‘Corporatism. The most important claim made by fascism was that it alone could offer the creative prospect of a ‘third way’ between capitalism and socialism.

Comic Book Fascist Britain Fiddles Fag FiguresPublished: 24/08/2010

Disclaimer: All words herein are merely made of 0s and 1s and opinions, thus completely fictional, unless you give it energy, then a can of worms will appear.

First let’s get the definition of Fascism out of the way for all those who don’t know, E.G. Noel O’Sullivan’s five major themes of fascism are:

“Corporatism, revolution, the leader principle, messianic faith, and autarky. The Fascism Reader by Aristotle A. Kallis says, ‘Corporatism. The most important claim made by fascism was that it alone could offer the creative prospect of a ‘third way’ between capitalism and socialism. Adolf Hitler, in Mein Kampf, spoke enthusiastically about the ‘National Socialist corporative idea’ as one that would eventually ‘take the place of ruinous class warfare’; whilst Benito Mussolini, in typically extravagant fashion, declared that ‘the Corporative System is destined to become the civilization of the twentieth century.’”

Judge Dredd’s ‘America’, from the famous 2000AD comics, tells the story of the Fascist Mega City One (not unlike Great Britain) from the point of view of the citizens. Dredd’s strong monologues, in which he eulogises about rights, freedom and the Law’s place in society, illustrates that they deeply believe in what they’re doing and is prepared to back up their beliefs with reasonable arguments and huge force. The story plunges into chaos, as the Judges can’t win their battle against humanity’s need to be free and unrestrained from responsibility.

British people are spun propaganda every single day about how we need to ‘Do The Right Thing’, which is governed by legislation for every part of our lives. Schooling is a perfect example of how it literally takes 18 years to deprogram the human side out of kids, so they become ‘mature’ and accept the machine’s new program.

The poignant aspect of Judge Dredd is that many of the things that were predicted in the Judge Dredd comics are now reality, as Alan Grant from Judge Dredd explains:

“In Mega City one, we had the Judge’s banning smacking, which has come to pass; we’ve had the Judge’s ban smoking, which has happened across Europe; we had them banning white refined sugar, which hasn’t actually happened yet, particularly in the fight against obesity; we had them banning coffee because it is also an addictive drug… [Even though there was a Smokertorium in Mega City One], it is fairer than what’s actually happened in Europe now.”

This passage was taken from an abstract interview on Newsnight on whether or not we live in Mega City One or Great Britain. This excellent interview directly resonates with a stink going on in the media about banning smoking around children. Professor Steve Field talks about how smoking near children, especially in cars, is a ‘form of child abuse.’

This is backed up by the incredibly fiddled YouGov poll commissioned by The Faculty of Public Health (FPH),

“The overwhelming majority of the British public now support a ban on smoking in cars carrying children… Three quarters of Britons want new rules for cars with children travelling in them.”

This false statistic is all over the media with the FPH’s name next to it and they are parading the utter lies across their website (see above), which can only be described as overwhelming to cover the real truth behind their ‘fact’ and their funding and their questionable charity status, they say,

“Subscriptions of members, but also from investment income, examination fees and educational conferences.”

The ‘self-supporting’ FPH is a registered charity and a good proportion of their income is from poor students and State doctors; NHS budgets; and ‘selling on’ cheap doctors from abroad. But one of the shadier parts of FPH is who’s included in their ‘Ethical Investment Policy’, surely the following companies can’t be described as ethical?

• Aviva
• Glaxo SmithKline
• HSBC
• RBS
• Royal Dutch Shell
• Tesco
• UK Government stocks
• EU investment bank
• A full list can be obtained here

This smoking ban campaign being pushed by the FPH and trumpeted by Chief Judge Dredd, Professor Field, is somehow being supported by the media who seem to be not doing their jobs, i.e. dig around for perspective. It’s obvious an expensive survey was commissioned to a company, i.e. YouGov, who then subcontracted it to a pestering teleresearch company; and a skinny latte drinking PR agency was probably paid to push the press release’s angle.

The use of the word ‘fiddled’ doesn’t come lightly because it’s not the figures that have been fiddled, it’s the perception of the Public through the calculated misguidance of the report. Neither the media nor the FPH mentioned that only 1,448 people were surveyed to come up with the ‘fact’ that most Britons want this particular smoking ban. The report is buried deep inside YouGov website and can be found here. If the population of Great Britain is 61,792,000, give or take 1/5 of children, that’s 49,433,600. This means that only 0.0029291817711030554% of Britons were asked this question. But only 0.002167594510616261% of Britons truly oppose people smoking in cars with children around.

If this isn’t a classic case of corrupt political lobbying through using the media and marketing to distort the Public’s opinion then what is? Professor John Britton, chairman of Royal College’s tobacco advisory group, one of the many shills and Judge Dredd’s working on this agenda says,

“Society’s views about the acceptability of smoking must be changed and the easiest way to do this is a blanket ban in cars and vans.”

Don’t forget the FPH is a charity and charities by definition:

“…cannot be directly political. The definition of political here is far wider than party political and includes campaigning. A charity cannot trade, unless this is very closely associated with its primary purpose.”

In a nutshell, we have a charity that is directly lobbying the Government through the use of a manipulated and bogus campaign distributed via the media; trading money for shares with some of the biggest non-related corporations in Great Britain; and employing investment companies to ‘wisely’ trade in stocks for them.

Alan Grant also makes a very good point about smoking and passive smoking and that if it was a cause of death then why is it not on Death Certificates? He goes onto say,

“If people want to do something, there isn’t really anything Government’s can do to stop them. They can do it up to a point, but if somebody wanted to smoke in the street and the Government said ‘no’ how would they stop them? Put them in jail? It seems to be a draconian measure to take for a cigarette.”

Simon Clark, Director of the smokers’ lobby group Forest, also said:

“These proposals go way beyond what is acceptable in a free society.”

The Government seem to be sitting this one out as they watch their ever-increasing taskforce of Quangos and Third Sector organisations to do their political bidding for them, which is going exactly to plan… The ‘Third Way’… Fascism.

Alan Grant predicts that the next things to be banned will be:

• Free speech
• Ability to travel will be severely reduced under the guise of global warming
• Taxes will be increased to mitigate ‘global warming’

But who would have guessed the prediction that Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster would ever make it out of the comic book into reality?

   We were standing as freemen in Runcorn magistrates court last month when the District Judge shouted in very Dredd-ist style “This is MY court”, before storming out and proving that indeed it wasn’t HER court. I read 2000ad fanatically as a teenager and was reminded of JD’s line – I AM THE LAW.

   I reckon that alcohol will be the next thing to be banned in the UK. People say never yet think about it. People have been smoking long before alcohol was ever drunk and that’s gone. If people are against the smoking ban and drink in pubs they should buy all cigarettes/tobacco from countries that don’t have bans instead of funding the ban here.

   I did find that quite amusing where the interviewer asked “You really don’t think we live in a fascist state?” This is more brainwashing within society, or else it’s merely the reality that many journalists, working for the media, on ridiculous salaries are completely oblivious to real life because it doesn’t affect them whatsoever.

   britain is a fascist state. it’s that simple. we’re fascist in both the definition in which he gives that “the state is everything” and also in the mussolini model of “corporatism” you have only to look at the money supply and the recent bailouts and now the “austerity” measures britons face today to see that i am correct.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY- WE DESERVE AT LEAST ONE!!

WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CHILDRENS SCHOOL’S???????

OUR SCHOOLS!!

Project Caressing. Can you see what is happening here, our children are being programmed to hug and caress anyone and everyone who opens their arms to the children. As a parent I would teach my children to ‘CHOOSE’ who they should offer love, and certainly not on demand of any creepy potential paedophile. Remember people these are our children being programmed to offer what is for the family, to all and sundry on demand. Now I am not trying to tell you what to think I am giving my own opinion as a parent, and I do not like this one bit. This is training our children to trust anybody and everybody who opens their arms, and gives the paedophiles one hell of an excuse in court as to their behaviour when caught out, see it people :

HERE.

Now Teens and Toddlers comes under the umbrella of a larger charity which Peter Hein connects with the UK branch, COUI; Children Our Ultimate Investment, which must be seen in the context the elite are talking, the ultimate investment for the Fourth Riech. Here is were it gets interesting, because the founder is none other than Laura Huxley wife of the Tavistock Institute operative, LSD supplier and eugenicist :

Aldous Huxley, with some very interesting close family members; Huxley was the author of ‘A Brave New World’, amongst many other books. In a letter written to George Orwell in 1949 21 October; he congratulating Orwell on “how fine and how profoundly important the book is.” In his letter to Orwell, he predicted that “Within the next generation I believe that the world’s leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience.”. And as we can see with the smoking ban and such legislation our society in relation to clubs and groups of people, patrons to drinking establishments and such, the destruction of which.. is moving apace. Little known is the fact that the Huxley’s are from the Darwin – Wedgewood bloodlines, and for five generations before Charles Darwin, every Darwin male married only a Wedgewood bride to create the ‘Guardian Elite’ of the Greek philosopher Plato. The Huxleys are from this family and themselves intermarry, so they truly believe in this super elite garbage.

Anyone considering exercising and/or protecting their democratic rights, and/or trying to change the world into a better place would benefit from reading the Activist Security Handbook.

Written by UK activists who have successfully campaigned for over a decade in the face of increasing repression from the state and corporations, it was first published in 2004 and reprinted in 2008, so there are aspects that could be a little more up to date. That’s more than made up for by the excellent tried and tested information and advice across a range of subjects such as:

• Dealing with infiltrators
• Security For Actions
• Security for Demonstrations
• Personal Security
• Surveillance
• Computer Security & Internet Privacy
• UK Legal Issues

et cetera, et cetera

I highly recommend it. It can be freely downloaded (pdf), so why not check it out. As I’ve said, there are aspects to it that could be updated. If you feel you have something to offer in the way of up-to-date input (like how to avoid getting kettled!), get in touch with the producers at info@activistsecurity.org (H/T CentreofthePsyclone)

Revolution is coming. Its just a case of when and where it begins, so be prepared. Protest is not just for Students & Unions, this revolution is going to be for everyone, especially the voters and taxpayers. And it can be done without violence or destruction, it just needs the will, the people on the streets and a determination to say no more.

p.s. An activist is anyone who actively works for or takes part in political activity. Yup, even David Cameron is an activist, so don’t let the police and media fool you into believing that its only morons who smash things up who are activists.

The SS Mullah School Dresden, “The Imam Institute,” and Islamic anti-Semitism

The SS Mullah School Dresden, “The Imam Institute,” and Islamic anti-Semitism

Much thanks to Roger, who was visiting Dresden, Germany, recently and took an excellent audio tour of sites related to the Jewish Holocaust. He sent me a link to the recordings.

Please listen to the clip concerning an SS school for Mullahs that existed there in 1944, set up by Himmler and Muslim leader Al-Husseini. The recording is about 11 m long.

The Islamic world aligned with The Third Reich, an alliance that has largely been whitewashed from the pages of history. The Nazis were given no such free pass, and shouldn’t have been; why has the Islamic alliance with them been ignored?

Many Muslims fought on the German side during World War II. The Wehrmacht had six legions with a Muslim majority and the SS had three Muslim divisions, a brigade and a Waffenbrigade. Each Muslim unit got a mullah as an adviser. In November 1944, an SS mullah school was established in Dresden, founded by Himmler.

http://www.audioscript.net/en/1_05.html Listen to it.

If anyone out there could transcribe, I would be deeply grateful. Please scroll my previous posts on Islam’s role in the Shoah.

The SS-Mullah School and the Association of Turkestan in Dresden
Posted by:  Titus Steering
 
A short chapter in a strange kind of understanding in Germany, the establishment of institutions for for the training of Islamic chaplain in the Army and the Waffen-SS dar.
During World War II on German side fought for different reasons, many Muslims.  It was often common enemy (communism, Jews) or to escape a pragmatic collaboration and the desire of a prisoner of war marked by deadly famine, the Muslims led to the German side.  However, she is in the motif of “flight” from the camps is still the question why some prisoners of war to the construction and supply units and others reported to the armed units.
 
Ideological whip this alliance was the notorious anti-Semite, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (1893-1974), who as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem had a certain religious authority.  The Muslims from the Soviet Union (Azerbajan, Crimea and Volga Tatars, North Caucasians, Bashkir, Uzbek and other Central Asian peoples) wer with other members of non-Russian minority peoples of the Soviet Union (Armenians, Georgians, Ukrainians) in the armed forces as may be determined Ostlegionen, in which only Non-Russians were.  They were recruited mainly among Soviet prisoners of war.
 
 
Later, Soviet Muslims also served in the Waffen-SS units, such as 1st Ostmuselmanisches SS regiment with the weapon groups “Idel-Ural”, “Turkestan” and “Crimea” that was established in 1943 to model the Ostlegiionen.  By war’s end, there was next to several majority Muslim SS division, whose members came mostly from the Balkans.  These were the Bosniak ’13 Waffen-SS Mountain Division dagger “(named after the Arabic term for a scimitar), the Albanian ’21 Weapons Mountain Division of the SS Skanderberg “and the Albanian” 23 Weapons Mountain Division of SS Kama”, but did not have stock.  Furthermore, there was an “Arab Legion”, which was in January 1942 formed with the approval of Hitler of British prisoners of war and probably of 6,000 Arab and North African Muslims was (Anton Maegerle/Herbert Schiedel), and there were even smaller Arab SS units.  Most Muslim SS units but came from the Balkans.  On 10/02/1943 Himmler allowed the establishment of a Waffen-SS unit of Muslims from the Balkans.
 
Overall, there was the German Wehrmacht six majority Muslim legions, and the SS three divisions, a brigade and a weapons Association (MS Abdullah:35) with a majority Muslim members.  At least from the Waffen-SS units serious warcrimes at the “anti-partisan warfare in the Balkans are know.  Particularly in eastern Bosnia, the area of origin of most hand-divisional troop members, the unit set up in 1943/44 of “Operation Lightening Orb” a bloodbath (W. Oschlies).
 
The officers of the Muslim units were mostly so-called “ethnic German”, that members of German-speaking minorities.  From the SS Headquarters was the work of imams in the individual battalions approved and confirmed compliance with the Islamic dietary laws.  Even the observance of Muslim funeral rites has been granted (J. Hoffman: 139).  Each unit was also a young Muslim Mufti as a spiritual adviser.  Muslim chaplains are often trained but had yet to come.
 
This happened in June 1944 in 14-day later, 3- to 4-week Imam or Mullah courses at the Islamic Studies Bertold Spuler (1911-1990) at the Islamic Institute of the University of Göttingen (J. Hoffman: 139).  In the six courses each, held 30-40 Legionnaires in Muslim theological knowledge and ritualism of Islam were taught.  Language of instruction was mainly Turkish (J. Hoffmann: 140) in addition to religious content and often had some little existing knowledge of Arabic can be improved.  It often cme from these courses on inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflicts and tensions.  Spuler therefore recommended, for example, the separation of Shiites and Sunnis (P. Heine: 234).  In 1944, schools for the training set up by Muslim military chaplain.
 
It speaks for the ideological blindness of the Nazis that were also takenin the near defeat of yet tackled such projects.  On the other hand, this time from a human plight out against the “Aryan” elite understanding just recruited Muslims.   Politically, it was for their home regions very different schedules, the Bosnian Muslims remain under the rule of the croatian Ustasha government (W. Oschlies), there was the fantastic plans for Central Asia of an independent United Turkestan (P. Heine: 236; J. Hoffmann: 107).  With the approach of the front lines in Germany, such considerations were increasingly unlikely, but apparently also planned to sell units was behind the line to fan in the rear under the non-Russian population revolts.  In the capital, Berlin, meanwhile, has hosted several national governments emigration, such as the  “unit Nationalturkestanische Committee (NTEK).
 
Chairman of the NTEK 1942-1945 was bornin 1905 in Bukhara Weli Khajum Khan.  He introduced, sponsored by the influential ideologues Rosenberg, in August 1942 the committee together.  Written NTEK organ was the magazine “National Turestan”, which initially has a circulation of 15,000 and most recently in a print run of 80,000 copies was published (FV Seidel:  278).  After the war came “National Turkestan” way back as a journal of the surviving Muslim Nazi collaborators from Central Asia government.
 
In addition to an on 21.04.1944 in Guben opened Imam School (Mufti papers:212.213), it was in November 1944 in Dresden, one at the behest of the Nazi leader and chief Heinrich Himmler founded SS Mullah school especially for so-called “Russia Turks”, ie Muslims the territory of the USSR, who served in the SS (J. Hoffmann: 142).  These were organized specifically in the “eastern Turkey Federation weapons” and “weapons Caucausian organization ” within the SS.
 
Based on this device was  a pre-existing “Association eV Turkestan”.  This working group was established in January 1944 in the framework of the “German Oriental Society (DMG) was founded.  The Association had two addresses, one in Berlin and one in Dresden, and more specifically on Taschenberg 3 Dresden in the inner city.
 
The headquarters of the Association in the middle of the city is expected from the bombing of Dresden on 13th February 1945 have been affected severely.
 
Managing Director of the Dresden office of the Association was a certain Dr. Korad Schlons (Bl. Brentjes:157).  Equipped with the Association of stolen goods (eg books) from Riga, Tartu (Estonia), Holland or Paris (B.l Brentjes: 158) was.   The working group was divided into nine working areas (geography and transport, soil science and geology, climatology and agriculture, folklore, folk art, Islam, folklore, mediciine, lieterature), which were led by eight professors and a doctor.  Some of these should have been according to the researchers Burchard Brentjes earlier foreign agents.
 
As part of the military service of the Humanities, the AG was primarliy military and political purposes, such as the geographic support the Air Force (H. Kißmehl: 150).  The  objectives of the founding of this institution can also be recognized that, although officially the DMG has been assigned, but actually as the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) – Office was VI group G associated research institute (H. Kißmehl: 145), which was also funded by the RSHA (B. Brentjes: 157).  The RSHA Amt VI was responsible for espionage abroad, so was the “Security Service (SD) of actually lead actor (B. Brentjes: 153/54) at the end of 1943, establishing the already planned facilites (B. Brentjes: 154).  For the direct instructions of teh SD DMG was the AG under the established “for the > AG thus <a neutral appearance public to the “as the former SS-Sturmbannführer Dr. Rainer Olzscha to Walter Schellenberg, head the Foreign Intelligence Service of the RSHA, writes (to B. Brentjes: 154).  Among the employees in the group and from Turkestan dating Ostlegionen or members of the Waffen SS and SD or prisoner of war camps.  This was aware of camouflage dressed in civil (as Brentjes: 155).  Chaplain of the Muslim SS units were formed since March 1944 by the “Association of Turkestan” in  Dresden was founded and its affliated School for the training of mullahs for turkotataischen and Caucasian volunteer untis of the SS “(MS Abdullah: 35) .  The Mullah school was officially opened until six months later, on 11.25.1944 with an address by the SS officer Walter Schellenberg.  thanked by telegram from Dresden, the aforementioned Grand Mufti Hussein at 27.11.  Himmler:
“At the opening of the Imam of the Easter Turks Institute in Dresden, for their keen interest inthe Islamic-German cooperation is to be regarded as another character.  I submit to you the sincere thanks and best wishes of the Muslims).  [spelling in the original] “(Mufti papers:229
 
The training of Muslim religious defense should feed into the spiritual authoritiees in the home countries of the Muslim units pro-German.  Unlike the courses in Göttingen was in Dresden for Shiites and Sunnis a unified educational program, while the aforementioned Spuler protested (J. Hoffmann:  142).  A possible indicator of the involved in the founding of the school Turkestan AG can also be found in the policies of the Nazis Jewish chronicler Victor Klemperer.  Klemperer notes in his diary entry of his 12th  November 1944:
“With her, now lives a comer of interpreter of the Crimea, which is now at the Lorraine border road 2 home Moslem group [obviously Crimean Tatars], the mysterious, service has done or still does. ”
 
The Lorraine was then Route 2 in Dresden to the so-called “Jewish houses”.  Houses of former Jewish owners had to live where most of the remaining Jews packed together.  Maybe it is a part of the above-mentioned working group or toan independent Crimean Tatar grop in the Waffen SS or Wehrmacht.  From a total of 200,000 living on the Crimean Tatars at least 20,000 volunteers served in “Tatar formations” on the German side (J. Hoffmann: 39-50).  In 1944 an attempt ws evacuated from (Crimean) Tatars in Hungary to form a mountain brigade of the Waffen-SS (J. Hoffman: 50).  The school itself is likely to have survived the massive bombing in February, not unscathed.  In the subsequent chaos in any case is likely not a meaningful education for the approximately 50 students (B. Brentjes: 157) have taken
place anymore.  Against the war in any case the labor community fled with 70 relatives from the approaching front and met on 02/23/1945 in White Rock.   Prominent members such as the medical officer and SS Lieutenant Olzscha Rainer, who headed the SS Skin Official D workspace voluntary associations, went into U.S. custody.   Whether the consorium members as other Nazi scientists  were soon in the beginning of the cold war on the Allied side use is uncertain.
 
Dresden was not, moreover, theonly city in the Saxony, the Grand Mufti was staying longer.   He lived because of the bomb threat in Berlin in the summer of 1944 to April 1945 as a personal guest of Hitler along with his staff of about 60 Arabs (FV Seidel: 266) in the small spa town of eastern Saxony Oybin.  After the war, fled the Muslims who had fought during the Second World War on the German side as far as possible in the zones of the Western Allies.  Her they were the group of so-called Muslim refugees and settled down here, especially in the south and particularly in Swiss francs, or were settled there.
 
This group organized itself in founded in 1951 in Munich “Spiritual Administration of Muslim refugees in the Federal Republic of Germany”, a type of care association for former members of the Wehrmacht Muslim faith.  The church adminstration organized in Nuremberg, Neu-Ulm, Augsburg, Pforzheim, Erlangen, Bamberg, Waldkrailburg, Schwabach, Forchheim,  Dieburg and Osnabruck religious education for Muslim children.  For Nuremberg and Munich, there were also two imams.  The body of the spiritual administration was the magazine “Al-Muhajiround (The Refugees).  In contrast to later Muslim groups, this almost completely assimilated into the majority population.

Transcript for Particles of Resentment
The SS mullah school in Dresden and Islamic Antisemitism

During the second world war, the waffen SS developed from an ideological and military unit made up exclusively of German soldiers into a multi-ethnic army.   Many Muslims fought on the German side during World War II for a variety of reasons.  Often, it was a common conception of who the enemy was, or there were more pragmatic forms of collaboration that led  Muslims to join the Wehrmacht or the SS.  All together the Wehrmacht had six legions with the Muslim majority, while the SS had three divisions, a brigade and a Waffen-Verband or mixed unit whose members were for the most part Muslims.   The Muslims fighting in the so called Eastern legions of the Wehrmacht included Azerbajanis, Crimean and Volga Tartars, North Caucasions, Bashkiris and Uzbeks.  They were recruited mainly from Soviet prisoners of war.
Serious war crimes are known to have been committed by the Muslim Bosnian Waffen SS units during the so-called partisan combat in the Balkans.
SS headquarters permitted the involvement of  imams, the Islamic prayer leaders in the individual battalions and promised that Islamic dietary rules would be respected.  Compliance with Muslim funeral rights was also granted.  As a result, each Muslim unit got a mullah, an Islamic preacher or clergyman as an advisor.
As a rule, however, the Muslim Army clergymen had to be trained first.  As a result, in November, 1944 an SS mullah school was founded in Dresden especially for Muslims from the area of the USSR.  Within the SS, they were organized into an East Turkish and a Caucasion Waffen-Verband.
==========================================
01:52   The two authors of the feature about the SS mullah school are in conversation.  They are engaged in research about the cooperation between Muslims and the National Socialists and about today’s Islamic anti-semitism.
==========================================
02:10 (sound of typing) (sigh) “I can’t get any further.  I just can’t find any sources on the SS Mullah school in Dresden apart from this article at Shoa.de (see link below) there isn’t any literature on the SS mullah school in Dresden .  No films or photographic material, no autobiographical reports.  It’s as if it never existed.
========================================
02:38  At least this article says there was a mullah school in Dresden, from November 1944.  It was founded on the initiative of SS leader Heinrich Himmler.  So-called Russian Turks were trained there before going on to serve in the SS.  The institution was based on the association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Turkestanifal.  The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Turkestanifal had two addresses, one in Berlin and one in Taschenberg 3 in Dresden City Center.
==========================================
03:11
You could argue about the effect of an SS mullah school for so-called Russian Turks founded at the end of 1944.  It seems to me that radio shortwave stations broadcasting for instance from a place called Zeesen to the south of Berlin were more important and influential.  Political scientist and publicist, Matthias Küntzel writes, ” it broadcast a daily relic language program to the Middle East since 1939.  No other station enjoyed a greater degree of popularity than this Nazi station broadcast from Zeesen between 1939 and 1945.  Here anti-semetic tirades were interspersed with quotes from the qur’an and Arab music.  Program highlights at Radio Zeesen included calls for jihad by the most popular figure in the Arab Islamic world of the time, the mufti of Jerusalem – Amin el-Husseini who lived in Berlin between 1941 and 1945.  Nobody promoted hatred of the Jews among Muslims more successfully than him and influenced the early history of the Middle East conflict at the same time
.”
============================================
4:18  The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.  Okay.  He is mentioned in connection with the Dresden SS mullah school.  The known facts are very limited, however.  The existence of the school is proven by two sources. Parallel to a diary entry of Victor Klemperer, there’s also a quote by Titus Lenke from a telegram from which Grand Mufti Amin el-Husseini thanks Himmler for the foundation of the SS mullah school on the 27th of November in 1944.  I quote:  “On the occassion of the opening of the Imam Institute of the Eastern Turks in Dresden another sign for your great interest in Islamic-German cooperation, I would like to express the sincere gratitude and best regards of the Muslims.”
===========================================
5:04   Matthias Küntzel writes here that this form of cooperation between National Socialists and Muslims had already started as early as 1937.  The trigger was the suggestion made by the British Peel Commission to divide the Palestinian Mandate Territory into a small Jewish state and a larger Muslim Arab state.  He goes on to write that this plan immediately led to protest by the National Socialists.  They postulated, ‘ the formation of a Jewish state is not in the German interest but rather a strengthening of Arabism as a counter balance to the increasing power of Judaism. ‘ 
===========================================
5:44  What did Heinrich Himmler and Grand Mufti Amin el-Husseini have to do with each other?  Oh, here, Küntzel again.  “Heinrich Himmler enthused about the ideological bond between National Socialism and Islam. ”   He also introduced  the term, “Muselgermanen” and el-Husseini pointed out the ideological similarities between Muslims and Germans.  These were said to include obedience and discipline, the will to battle, and the honor of falling in battle, community, family and offspring, the glorification of labor and creating, and relations to the Jews.  The Mufti declared, ‘in fighting Judaism, Islam and the Nazis are coming very close to one another.’
=============================================
6:35  But, things weren’t always like that.  While Christian anti-semitism is characterized by the idea of a supposed Jewish threat,  Jews in the Islamic world are treated with nothing worse than condescension.  In the eyes of the Muslims, the idea of the Jews of all people could possibly become a danger to them or to the world appeared absurd.
===============================================
6:57  Hmmmm.   Well, that would mean that the racist antisemitism and above all the hallucination of a Jewish World conspiracy were of European origin and were exported from Europe to the Arab world. 
===============================================
07:10  Well today, more than sixty years later we have to deal with a dangerous situation which is described by anti-semitism researcher Robert Wistrich as follows:  “there is a culture of hate which
has in the meantime come to pervade everything – books, periodicals, newspapers, sermons, video cassette, the internet, radio and television throughout the entire Arab Middle East.  Contentious images of Jews and Israelis can be found everywhere in political public life in Islam.  They combined myths of ritual murder from midieval Europe with the conspiracy theories of the Nazis and slanderous Islamic quotations about Jews as being ‘ sons of monkeys and donkeys’. 
==============================================
07:58  Despite all this one can still read here and there that the solution to the Middle East conflict might possibly weaken anti-semitism in the neighboring  states. =================================================
8:07  Yes, that is one line of speculation but hatred against Jews goes way beyond a territorial conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.  Isn’t this antisemitism driven by another motive?
As Robert Wistrich writes: ” a delusional idea that history is dominated by the wicked intrigues of the Jewish people and stories too absurd to be believed and spread.
===================================================
8:34  And another popular part of the picture is  that America is in Jewish hands.  Hmmm.  To continue with Robert Wistrich:  “the jihad for the world wide liberation of the Muslims from oppression and injustice is therefore at the same time to be seen as both an anti-Jewish and an anti-American struggle.”  And somewhere else, Wistrich describes the ” antisemitic hysteria of the Islamists as paranoid distrust against the modern secular civilization. ” 
==================================================
9:06 Yeah.   However, what is also interesting is that a special understanding for the anti-semitism in Arab countries is being shown in Germany today.  Again,  Matthias Küntzel writes, “the distinctively unconcerned attitude towards the Islamists hatred of the Jews is significant for the German discourse.  While antisemitism articulated in German public provokes indignation, the same antisemitism, when articulated by Muslims is seen as a response to the Middle East conflict and does trivialize,  orcompletely ignored.”
==================================================
9:41  Aha.  And the silence about Islamic antisemitism also includes staying silent about it’s origins and national socialism. 
=================================================
9:48  Keeping quiet is very popular here.  On the other hand, rumor mongering is also very popular.  One common trend in the Arab world is the equation of Israeli politics with the National Socialist crimes committed against the Jews.
================================================
10:03  And can such comparisons be heard over and over again in Germany too?  Terms such as ‘war of aggression’, ‘war of annhilation’, ‘total war’ and ‘Palestinian gettos’.  In my opinion, the Nazi comparisons offer a welcome possibility to come to terms with the uncomfortable German history.
If one makes the descendants of the survivors of the Holocaust into perpetrators today, it comes as a comfortable form of relief for the German descendants because the level of guilt can be reduced if the former victims are today cast  in the role of perpetrators.
==================================================
10:36  The rejection of guilt and longing for relief has many faces.  Some thought it a good idea to compare Sharon with Hitler and others cannot stop persistently claiming that racism in Israel still has a magnanimous enough to allow Israel it’s right to it’s existence.  Just a second.  Here, I marked a passage that points to this doubtful concession.  From the essay, “Forgiveness” by Vladimir Jankélévitch,[1967: Le pardon, (tr. into English as Forgiveness by Andrew Kelley, 2005)] “Antisemitism is a great offence against human beings in general.  The Jews were persecuted because it was them and not at all because of their opinions or their faith.  It was existence itself that was denied them.  They were not reproached for professing this or that.  They were reproached for being.  To a certain degree, this refusal extends even today to the existence of the State of Israel.  It is an immense concession and unmeritted gift and belief conferred on Israel and according it the r
ight to exist.  As a fact, recognition is an elementary and vital right that every human being ought to respect in every other human being.  And this without negotiations of any kind without any claim to gratitude.

Matthias Kuntzel has written a recent book about Islamic antisemitism, unfortunately not yet available in English. However, he seems to have got something very wrong. It is his view that Muslim Arabs appropriated Jew hatred from the Nazis,inheriting their deranged and irrational world Jewish conspiracy theories from the Germans. For anyone with a knowledge of Islam, this is patently untrue. Islamic antisemitism is there to see in the Koran, the Hadith and in Mohammed’s murderous behaviour and teachings. Muslim Jew hatred has existed for 1400 years, running parallel with European Christian antisemitism. Muslims were not indoctrinated by the Nazis. They collaborated with them because they shared the same views. It is not the case that this collaboration iniated a wave of Islamic antisemitism. It already existed. It is true though that the antisemitic imagery found in cartoons in the Arab media is influenced by Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda and caricatures such as was evident in Der Sturmer. But the hate was already there, rooted in Islamic ideology.

It’s not so simple when you consider that nazi-type anti-Semitism pre-existed the founding of the nazi party by at least one thousand years.
When anti-Semitic groups get together, it’s only natural that they exchange beliefs and imagery to reenforce their shared hatred.

This is why some of the anti-Semitic imagery being trafficked in the Arab world has it origin in Central and Eastern Europe. It doesn’t mean that the nazis, or the czarists before them invented anti-Semitism.

BTW-I think the Gospels are part history and part hearsay. I think there probably were a lot of gospels and they got narrowed down. I think the sign over Jesus’ head is history because it has no agenda for being there. On other things, such as the violence at the arrest of Jesus, where he puts a guy’s cut-off ear back on is embellishment-hearsay.

But I think there was some kind of violence and Jesus did quell it by warning that those who live by the sword died by the sword. In any case, Jesus was not a Moe.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/live_by_the_sword,_die_by_the_sword

“King James Version of the Bible, Gospel of Matthew, 26:52

Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.”

“It is his view that Muslim Arabs appropriated Jew hatred from the Nazis,inheriting their deranged and irrational world Jewish conspiracy theories from the Germans. For anyone with a knowledge of Islam, this is patently untrue.”-roger

It’s part of the Left’s nutty-narrative that has Arabs as “victims” of Western colonialism after the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WW1. It’s as if Jew-hating was a post WW1 phenomena in the Mideast. Actually it goes back to Moe and is institutionalized in the Qu’ran.

The West has a history of antisemitism (America, for an assortment of reasons, has been given mercy from Gd re the Jew-hating madness), and Christ has been used by State and political interests in Europe to further a Jew-hating agenda. But there is nothing in the teachings of Jesus that recommend Jew-hating. Jesus was Jewish, his followers were Jewish, and the Romans put a sign over his cross in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek that said “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” (that’s Jew-hating on an Islamic-Nazi scale. Maybe the Romans were Muslims?).

I was brought up Catholic and know that it is Catholic teaching that the Jewish people have a “special covenant” with Gd. (I think that’s also true for most other Christian groups.) Islam’s antisemitism is part of its creed. Only the “tolerance” folks are in la-la land re that. The Qu’ran is a “religious” Mein Kampf.

You are right, and from what I have read the reason Hitler hated the Jews so much is because his mother had an affair with a Jewish postman. When he needed something to bind the German people to the Nazi government he used the pre-existing anti-Semitism.

“The Islamic world aligned with The Third Reich, an alliance that has largely been whitewashed from the pages of history. The Nazis were given no such free pass, and shouldn’t have been; why has the Islamic alliance with them been ignored?”-Pamela

It’s ironic that people who lived in the WW2 era knew, as we do not know now, that there was a Muslim-Nazi alliance against the West and Russia. Stalin was aware of the alliance. Just after the war ended (5/8/1945) he singled out “the Great Russians” (read non-Muslim Slavs) for bringing victory, deliberately complimenting them for saving “Mother Russia.” (Churchill said “the Russians tore the guts out” of the Nazi armies.)

The Muslims in Chechnya and elsewhere were not singled out by Stalin for such pointed compliments-that’s for sure. Stalin was someone who weighed his words very carefully.

The end of the war saw a divided Europe and there was great fear in the US that all Europe would fall into the Soviet zone. The Nazi-Muslim alliance was buried by Cold War concerns and the need for oil by the US, Western Europe and Japan. Nazis and Muslims were made “allies” by the West (while Muslims were sought as allies in the Mideast by the former USSR).

The end of the Cold War has brought a renewal of unfinished business from WW2. The center of this Jew-hating totalitarian ideology that fueled the Nazi-Muslim alliance is not Berlin anymore. It’s Mecca. The Nazi-Muslim equation has been reversed. Now Muslims lead and direct the attacks against the West and Russia. (Nazis are now the “auxiliary” divisions.)

Since the Cold War ended in roughly 1990 we appear to be in Act II of WW2, with the theater shifting to the Mideast. The second World War is not over, and it can still be lost, and there could even be another Jewish Holocaust-this time in the Mideast.

Hither and the Muffy (aka Mufti) are not dead yet.

Transcript for Particles of Resentment
The SS mullah school in Dresden and Islamic Antisemitism

During the second world war, the waffen SS developed from an ideological and military unit made up exclusively of German soldiers into a multi-ethnic army. Many Muslims fought on the German side during World War II for a variety of reasons. Often, it was a common conception of who the enemy was, or there were more pragmatic forms of collaboration that led Muslims to join the Wehrmacht or the SS. All together the Wehrmacht had six legions with the Muslim majority, while the SS had three divisions, a brigade and a Waffen-Verband or mixed unit whose members were for the most part Muslims. The Muslims fighting in the so called Eastern legions of the Wehrmacht included Azerbajanis, Crimean and Volga Tartars, North Caucasions, Bashkiris and Uzbeks. They were recruited mainly from Soviet prisoners of war.
Serious war crimes are known to have been committed by the Muslim Bosnian Waffen SS units during the so-called partisan combat in the Balkans.
SS headquarters permitted the involvement of imams, the Islamic prayer leaders in the individual battalions and promised that Islamic dietary rules would be respected. Compliance with Muslim funeral rights was also granted. As a result, each Muslim unit got a mullah, an Islamic preacher or clergyman as an advisor.
As a rule, however, the Muslim Army clergymen had to be trained first. As a result, in November, 1944 an SS mullah school was founded in Dresden especially for Muslims from the area of the USSR. Within the SS, they were organized into an East Turkish and a Caucasion Waffen-Verband.

==========================================
01:52 The two authors of the feature about the SS mullah school are in conversation. They are engaged in research about the cooperation between Muslims and the National Socialists and about today’s Islamic anti-semitism.
==========================================
02:10 (sound of typing) (sigh) “I can’t get any further. I just can’t find any sources on the SS Mullah school in Dresden apart from this article at Shoa.de (see link below) there isn’t any literature on the SS mullah school in Dresden . No films or photographic material, no autobiographical reports. It’s as if it never existed.

So-called Russian Turks were trained there before going on to serve in the SS. The institution was based on the association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Turkestanifal. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Turkestanifal had two addresses, one in Berlin and one in Taschenberg 3 in Dresden City Center.
==========================================
03:11
You could argue about the effect of an SS mullah school for so-called Russian Turks founded at the end of 1944. It seems to me that radio shortwave stations broadcasting for instance from a place called Zeesen to the south of Berlin were more important and influential. Political scientist and publicist, Matthias Küntzel writes, ” it broadcast a daily relic language program to the Middle East since 1939. No other station enjoyed a greater degree of popularity than this Nazi station broadcast from Zeesen between 1939 and 1945. Here anti-semetic tirades were interspersed with quotes from the qur’an and Arab music. Program highlights at Radio Zeesen included calls for jihad by the most popular figure in the Arab Islamic world of the time, the mufti of Jerusalem – Amin el-Husseini who lived in Berlin between 1941 and 1945. Nobody promoted hatred of the Jews among Muslims more successfully than him and influenced the early history of the Middle East conflict at the same time.”
============================================
4:18 The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Okay. He is mentioned in connection with the Dresden SS mullah school. The known facts are very limited, however. The existence of the school is proven by two sources. Parallel to a diary entry of Victor Klemperer, there’s also a quote by Titus Lenke from a telegram from which Grand Mufti Amin el-Husseini thanks Himmler for the foundation of the SS mullah school on the 27th of November in 1944. I quote: “On the occassion of the opening of the Imam Institute of the Eastern Turks in Dresden another sign for your great interest in Islamic-German cooperation, I would like to express the sincere gratitude and best regards of the Muslims.”
===========================================
5:04 Matthias Küntzel writes here that this form of cooperation between National Socialists and Muslims had already started as early as 1937. The trigger was the suggestion made by the British Peel Commission to divide the Palestinian Mandate Territory into a small Jewish state and a larger Muslim Arab state. He goes on to write that this plan immediately led to protest by the National Socialists. They postulated, ‘ the formation of a Jewish state is not in the German interest but rather a strengthening of Arabism as a counter balance to the increasing power of Judaism. ‘
===========================================
5:44 What did Heinrich Himmler and Grand Mufti Amin el-Husseini have to do with each other? Oh, here, Küntzel again. “Heinrich Himmler enthused about the ideological bond between National Socialism and Islam. ” He also introduced the term, “Muselgermanen” and el-Husseini pointed out the ideological similarities between Muslims and Germans. These were said to include obedience and discipline, the will to battle, and the honor of falling in battle, community, family and offspring, the glorification of labor and creating, and relations to the Jews. The Mufti declared, ‘in fighting Judaism, Islam and the Nazis are coming very close to one another.’
=============================================
6:35 But, things weren’t always like that. While Christian anti-semitism is characterized by the idea of a supposed Jewish threat, Jews in the Islamic world are treated with nothing worse than condescension.

CRAZY WORLD INIT?

We have known supporters of Nazism calling the BNP Nazi

We even fund them from the Tax take!

Right Wing?

Nazism was Left Wing- National Socialism!!

Sir Iqbal’s homophobic views, and the MCB’s opposition to gay equality, echo the prejudice and discrimination of the BNP.“Unite Against Fascism would not collude with racists or anti-Semites. It should not collude with homophobes either,” added Mr Tatchell.

Saturday’s Unite Against Fascism conference is sponsored by the South East Region of the TUC, Unison, Amicus, PCS, CWU, NATFHE and the National Assembly Against Racism.

In a letter of protest sent to the Unite Against Fascism conference organisers, OutRage! wrote:

“We want a broad alliance against the BNP. We support an alliance with the Muslim community. But we do not believe it appropriate for an anti-fascist movement to build alliances with homophobic hate-mongerers like Sir Iqbal and the MCB. We urge an alliance with liberal and left Muslims.

“We urge you to withdraw your invitation to Sir Iqbal and the MCB, and instead invite a progressive Muslim speaker, such as Ziauddin Sardar, Sheikh Dr Muhammad Yusuf or Munira Mirza.

“The MCB is not a liberal, progressive organisation. It represents only conservative, reactionary opinion. It is not a suitable partner organisation for the movement against fascism.

“On every gay human rights issue, the MCB has actively campaigned in favour of discrimination. It opposed an equal age of consent, legal rights for same-sex couples and the outlawing of homophobic discrimination in the workplace. The MCB also backed the retention of Section 28 and a ban on gay couples fostering or adopting children.

“One of the reasons the MCB refuses to participate in Holocaust Memorial Day is because it objects to the ceremony including a commemoration of what it dismisses as ‘the so-called gay genocide.’ The MCB appears to regard the murder of gay people in Nazi death camps as unworthy of remembrance.

“This year’s Festival of Muslim Cultures is being funded by the Home Office and the British Council. Its aim is to showcase the diversity and richness of Muslim communities. The MCB has succeeded in demanding that the festival excludes lesbian and gay Muslims,” said OutRage!’s letter to the UAF.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED AS NAZISM THE FORCED WEARING OF YELLOW BADGES!!

The use of distinctive clothing or marks for Jewish and other religious communities has been traced by historians to ancient times.^[2] In the early Islamic period, non-Muslims were required to wear distinctive marks in public, such as metal seals fixed around their necks. Tattooing and branding of slaves and captives were widespread in the ancient world. However, Islam, like Judaism, forbids permanent skin markings. ^[3] Likewise, they were not allowed to wear colors associated with Islam, particularly green.^[4] The practice of physically branding Jews and Christians appears to have been begun in early medieval Baghdad and was considered highly degrading.^[5] According to Bernard Lewis, Christians and Jews were forced to wear special emblems on their clothes. The yellow badge was first introduced by a caliph in Baghdad in the 9th century, and spread to the West in medieval times. Even in public baths, non-Muslims wore medallions suspended from cords around their necks so no one would mistake them for Muslims. Belts, headgear, shoes, armbands and/or cloth patches were also used. Under Shi’a rules, they were not even allowed to use the same baths ^[6] In 1005 the Jews of Egypt were ordered to wear bells on their garments.^[7]Apart from Jews, Hindus living under Islamic rule in India were often forced to wear yellow badges as well. During the reign of Akbar the Great, his general Husain Khan ‘Tukriya’ forcibly made Hindus wear discriminatory yellow badges^[8] on their shoulders or sleeves.^[9]

L’Italie a demandé à la Commission européenne de retirer l’agenda distribué aux écoliers, qui ignore les seules fêtes chrétiennes. Italy has asked the European Commission to withdraw the agenda distributed to schoolchildren, which ignores the only Christian holidays. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères Franco Frattini a déclaré que cet agenda était « indécent » , et que, non seulement il était offensant pour tous les chrétiens dans le monde, mais qu’en outre il était contraire à la liberté religieuse et à la dignité des religions qui sont un fondement de l’Union européenne. The Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said that this agenda was “indecent,” and that he was not only offensive to all Christians in the world, but also that it was contrary to religious freedom and the dignity of religions that are a foundation of the European Union.

Social Tagging: Equateur • Pologne Social Tagging: Ecuador • Poland

Le Père Miroslaw Karczewski, 45 ans, qui appartenait à l’Ordre des Frères mineurs conventuels (OFM conv), a été tué dans l’après-midi du lundi 6 décembre au presbytère de la paroisse de Saint Antoine de Padoue de Santo Domingo de Los Colorados, dans le Nord de l’Equateur, à 300 kilomètres de Quito. Father Miroslaw Karczewski, 45, who belonged to the Order of Friars Minor Conventual (OFM Conv), was killed in the afternoon of Monday, December 6 at the rectory of the parish of Saint Anthony of Padua in Santo Domingo los Colorados, in the north of the Equator, 300 miles from Quito. Le prêtre appartenait à la Province polonaise de l’Ordre des Frères mineurs et travaillait depuis cinq ans dans la paroisse de Santo Domingo de Los Colorados dans la province de Tsáchila. The priest belonged to the Polish Province of the Order of Friars Minor and worked for five years in the parish of Santo Domingo de Los Colorados in the province of Tsachila.

Selon les informations recueillies par l’agence Fides, le prêtre devait célébrer la messe à 19h mais ne s’est pas présenté. According to information gathered by Fides, the priest was celebrating Mass at 19h but did not attend. C’est ainsi que les paroissiens, qui s’étaient rendus au presbytère pour le chercher, l’ont trouvé mort. Thus the parishioners, who had gone to the rectory to find him, found him dead.

Le Père Juan Luna, responsable des Franciscains en Equateur, a indiqué dans une déclaration que le prêtre portait des coupures sur le cou et sur d’autres parties du corps, ce qui laisse penser qu’il a lutté avec son assassin . Father Juan Luna, head of the Franciscans in Ecuador, said in a statement that the priest wore on his neck and cuts on other parts of the body, suggesting he has struggled with her killer. Il semble que le Père Mirek était seul lorsqu’il a ouvert la porte de la cure à son agresseur. It seems that Father Mirek was alone when he opened the door of the rectory to the abuser. Après l’avoir tué, en le frappant avec un grand crucifix, les malfaiteurs ont volé le téléphone portable et l’ordinateur du prêtre. After killing him by hitting him with a large crucifix, the criminals had stolen the mobile phone and computer of the priest. Ce dernier avait déjà été agressé voici un an, chez lui, et avait vu le visage des criminels qui avaient menacé de le tuer s’il portait plainte contre eux. He had been assaulted a year ago, his home and saw the faces of criminals who had threatened to kill him if he filed a complaint against them.

De la Curie généralice des OFM conv., on apprend que Frère Miroslaw appartenait à la Province Saint Maximilien Kolbe (Pologne – Gdansk). General Curia of the OFM Conv. We learn that Brother Miroslaw belonged to the Province of St. Maximilian Kolbe (Poland – Gdansk). Né en 1965 à Polczyn Zdrój, il avait été ordonné prêtre en 1993 à Koszalin. Born in 1965 in Połczyn Zdrój, he was ordained priest in 1993 in Koszalin. Après l’ordination, il avait travaillé pendant deux ans au couvent de Saint Maximilien à Gdynia et, en 1995, il était parti pour l’Equateur. After ordination, he worked for two years at the convent of St. Maximilian in Gdynia and in 1995 he left for Ecuador. Dernièrement, il était devenu le gardien du couvent de Saint Antoine de Padoue à Santo Domingo de los Colorados. Recently, he became the guardian of the convent of Saint Anthony of Padua in Santo Domingo de los Colorados.

S’il s’agissait d’une mosquée, cette information provoquerait immédiatement [à juste titre, NDLR] le grand émoi et la profonde indignation des professionnels de l’antiracisme. If this were a mosque, this information would immediately [rightly Ed] the great emotion and indignation professionals antiracism.

Marc Fromager : la fin des chrétiens d’Orient signifierait « la fin de toute ouverture et le rejet de l’altérité » Marc Cheese: The End of Eastern Christians would mean “the end of any opening and rejection of otherness”

Social Tagging: Europe • Islam • Moyen-Orient Social Tagging: Europe • Islam • Middle East

Dans Valeurs Actuelles de jeudi 23 décembre , Marc Fromager, le directeur de l’ Aide à l’Eglise en détresse ( site ), écrit : In the current values of Thursday, December 23 , Marc Cheese, director of Aid to the Church in Need ( site ), wrote :

« Les chrétiens sont menacés un peu partout ( ils sont les principales victimes de l’absence de liberté religieuse dans le monde ), mais leur situation au Moyen-Orient est particulièrement dramatique . “Christians are threatened everywhere (they are the main victims of the lack of religious freedom in the world), but their situation in the Middle East is particularly dramatic. Or leur survie, puisque c’est de cela qu’il s’agit, est indispensable pour tous les acteurs concernés. Yet their survival, since it is what it is, is essential for all stakeholders.

Tout d’abord, les chrétiens d’Orient eux-mêmes : si leur terre (ils y sont depuis deux mille ans) leur est enlevée, combien de temps pourront-ils conserver ce qui fait leur spécificité, qui est une richesse pour eux mais aussi pour leurs concitoyens et pour l’Église tout entière ? First, the Eastern Christians themselves: if their land (they are for two thousand years) they are removed, how long can they keep what makes them unique, which is an asset for them but also for their fellow citizens and for the whole Church?

Ensuite, leurs concitoyens justement, majoritairement musulmans : même si les extrémistes rêvent à voix haute de se débarrasser des chrétiens, les musulmans seront-ils plus heureux pour autant ? Then, their fellow citizens precisely, mostly Muslims, even if the extremists are dreaming out loud to get rid of Christians, Muslims will they be happier so far? Cela signera la fin de toute ouverture et le rejet de l’altérité, qui est pourtant présente au milieu d’eux, ne serait-ce qu’entre sunnites et chiites . This was the end of any opening and rejection of otherness, which is nevertheless present in their midst, if only between Sunnis and Shiites.

Troisième “acteur” : les chrétiens d’Occident. Third “actor”: the Christian West. La disparition de leur poumon oriental, nous l’avons dit, serait une perte, d’autant que leurs racines spirituelles sont là-bas ! The disappearance of lung East, we have said, would be a waste, especially as their spiritual roots are there! Mais ils seraient aussi en droit de penser que, désormais, plus personne n’est là pour les défendre… Ensuite, il ya les musulmans en Occident . But they are also entitled to think that now nobody is there to defend them … Then there are the Muslims in the West. Croient-ils qu’ils auraient quelque chose à gagner dans cette disparition ? S’ils n’ont pas réussi à vivre avec les chrétiens en Orient, avec qui ils partageaient leur existence depuis quatorze siècles, comment réussiraient-ils dans ces nouvelles contrées où leur récente apparition ne se fait pas sans douleur ? Believe they have something to gain from this loss? If they have not managed to live with Christians in the East, with whom they shared their lives for fourteen centuries, how they succeed in these new lands where their recent appearance is not without pain?

Enfin, cinquième et dernier acteur, la masse des Européens “sans religion” qui pourraient croire que ce problème n’est pas le leur. Finally, the fifth and final player in the mass of Europeans “no religion” who might believe that this problem is not theirs. Et pourtant ! Sans paix entre le christianisme et l’islam, il n’y aura pas de paix du tout, et, sans liberté religieuse, il n’y aura pas de liberté non plus. » And yet no peace between Christianity and Islam, there will be no peace at all, and without religious freedom, there will be no freedom either. ”

Le désarroi des catholiques de Chine The disarray of Catholics in China

« Pendant toute la réunion, j’ai gardé la tête baissée et j’ai refusé de voter pour les évêques présentés par le gouvernement, mais ils ont quand même comptabilisé mon vote. “Throughout the meeting, I kept my head down and refused to vote for bishops presented by the government, but they still have my vote counted. Les dés étaient pipés, les résultats fabriqués d’avance… Aucun de nous, évêques, prêtres, religieuses ou laïcs présents n’a vions la moindre chance d’exprimer notre opposition aux candidats officiels. The dice were loaded, the results produced in advance … None of us, bishops, priests, religious and laity present Vions has a chance to express our opposition to the official candidates. Le gouvernement ne voulait prendre aucun risque, la victoire du régime était garantie. The government would take any risk, the scheme was guaranteed victory. » “

Ce témoignage direct d’un des évêques chinois présent au 8e Congrès des représentants catholiques de Chine, les 8 et 9 décembre dernier à Pékin, illustre le désarroi et la frustration qui règnent aujourd’hui dans une grande partie de la communauté catholique de Chine.

Un autre prêtre raconte même que certains évêques avaient voulu « résister » en n’apportant pas leurs vêtements liturgiques : « Les organisateurs avaient tout prévu, des habits étaient disponibles, afin de nous obliger à concélébrer avec les évêques illégitimes, consacrés sans l’approbation du pape. » “

On sait que certains prêtres sont rentrés dans leur paroisse « le cœur lourd » , redoutant de devoir s’expliquer devant des fidèles parfois très critiques à l’égard du pouvoir politique qui a la mainmise sur l’Église.

« Le panorama général n’est pas réjouissant » , assure un autre prêtre chinois. « On sait qu’un petit nombre d’évêques font du zèle, un grand nombre se laisse malmener, s’imaginant que résister ouvertement serait plus nocif pour l’Église, et enfin un tout petit nombre essaye de s’opposer, mais sans résultat. “The overall picture is not pleasant,” says another Chinese priest. “We know that a small number of bishops have the zeal, many leaves are bullied, figuring that would be more openly resist harmful to the Church, and finally a small number tried to object, but to no avail. » “

Dans de nombreuses paroisses, les fidèles se sentent perdus et se posent beaucoup de questions : que va faire Rome ? In many parishes, the faithful feel lost and ask many questions: what will be Rome? Y aura-t-il des sanctions contre certains évêques, des excommunications ou des invalidations de certaines ordinations ? Will there sanctions against some of bishops, excommunication or invalidation of some ordinations? Doit-on assister aux messes d’évêques illégitimes ? Should we attend the Masses of illegitimate bishops? Comment se positionner à l’égard de l’Association patriotique ?

Au nord, dans la province du Heilongjiang, Mgr Wei Jingyi, évêque souterrain, a écrit une lettre pastorale pour demander à tous ses fidèles de « prier spécialement pour notre Église en difficulté », comme l’a spécifiquement demandé Benoît XVI qui, dans son message de Noël, a tenu à conforter « l’esprit de foi, la patience et le courage » des fidèles catholiques chinois .

Social Tagging: Chypre • Islam • Turquie Social Tagging: Cyprus • Islam • Turkey

Les forces turques de la zone occupée de Karpasia dans le Nord de Chypre ont, pour la première fois depuis 36 ans, interdit aux chrétiens de fêter Noël. Turkish forces from the occupied area of Karpasia in Northern Cyprus have, for the first time in 36 years, forbade Christians to celebrate Christmas.

Le matin de Noël, samedi 25 décembre 2010, le Père Zacharias et un grand nombre de personnes se sont rendus à l’église de Saint Sinesios à Rizokarpaso (photo de gauche) pour commencer les matines de Noël. On Christmas morning, Saturday, December 25, 2010, Father Zacharias, and many people went to church at St. Sinesios Rizokarpaso (left) to begin Matins of Christmas.

Mais des membres des forces d’occupation se sont précipités à l’église pour y interrompre les vigiles , ont exigé du prêtre qu’il retire ses habits liturgiques et ordonné à tout le monde de quitter l’église. But members of the occupation forces rushed to the church to stop the guards , the priest demanded that he withdraw his liturgical vestments and ordered everyone to leave the church. Après le départ forcé des fidèles, les portes de l’édifice ont été scellées. After the forced departure of the faithful, the doors of the building were sealed.

La même mésaventure est arrivée à l’église de la Sainte Trinité où le Père Konstantinos disait le premier office du cursus de l’ office divin . The same thing happened to the Church of the Holy Trinity where the Father Konstantinos said the first office of the curriculum of the Divine Office .

L’archevêque de l’Eglise orthodoxe de Chypre , Chrysostomos II a confié avoir été attristé par l’attitude provocatrice des forces d’occupation turques. The Archbishop of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus , Chrysostomos II said he has been saddened by the provocative attitude of the Turkish occupation forces.

L’Etat de l’Orissa en Inde The state of Orissa in India

Inde . India. Les célébrations de Noël 2010 se sont passées dans la paix en Orissa , où les sanglants pogromes antichrétiens de 2007 et 2008 ont laissé des traces dans les communautés chrétiennes. Christmas celebrations 2010 was passed in peace in Orissa , where the bloody pogroms of 2007 and 2008 anti-Christian have left their mark in Christian communities. L’archevêque de Cuttack-Bhubaneswar explique que « le message de Noël est de briser les barrières et les murs de la caste, de la couleur, de la croyance et de la religion pour créer une communauté de frères et de sœurs unis dans l’amour, y compris les frères hindous » . The Archbishop of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar says that “the message of Christmas is to break down barriers and walls of caste, color, creed and religion to create a community of brothers and sisters united in the love, including Hindu brothers. “

Bhubaneswar, Orissa (Inde). Les célébrations de Noël du district de Kandhamal ont eu lieu dans une atmosphère de paix, mais la majorité des chrétiens les ont vécu dans la peur , explique le Père Puroshatam Nayak, du diocèse de Cuttack-Bhubaneswar. Dans certains villages reculés, il n’ya pas eu de célébration par crainte d’attaques. Christmas celebrations in Kandhamal district were held in an atmosphere of peace, but the majority of Christians have lived in fear, “said Father Puroshatam Nayak of the diocese of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar. In some remote villages, it does there was no celebration for fear of attacks. L’administration du district a organisé la protection des églises les plus grandes . The district administration has arranged the protection of the largest churches. AsiaNews a interrogé Mgr Raphael Cheenath (photo infra ), archevêque de Cuttack-Bhubaneswar dans l’Etat d’Orissa où eurent lieu les sanglants pogromes antichrétiens de 2007 et 2008. AsiaNews interviewed Archbishop Raphael Cheenath (photo below), archbishop of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar in Orissa state where occurred the bloody anti-Christian pogroms of 2007 and 2008.

« Comment jugez-vous l’atmosphère dans votre diocèse en cette période de Noël ? “How do you rate the atmosphere in your diocese at this time of Christmas?

Noël nous rappelle que le Christ est venu établir la suprématie de l’amour . Christmas reminds us that Christ came to establish the supremacy of love. En d’autres termes, l’amour passe avant toutes les autres vertus. In other words, love comes before all other virtues. Pour cela, le Christ a du s’élever contre certaines lois et traditions en vigueur dans la société de l’époque, il est allé vers les pauvres, a rencontré les percepteurs d’impôts, les pécheurs et tous les gens à la marge de la société. For this, Christ’s protest against certain laws and traditions in the society of the time, he went to the poor, met with tax collectors, sinners and all the people at the margin of society. Bien sûr, la haute société, les prêtres et les sages ne l’ont pas approuvé. Of course, high society, the priests and wise men have not approved. Ils l’ont accusé de tendre la main aux pécheurs et aux pauvres. They accused him of reaching out to sinners and the poor. Nous, à Kandhamal et dans l’Orissa, nous essayons d’aller vers le pauvre, les intouchables, ceux qu’on appelle les dalits pour les libérer de certaines traditions imposées par la haute société. We at Kandhamal in Orissa and we try to go to the poor, the untouchables, the so-called Dalits to free them from certain traditions imposed by high society. L’amour que le Christ inspire aux chrétiens à Orissa doit être assez fort pour résister aux pressions. The love of Christ inspires Christians in Orissa should be strong enough to withstand pressure. Oui, le message de Noël, c’est de briser les barrières et les murs de la caste, de la couleur, de la croyance et de la religion pour créer une communauté de frères et de soeurs unis dans l’amour et j’y inclus nos frères hindous . Yes, the message of Christmas is to break down barriers and walls of caste, color, creed and religion to create a community of brothers and sisters united in love and I included our Hindu brothers.

Quel est votre message aux chrétiens de Kandhamal qui ont beaucoup souffert des pogromes ces trois dernières années ? What is your message to the Christians of Kandhamal have suffered greatly from pogroms in the past three years?

Le Christ est venu parmi nous pour les pauvres, les malades, les marginaux. Christ came among us to the poor, the sick, the marginalized. Le pauvre a toujours eu une place spéciale dans le cœur de Jésus . The poor have always had a special place in the heart of Jesus. Il ya des personnes qui n’ont pas peur de prendre des risques ou de subir des difficultés pour apporter de la joie et du bonheur à leurs prochains. Et aujourd’hui, une grande majorité de l’humanité souffre de la faim, de la pauvreté, de la maladie et des persécutions religieuses. Beaucoup d’hommes et de femmes vivent une existence précaire. Many men and women live a precarious existence. L’Inde à elle seule voit 70% de ses habitants vivre sous le seuil de pauvreté . India alone sees 70% of its inhabitants live under the poverty line . Dans son discours d’adieu, l’ancien président de l’Inde Abdul Kalam, a demandé : ‘qui prendra soin d’eux ?’ Nous avons besoin que des millions de personnes apportent la joie de Noël et l’espoir d’une nouvelle année prospère à ces 70% . In his farewell address, former President of India Abdul Kalam, asked: ‘Who will care for them? “We need millions of people bring the joy of Christmas and the hope of prosperous new year to the 70%.

Comment faire pour toucher les non chrétiens ? How to reach non-Christians?

Beaucoup de gens ont tendance à exagérer le côté négatif de certaines choses ou actions. Many people tend to exaggerate the negative side of things or actions. A cause de cela, nous restons à distance de certaines personnes, particulièrement celles pour lesquelles nous n’avons pas d’estime : les pauvres, les illettrés, ceux que le développement économique a laissé sur le côté, les exclus. Nous, missionnaires, ne devons pas seulement voir la pauvreté, l’arriération, la misère et l’oppression mais également la dignité humaine, la vie et la joie. We missionaries must not only see poverty, backwardness, poverty and oppression, but also human dignity, life and joy. Alors nous n’hésitons pas à tendre la main à nos frères hindous et à nos ennemis, qui nous ont persécuté dans le passé . En effet, nous croyons que Dieu nous a envoyé Son fils en raison de notre dignité humaine de fils et filles de Dieu . Indeed, we believe that God sent His son because of our human dignity of son and daughters of God.

Qu’attendez-vous du gouvernement pour les habitants d’Orissa et plus généralement pour l’Inde ?

Il ya tant de violences, d’intimidations, d’oppressions sans parler de l’esclavage et des injustices entre individus, communautés, Etats et organisations… Aujourd’hui, nous sommes les témoins de tueries insensées, d’actes de torture, de viols, d’oppressions … Nos gouvernements, les hommes politiques, les bureaucrates et les institutions publiques doivent respecter la vie, la dignité et les droits de l’homme . En fait, la majorité de l’humanité est systématiquement réduite à devenir une marchandise à travers l’exploitation, la commercialisation et la mondialisation. In fact, the majority of humanity is systematically reduced to becoming a commodity through the exploitation, commercialization and globalization. Les bénéficiaires des récentes politiques gouvernementales, en Inde et à l’international, sont une toute petite minorité. The beneficiaries of recent government policies in India and abroad, are a tiny minority. Le reste de l’humanité est appauvrie et déshumanisée. The rest of humanity is impoverished and dehumanized. Alors, et c’est la question à un million de dollars, sommes-nous capables de s’accepter les uns les autres comme frères et soeurs ? Then, and this is the question a million dollars, are we able to accept each other as brothers and sisters? Je pense que nous vivrons dans un monde meilleur lorsque nous serons capables de voir la bonté dans son prochain et pas seulement ses lacunes et ses erreurs, et quand nous vivrons comme des frères et sœurs plutôt que de nous haïr les uns les autres . Le message de Noël pour nous, c’est que Dieu est avec nous et dans le coeur de tous . The Christmas message for us is that God is with us and in the hearts of all. Le trouver dans notre vie quotidienne, voilà la clef du Salut, de la mukti comme on dit chez nous. Find it in our daily lives is the key of Hi, the mukti as we say. Le trouver dans les autres, voilà la fraternité universelle. Find it in others is universal brotherhood. » ”

Pakistan . Pakistan. La Haute Cour de Lahore n’a pas encore déterminé de date pour l’appel interjeté par Asia Bibi , une jeune mère de famille chrétienne condamnée à mort pour blasphème. Mais la bataille autour de cette loi très controversée continue. But the battle over this controversial law continues. Le jour de Noël, des manifestations pour et contre la loi ont eu lieu dans des villes pakistanaises. On Christmas Day, demonstrations for and against the law have taken place in Pakistani cities. Et le site internet du Pakistan Christian Post , la principale voix des chrétiens dans le pays, a été mis hors-service pendant plusieurs jours – il l’est toujours – après avoir été attaqué par des « pirates » musulmans . And the website of Pakistan Christian Post, the leading voice of Christians in the country, was taken out of service for several days – still is – after being attacked by “pirates” Muslims. L’image d’un ange ensanglanté sur fond noir faisait figure de page d’accueil. The image of an angel on a black background was bloodied face of the home page. Au centre de l’écran, une bannière disait « Piraté par les Islamic Hacker Dragons « . At the center of the screen, a banner said “hacked by Islamic Hacker Dragons”.

A Lahore, la police explique avoir empêché des affrontements entre partisans de la loi sur le blasphème et opposants le jour de Noël . In Lahore, police said have prevented clashes between supporters of the law on blasphemy and opponents on Christmas Day. Environ deux douzaines d’activistes de la Islamic Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat (TNR) ont protesté à Faisal Chowk contre 1) les amendements qui pourraient être apportés à la loi et 2) la grâce d’Asia Bibi. Au même moment, des douzaines de membres de la Christian Democratic Alliance du Pakistan et d’autres organisations de défense des droits civils ont commencé à se rassembler dans le quartier. Meanwhile, dozens of members of the Christian Democratic Alliance of Pakistan and other organizations of civil rights began to congregate in the neighborhood. Ils portaient des drapeaux et des bannières demandant l’amendement de la loi sur le blasphème et la libération d’Asia Bibi. Les deux rassemblements se sont croisés à Faisal Chowk et des slogans hostiles ont été échangés. They carried flags and banners calling for the amendment of the blasphemy law and the liberation of Asia Bibi. Both rallies were crossed to Faisal Chowk and slogans were exchanged. Des témoins rapportent que des activistes musulmans ont tenté d’approcher les manifestants chrétiens mais qu’ils en ont été empêchés par la police. La dispersion des manifestants s’est faite dans le calme. Witnesses report that Muslim activists have tried to approach the demonstrators Christians but they were stopped by police. The dispersion of demonstrators took place peacefully.

A Karachi, plusieurs organisations des droits de l’homme et associations caritatives, mais aussi des syndicalistes et des avocats ont formé une coalition appelée « Citizens for Democracy » qui a vocation à mener campagne pour amender la loi sur le blasphème . In Karachi, several organizations and human rights charities, but also trade unionists and lawyers have formed a coalition called Citizens for Democracy “which aims to campaign to amend the blasphemy law. Le rassemblement fondateur a eu lieu le 26 décembre en présence de 28 organisations. The founding assembly was held December 26 in the presence of 28 organizations. Il a exprimé son soutien total au projet d’amendement soumis par le parlementaire Sherry Rehman . He expressed his full support to the proposed amendment submitted by the Parliamentary Sherry Rehman . Une réunion avec la Commission des lois et des affaires parlementaires a été décidée, pour accélérer le rythme de la réforme. « La plupart des cas de blasphèmes enregistrés contre des minorités ne sont pas d’authentiques cas de blasphèmes. A meeting with the Law Commission and Parliamentary Affairs has been decided to accelerate the pace of reform. “Most of blasphemy cases registered against minorities are not genuine cases of blasphemy. Il devrait y avoir dans la loi une clause prévoyant les mêmes sanctions contre toute personne qui formulerait une plainte mensongère, afin que plus personne n’ose porter de fausses plaintes à l’avenir » a déclaré un orateur du rassemblement. There should be a clause in the law providing for the same penalties against anyone who makes a false complaint, so that no one dares make false claims in the future, “said a speaker at the rally.

La campagne de l’agence d’information catholique AsiaNews continue. The campaign of the Catholic news agency AsiaNews continues.

Dans Valeurs Actuelles de jeudi 23 décembre , Mgr Louis Sako, archevêque chaldéen de Kirkouk (Irak), écrit : In the current values of Thursday, December 23 , Archbishop Louis Sako, Chaldean Archbishop of Kirkuk (Iraq) wrote :

« La foi n’est ni une question idéologique, ni une spéculation théologique, mais bien une réalité mystique, voire existentielle. La foi est une rencontre personnelle avec quelqu’un que l’on connaît, que l’on aime et à qui l’on s’est donné totalement . Ceci est très prégnant dans notre spiritualité orientale. Cet autre qu’on aime est une dimension de nous-même et n’est pas isolé. This is very prominent in Eastern spirituality. This other one loves is a dimension of ourselves and not isolated. Pour lui, il faut aller toujours plus loin, jusqu’au sacrifice. For him, it must go ever further, until sacrifice.

Le martyre est pour nous l’expression absolue de la fidélité de cet amour . Martyrdom is for us the ultimate expression of loyalty to that love. Le 31 octobre, lorsque Wassim, jeune prêtre de la cathédrale de Bagdad, est allé dire aux terroristes : « Tuez-moi et libérez les fidèles », il savait ce qu’il disait. October 31, when Wassim, a young priest of the Cathedral of Baghdad went to tell the terrorists: “Kill me and release the faithful,” he knew what he was saying. C’était son engagement d’amour pour le Christ et les siens. Pour nous, chrétiens d’Irak, le martyre est le charisme de notre Église, vieille de plus de deux mille ans . En tant que minorité, confrontée sans arrêt aux difficultés et au sacrifice, nous sommes conscients qu’être témoin du Christ peut aller jusqu’au martyre. It was his commitment of love for Christ and his family. For us, Christians of Iraq, martyrdom is the charism of our church, dating back over two thousand years. As a minority, constantly facing the challenges and sacrifice, we recognize that being a witness of Christ may go to martyrdom. C’est la même racine en langue arabe : Shahid wa shahiid ! It’s the same root in Arabic: Shahid wa shahiid!

Je pense que les chrétiens du monde entier ont besoin aujourd’hui de se “recycler” spirituellement, dans leur christianisme et leur engagement, au contact des chrétiens persécutés d’Irak et d’ailleurs. I think that Christians around the world today need to “recycle” spiritually in their Christianity and their commitment in contact with the persecuted Christians in Iraq and elsewhere.

L’amitié, la solidarité et le soutien de nos sœurs et frères chrétiens de France et d’Occident nous donnent le courage de résister, de rester sur notre terre et dans nos églises, pour perpétuer notre présence et notre témoignage chrétien. The friendship, solidarity and support of our Christian brothers and sisters in France and West give us the courage to resist, to remain on our land and in our churches, to perpetuate our presence and our Christian witness. Le fait de savoir que vous êtes proches de nous nous pousse à cultiver le “vivre ensemble” en paix et en harmonie avec nos frères musulmans . Knowing that you are close to us makes us grow “live together” in peace and harmony with our Muslim brothers. » ”

Montiers (Oise). « Le maire a fait installer la crèche au lendemain du jugement ! Montiers (Oise). “The mayor is the manger install following the trial! C’est de la provocation assumée » peste Claude Debaye. It is assumed provocation “Claude Debaye plague. Le maire justement, Xavier Deneufbourg, souligne que « le jugement nous demande d’annuler la délibération [du 31 octobre 2008], mais il ne nous interdit pas de faire une crèche » … comme il le déclarait déjà aux Nouvelles de France il ya 3 semaines. The mayor rightly Deneufbourg Xavier, said that “the trial is asking us to rescind the resolution [of 31 October 2008], but it does not prevent us from making a manger” … as he said already there is news from France 3 weeks.

« Le problème, c’est l’attitude de l’Etat. Le préfet est chargé de veiller à l’exécution du jugement. “The problem is the attitude of the state. The warden is responsible for ensuring the implementation of the trial. Or, il est aux abonnés absents et dit qu’il n’a pas à commenter une décision de justice . However, it is conspicuously absent and said he did not comment on a judicial decision. Ce n’est pas ce qu’on lui demande. This is not what we asked. En marge, certains laissent croire qu’il s’agit d’une rivalité de coqs dressés sur leurs ergots ; ça n’a rien à voir. On the sidelines, some suggest that it is a rivalry roosters standing on their hind legs, it has nothing to do. » explique Claude Debaye. “Said Claude Debaye.

Cette affaire rebondit au-delà du village. The case bounced beyond the village. L’évêque de l’Oise, Mgr Jacques Benoît-Gonnin , « ne pense pas que cette crèche trouble l’ordre public, ni qu’elle représente une atteinte aux bonnes moeurs » . The bishop of the Oise, Bishop Jacques-Benoit Gonnin, “do not think this crib disturbs the public order, or that it represents an affront to public decency.” Et le 11 décembre, le cardinal Vingt-Trois, archevêque de Paris, déclarait que cette affaire « s’inscrit dans une polémique entre l’ancien maire et le maire actuel » , que « la crèche est un moyen d’alimenter la polémique » . And December 11, Cardinal Vingt-Trois, archbishop of Paris, declared that the case “is part of a controversy between the former mayor and current mayor,” that “the nursery is a way to fuel the controversy” .

Soutenu par la Libre Pensée qui a même alerté le ministre Brice Hortefeux, Claude Debaye va plus loin encore : « Je ne suis pas mégalo, mais je crois que l’intervention du pape sur la christianophobie et l’interdiction de dresser des crèches sur la place publique en France s’appuie sur le cas de Montiers… »

 Le maire ne voit autour de cette crèche « qu’un faux problème : c’est simplement une réaction de l’ancien maire à sa non-réélection ». The mayor sees around the crib “a false problem: it is simply a reaction to the former mayor to its non-reelection”.

Viêt Nam : un évêque interdit de messe de minuit Viet Nam: a bishop banned from midnight mass

Viet Nam . Viet Nam. Les autorités vietnamiennes ont interdit à Mgr Michael Hoang Duc Oanh, évêque de Kontum , de dire la messe de Noël aux fidèles du village de Son Lang dans le comté de K’Bang county (centre du Vietnam), la région des Montagnards . The Vietnamese authorities have banned Bishop Michael Hoang Duc Oanh, Bishop of Kontum , to tell the Christmas Mass for the faithful of the village of Lang Son in the County K’Bang county (central Vietnam), the region of Montagnards . L’interdiction lui a été signifiée bien que le gouvernement ait été informé de la tenue de la messe. The ban was served even though the government has been informed of the holding of the mass.

Dans une lettre aux fidèles datée du 22 décembre, Mgr Michael Hoang indique qu’il a discuté avec le gouvernement vietnamien et demandé, si en tant qu’évêque du diocèse, il pouvait accomplir son devoir pendant la période de Noël sans obstacle venant du gouvernement local. “Les autorités, à différents niveaux, m’ont assuré que je pouvais” , écrit-il. In a letter to the faithful dated December 22, Bishop Michael Hoang said he had discussed with the Vietnamese government and asked if as a bishop of the diocese, he could perform his duty during the Christmas period without hindrance from the government local. “Governments at various levels, have assured me that I could,” he writes.

Cependant, à 22h le jour de Noël, des fonctionnaires locaux de Son Lang, épaulés par des forces de police et des militaires (!) l’ont empêché de célébrer la messe. “Si vous voulez célébrer votre messe, vous pouvez, mais pas pour tout le monde ici. However, the 22h day of Christmas, local officials of Lang Son, backed by police and military (!) Prevented him from celebrating mass. “If you want to celebrate your mass, you can, but not for everyone here. Vous devez vous rendre dans chaque famille et chaque messe ne devra pas durer plus d’une heure” , lui at-on dit. You must go to every family and every Mass should not last more than an hour, “he was told. L’évêque a donné sa bénédiction à l’assemblée de fidèles et a annulé la messe en signe de protestation. The bishop gave his blessing to the congregation and set aside the mass in protest.

Parmi les raisons possibles à cette interdiction qui, de fait, restreint la pratique catholique à la sphère privée (familiale) et aurait pu permettre d’identifier les foyers catholiques, certains y voient une tentative d’entraver le travail d’évangélisation mené avec succès par le prélat. Among the possible reasons for this ban, in effect, restricted Catholic practice in the private sphere (family) and could identify Catholic homes, some see it as an attempt to hinder the work of evangelization carried out successfully by the prelate. Mgr Hoang, qui parle le français, l’anglais et des langues locales de l’ethnie des Montagnards (Bana, Jarai, Sedang …), a assisté depuis le jour de son installation, en août 2003, à une impressionnante vague de conversions au catholicisme : 30 000 Montagnards ont rejoint l’Eglise catholique en 2008 et 20 000 en 2009. Bishop Hoang, who speaks French, English and local languages of the ethnic Montagnards (Bana, Jarai, Sedang …), has witnessed since the day it was installed in August 2003, an impressive wave of conversions to Catholicism: 30 000 Montagnards have joined the Catholic Church in 2008 and 20,000 in 2009.

Ces conversions a provoqué des inquiétudes jusqu’au sein du gouvernement qui tente maintenant d’en empêcher de nouvelles par tous les moyens possibles. These conversions led to concerns within the government is now trying to prevent further by all means possible. De nombreux prêtres diocésains et des douzaines d’hommes – engagés au service de 216 000 catholiques – ont ainsi du supporter un certain nombre d’interdictions. Many diocesan priests and dozens of men – engaged in the service of 216,000 Catholics – have thus supporting a number of prohibitions.

La veille de Noël, l’évêque a pu célébrer la messe au village du Trung An (comté de Kon Chro). On Christmas Eve, the bishop was celebrating Mass in the village of Trung An (county Kon Chro). Il devait ensuite se rendre à un couvent voisin pour dîner et passer la nuit. He was then to proceed to a nearby convent for dinner and overnight. Des forces de police y sont venues, pour saisir les licences des chauffeurs de l’évêque, mais ne l’y ont pas trouvé. Police are coming to seize the licenses of drivers of the bishop, but do not have found. En effet, sur le chemin, l’évêque a rencontré une jeune femme qui voulait se suicider et l’a accompagné à l’hôpital. Indeed, on the way, the bishop has met a young woman who wanted to commit suicide and was accompanied to the hospital. Après avoir dormi dehors, Mgr Hoang a célébré une autre messe, tôt le matin, à Yang Trung, avant d’être stoppé à Son Lang. After sleeping outside, Bishop Hoang celebrated another mass early in the morning, Yang Trung, before being stopped at Lang Son.

Mgr Hoang est appelé « l’évêque vagabond » par ses amis à cause des nombreux kilomètres qu’il parcours dans son diocèse pour visiter les fidèles. Bishop Hoang is called “the bishop vagabond” by his friends because of that journey many miles in his diocese to visit the faithful. Voir ses déplacements entravés par la police ne lui fait pas perdre son sens de l’humour. See his movements hampered by the police did not make him lose his sense of humor. Commentant sa nuit passée à la belle étoile, l’évêque a expliqué : “J’ai dormi dans un étoile avec un million d’étoiles” . Commenting on his last night under the stars, the bishop said: “I slept in a star with a million stars.”

Le diocèse de Kontum, qui couvre 25 758 km2, est un des plus vastes du Viêt Nam dont 6% de la population est chrétienne (8 millions de catholiques et 1 million de protestants d’après le recensement de 2007). The Diocese of Kontum, which covers 25 758 km2, is one of the largest in Viet Nam including 6% of the population is Christian (8 million Catholics and Protestants 1 million from the 2007 census).

Dans Valeurs Actuelles de jeudi 23 décembre , Bernard-Henri Lévy écrit : In the current values of Thursday, December 23 , Bernard-Henri Levy wrote :

« C’est une des vraies perversions de l’esprit moderne : ne pas arriver à concevoir qu’un peuple anciennement colonisé puisse construire un État génocidaire ; ou, à l’inverse, qu’une religion longtemps dominante puisse se retrouver à son tour dans le camp des victimes . “This is a real perversion of the modern mind: do not get to imagine that a formerly colonized people can build a genocidal state, or, conversely, a long dominant religion can be found in turn camp victims. Et pourtant, nous en sommes là : les chrétiens forment aujourd’hui, qu’on le veuille ou non, à l’échelle de la planète, la communauté la plus persécutée ; et les fidèles d’Orient , qui ont tant fait pour la richesse spirituelle de l’humanité, revivent le martyre d’il ya deux mille ans . Je veux les défendre avec force, fût-ce contre l’esprit du temps . And yet here we are: Christians are today, like it or not, across the planet, the largest community persecuted, and the faithful of the East, who have done so much for spiritual wealth of mankind, relive the martyrdom of two thousand years ago. I want to defend them with force, even against the zeitgeist. De même que la Règle du jeu , ma revue, s’est élevée avec force, à travers les textes de Laurent Dispot, contre le cliché d’un Pie XII transformé en “vicaire nazi” à la tête, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, d’un Vatican qui serait resté muet face à la Shoah. Just as the rule of the game, my review, rose strongly through the texts of Lawrence Dispot against the stereotype of a Pius XII turned into “vicar Nazi” in the head during the Second World War a Vatican that would have remained silent in the face of the Holocaust.

Alors, je sais bien qu’une partie du monde musulman a fait le choix de se refermer sur lui-même. So I know that part of the Muslim world has chosen to close in upon itself. Il a fait le choix de l’affrontement avec les démocraties, avec Israël et avec les chrétiens. He opted for confrontation with the democracies, with Israel and Christians. Eh bien, nous ne pouvons pas nous taire sous prétexte qu’il ne faudrait pas attiser le “choc des civilisations” . Well, we can not keep silent on the pretext that we should not stir up the “clash of civilizations.” Car qui parle de “choc” ? For who speaks of ‘shock’? Et qui le veut ? And who wants it? Certainement pas Israël. Certainly not Israel. Ni les Églises chrétiennes. Neither the Christian churches. Ni l’Occident. Neither the West. Mais ceux qui commettent des attentats en Irak, qui assassinent un prêtre en Turquie, qui persécutent les chrétiens au Soudan et qui – car tout est lié – entretiennent la fièvre antisémite mondiale. But those who commit attacks in Iraq who murder a priest in Turkey, who persecuted Christians in Sudan and who – because everything is connected – maintain the global anti-Semitic fever.

Et que l’on ne compte pas trop sur les diplomates pour venir à leur secours. And we do not count too much on the diplomats to come to their rescue. On m’a trop souvent répété qu’il fallait les laisser agir en silence pour que je puisse encore y croire. I was too often repeated that he had to leave on silent so I can still believe. Les diplomates ne bougent – c’est dans la nature des démocraties – que lorsque la mobilisation des opinions les y contraints . Diplomats do not move – it is the nature of democracies – that when the mobilization of opinion forced them to do.

Dénonçons donc cette vague de fond meurtrière. Therefore denounce the deadly tidal wave. Fermement. Firmly. Calmement. Et sans céder à la tentation de la réciprocité qui dirait par exemple : “Échangeons des mosquées ici contre des églises là-bas.” L’idée, c’est de tirer l’adversaire vers le haut, pas de nous rabaisser à son niveau . Calmly. And without yielding to the temptation of reciprocity that would for example: “Here’s exchange mosques against churches there.” The idea is to pull the opponent up, not to belittle us level. » ”

The NGO Open France ( site ) we reported the case Youcef Nadarkhani (photo) and Behrouz Kandjani, both were sentenced to death for having chosen to convert to Christianity.

Le 14 novembre 2010, Youcef Nadarkhani a été déclaré coupable d’apostasie , et condamné à la mort par pendaison par la 11ème chambre de la cour d’assise de Rasht. On November 14, 2010, Youcef Nadarkhani was convicted of apostasy and sentenced to death by hanging by the 11th Chamber of the Assize Court of Rasht. Le verdict a été envoyé à son avocat, Me Sarbazi. Youcef avait été arrêté le 12 octobre 2009 pour avoir protesté contre la décision du gouvernement iranien d’imposer la lecture du Coran aux enfants chrétiens . The verdict was sent to his lawyer, Sarbaz. Youcef was arrested Oct. 12, 2009 for protesting against the Iranian government’s decision to impose the reading of the Koran to Christian children. Pendant les 11 mois de sa garde à vue, le pasteur a fait l’objet de pressions et tortures afin de le pousser à abjurer sa foi chrétienne. During the 11 months in custody, the pastor is under pressure and torture to drive him to recant his Christian faith.

Quant à Behrouz Kandjani , (surnommé Marco), il est maintenu en isolement , sans contact avec son avocat dans la prison de la police politique à Chiraz. As for Behrouz Kandjani (nicknamed Marco), it is kept in isolation, without contact with his lawyer in the prison of the political police in Shiraz. Convoqué afin de s’expliquer sur les activités de sa communauté, le pasteur Behrouz Khandjani, s’y est rendu le 11 janvier 2010. Summoned to explain the activities of his community, Pastor Khandjan Behrouz, went there January 11, 2010. Il a été immédiatement arrêté en compagnie de deux autres chrétiens. He was immediately arrested with two other Christians. Ils avaient auparavant reçu à Téhéran l’assurance qu’il ne s’agissait que d’une « séance d’explications » . They had previously received assurances that Tehran was only a ‘debriefing’.

Libéré le 17 mars dernier contre une lourde caution de 110 000 euros, il a été réincarcéré le 16 juin dernier alors qu’il avait été convoqué officiellement pour « présenter sa défense » . Released on March 17 against a heavy bail of 110,000 euros, it was returned on June 16 when he was officially summoned to “present his defense.”

Il se trouve désormais dans une cellule des services des Renseignements (nommée la plaque 100). He is now in a cell of information services (called the plate 100). Il est actuellement sous le coup d’une condamnation à mort mais aucun document juridique concernant ce verdict ne nous est parvenu pour le moment. It is currently under sentence of death but no legal document for this verdict has reached us yet.

La charia (loi islamique) qui est appliquée en Iran, interdit aux musulmans de se convertir à une autre religion.Comme de nombreux autres chrétiens d’origine musulmane, les deux hommes faisaient partie d’ « églises de maison » , c’est-à-dire de groupes de croyants qui se réunissent en secret . Sharia (Islamic law) is applied in Iran, Muslims are forbidden to convert to another religion.Comme many other Christians of Muslim origin, the two men were part of “house churches”, that is ie groups of believers who meet in secret.

Portes Ouvertes appelle à prier pour eux, pour leurs proches et pour les chrétiens d’origine musulmane. Open call to pray for them, their families and for Christians of Muslim background. C’est le moins que nous puissions faire… It’s the least we can do …

Ce Noël à Bethléem, les croix ont été interdites dans les magasins de souvenirs pour les touristes et les pèlerins en Terre Sainte. This Christmas in Bethlehem, the crosses have been banned in the souvenir shops for tourists and pilgrims in the Holy Land. Certains ateliers textiles à Jérusalem et à Hébron ont commencé à imprimer et vendre des T-shirts représentant l’Eglise de la Nativité à Bethléem, mais sans la croix . En raison de la progression du fondamentalisme islamique dans les territoires palestiniens, la croix a aussi été retirée des maillots des équipes de football . Some textile workshops in Jerusalem and Hebron have begun to print and sell T-shirts representing the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, but without the cross. Due to the rising Islamic fundamentalism in the Palestinian territories, the cross also was removed from the jerseys of football teams. Interrogé par AsiaNews, Samir Qumsieh, journaliste et directeur de la chaine de télévision catholique Al-Mahed Nativity TV à Bethléem, déclare : “Je veux lancer une campagne pour inciter les gens à ne pas acheter ces produits parce que la suppression de la croix est le résultat d’une intimidation contre les chrétiens, c’est comme dire que Jésus n’a jamais été crucifié. ” Jésus (Isa), que reconnaissent comme prophète les musulmans qui ne croient cependant pas à sa crucifixion ni à sa résurrection. Interviewed by AsiaNews, Samir Qumsiyeh, a journalist and director of the Catholic television channel Al-Mahedi TV Nativity in Bethlehem, said: “I want to launch a campaign to encourage people not to buy these products because the removal of the cross is the result of intimidation against Christians is like saying that Jesus was never crucified. “Jesus (Isa), that Muslims recognize as a prophet who does not believe, however, to his crucifixion or resurrection.

Qumsieh explique que la population vit ces jours avec joie mais que la situation pour les chrétiens reste dramatique. Qumsiyeh said that people living these days with joy, but that the situation for Christians remains dramatic. Selon le journaliste, le dialogue de ces dernières années initié entre musulmans, chrétiens et juifs n’a rien changé. According to the journalist, the dialogue initiated in recent years among Muslims, Christians and Jews has not changed.

« En Terre Sainte, l’émigration des chrétiens s’accélère même si les autorités refusent de donner des chiffres précis. Chaque jour, des gens fuient vers d’autres pays . “In the Holy Land, the emigration of Christians is accelerating even if the authorities refuse to give precise figures. Every day, people are fleeing to other countries. Comme chrétiens, nous vivons constamment entre la peur et l’incertitude, et si vous vivez en permanence dans cette tension et ce pessimisme, vous ne pouvez rien planifier, rien prévoir, rien bâtir » dit-il. As Christians, we live constantly between fear and uncertainty, and if you live permanently in this tension and pessimism, you can not plan, plan nothing, build nothing, “he said.

Selon le journaliste, « les gens partent car il n’ya pas de travail et les déplacements sont restreints par Israël » . According to the journalist, “People leave because there is no work and travel is restricted by Israel.” Les autres facteurs expliquant l’exode des chrétiens sont les problèmes internes à la Palestine comme la querelle entre le Hamas et le Fatah qui a des répercussions sur la situation économique de la Palestine . Other factors contributing to the exodus of Christians are internal problems in Palestine as the feud between Hamas and Fatah, which has repercussions on the economic situation of Palestine. Qumsieh souligne que de 2002 à 2010, la population chrétienne de Bethléem a fortement diminué, passant de 18 000 à 11 000 personnes. Qumsiyeh said that from 2002 to 2010, the Christian population of Bethlehem has dropped sharply from 18 000 to 11 000 people. A Gaza, les chrétiens ne sont aujourd’hui plus que 1 800 contre 5 000 en 2006, année de la prise du pouvoir par le Hamas. In Gaza, Christians are now more than 1800 against 5000 in 2006, the year of the takeover by Hamas. Seuls 15 400 chrétiens (2% de la population) vivent aujourd’hui à Jérusalem, explique une étude du Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies , soit 50% de moins que les 31 000 chrétiens recensés comme résidents en 1948, une époque où ils comptaient pour 20% de la population de la ville. Only 15,400 Christians (2% of the population) now live in Jerusalem, says a study by the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, which is 50% less than the 31 000 residents identified as Christians in 1948, when they accounted for 20% of the population of the city.

Le reporter explique que si cet exode continue, il n’y aura plus de catholiques en Terre Sainte et un jour, la basilique de la Nativité pourrait être transformée en musée. « S’il n’ya plus de chrétiens en Terre Sainte, alors il n’y aura plus de chrétiens pour longtemps partout ailleurs » dit-il. The reporter explained that if the exodus continues, there will be more Catholics in the Holy Land and one day, the Basilica of the Nativity could be transformed into a museum. “If there are more Christians in the Holy Land, then there will be more Christians for a long time elsewhere, “he said.

Pendant ce temps, à l’occasion des célébrations de Noël, les troupes israéliennes déployées dans les territoires palestiniens occupés facilitent le passage des pèlerins chrétiens aux postes de contrôle. Meanwhile, during Christmas celebrations, Israeli troops deployed in the occupied Palestinian territories facilitate the passage of Christian pilgrims at checkpoints. L’armée a notamment distribué une brochure à ses soldats leur expliquant l’importance de Noël pour les chrétiens et leur demandant d’éviter les discussions et les obstacles inutiles aux frontières avec l’Ouest. The army has distributed a brochure explaining to his troops the importance of Christmas for Christians and asking them to avoid arguments and unnecessary barriers at borders with the West.

La méditation de Benoît XVI, à Rome, pendant la messe de minuit, sur « la lumière de bonté » de Noël, opposée au « bâton de tortionnaire » , au bruit des « chaussures des soldats » et à la vision des « manteaux couverts de sang » , a trouvé un écho dramatique dans l’actualité du week-end. Meditation of Benedict XVI in Rome during the midnight mass on “the light of goodness” of Christmas, as opposed to “stick torturer” at the sound of “shoes of the soldiers” and the vision of “coats covered blood, “was echoed in the dramatic events of the weekend.

Si aucune victime n’a été à déplorer en Irak , où les mesures de sécurité avaient été renforcées devant les églises chrétiennes, le bilan a été très lourd au Nigeria et aux Philippines . While no casualties were regrettable in Iraq , where security measures had been reinforced before the Christian churches, the toll was very high in Nigeria and the Philippines .

À Jos, dans le centre du Nigeria , 32 personnes ont été tuées et 74 blessées dans une série de sept explosions visant des lieux de culte chrétiens et deux quartiers où la foule faisait ses achats avant la fête de la Nativité. In Jos in central Nigeria , 32 people were killed and 74 wounded in a series of seven explosions targeting Christian places of worship and two districts where the crowd made their purchases before the feast of the Nativity. Dimanche encore, dans la même ville, de nouveaux incidents ont fait un mort. Sunday again, in the same city, new incidents have caused one death. Plusieurs maisons ont été incendiées. Several houses were burned. Jos est située à la limite du nord, majoritairement musulman, et du sud, principalement chrétien. Jos is located at the northern limit of the mainly Muslim south and the mainly Christian. La veille de Noël, cinq personnes, dont un pasteur baptiste, avaient également été tuées, dans un temple à Maiduguri, dans le nord du Nigeria. On Christmas Eve, five people, including a Baptist minister, had also been killed in a temple in Maiduguri, northern Nigeria. Cette attaque a été attribuée à une secte islamiste, Boko Haram. The attack was attributed to an Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

Aux Philippines , six personnes ont été légèrement blessées dans l’explosion d’une bombe, lors de la messe de minuit, célébrée dans l’église d’une base de la police philippine, sur l’île de Jolo (Sud), à majorité musulmane. For the Philippines , six people were slightly injured in a bomb explosion during the Midnight Mass, celebrated in the church of a Philippine police base on the island of Jolo (South), Muslim majority. La police n’exclut pas un règlement de comptes contre elle mais cette île est réputée abriter des extrémistes islamistes, dont le groupe Abou Sayyaf. L’évêque local, Mgr Jose Colin Bagaforo, a affirmé que les croyants sont effectivement menacés « en tant que communautés chrétiennes par des groupes musulmans » . The police does not exclude a settling of scores against it but this island is known harboring Islamic extremists, including Abu Sayyaf group. The local bishop, Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo said that believers are indeed at risk “as Christian communities by Muslim groups. “

Dimanche, à Rome, lors de la prière de l’Angélus, et avant de présider un repas avec un groupe de 250 personnes démunies reçues au Vatican, Benoît XVI a exprimé sa « grande tristesse » devant ces « violences absurdes » et ses « sincères condoléances aux victimes » . Sunday in Rome, during the Angelus prayer, and before presiding over a meal with a group of 250 poor people received at the Vatican, Benedict XVI expressed his “great sadness” at the “senseless violence” and his “sincere condolences to the victims. “ Il a évoqué directement « l’attentat dans une église catholique des Philippines pendant la célébration de Noël » et des « attaques contre des églises chrétiennes au Nigeria ». Sans oublier le Pakistan où 43 civils ont été tués et plus de 100 blessés dans un attentat-suicide revendiqué par le Mouvement des talibans du Pakistan (TTP) contre un centre de distribution alimentaire du Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) à Khar, dans le nord-ouest, en proie à des combats depuis 2004. He spoke directly to “the attack in a Catholic church in the Philippines during the celebration of Christmas” and “attacks against Christian churches in Nigeria”. Not to mention Pakistan, where 43 civilians were killed and over 100 wounded in an attack Suicide claimed by the Taliban Movement of Pakistan (TTP) against a food distribution center of the World Food Programme (WFP) in Khartoum in the north-west, plagued by fighting since 2004. Le Saint-Père a conclu, depuis son balcon de la place Saint-Pierre, par cette remarque : « Notre monde continue d’être marqué par la violence et spécialement contre les disciples du Christ. The Holy Father concluded, from the balcony of St. Peter’s Square, with the remark: “Our world continues to be marked by violence and especially against the followers of Christ. » Tout en lançant un nouvel « appel à abandonner la voie de la haine pour trouver des solutions pacifiques aux conflits et donner aux chères populations la sécurité et la sérénité » . “While launching a new” call to abandon the path of hatred to find peaceful solutions to conflicts and give the beloved peoples safety and serenity. “

Social Tagging: Islam • L’Œuvre d’Orient • Liban • Moyen-Orient Social Tagging: Islam • The Work of the East • Lebanon • Middle East

Dans Valeurs Actuelles de jeudi 23 décembre , le Père Pascal Gollnisch qui dirige L’Œuvre d’Orient ( site ) écrit : In the current values of Thursday, December 23 , Father Pascal Gollnisch who heads the Oeuvre d’Orient ( site ) wrote :

« Nous devons aider les chrétiens d’Orient. “We must help the Eastern Christians. Il ne s’agit pas de chercher pour eux un quelconque privilège : on en est loin ! Il convient seulement de les aider à rester dans leur propre pays, à y vivre dans des conditions convenables . It does not seek any privilege for them: there is far! It should only help them stay in their own country to live in decent conditions. Pourquoi ? Why? Nous pouvons répondre avec tous ceux qui, croyants ou non, s’intéressent au fait chrétien que nous sommes devant des populations qui sont à l’origine même du christianisme. We can answer all those, believers or not, interested in the fact that we are Christian people who are at the very origin of Christianity. Cependant, il ne s’agit pas de les préserver dans une sorte de musée, par respect pour une archéologie vivante de l’Église . However, it does not preserve them in a sort of museum, out of respect for the Church’s living archeology. Nous pouvons répondre encore que nous sommes devant un défi éthique. On ne résout pas le problème du Tibet en proposant l’exil des Tibétains… Les droits fondamentaux doivent être respectés dans les nations modernes, selon les traités qu’elles ont elles-mêmes signés. Les gouvernements du Moyen-Orient doivent garantir la sécurité de tous leurs concitoyens. Les minorités, quelles qu’elles soient, doivent pouvoir vivre sereinement. We can meet again that we are facing an ethical challenge. It does not solve the problem of Tibet in exile Tibetans offering … Human rights must be respected in modern nations, according to the treaties they have signed themselves . The governments of the Middle East should guarantee the safety of all their citizens. minorities, whoever they are, must be able to live peacefully. Nous pouvons encore considérer que la disparition des chrétiens du Moyen-Orient serait un véritable appauvrissement pour les pays concernés . Les citoyens chrétiens en effet sont au service de leur nation parfois bien au-delà de leur force numérique. We can still consider that the disappearance of Christians in the Middle East would be a real loss for the countries concerned. The Christian citizens are indeed serving their nation sometimes well beyond their numerical strength. Sur le plan de la santé ou de l’éducation, les chrétiens sont un apport incontestable. In terms of health or education, Christians are undeniable contribution. De plus, ils jouent souvent un rôle régulateur : tous savent que, sans les chrétiens, le Liban serait livré à un redoutable face-à-face . Moreover, they often play a regulatory role: they all know that without the Christians, Lebanon is engaged in a fearsome face-to-face. Les chrétiens sont des artisans de paix ; ils sont souvent un pont avec d’autres cultures tout en ayant, au siècle dernier, contribué au réveil de la culture arabe. Christians are peacemakers, they are often a bridge to other cultures while having, in the last century contributed to the revival of Arab culture.

Mais l’ultime motivation pour aider les chrétiens d’Orient et les aider à rester sur place est plus égoïste. But the ultimate motivation to help the Eastern Christians and help them to stay put is more selfish. Nous devons travailler à construire, entre gens de bonne volonté et à l’encontre de la violence, les conditions d’un “vivre ensemble” entre chrétiens et musulmans. Si la preuve malheureuse était faite d’une impossibilité de la coexistence pacifique, cela aurait des répercussions désastreuses y compris dans notre pays . We must work to build, among people of good will and against violence, conditions of “living together” between Christians and Muslims. If the evidence was made miserable from the impossibility of peaceful coexistence, it would have disastrous consequences including in our country. À la suite des papes Jean-Paul II et Benoît XVI, nous devons croire à cette coexistence en recherchant inlassablement les liens avec les hommes de bonne volonté. As a result of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, we believe that coexistence tirelessly seeking relationships with men of good will. » ”

Tribune libre de Pierre Piccinin ( blog ), professeur d’histoire et de sciences politiques à l’Ecole européenne de Bruxelles I et maître de stages à l’Université Libre de Bruxelles : Opinion of Peter Piccinin ( blog ), professor of history and political science at the European School Brussels I and master courses at the Free University of Brussels:

« Dans un article intitulé « SOS Chrétiens » (…), le philosophe français Bernard-Henri Lévy incrimine l’Iran, pays où « les derniers catholiques, malgré les dénégations du régime, (…) sont, en pratique, interdits de culte ». “In an article entitled “SOS Christians” (…), French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy blames Iran, a country where “the last Catholic, despite denials from the regime (…) are in practice banned cult .

Il y apparaît clairement, d’une part, que le souci de Monsieur Lévy est, en évoquant les récentes attaques qui ont visé les Chrétiens au Moyen-Orient, de discréditer l’Islam et, d’autre part, que ses « informations » concernant l’Iran sont en tous points erronées, puisque les communautés chrétiennes, dans ce pays, jouissent en réalité d’une complète liberté de culte, comme nous avons pu le constater lors de notre présence en Iran, en juillet dernier. There is clear, firstly, that the concern is Mr. Levy, referring to recent attacks that have targeted Christians in the Middle East, to discredit Islam and, secondly, that his “information” on Iran is in all respects incorrect, since the Christian communities in this country, have in fact a complete freedom of worship, as we have seen during our presence in Iran last July.

Ceux qui colportent des « informations » contraires, ou bien ne connaissent pas la réalité du terrain et ne savent pas de quoi ils parlent, ou bien, volontairement, désinforment l’opinion en propageant des mensonges de manière éhontée. Those who peddle the “information” otherwise, or do not know the reality on the ground and do not know what they are talking, or willfully misinforming public opinion by spreading lies shamelessly. Dans les deux cas, ils participent à la diabolisation de l’Iran, leitmotiv du moment, par une désinformation qui confine à la propagande, dans le contexte international que l’on sait. In both cases, they participate in the demonization of Iran, mantra of the moment, by misinformation bordering on propaganda in the international context is known.

 

« Méfions-nous des faux prophètes, qui se déguisent en rebelles plein de compassion, pour nous convaincre d’accepter le monde tel qu’il est. » “Beware of false prophets, who disguise themselves as rebels compassionate, to convince us to accept the world as it is.”

Depuis plusieurs années et plus encore de ces derniers mois, les attaques contre les communautés chrétiennes se sont multipliées dans plusieurs pays du monde arabo-musulmans, et d’aucuns n’hésitent plus à parler de véritables persécutions organisées. For several years and more in recent months, attacks against Christian communities have increased in several countries of the Arab-Muslims, and some no longer hesitate to speak of organized real persecution.

Certes, divers attentats ont frappé les Chrétiens du Maghreb. Certainly, various attacks have hit the North African Christians. Toutefois, il s’est là toujours agi d’actes isolés et perpétrés par des groupuscules intégristes radicaux, sans que les gouvernements des Etats concernés n’eussent eux-mêmes été impliqués ; au contraire, ces derniers ont mis en œuvre les moyens nécessaires pour lutter contre le terrorisme islamiste, qui menaçait également leur souveraineté et l’Etat de droit. However, there has always been isolated acts perpetrated by radical fundamentalist factions, without the state governments concerned had not themselves been involved on the contrary, they have implemented the necessary means to fight against Islamist terrorism, which also threatened their sovereignty and the rule of law.

Mais il en va tout autrement aux Proche et Moyen-Orient, et en particulier en Egypte , en Arabie saoudite et en Irak , pourtant tous trois alliés objectifs de l’Occident et dont les gouvernements servent plus qu’à leur tour ses intérêts. But it is quite another to Middle East, and particularly in Egypt , in Saudi Arabia and Iraq , yet all three objective allies of the West and whose governments are more than their share his interests.

En Egypte, le gouvernement d’Hosni Moubarak, pour se maintenir au pouvoir, depuis 1981, a fait de nombreuses concessions aux milieux intégristes, surtout depuis une dizaine d’années : la société s’est transformée ; l’alcool, par exemple, n’est plus en vente libre et le port du foulard se généralise ; et, dans ce contexte, les communautés chrétiennes, coptes notamment, sont devenues les cibles de nombreuses exactions, sans recevoir de l’Etat la protection qu’elles sont en droit d’en attendre. In Egypt, the government of Hosni Mubarak, to keep themselves in power since 1981, has made numerous concessions to fundamentalist groups, particularly in the last decade: the company has transformed itself, alcohol, for example, is more counter and headscarves are becoming widespread, and in this context, the Christian communities, including Copts, have become targets of numerous abuses, without receiving state protection they are entitled to expect.

Plus radicalement, en Arabie saoudite, Etat islamique intransigeant, aucune pratique religieuse n’est autorisée, sinon l’Islam. More radically, Saudi Arabia, uncompromising Islamic state, no religious practice is allowed, except Islam. Le culte chrétien est donc formellement prohibé (on n’y trouve aucune église), l’importation dans le pays de tout écrit chrétien ou instrument cultuel et la possession de vin sont sévèrement punis et interdiction est faite aux Chrétiens de s’approcher des lieux saints de La Mecque et de Médine. Christian worship is therefore strictly prohibited (we find no church), imports into the country of any instrument or writing Christian worship and possession of wine are severely punished and prohibited from performing any Christians to approach the scene holy Mecca and Medina.

En Irak, enfin, depuis la chute du gouvernement de Saddam Hussein, baathiste laïc qui maintenait le statu quo entre les différentes confessions et garantissait la liberté des cultes, des attaques de grande ampleur ont causé la mort de nombreux Chrétiens, sans, toutefois, que les responsables de ces actes aient pu être précisément identifiés, ni leurs objectifs clairement définis. In Iraq, finally, since the fall of the government of Saddam Hussein’s Baathist secular which maintained the status quo between the different faiths and guaranteed freedom of worship, large-scale attacks have killed many Christians, without, however, that those responsible for these acts may have been precisely identified, nor their goals clearly defined. Tout récemment encore, une cinquantaine de Chrétiens syriaques catholiques étaient massacrés dans leur cathédrale, à Bagdad. Until recently, about fifty Christians Syriac Catholics were massacred in their cathedral, in Baghdad.

En revanche, parmi ces Etats musulmans, l’Iran fait figure d’exception . In contrast, among the Muslim states, Iran is an exception.

Bien que République islamique, l’Iran n’a en effet aucune politique d’hostilité à l’égard des Chrétiens et abrite d’ailleurs de vastes communautés chrétiennes : un peu plus de deux cent cinquante mille Chrétiens, majoritairement catholiques arméniens, y vivent en sécurité et pratiquent ouvertement leur religion, à condition de ne pas faire de prosélytisme . Although the Islamic Republic, Iran has in fact no policy of hostility against Christians and also accommodates large Christian communities: a little over two hundred and fifty thousand Christians, mostly Catholic Armenians live safe and openly practice their religion, provided they do not proselytize. C’est ce que nous avons pu constater, il ya quelques mois, à travers les nombreux contacts que nous avons pris en parcourant l’Iran durant plusieurs semaines. That’s what we have seen, a few months ago, through the many contacts we have made browsing Iran during several weeks.

A cette occasion, nous avons pu visiter plusieurs communautés chrétiennes, participer à des offices religieux et rencontrer de nombreux chrétiens, en divers lieux du pays, qui vivent sans être nullement inquiétés, en citoyens ordinaires. On this occasion, we visited several Christian communities, participate in religious services and meet many Christians in various parts of country living without being harassed in any way by ordinary citizens. Les prêtres marchent en rue avec le col romain et les églises ressemblent au nôtres, surmontées de grandes croix, au vu de tous . Priests walking in the street with Roman collar and churches resemble ours overcome large crosses, in view of all.

A Téhéran, à notre grande surprise, nous avons même pu observer une reconstitution de la grotte de Lourdes. In Tehran, to our surprise, we even observed a reconstitution of the grotto of Lourdes.

A Ispahan, troisième ville d’Iran en importance, la communauté catholique arménienne ne possède pas moins de douze églises, avec pignon sur rue, dont la plus ancienne, la cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, date du XVIème siècle. In Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran, the Armenian Catholic community has no less than twelve churches, storefront, including the oldest, the Cathedral of St. Sauveur, when the sixteenth century. Elle est en outre flanquée d’un grand musée dédié à la communauté arménienne et où la mémoire religieuse occupe une place non négligeable. It is also flanked by a large museum dedicated to the Armenian community and where religious memory occupies a significant place.

La culture de la vigne et la fabrication de vin sont même autorisés aux Chrétiens, non seulement pour l’exercice du culte, mais également pour leur consommation quotidienne . The viticulture and wine making are even allowed to Christians, not only for worship but also for their daily consumption.

Plus encore, la constitution iranienne garantit aux Chrétiens un nombre de sièges minimum , qui leur assurent une représentation systématique au Parlement iranien, alors que leur dispersion sur les cantons électoraux ne leur permettrait pas, normalement, d’obtenir un seul député. More importantly, the Iranian Constitution guarantees the Christians a minimum number of seats, which ensure a systematic representation of the Iranian Parliament, while their dispersion on the electoral districts would not allow them normally get a single MP.

L’Iran chiite respecte ainsi à la lettre les injonctions du Coran, qui oblige tout Musulman à protéger les « gens du Livre », Chrétiens et Juifs, ces derniers, au nombre de vingt-cinq mille environ, bénéficiant en Iran des mêmes droits que les Chrétiens. Shiite Iran is delivering the letter to the injunctions of the Koran, which requires every Muslim to protect the “People of the Book, Christians and Jews, the latter, the number of twenty-five mile, enjoying the same rights in Iran that Christians. » ”

Batman Goes to Paris

29 December 2010, 04:39:59 | noreply@blogger.com (tiberge)

A reader sent me the link to this fascinating article. Like all kids I used to read comics, until about the age of thirteen, then I stopped and never looked back. I understand that many people are great buffs of comic books and often have huge collections of older editions. Maybe it is an art form, like animated cartoons, because of its potential to provide an interpretation of events disguised as entertainment. But like all art forms it can be used for good or evil, for education, for pleasure, for fun, for propaganda, or as a catharsis for the author’s secret fantasies and hidden urges.

This review of the DC Comics Batman series, from Breitbart, shows that the Islamization of France, and the political propaganda that has been spewing forth from that country for many years, is now fodder for the most unlikely artistic output – kids’ comics:

Reality isn’t always very fun. Because of that many people turn to comic books for a little escapism. But there’s escapism and PC indoctrination. Sadly, it appears that DC Comics’ Batman is angling for the latter and not the former. You see, Batman has decided to hire a Muslim to “save France.”

First the reality. The country of France is having serious domestic problems between its immigrant Muslim community and those natural-born, European Frenchmen. Immigrants have been rampaging across the country for several years now. Clashes between police and large groups of rioting Muslim youth have wreaked havoc on the Gallic nation. Violence is all too common — it is woefully common for hundreds of cars to be lit afire in these riots and dozens of arrests to be made. It has the country split and frightened.

It has gotten so bad in France that in some parts of its cities, those parts controlled by marauding gangs of Muslim youths, whites never enter for fear of their lives. Not only that but not even police dare enter these areas. This dangerous situation does not seem anywhere near being solved. In fact, it’s just getting worse.

Now for the fantasy: enter The Batman.

DC Comics recently launched a series called “Batman Incorporated.” Essentially, Bruce Wayne (well-known as Batman’s alter ego to comics fans) is cruising the world setting up a “Batman” for major cities across the globe. These Batman figures, though, will not be vigilantes. They will be sanctioned by whatever local police force is in charge of the area in which the new Batman is operating. In the case of Detective Comics number 12 (Part one) and Batman Annual number 28 (Part two), Bruce Wayne has come to Paris, France to find a “French savior.”

The story reveals to us a cult-like group that is assassinating France’s fringe political figures. The cult’s goal is to cause unrest and riots to be led by the murdered political figure’s followers. This group hypnotizes its members to kill and then to commit suicide so that the cult cannot be discovered.

First a “popular” French union activist “with ties to the French Communist Party” is murdered. Next the leader of a “break-away Neo-Nazi Party” is killed. Then Batman discovers that a “minor diplomat” from Saudi Arabia is targeted. Batman tries to stop the assassination but is too late.

Batman turns to a man that he helped police arrest earlier in part one. When first encountered the young man was dressed in a skin-tight, black costume and sported a face mask. Batman arrested him when this man tried to involve himself in some rioting. Batman didn’t know the young masked man was actually trying to stop the riot but later learns of his good intentions. Consequently the Dark Knight decides to put this man to work to help stop the cult that is assassinating French political figures and causing riots.

In the course of this story Batman, aka Bruce Wayne, decides that this man should become the French representative of Batman Incorporated. As Wayne styles the man, he’ll be the “French savior.” He ends up calling himself Nightrunner.

So what’s wrong with all this? Only that it is completely absurd and so badly misleads people from any understanding of why riots are really going on in France that it almost qualifies as a crime itself.

You see, DC Comics has decided that the “French savior,” the French Batman is to be a Muslim immigrant. The character’s name is Bilal Asselah and he is an Algerian Sunni Muslim and an immigrant that is physically fit and adept at gymnastic sport Parkour. Apparently Batman couldn’t find any actual Frenchman to be the “French savior.”

The whole situation is a misreading of what ails France. The truth is, neither communist Union members nor “Neo-Nazi” Parties are causing riots in France. Muslims are. Yet DC Comics is absurdly making a Muslim immigrant the “French savior”? This is PCism at its worst. Not only that but it is pretty condescending to France, too. France is a proud nation. Yet DC Comics has made a foreigner the “French savior.” This will not sit well with many Frenchmen, for sure. Nor should it.

As DC told the tale of this character’s origin, it badly downplays the seriousness of the actual racial tension in France. In essence, all you get from the story is that “they hate us, and we hate them.” There is no attempt at all to explain the real underlying problem. The true cause of the riots and violence between Frenchmen of European stock and that of immigrant Muslim stock is glossed over as if it doesn’t even exist. DC Comics makes the whole problem as simplistic as mere racism as if that is all there is to it ignoring the fact that Islam is the single most important factor in the strife.

Unfortunately, readers of Batman will not be helped to understand what troubles are really besetting France. In this age when Muslim youths are terrorizing the entire country, heck in this age of international Muslim terrorism assaulting the whole world, Batman’s readers will be confused by what is really going on in the world. Through it all DC makes a Muslim in France a hero when French Muslims are at the center of some of the worst violence in the country’s recent memory. (…)

Joyeux Noël à tous!

Thanks to Zazie for the beautiful photo, and to all who have sent so many kind thoughts and comments during the past several days. Let’s hope that 2011 brings us the courage to continue (or to start) resisting the enemies of our civilization.

I never pray for specific things, only for the courage to get through whatever I have to get through. 2011 will not be easy, it will be the anniversary of 9/11 and we are so much worse off now than we ever thought we would be. France will be embroiled in campaign politics, and Nicolas Sarkozy will do whatever is necessary to win. Marine Le Pen is rising in popularity – let’s hope she has the wisdom to unite under one banner the various factions struggling to save their country. Let’s hope, above all, that she doesn’t back off or apologize or attempt to save face when she makes a statement that is too strong for the fragile hearts of the “bien-pensants.”

Jim’s broad span of research encompasses Egyptian and Sumerian mythology, Nazi technology, the ET presence, modern geopolitical analysis, the power of the military-industrial complex, the Illuminati, and what one might call the real history of the twentieth century.

Jim sees the big picture clearly, has great command of detail, and is one of the strongest speakers on the lecture circuit today. The title of this video – The Rise of the Fourth Reich in America – tells its own story, and in this 75 minute interview Jim lays out the compelling and disturbing evidence that while most people thought the Second World War ended in 1945, the Nazis were never stopped in their agenda – which can only be understood when one considers how they were assisted in coming to power by those Controllers who plan in terms of generations… not terms of government office.

The Barcelona Exopolitics Summit 23-26 July 2009

3.  Bob Dean’s Conference Presentation, 25 July

Bob Dean gives his 75 minute presentation in which he showed a number of impressive, suppressed NASA images – and at the end of which Henry Deacon went on to the stage with Kerry Cassidy to state that he had visited the Mars base as part of his classified work. This is a fantastic presentation and shows Bob Dean, 80 years old, word perfect, fluent, passionate, at his very finest.

Project Camelot was invited to attend the Barcelona Exopolitics Summit to moderate an in-depth Panel Discussion between the speakers. While we were there, we took part in and/or filmed the following presentations or discussions – in date order of occurrence:

1.  Speakers Panel on Disclosure, 23 July

Featuring (left to right): Paola Harris, Brian O’Leary, Bob Dean, Stephen Bassett, Kerry Cassidy, Bill Ryan, Michael Salla, Alfred Webre, Nick Pope, and Robert Fleischer. Dr Steven Greer was invited by the Barcelona conference organizers, but declined to take part.

Project Camelot- The Big Picture

THEY SAW THE CRASH COMING- THEY SAW PRESENT TROUBLE IN KOREA COMING- WHEN IF BOTH ARE NOT BROUGHT ABOUT BY OUR LEADERS?

The best place to hide is in the open.

Project Camelot is based on an idea generated when we first met and spent the weekend in Tintagel, England, overlooking the sea in the home of King Arthur. We named our project in tribute to the vision behind the utopian idea of the Round Table – and have structured all our efforts in this inspiring spirit.

For the past two years we have been financing Project Camelot solely out of our own pockets and with the generous help of donations from visitors to our site. We thank you sincerely all for your help and support, without which we could not do what we do.

To date, we have traveled widely meeting and interviewing truth-tellers in the effort to provide enlightening testimony about the true nature of our world. We will continue as long as our funds and contributions make this all possible.

Note: for those who are wondering about the Cheetah logo… It is a nod to the famous MGM Lion. We are the new wave and we are the internet…and faster.

The following is a detailed summary of our tentative, current understanding of the core issues related to the presence of the visitors, and the possible earth changes that may be ahead of us.

By its very nature it is subject to change and revision at any time, as the Big Picture comes into focus and becomes clearer. It is also intended to provoke thought and to invite readers to do their own research and analysis. It would be extraordinary if every detail below were correct.

Much of this information is also elsewhere on this site (in interview form or on the Henry Deacon pages) and elsewhere, but the summary below may be a useful synopsis for the purposes of discussion.

_____________________________

The Roswell Catastrophe

The visitors who crashed at Roswell were future humans¹. They were not from another planet², but from a future Earth – stepping (which may be a better word than traveling) back in time to 1947 to attempt to deal with serious problems which had occurred in their history³. Their mission was to try to change their past by creating an alternative branch of their own timeline, so that particular events – about to happen to us in our very near future – would not actually occur.

The Roswell visitors were on a purely altruistic mission. They did not have to do this, but chose to… out of compassion. But the mission went disastrously wrong – not just because they crashed (an accident caused by high-powered radar – later the military realized this and made use of radar as a weapon), but because they had a device with them which was their only means, as an orientation device in time and space, to get them home and back to their own time.

The device was a little box, highly advanced and multifunctional in nature, and was far smaller than the “Looking Glass” that Dan Burisch⁴ and Bill Hamilton⁵ describe as being subsequently utilized by military scientists in various experiments. When the box was acquired and investigated by the military, this became a catastrophe in itself. It made the timeline problem many times worse, because this both introduced time manipulation technology to us at the wrong time… and also told the military what lay ahead.

It can not be stressed too strongly how totally calamitous for us all the Roswell incident was. It was a major, major setback, right at the start of the future humans’ project to help fix the problem. Acquiring a device such as that which the Roswell visitors carried would immediately alter the timeline which the future humans were trying to change in the first place… so there would then be two timelines that need fixing, and not just one.

NOAA, the Dark Star, and Global Warming

A small organization within NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is aware of what scientists there sometimes call the “second sun”. This is a massive astronomical object, possibly a brown dwarf⁶, which is on a long elliptical orbit around our own sun on an inclined plane to the rest of the planets. To align with other researchers⁷, we’ll refer to this as the Dark Star.

The Dark Star is now approaching, and is causing resonance effects on our sun in various ways⁸. This is the cause of the warming of all the planets, not just the Earth⁹. This information is classified, but has been known for a number of years¹⁰.

This issue is connected with the Roswell catastrophe described above. The problems the future humans were attempting to address were multiple, but principally featured a possible event triggered by a massive ‘spike’ of solar activity at some point in our currently near future.

We emphasize most strongly that this event is only possible (having been observed in Looking Glass devices in a possible future)… and, importantly, is now evaluated to be unlikely¹¹.

The increase in solar activity is caused only in part by the Dark Star, multiple factors being at play. These are complex. Some of them are on a galactic scale¹², and are associated with natural, periodic events which the Earth has suffered through a number of times previously. What makes this particular time completely unique for our planet is that there is a convergence of serious factors – such as global warming¹³, overpopulation, and our propensity for choreographing war¹⁴ – all of which combine with these major, cyclic and solar events to simultaneously threaten the well-being of ourselves and the biosphere.

The large-scale events are unstoppable. It’s also unclear when the ‘spike’ of solar activity is due to be – though our understanding is that this is imminent, and could occur at any time in the next ten years or so. Although the issue has been considerably hyped, it’s impossible not to observe that the year 2012¹⁵ is right in the middle of this bell-curve of probability.

What is possible, however, is to minimize the effects of the solar event. Evaluated Looking Glass data concludes that there is a 19% probability of the worse case scenario occurring, with 85% confidence that that 19% figure is correct¹⁶. It seems we’re off the hook… although no matter what timeline one is on, significant problems lie ahead with the man-made crises that surround us (exacerbated by solar activity).

Insurance: Underground Bases, Project Preserve Destiny, and the Martian Colony

Readers may by now have made the connection with the trillions of dollars¹⁷ spent in recent decades by various military agencies on underground bases in a number of different countries¹⁸. Given the possibility of an imminent near-ELE (extinction level event)¹⁹, a cynic would argue that it’s a smart use of our tax dollars to ensure that at least some humans survive²⁰.

Other readers will connect this potential scenario with the story told by Dan Sherman²¹, in straightforward, unassuming and sober fashion, in which he was trained as an IC (Intuitive Communicator) as a preparation for an unknown future event that would include all electronic communications being rendered unusable²². The project he was part of was called Project Preserve Destiny… the title of which gives us a very heavy clue to what this was all about²³.

Researchers who have looked into the claims of the infamous TV program Alternative 3 ²⁴ conclude in the main that the show was a hoax. There is clear evidence that the show was a dramatic portrayal of arguably fictional events. However, it would appear that it may have been accidental disinformation rather than a hoax per se. Certain events portrayed in the program²⁵ are markedly similar to the scenario presented here.

Among those is the existence of a substantial Mars base, established in the early 1960s and supplied by a combination of stargates²⁶ and an advanced, classified space program codenamed SOLAR WARDEN²⁷. The Mars base apparently has a number of functions²⁸ but among those would certainly be the ensured survival of the human species should anything untoward happen on or to our home planet.

What Can Be Done?

As has been written above, the major, cyclic large-scale events that are set to occur are unstoppable by us or any other race, no matter how advanced their technology. But what can be mitigated are certain effects. Much remains under our control, although as every day passes the clock is ticking: carbon emissions are not helping¹³; choreographed and orchestrated war¹⁴ adds to the chaos; and new diseases and possible pandemics²⁹ may be controllable if we act in harness.

This is no different a warning than has been stated by many other messengers in recent years, but we place this in a context where the stakes are rather higher than usually recognized. It IS possible to work together to make a difference in a situation in which the backs of the human race may be up against the wall.

On an individual level, more is possible. Michael St Clair³⁰ says simply: find a safe place, and do it now. Many others agree. It may be smart to avoid living on the coast, on low-lying land, on a fault zone, in a major city, or on the sides of a volcano. Fresh water is likely to be a major issue. Some analysts consider the southern hemisphere (Australia?) to be safer than the north, as the craziness of orchestrated war threatens.

Remember that global warming will really start to bite in the near future. The Atlantic Conveyor³¹ may conceivably shut down, plunging Europe into a deep freeze. The warmer the Earth gets, the more evaporation there will be from the sea; so expect Katrina-scale hurricanes (in the west) and cyclones (in the east – they’re pretty much the same thing), and disrupted and extreme weather patterns everywhere.

There is a metaphysical approach, too. Lynne McTaggart³² in her new book The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life argues as she did in her previous work, The Field, that consciousness is a factor that can and does affect macro-scale events. We would wholeheartedly agree. Morphic fields³³ – templates or patterns of manifestations yet to unfold – are as powerful and influential as they are invisible; and morphic resonance is also amenable to the power of thought³⁴.

It’s even possible to bootstrap oneself into an optimum (least worst) timeline… though there’s no instruction book on a mechanical means to do this. Spiritual methodologies such as the many forms of Meditation and other Yogic practice, Buddhism, Sufiism and Shamanism can assist one here. (This is far from an exclusive list, and may include some of the major organized religions. Prayer, if well understood and applied by a mature and aware spirit, is certainly capable of working miracles.)

Times are changing, and global awareness (actually, a large morphic field) is gradually being heightened. The real question is, how fast? The way to put one’s shoulder to the wheel is to add one’s own strong and optimistic intention to the concept of the positive outcome. And like all such mental or spiritual gymnastics, this has to be real: it cannot be faked.

Footnotes:

1. This information has been reported by Dan Burisch. See our interviews page and also Dan Burisch’s website.
   Not all visitors are time travelers. There are a great many races currently visiting this planet; many of these are genuine extraterrestrials. Reported numbers vary, but the respected witness Sgt. Clifford Stone, for example, says he knew of 57. Other witnesses have reported numbers of a similar order of magnitude.
   The motivations of the visitors are likely to vary as much as human agendas do. We can safely assume that some are benevolent and altruistic; some are evil and self-serving; and others may have agendas we can only guess at and may be beyond human understanding.
   
2. According to Burisch, some of the subsequent visitors were future humans who were (at that future time) based on other planets, and no longer on the future Earth.
   
3. This matter is complex. According to Burisch, some future humans are benevolent, while others are actually seeking to ensure that history is not changed; see note 23 below.
4. Dan Burisch has made detailed technical drawings, from memory, of the ‘Looking Glass’ device he was familiar with. We’ll publish these as soon as we have clearance. Henry Deacon has said that he never worked with or encountered the form of Looking Glass that Burisch described, and therefore is not in a position to confirm it.
5. Bill Hamilton described the Looking Glass in some detail on this page of his website. (Note: the image shown is not the real thing; this is taken from the movie The Time Machine.) The text is also reproduced here.
6. See Andy Lloyd’s excellent website here, and the Binary Research Institute’s website here. For a series of excellent graphics depicting the Dark Star’s possible orbit, click here.
7. Researchers differ in some details, but the consensus is that this is probably a brown dwarf. Deacon only referred to it as a massive astronomical object, causing serious gravitational and other effects. Burisch has stated in personal correspondence that his best recall is that he had been told that this object was a small black hole.
8. The mechanism is unclear, but appears to include electromagnetic, gravitational, and other resonance effects.
9. This information is in the public domain. It has been observed, for instance that Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are all warming up. There are many other references. Click here to read David Wilcock’s and Richard Hoagland’s comprehensive and detailed research into ‘climate change’ affecting every planet in our solar system.
10. A possible contender for the companion star was announced in 1983 by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) team, reporting a Jupiter-sized object at a distance of 550 astronomical units (550 times the Earth’s distance from the sun). The report was withdrawn soon afterwards, though IRAS have always claimed this was not a cover-up. Deacon reports that the small organization within NOAA has known about the “second sun” for a decade or possibly much longer, but has never made any public reference to it.
11. Burisch has stated on record that according to the most recent computer-analyzed Looking Glass data, there is a 19% chance of the worse case scenario occurring, with 85% confidence in that 19% figure.
12. Burisch and Deacon both report that the principal factors at play are large scale and galactic in nature, linked with long-term, recurring cycles of influence on the Earth. Read this article about the correlation between cosmic ray activity and global warming, for instance.
13. Al Gore, in his acclaimed documentary An Inconvenient Truth, makes the case for the harmful effect of increased carbon emissions with considerable impact. However, the real cause of global warming almost certainly lies with other larger scale causes (see note 9 above).
14. The Report from Iron Mountain, among other documents in the public domain, references the organized and orchestrated requirement for war in order to maintain macro-scale economic and social stability.
15. 21 December, 2012 is when the famous Mayan calendar comes to an end. Much has been written in speculation about the reasons why the Mayans saw no need to extend their calendar beyond that date. Deacon and Burisch state that this apparently exact date is not a precise prediction and that the solar events in question could occur at almost any time in the window 2007 – 2016.
16. See note 11 above. Because (according to Burisch) steps were taken to decommission certain devices which were in danger of triggering massively amplified earth changes at the time of the solar ‘spike’, Burisch is confident in this calculation. Deacon states the the situation is continually subject to change, and is less sure of the figures.
17. See this site for some details, and also many others.
18. There are persistent reports of underground bases in the US, the UK, Puerto Rico, France, Germany, Norway, Canada, Australia, South America and Antarctica.
    Click here, here and here for three interesting photos of giant tunnel boring machines.
    There are also undersea bases, confirmed by Deacon and researched by Dr. Richard Sauder and others.
19. Burisch reports that according to Looking Glass data, in the worse case scenario up to 94% of the Earth’s population might be killed over the period of a small number of years following the catastrophe.
20. Any high-level military scenario planning would be based on the premise that not everyone could be saved if the world’s population were under serious threat.
21. Sherman’s story is told in his excellent e-book, Above Black.
22. It’s accepted by scientists that one of the possible effects from a sufficiently major solar ‘spike’ is that on Earth all electronic communications might be rendered unusable for some time.
23. The title Project Preserve Destiny is chilling, implying that the project may be based on the premise that a cataclysmic future event has been observed through very high technology time-portal devices… and that it is to be ensured that what has been observed must occur. Burisch reports that a certain group of future humans, whom he calls The Rogues and who come from approx. 45,000 years hence, are committed to making sure that events in their history do indeed come to pass in our timeline and are not averted.
24. Alternative 3 was shown by UK’s Anglia TV on 20 June, 1977 – although it was initially scheduled to be premiered on 1 April. Anglia TV made a statement the day after the program that it had been intended as a joke.
    Click here for to see a streaming video of the program itself (54 mins).
    Click here for a newspaper cutting in which Leslie Watkins, who authored the book of the same name, reveals that although he intended it as fiction in support of the TV program, he appears to have accidentally hit on something very real with the premise he portrayed.
25. The premise described in the TV program (and the book) was that to deal with the twin problems of overpopulation and global warming, there were three alternative solutions:
    Alternative 1: to drastically reduce the human population on Earth;
    Alternative 2: to construct a network of underground bases to safeguard a small, elite population;
    Alternative 3: to establish a ‘Noah’s Ark’ colony of humanity’s best and brightest off of the planet – on Mars.
26. According to Deacon, stargates are routinely used for transport to distant locations, ‘travel time’ being instantaneous.
27. Deacon reports that SOLAR WARDEN encompasses a small fleet of large, highly classified spaceplanes.
28. According to Deacon, the Mars base is multifunctional and has a large population of around 670,000 (not all of whom are present-day humans). Situated underground on the bottom of an ancient dried-up sea, it has, apparently, been in existence for thousands of years but was recently re-established in the early 1960s by an international team. Its functions include stargate access to more distant locations still.
29. HIV, SARS, Avian (‘bird’) flu, and other modern scares – whether orchestrated or not – come to mind.
30. See ourinterviews page for more on Michael St Clair, a well-known visionary and astrologer who predicts major problems in the coming few years and who advocates prudently identifying safe places to live. (St Clair has already moved to live in a small community in a remote location.)
31. Click here for a summary of the importance of the Atlantic Conveyor, a critical component of the oceanic circulatory system. If the Atlantic Conveyor were to shut down (as might be triggered by a massive amount of cool water flooding into the North Atlantic from, for instance, the melting of Arctic ice or Greenland glaciers), then the warm waters of the Gulf Stream would no longer reach European shores and Europe would experience a much cooler climate… despite global warming.
32. Lynne McTaggart’s book, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life, is available here. She is also the author of the ground-breaking book, The Field.
33. The British Biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake introduced the concepts of Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance in his revolutionary 1981 book A New Science of Life: The Hypothesis of Formative Causation. Simply put, Sheldrake argues that species create Morphic Fields – templates based on accumulated experience that have an an effect on the behaviors, attitudes and abilities of subsequent members of the same species – which influence others encountering the same situations at the same or a later time.
34. The relevance here is that humans can consciously create Morphic Fields, which influence others once a critical mass of intention is gathered. It’s one way in which a small group, powerfully and positively focused, can gradually change the world.
