Savvy, living just south of Chicago I had heard nothing of the protest outside of the cathedral. When I did a search, I saw that the local television station, WGN, carried the story for 28 seconds and the Chicago Tribune had a small story. Neither mentioned that the protesters blocked entrance to the cathedral steps and the police refused to enforce the law. While the name of the organizations doing the protesting were in the news, the name of the group doing a counter-protest was not given. I found that quite interesting on several levels.
Just another case of news spin, this time in Chicago.

We need to take back the West from the experts. It was the experts who could not distinguish between a natural law and a positive one that once argued that blacks were inferior to whites or that eugenics was scientific. Thomas Aquinas was one of the first people to trash these experts.

Thanks to Farmer, for noticing that a certain picture (see second link) was removed from the Justus Lipsius building, on 2/24/11, the same day as IDEX's reception for a special guest (see above); the following photo headlines the EU observer, 2/1/11, which may help to de-legitimize a current EU leader:
"They also 'discussed the importance of transforming the EU's approach to the region and agreed that an early European Council (or summit) was needed to consider further EU action on Libya.'"
Fwiw, Mr. Herb Peters originally surmised (albeit incorrectly, but perhaps still relevant) that WEU emergency powers might be instituted in the spring EU Council meeting, June 2010.

However, the EU as a whole lacks a cohesive security force..."
Except for the 10-nation modified Brussels Treaty Powers, aka the Western European Union (WEU).

Mideast Quartet due in Israel in bid to restart peace talks

To elaborate on one of your cover stories, here is World Net Daily's version 03/01/11):
Judges: People have only 'qualified' right to Christianity Judges rule promoting homosexuality mandatory for foster parents
A court ruling has found that Christians who want to provide foster care for needy children must promote homosexuality to them and that there is only a "qualified" right to exercise their Christian beliefs.
The judgment comes in a claim by a Christian couple that their biblical beliefs in opposition to homosexual behavior were being used by the government to discriminate against them regarding their application to be foster parents.
The couple, Eunice and Owen Johns, previously had provided foster care in the United Kingdom and had applied to resume their work, but suddenly became the target of government rejection because they expressed their Christian beliefs regarding homosexuality.

What can be expected from this conference which is also being promoted by Illinois Family Institute. http://www.americanvision.com/products/American-Vision%27s-2nd-Annual-Midwest-Conference.html
http://tinyurl.com/4q23c23
It's called the Family and Dominion Conference. Does it have something to do with Dominion theology?

France and Britain seek 'bold and ambitious' Libya measures 03 March 2011, 18:12 CET
(PARIS) - France and Britain want to put "bold and ambitious measures" to next week's emergency European Union summit on the Libyan crisis, British Foreign Minister William Hague said on Thursday..."We also agreed the international community including us and other partners will continue to plan for different contingencies,..."I continue to hold the view that the speediest way to bring about an end to the bloodshed is for Colonel Kadhafi to leave," he added, while warning that if the Libyan leader clings on he may face military action.
EU hoists its sails as Arab winds of change grow stronger
Published: 03 March 2011
Ahead of a special EU summit on Libya and the South Mediterranean next week, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso described the unfolding events as “a rendez-vous with history”…
On the conference with IFI, the MacDonalds and Swanson do have ties with Doug Phillips and Vision Forum. I am not completely convinced that Phillips and his organization are not Dominion outright. But having done the research I have, I say that they at least lean that way. And at the very least may be promoting it without knowing.
Iran Playing A Pivotal Role In A "New" Middle East
Iran now says a new Middle East indeed is on the way, but one with the Islamic Republic as its axis.
"Iran's pivotal role in the new Middle East is undeniable," Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Politburo Chief General Yadollah Javani said on Monday,
"Today the Islamic Revolution of the Iranian nation enjoys such a power, honor and respect in the world that all nations and governments wish to have such a ruling system," he added.
Just two days after two Iranian warships reached the Syrian port of Latakia via the Suez Canal, Friday, Feb. 25, an Iranian-Syrian naval cooperation accord was signed providing for Iran to build its first Mediterranean naval base at the Syrian port, Debkafile's military and Iranian sources reveal.
The base will include a large Iranian Revolutionary Guards weapons depot stocked with hardware chosen by the IRGC subject to prior notification to Damascus. Latakia harbor will be deepened, widened and provided with new "coastal installations" to accommodate the large warships and submarines destined to use these facilities.
It sure feels like God's timetable is in the high gear. I feel very sure that Iran is going to play a major role in the last days. Irans president is determined to do whatever it takes to usher in the muslim messiah. The scary thing is that the muslim messiah sounds ominously like the antichrist in Revelation.
If I missed this on previous threads I apologize, but I did not see any news about the official appointment of Pierre Vinmont as Secretary General of newly created EEAS arm of EU. Has anyone seen the powers that will be given to this individual in the future?
I posted about this several months ago but really got no response, maybe because it was not about Solana, Creme, Soros etc.
Hey Susanna, another Sarkozy crony appointed to very high profile and very powerful position. I know you all dismiss Sarkozy rather easily on this blog, but remember I posted previously that Van Rumpoy's term ends one month after Sarkozy's term as president ends. If he does not decide to run for re-election in France and this coincides with ending term for EU President......well.... those of you who dismiss him, I still say, KEEP your eyes on him.
REAL POWER IN EUROPE -- EU MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX http://tinyurl.com/4wxnqyu
I could not help but notice that Javier Solana is in a position of TOP LEADERSHIP on this. His various deputies and cabinet members, Cristina Gallach, Robert Cooper, Jamie Shea, etc. are on its board.
It looks to me like the real shadow government of Europe!
"A report issued by a Vienna-based human rights watchdog group has tracked five years of anti-Christian incidents across Europe and says that there is a growing recognition at the institutional level of discrimination and intolerance towards believing Christians."
I am anon 11:35. I am not so big on Solana anymore as I feel his expiration date has passed, although I do feel he warrants MUCH watching. But....the EU presidency changes hands in a little over a year from now and I think we will see the real power then (Van Rumpooy was just a puppet basically handpicked by Merkel and Sarkozy) someone with much more clout.
Do you think it is possible to see Solana in this position? Anything is possible,and he would be a perfect fit, wouldn't he? I was even surprised after doing google search of articles and images that he and Sarkozy have had some quite "chummy" gatherings in the past that I was not aware of and surprised me a bit. So... I am not counting out Solana, we may see him in this position. I think it is a possibility that is certainly valid. What do you think?
When we get close to the scent, they sometimes change the terminology. "World Government" becomes "Global Governance." Then "Global Governance" becomes "Global Civil Society." Here's one of their latest attempts to advance things by "EDUCATION."
Hard to say. If he's "The Dude," the prophecy is pretty clear that "a vile person shall arise to whom THEY SHALL NOT GIVE THE HONOR OF THE KINGDOM . . ."
"HE SHALL COME IN PEACEABLY WITH THE AID OF A FEW AND OBTAIN THE KINGDOM BY FLATTERIES . . ."
But then again, there have been wannabes to this in the past and it is possible for the foreseeable future. Again, your guess is as good as mine, but I still maintain that with Solana there are too many "coincidences" to rule him out.
Remember, Ronald Reagan didn't start his presidential career until he was in his 70's. We still giggle over his campaign remark that "I am not going to hold my opponent's youth and inexperience against him . . ."
Here is a PROPAGANDA FILM about "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT" worthy of Goebbels. You can watch it on Youtube and I recommend you save it by going to this tinyurl link:
It was 30 years ago that Afghanistan greatly diminished Russia. With some of the recent news, we are on the same path. Hamid Karzai said he would not accept the USA apology for killing 9 civilians. I'm not sure I disagree with his decision.
Another distinguished Spanish commentator who says Javier Solana is the GRANDSON of SALVADOR DE MADARIAGA:
F re d o Ar i a s -Ki n g i s f o u n d e r o f t h e a c a d emi c q u a r t e r l y Demokratizatsiaya: The Journal of Post-Soviet Democratization, published since 1992 in Washington, DC. He is an analyst with two regional think tanks: CEON (Miami) and CADAL (Buenos Aires). He is author of the book Transiciones: La experiencia de Europa del Este.
He says, in part:
In any case, Spain’s perceived right to tutelage may be misplaced. As Spanish thinker (and a founder of the Liberal International) Salvador de Madariaga would say, Latin America is not the child of Spain, but instead, Latin America plus today’s Spain are the offspring of a Spain that has long ago ceased to exist. His grandson, the EU high representative Javier Solana, has wisely heeded this advice and shown congruence towards Latin America—unlike the newer generation of his fellow Spanish Socialists.
House gives final approval to abortion requirement
AUSTIN, Texas — A measure requiring women in Texas to get a sonogram before ending a pregnancy has passed the House.
The measure was adopted tentatively last week and Monday's 107-42 vote was largely procedural.
Democrats, who last week used procedural maneuvers to try to derail debate, were largely silent Monday as the measure passed without debate or discussion.
The legislation would require many women who want an abortion — even victims of sexual assault — to have an ultrasound probe inserted into their uteruses at least 24 hours before the procedure.
The Senate has passed a less stringent version and the two bills must be reconciled before going to Perry for his signature.
The vote was largely along party lines, with only a handful of Democrats voting for it.
Crater collapse sends lava spewing from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano...
Lava from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano was shooting as high as 80 feet in the air Sunday after the collapse of the floor of the volcano's Pu'u 'O'o crater a day earlier.
Hawaii Volcano Observatory scientists said the floor of the crater dropped 377 feet over almost three hours on Saturday and a fissure developed between the Pu'u 'O'o and Napau craters on Kilauea.
The lava lake on Kilauea's summit has drop since the collapse, scientists said in a press release Sunday.
The volcano observatory was set up a webcam to provide updated still images of the erupting fissure and the Puu Oo crater.
Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii and perhaps the world's most active, according to the volcano observatory. The current activity is a continuation of an eruption that began in 1983.
Kilauea, the home of Hawaii's goddess of fire Pele, has erupted 34 times since 1952.
Headlining with “Spain seeks Arab support for military intervention in Libya,” El País reports that Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero...However, at the start of a “crucial” week that will be marked by the Brussels meeting of NATO defence ministers on 10 March and a summit of EU leaders the following day, the international community remains very divided.

ReplyDelete03 March 2011, 18:12 CET
(PARIS) - France and Britain want to put "bold and ambitious measures" to next week's emergency European Union summit on the Libyan crisis, British Foreign Minister William Hague said on Thursday..."We also agreed the international community including us and other partners will continue to plan for different contingencies,..."I continue to hold the view that the speediest way to bring about an end to the bloodshed is for Colonel Kadhafi to leave," he added, while warning that if the Libyan leader clings on he may face military action.

Ahead of a special EU summit on Libya and the South Mediterranean next week, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso described the unfolding events as “a rendez-vous with history”…

On the conference with IFI, the MacDonalds and Swanson do have ties with Doug Phillips and Vision Forum.
ReplyDeleteI am not completely convinced that Phillips and his organization are not Dominion outright. But having done the research I have, I say that they at least lean that way. And at the very least may be promoting it without knowing.

ReplyDeleteIran Playing A Pivotal Role In A "New" Middle East
Iran now says a new Middle East indeed is on the way, but one with the Islamic Republic as its axis.
"Iran's pivotal role in the new Middle East is undeniable," Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Politburo Chief General Yadollah Javani said on Monday,
"Today the Islamic Revolution of the Iranian nation enjoys such a power, honor and respect in the world that all nations and governments wish to have such a ruling system," he added.
Iran To Build Permanent Naval Base In Syria
ReplyDeleteJust two days after two Iranian warships reached the Syrian port of Latakia via the Suez Canal, Friday, Feb. 25, an Iranian-Syrian naval cooperation accord was signed providing for Iran to build its first Mediterranean naval base at the Syrian port, Debkafile's military and Iranian sources reveal.
The base will include a large Iranian Revolutionary Guards weapons depot stocked with hardware chosen by the IRGC subject to prior notification to Damascus. Latakia harbor will be deepened, widened and provided with new "coastal installations" to accommodate the large warships and submarines destined to use these facilities.
It sure feels like God's timetable is in the high gear. I feel very sure that Iran is going to play a major role in the last days. Irans president is determined to do whatever it takes to usher in the muslim messiah. The scary thing is that the muslim messiah sounds ominously like the antichrist in Revelation.
ReplyDeleteIf I missed this on previous threads I apologize, but I did not see any news about the official appointment of Pierre Vinmont as Secretary General of newly created EEAS arm of EU. Has anyone seen the powers that will be given to this individual in the future?
ReplyDeleteI posted about this several months ago but really got no response, maybe because it was not about Solana, Creme, Soros etc.
Hey Susanna, another Sarkozy crony appointed to very high profile and very powerful position. I know you all dismiss Sarkozy rather easily on this blog, but remember I posted previously that Van Rumpoy's term ends one month after Sarkozy's term as president ends. If he does not decide to run for re-election in France and this coincides with ending term for EU President......well.... those of you who dismiss him, I still say, KEEP your eyes on him.

ReplyDeleteREAL POWER IN EUROPE -- EU MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
http://tinyurl.com/4wxnqyu
I could not help but notice that Javier Solana is in a position of TOP LEADERSHIP on this. His various deputies and cabinet members, Cristina Gallach, Robert Cooper, Jamie Shea, etc. are on its board.
It looks to me like the real shadow government of Europe!

ReplyDeleteI am anon 11:35. I am not so big on Solana anymore as I feel his expiration date has passed, although I do feel he warrants MUCH watching. But....the EU presidency changes hands in a little over a year from now and I think we will see the real power then (Van Rumpooy was just a puppet basically handpicked by Merkel and Sarkozy) someone with much more clout.
Do you think it is possible to see Solana in this position? Anything is possible,and he would be a perfect fit, wouldn't he? I was even surprised after doing google search of articles and images that he and Sarkozy have had some quite "chummy" gatherings in the past that I was not aware of and surprised me a bit. So... I am not counting out Solana, we may see him in this position. I think it is a possibility that is certainly valid. What do you think?
When we get close to the scent, they sometimes change the terminology. "World Government" becomes "Global Governance." Then "Global Governance" becomes "Global Civil Society." Here's one of their latest attempts to advance things by "EDUCATION."

Hard to say. If he's "The Dude," the prophecy is pretty clear that "a vile person shall arise to whom THEY SHALL NOT GIVE THE HONOR OF THE KINGDOM . . ."
ReplyDelete"HE SHALL COME IN PEACEABLY WITH THE AID OF A FEW AND OBTAIN THE KINGDOM BY FLATTERIES . . ."
But then again, there have been wannabes to this in the past and it is possible for the foreseeable future. Again, your guess is as good as mine, but I still maintain that with Solana there are too many "coincidences" to rule him out.
Remember, Ronald Reagan didn't start his presidential career until he was in his 70's. We still giggle over his campaign remark that "I am not going to hold my opponent's youth and inexperience against him . . ."

Another distinguished Spanish commentator who says Javier Solana is the GRANDSON of SALVADOR DE MADARIAGA:
ReplyDeleteF re d o Ar i a s -Ki n g i s f o u n d e r o f t h e a c a d emi c q u a r t e r l y
Demokratizatsiaya: The Journal of Post-Soviet Democratization,
published since 1992 in Washington, DC. He is an analyst with two
regional think tanks: CEON (Miami) and CADAL (Buenos Aires). He
is author of the book Transiciones: La experiencia de Europa del Este.
He says, in part:
In any case, Spain’s perceived right to tutelage may be
misplaced. As Spanish thinker (and a founder of the Liberal
International) Salvador de Madariaga would say, Latin
America is not the child of Spain, but instead, Latin America
plus today’s Spain are the offspring of a Spain that has long
ago ceased to exist. His grandson, the EU high representative
Javier Solana, has wisely heeded this advice and shown
congruence towards Latin America—unlike the newer
generation of his fellow Spanish Socialists.

Houston Chronicle (03/07/11):
ReplyDeleteHouse gives final approval to abortion requirement
AUSTIN, Texas — A measure requiring women in Texas to get a sonogram before ending a pregnancy has passed the House.
The measure was adopted tentatively last week and Monday's 107-42 vote was largely procedural.
Democrats, who last week used procedural maneuvers to try to derail debate, were largely silent Monday as the measure passed without debate or discussion.
The legislation would require many women who want an abortion — even victims of sexual assault — to have an ultrasound probe inserted into their uteruses at least 24 hours before the procedure.
The Senate has passed a less stringent version and the two bills must be reconciled before going to Perry for his signature.
The vote was largely along party lines, with only a handful of Democrats voting for it.

Crater collapse sends lava spewing from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano...
ReplyDeleteLava from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano was shooting as high as 80 feet in the air Sunday after the collapse of the floor of the volcano's Pu'u 'O'o crater a day earlier.
Hawaii Volcano Observatory scientists said the floor of the crater dropped 377 feet over almost three hours on Saturday and a fissure developed between the Pu'u 'O'o and Napau craters on Kilauea.
The lava lake on Kilauea's summit has drop since the collapse, scientists said in a press release Sunday.
The volcano observatory was set up a webcam to provide updated still images of the erupting fissure and the Puu Oo crater.
Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii and perhaps the world's most active, according to the volcano observatory. The current activity is a continuation of an eruption that began in 1983.
Kilauea, the home of Hawaii's goddess of fire Pele, has erupted 34 times since 1952.
