If we knew, someone would have had to kill us

Wash Post, NY Times, and Time Mag have been making sure we did not know about things for our own good:

June, 1991 – World leaders are gathered for another closed door meeting of the Bilderberg Society in Baden Baden, Germany. While at that meeting, David Rockefeller said in a speech:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.

But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” [Italics added]

Egad, these guys nuts, or what?

Later, Reader D.:

Too bad the Times and Post don’t use the same restraint over US military secrets they happen upon.

Five years old and nuts already

Locations of Ivy League Conference full member...
The Ivies

It’s people like this who give Ivy League professors a bad name:

April 1972 In his keynote address to the Association for Childhood Education International, Chester M. Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University, proclaims: Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being. It’s up to you, teachers, to make all of these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.

Go for it, Teach.

BTW, have some sources?

None Dare Call It Education, by John A. Stormer, 1998, pages 70 and 155. Also: Bill Clinton: Friend or Foe? by Ann Wilson, 1993, 1994, page 174. Also: Brave New Schools, by Berit Kjos, 1973, 1980, 1982, page 160. Also: Set Up and Sold Out, by Holly Swanson, 1995, page 130.

Soros and the culture of death

The world according to book-author Richard Poe is a world full of George Soros.  Poe is like the guy who taps on your shoulder, asks if you want to look at some feelthy pictures.  His pictures are filthy, but he doesn’t make the sale.

He made his pitch Friday 9/11 at the monthly Catholic Citizens of Illinois luncheon at the Union League Club, where the fish gave me instant heartburn.  So did Poe, whose The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party, co-authored with red-diaper baby David Horowitz, was available for purchase.

He sold me on buying the book — from ABE Books, cut-rate as usual — mainly with the purpose of seeing how well he makes his case in print.  I do know that when I asked him how and when the multi-billionaire currency speculator and hedge-fund manager Soros — “the Man Who Broke the Bank of England,” after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis — supported Obama, he offered no details.  I wasn’t badgering him, just looking for details of what is otherwise clear to me, Poe having brought it up in his speech  That’s where the devil is, right?  I like to smoke Satan out, preferring to know the enemy as well as possible.

Where, then, is Soros?  Per Poe, in the forty bodies of critical-care patients found in New Orleans after Katrina, put down by doctors and nurses, some of whom freely admitted it and were praised and were not convicted for it.  One was the doc, a “palliative care” expert, who described the patient who wouldn’t die from repeated injections — “He wouldn’t stop breathing” — until in desperation the old-fashioned method was employed: firm pressure of pillow to mouth and nose.  See what I mean about feelthy?

Palliative care, also called “comfort care”?  Poe: Soros gave it a boost in 1994 by throwing millions at The Project on Death in America, which funded palliative care training programs in hospitals throughout the nation.  In this he had the help of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, whch aims “to improve the health and health care of all Americans. . . . help our society transform itself for the better.” 

The founder Johnson is of Johnson & Johnson — think Band-Aids, Tylenol, Listerine, Visine, etc.  I recommend J&J products, as I recommend Catholic teaching about non-requirement of extraordinary means in keeping someone alive — something Poe never mentioned, being basically a muckraker and not a student of such matters.

Soros is a man with a plan, Poe explained.  His Open Society Institute, “building vibrant and tolerant democracies” per its site, is a worldwide network of cells and action centers which get into the thick of things, said Poe, such as coups and takeovers and, as the Soviet Union collapsed, the sale of government-owned assets — for a song, to selected “investors,” including himself. 

He doesn’t act alone, said Poe.  Of $300 million that funded MoveOn.org, his left-wing organization-cum-major web presence, he gave only $21 million.  Other rich men follow his lead, which he takes from the United Nations, said Poe.  He has no original ideas, except his life philosophy, developed as a kid under German rule and to this day governing his behavior: no rules when survival is threatened — and he feels threatened all the time, said Poe.

Meanwhile, in the U.S. Soros has his causes, all related to the 1973 new world order aimed at denuding America of its presumed excessive share of the world’s riches, cutting it down to the size of the wretched of the earth.  To which end he promotes (funds) shadow Catholic organizations such as the pro-abortion Catholics for Choice and Catholics United and the inter-denominational United Religions Initiative founded in 1996 by an Episcopal bishop and intended as a one-size-fits-all religious counterpart to the United Nations.

His projects also include planks of the leftist platform such as gun-control, repeal of don’t-ask-don’t-tell in the military — opposed in writing by thousands of generals, said Poe — and McCain and Feingold’s campaign-finance legislation, toward which Soros contributed millions in “bribes,” said Poe, who added that Wis. Sen. Feingold had once been tabbed by Saul Alinsky as a good candidate.

Don’t look for this stuff in mainline media, Poe advises.  Neither on the WorldWide Web, I have found, which is the trouble with his presentation — gossipy, sensational (making us wonder if sensationalized), inflammatory.  I, for one, was inflamed by it, and had to break away from the dining room as soon as he finished, suffering overload of feelthy-picture data grimly and desperately presented.  I look ahead to the book, when I can do a little sifting of wheat from chaff.

Bishop leaving town

This bishop goes into hiding:

BRUSSELS–Belgium’s disgraced bishop Roger Vangheluwe will go into seclusion away from the diocese of Bruges, where a paedophilia scandal forced his April resignation, the Belgian press reported Sunday.

In a statement issued by the Belgian bishop’s conference, Vangheluwe, 73, said he was leaving the Westvleteren abbey where he had sought refuge for several months to withdraw “to another place, away from the Bruges diocese.”

Vangheluwe was the first Belgian bishop to resign in April after admitting to sexually abusing his nephew between 1973 and 1986 in a wave of pedophile scandals that has rocked the Catholic Church since last November.

“I will continue in discretion to ponder my life and my future,” he said.

Sackcloth and ashes.

Ointments for all

Wheeling Jesuit University anointed the hands of its 2010 Doctor of Physical Therapy graduates as it celebrated the newest group of professional physical therapists on Friday, Aug. 27.

. . . .

The Rev. Donald Serva, S.J. opened the formal pinning and anointing ceremony with a prayer at the ceremony, held in Troy Theater. Interim WJU President Sister Frances Marie Thrailkill, OSU, was an honored guest at the ceremony, along with faculty, friends, family and WJU’s Interim Director of Physical Therapy Mark Drnach. Serva performed the anointing.

Anointing?  Once very special in Catholic circles, for priests and bishops, not to mention as a sacrament, now for physical therapists at graduation?  Not bizarre?
 
For PT’s it’s a, shall we say, consecrated phrase.  But wouldn’t a Catholic institution be somewhat reluctant to make a graduation ceremony out of it?
 
Later, Reader D:
I agree, it is somehow trivializing or minimizing the sacred ceremony of anointing . . . . This is the Improv Church. Goes along with the concept of priesthood of the laity. At a certain point, the symbolism becomes confusion and laity will think there is no such thing as the Order of Melchisadech, and Father Ted or Joe or Tim may agree with them.
Rather, a misunderstood priesthood of laity?
