VATICAN CARDINAL TO DELIVER MESSAGE FROM POPE TO BILDERBERG GLOBALISTS

Pietro Cardinal Parolin to address global elite 

on behalf of Pope Francis

The Vatican has sent a top cardinal to the secretive Bilderberg Group meeting in Turin to deliver a message to the global elite from the Pope.
The Bilderberg group is an annual meeting of over 100 of the most powerful people on the planet, including presidents, prime ministers and heads of banking, the corporate world, media and academia. Its clandestine 2018 confab is set to begin today.
This year’s summit will be attended by Pietro Cardinal Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State.
Given Bilderberg’s kingmaker legacy (the group has welcomed politicians before who have gone on to become heads of state), some are wondering if Parolin’s attendance could indicate he is in line to be the next Pope.
“The cardinal is one of the most powerful Curial officials and has been regarded by Vatican watchers as positioned to succeed Francis,” reports LifeSiteNews.
Pope Francis has made numerous statements and backed several causes that are in line with the worldview shared by globalists at Bilderberg.


He has criticised the Brexit vote, compared Donald Trump to Hitler and warned against the rise of populism in Europe. Pope Francis has also repeatedly urged European countries to take in migrants from predominantly Muslim countries.
Catholics have also expressed alarm about his liberal views on abortion, gay marriage and the existence of hell, while also expressing amazement at his comparison of ISIS to Jesus Christ.
The Pope’s activities have stoked concerns amongst many Catholics, who worry that his allegiance lies not with the church but with the global political elite.
Parolin himself has also caused concern amongst many Catholics as a result of his behavior.
“Parolin has asserted that Pope Francis’ teaching in Amoris Laetitia represents “a paradigm shift” for the Church. He has been criticized by Chinese Cardinal Zen for the Vatican’s “suicide” deal with China. 
And he was involved along with the Vatican in the hire of a pro-gay law firm that sought to shut down a Catholic website critical of Pope Francis,” writes Dorothy McLean.
“While the Roman Catholic Church is truly a global organization, it is thankfully not a globalist organization,” said Daniel McAdams. “While the inclusion of Cardinal Parolin in this year’s meeting should not necessarily draw our scorn, we should understand that the Bilderbergers and similar groupings of the largely unelected elite more often than not stridently oppose rather than endorse Catholic teaching.”
As we reported on Tuesday, the number one topic of discussion at this year’s secretive Bilderberg confab will be the rise of populism in Europe, following the election of a populist, anti-mass migration, eurosceptic coalition government in Italy.

New Jersey – -(Ammoland.com)- In a fervor to exploit tragedy and advance a longstanding agenda to limit gun rights, a majority of Garden State lawmakers voted today to pass a package of gun bills that target the rights of law-abiding citizens instead of severely punishing criminals and madmen who misuse firearms.
“None of the bills passed today will make anyone safer,” said ANJRPC Executive Director Scot Bach. “Lawmakers have squandered an important opportunity to make our schools safer and prevent those with serious mental health issues from obtaining firearms in the first place.”
“Instead,” continued Bach, “they have enacted a series of measures limiting the ability of citizens to defend themselves, and enabling those hostile to gun rights to abuse legal process to harass gun owners. Law-abiding firearms owners are not the problem, and limiting their rights accomplishes nothing to advance safety.”

Once these bills are signed by the governor, which could come before the weekend, Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs plans on taking the fight to the courts, where we expect unconstitutional laws to be overturned, and lawmakers to be forced to respect the rights of law-abiding citizens.

Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs would like to thank the tens of thousands of gun owners who participated in our grassroots blitz leading up to today’s vote. We received several requests from legislators to “make it stop,” and some gun owners reported that there was an attempt to place a firewall on the legislative server in an effort to block messages in the last 24 hours. Based on the overwhelming volume of calls and emails sent, one thing is certain: lawmakers know with certainty that any effort to limit the gun rights of law-abiding citizens is going to be difficult and painful every step of the way, and they will pick their future battles very carefully.
Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs will be providing detailed analysis of the new laws and their impact on law-abiding gun owners in the coming days and weeks. Regarding the magazine ban, there is a 180-day implementation period within which to comply, so there is time for you to assess the best course of action to take with respect to your property. That time has the potential to be further extended in anticipated litigation.
Please forward this alert to every gun owner you know, and if you don’t already receive alerts from ANJRPC, please subscribe to our free email alerts for the latest Second Amendment breaking news and action alerts.

MIGRANT CRIME AGAINST GERMANS SOARS 23 PERCENT IN A SINGLE YEAR~ANTIFA FASCISTS CAUSE CANCELLATION OF ANTI-ISLAMIZATION EVENT AT UNIVERSITY OF MAINZ

MIGRANT CRIME AGAINST GERMANS SOARS 
23 PERCENT IN A SINGLE YEAR

Fallout from Merkel’s open border policy continues to cause huge problems

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON
SEE: https://www.infowars.com/migrant-crime-against-germans-soars-23-per-cent-in-a-single-year/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Migrant crime targeting German citizens has soared by over 23 percent in a single year as the fallout from Angela Merkel’s open border policy continues to impact the country.
New figures from the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) show that there were 39,096 German victims of immigrant crime in 2017, a new high. This compares with 31,597 the previous year, a rise of 23.7 percent.
“This means that every single day around 107 German citizens were and will become victims of crimes with at least one migrant as a suspect, and the trend is rising,” reports Voice of Europe.
112 Germans were also victims of attempted murder or murder carried out by migrants in 2017.
The report also draws attention to the increasing threat of Islamic terrorists using the refugee wave as a cover to infiltrate jihadists into Europe.
“Due to the refugee situation, it has become possible for terrorist organizations to smuggle possible assassins or supporters into Germany,” states the report, adding that radicalization of refugees already in Germany is also a massive concern.
As we reported last month, 200 African migrants rioted in the German town of Ellwangen to prevent the deportation of a Congolese man who was subsequently released as police fled the scene in fear.
Violence and abuse in German schools with high migrant populations is also a mounting concern.
A mother in Germany whose daughter was being bullied by Muslim students because she was blonde, Christian and didn’t wear a headscarf was told by the headmaster of a school in Frankfurt to cover her up with a hijab.
Earlier this year, the president of Germany’s Teachers Association warned that schools with over 70% migrant students are spiraling out of control, with attacks on female teachers and Jewish students becoming commonplace.
Heinz-Peter Meidinger told BILD that a story in Berlin about Muslim migrant students circulating ISIS beheading videos was not a lone case and that such propaganda is “spreading like wildfire”.
In a related story, a Jewish teenager was abused by a group of Arab Muslims on a train in Berlin on Saturday for listening to Hebrew-language.
“Berlin is our city now and here we do not listen to dirty Jewish music,” the gang reportedly told the teen.
“If I had a knife, I would have killed you…. if I see you again, you are finished,” one of the Muslims is said to have added.
As we document in the video below (which is banned in Germany), rather than directly address the multitude of problems that importing around 2 million “refugees” has caused the country, German authorities appear more intent on brainwashing and coercing their population into accepting the new reality with passive compliance.

Germany: Antifa fascists disrupt, force cancellation of university event on Islamization

BY ROBERT SPENCER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Yet again we see it. In The Coming of the Third Reich, historian Richard J. Evans explains how, in the early days of National Socialist Germany, Stormtroopers (Brownshirts) “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers [and] staged mass disruptions of their lectures.” To express dissent from Nazi positions became a matter of taking one’s life into one’s hands. The idea of people of opposing viewpoints airing their disagreements in a civil and mutually respectful manner was gone. One was a Nazi, or one was silent (and fearful).
Today’s fascists call themselves “anti-fascists.” Just like the Nazis, they are totalitarian: they are determined not to allow their opponents to murmur the slightest whisper of dissent. Forcibly suppressing the speech of someone with whom one disagrees is a quintessentially fascist act.
These fascists will target you for destruction if you oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women and others.
“POL-PPMZ: disruption of an event,” translated from “POL-PPMZ: Störung einer Veranstaltung,” Presse Portal, June 5, 2018 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):
Mainz (ots) – The University of Mainz today held an event on “Islamization and anti-racist appeasement.” This planned event was disturbed by a group of about 30 people around 6:10PM, so the police were called to it. The protesters held up banners and loudly expressed their displeasure. The organizer canceled the event due to the incident. The police subsequently monitored the exit of the protesters and those attending the event. In one case, there was a dispute between two people, which was settled. One of the participants refused to have his personal details taken, so he was taken to the police station. While on the way there, he tried to kick the head of the driver of the patrol car, but failed. The man was, after his personal details were taken, was released.

AMERICA WILL NEVER BE GREAT & FREE AS LONG AS WE KEEP DENYING TRUTH

AMERICA WILL NEVER BE GREAT & FREE AS LONG AS WE KEEP DENYING TRUTH

Stop Denying The Truth
“Ye shall know the Truth and the truth shall make you free.” —Jesus Christ
A lie only is effective if you choose to believe it.  The fact that you believe something does not, in itself, make something true.  Sadly, in today’s world where knowledge is ever increasing, so much of what the average American believes is not true.
Willful ignorance is a good way of describing it.  Much of what we believe is “true” only because we want it to be.  Denial of the Truth does not make the Truth go away.
Truth does not have two sides.  Truth is not fair and balanced.  Truth stands on its own two feet and is never diminished by debate.  Opinion is not Truth and Truth is not an opinion.  At the core, the battle raging in America is over Truth.
As damaging and discouraging as it might be, only Truth can lead to freedom.  Believing you are not sick will not make you well.  Thinking you are free does not make it so.  Hoping for the best does not cancel consequences.
So much of what we believe simply is not true.
We are told that religion and politics make strange bedfellows but I am not so sure that they do.  Much of religion is fraught with half-truths manipulated by the will and desires of sinful men.  Politicians are much the same as our religious leaders.  They manipulate the truth because the results justify the methods.
If I may toot my own horn for a second, I was a fairly successful high school coach of a variety of sports and one of the reasons I was successful is that I was direct.  I refused to lie to myself or to the players about what was required.  Most successful coaches have enemies and in most cases the enemies will be those who choose to deny truth.
Truth places blame in the proper lap.  Truth limits the ability to parse and point fingers.  Truth is the touchstone of cause and effect.   That is why it is so freeing.  There is no way to find the proper cure if one is not willing to diagnose the proper cause.
Pro-aborts dehumanize the unborn.  They have to.  How else could they get away with murder? For over four decades they have told us lies about the pre-born.  You can rattle them off…it is a fetus…it is not viable…it cannot think…it has no self-awareness…it is a blob of tissue…it is a clump of cells…it is part of the woman’s body.  It is the same argument that the Nazi’s used with the gas chambers and that the lynch mobs used with blacks.  The dead weren’t totally human so therefore it was ok to exterminate them.
But we knew better.  We all did.  We knew it when Dred Scott declared that blacks weren’t fully human and when Hitler declared that the Jews were sub-human.  We knew better.  We know better today.  Our ignorance is simply…convenient…willful…selfish.  Calling an unborn human being non-human does not make it so.
Take a look at this picture.  It is harsh.  It is convicting.  It is tragic.  Yet we know it is real.  We know that “thing” growing inside a woman is a baby…what else could it be?  Calling it by some other term does not make it any less human.  Making it “legal” does not make it right.
You would have to search long and hard throughout history to find anything as massively evil as the willful slaughter of an unborn human being.  Yet this action is commonplace in America…legal…in a nation that loves to talk about fairness…diversity…equal rights…and protecting the weak.
Abortion is the ultimate bullying in a nation that claims to decry the powerful picking on the powerless.  What could be more helpless than an unborn child totally dependent on the love of another?  Yet we legalize it…glorify it actually…grant special rights and financial support to those who engage in the practice of it.  Love thy neighbor?  Give me a break.
Child sacrifice is all one big lie.  We all know the Truth.  Our judges know it.  Our elected officials know it.  Our police officers know it.  Planned Parenthood knows it.  The Republican Party knows it.  The Democrats know it.
But our pastors know it too.  And so do the disengaged men and women sitting in the pews.  They know blacks are not 3/5 human.  They know Jews are not animals, and they know the fetus is a living human being.
Life is the greatest of all gifts that God has given to man.  How can we fight so hard for our own life and be so cavalier about the life of another?
Abortion has not made America great.  As long as we permit it we will never be.
Christianity is anchored upon the life of a man who identified Himself as Truth.   The Church was God’s antidote to the lies.  Yet the church has embraced the lies.  Darkness and light now are in fellowship in the House of God.
Speaking such Truth today is considered harsh and divisive.  Child murder continues because the light has gone out in the church.
Abortion is murder and murder is not lawful.  It is not healthcare.  No one has the right to choose death for another.  Abortion is mean.  In our hearts…we all know that.
America will never be great as long as we kill our offspring.  Stop the denial.  Only the truth can set us free.

ENGLAND'S TOP FAMILY JUDGE, SIR JAMES MUNBY, APPLAUDS END OF THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY

ENGLAND’S TOP FAMILY JUDGE APPLAUDS END OF THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY

(Friday Church News Notes, June 8, 2018, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - 
Sir James Munby, President of the Family Division of England’s High Court of Justice, says society should “welcome and applaud” the collapse of the traditional family. At a lecture at the University of Liverpool, Munby said, “In contemporary Britain the family takes an almost infinite variety of forms. Many marry according to the rites of non-Christian faiths. People live together as couples, married or not, and with partners who may not always be of the other sex. Children live in households where their parents may be married or unmarried. They may be brought up by a single parent, by two parents or even by three parents. Their parents may or may not be their natural parents. They may be children of parents with very different religious, ethnic or national backgrounds, [and they] may be the children of polygamous marriages. ... This, I stress, is not merely the reality; it is, I believe, a reality which we should welcome and applaud” (“England’s Top Family Judge,” Breitbart.com, Jun. 3, 2018). This reminds us of what the prophet Isaiah said 2,700 years ago: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isa 5:20-21).

PRESIDENT TRUMP HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE WITH PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN~
POMPEO ALSO SPEAKS

President Trump said Thursday he hopes to normalize relations between the United States and Nk, but noted such a development would happen at the end of the ongoing push to denuclearize the isolated nation. “Normalizing relations is something that I would expect to do, I would hope to do when everything’s complete,” Trump said during a White House press conference with Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “We would certainly like to see normalization,” he added. Trump added that Nk has “tremendous” potential economically and that Abe, Sk president Moon and China President Xi Jinping have all expressed interest in doing business with Nk. U.S. officials have indicated they would be willing to lift economic sanctions on Nk if leader Kim agrees to fully abandon his nuclear program. Trump said he’s open to signing an agreement that would end the Korean W but called that “a first step.” “That’s really the beginning. Sounds a little bit strange, but that’s probably the easy part. The hard part remains after that,” he said. Trump is slated to meet with Kim next Tuesday at a luxury hotel in Singapore.

U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT REPORT PAINTS GRIM PICTURE OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION 
IN NORTH KOREA

(Friday Church News Notes, June 8, 2018, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - 
The following is excerpted from “Report: ‘Praying, Singing Hymns, and Reading the Bible’ Can Lead to Prison Camp,” CNSNews.com, May 30, 2018: 
Weeks before President Trump is expected to meet with Kim Jong Un, a State Department report issued Tuesday painted a grim picture of religious freedom abuses at the hands of the Stalinist regime--including ‘executions, torture, beatings, and arrests’ of people of faith. The report said that some of the up to 120,000 North Koreans being held in prison camps ‘under horrific conditions’ were incarcerated for religious reasons. It cited North Korean defectors and international non-governmental organizations as reporting that ‘any religious activities conducted outside of those that were state-sanctioned, including praying, singing hymns, and reading the Bible, could lead to severe punishment, including imprisonment in political prison camps.’ A South Korean NGO had recorded 1,304 cases of religious freedom violations carried out by North Korean authorities during the year in review, including 119 killings and 87 disappearances. Detentions accounted for another 770 of the incidents. ... ‘An estimated 80,000 to 120,000 political prisoners, some imprisoned for religious reasons, were believed to be held in the political prison camp system in remote areas under horrific conditions.’ It cited a religious freedom advocacy group, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, as saying the regime often applies a policy of ‘guilt by association,’ targeting not just Christians but detaining their relatives as well, irrespective of their own beliefs. The envisaged Trump-Kim summit in Singapore is focused on the crisis over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs and related security concerns. But rights campaigners are urging the president to put human rights on the agenda too. ... State Department ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom Sam Brownback said, ‘The president is right on point on North Korea. He’s very engaged on this, as you know. The Secretary [of State Mike Pompeo] is very engaged on this. And I think they’re raising all of these issues,’ he said. ... Brownback recalled that during his days in the Senate--he was a Republican senator from Kansas from 1996-2011 before serving as governor of Kansas--he raised concerns about North Korea, ‘but you couldn’t get anybody to act.’ ‘Well, this president is acting and he’s taking this issue on, even though it’s threatened us for years, if not decades.’”

FACEBOOK HIRING 

“NEWS CREDIBILITY SPECIALISTS”

The war on “fake news” is about to go to an entirely new level

BY Michael Snyder | End Of The American Dream 
According to media reports, Facebook has been seeking to hire “news credibility specialists” that will be tasked with “evaluating” which news publishers are “credible” and which are not.
If the goal was just to simply filter out the handful of websites that purposely publish fake news stories, that would be fine. But as we have seen so many times in recent years, these types of programs inevitably discriminate against conservative viewpoints. Facebook is highly liberal, and they will be hiring from a California talent pool that is also highly liberal. And liberals invariably consider liberal viewpoints to be more “credible” than conservative viewpoints. Facebook built an empire by giving everyone a voice, and it is simply not fair for them to try to exclude conservative viewpoints now just because they do not like them.
Hopefully, we can get some answers from Facebook about this. On their official job site, the advertisement for these positions indicated that these “news credibility specialists” would be involved in the creation of “a list of credible news organizations”
Per a report in Business Insider, as of Thursday, Facebook had two contract positions for “news credibility specialists” open on its job site. The jobs are based out of Menlo Park, California, where the site is headquartered, and one of them lists fluent Spanish as a requirement:
“We’re seeking individuals with a passion for journalism, who believe in Facebook’s mission of making the world more connected,” one of the two listings reads. It continues: “As a member of the team, you’ll be tasked with developing a deep expertise in Facebook’s News Credibility Program. You’ll be conducting investigations against predefined policies.”
Facebook would ask the specialists to help create a list of credible news organizations. That list could be used for various features on the site, from the newsfeed to its advertising system.
So what criteria will be used to determine which news organizations are “credible” and which are not?
In the end, it seems almost inevitable that liberal news organizations will receive more favorable treatment.
The job announcement on Facebook’s official job site is now down, but similar job postings also showed up on LinkedIn
Similarly worded job postings also appear on LinkedIn, posted by a staffing company on behalf of an unnamed Menlo Park company. (The LinkedIn URLs include the phrase “world’s largest social network,” which is kind of a tipoff it’s Facebook.) Those posts mention that “you’ll be tasked with developing a deep expertise in News Credibility Program and evaluating news publishers for policy compliance.”
And of course Facebook is not the first major social media company to do something like this.
In a recent article, I noted that YouTube made a decision to hire “10,000 new moderators” to “flag content” late last year.
The elite have decided that it is way too dangerous to allow “we the people” to control the narratives, because whoever controls the narratives has an enormous amount of power. This is a point that Caitlin Johnstone made extremely well in one of her recent articles…
The good news about all this is that we know exactly where our shackles are. Our shackles are made of narrative, and the oligarchs’ ability to control it. A populist movement to disrupt establishment narratives and wake people up to what’s going on is all it will take to break our rulers’ ability to control the way the citizens of the world think and vote. From there we can make our own narratives and create a world which benefits us all and not just a few ruling elites. Right now there is a mad rush by those same elites to scale back our ability to network and share information via new media, so one of the most revolutionary things we can do at this time is prevent them from doing so and outpace them in that race.
It isn’t the west versus Russia. It isn’t left versus right. At this time the real conflict in our society is a few ruling elites and their cronies versus humanity’s natural impulse to act in a way that is beneficial to humanity. All we need to do is help that impulse flourish, get out of our oligarchy-imposed brain boxes, and build a new world.
This is why the establishment is in such a rush to take control of the Internet.
They know that our future will be determined on the Internet, because that is “the marketplace” of today.
Just consider the following poll results which found that 45 percent of American teens say that they are online “almost constantly”, and another 44 percent said that they are online “several times a day”…
“The results varied by gender. Fifty percent of girls said they were always online compared with 39 percent of boys.
Teens’ internet presence has been enabled by near-universal adoption of smartphones, with 95 percent having access to a smartphone, according to the survey.”
Please note that the percentage of teens that say that they are online “almost constantly” has nearly doubled since the previous survey that was conducted in 2014 and 2015.
The Internet has essentially become a “matrix” that we are all willingly plugging ourselves into on a continual basis. And this is especially true for our young people. If you want to get a young person really, really angry, just cut off phone and Internet access for a while.
Internet addiction and phone addiction are both very real, and developers admit that software is often designed to be as addictive as possible
According to tech designers, software is deliberately designed to be “sticky” to affect our brains’ neurotransmitters so users spend more time on devices. In 2017, CBS’ 60 Minutes, aired a segment about this called, “Brain Hacking.” It featured an interview with tech designer, Tristin Harris. Other tech folks have also expressed remorse for their contribution to this.
“I Wake Up In Cold Sweats Thinking, What Did We Bring To The World?” – Tony Fadell, Nest Founder and one of the minds behind the iPod and the iPhone
Recently, Good Morning America aired a segment on a 48-hour experiment featuring 4 kids with unlimited screen time. There’s a reason why a documentary film about Digital Addiction was named Electronic Crack.
Today, the world is more “connected” than ever before, but the amount of time that we actually spend with other real people is at an all-time low.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why suicide rates in the United States have increased by 30 percent since 1999…
Suicide rates are up by 30 percent across the nation since 1999, federal health officials reported Thursday.
And only about half the people who died by suicide had a known mental health condition, even though depression had been thought to be the major cause of suicide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Our world is changing at a rate that would have been unthinkable 50 years ago, and the Internet is on the cutting edge of that change.
Will these changes result in a glorious new era of liberty and freedom for humanity, or will they result in a high tech dystopian nightmare?
The battle for the Internet is a battle for our future, and it is a battle that we cannot afford to lose.
