots of 1861.

Military.com | By Blake Stilwell

Published March 21, 2022

Martial law is basically what it sounds like: an armed force taking over for law enforcement. In the United States, martial law means the U.S. military or National Guard is tasked to take over, typically in a limited region or part of the country.

There's a lot of legislation governing martial law in the U.S., because when it's used, things like "constitutional rights" tend to get tossed out the window. Most often, these are rights like gathering in groups, owning guns and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. At least historically, the truth is that during martial law, the military officer in command can pretty much rule by decree and detain anyone for any reason.

For better or worse, martial law has been declared 68 times in the U.S. and its territories, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute. Natural disasters, riots and even Mormons have all resulted in the civilian government temporarily ceding its power to the military. Here are a few notable examples from throughout U.S. history.

1. The Battle of New Orleans

In the last months of 1814, the British navy launched an offensive in the southern United States targeting West Florida and Louisiana. As the year came to a close, it was clear the British had their sights set on New Orleans. Standing in their way was Brevet Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson and his ragtag group of regulars, militiamen, slaves, pirates and Native American fighters.

So it was basically the most American battle ever. (U.S. Army)

Before all that (and actually after all that), Jackson declared martial law in the city. And also outside the city. Jackson turned New Orleans into a police state. He famously arrested a sitting Louisiana senator for publicly criticizing him. And when a federal judge demanded a writ of habeas corpus -- basically a demand for proof of wrongdoing -- Jackson arrested the judge, too.

2. Mormons!

Mormon leaders have twice declared martial law in areas they governed. The first time came in 1843, when Mormon founder Joseph Smith was accused of abusing his authority as mayor of Nauvoo, Illinois, after he beat the rap for allegedly trying to murder a former governor of Missouri.

Smith ordered the city to destroy a local paper critical of his office, so the citizens raised an army to capture him. Smith declared martial law and called out his own militia. The governor of Illinois then threatened to call in the state militia, but Smith escaped before it all went down.

By 1857, the Mormons had resettled in Utah, where some of their beliefs chafed against U.S. federal law. In response, Worst President Ever James Buchanan sent a large part of the U.S. Army to Utah to enforce federal law. After decades of persecution, the Mormons (understandably) flipped out, declared martial law and raised an army of their own.

Order was restored only after Mormon leader Brigham Young was replaced by Alfred Cumming, and the Mormons agreed to submit to federal authority and let the army into Utah. All Mormons were pardoned by the president.

3. President Lincoln Suspends the Constitution in Order to Save It

President Abraham Lincoln's most dastardly deed (not a phrase you see every day) was the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War. Shortly after the South shelled Fort Sumter in April 1861, Lincoln allowed for the detention of civilians accused of being spies, saboteurs and other undesirables to the Union war effort, which meant pretty much anyone critical of the Union. Instead of facing good ol' American justice, the accused faced a military tribunal.

American citizens were understandably upset by this. (Library of Congress)

This didn't sit well with the Supreme Court, which ruled that as long as civilian courts within the justice system were able to try defendants, they still had the authority to do so. Military tribunals could only be used when the military was the only authority available. Ultimately, Lincoln's use of martial law resulted in a law known as the Posse Comitatus Act.

4. When Striking Workers and Union Busters Go Too Far

Labor unions may have a hard time getting started at places like Amazon, but that pales in comparison to what coal miners had to go through around the turn of the 20th century. For a group so critical to the U.S. economy, one might think things like a pay raise, some days not spent underground for 12 hours at a time and not inhaling arsenic dust would be an easy ask.

Nope. Corporate leaders would send in union busters to actively sabotage organization efforts. If that failed, the busters would just attack strikers. Strikers would fight back, sometimes taking it too far.

In 1892, striking miners in Idaho blew up a mill with too much nitroglycerin and destroyed nearby buildings. The governor declared martial law and sent in the National Guard to arrest 600 workers. Only a few of them were actually convicted of a crime.

Members of the Colorado National Guard, some on horseback, disperse demonstrators in on Main Street in Trinidad, Las Animas County, Colorado. (Denver Library)

When Colorado miners began a strike in 1914, it again erupted into violence. The governor sent in the National Guard to shut down the violence, which was successful -- for a while. Miners got violent again and a private army owned by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company massacred more than a dozen people, including women and children. After the governor declared martial law, President Woodrow Wilson sent in federal troops. In 1917, martial law was again declared after union workers talked about a general strike during World War I.

5. Hawaii Accidentally Becomes a Military Dictatorship

The same day the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, the territorial governor of Hawaii (which was not yet a state), declared martial law. His declaration would stand until October 1944 for fear of Japanese spies and saboteurs.

The Dec. 7, 1941 issue of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin announced the islands were under martial law.

It may have seemed like the right call at the time, but according to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper, Gov. John Poindexter "surrendered" Hawaii to the U.S. military. The military used the occasion to force Hawaiians of Japanese descent off their land and to intern them in camps, 1,441 in all.

6. Kicking Organized Crime Out of Alabama

By now, we all know what happens when the production and sale of alcohol is banned in the United States: criminals start producing and selling alcohol. And they do it for a hefty profit. In a little town called Girard in Alabama, this cycle began in 1918 and quickly corrupted the town's law enforcement. When Girard merged with nearby Phenix City, the gangster corrupted Phenix City, too.

After 80,000 service members from nearby Fort Benning, Georgia, began patronizing the illegal watering holes, Phenix City became the "Wickedest City in America." After World War II, a wannabe district attorney ran his campaign on a platform of cleaning up the town. When he won, he was assassinated.

The governor of Alabama, realizing that local law enforcement was corrupted and useless, declared martial law. The Alabama National Guard used the authority of military rule to act in ways that would otherwise be unconstitutional. Weapons permits were invalidated, private clubs were raided and property seized. The entire underground economy was wiped out in less than a year.

You know your partying has gone way too far when it's broken up by the National Guard. (U.S. Army National Guard)

The Jesuits had successfully waged a war between two sovereign nations, the

United States of America and the Confederate States of America. The despots of

the Jesuits’ Holy Alliance had sided with the North, and thus, the Southern people

fought the world. The deceived patriots of the North fought to “save the Union” but

they in fact destroyed it, and on its ruins the Jesuits, with their Freemasons, would

erect a new Union—a new United Socialist States of America. This new nation

would be a Jesuit “democratic” socialist republic with the President, as Commanderin-

Chief, exercising powers of an absolute Monarch. The old Calvinistic Federal

Republic of Washington would be converted into a huge centralized Empire with the

ten planks of the Masonic Communist Manifesto replacing The Ten Commandments of

Moses. In order to accomplish this, the Constitution had to be amended—“by hook

or by crook.” It would be amended in accordance with the Masonic cry of both

French Revolutions. “Liberty” would be the Thirteenth Amendment. “Equality”

would be the Fourteenth Amendment. “Fraternity” would be the Fifteenth

Amendment. We now will examine the forced ratification of the Fourteenth

Amendment with all its tyranny and usurpation, as it was the coup d’etat.

Vatican Assassins

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

616

On July 28, 1868 the Fourteenth Amendment was declared to be “ratified” by

the Radicals in Washington. Since 1866 the Southern States had been under martial

law and divided into five military districts. The districts were governed by five Union

Generals beholden to the Jesuits, including General Benjamin F. Butler known as

“Butler the Beast.” The wicked, bigoted Thaddeus Stevens with his

“Reconstruction Act” of 1866 had implemented martial law. And why? Because the

Southern State governments, having ratified the Thirteenth Amendment, refused to

ratify the Fourteenth Amendment. So the solution of the Radicals, to the disgrace of

the Protestant ministers and people of the North, was to suspend the lawful State

governments and impose martial law (absolutism). The only way the Southern States

could be re-admitted into this new “Union of North American Socialist Republics,”

thereby ending martial law, was to “ratify” this new amendment. That is called

“consent at the point of a bayonet” or rather, “forced conversion of heretics.”

Why was the Fourteenth Amendment, forced on the South by the Radical,

Communist, Red Republican Jacobins of the North, so important to the Jesuits and

their despots of Europe, including apostate Protestant Queen Victoria of England

whose policies were dictated by her Jesuit-controlled Prime Ministers, Lord John

Russell and Viscount Palmerston? Section 1 of the Amendment reads:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to

the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the

State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which

shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States

[which “privileges and immunities” do not include ancient common law

rights or the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights]; nor shall any State deprive

any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny

to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” {15}

The coup d’etat is in the first sentence. It made all persons born in the

United States (excluding the Indian nations) citizens of the United States first and

citizens of a State secondly. This reversed the original American citizenship.

Senator James G. Blaine, one of the Order’s Temporal Coadjutors (according to 1883

author Edwin A. Sherman) and Radical Red Republicans of the day, explained:

“In the first place, we ask that they will agree to certain changes in the

Constitution of the United States; and, to begin with, we want them to unite

with us in broadening the citizenship of the Republic. The slaves recently

emancipated by proclamation, and subsequently by Constitutional

Amendment, have no civil status. They should be made citizens, and in

making this extension of citizenship, we are not confining the breadth and

scope of our efforts to the negro. It is for the white man as well. We intend

to make citizenship National. Heretofore, a man has been a citizen of the

Chapter 27

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

617

United States because he was a citizen of some one of the States: Now, we

propose to reverse that, and make him a citizen of any State where he

chooses to reside, by defining in advance his National citizenship—and

our Amendment declares that ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United

States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United

States [first] and [secondly] of the States [State] wherein they reside.’ ” {16}

[Emphasis added]

Years later our Jesuit-controlled Supreme Court, in describing the effect of the

Fourteenth Amendment, would say the same as its radical authors.

“ ‘In reviewing the subject,’ [“Jesuitical”] Chief Justice White [according

to our hero Jeremiah Crowley] said in the Selective Draft Law Cases, 245

US 366, 377, 388-389, ‘ . . . it broadened the national scope of the

Government under the Constitution by causing citizenship of the United

States to be paramount and dominant instead of being subordinate and

derivative, and therefore, operating as it does upon all the powers conferred

by the Constitution.’ ” {17} [Emphasis added]

Simply put, by reversing American citizenship and making it “National,” all

the powers of the government, specifically granted by the Constitution, were greatly

increased. A new citizenship created a new government. All the executive, legislative

and judicial powers in Washington were “broadened.” So the radicals, pretending to

do good to the Black freedman, used these freedmen to centralize and increase

Rome’s power in Washington with the Fourteenth Amendment.

(This is exactly what happened as a result of the Civil Rights movement during the

1960s. In seeking to concentrate more power in Washington under the guise of

ending segregation in the South, the Jesuits using Freemasonry fomented the Civil

Rights Agitation with their Black communist, Martin Luther (Lucifer) King. Once

again, the using of deliberately agitated American Negroes conferred more power in

Washington with the 1964 Civil Rights Act, enacted through a perversion of “The

Commerce Clause” and written by one of Rome’s most powerful priests in America

with over one hundred earned and honorary degrees, CFR member Theodore M.

Hesburgh. Race-mixing in the South would gradually become a reality accelerating

the destruction of another White Protestant and Baptist “heretic” nation!)

Many Southern statesmen knew the true purpose of the Fourteenth

Amendment. The former Vice-President of the Confederacy, Freemason Alexander

Stephens, was one of them. He wrote:

“These monstrous Reconstruction Measures, with all their enormities and

fatal tendencies towards ultimate complete Centralism and Empire, are

Vatican Assassins

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

618

still based upon the assumption that the States, as separate integral parts,

constitute members of what is still, in words, at least, acknowledged to be a

Federal Union! All these bold usurpations of power are, upon their face,

nothing but resorts to induce, or to compel, under duress, the Peoples of the

several Southern States to go through the forms of adopting the Fourteenth

Amendment . . .” {18} [Emphasis added]

Honest Freemason Alexander H. Stephens knew that the forced ratification of

the Fourteenth Amendment would create a centralized Empire out of a federation of

sovereign States. The President would exercise powers of a Monarch, the Congress

would exercise powers of a Parliament and the Supreme Court would exercise powers

of a King’s Bench, having its jurisdiction extended to include anything and everything

under the guise of the new “Federal Question Jurisdiction.”

Federal Question Jurisdiction is an alien and foreign jurisdiction to the

original Constitution. It created “judicial supremacy” in the Supreme Court,

broadening its power of review to overturn laws and decisions of the several States.

There are virtually no judicial decisions, state or federal, that cannot be appealed to

the Supreme Court with a “Writ of Certiorari.” With this all-encompassing

jurisdiction and the thousands of appeals filed annually, the Jesuits at Georgetown

University influence the Supreme Court as to which cases to hear. The ensuing

decisions further the purpose of the Order in destroying White, Protestant American

culture along with its popular self-government or “liberalism,” as the Jesuits call it.

Remembering previous chapters, the Jesuits have avowed to destroy both

Protestantism and Liberalism pursuant to their Jesuit Oath and Council of Trent.

In looking back, we Americans can see the evil decisions made possible by the

Jesuits’ “Federal Question Jurisdiction.” Among others, it enabled the Supreme

Court to force the religion of evolution down our throats, to force the integration of

public schools when neither the Whites nor the Blacks wanted it; to legalize abortion

and prohibit capital punishment overthrowing laws of the States to the contrary, and

to outlaw Bible-reading and prayer in the “accursed public schools.” For in

prohibiting Bible-reading and prayer in the public schools, Protestant civilization is

destroyed, and with it, popular self-government—to the delight of the Jesuit Order!!!

The Jesuits are absolutists. Therefore, the pagan governments they control

must exercise absolute powers. Since rights limit powers, the rights of the citizens

can be no more than privileges granted from absolute governments of nations past

such as Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Ancient English liberties and commonlaw

rights cannot be included. Such is the case with every socialist-communist

government of today, be it the monarchy of Queen Elizabeth II, the military

dictatorship of Castro or the democracy of Presidents William J. Clinton or George

W. Bush, alias “King George II,” a descendant of England’s Stuart Dynasty.

Chapter 27

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

619

Therefore, one more nail had to be driven into America’s coffin. The Jesuits

would not allow the powers newly given to Washington to be absolutely limited by

the rights of its newly created national citizens, both White and Black. The

“privileges and immunities” of this new Fourteenth Amendment citizenship had to

be defined by the Supreme Court so as not to include fundamental or common-law

rights. This happened on April 14, 1873 (the anniversary of the assassination of

President Lincoln in the Ford’s Theater “Slaughterhouse”) with the decision given

in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 83 US 36, 80 (1873). The decision truly slaughtered our

rights. The court held:

“We are of the opinion that the rights claimed by these plaintiffs in error

[fundamental, common-law rights] if they have any existence [What

arrogance!!!] are not privileges and immunities of citizens of the United

States within the meaning of the clause of the fourteenth amendment under

consideration.” {19}

The Freemason, Justice Stephen J. Field, another hero and nearly assassinated by

one of his California judicial brethren, strongly dissented. He declared:

“The fundamental rights, privileges, and immunities which belong to him as

a free man and a free citizen, now belong to him as a citizen of the United

States, and are not dependent upon his citizenship of any State. . . . The

Amendment does not attempt to confer any new privileges or immunities

upon citizens, or to enumerate or define those already existing. It assumes

that there are such privileges and immunities, which belong of right to

citizens as such, and ordains that they shall not be abridged by state

legislation. If this inhibition has no reference to privileges and immunities

of this character, but only refers, as held by the majority of the court in their

opinion, to such privileges and immunities as were, before its adoption,

specially designated in the Constitution, or necessarily implied as belonging

to citizens of the United States, it was a vain and idle enactment, which

accomplished nothing, and most unnecessarily excited Congress and the

people on its passage. . . . But, if the Amendment refers to the natural and

inalienable rights which belong to all citizens, the inhibition has a profound

significance and consequence.” {20} [Emphasis added]

Field was correct but the radical Black Republicans prevailed. Slaughterhouse

would be the precedent with which every following decision must agree. The Bill of

Rights would not be considered as “privileges and immunities” of Fourteenth

Amendment U.S. citizenship. But the two great dissenters through the years (both

being Freemasons according to House Undivided by Allen Roberts (1961)) would be

our heroes, Justice Stephen Field and Justice John Marshall Harlan from

Kentucky. Harlan’s great dissent in Maxwell v. Dow, 176 US 597, 607, 610, 611

(1899), given just before the turn of the Black Pope’s “American Century” reads:

Vatican Assassins

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

620

“It seems to me that the privileges and immunities enumerated in these [ten]

amendments [Bill of Rights] belong to every citizen of the United States.

They were universally so regarded prior to the adoption of the Fourteenth

Amendment. . . . I take it no one doubts that the great men who laid the

foundations of our government regarded the preservation of the privileges

and immunities specified in the first ten Amendments as vital to the

personal security of American citizens . . .

But, if I do not wholly misapprehend the scope and legal effect of the

present decision, the Constitution of the United States does not stand in the

way of any state [or the new National Government in Washington, D.C.]

striking down guaranties of life and liberty that English-speaking people

have for centuries regarded as vital to personal security, and which the men

of the revolutionary period universally claimed as the birthright of

[American] freemen.” {21} [Emphasis added]

This same question was again before the Court in 1908. In Twining v. New

Jersey, 211 US 97, 105, 106 (1908), the majority opinion sealed forever the holding

of the Slaughterhouse Cases. Proceeding as if it were England’s King’s Bench or

the Pope’s Sacred Rota, it arrogantly declared:

“This view is based upon the contention which must now be examined, that

the safeguards of personal rights which are enumerated in the first eight

articles of amendment to the Federal Constitution, sometimes called the

Federal Bill of Rights though they were by those Amendments originally

secured only against national action, are among the privileges and

immunities of citizens of the United States, which this clause of the 14th

Amendment protects against state action. This view has been, at different

times, expressed by justices of this court . . . (Mr. Justice Field . . . and

Mr. Justice Harlan . . .), and was undoubtedly that entertained by some of

those who framed the Amendment.

[The Court then gives its Jesuitical, absolutist, tyrannical decree, opening the door for

the Empire’s future fascist Roman Catholic, military dictatorship.]

It is, however, not profitable to examine the weighty arguments in its favor,

for the question is no longer open in the court. The right of trial by jury in

civil cases, guaranteed by the 7th Amendment . . . and the right to bear arms,

guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment, have been distinctly held not to be

privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, guaranteed by

the 14th Amendment . . . the same decision was made in respect of the

guaranty against prosecution, except by indictment of a grand jury,

contained in the 5th Amendment . . . and in respect of the right to be

confronted with witnesses, contained in the 6th Amendment . . . In Maxwell

Chapter 27

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

621

v. Dow, supra, where the plaintiff in error had been convicted in a state

court of a felony upon an information, and by a jury of eight persons, it was

held that the indictment, made indispensable by the 5th Amendment, and the

trial by jury, guaranteed by the 6th Amendment, were not privileges and

immunities of citizens of the United States, as those words were used in the

14th Amendment. The discussion in that case ought not to be repeated. All

the arguments for the other view were considered and answered . . . the

decision rested upon the ground that this clause of the 14th Amendment did

not forbid the states to abridge the personal rights enumerated in the first

eight Amendments, because those rights were not within the meaning of the

clause ‘privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States.’ ” [And

if the states are not forbidden to abridge the personal rights enumerated in

the first eight Amendments, then, logically, neither is the National

government forbidden to do likewise! What a sly accomplishment was this

deceptive coup d’etat of the Black Pope!] {22} [Emphasis added]

Dear truth-seeker, the rights of the people limit the powers of the government.

If the people have no absolute rights of citizenship, the rulers have absolute powers of

government. This is precisely what the Radical Red Republican Supreme Court

accomplished for the Jesuit Order when it overthrew the absolute rights of American

citizens, secured by the pen and sword of Protestant Calvinist freemen.

The Slaughterhouse Cases reduced each one of us to the status of a feudal,

Roman Catholic serf to whom, upon birth and baptism, is granted privileges and

immunities of citizenship from the all-powerful National Government and Church of

Rome. The government is ruled by its Commander-in-Chief (now overseen by a

Papal Nuncio) and the Church is ruled by its “infallible” Papal Caesar of Rome, both

of which are mere puppets of the General of the Jesuits, the Black Pope.

Summing it up, by 1868 the Jesuits, with their radical Republicans Thaddeus

Stevens and Charles Sumner, had forced the Fourteenth Amendment on the

peoples of the States, North and South. According to Federal Colonel Edwin Allen

Sherman, author The Engineer Corps of Hell (1883), the Jesuits had worked through

another Republican, James G. Blaine (“the liar from the State of Maine”), for the

“ruination of the Republic.” They had created a new nation as a result of creating a

new citizenship. By 1873 the Jesuits, with their radicals on the Supreme Court, had

made the powers of both the Federal (now National) and State governments absolute,

limited only by decisions of their respective King’s Benches—the Federal (now

National) and State Supreme Courts. The transition from a Presbyterian form of

government to a Roman Catholic form of government had been accomplished. And

how did they do that? By declaring that the Bill of Rights were not privileges and

immunities of Fourteenth Amendment citizenship, thereby overthrowing the ancient

liberties of White, English-speaking, Protestant and Baptist-Calvinist freemen.

Vatican Assassins

The Jesuits — 1868 – 1873

622

Indeed, the words of Jesuit-trained Pope Leo XIII have come to pass. The

Constitution of the United States has been modeled to the principles of the Roman

Catholic Church. This is the foundation of the American Empire’s coming fascist

military dictator, martial law, Concordat with Rome and mass-execution of a mixed

people having corrupted themselves and whose iniquity has come to the full.

The injustice of an absolutist, robbing people of their liberties and giving to

them privileges in their stead, is not new. Nimrod, the Black antichrist of the Old

Testament, had done this to the people of Babylon. We read:

“Though by setting up as king, Nimrod [now the Pope] invaded the

patriarchal system, and abridged the liberties of mankind, yet he was held

by many to have conferred benefits upon them, that amply indemnified

them for the loss of their liberties, and covered him with glory and renown

. . . he was the first that abridged the liberties of mankind as the grand

‘Emancipator!’ ” [Rome used President Andrew Johnson to this end!] {23}

The “New Republic” in a “New Era” deserves a “New Name.” From now on

the United States will be called “Fourteenth Amendment America,” “the American

Empire” or “the Holy Roman American Empire” composed of “the Union of

American/Soviet Socialist Republics” or rather, “the United Socialist States of

North America” which apparently now include predominantly Roman Catholic

Canada and Roman Catholic Mexico through the North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA), heavily promoted by Cardinal O’Connor’s Knight of Malta

and secret Kennedy assassin, Roman Catholic Lee Iacocca! For as the Jesuits in 1852

overthrew the Second Republic of France and imposed an Empire fully intended to

fight the Papal Caesar’s crusades led by Napoleon III, so they agitated and

overthrew the blessed, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Republic in America with the

“American Civil War.” On its ruins, the Sons of Loyola erected an Evil Socialist-

Communist Empire (via the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868) and perfected it in

1933 with their 33rd Degree Freemason, FDR, using his socialist-communist New

(dirty) Deal endorsed by Jesuit-controlled Charles E. Coughlin along with Priests

John Ryan and Monsignor Francis J. Haas of Catholic University of America. The

Society of Jesus, with their vile, “Holy Alliance” of White tyrants serving the Pope,

had won. As unbelievable as the world’s headlines read in 1960, “Eichmann in

Jerusalem,” even so the world moved ever closer to the same kind of shock and

surprise when the Pope, “whose deadly wound was healed” and thus adored by the

International Press, will also suddenly appear in Jerusalem!

From this time forward, we, the American people, both White and Black, as

well as Oriental, would never go to war with England again. But rather, we would be

brainwashed and incited to fight alongside of our royalist English foe in World War I

and World War II—the Jesuit General’s Second Thirty Years’ War.

Holocaust

As suggested by its Greek origin (holos "whole", and kaustos "burnt") the word designates an offering entirely consumed by fire, in use among the Jews and some pagan nations of antiquity. As employed in the Vulgate, it corresponds to two Hebrew terms: (1) to holah, literally: "that which goes up", either to the altar to be sacrificed, or to heaven in the sacrificial flame; (2) Kalil, literally: "entire", "perfect", which, as a sacrificial term, is usually a descriptive synonym of holah, and denotes an offering consumed wholly on the altar. At whatever time and by whomsoever offered, holocausts were naturally regarded as the highest, because the most complete, outward expression of man's reverence to God. It is, indeed, true that certain passages of the prophets of Israel have been construed by modern critics into an utter rejection of the offering of sacrifices, the holocausts included; but this position is the outcome of a partial view of the evidence, of the misconception of an attack on abuses as an attack on the institution which they had infected. For details concerning this point, and for a discussion of the place which the same scholars assign to the holah (holocaust) in their theory of the development of the sacrificial system among the Hebrews, see SACRIFICE. The following is a concise statement of the Mosaic Law as contained chiefly in what critics commonly call the Priests' Code, concerning whole burnt-offerings.

Victims for holocausts

Only animals could be offered in holocaust; for human victims, which were sacrificed by the Chanaanites and by other peoples, were positively excluded from the legitimate worship of Yahweh (cf. Leviticus 18:21; 20:2-5; Deuteronomy 12:31; etc.). In general, the victims had to be taken either from the herd (young bullocks) or from the flock (sheep or goats); and, to be acceptable, the animal was required to be a male, as the more valuable, and without blemish, as only then worthy of God (Leviticus 1:2, 3, 5, 10; 22:17 sqq.). In certain cases, however, birds (only turtle-doves or young pigeons) were offered in holocaust (Leviticus 1:14; etc.); these birds were usually allowed to the poor as a substitute for the larger and more expensive animals (Leviticus 5:7; 12:8; 14:22), and were even directly prescribed in some cases of ceremonial uncleanness (Leviticus 15:14, 15, 29, 30). Game and fishes, which were sacrificed in some pagan worships of Western Asia, were not objects of sacrifice in the Mosaic Law.

Ritual of holocausts

The principle rites to be carried out in the offering of holocausts, were (1) on the part of the offerer, that he should bring the animal to the door of the tabernacle, impose his hands on its head, slay it to the north of the altar, flay and cut up its carcass, and wash its entrails and legs; (2) on the part of the priest, that he should receive the blood of the victim, sprinkle it about the altar, and burn the offering. In the case of an offering of birds, it was the priest who killed the victims and flung aside as unsuitable their crop and feathers (Leviticus 1). In public sacrifices, it was also the priest's duty to slay the victims, being assisted on occasions by the Levites. The inspection of the entrails, which played a most important part in the sacrifices of several ancient people, notably of the Phoenicians, had no place in the Mosaic ritual.

Classes of holocausts

Among the Hebrews, holocausts were of two general kinds, according as their offering was prescribed by the Law or the result of private vow or devotion. The obligatory holocausts were (1) the daily burnt-offering of a lamb; this holocaust was made twice a day (at the third and ninth hour), and accompanied by a cereal oblation and a libation of wine (Exodus 29:38-42; Numbers 28:3-8); (2) the sabbath burnt-offering, which included the double amount of all the elements of the ordinary daily holocaust (Numbers 28:9, 10); (3) the festal burnt-offering, celebrated at the New Moon, the Pasch, on the Feast of Trumpets, the day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, on which occasions the number of the victims and the quantity of the other offerings were considerably increased; (4) the holocausts prescribed for the consecration of a priest (Exodus 29:15 sqq.; Leviticus 8:18; 9:12), at the purification of women (Leviticus 12:6-8), at the cleansing of lepers (Leviticus 14:19, 20), at the purgation of ceremonial uncleanness (Leviticus 15:15, 30), and finally in connection with the Nazarite vow (Numbers 6:11, 16). In the voluntary burnt-offerings the number of the victims was left to the liberality or to the wealth of the offerer (cf. 1 Kings 3:4; 1 Chronicles 29:21, etc., for very large voluntary holocausts), and the victims might be supplied by the Gentiles, a permission of which Augustus actually availed himself, according to Philo (Legatio ad Caium, xl).

Chief purposes of holocausts

The following are the principal purposes of the whole burnt-offerings prescribed by the Mosaic Law: (1) By the total surrender and destruction of victims valuable, pure, innocent, and most nearly connected with man, holocausts vividly recalled to the Hebrews of old the supreme dominion of God over His creatures, and suggested to them the sentiments of inner purity and entire self-surrender to the Divine Majesty, without which even those most excellent sacrifices could not be of any account before the Almighty Beholder of the secrets of the heart. (2) In offering holocausts with the proper dispositions worshippers could feel assured of acceptance with God, Who then looked upon the victims as a means of atonement for their sins (Leviticus 1:4), as a well-pleasing sacrifice on their behalf (Leviticus 1:3, 9), and as a cleansing from whatever defilement might have prevented them from appearing worthily before Him (Leviticus 14:20). (3) The holocausts of the Old Law foreshadowed the great and perfect sacrifice which Jesus, the High Priest of the New Law and the true Lamb of God, was to offer in fulfillment of all the bloody sacrifices of the first covenant (Hebrews 9:12, sqq.; etc.).

Nazi crematoria, especially within the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, were industrial-scale facilities designed to incinerate the bodies of Jewish people and other victims murdered in gas chambers as part of the "Final Solution". The construction of crematoria at concentration camps began in 1939-1940 to handle high mortality rates, initially using coke-fired ovens supplied by the Erfurt-based firm Topf & Söhne.

The ratlines (German: Rattenlinien) were systems of escape routes for German Nazis and other fascists fleeing Europe from 1945 onwards in the aftermath of World War II. These escape routes mainly led toward havens in the Americas, particularly in Argentina, though also in Paraguay, Colombia,[1] Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Bolivia, as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, and Switzerland.

Death threats are generally considered a serious criminal offense, and their legality depends on various factors, including the intent behind the threat and the context in which it was made.

Definition and Legal Framework

A death threat is a statement made by one person or group to kill another person or group, often intended to intimidate or manipulate behavior. In most jurisdictions, making a death threat is a criminal offense, typically classified under coercion or criminal threat statutes. The legal system distinguishes between protected speech and genuine threats through the "true threat" doctrine, which requires that the threat must communicate a serious intent to commit violence.

legalclarity.org

Key Legal Considerations

True Threats: For a statement to be considered a true threat, it must be directed at a specific individual or group with the intent to instill fear of bodily harm or death. The focus is on whether a reasonable person would perceive the statement as a credible threat.

Intent and Context: Courts evaluate the speaker's intent and the context of the statement. Factors include the specificity of the threat, the speaker's history with the victim, and the medium used to communicate the threat (e.g., verbal, written, or electronic).

Credibility: The threat must be credible enough to cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety. Vague or ambiguous statements are less likely to be prosecuted as criminal threats.

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.

In the Nazi state, the SS assumed leading responsibility for security, identification of ethnicity, settlement and population policy, and intelligence collection and analysis. The SS controlled the German police forces and the concentration camp system. The SS conceived and implemented plans designed to restructure the ethnic composition of eastern Europe and the occupied Soviet Union.

From 1939, the SS assumed responsibility for “solving” the so-called Jewish Question; after 1941, its leadership planned, coordinated and directed the so-called Final Solution of the Jewish Question. This “solution” was the annihilation of the European Jews, which we now refer to as the Holocaust

2 §1. The character and charism of the Society of Jesus arise from the Spiritual Exercises which our holy father Ignatius and his companions went through. Led by this experience, they formed an apostolic group rooted in charity, in which, after they had taken the vows of chastity and poverty and had been raised to the priesthood, they offered themselves as a HOLOCAUST to God,[2] so that serving as soldiers of God beneath the banner of the cross and serving the Lord alone and the Church his spouse under the Roman Pontiff, the vicar of Christ on earth,[3] they would be sent into the entire world[4] for the defense and propagation of the faith and for the progress of souls in Christian life and doctrine.

Jews and the Knights Templar – a complex relationship

Thousands of Jewish people around the world are taking up an invitation from the Portuguese government to return to Portugal. Their ancestors were forced out of the country by the Inquisition from the 15th century onwards. And it seems a good moment to look back at the relationship between Portuguese Jews and the Knights Templar in Portugal.

https://thetemplarknight.com/2011/09/18/jews-knights-templar-relationship/

In 1129 the Master, accompanied by three hundred knights, recruited from the noblest houses of Europe, led a huge train of pilgrims to the Holy Land. It was at this time that the Templars formed part of the Christian contingent which, allied with the Assassins, tried to take Damascus. [And it wasn't the first time nor the last that the Christian Knights Templar, or supposedly Christian Knights Templar (they really weren't Christian at all) were allied with the Assassins.] Were they (as the Orientalist von Hammer alleges)109 connected in some secret way with the Assassins? [Yes, our research shows that it is a historical fact. And it is also a historical fact that the Assassins were prepared to adopt Christianity if they could gain greater power thereby (Christianity, that is, on the surface, just as the Knights Templar had done)]. Hammer points to the similarities of the two organizations. The followers of Hasan Ibn Sabah were in contact with the Templars, and had a similar method of organization. They were in existence before the Templars were formed: “The Ismailians ([or] Assassins) was the original, and [folks] the Order of the Templars, [was] the copy.”

Dear Mr. Dunn:

On behalf of the Court, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your service as a juror in State of Nevada v. Ryan Joe Coddington. Your conscientious consideration of the challenging and sensitive issues presented to you in this case proves that our Constitutional system of trial by our peers works to ensure fair and unbiased decisions are handed out of our courts.

Abraham Lincoln once said that "A jury is the common sense of a common people." The only way we have justice is through the judicial system in the United States. Justice really means fairness. It means that if you're charged with a crime, you can appear in front of a jury of your peers who will judge the facts fairly as a citizen of this State. A jury of your peers means a mix of people from all walks of life using their common sense to do justice. It is one of the most important civic responsibilities of being a United States Citizen.

I appreciate the fact that you responded to your summons as a juror willing to do your job. Our judicial system only works because citizens like you are interested, concerned and willing to make whatever arrangements are necessary in their personal lives to be able to perform this invaluable service. Your presence on the jury was a great asset in this case.

Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Court and the people of Lyon County for your willingness to serve as a juror and to give so freely of your time and abilities. I ADMIRE YOU for your commitment to this case.

With GREAT respect,

Honorable John P. Schlegelmilch District Court Judge

AI Overview

Positions in God's Kingdom on earth, often referred to as the five-fold ministry, are roles aimed at equipping believers rather than just holding a title. The primary roles include Apostles, Prophets/Prophetesses, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers. Other roles focus on service and leadership, such as elders, deacons, bishops, and missionaries, all tasked with nurturing the Church.

Prophet/Prophetess: Speaks God's word, offers direction, correction, and warns the people.

Evangelist: Proclaims the gospel and brings people to faith.

Pastor: Shepherds, feeds, and protects the congregation.

Arminius (/ɑːrˈmɪniəs/; 18/17 BC–AD 21; Hermann in German) was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe who is best known for commanding an alliance of Germanic tribes at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, in which three Roman legions under the command of general and governor Publius Quinctilius Varus were destroyed. His victory at Teutoburg Forest precipitated the Roman Empire's permanent strategic withdrawal and the deprovincialization of Germania Magna,[2] and modern historians regard it as one of Imperial Rome's greatest defeats.[3] As it prevented the Romanization of Germanic peoples east of the Rhine, it has also been considered one of the most decisive battles in history[4][5][6][7] and a turning point in human history.[8]

JACOBUS Arminius (/ɑːrˈmɪniəs/; Dutch: Jakob Hermanszoon[a]; 10 October 1560 – 19 October 1609) was a Dutch Reformed minister and theologian during the Protestant Reformation period whose views became the basis of Arminianism and the Dutch Remonstrant movement.

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution (French: Société des amis de la Constitution), renamed the Society of the Jacobins, Friends of Freedom and Equality (Société des Jacobins, amis de la liberté et de l'égalité) after 1792 and commonly known as the Jacobin Club (Club des Jacobins) or simply the Jacobins (/ˈdʒækəbɪn/; French: [ʒakɔbɛ̃]), was the most influential political club during the French Revolution of 1789. The period of its political ascendancy includes the Reign of Terror, during which well over 10,000 people were put on trial and executed in France, many for political crimes.

AI Overview

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) historically used real human skeletons in their initiation rituals, acting as a memento mori (reminder of mortality) and a symbol of brotherhood. These skeletons, often sourced from medical supply companies, were frequently hidden within lodge walls or floorboards, intended to scare new members into valuing their lives.

Symbolism: Similar to Freemasons, the Odd Fellows, a separate organization, used skulls and bones not out of dark morbidity, but as a reminder to focus on charity, friendship, and morality.

AI Overview

Ellen G. White (1827–1915), a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, attended a significant camp meeting in Reno, Nevada, from May 24 to June 4, 1888. She was photographed with attendees during this visit, which was part of the early development of the Adventist movement in the Western United States.

One hundred years ago, just before the turn of the last century, Pope Leo XIII addressed an apostolic letter to James Cardinal Gibbons and the American hierarchy condemning “the opinions which some comprise under the head of Americanism.” To this day, traditionalists proclaim and progressives lament the move as the papal suppression of a new liberal Catholicism in the United States. It is time to reconsider Americanism. Testem Benevolentiae (1899) and the controversy surrounding it turned out to be the prologue of a century of Catholic social thought leading up to Dignitatis Humanae (1965) and culminating in the papacy of John Paul II.

Indeed, the words of Jesuit-trained Pope Leo XIII have come to pass. The Constitution of the United States has been modeled to the principles of the Roman Catholic Church. This is the foundation of the American Empire’s coming fascist military dictator, martial law, Concordat with Rome and mass-execution of a mixed people having corrupted themselves and whose iniquity has come to the full.

The injustice of an absolutist, robbing people of their liberties and giving to them privileges in their stead, is not new. Nimrod, the Black antichrist of the Old Testament, had done this to the people of Babylon. We read:

“Though by setting up as king, Nimrod [now the Pope] invaded the patriarchal system, and abridged the liberties of mankind, yet he was held by many to have conferred benefits upon them, that amply indemnified them for the loss of their liberties, and covered him with glory and renown. . . he was the first that abridged the liberties of mankind as the grand ‘Emancipator!’ ” [Rome used President Andrew Johnson to this end!] {23}

The “New Republic” in a “New Era” deserves a “New Name.” From now on the United States will be called “Fourteenth Amendment America,” “the American Empire” or “the Holy Roman American Empire” composed of “the Union of American/Soviet Socialist Republics”

....

From this time forward, we, the American people, both White and Black, as well as Oriental, would never go to war with England again. But rather, we would be brainwashed and incited to fight alongside of our royalist English foe in World War I and World War II—the Jesuit General’s Second Thirty Years’ War.

World flight in 1937

Amelia Earhart standing in front of the Lockheed Electra in which she disappeared in July 1937

Purdue University established the Amelia Earhart Fund for Aeronautical Research and gave $50,000 (equivalent to $1,160,000 in 2025) to fund the purchase of a Lockheed Electra 10E airplane.[141] In July 1936, Lockheed Aircraft Company built the airplane, which was fitted with extra fuel tanks and other extensive modifications.[75] Earhart dubbed the twin-engine monoplane her "flying laboratory". The plane was built at Lockheed's plant in Burbank, California, and after delivery, it was hangared at the nearby Mantz's United Air Services.[142]

Earhart chose Harry MANNING as her navigator; he had been the captain of the President Roosevelt, the ship that had transported Earhart from Europe in 1928.[141] Manning was also a pilot and a skilled radio operator who knew Morse code.[143]

Through contacts in the Los Angeles aviation community, Fred Noonan was chosen as a second navigator, because there were significant additional factors that had to be dealt with while using celestial navigation for aircraft.[146][147] Noonan, a licensed ship's captain, was experienced in both marine and flight navigation; he had recently left Pan American World Airways (Pan Am), where he established most of the company's China Clipper seaplane routes across the Pacific. Noonan had also been responsible for training Pan American's navigators to fly the route between San Francisco and Manila.[148] Under the original plans, Noonan would navigate from Hawaii to Howland Island—a difficult portion of the flight—then MANNING would continue with Earhart to Australia, and she would proceed on her own for the remainder of the project.[citation needed]

mars

The name Mars originates from the Roman god of war, Mārs, whose name likely evolved from the earlier Latin form Māvors (pre-75 BCE).

All that remains of the former Benedictine Abbey of Montmartre, this church dates back to the 12th century and is one of the oldest in Paris, though it has been much restored. Built atop a Roman temple to Mars, it was witness to the founding of the Jesuits in 1534, who met in the crypt under the guidance of Ignatius of Loyola.

Some say that the name Montmartre is derived from ‘Mons Martis’ (Latin for Mount of Mars); others prefer the Christian ‘Mont Martyr’ (Mount of the Martyr), a reference to the 3rd-century St Denis, who, according to legend, walked across Montmartre and on to the site of today’s Basilique de St-Denis after having been beheaded by Roman priests.

Chapter 19 "Exposed (Again): 1260 Years of World Domination

Codeword Barbelon book 2

by P.D. Stuart

Before the discoveries of the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Dagobert's assassination was

regarded as the end of the Merovingian dynasty. At least this is what the Catholic Church wanted the world to believe. In its place in 754 A.D. Rome established the Carolingian dynasty with Pepin II. The name "Carolingian" derives from Charles Martel, grandfather of Charlemagne, the first designated "Holy Roman Emperor." This title, by virtue of the pact with Clovis three centuries before, should have been reserved exclusively for the Merovingians.

The authors of Holy Blood discovered, however, that Dagobert's son (Sigisbert IV) by his second

wife had survived. His sister had rescued him and smuggled him southward to the domain of his mother, the Visigoth princess Giselle de Razes. Arriving in the Lanquedoc (southern France) in 681 A.D., he shortly thereafter inherited his uncle's titles - Duke of Razes and Count of Rhedae.

Sigisbert also adopted the surname "Plant-Ard" (subsequently Plantard), which means "ardently

flowering shoot" of the Merovingian vine. Under this name, and under the titles acquired from his uncle, he perpetuated his lineage. By 886 A.D. one branch of that lineage culminated in a certain Bernard Plantavelu (which name is a derivative of Plant-Ard or Plantard), whose son became the first Duke of Aquitaine.18

Switzerland - The Oligarchy Strongbox

During the course of nine months, from September 1814 to June 1815, the crowned heads and

their renowned diplomats had redrawn the map of Europe. They were not, however, secure in

what they had accomplished. Although they scorned the theories of democratic government and

opposed the doctrines of national self-determination, they feared the principles of the French

Revolution. Not only had the Revolution endangered their sovereignty, it had compromised their

wealth as well. The final agenda at the Congress was to remedy that problem.

The House of Rothschild had in the past played a significant role in the transport and protection

of royalty's wealth, but in 1815 their banks were not in neutral nations. A nonpartisan location

was needed to satisfy all parties. Austria was not acceptable. Moreover, the Merovingians were

insecure in their remote headquarters in Vienna. Should the Templar Republicans revive,

territory closer to the French border was more desirable for intelligence gathering. Switzerland

had proven its strategic worth earlier. When the Big Four were closing in on Napoleon,

Metternich had shifted Austrian imperial headquarters from Vienna to Freiburg, Switzerland, to

better organize at close range his defense against the Corsican.66 Hence, the decision was made at

the Congress of Vienna to create Switzerland as a bank with an army attached.67 Should the

revolutions ever again regain momentum, and royalty be exiled from their respective lands,

neutral Switzerland would protect them, as well as supply them with ample funds to live several

lifetimes in luxury.

England, not hampered by the fears of the Venetian oligarchy and determined to safeguard her

commercial and colonial interests, was fully agreed to ratify the neutrality of Switzerland. Before

any financial moves were made, however, London required Swiss Grand Orients closed and

replaced with Swiss Grand Lodges with English obedience. Only then would England cooperate.

In Paris on November 20, 1815, Switzerland's neutrality was guaranteed by France, Austria,

Great Britain, Portugal, Prussia, Sweden, and Russia. A century later, in 1919, at the Treaty of

Versailles, neutrality was again confirmed. In 1920 the League of Nations acknowledged

Switzerland as "conditioned by a centuries-old tradition explicitly incorporated in international

law."68 The tradition of Swiss neutrality was again upheld from 1935 to 1945 - even while war

raged around its borders.

The Congress of Vienna adjourned on June 18, 1815. Two days earlier Napoleon had been

defeated at Waterloo. Over the next few decades the oligarchy's Grail bloodline moved their

financial headquarters from Vienna to Zurich, Switzerland. Immediately they went to work

absorbing the French Grand Orient Lodges, placing them under English Masonic obedience.

Thirty-second degree Mason A.E. Waite, in A New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, gives us a

century of history concerning the Masonic maneuvers in Switzerland. He reports that Swiss

Freemasonry was founded by the British as early as 1736. In 1775 the Swiss lodges transferred

their allegiance from English Masonry to the German Strict Observance. Under Napoleon the

269

French Grand Orient invaded Switzerland, and a certain number of existing lodges came under

its obedience. Geneva was ceded to France during the wars of Napoleon, and Swiss Masonry

then became an appendage of the French Grand Orient. In 1818, as demanded by London,

English Masonic obedience began to replace the Grand Orients, except in Geneva where the

aristocracy permitted one Grand Orient Lodge to function.69

By 1844 fourteen lodges in Switzerland had united under English obedience, agreed to a Grand

Lodge Constitution, and organized the Grand Lodge Alpina in Zurich.70 Within a few decades

Alpina headquarters moved to Geneva, next to its Grand Orient rival. From these two lodges,

both within a neutral nation, both headquartered in the same city, Scarlet and the Beast would

continue to plot their separate intrigues to dominate the world. From Geneva both the right wing

and the left wing revolutions would spread over the face of the earth. In Geneva both would unite

a century later.

"The 37's" is the first episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. The episode aired August 28, 1995, on UPN. Directed by James L. Conway, it was written by producers Jeri Taylor and Brannon Braga. It was originally intended to be a two-part episode to bridge between the first and second seasons, and was subsequently re-written to be a single part. Due to late changes to the final act of the episode, special effects shots of the settlers' cities could not be completed, with which Braga and series creator Michael Piller were unhappy.

Plot

On stardate 48975.1, the crew of Voyager follows an ancient SOS to a Class L planet whose atmospheric interference requires landing the ship to investigate. On the surface, Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) leads an away team to discover the source of the transmission: a Lockheed Model 10 Electra[2] with an alien generator added to sustain the SOS. Joining Commander Chakotay's (Robert Beltran) team, the crew finds a "cryostasis chamber" containing eight humans preserved since the 1930s, including Amelia Earhart (Sharon Lawrence) and her navigator, Fred Noonan (David Graf).[3]

AI Overview

Godfrey and Geoffrey are distinct anglicized variants of the same Germanic name, generally meaning "God's peace" or "territory/pledge of peace". Rooted in Old High German (Godafrid/Gaufrid), both were introduced to England by Normans, with Godfrey retaining closer ties to Gottfried ("God's peace") and Geoffrey (via Old French Geoffroi) sharing roots.

Momcozy

Relationship: While sharing a common ancestor, Geoffrey became a distinct name in England, heavily used by the aristocracy, and spawned variants like Jeffrey, Geoff, and Jeff.

Godfrey of Bouillon[a] (c. 1060 – 18 July 1100) was a preeminent leader of the First Crusade, and the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1099 to 1100.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_of_Bouillon

By the time of the success of the First Crusade in 1099, the Hospital of St John was already well known among pilgrims and was regarded as a separate organization from the monastery of St Mary. The monastic brothers at the hospital saw it as their duty to provide the best possible treatment to the poor. They were given an endowment by Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the First Crusade, before he died in 1100.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller

The Priory of Sion is an initiatory Order of chivalry, founded on July 15 1099 in Jerusalem, by Godfrey of Bouillon, at the Abbey "Our Lady of Mount Sion" as "Order of our Lady of Mount Sion."

http://www.prieure-de-sion.com/

The Order – A Brief History

The origins of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem date back to the First Crusade, when its leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, liberated Jerusalem. As part of his operations to organize the religious, military and public bodies of the territories newly freed from Muslim control, he founded the Order of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. According to accounts of the Crusades, in 1103 the first King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, assumed the leadership of this canonical order, and reserved the right for himself and his successors, as agents of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, to appoint Knights to it, should the Patriarch be absent or unable to do so.

https://eohsjeastern.org/a-brief-history/

The equites (/ˈɛkwɪtiːz/; lit. 'horse' or 'cavalrymen', though sometimes referred to as "knights" in English) constituted the second of the property/social-based classes of ancient Rome, ranking below the senatorial class. A member of the equestrian order was known as an eques (Latin: [ˈɛ.kʷɛs]).

1 I am the rose of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

2 Like a lily among the thorns, so is my [a]love among the daughters.

3 [b]Like the apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my well-beloved among the sons of men: under his shadow had I delight, and sat down: and his fruit was sweet unto my mouth.

4 He brought me into the wine cellar, and love was his banner over me.

5 Stay me with flagons, and comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

6 His left hand is under mine head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

7 [c]I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor waken my love, until she please.

8 [d]It is the voice of my well-beloved: behold, he cometh leaping by the mountains, and skipping by the hills.

9 My well-beloved is like a roe, or a young hart: lo, he [e]standeth behind our wall, looking forth of the windows, showing himself through the [f]grates.

10 My well-beloved spake and said unto me, Arise, my love, my fair one, and come thy way.

11 For behold, [g]winter is past: the rain is changed, and is gone away.

12 The flowers appear in the earth: the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

13 The fig tree hath brought forth her young figs: and the vines with their small grapes have cast a savor: arise my love, my fair one, and come away.

14 My dove, that art in the [h]holes of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, show me thy sight, let me hear thy voice: for thy voice is sweet, and thy sight comely.

15 Take us the foxes, the [i]little foxes, which destroy the vines: for our vines have small grapes.

16 My well-beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies,

17 Until the daybreak, and the shadows flee away: return, my well-beloved, and be like a [j]roe, or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena (extrasensory perception, telepathy, teleportation, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis (also called telekinesis), and psychometry) and other paranormal claims, for example, those related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc.[1] Criticized as being a pseudoscience, the majority of mainstream scientists reject it.[2][3][4] Parapsychology has been criticized for continuing investigation despite being unable to provide reproducible evidence for the existence of any psychic phenomena after more than a century of research.[1][5][6]

Parapsychology research rarely appears in mainstream scientific journals; a few niche journals publish most papers about parapsychology.[7]

Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves

Aug 5, 1974

Apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves. The interference waveform which is representative of the brain wave activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then displayed for visual viewing and routed to a computer for further processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also can be used to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the brain to effect a desired change in electrical activity therein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Medical science has found brain waves to be a useful barometer of organic functions. Measurements of electrical activity in the brain have been instrumental in detecting physical and psychic disorder, measuring stress, determining sleep patterns, and monitoring body metabolism.

The present art for measurement of brain waves employs electroencephalographs including probes with sensors which are attached to the skull of the subject under study at points proximate to the regions of the brain being monitored. Electrical contact between the sensors and apparatus employed to process the detected brain waves is maintained by a plurality of wires extending from the sensors to the apparatus. The necessity for physically attaching the measuring apparatus to the subject imposes several limitations on the measurement process. The subject may experience discomfort, particulary if the measurements are to be made over extended periods of time. His bodily movements are restricted and he is generally confined to the immediate vicinity of the measuring apparatus. Furthermore, measurements cannot be made while the subject is conscious without his awareness. The comprehensiveness of the measurements is also limited since the finite number of probes employed to monitor local regions of brain wave activity do not permit observation of the total brain wave profile in a single test.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to apparatus and a method for monitoring brain waves wherein all components of the apparatus employed are remote from the test subject. More specifically, high frequency transmitters are operated to radiate electromagnetic energy of different frequencies through antennas which are capable of scanning the entire brain of the test subject or any desired region thereof. The signals of different frequencies penetrate the skull of the subject and impinge upon the brain where they mix to yield an interference wave modulated by radiations from the brain's natural electrical activity. The modulated interference wave is re-transmitted by the brain and received by an antenna at a remote station where it is demodulated, and processed to provide a profile of the suject's brain waves. In addition to passively monitoring his brain waves, the subject's neurological processes may be affected by transmitting to his brain, through a transmitter, compensating signals. The latter signals can be derived from the received and processed brain waves.

How 'Positive Thinking' Helped Propel Trump To The Presidency

January 19, 20174:27 PM ET

Heard on All Things Considered

Headshot of Tamara Keith

Tamara Keith

A book, The Power of Positive Thinking, and the pastor who wrote it had a tremendous influence on Donald Trump growing up. NPR takes a look at how the philosophy will influence him as president.

ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:

At a pre-inaugural luncheon today, President-elect Donald Trump bragged about his cabinet. He said they'll have, by far, the highest IQ of any cabinet ever assembled. That sort of boast is nothing new for Trump. Throughout the campaign, he regularly made statements that were exaggerations, unprovable or plainly untrue. There will be much time in the years ahead to fact-check President Trump. Today, NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith looks at what may have inspired Trump's bravado and helped him reach the highest office in the land.

Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminati (1776), considered naming his secret society the "Order of Bees" (Bienenorden) around 1778–1779, symbolizing industriousness and the collection of knowledge. While ultimately adopting "Illuminati," he frequently used bee metaphors, referencing their collective work, structure, and hive-like pursuit of enlightenment.

In the first of all migrations, Adam and Eve were accompanied and guided by the bees as they moved from the Garden into the dark outer world.41 The bees brought with them “the primordial creative divine power”;42 their honey, “made by the bees of Paradise,” is the food of heaven.43 When our first ancestors were allowed to bring some of their original blessings from Eden with them, Adam bore the olive, vine, date, pomegranate, and nard, but to Eve was given the greatest blessing, for she was accompanied by her friends from the Garden with their honey44—the busy bees whose beneficent labors among the plants and trees made it possible to renew the verdure of the former world in their new one.

While the Bible does not explicitly mention Adam and Eve using fire in Eden, apocryphal texts like the First Book of Adam and Eve depict them encountering fire (and fearing it) after leaving the garden. Post-Fall, fire is associated with sacrifice (Cain and Abel) and potential, as shown in [Genesis 4], while some traditions interpret fire as a tool known soon after the fall.

The equation of Ahasuerus (Ezra 4:6) with Xerxes presupposes that vv. 6-23 of that ch. are somewhat parenthetical, providing further information on the topic of opposition from a later period. The famous remains at Persepolis were primarily his work. Found there was a historical inscr. by Xerxes, listing the various nations subject to him, thus confirming the statement in Esther 1:1 that he ruled “from India to Ethiopia.”

The last Zoroastrian king of Persia (Sasanian Empire) who is linked to the historical myths of the Illuminati is Yazdegerd III (reigned 632–651 A.D.), who died in 651 A.D..

Key Connections to the Illuminati:

Mythical Origins: Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Bavarian Illuminati in 1776, claimed in his invented history of the order that it originated with the last Zoroastrian King of Persia.

Misidentification: While Weishaupt often referred to the "last" king (Yazdegerd III), he sometimes confused him with Yadzegerd II, who reigned earlier in the 5th century.

Adam is a fictional character in the fourth season of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, serving as that season's primary antagonists (or "Big Bad").

Key Facts About the Odd Fellows and Skeletons:

Purpose: The skeletons were used in rituals to teach about the equality of all people in death and the importance of a well-lived life, serving as a powerful symbol of mortality.

Rituals: Initiates were often blindfolded ("hoodwinked") and brought into a dark room to face a skeleton when the blindfold was lifted, according to insights shared on platforms like TikTok/The Bone Museum.

"Odd Fellow Skeletons": Due to their widespread use in the 19th and early 20th centuries, many skeletons have been discovered during renovations of former Odd Fellow lodges.

Symbolism: Similar to Freemasons, the Odd Fellows, a separate organization, used skulls and bones not out of dark morbidity, but as a reminder to focus on charity, friendship, and morality.

The Impressive Odd Fellow

Can you ever have too many badges, ribbons, or medals? Not according to this particularly proud and active Odd Fellow. We recently acquired this fantastic cabinet card featuring a sepia-toned portrait of an unidentified I.O.O.F. member wearing more than twenty badges, medals, and ribbons. The card was printed between 1883 and 1908 by the Osborn Company in Binghamton, New York.

Cabinet cards, introduced in the 1860s, were similar to carte-de-visites (for more on CDVs read this post). They served as a popular alternative to cased photographs like daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes. Cabinet card photos measured approximately four inches by six inches and were mounted onto card stock. The cards usually featured a photographer’s decorative stamp, name, and location. The Osborn Company was a family-run photography business owned by Emerson Osbourne from about 1883 to 1908 in Binghamton.

This particular photo caught our eye because many fraternal portrait cabinet cards feature a member wearing regalia with only one or two medals or ribbons. The ribbons commemorate various Odd Fellows events and field days in New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. There is a ribbon that reads “Calumet 62” and another that reads “Canton Scranton No. 4.” There are records of an active Calumet Lodge No. 62 in Binghamton, New York, from the mid-1860s to the late 1940s. There are also local Pennsylvania newspapers from the late 1880s that reference an I.O.O.F. Canton Scranton No. 4 group.

These findings lead us to believe that this proud unidentified Odd Fellow was most likely a member of these two lodges and perhaps others.

Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library

https://www.srmml.org/the-impressive-odd-fellow/

In 1754, near Paris, Chevalier de Bonneville established the Chapter of Clermont. The Chapter resided in the College of Jesuits of Clermont, hence the name. It is said to have been created to honor the Duc de Clermont, then Grand Master of the English Grand Lodge of France.

The Chapter of Clermont was a “Chapter of the Advanced Degrees” and initially entailed six degrees and was later extended to 25 known degrees. The six initial degrees were 1˚, 2˚ and 3˚ St John’s Masonry, 4˚ Knight of the Eagle, 5˚ Illustrious Knight or Templar, 6˚ Sublime Illustrious Knight.

Interestingly enough historically, prior to the time of the Rite’s creation, James II had been in residence at Clermont in exile from Britain from 1688 to his death in 1701. As noted by German Masonic historian, Lenning… “whilst in exile, James II residing at the Jesuit College of Clermont in France, allowed his closest associates to fabricate certain degrees in order to extend their political views.” Lenning believed this to have been an attempt on the part of James and his associates to regain control of the British throne for the House of Stuart. If Lenning is right, this places the origins of the “Rite of Perfection” in the hands of James II and the Jacobite (Stuart) Freemasons who at the time were in exile from Great Britain throughout France and Italy. Lenning also contends that these degrees were introduced into French Freemasonry under the name of the Clermont System.

James II died in exile in 1701. His son James III is said to have continued his father’s Masonic legacy and later created further higher degrees.

Perhaps James II saw in the Jesuit morality plays of the College of Clermont a vessel for passing on a set of moral lessons. Some of the world’s greatest playwrights had emerged from Clermont. Jesuit tutelage had previously produced great writers such as Lope de Vega, Moliere, Racine, and the Corneille brothers. Ensconced in exile, I believe James II did find the inspiration and the training to help produce what would later become the first six degrees. From out of the darkness… comes light.

The History and Legend of Scottish Rite Origins

https://web.archive.org/web/20190615041607/http://www.traversecityscottishrite.com/scottish-rite-history.html

Odo (French: Eudes; c. 857 – 1 January 898), also known as Odo of Paris, was King of West Francia from 888 to 898. He was the first king from the Robertian dynasty, the parent house of the House of Capet. Before assuming the kingship, Odo was the Count of Paris, since 882. His reign marked the definitive separation of West Francia from the Carolingian Empire, which would never be reunited.[2][3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_of_France

The Robertians (sometimes called the Robertines in modern scholarship) are a proposed Frankish noble family and royal dynasty, whose members were ancestors of the Capetian dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of France and several other countries (currently Spain and Luxembourg). Prominent Robertian ancestors of the Capetian dynasty appear in historical records as powerful nobles serving under various rulers of the Carolingian dynasty, mainly in West Francia, which later became France. Most notable of them were: the eponymous count Robert the Strong (d. 866) and his sons, West Frankish kings Odo (888–898) and Robert I (922–923), whose son – duke Hugh the Great was father to the first Capetian king Hugh Capet (987–996).

Origin

The ancestry of count Robert the Strong (d. 866) is not certain, and it has been the subject of various genealogical assumptions and historical studies.[1] Robert's origins remain unclear, but medieval records hint at an origin in Austrasia, or East Francia (in present-day Germany), an area then still also ruled by the Carolingians. In particular, Regino of Prüm (died 915) states that Robert the Strong's son Odo was said to be a relative (nepos) of a Count Meingaud, count of an area near Worms, who died in 892, and there are indications that Maingaud's family used the names Robert and Odo.

The first German lodge was estab lished at Hamburg on December 6, 1737. On August 14, 1738, this lodge initiated him who was afterwards Frederick the Great. Frederick organized in his cas tle private lodge which became the starting point of Freemasonry in Prus sia, as it was removed to Berlin in 1740, and from thence the first German Grand Lodge sprung. There was lodge which, according to Light, was known to meet at King's Chapel in Boston, Mass., U. S. A., in 1720; and there was an account in news papers there of Masonic activities on May 25, 1727, ten years before there was lodge in Germany, and the first warrant from England to Prov. G. M. Henry Price was dated July 30. 1733. The National Mother Grand Lodge, "The Three Globes," at Berlin, now has 1^1 lodges and 17,400 members. The National Grand Lodge of German Ma sons at Berlin now has 147 lodges and 16,303 members. The Grand Lodge of Prussia, "Royal York of Friendship," at Berlin, has 81 lodges and 8,376 mem bers.

Hence, our poverty, chastity, and obedience ought visibly and efficaciously to bear witness to this attitude, whereby we proclaim the evangelical possibility of a certain communion among men and women that is a foretaste of the future kingdom of God.[1]

§2. Our religious vows, while binding us, also set us FREE:

FREE, by our vow of poverty, to share the life of the poor and to use whatever resources we may have, not for our own security and comfort, but for service;

FREE, by our vow of chastity, to be men for others, in friendship and communion with all, but especially with those who share our mission of service;

Himmler used the Jesuits as the model for the SS, since he found they had the core elements of absolute obedience and the cult of the organisation.[59][60] Hitler is said to have called Himmler "my Ignatius of Loyola".[59] As an order, the SS needed a coherent doctrine that would set it apart.[61]

Artaxerxes I (465–424 BC) was a Persian king who played a pivotal role in the post-exilic restoration of the Jews. He supported them by commissioning Ezra the scribe to reorganize civil and religious affairs (c. 458 BC) and allowing Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls (c. 445 BC), contributing to the strengthening of Jewish life.

The Alans (Latin: Alani) were an ancient and medieval Iranic nomadic pastoral people who migrated to what is today the North Caucasus;[1][2][3][4][5] some continued on to Europe and later North Africa. They are generally regarded as part of the Sarmatians, and possibly related to the Massagetae.[6] Modern historians have connected the Alans with the Central Asian Yancai of Chinese sources and with the Aorsi of Roman sources.[7] Having migrated westwards and becoming dominant among the Sarmatians on the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the Alans are mentioned by Roman sources in the 1st century CE.[1][2]

Alan fitz Flaad (c. 1060 – after 1120) was a Breton knight, probably recruited as a mercenary by Henry I of England in his conflicts with his brothers.[1]

He is now noted as the progenitor of the FitzAlan family, the Earls of Arundel (1267–1580), and the House of Stuart,[6] although his family connections were long a matter of conjecture and controversy.

"Howard" vs. "Hugo"

While you asked about "Howard," it is worth noting that the Germanic root hug, meaning "mind, thought, or spirit," is shared with the name Hugo. However, Howard specifically means "high guardian" (referencing protection), while Hugo means "thinker" or "clever" (referencing intellect).

Hugo de Paganis, commonly known in French as Hugues de Payens or Payns (French: [yɡ də pɛ̃]; c. 1070 – 24 May 1136), was the co-founder and first Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

Jews and the Knights Templar – a complex relationship

https://thetemplarknight.com/2011/09/18/jews-knights-templar-relationship/

The Knight’s Templar was expelled from the Papacy in 1312 by Pope Clement V and Philip IV of France. The few Templars who escaped went to the powerful kingdom of Aragon and became known as the Order of the Calatrava, who would later align with the the Montessa. In 1534, a Spanish nobleman by the name of Ignatius Loyola would revive the Templars and call them the "Society of Jesus." Loyola was a Templar, and a member of a secret society called the "Alumbrados." The third Superior General and co-founder of the order was Francis Borgia. The Borgia bloodline is part of the notorious "Black Nobility" which dates back to the ancient Ptolemaic period in history.

How the Vatican created Islam. The astonishing story from an ex-Jesuit priest, Alberto Rivera,

which was told to him by Cardinal Bea while he was at the Vatican.

By Alberto Rivera | cloakanddagger.de

Article from: http://www.davidicke.com/content/view/744/48/. From "The Prophet":

http://www.choosinglife.net/Islam.htm (website disabled)

"The Destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem" by Nicolas Poussin (1637)

This information came from Alberto Rivera, former Jesuit priest after his conversion to

Protestant Christianity. It is excerpted from "The Prophet," published by Chick Publications, PO

Box 661, Chino CA 91708. Since its publication, after several unsuccessful attempts on his life,

he died suddenly from food poisoning. His testimony should not be silenced. Dr. Rivera speaks

to us still ...

"What I'm going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in

the Vatican when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction. A

Jesuit cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately

the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third

century. Because of its religious history and its strategic location,

the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure. A scheme had to

be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city.

"The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael. The

poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans ever devised by the powers of darkness.

Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy

opposition. Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted the believers in Christ to stop

their spread. But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General

Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was the heart of Jewish

worship...in fulfillment of Christ's prophecy in Matthew 24:2.

"On this holy placed today where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque stands

as Islam's second most holy place. Sweeping changes were in the wind. Corruption, apathy,

greed, cruelty, perversion and rebellion were eating at the Roman Empire, and it was ready to

collapse. The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives

for the gospel of Christ.

"The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit "Christian" religion to

destroy the work of God. The solution was in Rome. Their religion had come from ancient

Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift. This didn't happen overnight, but began in the writings

of the 'early church fathers'.

"It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape. The statue of Jupiter in

Rome was eventually called St. Peter, and the statue of Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary.

The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called 'Vaticanus', the place of

the diving serpent where the Satanic temple of Janus stood.

"The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism, called 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the

Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth'- Revelation 17:5. She was raised up to block

the gospel, slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars and make the nations

drunk with the wine of her fornication as we will see.

"Three major religions have one thing in common - each has a holy place where they look for

guidance. Roman Catholicism looks to the Vatican as the Holy City. The Jews look to the wailing

wall in Jerusalem, and the Muslims look to Mecca as their Holy City. Each group believes that

they receive certain types of blessings for the rest of their lives for visiting their holy place. In

the beginning, Arab visitors would bring gifts to the 'House of God', and the keepers of the

Kaaba were gracious to all who came. Some brought their idols and, not wanting to offend these

people, their idols were placed inside the sanctuary. It is said that the Jews looked upon the

Kaaba as an outlying tabernacle of the Lord with veneration until it became polluted with idols.

The Kaaba, Mecca. Image from: webislam.com

"In a tribal contention over a well(Zamzam) the treasure of the Kaaba and the offerings that

pilgrims had given were dumped down the well and it was filled with sand - it disappeared.

Many years later Adb Al-Muttalib was given visions telling him where to find the well and its

treasure. He became the hero of Mecca, and he was destined to become the grandfather of

Muhammad. Before this time, Augustine became the bishop of North Africa and was effective in

winning Arabs to Roman Catholicism, including whole tribes. It was among these Arab converts

to Catholicism that the concept of looking for an Arab prophet developed.

"Muhammad's father died from illness and sons born to great Arab families in places like Mecca

were sent into the desert to be suckled and weaned and spend some of their childhood with

Bedouin tribes for training and to avoid the plagues in the cities.

"After his mother and grandfather also died, Muhammad was with his uncle when a Roman

Catholic monk learned of his identity and said, "Take your brother's son back to his country and

guard him against the Jews, for by god, if they see him and know of him that which I know, they

will construe evil against him. Great things are in store for this brother's son of yours."

"The Roman Catholic monk had fanned the flames for future Jewish persecutions at the hands of

the followers of Muhammad. The Vatican desperately wanted Jerusalem because of its religious

significance, but was blocked by the Jews.

"Another problem was the true Christians in North Africa who preached the gospel. Roman

Catholicism was growing in power, but would not tolerate opposition. Somehow the Vatican had

to create a weapon to eliminate both the Jews and the true Christian believers who refused to

accept Roman Catholicism. Lookng to North Africa, they saw the multitudes of Arabs as a

source of manpower to do their dirty work. Some Arabs had become Roman Catholic, and could

be used in reporting information to leaders in Rome. Others were used in an underground spy

network to carry out Rome's master plan to control the great multitudes of Arabs who rejected

Catholicism. When 'St Augustine' appeared on the scene, he knew what was going on. His

monasteries served as bases to seek out and destroy Bible manuscripts owned by the true

Christians.

"The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs, someone they could raise up as a great

leader, a man with charisma whom they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic

Arabs behind him, creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.

In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told us this story:

'A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope played a tremendous part in this

drama. She was a widow named Khadijah. She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a

convent, but was given an assignment. She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used

by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael.

Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah,, who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic and the

Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad's advisor. He had tremendous influence on

Muhammad.

'Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training. Muhammad studied the

works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his "great calling." The Vatican had Catholic

Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the

people and be the chosen one of their God.

'While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the

only true Christians were Roman Catholic. He was taught that others calling themselves

Christians were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed. Many Muslims believe this.

'Muhammad began receiving "divine revelations" and his wife's Catholic cousin Waraquah

helped interpret them. From this came the Koran. In the fifth year of Muhammad's mission,

persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.

'Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia where Negus, the Roman Catholic king

accepted them because Muhammad's views on the virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic

doctrine. These Muslims received protection from Catholic kings because of Muhammad's

revelations.

'Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols. History proves that

before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon-god who was

married to the sun-god. They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshipped throughout the

Arab world as "Daughters of Allah" An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in 1950's shows

Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.

'Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told, "You are the messenger of Allah."

This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages. By the time Muhammad

died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the

name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad.

'Some of Muhammad's writings were placed in the Koran, others were never published. They are

now in the hands of high ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.'

"When Cardinal Bea shared with us in the Vatican, he said, these writings are guarded because

they contain information that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam. Both sides have so much

information on each other, that if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a

disaster for both religions.

"In their "holy" book, the Koran, Christ is regarded as only a prophet. If the pope was His

representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God. This caused the followers of

Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another "holy man."

"The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and

conquer the nations of North Africa. The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive

Islamic armies in exchange for three favors:

1. Eliminate the Jews and Christians (true believers, which they called infidels).

2. Protect the Augustinian Monks and Roman Catholics.

3. Conquer Jerusalem for "His Holiness" in the Vatican.

"As time went by, the power of Islam became tremendous - Jews and true Christians were

slaughtered, and Jerusalem fell into their hands. Roman Catholics were never attacked, nor were

their shrines, during this time. But when the pope asked for Jerusalem, he was surprised at their

denial! The Arab generals had such military success that they could not be intimidated by the

pope - nothing could stand in the way of their own plan.

"Under Waraquah's direction, Muhammad wrote that Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice.

The Bible says that Isaac was the sacrifice, but Muhammad removed Isaac's name and inserted

Ishmael's name. As a result of this and Muhammad's vision, the faithful Muslims built a mosque,

the Dome of the Rock, in Ishmael's honor on the site of the Jewish temple that was destroyed in

70 AD. This made Jerusalem the 2nd most holy place in the Islam faith. How could they give

such a sacred shrine to the pope without causing a revolt?

Image from: letsgo.com

"The pope realized what they had created was out of control when he heard they were calling

"His Holiness" an infidel. The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah

and now they turned toward Europe. Islamic ambassadors approached the pope and asked for

papal bulls to give them permission to invade European countries.

"The Vatican was outraged; war was inevitable. Temporal power and control of the world was

considered the basic right of the pope. He wouldn't think of sharing it with those whom he

considered heathens.

"The pope raised up his armies and called them crusades to hold back the children of Ishmael

from grabbing Catholic Europe. The crusades lasted centuries and Jerusalem slipped out of the

pope's hands.

"Turkey fell and Spain and Portugal were invaded by Islamic forces. In Portugal, they called a

mountain village "Fatima" in honor of Muhammad's daughter, never dreaming it would become

world famous.

"Years later when the Muslim armies were poised on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, to

invade Italy, there was a serious problem. The Islamic generals realized they were too far

extended. It was time for peace talks. One of the negotiators was Francis of Assisi.

"As a result, the Muslims were allowed to occupy Turkey in a "Christian" world, and the

Catholics were allowed to occupy Lebanon in the Arab world. It was also agreed that the

Muslims could build mosques in Catholic countries without interference as long as Roman

Catholicism could flourish Arab countries.

"Cardinal Bea told us in Vatican briefings that both the Muslims and Roman Catholics agreed to

block and destroy the efforts of their common enemy, Bible-believing Christianm missionaries.

Through these concordats, Satan blocked the children of Ishmael from a knowledge of Scripture

and the truth.

"A light control was kept on Muslims from the Ayatollah down through the Islamic priests, nuns

and monks. The Vatican also engineers a campaign of hatred between the Muslim Arabs and the

Jews. Before this, they had co-existed peacefully.

"The Islamic community looks on the Bible-believing missionary as a devil who brings poison to

the children of Allah. This explains years of ministry in those countries with little results.

"The next plan was to control Islam. In 1910, Portugal was going

Socialistic. Red flags were appearing and the Catholic Church was

facing a major problem. Increasing numbers were against the

church.

"The Jesuits wanted Russia involved, and the location of this vision

at Fatima could play a key part in pulling Islam to the Mother

Church.

"In 1917, the Virgin appeared in Fatima. "The Mother of God" was

a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds. As a result, the

Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat.

"Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of

Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they

could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public

relations to the Muslim world. The Arabs thought they were

honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe.

"As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the

Orthodox religion and make Russia Roman Catholic." A few years after he lost World war II,

Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phoney dancing sun vision to keep Fatima in the news.

It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it.

"Not surprisingly, Pope Pius was the only one to see this vision.

As a result, a group of followers has grown into a Blue Army

world-wide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to

die for the blessed virgin.

"But we haven't seen anything yet. The Jesuits have their Virgin

Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and

major appearance in the U.S.

"What has this got to do with Islam? Note Bishop Sheen's

statement: "Our Lady's appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the

world's 350 million Muslims. After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she "is the

most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary."

"He believed that the Virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a

pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ's virgin birth, will come to believe in His divinity.

"Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were

enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India, and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are

now coming into the Roman Catholic Church."

Gavrilo Princip (Serbian Cyrillic: Гаврило Принцип, pronounced [ɡǎʋrilo prǐnt͡sip]; 25 July 1894 – 28 April 1918) was a Bosnian Serb student who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. The assassination set off the July Crisis, a series of events that within one month led to the outbreak of World War I.

Princip was born in western Bosnia to a poor Serb family. Aged 13, he was sent to Sarajevo, the capital of Austrian-occupied Bosnia, to study at the Merchants' School. He later transferred to the gymnasium, where he became politically aware. In 1911, he joined Young Bosnia, a secret local society aiming to free Bosnia from Austrian rule and achieve the unification of the South Slavs. After attending anti-Austrian demonstrations in Sarajevo, he was expelled from school and walked to Belgrade, Serbia, to continue his education. During the First Balkan War, Princip traveled to Southern Serbia to volunteer with the Serbian army's irregular forces fighting against the Ottoman Empire but was rejected for being too small and weak.

In 1913, following the unexpected success of the Serbians in the war against the Ottomans, the Austrian military governor of Bosnia, Oskar Potiorek, declared a state of emergency, dissolved the parliament, imposed martial rule, and banned Serbian public, cultural, and educational societies. Inspired by assassination attempts against Imperial officials by Slavic nationalists and anarchists, Princip persuaded two other young Bosnians to join a plot to assassinate the heir to the Habsburg Empire during his announced visit to Sarajevo. The Black Hand, a Serbian secret society with ties to Serbian military intelligence, provided the conspirators with weapons and training before facilitating their re-entry into Bosnia.

On Sunday 28 June 1914, during the royal couple's visit to Sarajevo, the then-teenager Princip mortally wounded Franz Ferdinand and Sophie by firing a pistol into their convertible car. Princip was arrested immediately by Austro-Hungarian authorities and tried alongside 24 others, all Bosnians and thus Austro-Hungarian subjects. At his trial, Princip stated: "I am a Yugoslav nationalist, aiming for the unification of all Yugoslavs, and I do not care what form of state, but it must be free from Austria." Princip was spared the death penalty because of his age (19) and sentenced to twenty years in prison. He was imprisoned at the Terezín Fortress. The Serbian government itself did not inspire the assassination but the Austrian Foreign Office and Army used the murders as a reason for a preventive war which led directly to World War I.

Princip died on 28 April 1918 of tuberculosis, worsened by harsh prison conditions, that had already led to the amputation of his right arm. His legacy is viewed as controversial; many Serbs regard him as a hero who stood against colonial oppression and slavery, while Bosniaks and Croats frequently view him as a terrorist.

PARTICULAR AND DAILY EXAMEN

It contains in it three times, and two to examine oneself.

The first time is in the morning, immediately on rising, when one ought to

propose to guard himself with diligence against that particular sin or defect which

he wants to correct and amend.

The second time is after dinner, when one is to ask of God our Lord what one

wants, namely, grace to remember how many times he has fallen into that

particular sin or defect, and to amend himself in the future. Then let him make the

first Examen, asking account of his soul of that particular thing proposed, which he

wants to correct and amend. Let him go over hour by hour, or period by period,

commencing at the hour he rose, and continuing up to the hour and instant of the

present examen, and let him make in the first line of the G------- as many dots as

were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect. Then let him resolve

anew to amend himself up to the second Examen which he will make.

The third time: After supper, the second Examen will be made, in the same

way, hour by hour, commencing at the first Examen and continuing up to the

present (second) one, and let him make in the second line of the same G------- as

many dots as were the times he has fallen into that particular sin or defect.

FOUR ADDITIONS

FOLLOW TO RID ONESELF SOONER OF THAT PARTICULAR SIN OR DEFECT

First Addition. The first Addition is that each time one falls into that

particular sin or defect, let him put his hand on his breast, grieving for having

fallen: which can be done even in the presence of many, without their perceiving

what he is doing.

Second Addition. The second: As the first line of the G------- means the first

Examen, and the second line the second Examen, let him look at night if there is

amendment from the first line to the second, that is, from the first Examen to the

second.

Third Addition. The third: To compare the second day with the first; that is,

the two Examens of the present day with the other two Examens of the previous

day, and see if he has amended himself from one day to the other.

Fourth Addition. The fourth Addition: To compare one week with another,

and see if he has amended himself in the present week over the week past.

Note. It is to be noted that the first (large) G------- which follows means the

Sunday: the second (smaller), the Monday: the third, the Tuesday, and so on.

Although in the first 30 years of the existence of the Society of Jesus there were many

Jesuits who were conversos (Catholic-convert Jews and Muslims and their descendants), an anti-converso faction led to the Decree de genere (1593) which proclaimed that either Jewish or Muslim ancestry, no matter how distant, was an insurmountable impediment for admission to the Society of Jesus.[191]

In the Baal Cycle, Ba'al Hadad is challenged by and defeats Yam using two magical weapons (called "Driver" and "Chaser") made for him by Kothar-wa-Khasis. Afterward, with the help of Athirat and Anat, Ba'al persuades El to allow him a palace. El approves, and the palace is built by Kothar-wa-Khasis. After the palace is constructed, Ba'al gives forth a thunderous roar out of the palace window and challenges Mot. Mot enters through the window and swallows Ba'al, sending him to the underworld. With no one to give rain, there is a terrible drought in Ba'al's absence. The other deities, especially El and Anat, are distraught that Ba'al had been taken to the underworld. Anat goes to the underworld, attacks Mot with a knife, grinds him up into pieces, and scatters him far and wide. With Mot defeated, Ba'al is able to return and refresh the Earth with rain.[9]

The lotus, fleur-de-lis, and rose do not have the exact same meaning, but they are often grouped together as a "sacred trinity" of flowers that symbolize a deep connection to the divine, purity, and spiritual renewal. While they share overarching themes of purity and perfection, they are associated with different cultures, contexts, and specific meanings.

"Caucasian" originates from an 18th-century anthropological term coined by German scientist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, who falsely believed the Caucasus Mountains region was the birthplace of the white race. He termed "Caucasian" the most "beautiful" variety of humanity, creating a flawed classification system that, while scientifically obsolete, remains in use in the U.S. to describe people of European, Middle Eastern, or North African descent.

The German word for 10 is zehn. It is pronounced like "tsayn" or "tseh-n".

The Brahmajala Sutra has a list of ten major and forty-eight minor rules known as the Bodhisattva Precepts.[16] The Bodhisattva Precepts may be often called the "Brahma Net Precepts" (Chinese: 梵網戒; pinyin: Fànwǎng Jiè), particularly in Buddhist scholarship, although other sets of bodhisattva precepts may be found in other texts as well. Typically, in East Asian Mahayana traditions, only the 10 Major Precepts are considered the Bodhisattva Precepts.

The Gathas (/ˈɡɑːtəz, -tɑːz/)[1] are five hymns in the Avestan language from the Zoroastrian oral tradition of the Avesta. The oldest surviving text fragment dates from 1323 CE,[2] but they are believed by scholars to have been composed before 1000 BCE and passed down orally for centuries.[3][4] They are traditionally believed to have been composed by the prophet Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) himself. They form the core of the Zoroastrian liturgy (the Yasna). They are arranged in five different modes or metres.

The Romani people in Romania (often colloquially called Gypsies) are an ethnic group originating from Northern India who migrated to Europe around 1000–1,000 years ago. Romania has one of the largest Roma populations in Europe, with most settled into mainstream society. Their culture emphasizes family, tradition, and music.

AI Overview

The Visigoths were an Eastern Germanic people, likely originating from Scandinavia before migrating southeast through Eastern Europe, who emerged as a distinct group from the Goths. They were closely related to the Thervingi tribe, which settled near the Black Sea and Danube region in the 3rd century. Pushed by the Huns, they migrated into Roman territory in the late 4th century, establishing a kingdom that eventually encompassed Spain and southern Gaul.

The name Ormus also represents Sion's religion. Ormus was the name of an Egyptian sage and

mystic who was supposedly converted to Christianity in 46 A.D. In reality he was a gnostic adept of Alexandria, blending Christianity with Masdaism, which was the Greek-Roman form of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism was a modification of Brahamanism (now Hinduism) at a time when Buddhism was a reformation of the same. As was common practice in the eastern mystery religions, the Priory of Sion often used mind-expanding drugs in their ceremonies.

AI Overview

"Germinate" originates from the mid-15th century, derived from the Latin germinātus, the past participle of germināre ("to sprout, bud, or put forth shoots"). It stems from the root germen (genitive germinis), meaning "a sprout, bud, or sprig," highlighting its core meaning of emerging or developing life, often used in botanical contexts.

AI Overview

"Budding" (adj./n.) dates to the 1560s as a present-participle adjective from the verb bud (sprouting, putting forth buds). Its root is likely from the Middle English budde or bodde, which may be derived from the Proto-Germanic buzd-, indicating a swelling or swelling structure.

Meanwhile, in 1603 the Priory of Sion lost Great Britain to the Templars when James Stuart VI

of Scotland ascended the British throne as King James I. German Rosicrucians immediately went into action, founding Rosicrucian Freemasonry in England, then backing Cromwell to dethrone the Templar Stuarts. Many Protestants joined Cromwell's cause. Finally, in 1717 the Stuarts, with their Templar Freemasonry, were deported to France.

5 But God doth know that when ye shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, [f]knowing good and evil.

6 So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meat, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired, to get knowledge) took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her, and he [g]did eat.

7 Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they [h]knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig tree leaves together, and made themselves [i]breeches.

The Silver Bridge collapse on December 15, 1967, in Point Pleasant, WV, which killed 46 people, is famously linked to the "Mothman" legend. Between Nov 1966 and the disaster, residents reported sightings of a winged, red-eyed creature. While attributed to a, faulty eyebar suspension chain, many believe the Mothman was a harbinger of the disaster.

The etymology of "pontifex" is uncertain, but the word has been used since Roman times. The word appears to consist of the Latin word for "bridge" and the suffix for "maker" (pons + facere)". However, there is a possibility that this definition is a folk etymology for an Etruscan term,[9] since Roman religion was heavily influenced by Etruscan religion, and little is known about the Etruscan language, which is a non-Indo-European and poorly attested language.

Catholic Church use of the title

In December 2012, Pope Benedict XVI adopted @pontifex as his Twitter (now X) handle,[49] prompting users to pose questions with the #askpontifex hashtag.[50][51] This has been maintained by his successors Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV.[52]

What meaneth,

In the Papal architectural piles, wherein the Ghostly Fire is enshrined, symbolic real fire, thus before the High Altar? What speak those constellations of lights? what those “silvery stars of Annunciation”? What signifieth fire upon the altar? What gather we at all from altars and from sacrifice,—the delivering, as through the gate of fire, of the first and the best of this world,—whether of the fruits, whether of the flocks, whether of the primal and perfectest of victims, or the rich spoil of the “world-states”? What mean the human sacrifices of the Heathen; the passing of the children through the fire to Moloch; the devotion of the consummate, the most physically perfect, and most beautiful, to the glowing Nemesis, in that keenest, strangest, yet divinest, fire-appetite; the offered plunder, the surrendered lives, of the predatory races? What signifies the sacrifice of Iphigenia, the burning of living people among the Gauls, the Indian fiery immolations? What is intended even by the patriarchal sacrifices? What is the meaning of the burnt offerings, so frequent in the Bible? In short, what read we, and what seem we conclusively to gather, we repeat, in this mystic thing, and hitherto almost meaningless, if not contradictory and silencing, institution of sacrifice by fire? What gather we, otherwise than in the explanation of the thing signified by it? We speak of sacrifice as practised in all ages, enjoined in all holy books, elevated into veneration, as a necessity of the highest and most sacred kind.

The Baal's Bridge Square was discovered in 1830 during the excavation of Baal’s Bridge’s foundations in the City of Limerick in Ireland. Brother James Pain, architect and engineer of Limerick, was contracted to re-build Baal's Bridge and on taking down the old bridge discovered the square in the northern land pier of the old. The date of the construction of the earlier bridge is not known but it’s existence was noted in records of 1558 at the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth. Then it was called Tide-bridge according to Rev P Fitzgerald writing in 1827.

It is the oldest Irish artifact of Speculative Masonry and one of the oldest Masonic artifacts in the world. The date 1507 is inscribed on the Square.

In Canaanite mythology, El is the supreme deity, known as the "Father of Gods" ('abū banī 'ili) and creator of all. As the head of the pantheon, he is described as an ancient, wise, grey-bearded king (often called "Father of Years" or 'ab šnm) who fathered many gods, including Baal and Mot, and is the consort of Asherah.

AI Overview

Papa is an ecclesiastical Latin word meaning "father" or "papa," which originated as a child's term for "father" or "grandfather," derived from Greek pappas or Latin pater. It is the root for "pope" (the Bishop of Rome) and is distinct from the formal Latin word for father, pater.

In surviving accounts, Baʿal's power over fertility extends only over vegetation. Older scholarship claimed Baʿal controlled human fertility as well but did so on the basis of misinterpretation or of inscriptions now regarded as dubious.[33] Similarly, 19th-century scholarship treating Baal as a personification of the sun seems to have been badly taken. The astrotheology of Near Eastern deities was an Iron Age development long postdating the origin of religion and, following its development, Bel and Baʿal were associated with the planet Jupiter.[34] The sun was worshipped in Canaan as either the goddess Shapash or the god Shamash.

The Statue of Saint Peter: A Repurposed Idol of Jupiter?

One of the most venerated images in St. Peter’s Basilica is the famous bronze statue of “Saint Peter” seated on a throne. Over centuries, millions of Catholics have kissed its feet in devotion, wearing the metal down in a manner eerily similar to how ancient pagans venerated the statues of their gods. However, historical evidence suggests that this is not an original depiction of Peter, but rather a repurposed statue of the Roman god Jupiter (Zeus), rebranded to aid the Church’s assimilation of pagan converts.

Fallen angels are spiritual beings expelled from Heaven, commonly due to pride, envy, or rebellion against God, often linked to Lucifer's fall. These entities, which some traditions estimate to be one-third of the heavenly host, act against humanity by tempting them into sin and spreading corruption. They act as tempters or malevolent forces, often depicted in literature and theology as "demons" or "rebels".

Real talk w/ Heidi - Broken Systems & Overcoming

7 days ago

A notable tactic of abusers is that they will paint their victims in a false light, and do so loudly, yet strategically. They will point the finger and project many of their own behaviors onto the victim, so that people will see them differently and not believe the victim if they ever have the courage to come forward about the abuse they are experiencing.

The abuser will attack their victim’s character, accuse them of substance issues, promiscuity, call them crazy, and do anything they can to discredit them. They will even claim that their victim is abusive. In doing this, the abuser maintains the power and control of how people perceive the situation and the victim.

This makes it much easier to continue the abuse without question. At this point, anything the victim says will be chalked up to mental health issues or be considered invalid. Then the abuse will heighten, and the victim becomes less inclined to speak up because any attempts to do so are met with negative consequence. Not only from the abuser, but from others that have been manipulated to also be silent partners in the abuse.

An abuser is a master manipulator that is very good at twisting the narrative to paint themselves as a victim, and it’s easy for others to fall into the trap if they lack adequate training of these patterns.

Abusers will often utilize systems such as the justice system, law enforcement, medical providers, and other entities, such as the victim’s family, community and religious organization to target the victim as well, isolating them from any type of support or help.

There is a considerable lack of training in fields that are utilized as avenues to empower abuse.

The next time someone boldly speaks negatively about another, it’s wise to sit back and question why they would do so. Speaking ill of another person should be a red flag. There is no other motive of speaking negatively about another person, other than to do them harm. It certainly doesn’t promote anything good, wholesome or helpful.

There are many resources to learn skills to identify these patterns. It’s very possible that a loved one at some point may need your help in identifying these tactics. Everyone should become educated to avoid becoming inadvertent abusers themselves by falling into the trap.

This is a community, family, and overall public responsibility of helpful and contributing citizens.

What Is Jury Tampering? Laws, Penalties, and Charges

Jury tampering is a federal crime that can derail a trial and land you in prison. Here's what counts as tampering and what the law says about it.

LegalClarity Team

Published Apr 1, 2026

Jury tampering is any attempt to influence a juror’s decision outside the normal courtroom process, and federal law treats it as a serious crime carrying penalties up to 30 years in prison in the most extreme cases. Several overlapping federal statutes target different forms of tampering, from offering bribes to sending threatening letters, and prosecutors can bring charges whether the tampering targets a grand juror, a trial juror, or even someone who has already served. The consequences extend beyond the person who does the tampering: a juror who accepts a bribe faces the same bribery statute, and a tainted verdict can be thrown out entirely.

Federal Statutes That Cover Jury Tampering

No single federal law addresses every form of jury tampering. Instead, prosecutors choose among several statutes depending on the conduct involved and the severity of the threat.

18 U.S.C. 1503: Obstruction of Justice

This is the broadest federal obstruction statute. The first part of Section 1503 specifically targets anyone who tries to influence, intimidate, or injure a grand or petit juror in connection with their duties. It also covers retaliation against jurors after they have served, making it illegal to harm a juror because of a verdict they helped reach. The second part of the statute contains a catchall provision (sometimes called the “omnibus clause”) that covers any corrupt effort to obstruct the administration of justice more broadly.1

18 U.S.C. 1512: Tampering With a Witness, Victim, or Informant

Section 1512 targets anyone who uses physical force, threats, intimidation, or corrupt persuasion to influence testimony or participation in an official proceeding. Although the statute’s title references witnesses, its operative language covers “any person” involved in a proceeding, and prosecutors regularly use it in jury-tampering cases. The penalties under this statute are the harshest available: up to 30 years for using or attempting physical force, and up to 20 years for intimidation or threats without actual violence.2

18 U.S.C. 201: Bribery

The federal bribery statute explicitly defines jurors as “public officials.” That means anyone who offers something of value to a juror to influence a verdict commits the same crime as bribing a member of Congress. Just as importantly, the statute works in both directions: a juror who demands or accepts a bribe faces prosecution under the same law, with the same penalties.3

18 U.S.C. 1504: Influencing a Juror by Writing

This narrower statute makes it a crime to send any written communication to a juror about a matter pending before them. It carries a lighter penalty than the other tampering statutes — up to six months — but gives prosecutors a tool for cases where the contact involved written persuasion rather than threats or bribery.4

State laws generally mirror these federal statutes, though the specific penalty ranges and offense classifications vary across jurisdictions.

Conduct That Qualifies as Tampering

Jury tampering takes several recognizable forms. The common thread is an effort to reach a juror outside the normal trial process and change how they vote or deliberate.

Bribery

Offering money, gifts, or anything of value to a juror in exchange for a favorable vote is the most direct form of tampering. Under Section 201, the bribe does not need to succeed for the crime to be complete — merely offering or promising something of value with corrupt intent is enough. The statute also captures more subtle arrangements, like offering a benefit to a third party on the juror’s behalf.3

Threats and Physical Force

Coercing a juror through verbal threats, implied violence, or actual physical force triggers the harshest penalties available. Under Section 1512, using or attempting physical force to influence a juror’s participation in a proceeding carries up to 30 years in prison. Threatening physical force without carrying it out still carries up to 20 years.2 Section 1503 also covers threats and intimidation directed at jurors, with penalties up to 10 years in a standard case and up to 20 years when the case being tried involves a serious felony.1

Unauthorized Contact

Any communication with a juror about a pending case that happens outside the courtroom and without the court’s knowledge can constitute tampering. This does not require a bribe or threat — the contact itself is the problem if it is designed to influence how the juror thinks about the case. Prosecutors typically prove unauthorized contact through phone records, text messages, or emails that show someone reached out to a juror about a pending matter.

Digital and Social Media Contact

Online communications create newer tampering risks. Sending a social media connection request to an active juror, messaging them through a platform, or posting content directed at influencing identified jurors all qualify as unauthorized contact. Courts have treated social media access requests as impermissible communications even when no explicit discussion of the case occurs, because the request itself opens a channel the court did not authorize. Attorneys face particular scrutiny here: professional conduct rules prohibit lawyers from communicating with jurors directly or through intermediaries, and sending a friend request to a juror’s private account crosses that line.

How Jury Tampering Is Investigated

Most tampering investigations begin with a report from a juror, an attorney, or a court official who notices something irregular. Jurors are instructed at the start of every trial to report any outside contact about the case to the judge immediately. Federal courts reinforce this obligation in their juror instructions and remind jurors to notify the Clerk of Court if anyone approaches them.5

Once a report surfaces, investigators gather evidence that can establish both the contact and the intent behind it. Financial records may show unexplained payments to a juror. Phone logs, emails, text messages, and social media activity can document the timing and content of unauthorized communications. Surveillance footage near a juror’s home or workplace sometimes captures in-person approaches. Prosecutors may also use cooperating witnesses or recorded conversations to build the case.

The Remmer Hearing

When tampering allegations arise during or after a trial, the court holds a special evidentiary hearing to assess the damage. This procedure comes from the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Remmer v. United States, which established that any private contact with a juror about a pending case is presumed to be prejudicial. The burden then falls on the government (or whichever party is defending against the tampering allegation) to prove there is no reasonable possibility the contact affected the jury’s impartiality.6

At a Remmer hearing, the court examines the circumstances of the contact, questions the affected juror about its impact, and allows both sides to present evidence and arguments. The judge cannot handle the matter behind closed doors — both the prosecution and the defense must have the opportunity to participate. If the hearing reveals that the tampering was harmful, the court must grant a new trial.6

Criminal Penalties

The penalty range for jury tampering depends on which statute is charged and how severe the conduct was. Federal law treats tampering involving violence far more harshly than non-violent influence.

Statutory Maximums

Physical force or attempted force (Section 1512): Up to 30 years in prison. If the tampering results in a death, the penalties mirror those for murder under Sections 1111 and 1112.2

Threats of physical force (Section 1512): Up to 20 years.2

Intimidation or corrupt persuasion (Section 1512(b)): Up to 20 years.2

Obstruction involving a juror in a serious felony case (Section 1503): Up to 20 years.1

General obstruction (Section 1503): Up to 10 years.1

Bribery (Section 201): Up to 15 years, plus a fine of up to three times the value of the bribe. A conviction can also disqualify the person from holding any federal office.3

Written influence (Section 1504): Up to six months.4

Federal Sentencing Guidelines

In practice, actual sentences are shaped by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, not just statutory maximums. Obstruction of justice offenses under Section 1503 start at a base offense level of 14 under Guideline Section 2J1.2. From there, the level increases based on aggravating factors: an 8-level increase applies when the defendant caused or threatened physical injury to obstruct justice, and a 3-level increase applies when the offense substantially interfered with the administration of justice.7

Liability for the Juror

Jury tampering is not just a crime for the person doing the tampering. A juror who accepts a bribe faces prosecution under Section 201 with the same 15-year maximum as the person who offered it. Because the statute defines jurors as public officials, a juror who demands or agrees to accept something of value in exchange for voting a particular way commits federal bribery.3

Effect on the Trial Outcome

The consequences of jury tampering extend well beyond criminal charges against the tamperer. Tampering can unravel an entire trial.

Under the Remmer framework, any unauthorized contact with a juror is presumed to have been prejudicial. If the party defending against the allegation cannot demonstrate that the contact was harmless, the court must set the verdict aside.6 When tampering is discovered mid-trial, the judge may declare a mistrial. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 26.3 requires the court to give both parties an opportunity to weigh in before ordering a mistrial, and to consider alternatives — but when the jury’s impartiality has been compromised, there may be no viable alternative.8

When tampering surfaces after a conviction, the defendant can move for a new trial. When it surfaces after an acquittal, the outcome is more complicated — double jeopardy protections generally prevent retrial, though the tamperer still faces independent criminal charges for obstruction. This asymmetry is one reason prosecutors and courts take preventive measures so seriously.

How Courts Prevent Tampering

Courts do not simply react to tampering after it happens. Judges have several tools to reduce the risk before trial even begins.

Anonymous Juries

In high-risk cases, courts can withhold jurors’ names and personal information from the public and the parties. Federal courts require two findings before impaneling an anonymous jury: the judge must identify a strong reason to believe the jury needs protection, and must take reasonable steps to minimize any unfair prejudice to the defendant from the anonymity itself. Factors that justify this step include the defendant’s ties to organized crime, a history of attempts to interfere with proceedings, the possibility of a very long sentence, and intense media coverage.

Sequestration

In the most sensitive cases, the court may physically isolate jurors from outside contact for the duration of the trial. Sequestration means jurors stay in a hotel under supervision, with controlled access to media and communications. Courts use this sparingly because it is expensive, disruptive, and stressful for jurors, but it remains the most effective tool when tampering risks are extreme. Even without full sequestration, courts routinely instruct alternate jurors not to discuss the case with anyone and take steps to keep them separated from deliberating jurors.9

Juror Reporting Obligations

Every juror receives instructions at the outset of trial to report any outside contact about the case directly to the judge. Federal courts emphasize that legitimate court communications come through the U.S. mail, not through phone calls or emails requesting personal information, and that jurors who receive suspicious contacts should notify the Clerk of Court immediately.5 This reporting duty is the first line of defense. Most tampering investigations begin because a juror did exactly what they were told to do.

The Gotti Trial: Jury Tampering in Practice

The prosecution of mob boss John Gotti illustrates how jury tampering works and how it eventually unravels. Gotti was acquitted at trial in the late 1980s, and federal investigators later discovered the reason: his associates had paid a juror named George Pape $60,000 to vote not guilty and try to sway other jurors. According to testimony from Gotti’s former underboss, Sammy Gravano, the payment was arranged through Bosko Radonjich, the leader of a gang allied with the Gotti organization, and Gotti himself approved the deal.

Pape was ultimately convicted of accepting the bribe. Gotti, meanwhile, was convicted at a subsequent 1992 trial where prosecutors took extensive precautions to protect the jury. The case exposed how organized crime could manipulate the trial process from the inside and became a catalyst for reforms in juror protection, including wider use of anonymous juries in federal organized-crime cases.

Professional Consequences for Attorneys

An attorney involved in jury tampering faces consequences that go beyond criminal penalties. Tampering with jurors is a felony involving dishonesty, which is grounds for disbarment in every jurisdiction. Even lesser involvement — like failing to report a client’s tampering scheme — can result in suspension or other professional discipline. Professional conduct rules prohibit lawyers from communicating with jurors outside the courtroom except as authorized by law, and violations can trigger contempt findings in addition to bar complaints. For a lawyer, a jury tampering conviction effectively ends their career.

Ernesto Miranda was a laborer from Arizona whose 1963 arrest and subsequent confession led to the landmark 1966 Supreme Court case, rather than a lawyer or law student.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning

"[And] The True Magic Mirror. This is an emblem of the Soul, which when fully developed will act as a mirror to the

universe wherein may be wisdom and truth.

"Lastly, a complete copy of the private text book, 'Ritualistic Occultism,' which contains the ceremonies as made use of by

the Magi, and four of these ceremonials were made use of by four of the Magi, in the dedication of the Magic Circle.

"When all of this had taken place, the stone was completed and then later in the day the characters were engraved upon

the stone by the Brother who had completed the stone.

"Of the midnight 'Feast to the Gods' and of the morning services which took place in the grove it is not lawful for me to

speak at this time, but it is my sincere prayer that all who are enrolled in the Sacred Schools may some day be present with us

and witness these sublime ceremonies, especially as they are conferred in the Spring of the year. [William Cooper: In the

spring of the year.]

"Arrangements were made by the delegates present, through voluntary contributions, to either buy another large grove, or

if that is found impracticable, to build a much larger Hall in the 'Grove of Osiris' so that advanced ceremonies may be held the

coming Spring at the 69th Convocation of the Rose Cross Order."

[William Cooper]: Now, I'm going to reveal something to you that I've never told you before on this program. I've been

working up to it, and now is the time to tell you before I read from the next section of this book. For then you will understand

what has been happening in the last fifty years, and what is happening now.

[William Cooper]: It was Harry Truman, a 33rd degree Freemason, who signed the United Nations treaty, who pushed

through and signed the United Nations Participation Act.

After Octavian's conquest of Egypt in 31 BC, the Farnese Cup was possibly acquired by the Treasury of Rome; according to some, it was only made after the Romans took Egypt. It seems it was later taken to Byzantium, then back west after this city was sacked in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnese_Cup

Giulia Farnese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒuːlja farˈneːze, -eːse]; 1474 – 23 March 1524) was an Italian noblewoman, a mistress to Pope Alexander VI, and the sister of Pope Paul III.[2] Known as Giulia la Bella (Italian for 'Julia the Beautiful'), she was a member of the noble Farnese family, who were prominent leaders in the Italian regions of Parma and Piacenza.[2] After marrying into the noble Orsini family in the Papal States, Farnese soon acquainted herself with, and initiated an affair with, the Spanish Cardinal Rodrigo de Borja. When the cardinal was elected Pope, Farnese continued the increasingly advantageous liaison, which enabled her to have her brother Alessandro made a cardinal, until losing Alexander's favor at the turn of the century.

Borgo (sometimes called also I Borghi) is the 14th rione (administrative district) of Rome, Italy. It is identified by the initials R. XIV and is included within Municipio I.

Its coat of arms shows a lion (after the name "Leonine City", which was also given to the district), lying in front of three mounts and a star. These – together with a lion rampant – are also part of the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V, who annexed Borgo as the 14th rione of Rome.

The presence of a Nataraja (dancing Lord Shiva) statue at CERN symbolizes the metaphoric link between the "cosmic dance" of subatomic particles and Hindu cosmology, often discussed in relation to the Kali Yuga (the current age of conflict). While some speculate this links to cosmic destruction or, as suggested by a Reddit user, that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) caused a reality shift, CERN confirms the statue is a gift celebrating its partnership with India.

The Bible does not mention vampires, as they are modern fictional creations. However, it contains prohibitions against consuming blood, viewing it as sacred life-force (Leviticus 17:10–11), and references to ancient blood-sucking demons or myths that bear superficial similarities, such as the mythological figure Lilith (Isaiah 34:14, often translated as "screech owl").

There is no scientific "clone" of the biblical King David. In theological and historical contexts, the concept refers to figures deemed "counterfeit Davids" (such as Jeroboam or Omri) who mirrored his reign, or the expected Messiah, who is prophesied to be a paternal descendant and spiritual "clone" (a direct successor) to restore the Davidic line.

George Washington was actually offered kingship, but declined because he had no immediately qualifying heritage. Instead he turned to the Royal House of Stuart. In November 1782 four Americans arrived at the San Clemente Palazzo in Florence, the residence of Charles III Stuart in exile. They were Mr Galloway of Maryland, two brothers named Sylvester from Pennsylvania, and Mr Fish, a lawyer from New York. They were taken to Charles Edward by his secretary, John Stewart. Also present was the Hon Charles Hervey-Townshend (later Britain’s ambassador to The Hague) and the Prince's future wife, Marguerite, Comtesse de Massillan. The interview — which revolved around the contemporary transatlantic dilemma — is doctimented in the US Senate archives and in the Manorwater Papers. Writers such as Sir Compton Mackenzie and Sir Charles Petrie have also described the occasion when Charles Edward Stuart was invited to become ‘King of the Americans’. Some years earlier, Charles had been similarly approached by the men of Boston, but once the War of Independence was over George Washington sent his own envoys. It would have been a great irony for the House of Hanover to lose the North American colonies to the Stuarts. But Charles declined the offer for a number of reasons, not the least of which was his lack of a legitimate male heir at the time. He knew that without a due successor the United States could easily fall to Hanover again at his death, thereby defeating the whole Independence effort.

James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman;[a] August 2, 1984) is an American politician and author serving as the 50th vice president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he represented Ohio in the United States Senate from 2023 to 2025.

Born and raised in Middletown, Ohio, Vance enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2003, serving as a military journalist in public affairs throughout his four-year tenure until 2007. He earned a bachelor's degree from Ohio State University and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School. After a brief career in corporate law, Vance worked for Peter Thiel's venture capital firm Mithril Capital.

Vance gained national prominence with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, amid scholarly and media efforts to interpret white working-class disaffection after Donald Trump's election and the political realignment in post-industrial Appalachia and the Midwest. Vance was originally concerned by and opposed Trump's candidacy, but became a strong supporter during Trump's presidency. He was elected to the Senate in 2022, defeating Democratic nominee Tim Ryan in the general election after winning a crowded Republican primary with Trump's endorsement.

Vance was selected as Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential election and resigned from the Senate before his inauguration as vice president. During his tenure as vice president, he has also served as finance chair of the Republican National Committee. Vance has cited Catholic theology as an influence on his views, but both Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV have criticized him for misrepresenting Church teaching. He has been described as a national conservative and right-wing populist, aligning himself with the "postliberal" New Right movement. His political platform is characterized by opposition to immigration, abortion, same-sex marriage, gun control, and U.S. support for Ukraine, and he is an outspoken critic of childlessness.

Key Historical Details of the Ohio State Reformatory:

www.mrps.org

Architecture & Design: Designed by Levi Scofield, the structure was meant to be inspiring, utilizing a "castle-like" appearance to encourage rehabilitation.

Purpose: Originally called the "Intermediate Penitentiary," it housed first-time male offenders, focusing on education, trade, and religion.

"Shawshank" Connection: The site was used as the Maine prison in the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, and now hosts a "Shawshank Museum" featuring props and set pieces.

Closure & Preservation: Due to a 1990 court ruling regarding inhumane overcrowding, the facility closed. It is now managed by the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society and offers tours and paranormal investigations.

Hauntings: The prison is widely regarded as haunted, with legends of former inmates and guards lingering in the six-story cell block.

Another, separate institution, the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus (operating 1834–1984), was a different maximum-security facility located in the now-redeveloped Arena District.

AI Overview

The earliest known prisons in ancient history were likely simple, short-term detention pits or caves used by early societies, but formalized confinement arose in Mesopotamia and Egypt around 2100-1000 BC. Early, formal institutions included the Babylonian bīt nupārim (workhouse) for war captives and debtors, and the Roman Mamertine Prison (Tullianum), established around 640 BC.

Wikipedia

Mesopotamian Prisons (c. 2100 BC): The Code of Ur-Nammu and later the Code of Hammurabi are among the earliest records mentioning imprisonment, though these were often temporary, underground dungeons, or workhouses for laborers.

Ancient Egyptian Dungeons: Known for using complex subterranean mazes and underground structures to prevent escapes.

The Mamertine Prison (640 BC - Rome): Known as Tullianum, it is one of the most famous early prisons, designed as a two-level underground dungeon in Rome. It held criminals and political prisoners in harsh conditions, often including a sewage outlet.

Ancient Greek Desmoterion: Known as "the place of chains," these were used for confinement, often for those awaiting execution or unable to pay fines.

These early prisons differed from modern systems by functioning mainly as temporary holding places for people awaiting slavery or execution, rather than places for rehabilitation.

Ignatian Year: Incarceration and Conversion

by Luke Trinka, M.T.S. '22

Luke Trinka reflects on St. Ignatius of Loyola's experiences of incarceration with his own experiences serving in prison ministry at a correctional facility in Massachusetts.

It was dusk, a dusk that with our winter-bound movement was imminent. Under a fading horizon, I found myself driving toward a Massachusetts correctional facility. By the time I pulled off marked roads and onto gravel ones, the sun was fully down. It was dark, but not ordinarily so. It was a thick dark, a dark that was like a weighted blanket thrown over this particular parcel of the world. I stepped out of my car and felt its suffocating weight. As I walked on, I noticed that a lone, hazy light shone in the near distance. Taking this for the entrance I set out for it.

After moving from one holding area to the next, one set of slamming steel doors to the next, I was led into an empty visitation area lit by panels of buzzing overhead white lights. A guard pointed me to a small private room with a door left ajar. “Your client is in there,” she said. I walked in.

No matter the degree to which I prepare for a prison visit, nothing ever prepares me to really see the human being beyond the briefs, medical records, memos, and investigative reports. No matter how well-argued, client-narrative-centered, nor humanely dignifying. I was viscerally taken by my client’s precarity. He suffers from multiple life-threatening medical conditions. His outward vulnerabilities disclose his interior fragility. Every day, he carries the dark weight of several decades of wrongful incarceration. Since his conviction and imprisonment, he has maintained his innocence.

Across our evening together, we shared stories about ourselves, friends, and families. Like a kind of lurching gravitational pull, though, we could not escape the question: “Why me?” he asked. That is, “Why was it that I was wrongfully arrested, convicted, and incarcerated?” Each time we were pulled into the orbit of his question, he choked up, quivered, and tears rolled down his face. “Luke, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to do this in front of you.” At a loss for any real consolation, all I could find to hold on was: “You do not need to apologize. How could you not feel this way? What has happened is so indescribably cruel.” I then followed his lead and drew three long, deep breaths. He then guided us back to a place of tenuous conversational stability. Despite the specter of pain that haunts his life, he remains steadfast. He believes in himself, his legal team, and his redemption. His is a hope against hope.

A line from Gregory Boyle, S.J., resonates: “The day will never come when I have more courage or I am more noble or closer to God than they [former gang members] are.” Even though I traveled to visit with this individual to accompany, I was the receiver not giver of real presence, real grace. I was not guiding; I was being guided. My client was embodying what real vulnerability, interior strength, and empowered hope actually look like.

On this 500th anniversary of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s conversion, what lingers over my heart is Ignatius’s own experiences of incarceration. In Alcalá, Spain, Ignatius was discussing questions of faith in public and was arrested, thrown into jail, and held in custody for eighteen days without knowing the charges against him. In Salamanca, Ignatius was questioned about his preaching and subsequently placed in the city’s jail where he was kept chained to a post in the middle of the building. During his own moment in human history, Ignatius knew what it was to stand with his back against the wall. With his own back against the wall in 1st century Jerusalem, Jesus, too, knew the pain and terror of wrongful incarceration. And yet, in Jesus’s resurrection and Ignatius’s redemption, followed by his inspired ministry to the world, we not only find the long, dark shadow of wrongful imprisonment but also a hope against hope. How we remember Jesus and St. Ignatius matters. When we see them as not only in relationship but also in radical solidarity with the condemned of our own day, we might practice what Hebrews 13:3 instructs: Remember those who are in prison, as though you were there in prison with them, those who are being tortured as though you yourselves were being tortured. In remembering, walking with, and getting proximate to the wrongfully convicted, we see that with their backs against the wall they found a way forward, a hope-against-hope-way forward that we are called to follow.

According to the monster's origin story in Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey, issue 2, the suit was not designed to contain Doomsday. It was actually just a burial garment in which he was clothed after being "killed" by the Calatonians' energy being, the Radiant. The Calatonians were apparently unaware that Doomsday would resurrect itself, and the robes and chains in which its corpse was wrapped were merely symbolic.

Doomsday was suited and chained so his spirit would not escape in the afterlife.

Presumably, for religious reasons, the garments and bindings were made of sturdy material, but they were probably the same as would have been used to bind the body of any other Calatonian killer.

Alumbrado, (Spanish: “Enlightened”, ) Italian Illuminato, plural Illuminati, a follower of a mystical movement in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. Its adherents claimed that the human soul, having attained a certain degree of perfection, was permitted a vision of the divine and entered into direct communication with the Holy Spirit.

The Alumbrados came primarily from among the reformed Franciscans and the Jesuits, but their doctrines seem to have influenced all classes of people.

One God, One Faith, One Spiritual Authority

Pope Boniface VIII - 1302

Bull of Pope Boniface VIII promulgated November 18, 1302

Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed.

We venerate this Church as one, the Lord having said by the mouth of the prophet: ‘Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword and my only one from the hand of the dog.’ [Ps 21:20] He has prayed for his soul, that is for himself, heart and body; and this body, that is to say, the Church, He has called one because of the unity of the Spouse, of the faith, of the sacraments, and of the charity of the Church. This is the tunic of the Lord, the seamless tunic, which was not rent but which was cast by lot [Jn 19:23- 24]. Therefore, of the one and only Church there is one body and one head, not two heads like a monster; that is, Christ and the Vicar of Christ, Peter and the successor of Peter, since the Lord speaking to Peter Himself said: ‘Feed my sheep‘ [Jn 21:17], meaning, my sheep in general, not these, nor those in particular, whence we understand that He entrusted all to him [Peter]. Therefore, if the Greeks or others should say that they are not confided to Peter and to his successors, they must confess not being the sheep of Christ, since Our Lord says in John ‘there is one sheepfold and one shepherd.’ We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Therefore, both are in the power of the Church, namely, the spiritual sword and the material. But indeed, the latter is to be exercised on behalf of the Church; and truly, the former is to be exercised by the Church. The former is of the priest; the latter is by the hand of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest.

However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority, subjected to spiritual power. For since the Apostle said: ‘There is no power except from God and the things that are, are ordained of God‘ [Rom 13:1-2], but they would not be ordained if one sword were not subordinated to the other and if the inferior one, as it were, were not led upwards by the other.

For, according to the Blessed Dionysius, it is a law of the divinity that the lowest things reach the highest place by intermediaries. Then, according to the order of the universe, all things are not led back to order equally and immediately, but the lowest by the intermediary, and the inferior by the superior. Hence we must recognize the more clearly that spiritual power surpasses in dignity and in nobility any temporal power whatever, as spiritual things surpass the temporal. This we see very clearly also by the payment, benediction, and consecration of the tithes, but the acceptance of power itself and by the government even of things. For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgement if it has not been good. Thus is accomplished the prophecy of Jeremias concerning the Church and the ecclesiastical power: ‘Behold to-day I have placed you over nations, and over kingdoms‘ and the rest. Therefore, if the terrestrial power err, it will be judged by the spiritual power; but if a minor spiritual power err, it will be judged by a superior spiritual power; but if the highest power of all err, it can be judged only by God, and not by man, according to the testimony of the Apostle: ‘The spiritual man judgeth of all things and he himself is judged by no man‘ [1 Cor 2:15]. This authority, however, (though it has been given to man and is exercised by man), is not human but rather divine, granted to Peter by a divine word and reaffirmed to him (Peter) and his successors by the One Whom Peter confessed, the Lord saying to Peter himself, ‘Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound also in Heaven‘ etc., [Mt 16:19]. Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

– Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

Most adherents of Futurism,11 the popular Evangelical interpretation of prophecy, don't even have a clue as to where the well accepted end time seven year tribulation period is even derived from in the scripture itself, though it happens to be the host period of every key event that differentiates that popular view from the historical position.12

The Seven Year Tribulation

There are two foundational scripture passages upon which the futurist seven year tribulation is based:

1. Matthew 24. 1-31.

Verse 21 mentions, For then there will be great tribulation, during its abomination of desolation discourse from whence I discern the terminology, The Great Tribulation, is derived.

Then verse 29 records that: Immediately after the tribulation of those days Jesus will come in His power and the elect will be resurrected.13

11 Dispensational Futurism is the belief in a pretribulation secret rapture of the Gentile Church, and separate plans of salvation and covenant for the Gentile Church and the Jewish Nation, requiring a 7 year tribulation period for God to deal specifically with the Jewish Nation before the return of Christ. They also embrace several gaps theories, one inserted into the 70 weeks of Daniel, and the other gap overleaps the entire church era in the Book of Revelation.

12 Historicism is the tenant that: chapters six through nineteen of the Revelation contain the prophecy of the church in the world from the end of the first century until the Second Coming of Christ, Resurrection of the Saints, and the establishment of Jesus’ earthly reign for the final millennium of this creation era; History verifies that which has already been fulfilled. Understanding of the cryptic symbols and events described vary among different expositors, especially as to those things that are yet future; Historicists are united for the most part on the 1260 year reign of the Papacy, his filling the II Thess. 2 seat of the man of sin and the Roman Church being the great apostasy commensurate with the same text; the Seventy Weeks of Daniel being contiguous and terminating seven years after Jesus’ appearance as Messiah at his Jordan River baptism.

13 See chapter 4 of Reformed Prophecy Interpretation, The Olivet Discourse.

22 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

The popular belief is that both of these mentions of tribulation are referring to the same event and period of time. However no reference is made of a seven year duration for either mention in the text of this chapter.

The application of a seven year duration is where the scriptural gymnastics begin, but it is not where they end. Where one must turn to create the coveted seven year duration is to the Daniel Seventy Weeks passage, which up until several hundred years ago was thought to be completely fulfilled in the first century according to the Protestant Historicist mindset. They Identify the final week of years as non-contiguous, and move it off to the last seven years immediately before the return of Christ, and label it, The Seven Year Tribulation.

The Seven Year Tribulation – 23

2. The Seventy Weeks Prophecy from Daniel Chapter Nine

(24) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

(25) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

(26) And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

(27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. KJV

These four verses comprise the entire text of the seventy weeks prophecy. There are two schools of thought on the interpretation of verse 27. The Futurist school being the most popular today, hinges upon the acceptance of several presumptions:

Presumption 1. That the seventieth week of Daniel, unlike the first sixty-nine weeks, is not contiguous:

2. The Seventy Weeks Prophecy from Daniel Chapter Nine

Presumption 1. That the seventieth week of Daniel, unlike the first sixty-nine weeks, is not contiguous:

24 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

meaning that there is an undetermined gap or interval of time between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth weeks of years, and that this gap has been going on for almost two thousand years.

This first presumption cannot be supported by any accepted interpretive method and there is nothing in the text, nothing in the chapter, nothing in the book of Daniel, nor the entire Bible, which explicitly supports inserting an undetermined gap of time between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks of the prophecy. Therefore it must be assumed upon wishful thinking or pure conjecture. And there must be a total disregard for the literal meaning of the text. However these presumptions are exactly what Evangelicals have accepted, whether they know it or not!

About July 2011 I posted a challenge on my blog and YouTube page to Chuck Missler to Show Me The Gap.14 To this day neither he nor anyone else has stepped up to the challenge. We should not be surprised that no one can come forth with a viable defense, perhaps it is better to just ignore the impossible. Nevertheless most adherents are not bothered by such challenges to their favored prophetic scenario, and continue to hold to their long accepted comfort without question. When something has been so long and so completely and widely reinforced, it is very difficult for any but the most scholarly minded truth seeker to even consider an alternative to what has become accepted as truth, whether it is actually true or not.

The Rapture Seven Year Tribulation presumption has become “the truth” for most of the modern Christian and

14https://nicklasarthur.wordpress.com/thegapchuck/

Evangelical mindset, so much so that the Raptures have become synonymous with the Resurrection, and anyone who challenges the unbiblical Raptures, in the mind of those deluded, is indeed challenging the very biblical Resurrection. You notice that I use the plural Raptures whereas most adherents speak of the coveted event in the singular, Rapture. But the fact remains that the Rapture doctrine consists of a multiple choice between three Raptures: Pre-tribulation; Mid-tribulation and; Post-tribulation.

This is a very important part of the delusion in that:

1. it gives the consumer a part in developing the prophecy to suit his own desire or comfort level, he chooses his own position and is now psychologically invested to defend it, and;

2. it offers alternate options, when in the future as each successive rapture choice fails, in order to string the consumer along once the starting event of the seven year tribulation deception occurs;

3. At the end of the seven years when none of the raptures materialize the adherent may reject the Bible, based upon the failure of a false interpretation or will unknowingly turn to the true Anti-Christ who will now appear to have had the true interpretation of the Revelation all along.

Additional sub-presumptions are needed make this first one work: It must be presumed that the Daniel seventieth week immediately precedes the return of Christ for his millennial reign; and that the resurrection of the dead immediately precedes, divides, or follows the final week of the same prophecy. Neither of these

26 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

can be established by the express reading of the Daniel text, but are based solely upon conjecture.

Presumption 2. That the “he” of the text is not the proper first person antecedent “Messiah” of the two previous verses, but the second person “prince” of the previous verse from the noun phrase “the people of the prince that shall come...”

First of all, the noun phrase actually refers to the people and not the prince. Therefore the prince cannot qualify under any circumstance.

Second, I have yet to find another occurrence where “he” in the text of scripture is not preceded by a singular or proper noun antecedent and understood as such. Please try it for yourself, out of 5,350 Verses Found, and 7,360 Matches for the word “he” in the King James Version Old Testament, there are none that I could discover that would violate this fundamental rule of grammar. He is always preceded by a singular or proper noun antecedent.

This is very problematic for the Futurist adherent simply because the only qualifying antecedent in our text is the Messiah Himself, named twice; and not an unknown end-time Anti-Christ who is named nowhere.

However in some newer English versions the proper noun “Messiah” has been completely removed from the text and replaced with “an anointed one.” I would like to know just who the Futurist believe this anointed one is. The fact that the identity is now ambiguous changes nothing. Whether one believes it is the Messiah or not, this “anointed one” is still the only antecedent noun in the text that qualifies. If you were to use “he” in a

conversion without referring to a singular or proper noun antecedent, those trying to follow you would certainly become confused somewhere along the conversation and stop you for clarification of just who “he” is. One cannot introduce “he” into a dialogue without a clear antecedent noun, or in the least a postcedent explanation, and not expect people to become immediately confused. And as the scripture saith, God is not the author of confusion.

Also, apparently you would think the new translators could not distinguish who God meant by “an annotated one”, but in reality it is easy to discern by the translation differences that follow that they simply did not want to name the Messiah. They purposely desired that the text be more ambiguous, as ambiguous as “the prince” in the phrase “the people of the prince that shall come” in order to make him a viable candidate to become the counter-reformation end-time anti-christ character put forth by the Jesuit Ribera. This to me, is the very fingerprint of the Jesuit Order on the new English versions.

In the King James Version it is crystal clear in that the characteristics attributed to the “he” in its translation are easily discernible as those of the antecedent Messiah.

1. he shall confirm the covenant - meaning that the covenant must already exist in order to be confirmed; and in compliance with the prophecy of Malachi chapter three, where “The Lord” is explicitly called “the messenger of the covenant” when He comes “suddenly to his temple”15, being a second witness to the Messiah

15Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the

28 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

as the proper antecedent.16 We list here several more witnesses in the epistles to “confirm” our understanding:

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Rom. 15:8

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Gal. 3:17

2. he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease - which Jesus coincidentally did in the midst of the seven year period immediately following his arrival at the Jordan river baptism depicted in the Gospels. Jesus caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease three and a half years after he began his ministry – by the sacrifice of himself on the cross. If one does not understand this simple truth, then one does not really understand the gospel at all.

3. he shall make it desolate - with the preposition “for the overspreading of abominations” describes this desolation announced upon Israel as a sovereign act of judgment by the Messiah, the one who is the King of Kings and very Judge of Heaven and Earth. As surely as God wielded Babylon as his sword in judgment against Judah when the First Temple was desolated,17 He, the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the resurrected and glorified Messiah wielded Rome as his sword in

messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. (Mal 3:1)

16The Malachi text reads virtually the same even in the new English versions – An oversight perhaps?

17Jer. 20.4 and 21.7

judgment18 against National Israel for the overspreading of abominations when the Second Temple was desolated in 70 AD.

Version Confusion

When I try to explain this to many people they open their Bible and read something that is totally different and it is no wonder that they are confused, because their new translation says something totally different. As a matter of fact the differences are so complete that one of the two must be wrong. It is very easy to determine that if one translation has textual and grammatical problems and one does not, that those problems will also extend to the interpretation in that translation as well.

The new English Standard Version is one of several versions that interprets the text so that it expresses something very different about the characteristics of the “he” in the same three statements.

1. he shall make a strong covenantESV - meaning that this cannot be about the covenant that already existed with Israel of which Jesus would be the messenger when he showed up in the Temple.19 But this interpretation does allow for an unknown end-time anti-Christ who will fit the bill of futurist doctrine and qualify to be the unknown “he” of the text.

2. he shall put an end to sacrifice and offeringESV - while this is practically the same language it takes on a purely speculative meaning in concert with the afore mentioned yet non-existent “strong covenant” and the

18And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down... (Luk 21:24)

19Malachi 3.1

30 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

bizarre attributes that follow.

3. on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolateESV - here the he is replaced with the ambiguous “one” once again confusing the identity, but further stating, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolatorESV so that the one desolating and desolated seem to be the same person. Therefore the he's and the “one” cannot be the Messiah regardless of whether the verses make any sense or not. The prophecy begins in verse 24 with the opening, “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city” but the end of this interpretive translation seems to be the close of a different prophecy and not the decreed end of Daniel's people and Holy city.

With the King James Version complete closure is provided for the stated opening proposition within the four verses which comprise the entire seventy weeks prophecy.

The changes in the new texts are obviously intended to drive home the point that the now ambiguous one and he cannot be The Messiah. Therefore he must be the end-time Anti-Christ, even though it is not stated in the text. But this obscurity is what we are expected to believe and accept.

These presumptions play directly into the hands of those who developed this counter-reformation end-time anti-Christ scenario, because while they do not believe it nor hold it as Roman Church doctrine themselves, to the contrary they decree the belief of the resurrection and bodily return of Christ to be The Millenarian Heresy20

and will be perceived to be correct when the three raptures fail and they are still standing with an apparent truth. Of course this apparent truth will be bolstered upon the failure of the false prophecy they developed for the very purpose of vindicating the Papacy as the very seat of the Historical and Biblical Anti-Christ. This purpose has been one of the main objects of the Jesuit's Counter-Reformation war on Protestant thought.

Dating the end of the 69th week:

The dating of “unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks” is essential in determining the interpretation of the entire 70 weeks prophecy.

I had a public conversation with Pastor Steve Miller of Lubbock, then a Futurist, where he described verse 25 as vague. Now we agreed that the “seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks” is exact – it equals 69 weeks of years. But the vague part for him is the “unto messiah the prince,” which for me is as exact as the 69 weeks part.

For me the end of the 69th week would be unto Jesus’ first appearance in His office as both Prince and Messiah. Jesus was born a prince, the Son of God – King of the Universe. But He did not qualify by the Law of Moses for the High Priest Messiah position until He reached the age of 30 years. It is no accident that Luke records for us that Jesus was in his 30th year at the time of His baptism by John at the River Jordan, immediately before He began his ministry.

in a visible reign of Christ over an earthly kingdom for a period of a thousand years.”

32 – Chapter Two – Learning the Lines

At that baptism both the Holy Spirit and the Father bare witness with John of Jesus’ credentials. Quote:

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. (John 1:29-30)

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (John 1:40-41)

In my mind, this record of events supports an exact understanding of the term “unto Messiah the prince.” He was revealed at the Jordan River baptism as both, therefore the 69 weeks “unto Messiah” and prince, “this is my son” ended there, and the 70th week commenced.21

Notwithstanding all this, here we are at a time when the Temple seems to be on the verge of being built and most of the modern Christian and Evangelical world will expect to be Raptured away when an agreement is established to undertake the task. Will they finally shake this great delusion or will they fall in line with the Anti-Christ Church and worship The Beast and its Image?

The Abraham Accord

Harbinger of the Temple Mount Play about to Begin

AI Overview

Sarah and Abraham are the foundational matriarch and patriarch of the Bible (Genesis 12-25), called by God to leave their homeland for Canaan, where they were promised a great nation. Despite waiting 25 years and Sarah's initial infertility and doubt—highlighted by her laughter at bearing a child at age 90—they had a son named Isaac in their old age.

CBE International

Key Aspects of Abraham and Sarah’s Story

Names and Promise: Originally Abram and Sarai, God renamed them Abraham ("father of many") and Sarah ("princess" or "noblewoman") to signify that she would be "a mother of nations".

The Problem of Infertility: Sarah was barren, and they were very old, making the promise of a child seem impossible to them.

Hagar and Ishmael: Out of impatience, Sarah offered her servant Hagar to Abraham to produce an heir. Hagar bore Ishmael, but God affirmed that the covenant would come through a son born to Sarah.

Sarah’s Laughter and Isaac's Birth: Upon hearing she would have a child at 90, Sarah laughed in disbelief. She later gave birth to Isaac—whose name means "he laughs" or "laughter"—overcoming her doubt with joy.

Moments of Weakness: Abraham twice told kings (Pharaoh and Abimelech) that Sarah was his sister, not his wife, because he feared for his life due to her beauty, resulting in divine intervention to protect her.

Death and Legacy: Sarah died at 127 in Hebron and was buried in the Cave of Machpelah, which Abraham purchased, demonstrating his faith in God's promise of the land.

Bible Gateway

Faith and Significance

Role Model of Faith: Despite their failures and moments of doubt, both are commended in the New Testament (Hebrews 11) for their faith in God's promise.

God's Timing: The story is a key example in the Bible that God's promises are fulfilled in His time, regardless of human limitations.

Lineage: Their descendants through Isaac ultimately led to the nation of Israel.

Dame Sarah Elisabeth Mullally (née Bowser; born 26 March 1962) is an Anglican bishop and England's former chief nursing officer who has served as the 106th archbishop of Canterbury since 28 January 2026, the first woman to hold the office. As archbishop, she is the senior bishop of the Church of England and the ceremonial head of the Anglican Communion. By virtue of her position, she is also a lord spiritual, one of the 26 Church of England bishops who sit in the House of Lords.

Early life and education

Sarah Elisabeth Bowser was born on 26 March 1962 in Woking, Surrey,[1] and has two sisters and one brother.[2] She was educated at Winston Churchill Comprehensive School and subsequently at Woking Sixth Form College.[3]

When choosing her A-levels subjects, Mullally stated that she "had to think seriously what I really wanted to do. I didn't want to be a doctor because I wanted to give holistic care".[4] Her decision to pursue a career in nursing was also influenced by her Christian faith, which she has held since the age of 16.[4] In 1980, she began reading for a nursing degree at South Bank Polytechnic,[5] undertaking clinical placements at St Thomas' Hospital, and was awarded joint Registered General Nurse (RGN) status and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in 1984.[1] She completed a Master of Science (MSc) degree in inter-professional health and welfare studies at London South Bank University in 1992.[1]

Nursing career

Mullally held clinical nursing posts at St Thomas' Hospital and the Royal Marsden Hospital.[6] She subsequently held a number of nursing leadership roles, first at the former Westminster Hospital, where she was a ward sister and head of practice development, and later as director of nursing at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.[2] In 1999, she was appointed chief nursing officer and director of patient experience for England, becoming the youngest person to hold these positions.[7] She also served as a non‑executive director of the English Board of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting.[8][9]

Mullally served as an independent governor of London South Bank University between 2005 and 2015, during which time she became vice-chairperson of the board of governors and chairwoman of the policy and resources committee.[10] She was a non-executive director of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust from 2005 to 2012,[4][11] and held a non-executive role at Salisbury NHS Foundation between 2012 and 2016.[12] Mullally became a lay member of the council of King's College London in 2016.[13]

Ordained ministry

From 1998 to 2001, Mullally trained for ordained ministry on a part-time basis at the South East Institute of Theological Education (now St Augustine's College of Theology).[14][15] During this period, she also studied theology at the University of Kent, receiving a Diploma in Theology (DipTh) in 2001.[1] She was ordained in the Church of England, made a deacon at Michaelmas 2001 (30 September) at Southwark Cathedral,[16] and ordained priest the following Michaelmas (5 October 2002) at Holy Trinity, Clapham; both ordinations were conducted by Tom Butler, Bishop of Southwark.[17] From 2001 to 2004, she served her curacy as a non-stipendiary minister at the parish of Battersea Fields in the Diocese of Southwark.[1][14]

In 2004, Mullally left her position as chief nursing officer to pursue full-time ministry.[18] She then served as an assistant curate at St Saviour's Church, Battersea Fields, from 2004 to 2006.[1][19] She graduated with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in pastoral theology from Heythrop College, University of London, in 2006.[1] That same year, she became team rector of the Sutton team ministry at St Nicholas Church, Sutton, London.[14] Alongside her parish responsibilities, she taught ethics in the Diocese of Southwark, participated in an Anglican clergy leadership programme, and sat on the Church of England's dioceses commission. From 2012 to 2015, she served as canon treasurer of Salisbury Cathedral in the Diocese of Salisbury.[14][20]

Episcopal ministry

In June 2015, it was announced that Mullally would be the next bishop of Crediton, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Exeter.[21] She was consecrated bishop on 22 July 2015 by Archbishop Justin Welby at Canterbury Cathedral.[22] She and Rachel Treweek were the first women to be consecrated as bishops at Canterbury Cathedral.[23] In September 2015, Mullally became the first woman in the Church of England to lead an ordination service, ordaining two deacons, Leisa McGovern and Sheila Walker, as priests at St Mary's Church, Ottery St Mary, Devon.[24]

On 18 December 2017, it was announced that Mullally would be the next bishop of London, succeeding Richard Chartres, who had retired in February 2017.[25] The bishop of London is the third most senior bishop in the Church of England, after the archbishops of Canterbury and York.[26] Between her confirmation and installation, she was licensed as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Exeter so that she could undertake engagements related to her former see.[27] She was elected to the see by the college of canons of St Paul's Cathedral on 25 January 2018,[28] and was translated and took full legal possession of the see at the confirmation of her election on 8 March at St Mary-le-Bow. She assumed full duties upon her installation at St Paul's Cathedral on 12 May.[29] On 15 July 2020, she acted as principal consecrator at the consecration of Hugh Nelson and Ruth Bushyager to the episcopate. This represented a break with tradition, as the archbishop of Canterbury usually takes this role, and it was the first time a female bishop had led a consecration service in the Church of England.[30]

Sworn of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom on 14 March 2018,[31] Mullally was introduced to the House of Lords to sit on the Lords Spiritual benches[6] on 24 May 2018.[32] She sat by virtue of her office, as the Bishop of London is one of five Church of England bishops who automatically receive a seat in the Lords.

She succeeded Richard Chartres and became the first female dean of the Chapel Royal on 12 July 2019.[33][34] Mullally played a leading role in the 2023 coronation, one of three female prelates involved in the ceremonies.[35]

Archbishop of Canterbury

On 3 October 2025, the Church of England announced that Mullally would become the next archbishop of Canterbury, in succession to Justin Welby. As such, she is Primate of All England and the metropolitan bishop of the Province of Canterbury.[36] She is the first woman to hold the post,[37] and only the second since the Middle Ages to hold the office without a degree from Oxford or Cambridge.[38] Mullally was elected by the college of canons in December,[39] and her election was legally confirmed at St Paul's Cathedral on 28 January 2026, at which point she became Archbishop of Canterbury and ceased to be Bishop of London. She was re-introduced to the House of Lords in her new role on 5 February 2026.[40] She was formally installed at Canterbury Cathedral on 25 March, marking the beginning of her public ministry in the role.[41][42][43]

Her appointment drew opposition from some conservative Anglican groups. Within the Church of England, the conservative evangelical Church Society stated that her election "creates additional problems of disunity in the Church in England and around the world" and expressed concern regarding her views on same‑sex relationships,[44] while the traditionalist Anglo-Catholic organisation Forward in Faith, which rejects the ordination of women as priests and bishops, recognised her as the "true and lawful holder of that office".[45] Some Anglican churches, particularly in Africa, opposed her due to their stance on the ordination of women and to Mullally's views on the blessing of same-sex couples. The Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (Gafcon), a conservative Anglican group mostly based in Africa and Asia, expressed its "sorrow" at her appointment, saying that it showed that the Church of England "has relinquished its authority to lead".[46][47] Stephen Kaziimba of the Church of Uganda stated his "sadness" at her appointment due to "her support and advocacy for unbiblical positions on sexuality and same-sex marriage that reveal her departure from the historic Anglican positions that uphold the authority of Scripture for faith and life".[48][49] Other Anglican groups in Africa have supported her; Emily Onyango, the first female Anglican bishop in Kenya, said that Mullally's election indicated that "things will be done differently [...] We know there will be justice in the church".[50] Thabo Makgoba, the archbishop of Cape Town, said that Mullally's election was a "thrilling development".[50]

Views

Mullally is a self-described feminist and has ordained both men and women.[51] According to the Financial Times, she "is seen as a theological liberal".[52] She has also expressed support for the inclusion within the Church of England of those who reject the ordination of women, stating upon her announcement as the next Bishop of London: "I am very respectful of those who, for theological reasons, cannot accept my role as a priest or a bishop. My belief is that Church diversity throughout London should flourish and grow; everybody should be able to find a spiritual home."[53]

In September 2016, she became one of ten bishops to make up the church's "Bishops' reflection group on sexuality".[54] In relation to same-sex relationships, she stated in 2017: "It is a time for us to reflect on our tradition and scripture, and together say how we can offer a response that is about it being inclusive love."[53] When asked about LGBT people in the church, she added: "What we have to remember is this is about people, and the church seeks to demonstrate love to all, because it reflects the God of love, who loves everybody."[55]

In 2018, Mullally stated that she supported the Church of England's traditional teaching that marriage is between one man and one woman.[53][56] In 2022, she supported the observance of LGBT+ history month and the launch of an advisory group aimed at advising the diocese on "pastoral care and inclusion of LGBT+ people in the life of our church communities".[57] Mullally has previously described her views on abortion as favouring abortion rights, although she would lean against abortion faced with her own decision. She has said: "I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro-choice rather than pro-life although if it were a continuum I would be somewhere along it moving towards pro-life when it relates to my choice and then enabling choice when it related to others."[58] In June 2025, she opposed legislation that would extend abortion rights by decriminalising terminations in utero up to full term. Mullally acknowledged, but did not sign, an open letter from Anglican clergy that described the bill as a "dangerous change" to the law.[59]

In her address shortly after her nomination, she said: "I long for that same hope for all those around the world caught up in war. For those living in extreme poverty. For those on the front lines of the ever-worsening climate crisis. For our Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters, and all the peoples of the Middle East. For the people of Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Myanmar and the DRC. May God end the horrors of war, comfort those who mourn, and bring hope to those living in despair. And I pray especially for Anglicans in those places, as they suffer alongside the people they seek to love and care for."[60]

Personal life

In 1987, she married Eamonn Mullally, an IT and enterprise architect;[61] the couple have a daughter and a son and live in the City of London.[62][63][64] Following her appointment as Bishop of London, Mullally moved into the Old Deanery of St Paul's. She has dyslexia and has said that she finds it difficult to read out biblical genealogies.[4]

Honours

In the 2005 New Year Honours, Mullally was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in recognition of her contribution to nursing and midwifery.[65][66] The use of the honorific "Dame Sarah" is at her discretion, and it was often omitted when she was announced as the next Bishop of London in 2017.[25][6][53][67][68][69]

Mullally's academic honours include election as a fellow of London South Bank University in 2001,[70] and as a fellow of Canterbury Christ Church University in 2006.[71] She has received honorary doctorates from Bournemouth University (2004), the University of Wolverhampton (2004), the University of Hertfordshire (2005),[72] the University of Exeter (2019),[73] and the University of Plymouth (2021).

Who are the seed of Abraham?

Answer

The question “who are the seed of Abraham?” can be answered several ways, and it is important to make some distinctions. There is the Seed of Abraham (Seed being singular); there is the seed of Abraham physically (descendants of Abraham according to the flesh); and there is the seed of Abraham spiritually (those who, like Abraham, have faith in God).

The (singular) Seed of Abraham is Christ, as Galatians 3:16, quoting Genesis 12:7, says, “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.” The passage goes on to explain that an inheritance was promised to Abraham’s Seed (Christ) apart from the Law. Later, the Mosaic Law was introduced, but it did not annul the promises made to Abraham or to Abraham’s Seed (Christ).

Just as Abraham believed God and his faith was counted as righteousness (Genesis 15:6), so are all today who believe in God’s Son justified apart from the Law. In this way, Abraham is the “father” of all who believe (Romans 4:11–17). “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

Of course, the seed of Abraham can also refer to the Hebrew people who descended from Abraham through Isaac. Still more broadly, the seed of Abraham could include Arabs, who trace their lineage through Ishmael. This is the physical seed of Abraham. The spiritual seed of Abraham (believers in Jesus Christ) is comprised of people of all nationalities and ethnicities.

The Jewish religious leaders of the first century took pride in that they were Abraham’s seed. They saw their physical connection to Abraham as a guarantee of God’s favor. This attitude kept them from seeing their need for repentance of the heart—and brought condemnation from John the Baptist, who warned them to repent. Anticipating their fallback argument that they were the seed of Abraham, John said, “Do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham” (Matthew 3:9).

Jesus dealt with the same issue later. In speaking to the unbelieving Jews, Jesus emphasized their need to receive His words as truth and obey His commands. They replied, “We be Abraham’s seed” (John 8:33, KJV). Jesus then rebukes them for plotting ways to murder Him; their stubborn response was again, “Abraham is our father” (verse 39a). At this, Jesus makes a distinction between the physical seed of Abraham and the true, spiritual seed of Abraham: “If you were Abraham’s children . . . then you would do what Abraham did” (verse 39b). The conversation heats up as the Jews for a third time reference their connection to Abraham: “Are you greater than our father Abraham?” they ask Jesus (verse 53). Jesus provokes them further: “Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad” (verse 56). The Jews’ are incredulous that Jesus would claim to be a contemporary of Abraham, and that’s when Jesus brings the exchange to a climax with a claim to full deity: “Very truly I tell you, . . . before Abraham was born, I am!” (verse 58). In a fury, the Jews attempted to stone Jesus (verse 59), again proving that being the physical seed of Abraham is not enough—they had to be born again (John 3:3).

Paul sums up the difference between the seeds of Abraham in Romans 2:28–29: “A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”

Romans 4

1599 Geneva Bible

4 1 He proveth that which he said before of faith, by the example of Abraham, 3, 6 and the testimony of the Scripture: and ten times in the Chapter he beateth upon this word, Imputation.

1 What [a]shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the [b]flesh?

2 [c]For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath wherein to rejoice, but not with God.

3 [d]For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

4 [e]Now to him that [f]worketh, the wages is not [g]counted by favor, but by debt:

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth in him that [h]justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 [i]Even as David declareth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,

7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin.

9 [j]Came this [k]blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed unto Abraham for righteousness.

10 [l]How was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? not when he was circumcised, but when he was uncircumcised.

11 [m]After, he received the [n]sign of circumcision, as the [o]seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had, when he was uncircumcised, [p]that he should be the father of all them that believe, not being circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.

12 [q]And the father of circumcision, not unto them only which are of the circumcision, but unto them also that walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had when he was uncircumcised.

13 [r]For the promise that he should be the [s]heir of the world, was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the [t]Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

14 [u]For if they which are of the [v]Law, be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect.

15 [w]For the Law causeth wrath: for where no Law is, there is no transgression.

16 [x]Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the [y]seed, [z]not to that only which is of the Law: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a [aa]father of many nations) even before [ab]God whom he believed, who [ac]quickeneth the dead, and [ad]calleth those things which be not, as though they were.

18 [ae]Which Abraham above hope, believed under hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seed be.

19 And he [af]not weak in the faith, considered not his own body, which was now [ag]dead, being almost an hundred years old, neither the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

20 Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in the faith, and gave [ah]glory to God,

21 Being [ai]fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to do it.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 [aj]Now is it not written for him only, that it was imputed to him for righteousness,

24 But also for us, to whom it shall be imputed for righteousness, which believe in him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

25 Who was delivered to death for our [ak]sins, and is risen again for our justification.

Footnotes

Romans 4:1 A new argument of great weight, taken from the example of Abraham the father of all believers: And this is the proposition: if Abraham be considered in himself by his works, he hath deserved nothing wherein to rejoice with God.

Romans 4:1 By works, as appeareth in the next verse.

Romans 4:2 A preventing of an objection: Abraham may well rejoice and extol himself amongst men, but not with God.

Romans 4:3 A confirmation of the proposition: Abraham was justified by imputation of faith, therefore freely without any respect of his works.

Romans 4:4 The first proof of the confirmation, taken of contraries: to him that deserveth anything by his labor, the wages is not counted by favor, but by debt: but to him that hath done nothing, but believeth in him which promiseth freely, faith is imputed.

Romans 4:4 To him that hath deserved anything by his work.

Romans 4:4 Is not reckoned nor given him.

Romans 4:5 That maketh him which is wicked in himself, just in Christ.

Romans 4:6 Another proof of the same confirmation: David putteth blessedness in free pardon of sins, therefore justification also.

Romans 4:9 A new proposition: that this manner of justification belongeth both to uncircumcised, and also to the circumcised, as is declared in the person of Abraham.

Romans 4:9 This saying of David, wherein he pronounceth them blessed.

Romans 4:10 He proveth that it belongeth to the uncircumcised (for there was no doubt of the circumcised) in this sort: Abraham was justified in uncircumcision, therefore this justification belongeth also to the uncircumcised. Nay, it does not appertain to the circumcised in respect of the circumcision, much less are the uncircumcised shut out for their uncircumcision.

Romans 4:11 A preventing of an objection: why then was Abraham circumcised, if he were already justified? That the gift of righteousness (saith he) might be confirmed in him.

Romans 4:11 Circumcision, which is a sign: as we say, the Sacrament of Baptism, for Baptism which is a Sacrament.

Romans 4:11 Circumcision was called before a sign, in respect of the outward ceremony: now Paul showeth the force and substance of that sign, that is, to what end it is used, to wit, not only to signify, but also to seal up the righteousness of faith, whereby we come to possess Christ himself: for the holy Ghost worketh that inwardly indeed, which the Sacraments being joined with the word, do represent.

Romans 4:11 An applying of the example of Abraham to the uncircumcised believers, whose father also he maketh Abraham.

Romans 4:12 An applying of the same example, to the circumcised believers, whose father Abraham is, but yet by faith.

Romans 4:13 A reason why the seed of Abraham is to be esteemed by faith, because that Abraham himself through faith was made partaker of that promise, whereby he was made the father of all nations.

Romans 4:13 That all the nations of the world should be his children: or by the world may be understood the land of Canaan.

Romans 4:13 For works that he had done, or upon this condition that he should fulfill the Law.

Romans 4:14 A double confirmation of that reason: the one is, that the promise cannot be apprehended by the Law, and therefore it should be frustrated: the other, that the condition of faith should be joined in vain to that promise which should be apprehended by works.

Romans 4:14 If they be heirs which have fulfilled the Law.

Romans 4:15 A reason of the first confirmation, why the promise cannot be apprehended by the Law: because that the Law doth not reconcile God and us, but rather denounceth his anger against us, forsomuch as no man can observe it.

Romans 4:16 The conclusion of this argument. The salvation and justification of all the posterity of Abraham (that is, of the Church which is gathered together of all people) proceedeth of faith, which layeth hold on the promise made unto Abraham, and which promise Abraham himself first of all laid hold on.

Romans 4:16 To all the believers.

Romans 4:16 That is to say, not only of them which believe and are also circumcised according to the Law, but of them also which without circumcision, and in respect of faith only, are counted amongst the children of Abraham.

Romans 4:17 This fatherhood is spiritual, depending only upon the virtue of God, who made the promise.

Romans 4:17 Before God, that is, by a spiritual kindred, which had place before God, and maketh us acceptable to God.

Romans 4:17 Who restored to life.

Romans 4:17 With whom these things are already, which as yet are not in deed, as he that can with a word make what he will of nothing.

Romans 4:18 A description of true faith, wholly resting in the power of God, and his good will, set forth in the example of Abraham.

Romans 4:19 Very strong and constant.

Romans 4:19 Void of strength, and unmeet to get children.

Romans 4:20 Acknowledged and praised God, as most gracious and true.

Romans 4:21 A description of true faith.

Romans 4:23 The rule of justification is always one, both in Abraham and in all the faithful: that is to say, faith in God, who after that there was made a full satisfaction for our sins in Christ our mediator, raised him from the dead, that we also being justified, might be saved in him.

Romans 4:25 To pay the ransom for our sins.
