FPSRussia Raided By ATF & Police: Viral YouTube Channel Recently Lost Manager To Unsolved Shooting.

*Source: Before It's News

According to the news report below from Online Athens, close to 40 law enforcement officers and ATF members have raided the home of YouTube star Kyle Myers, star of the viral FPSRussia youtube channel. The manager of Myers youtube channel, 32-year-old Keith Richard Ratliff,  was recently killed; a shooting that has not been solved to this day and has been blamed upon secretive US government agencies by conspiracy theorists. Many of them believe that due to the popularity of the FPSRussia YouTube channel with the younger generation, they must be silenced in this day and age of government attacks upon the US Constitution and the 2nd Amendment. No arrests were made.


Nearly 40 law enforcement officers converged Tuesday on the property of a Franklin County man whose business partner was shot to death in January in a homicide that continues to trouble investigators.

U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents supervised the raid geared at finding explosives used by Kyle Myers, 26, because the ATF believes Myers may be violating a federal law regulating such explosives, according to ATF spokesman Richard Coes.

Federal agents, accompanied by Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents and deputies with the sheriff’s offices in Franklin and Hart counties, raided the Royston residence of Myers. Authorities also raided on Tuesday the 60-acre farm of Lamar Myers, Kyle’s father, in Lavonia.

No arrests were made, nor did Coes know if any explosives were seized.

Kyle Myers and his late partner have risen to internet fame due to videos such as the one below which have continuously gone viral.


Obama Signs 'Monsanto Protection Act' Written By Monsanto-Sponsored Senator

United States President Barack Obama has signed a bill into law that was written in part by the very billion-dollar corporation that will benefit directly from the legislation.

On Tuesday, Pres. Obama inked his name to H.R. 933, a continuing resolution spending bill approved in Congress days earlier. Buried 78 pages within the bill exists a provision that grossly protects biotech corporations such as the Missouri-based Monsanto Company from litigation.

With the president’s signature, agriculture giants that deal with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and genetically engineered (GE) seeds are given the go-ahead to continue to plant and sell man-made crops, even as questions remain largely unanswered about the health risks these types of products pose to consumers.

In light of approval from the House and Senate, more than 250,000 people signed a petition asking the president to veto the spending bill over the biotech rider tacked on, an item that has since been widely referred to as the “Monsanto Protection Act.”

“But Obama ignored [the petition],” IB Times’ Connor Sheets writes, “instead choosing to sign a bill that effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of GMO or GE crops and seeds, no matter what health consequences from the consumption of these products may come to light in the future.”

James Brumley, a reporter for Investor Place, explains a little more thoroughly just how dangerous the rider is now that biotech companies are allowed to bypass judicial scrutiny. Up until it was signed, he writes, “the USDA [US Department of Agriculture] oversaw and approved (or denied) the testing of genetically modified seeds, while the federal courts retained the authority to halt the testing or sale of these plants if it felt that public health was being jeopardized. With HR 933 now a law, however, the court system no longer has the right to step in and protect the consumer.”

If the president’s signature isn’t all that surprising, though, consider the genesis of the bill itself. According to an article published Monday in the New York Daily News, US Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) “worked with Monsanto to craft the language in the bill.”



Sen. Blunt defended his bill to the News, shrugging off suggestions that it set a startling precedent that will affect all US agriculture by firing back, “What it says is if you plant a crop that is legal to plant when you plant it, you get to harvest it. But it is only a one-year protection in that bill.”

One year could be all it takes to cause catastrophic damage to the environment by allowing laboratory-produced organisms to be planted into the earth without oversight. Under the Monsanto Protection Act, health concerns that arise in the immediate future involving the planting of GMO crops won’t be able to be heard by a judge. Blunt, a junior senator that has held elected office since the late ‘90s, has good reason to whitewash the very bill he helped craft. The Center for Responsive Politics notes that Sen. Blunt received $64,250 from Monsanto to go towards his campaign committee between 2008 and 2012. The Money Monocle website adds that Blunt has been the largest Republican Party recipient of Monsanto funding as of late.

On the lawmaker’s official website, a statement explains a little more as to why he favored HR 933 and the rider within it.

“As the Ranking Member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, Senator Blunt played a vital role in writing the fiscal year 2013 Agriculture Appropriations bill. This legislation maintained vital support for research and extension at land grant universities, capacity building grants for non-land grant colleges of agriculture, and competitive funding under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). The bill also included funding for conservation activities, housing and business loan programs for rural communities, domestic and international nutrition programs.”

Nowhere does the senator’s site mention the Monsanto Protection Act by name, although it claims Blunt
 “supports continued investments in agricultural research and engineering.”

“Did Blunt not realize that Monsanto would stand to gain significantly if section 735 survived and HR 933 was signed into law?” asks Brumley. “Not likely,”

“There’s no way of getting around the fact this is an abusive conflict of interest,” he says.

Clearly isn’t Brumley the only one that feels that way either: Blunt’s Wikipedia page was vandalized this week to read in the first paragraph, “His Senate seat was previously held by Republican Kit Bond, until Bond's retirement, and will be sold by Blunt to Monsanto Corporation upon his retirement.”

Pope Wants Church To ‘Intensify’ Dialogue With Islam

*Source: Al Arabiya


 
 Pope Francis celebrated his inaugural mass on Tuesday among political and religious leaders from around the world and amid a wave of hope for a renewal of the scandal-plagued Roman Catholic Church. (AFP)
 
Pope Francis on Friday called for the Roman Catholic Church to “intensify” its dialogue with Islam, echoing hopes in the Muslim world for better ties with the Vatican during his reign.

“It is important to intensify dialogue among the various religions and I am thinking particularly of dialogue with Islam,” the new pontiff said in an address to foreign ambassadors at the Vatican.

Francis’s predecessor Benedict XVI was seen by some Muslim leaders as hostile to Islam and the change at the top had been welcomed by the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam’s highest seat of learning.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, head of the Saudi-based OIC, said earlier this month that he hoped “the relationship between Islam and Christianity will regain its cordiality and sincere friendship”.

Mahmud Azab, adviser for inter-faith affairs to Al-Azhar imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb in Cairo, also told AFP earlier: “As soon as a new policy emerges, we will resume the dialogue with the Vatican”.

Al-Azhar broke off ties in 2011 after Benedict called for the protection of Christian minorities following a suicide bombing at a church in Egypt.

Benedict was also heavily criticized early in his reign when he recounted a Byzantine emperor’s description of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed as a warmonger who spread evil teachings.

In his address on Friday, Francis also called for the Church to dialogue more with non-believers -- returning to an effort begun during Benedict’s reign amid rising secularism in the Western world.

“It is also important to intensify outreach to non-believers so that the differences which divide and hurt us may never prevail but rather the desire to build true links of friendship,” he said.

The Argentine pope said he wanted to “build bridges connecting all people” and said this was particularly significant for him personally because of his own Italian immigrant roots.

“This dialogue between places and cultures a great distance apart matters greatly to me,” he said.

Francis referred to it as a “dialogue between one end of the world and the other, which today are growing ever closer, more interdependent”.

The 76-year-old pope elected last week has named himself after St Francis of Assisi -- a mediaeval Italian saint who shunned riches to live a life of poverty, and he said he wanted the Church to struggle against poverty in all its forms.

“How many poor people there still are in the world!” he said, adding that there was also a “spiritual poverty of our time, which afflicts the so-called rich countries particularly seriously”.

In a further indication of the humble image he has projected ever since being elected last Wednesday, the pope earlier on Thursday celebrated a mass for Vatican gardeners and rubbish collectors.

The Vatican said earlier he will hold a special pre-Easter mass next week in a youth prison during which he will wash the feet of 12 young offenders in a traditional Catholic ritual representing Jesus Christ’s actions with his 12 apostles.

Bell Calls Homosexual ‘Marriage’ a Move of God for ‘Greater Affirmation of Gay Brothers, Sisters’.

*Source: Christian News




Just days after word broke that Rob Bell, author of the best-selling and controversial book Love Wins, which challenges the Christian teaching of Hell, came out in support of the homosexual lifestyle, Bell has reiterated his beliefs to the media.

This week, Odyssey Networks posted a video interview with Bell, during which he further outlined his stance, stating that he believes that the push for homosexual “marriage” is actually a move of God.

“What we’re seeing right now in this day, I believe, [is] God pulling us ahead into greater and greater affirmation and acceptance of our gay brothers and sisters and pastors and friends and neighbors and co-workers,” Bell asserted. “And we’re realizing that God made some of us one way and some of us another.”

“A lot of people when they say, ‘By God [pulling us] ahead, do you mean like same sex marriage?’ Yes,” he continued. “[W]e live in a world where we have friends, neighbors, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles — people we’ve journeyed with for years who are gay. And we need to love, affirm and all of us together work on the real problems we have in the world.”

Bell contended that homosexual relationships should be affirmed because the world is in need of love.
“I think that’s one of the things you’re seeing right now is, you are seeing God pulling us all forward into a greater realization that we need more love. We need more fidelity. We need more monogamy. We need more people who are committed to each other,” he explained. “It’s not good for us to be alone.”

The former pastor then opined that the “old way” of handling the issue of homosexuality is faulty.

“I think lots of us are realizing the old way of seeing things doesn’t work. It causes so much pain and heartache,” Bell said. “And God’s inviting us to see things in new ways. And we need to say yes, and then we need to step into the future together.”



As previously reported, Bell announced last Sunday while speaking at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco that he supported same-sex “marriage.”

“I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it’s a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man,” he said. “I think the ship has sailed and I think the church needs — I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.”

Bell opined that many evangelicals can no longer be classified as conservatives because their beliefs have changed with the times.

“I think we are witnessing the death of a particular subculture that doesn’t work,” he asserted. “I think there is a very narrow, politically intertwined, culturally ghettoized, evangelical subculture that was told ‘we’re gonna change the thing’ and they haven’t. And they actually have turned away lots of people.”

“And I think that when you’re in a part of a subculture that is dying, you make a lot more noise because it’s very painful. You sort of die or you adapt,” Bell continued. “And if you adapt, it means you have to come face to face with some of the ways we’ve talked about God, which don’t actually shape people into more loving, compassionate people. And we have supported policies and ways of viewing the world that are actually destructive. And we’ve done it in the name of God and we need to repent.”

Many have expressed concern since the news of Bell’s comments.

“Plain and simple, Rob Bell’s teachings are not true to the words of Scripture,” Eric Ludy, pastor of Church at Ellerslie and president of Ellerslie Mission Society in Windsor, Colorado told Christian News Network.

“They are a sly attempt at blending the philosophies of our post-modern age with the vernacular of pop-Christianity. The end product is highly dangerous to the human soul because it is the forging of a golden calf god — a God of our culture’s making — and certainly not the God of the Bible.”

“The God of the Bible doesn’t change. His opinions don’t change. There is no shadow of turning in Him nor in His Scripture,” he said. “We cannot pander after the approval of the culture; we have to stand on the Scriptures just as they were written.”

DHS To Buy 360,000 More Rounds of Hollow Point Ammunition

Arms build-up continues as Congress demands answers
Paul Joseph Watson

Infowars.com

March 25, 2013
While the Department of Homeland Security continues to ignore members of Congress demanding to know why the federal agency is engaged in an apparent arms build-up, the DHS has just announced it plans to purchase another 360,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition to add to the roughly 2 billion bullets already bought over the past year.



The DHS has now purchased over 2 billion rounds of ammo.

A solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities website details the DHS’ plan to purchase 360,000 rounds of “Commercial leaded training ammo (CLTA) Pistol .40 caliber 165 grain, jacketed hollow point.” The bullets are to be delivered to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico, the same destination for 240,000 hollow point rounds which were purchased only last month.

Although the DHS has attempted to explain its mammoth purchase of ammunition by claiming the bullets are being acquired in bulk to save money and that they are for training purposes only, this has been disputed by reputable voices such as former Marine Richard Mason, who told reporters with WHPTV News in Pennsylvania earlier this month, “We never trained with hollow points, we didn’t even see hollow points my entire four and a half years in the Marine Corps.”

Hollow point bullets are almost twice as expensive as full metal jackets, therefore the DHS’ explanation that it is buying huge quantities in bulk to “save money” doesn’t make sense.

As we reported yesterday, concerns about the apparent arms build-up are growing, with retired United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow sending a letter to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) warning that the ammo purchases represent “a bold threat of war by that agency (DHS), and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America.”

Questions from members of Congress about why the federal agency is buying up ammo, exacerbating shortages across the country, have been met with silence.

- Kansas Congressman Timothy Huelscamp said last week that threats should be made to withdraw funding from the DHS if it didn’t explain why it was purchasing so many bullets, remarking, “They have no answer for that question. They refuse to answer to answer that.”

Earlier this month, New Jersey Congressman Leonard Lance said, “Congress has a responsibility to ask Secretary Napolitano as to exactly why these purchases have occurred,” signaling his intention to get answers.

- Californian Congressman Doug LaMalfa and 14 of his House colleagues have written a letter to the Department of Homeland Security asking if the purchases are, “being conducted in a manner that strategically denies the American people access to ammunition.”

Although members of Congress are treating the matter with the seriousness it deserves, the mainstream and leftist media have attempted to ridicule the entire issue as a conspiracy theory, with Atlantic Wire even suggesting that the story had its origins in a debunked email, a report that completely failed to even mention the admitted fact that the DHS had purchased around 2 billion bullets.

While the DHS continues to purchase bullets in large quantities, police departments have been forced to barter amongst each other in a desperate scramble to meet their ammo needs.

Underworld Saint Gets Following In U.S.

*Source: USA Today

The skeleton saint known as La Santa Muerte is most recently associated with the illicit drug trade in Mexico.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A follower in New Orleans built a public shrine in her honor. An actor in Albuquerque credits her with helping him land a role on the TV show "Breaking Bad." She turns up routinely along the U.S.-Mexico border at safe houses, and is sighted on dashboards of cars used to smuggle methamphetamine through the southwest desert.

Popular in Mexico, and sometimes linked to the illicit drug trade, the skeleton saint known as La Santa Muerte in recent years has found a robust and diverse following north of the border: immigrant small-business owners, artists, gay activists and the poor, among others — many of them non-Latinos and not all involved with organized religion.

Clad in a black nun's robe and holding a scythe in one hand, Santa Muerte appeals to people seeking all manner of otherworldly help: from fending off wrongdoing and carrying out vengeance to stopping lovers from cheating and landing better jobs. And others seek her protection for their drug shipments and to ward off law enforcement.

"Her growth in the United States has been extraordinary," said Andrew Chesnut, author of Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint and the Bishop Walter F. Sullivan Chair in Catholic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Because you can ask her for anything, she has mass appeal and is now gaining a diverse group of followers throughout the country. She's the ultimate multitasker."

Exact numbers of her followers are impossible to determine, but they are clearly growing, Chesnut said.
The saint is especially popular among Mexican-American Catholics, rivaling that of St. Jude and La Virgen de Guadalupe as a favorite for miracle requests, even as the Catholic Church in Mexico denounces Santa Muerte as satanic, experts say.

Her image has been used on prayers cards citing vengeance and protection, which are sometimes found at scenes of massacred bodies and on shipments of drugs.

U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte in West Texas said he has testified about La Santa Muerte in at least five drug trafficking cases where her image aided prosecutors with convictions. Last year, Almonte testified that a Santa Muerte statue prayer card, found with a kilogram of methamphetamine in a couple's car in New Mexico, were "tools of the trade" for drug traffickers to protect them from law enforcement. The testimony was used to help convict the couple of drug trafficking.

Almonte has visited shrines throughout Mexico, and given workshops to law enforcement agencies on the cult of the saint.

"Criminals pray to La Santa Muerte to protect them from law enforcement," Almonte said. "But there are good people who pray to her who aren't involved in any criminal activity so we have to be careful."

Devotees say La Santa Muerte has helped them find love, find better jobs and launch careers.
Gregory Beasley Jr., 35, believes he landed acting roles on "Breaking Bad" and the 2008 movie "Linewatch" after a traditional Mexican-American healer introduced him to La Santa Muerte.

"All my success ... I owe to her," he said. "She cleansed me and showed me the way."

Some devotees pray to the saint by building altars and offering votive candles, fruits, tequila, cigarettes — even lines of cocaine in some cases — in exchange for wishes, Chesnut said. A red La Santa Muerte, her best-selling image, helps in matters of love. Gold ones aid with employment and white ones give protection. Meanwhile, a black Santa Muerte can provide vengeance.

"She's my queen," said Arely Vazquez Gonzalez, a Mexican immigrant and transgender woman who oversees a large altar inside her Queens, New York apartment. Against one wall of her bedroom altar is a tall, sitting Santa Muerte statue in a black dress surrounded by offerings of tequila.

Gonzalez, who sports a tattoo of La Santa Muerte on her back, holds an annual event in August in the saint's honor, with mariachis and a feast.

"All I have to do I ask for her guidance and she provides me with what I need," she said.

The origins of La Santa Muerte are unclear. Some followers say she is an incarnation of an Aztec goddess of death who ruled the underworld. Some scholars say she originated in medieval Spain through the image of La Parca, a female Grim Reaper, who was used by friars for the later evangelization of indigenous populations in the Americas.

For decades, though, La Santa Muerte remained an underground figure in isolated regions of Mexico and served largely as an unofficial Catholic saint that women called upon to help with cheating spouses, Chesnut said.

It wasn't until 2001 when a devotee unveiled a public La Santa Muerte shrine in Mexico City that followers in greater numbers began to display their devotion for helping them with relationships and loved ones in prison. Economic uncertainty and a violent drug war against cartels that has claimed an estimated 40,000 lives also are credited for La Santa Muerte's growth.

Oscar Hagelsieb, assistant special agent in charge for Homeland Security Investigations in El Paso, said agents have found that most members of the Gulf and Zeta Cartels mainly pray to Santa Muerte while those from the Sinaloa and Sonora Cartels honor folk saint Jesus Malverde.

"Altars are very intricate. We have found some with food and others with blood from animals," Hagelsieb said.

The association with cartels and denunciations by some priests has resulted in some non-devotees destroying makeshift roadside altars. Recently, assailants smashed a life-size statue of La Santa Muerte in a South Texas cemetery. Police in Pasadena, Calif. recently found human bones at a home with a Santa Muerte altar outside. The owners say they bought the bones online.

But the vast majority of devotees aren't crooks.

Kiko Torres, owner of the Masks y Mas art store in Albuquerque, said sales of La Santa Muerte statues, incense, and oils have skyrocketed in recent months.

"Most people who buy the stuff are regular people who just recently found out about her," he said. "Some probably have no idea about her connection to that other world."

One such devotee is Steven Bragg, 36, who said he was introduced to La Santa Muerte in 2001 and began praying to her for a variety of different reasons, including a plea for a life companion. Recently, the New Orleans man built a public chapel to her and holds rosary services that attract around a dozen people.

He also just formed a nonprofit to support the "New Orleans Chapel of the Santisima Muerte," the official name of his public altar.

"It's something I decided to do after all that La Santa Muerte has provided," Bragg said. "She has never failed me."

In the painting, there are indeed two identical girls (probably alter personas), a Masonic checkerboard floor and stripped walls. This proves that a lot of imagery in fashion shoots is directly inspired by Monarch Programming and its mind control techniques.

Speaking of which, here's Rihanna in an Elle Magazine feature with a special emphasis on the checkerboard pattern. Also, notice the tattoo on her ankle.

The tattoo appears to be inspired by this Egyptian falcon found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In Ancient Egyptian mythology, the falcon was associated with the solar god Horus. As you might know, the symbol of All-Seeing Eye derives from the Ancient Egyptian symbol of the Eye of Horus. In short, Rihanna's checkerboard dress and the emphasis on her Horus tattoo makes the above picture all about Masonic symbolism.

Speaking of Sex Kittens, Courtney Stodden is quickly becoming the most blatant example of it in the "celeb world".

I won’t go into the whole pro-life vs pro-choice debate, but, seriously, is an abortion ever something to smile about? Isn’t it sad and unfortunate 100% of the time? A why does she need to publicize this fact on a shirt. And why is she making this particular hand sign (I’m pretty sure she’s not signed with Jay-Z’s Roc-a-Fella records). To summarize this pic, it goes right into the elite’s depopulation Agenda combined with the ongoing war against the sacredness of motherhood.

The Oscars took place on February 25th and a bunch of movie people went home with these statuettes. But why do they look that way and where does the name Oscar come from anyway? The Oscar statuette appears to be an art-deco version of the classic depiction of the Egyptian creator god  Ptah. In the mythology, Ptah takes the form of the funerary god Sokar and temples were dedicated to Ptah-Sokar. Try switching the first two letters of Sokar. (Hint: it spells Oskar).

History Channel's miniseries The Bible created quite a stir when its depiction of Satan strangely resembled Obama. I cannot lie and say that I originally thought the same thing. I am not sure if this was intentional. However, from what I saw from this series, I can say that it is quite terrible. It presents a dumbed-down, bastardized and deformed version of the Bible to fit the elite's Agenda. I mean, where in the Bible does it say that ninja-killer-angels came down in Sodom to kill everyone?
History Channel’s new miniseries “The Bible” created quite a stir when its depiction of Satan strangely resembled Obama. I cannot lie, when I saw that Satan figure, I immediately thought the same thing. I am not sure if it was intentional but, one thing is for sure: If you want to learn about the Bible, do not rely on this show. It presents a dumbed-down, bastardized and deformed version of the Bible which is apparently tailor-made to fit the elite’s anti-religion Agenda. I mean, where does it say in the Bible that two killer-ninja-angels descended to Sodom to kill everyone? The answer: Nowhere. Read Genesis 19 and see how it differs from the mini-series.

US Army Colonel Issues Warning About Remorseless “Killer Robots”

Source: InfoWars 


Drones are the “start of the rise of the machines”
Paul Joseph Watson

Infowars.com

March 14, 2013
Award-winning military writer and former intelligence officer Lt. Col. Douglas Pryer has penned an essay warning of the threat posed by remorseless “killer robots” that will be used to stalk and slaughter human targets in the near future.


Rise of the Machines. Image: YouTube

Pryer worked in military intelligence after joining the US Army in 1992 and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. He has won several prestigious awards since he began writing in 2009.

In an essay published by the United States Army Combined Arms Center, Pryer laments how the use of unmanned drones – which kill 50 innocent civilian for every suspected terrorist – are perpetuating wars and endangering America’s global reputation. He then makes a stark warning that the drone strike program is merely a pre-cursor to the kind of nightmare technocracy depicted in the Terminator movies.

“It seems heart-breakingly obvious that future generations will someday look back upon the last decade as the start of the rise of the machines,” writes Pryer, adding that the US government is developing, “robots so advanced that they make today’s Predators and Reapers look positively impotent and antique. These killer robots, though, will share one thing in common with their primitive progenitors: with remorseless purpose, they will stalk and kill any human deemed “a legitimate target” by their controllers and programmers.”

Pryer’s comments echo those of Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at the University of Sheffield, who has repeatedly warned that the robots currently being developed under the auspices of DARPA will eventually be used to kill.

Sharkey described the DARPA robots as “an incredible technical achievement, but it’s unfortunate that it’s going to be used to kill people.”

“It’s going to be used for chasing people across the desert, I would imagine. I can’t think of many civilian applications – maybe for hunting, or farming, for rounding up sheep.” Sharkey added.

“But of course if it’s used for combat, it would be killing civilians as well as it’s not going to be able to discriminate between civilians and soldiers.”

In a 50-page report published last year, Human Rights Watch also warned that artificially intelligent robots let loose on the battlefield would inevitably commit war crimes.

“Giving machines the power to decide who lives and dies on the battlefield would take technology too far. Human control of robotic warfare is essential to minimizing civilian deaths and injuries. It is essential to stop the development of killer robots before they show up in national arsenal. As countries become more invested in this technology, it will become harder to persuade them to give it up,” said, HRW’s Steve Goose, calling for a ban on the technology.

Last year, experts at the prestigious University of Cambridge announced a project to conduct research into the “extinction-level risks” posed to humanity by artificially intelligent robots.

Take a look at DARPA’s current array of robots in the video below.

Argentina's Bergoglio Elected As New Pope Francis

VATICAN CITY |
Wed Mar 13, 2013 7:48pm EDT

 
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected in a surprise choice to be the new leader of the troubled Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, taking the name Francis I and becoming the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1,300 years.
Pope Francis, 76, appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica just over an hour after white smoke poured from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel to signal 115 cardinal electors had chosen him to lead the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics.

"Pray for me," the new pontiff, dressed in the white robes of a pope for the first time, urged a crowd of tens of thousands of people waiting in the square below.

The choice of Bergoglio, who is the first Latin American and first Jesuit pope, was announced by French cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran with the Latin words "Habemus Papam" ("We have a pope.")

Francis has became the 266th pontiff in the Church's 2,000-year history at a time of great crisis, with the church under fire over a child sex abuse scandal and torn by infighting in the Vatican bureaucracy.

Although a conservative theologically, Francis is known for his concern for the poor and is expected to bring a radical change of style to the Church leadership, indicated by his choice for the first time of the name of St Francis of Assisi, who died in 1226 after living a life of poverty and simplicity.

He immediately showed the difference from his predecessor Benedict, an aloof theologian, with a gesture of humility, asking the waiting crowd to bless him before he blessed them.

Bergoglio shunned the papal limousine after his appearance on the balcony and chose to take a shuttle bus with other cardinals back to the Vatican residence where they are staying, for an evening meal.
Bergoglio is known as a humble man who leads an austere and sober life without ostentation, travelling by public transport and living in a small apartment outside Buenos Aires.

He is willing to challenge powerful interests and is deeply concerned about the social inequalities in Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America. He has had a sometimes difficult relationship with President Cristina Fernandez and her late husband and predecessor Nestor Kirchner.

Francis has spoken out strongly against gay marriage, denouncing it in 2010 as "an attempt to destroy God's plan".

ARGENTINES JUBILANT

Jubilant Argentines poured into churches, some crying and praying, after the announcement at the Vatican. "This is a blessing for Argentina," one woman shouted on a Buenos Aires street.

"I hope he changes all the luxury that exists in the Vatican, that he steers the church in a more humble direction, something closer to the gospel," said Jorge Andres Lobato, a 73-year-old retired state prosecutor.
The election was enthusiastically welcomed elsewhere in Latin America too.

"We're happy because we have a new pope and because the choice of a Latin American shows that the Church is opening, is now focused on the entire Church. It's not just a church only focused on Europe," said Leonardo Steiner, general secretary of the national conference of Brazilian bishops.

Francis was not among the small group of front runners identified before the election. The Jesuit order to which he belongs was founded in the 16th century to serve the pope. It is best known for its work in education and the intellectual prowess of its members.

The monks at the convent of St. Francis in Assisi were overjoyed at the election of Bergoglio and his decision to take the name Francis for a pontiff for the first time.

"St. Francis still points to the path of humility and evangelical simplicity," said the abbot, Father Mauro Gambetti.

Italian theologian Massimo Faggioli told Reuters: "I don't expect him to change on doctrine, but he is a more pastoral person. It seems that this pope will be more aware of what life is all about."

Faggioli, a professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, added: "He will have more room to make his message heard than Benedict did. The papacy needs to have an audience more open to listen to what the pope says. He is not an outsider. He didn't present himself as a reformer with hatchet in hand."
Bergoglio was born into a middle-class family of seven, his father an Italian immigrant railway worker and his mother a housewife.

Replacing Pope Benedict, who resigned last month, he overturned one of the main assumptions before the election, that the new pope would be relatively young.

Bergoglio is the oldest of most of the possible candidates and was barely mentioned in feverish speculation about the top contenders before the conclave.

He is the first non-European pope since Syrian-born Gregory III in the eighth century, and the third successive non-Italian pontiff.

The Vatican said his inaugural mass would be on March 19.
U.S. President Barack Obama said the election of Francis "speaks to the strength and vitality of a region that is increasingly shaping our world."

"PRAY FOR BENEDICT"

In brief remarks from the balcony of St. Peter's, Francis called on the faithful to pray for Benedict and said the Church was setting off on a "journey of fraternity, of love, of trust".

It seemed the cardinal electors "went to the end of the world" to find him, he said.

The Vatican said Francis would visit Benedict soon at his temporary home in the summer papal residence outside Rome.

Thousands of people sheltering from heavy rain under a sea of umbrellas had occupied the square all day to await the decision and the crowd swelled as soon as the white smoke emerged.

They cheered wildly and raced towards the basilica as the smoke billowed from a narrow makeshift chimney and St Peter's bells rang.

The tens of thousands in the square cheered even more loudly when Francis appeared, the first pontiff to take that name. "Viva il Papa (pope)," they chanted.

Front runners at the conclave had included Brazilian Odilo Scherer, and Italy's Angelo Scola, who would have returned the papacy to traditional Italian hands after 35 years of the German Benedict XVI and Polish John Paul II.

The decision by cardinal electors sequestered in a secret conclave in the Sistine Chapel came sooner than many experts expected because there were several front runners before the vote to replace Pope Benedict.
The cardinals faced a thorny task in finding a leader capable of overcoming crises caused by priestly child abuse and a leak of secret papal documents that uncovered corruption and rivalry inside the Church government or Curia.

Francis will head a Church also shaken by rivalry from other churches, the advance of secularism, especially in its European heartland, and allegations of scandal at the Vatican bank.

The series of crises is thought to have contributed to Benedict's decision to become the first pontiff in 600 years to abdicate.

RIVAL TO RATZINGER IN 2005

Bergoglio was a moderate rival candidate at the 2005 conclave to the conservative Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who went on to become Benedict.

Italian media say he impressed cardinals in pre-conclave meetings where they discussed the Church's problems.

Reserved and humble, Francis does not fit the profile of an active preacher that many cardinals had previously said they were seeking. He studied chemistry before joining the priesthood nearly a decade after losing a lung to respiratory illness.

The secret conclave began on Tuesday night with a first ballot and four ballots were held on Wednesday. Francis obtained the required two thirds majority in the fifth ballot.

The previous four popes were all elected within two or three days.

In preparatory meetings before the conclave, the cardinals seemed divided between those who believe the new pontiff must be a strong manager to get the dysfunctional bureaucracy under control and others who are looking more for a proven pastoral figure to revitalize their faith across the globe.

Apart from Brazil's Scherer and Italy's Scola, a host of other candidates from numerous nations had also been mentioned as potential popes - including U.S. cardinals Timothy Dolan and Sean O'Malley, Canada's Marc Ouellet and Argentina's Leonardo Sandri.

But the front runners' list never mentioned Bergoglio.

After Vowing Greater Transparency, Obama Admin Increasingly Censoring, Withholding Info From Public

A new report has revealed the U.S. government refused or censored freedom of information requests from the public more last year than at any other time during the Obama presidency. The Associated Press analysis determined that the Obama administration cited legal provisions for withholding information more often in 2012 than in any previous year -- especially a rule intended to protect national security. The CIA denied 60 percent of information requests in 2012, compared to 49 percent a year earlier. We speak to Jack Gillum of the Associated Press and Alexander Abdo of the American Civil Liberties Union.

"Monster High: A Doll Line Introducing Children to the Illuminati Agenda."

*Source: The Vigilant Citizen


At first glance, Monster High is just another trendy, fashionable doll line. However, looking at Monster High’s symbolism and at the videos relating to it, we discover that it is communicating many specific messages to young children, particularly to young girls. We’ll look at how this toy line is used to introduce children to some aspects of the Illuminati Agenda.

leadmonsterhigh
Monster High is a highly successful toy franchise that is somewhat similar to the Bratz doll line, as both are comprised of edgy, fashionable characters with attitude. Like many other toy franchises, Monster High is much more than a doll line: It is a multi-platform franchise comprised of toys, DVDs, a web series, music videos, video games, books, clothing accessories, and much more.
The brand distinguishes itself with its unique, twisted universe inspired by monster movies and sci-fi horror. All of the characters are either offspring of known movie monsters or some kind of undead zombies. While Monster High’s slogan is “Be yourself, be unique, be a monster!”, this franchise also communicates deeper messages to its young audience. In fact, a closer look at the stories in Monster High reveals that it is perfectly in sync with the Illuminati’s Agenda as it promotes themes such as hypersexualization, superficiality, a culture of death and even Monarch Mind Control. As seen in previous articles on this site, these themes are abundant in mass media and, the fact that they are present in a doll line for kids further proves that there’s a continuous effort to expose impressionable minds to a specific set of symbols and values.
This should not come as a surprise, as Monster High was created by the world’s largest toy company, Mattel, with revenues of over $6.2 billion per year. The chairman of the board of directors, Robert A. Eckert, is a long-time member of the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergs, the two most powerful elite circles shaping the world today. As you might know, company representatives who attend these elite meetings are there because their brands can help push the elite’s long-term Agenda. Powerful, world-reaching companies such as Mattel do not simply sell products, they sell a culture associated with them. Considering how children get attached and even obsessed with their dolls and the universe that surrounds them, what better way to reach young minds and to teach them the values of a New World Order future? Let’s look at Monster High and the universe it introduces to young children.

The Monster High Universe

The characters of Monster High are dressed in outfits that are rather inapropriate for high school. Also, their lockers are shaped like coffins and their locks are skull heads. What better way to introduce young children to the sex and death-obssesed pop culture?
The characters of Monster High are dressed in outfits that are rather inappropriate for high school. Also, their lockers are shaped like coffins with skull heads for locks. In short, it is all about pushing a culture of sex and death on young, impressionable children.
The world of Monster High is basically a high school populated with the offspring of famous monstrous figures like Dracula and Frankenstein. The characters wear outfits that lean strongly to the sexy side, making one wonder what kind of message this is delivering to Monster High’s target audience: girls under the age of 10. Even more disturbing, the back story and symbolism associated with many of the characters strongly refer to dark concepts, such as Monarch Mind Control (if you don’t know what that is, read this article). Indeed, most Monster High characters are either artificially created or a product of some kind of experiment and many of them do not really have a mind of their own. They are all literally dead and animated by some kind of unholy force. When one adds this fact to the symbolism and persona associated with each character, one starts to realize that Monster High is about a bunch of MK slaves. Here are some of the main characters:

Frankengirl

Frankengirl is the daughter of Frankenstein. Her entire body is stitched up together by some mad scientist (Mind Control handlers). Fragmented body parts is a symbol sometimes used to represent to fragmented nature of MK-Slaves.
Frankengirl is the daughter of Frankenstein. Her entire body is stitched up together and, sometimes, she loses some of her body parts. In MK symbolism, this represents the powerlessness of slaves and their fragmented nature. Also, notice her “logo” at the top right: fractured and stitched up skull – representing a fragmented mind.
Frankengirl is an artificial creation put together by a mad scientist (a MK handler?). Her story states that she 15 days old (yes, days, not years). In other words, her alter persona was created by her handler 15 days ago. Her head is held together by two screws, symbolizing her not having a mind of her own. The screws are of different color because they are of different polarity, negative and positive. This refers to the concept of duality that is always inculcated to MK Slaves. To further emphasize the concept of duality, her eyes are different colors, her hair is striped black and white and her bio page states that her favorite color is “black and white stripes”.
Frankengirl can eletroshock herself and others – a reference to electroshock torture used in Monarch Mind Control to program slaves.
Frankengirl electroshocked.

Here she is on a bedding set giving the One-Eye sign. Yes, little girls can now sleep draped in Illuminati symbolism.

Speaking of which, here's a Happy New Year one-eye sign by another character.
Speaking of which, here’s a “Happy New Year” message from Monster High with another prominent One-Eye sign

Operetta

Operetta is the daughter of the Phantom of the Opera. She excels in the performing arts, such as singing and dancing. In some ways, she is the star entertainer of the group. Unsurprisingly, the symbolism associated with her fit right in with the symbolism associated with today’s real-life pop stars – i.e: the inevitable One-Eye sign.
Operetta is the musician of the group. As if to highlight her connection with the Illuminati music industry, there's always an emphasis on the one-eye sign. Like the Lady Gaga or Rihanna's of this world, she's always either hiding one eye or is wearing something emphasizing on eye. Also, her guitar is shaped like a coffin. In short she's an introduction to sex and death Illuminati music industry.
As if to highlight her connection to Illuminati music industry, all of the symbolism relating to Operatta (even her logo) revolves around the One-Eye sign.  Like the Lady Gaga and the Rihannas of this world, she is almost always emphasizing one eye. Also, I’m not sure how she can walk with these shoes – but that’s another story.
You’ll notice that her guitar is shaped like a coffin as well, because, apparently, death is so cool.
Operetta practices her music in a place called the Catacombs. The symbolism of her hideout is quite blatant.
Operatta's stage is "overseen" by a prominent All-Seeing Eye.
Operatta’s stage is “overseen” by a prominent All-Seeing Eye.
In short, Operatta appears to be telling young girls: “If you want to be part of the music business, you have to embrace this Illuminati imagery”.

Werecats

As we’ve seen in previous articles on this site, Sex Kitten programming is represented in popular culture with feline prints and cat-like attributes on attractive girls. The Werecat sisters are all about that.
There also appears to be a lot of emphasis on Sex Kitten programming as a lot of its symbolism is reflected on some characters such Toralei and the twins Purrsephone and Mewlody (who don't not seem to have a mind of their own). The fact that Kitten programming is reflected on children's toys is quite disturbing.
The Werecat sisters’ symbolism is all about Kitten Programming. The twins (on the right) truly do not have a mind of their own.
The back story regarding the Werecat sisters is quite dark and similar to the story of many actual MK Slaves. The webisode named The Nine Lives of Toralei, describes how Werecat sister Toralei is an orphan roaming the streets who gets picked up, and locked up, by “the System”.
The Werecat sisters "behind bars" - or educated by the system.
The Werecat sisters “behind bars” … or re-educated by the System.
“Some children live in foster homes, or with adopted parents, or in orphanages, or with caretakers and guardians. Because these children are at the mercy of the non-related adults, these types of children frequently are sold to become mind-controlled slaves of the intelligence agencies. In review, remember that because many of these organizations are controlled by the Illuminati; an Illuminati slave may often work for one of these front groups, while the Illuminati maintain control over the base-program.”

- Fritz Springmeier, The Illuminati Formula to Create a Mind Control Slave
The sisters are then "recruited" by the "head mistress" of Monster High. You'll notice that she is holding her hand in her hand, a way of showing that even MK Handlers are Mind Controlled themselves.

Is Monster High actually an MK programming site? Hmmm.
Relevant fact: Marilyn Monroe, the prototype of Kitten Programing was also declared a “Ward of the State” and lived in foster homes during her youth. Another relevant fact: The father of MK-Ultra, Josef Mengele, experimented on thousands of twins to perfect mind-control techniques.

Videos

The Monster High website contains numerous animated webisodes that are extremely popular (each one of them has racked up several million YouTube views). While the main goal of these video shorts is to sell dolls, there is nevertheless a lot of symbolism in them. Also, some videos refer to mind-control concepts in a rather blatant way. Let’s look at some of these videos.

Dueling Personality

This video deals with the core of Monarch Programming: The creation of completely separate alter personas. Frankengirl’s boyfriend, named Jackson, discovers that he has an alter personality that acts completely separately from him. At the beginning of the video he says:
“So every time I wake up in some dark alley alone and confused, its all because of him! I’ve got so much to say to that guy. But I can’t even confront him about it … because he’s me.”
Hyde, the "cool" alter persona has a tattoo around one eye, as if to emphasize the Illuminati Mind Control stuff underlying this whole story.
Holt, Jackson’s “cool” alter persona has a tattoo around one eye, as if to emphasize the Illuminati Mind Control stuff underlying this story.
In the end Frankengirl breaks up with Jackson and his alter until they can “settle their differences”. Why are children exposed to this? What’s the point? I don’t think many young girls relate to this story.
Anyways, Jackson’s problems with his alter persona pop up in several other webisodes.
In the episode entitled "I Know What You Did Last Frightday", the head mistress triggers Jekill's alter persona using music - an actual MK technique.
In the episode entitled “I Know What You Did Last Frightday“, the headmistress triggers Jackson’s alter persona using music – an actual MK technique – because she needs the creative Holt to paint a mural.

Undo the Voodoo

Another webisode focuses on Hoodude, a voodoo doll that is having a bad day and, because he’s a voodoo doll, everyone at school is having a bad day.
Hoodoo is yet another character that doesn't have a mind of his own. Also, there's a one-eye thing is going on with the buttons.
Hoodude is yet another character that is artificially created and that doesn’t really have a mind of his own. Also, there’s a one-eye thing is going on with his different-colored buttons.
Voodoo magic is yet another very important aspect of Monarch Mind Control that is represented in Monster High.
“In discussing how trauma-based mind-control is done, voodoo must be included as a component. Many of the Mind-controlled slaves have had voodoo as part of their trauma, and many had voodoo dolls placed into their Systems. When vows and oaths are made, an object is given to the satanic cult or the Illuminati for the Keeper of the Seals to guard. If the vow is broken voodoo magic can be used against the offender by using the object given in the sealing.”

To solve Hoodude’s problem, the girls at school ask for the help of Scarah the mind reader.
Scarah reads Hoodoo's mind.

It is interesting to note that many actual MK Slaves receive ESP (extra-sensory perception) training – which include telepathy, mind reading and remote viewing.
Scarah then tells her friends that they need to literally enter Hoodude’s head to fix his self-esteem issues.

The girls enter some kind Mind Control lab to enter Hoodoo's brain,

Inside Hoodude’s brain, the girls find the part of the brain relating to self-esteem and “reprogram” him to love himself.
Scarah reconnects two loose wires inside Hoodude's brain so he loves himself again.

Hoodude can now look at himself in the mirror and loves himself again.
Hoodude can now look at himself in the mirror and love himself again.
In short, this video is about an artificially created “doll” that doesn’t act as expected. He is then literally mind controlled and reprogrammed to have more self esteem. Hoodude did not work at bettering himself or at accepting his flaws, some mind reader entered his brain to reprogram him. I don’t think that’s great lesson for kids.
There are many other Monster High videos that are filled with this kind of symbolism. However, I believe we’ve all suffered enough going through just these three.

In Conclusion

I can imagine some people reading this article and thinking: “He’s talking dolls and cartoons now? How about talking about the real issues like politics, grumble, grumble”. Yes, on a superficial level, talking about dolls and cartoons may not come off as “serious” analysis. However, we must remember that, for the powers that be, there is nothing more serious than capturing the minds of children at a young age in order to mold them for the future. For propagandists, there is no age limit for pushing a message. They realize that the younger the audience, the more effective their message will be. Marketing specialists know that brand loyalty is taught at very early age (i.e. Heinz Ketchup, Kellogs cereal, etc.) and propaganda messages simply another product to market.
So what kind of message does a franchise like Monster High communicate to children? There are several levels.
On a basic level, the characters of Monster High are obviously hypersexualized as they are dressed in outfits that can only be found in sex shops. Considering the doll’s target market (girls under 10 years old), we can imagine how this trains girls to believe that, in order to be cool, they have to be very sexy, very early. Then, there’s this whole death-worship thing going on, with coffin-shaped lockers and coffin-shaped cellphones and coffin-shaped guitars and skulls everywhere. Mix these two very visible aspects together and you’ve got the sex-and-death mass media cocktail that is constantly pushed to all audiences, but particularly young people. Furthermore, the characters in Monster High evolve in a context that is completely obsessed with superficiality, appearances and materialism – all values that are actively promoted to today’s youth. When Monster High fans grow out of their doll-playing phase, they will most likely start watching music videos and TV shows that promote the exact same set of values. Sadly, they will question none of it because they have been exposed to this Agenda since their tender youth.
On secondary level, almost everything in Monster High relates in one way or another to the dark, disturbing world of Illuminati Mind Control. The school can be likened to a MK-programming center, led by a “headmistress” whose own head pops off in a literal symbol of dissociation. All of the students are either artificial creations or zombies who do not have a mind of their own (funny how the line’s theme song ends with the words “Don’t you want to be a Monster too?” Concepts associated with trauma-based mind control such as alter-personas, duality, dissociation, kitten programming and even electroshock torture are represented in Monster High. As if that wasn’t enough, the whole Monster High franchise is laced with the Illuminati symbolism I’ve described time and time again on this site, proving that, not only is this symbolism not accidental, but that this Agenda is being promoted everywhere … even to young children who just want to play with dolls.
So why do they do this? Because, as Hitler stated: “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”
