[07/23/23] Orientation for new readers
As I read and write more about pre- and post-1959 Catholic teaching as they relate to current geopolitical events, I want to emphasize that I’m on a learning curve, and my views are developing as my knowledge base deepens.
Prior to Covid, my foundation for this work included my upbringing in a mixed family (traditional Catholic, American father and Protestant, European mother) in the 1970s and 1980s, followed by a basic education in philosophy and natural sciences at Penn State University, followed by work in journalism, civic activism (community organizing) and as a paralegal doing legal research and writing for attorneys practicing constitutional, civil rights and environmental law.
My interest in the relationship between pre- and post-1959 Catholic teaching and current geopolitical events began around 2003, when I read Malachi Martin’s The Keys of This Blood for the first time.
My interest intensified in early 2020 once I realized that 1) the intrinsically-evil Covid-predicated global crime spree was built on the corruption of civil law during the preceding decades, and 2) the corruption of civil law, especially in the Western world, was enabled by the dis-integration of Catholic teaching and erosion of Catholic faith during and since the Second Vatican Council.
Those realizations prompted me to read Fr. Martin’s book a second time in 2021, and then led me to papal encyclicals by Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius IX, Pope Pius X, Pope Pius XI, Pope Pius XII and the writings of Josef Pieper, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, among many other Catholic works. — The point being: the accuracy and clarity of my work will develop as I continue to learn and better grasp and apply definitions and concepts.

■ July 26, 2023 - Population Control Policy. Why would my government want to kill me? Don't they need the GDP growth?
💬...It is important to realize that there is no scientific or humanitarian basis in “public health policies” as they exists today in the United States and globally. That machinery exists to drive the population control policy. There is no scientific or humanitarian basis mandating vaccinations with now close to 100 different poisons. Vaccines do not create health. Yet, this is squarely among the UN’s “sustainable goals.
💬 The public health system must be dismantled, because it is a camouflaged warfare program actively engaged in controlling and killing civilians under emergency pretexts and lies.
On interpretation of selective silence
Some things are difficult for some leading voices among the Covid-times anti-tyranny voices to say publicly. Four of those things:
1. Vaccines and biochemical weapons are interchangeable terms for a single product class jointly manufactured and distributed by pharmaceutical companies and the US military for use by militarized health care providers on targets.
2. Observed harms caused by use of biochemical weapons labeled as vaccines, on targets, are intentional.
3. Intentional infliction of pain and death, on targets, using biochemical weapons labeled as vaccines, is State-sponsored. Governments have done it to their people in the past, are doing it right now, and clearly indicate their plans to continue doing it in the future.
4. State sponsorship of the intentional injury and killing of people is coerced through central bank control of money, such that governments are under the direct daily control of central banks, and democratic rituals (such as elections and legislative activity) are performative only. Government officials who try to refuse sponsorship of intentional mass murder (i.e., by speaking or legislating in authentic, non-performative ways) are subject to overwhelming reprisals: currency destruction, economic collapse, lockouts from international financial transaction systems, fomented internal civil disorder, government overthrow and assassination.

The Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza is funded by the United States according to Joe Iosbaker, an American political analyst and a leader of the Anti-War Committee – Chicago.
💬 “The US government leads the world in many things, among them military spending, wars and interventions. It is well-known that the Israeli genocide in Gaza is being funded by the United States, and that the bombs and missiles are provided by the United States,” Iosbaker said in an exclusive interview with Press TV on Tuesday.
💬 “And show me a country that has a worse record of human rights violations against its own population. It’s a disgrace how the government treats the immigrants from Latin America, and now the Palestinians,” he stated.
💬 “We know you don’t judge a person by what they think of themselves. To quote the great Black revolutionary, Malcolm X: ‘I speak as a victim of America's so-called democracy. You and I have never seen democracy, all we've seen is hypocrisy.’”
The activist said that across the “United States, millions of people have marched in the streets condemning ‘Genocide Joe’ Biden.”

[06/17/23] It is now more than three years since the covid-19 pandemic started, and two almost self-evident statements summarize the most important lessons learned.
1. Without the draconian handling of the authorities, the pandemic would have passed under the radar for most people.
2. Negative consequences such as bankruptcies, inflation, lack of schooling, school refusal and depression are solely due to the government's handling of the pandemic and not the Corona virus.
The justification for the first claim is that if the authorities had not shut down and established a test regime with quarantine of healthy people, the mass media had refrained from provoking fear in the population with war headlines and NRK [Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation] had refrained from listing the number of infected and dead many times a day, most people would not have known that a respiratory pandemic with a new virus was sweeping through the population. Most of us have had Covid both once and twice. Covid causes flu-like symptoms and is a mild illness for most people. We are used to such respiratory infections.
Covid has a slightly higher mortality rate than ordinary flu, but very few people know anyone who has died from Covid. I've asked many people and they all say no. This is consistent with the fact that only one in a thousand infected people die from Covid, according to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Empirical studies show that the authorities' handling had little or no effect on infection or death. It is therefore self-evident that without the authorities' handling and the mass media's war headlines, most people would not have experienced the pandemic like anything other than what they are used to during flu seasons.
If you want to know the truth about vaccines and vaccinations please read my book Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying: Here’s the truth. You can find it for sale on Amazon.
1. The UK is now sending long range missiles to Ukraine. And the UK is sending troops too. This takes us one big step closer to nuclear war. And, not to be outdone, the US is providing Ukraine with missiles and intelligence from Airborne Warning and Control systems (AWAC) patrols. This leaves Russia little option but to shoot down the American aircraft. It is patently clear that NATO wants a full-blooded nuclear war. (If you haven’t seen them please watch my videos: `Why they need world war III’ (first broadcast on 3rd May 2022) and `Urgent Warning to Everyone’ (first broadcast on 9th February 2023). Both videos are available on vernoncoleman.org and on my channel on BrandNewTube.
It is, I think, fair to say that if Ukraine and NATO appear to be winning this war there will be a nuclear war because the Russians will not go quietly into defeat. Remember that the Russians lost around 25 million men in World War II, defending their country against a German invasion. The Russians would fight just as hard against America. NATO members should all keep out of the dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Anyone waving a Ukraine flag with enthusiasm is a war mongering psychopath. I will repeat my advice given some while ago: wherever you live keep an eye on the whereabouts of your nation’s President or Prime Minister. If two or more senior figures leave the capital at the same time then it might be time for you to consider leaving too. So, in the UK, I would consider it a possible warning sign if both Charles and Sunak quietly left London for their country homes (or, in the case of Charles, one of his many country homes.)
Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried has just been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a judge for stealing $8 billion from customers of the now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange he founded. | The sentencing is the last step in the former billionaire wunderkind’s dramatic downfall. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan handed down the sentence at a Manhattan court hearing after rejecting Bankman-Fried’s claim that FTX customers did not actually lose money. Kaplan also accused Bankman-Fried of lying during his trial testimony. Aside from running FTX, Bankman-Fried was also the second largest donor to the Democrats after George Soros during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles. A jury found Bankman-Fried, 32, guilty on November 2 on seven fraud and conspiracy counts. The charges stem from FTX’s 2022 collapse.

Doctors have begun to sound the alarm after soaring numbers of patients have developed deadly brain tumors after receiving Covid mRNA vaccines. | Medical professionals around the world are now warning the public about the spike. In some cases, doctors warn that people are discovering tumors within days of being vaccinated for Covid. However, experts say that most patients had experienced continuous migraines in the days leading up to the disturbing diagnoses. Doctors have now issued an alert that continued migraines after Covid mRNA injections could be a sign of something much worse.
SWIFT planning launch of new central bank digital currency platform in 12-24 months | Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters. The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT's key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched. SWIFT's head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took six months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and "tokenised" assets to date.

Mick Hall | A former New Zealand prime minister says Washington is the likely culprit behind a signals intelligence system that, according to a report, existed for nearly a decade without the government knowing. | New Zealand’s public should be deeply concerned over revelations its security state facilitated a suspected U.S. intelligence operation capable of supporting military actions for nearly a decade without the New Zealand government’s knowledge, a constitutional lawyer says. ● A report has revealed that a signals intelligence system embedded in the country’s Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) ran from 2012 to 2020 without ministerial knowledge or approval after a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in secret. The GCSB is the equivalent of the GCHQ in Britain and the NSA in the U.S. It collects, assesses and produces reports on foreign intelligence for other New Zealand agencies.The GCSB operates a satellite monitoring station at Waihopia near Blenheim and a radio receiving station at Tangimoana at Foxton, both capable of collecting foreign and domestic intelligence. ● A report by the country’s Inspector-General of Intelligence Brendan Horsley released last Thursday found that an unnamed country had used the infrastructure to intercept and decode messages that could be used to support “military actions by foreign partners.” Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said the agency behind the scheme likely belonged to the U.S. The report makes it clear senior staff working on signals intelligence system memos of understanding were aware of how politically significant it was and the potential legal implications it posed.
Russian prisoners of war have been tortured in Ukraine between December 2023 and February 2024, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said. | The employees of the OHCHR visited 44 Russian prisoners of war in Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lvov, Nikolayev, Sumy, Vinnitsa and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine from December 2023 to February 2024. Ukrainian authorities do not sufficiently prosecute those responsible for torture, violence against civilians and prisoners of war, the OHCHR said.

Russia’s Investigative Committee announced in the early hours of Saturday that the death toll in the attack on a packed music venue outside Moscow has risen to more than 60. According to health officials, nearly 150 were wounded, including several children. | Unidentified gunmen stormed the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk on Friday night and opened fire at people who had come for a rock performance. ● The building was set on fire during the assault. The fate of the militants remains unclear as commando units and the National Guard are responding to the attack. ● Investigators, meanwhile, continue to recover the bodies and have warned that the number of fatalities may grow even more. Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said that forensic experts are collecting physical evidence and studying the security cameras. ● According to videos posted to social media, there were at least five gunmen. They killed security guards and proceeded to indiscriminately fire at people in the lobby. A group of assailants was filmed shooting concert-goers in the music auditorium.
■ (8 Mar 2024) US, UK embassies warn of possible terror attack in Moscow in 24 hours (Al Mayadeen) — The warning initially issued by the US embassy was reiterated by the UK's embassy, advising American citizens to steer clear of large gatherings for the next 48 hours. It stressed that it is “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts”.

Several US Jews have lashed out at former President Donald Trump after his recent remarks accusing Jewish Democrats of disloyalty to their faith. | To many Jewish leaders in a demographic that has overwhelmingly identified as Democratic and supported President Joe Biden in 2020, Trump's latest comments promoted harmful antisemitic stereotypes, painting Jews as having divided loyalties and that there's only one right way to be Jewish religiously.

On Tuesday, four critical care doctors who recently returned from Gaza spoke to the UN. “I saw the most appalling atrocities, and I saw things I never would have expected to have seen in any healthcare setting,” Dr. Nick Maynard said, adding that he saw “mass indiscriminate bombing” and targeting of healthcare workers. | Americans do not understand how badly the United States’ reputation has been damaged across the world, which sees Gaza as “a US genocide” and “not just an Israeli genocide,” Mohammad Marandi, a professor of English literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Thursday.
💬 “It’s revealing the reality of [the US] empire in a way that not even [author of ‘A People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn] could do because it’s being done in front of our eyes, it’s being done in front of a global audience. We’ve never seen such a thing before,” Marandi said, adding that he suspects that is why the US is attempting to ban TikTok.
Hundreds of migrants stormed the US-Mexico border in the state of Texas on Thursday, overwhelming National Guard troops patrolling the area, according to media outlets. | Border officials said the migrants breached the razor wire barriers in the city of El Paso by covering them with clothing and cardboard in an attempt to jump over the barricades and gain entry into the US. The Texas National Guard managed to round up the migrants and loaded them into vehicles to be brought to an immigration processing center. ● This latest incident comes during a tumultuous battle between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and President Joe Biden's administration regarding arrest jurisdiction of the hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing into the United States illegally every month. Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) was approved by lawmakers, allowing state law enforcement officials to arrest illegal migrants and for state judges to be able to sentence them up to six months in jail or deport them. Repeat offenders would face between two and 20 years in prison. The US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that SB 4 could go into effect, allowing state arrest mandates of illegal migrants to be carried out. But just hours later, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a hold on the bill until further notice. ● According to US Customs and Border officials, nearly 250,000 migrants crossed the southern border in December 2023 alone, marking the highest monthly total on record. [Incredibly,] US immigration law allows migrants to turn themselves into Border Patrol agents in order to seek asylum.

“Israeli” Reserve General Itzhak Brik admitted that “Israel” has “lost the war against Hamas, and continues to lose its allies around the world.” | He [...] said “‘Israel’ cannot continue lying to its people, because what is happening in Gaza and on the northern front against Hezbollah will come back to blow up in their faces, revealing the reality of matters.“ ● He slammed the strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities “Israel” lacks because they “prefer to live in delusion, and deal with images that please their audience and the army.” ● Brik pointed out that “The Chief of Staff has been isolated, silent, and at a loss of control of the ground for a long time, so he began appointing colonels and lieutenants in his likeness and image.” ● He said this in itself is a scandal and “the most dangerous failure since the establishment of the ‘Israeli’ military.”

Cesar Chelala | This is an incredibly callous statement by an insensitive, uncaring man: In a March 8, 2024 interview with Tarek Masoud, faculty chair of Harvard University’s Middle East Initiative, Kushner said, 💬 “You may want to get as many civilians out of Rafah as possible. I think you want to clear that out. I know that with diplomacy maybe you get them into Egypt. I know that that has been refused, but [with] the right diplomacy I think it would be possible. But in addition to that, the thing that I would try to do if I was Israel right now is I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there. I know that won’t be the popular thing to do, but I think that that’s a better option to do so you can go in and finish the job.”

Former US President Barack Obama has reportedly flown - in absolute secrecy - to the United Kingdom, and upon landing, was taken directly to 10 Downing Street to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Officials in #10 Downing Street are flatly refusing to discuss why Obama is there, or what he will speak with Sunak about. It's all very Hush Hush.
Jared Kushner, Trump's former White House adviser, suggested Israel should remove civilians while it "cleans up" the area. | Donald Trump’s son-in-law and former White House adviser, Jared Kushner, has said Gaza's "waterfront property" has a “very valuable” potential, suggesting Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area.
💬 “Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner said in an interview dated 15 February.
It was posted earlier this month on the YouTube channel of the Middle East Initiative, a programme of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and first reported on Tuesday by The Guardian.
💬 “If you think about all the money that's gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation, what could have been done?” ● “It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but I think from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner added. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”
