air force pulls christian-themed ethics training for nuke officers

from truth-out: The Air Force, in response to an exclusive report published by Truthout earlier this week, has withdrawn materials used in a training session that relied upon passages from the New and Old Testament and a quote from an ex-Nazi SS officer to teach missile officers about the morals and ethics of launching nuclear weapons... The course was led by Air Force chaplains and took place during a missile officer's first week in training at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Officers who train to be missileers were required to attend the ethics course, which included a PowerPoint presentation on St. Augustine's "Christian Just War Theory" as well as numerous examples of characters from the New and Old Testament the training materials asserted engaged in warfighting in a "righteous way."

polygamist curses his prosecutors with 'sickness & death'

now that's a 'holy hex'...

from nytimes: The leader of a polygamist sect said that unless his trial on sexual assault charges was halted, those involved would face “sickness and death.” The sect leader, Warren S. Jeffs, has been representing himself in his trial on charges that he sexually assaulted two under-age girls. He spoke for nearly an hour in court on Thursday, objecting to testimony about evidence that was seized by F.B.I. agents at his group’s compound in Texas. After Judge Barbara Walther overruled his objection, he told her he had to read a statement from God. Judge Walther dismissed the jury, and Mr. Jeffs, the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, read a statement saying God demanded that the trial end. The judge told Mr. Jeffs she would remove him from court if he made such a reference in front of jurors.

anders breivik: manufactured patsy

Oslo and Utoya island killer Anders Behring Breivik possesses traits of a manufactured patsy, right down to a third name in the manner of Lee Harvey Oswald. Paul Joseph Watson lists a number of anomalies, such as the killer's changing Facebook page, in recent article, "Anders Behring Breivik: Manufacturing a Patsy?". There is, also, the simple observation that it's improbable one shooter managed to kill upwards of 80 people on his own. Further, Breivik was seen hanging around Oslo for extended period around time of bombing, and another curious fact, Norwegian Prime Minister had been scheduled to be there. Oslo Police conducted bombing exercise just days prior to real bombing. There's more but when storyline and visuals rival a Hollywood movie, it begins to smell like a false flag psyop! Wayne Madsen reports a Mossad connection and Norway supports Palestinians' cause. Alex Jones interviewed by Russia Today says,"Breivik Mason's Patsy," and observes a flip in the global agenda, where right wing extremists become tool of choice, now. Jones gets it right to reveal Masonic links! It's Masons not Muslims, stupid!

the knight templar 2083 by anders behring breivik

Masonic not Muslim terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, is also a writer and movie maker. An anglicized version of his name, Andrew Berwick, appears on a long "manifesto", "2083 - A European Declaration of Independence", with a Templar Cross on the title page.  The movie, "The Knight Templar 2083," is derived from the manifesto. The manifesto and movie are a declaration to rid Europe of cultural marxism and islamification to be replaced by nationalism and conservative cultural values. De Laude Novae Militiae is also on title page, which translates "in praise of new knighthood" and also a work by Bernard of Clairvaux, a French Abbott, who profoundly influenced the Knights Templars. Does anyone get a whiff of a "divide and conquer" psyop? The real question are people going to fall for it? The dark skinned foreign people did not invade--a demographic jihad--the governments of Europe allowed it. It's almost transparent, invite in a foreign element to create friction and occupy the masses while governments--and their crimes go ignored--don't fall for it!

lord randolph spencer-churchill: ringleader of 'jack the ripper' murders

John Hamer, author of the new book, "The Falsification of History - Our Distorted Reality," discloses the real story behind the "Jack the Ripper" murders of 1888 London. "Freemason, Secretary of State for India, the Leader of the House of Commons and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Randolph Spencer-Churchill, father of the future prime minister, Winston Churchill...was not only the 'brains' behind the entire operation, but he was also personally responsible for the cutting of Masonic emblems and symbols into the bodies of the victims, while William Gull's skilled surgeon's hands of performed the organ removals." The acts represent, as stated, Masonic blood sacrifice. The reasons behind the murders are tawdry like the acts themselves and as colorful as any tabloid tale - which includes murder, lobotomy, mistaken identity and false imprisonment. It's uncertain whether you can call Churchill "the brains" as some acts are clumsy, such as when the wrong person gets murdered - or perhaps it's just aristocratic indifference? It's a salacious tale and very entertaining - much like a grocery store checkout tabloid!

oregon church uses hallucinogenic drug for religious ceremonies

federal court to hear appeal on the case

from god discussion: A Federal High Court has agreed to hear the appeal on the case of an Oregon church known as the Holy Light of the Queen which uses a hallucinogenic substance called ayahuasca which it brews for its members to drink in religious services. The leader of the church, Jonathan Goldman, was arrested in 1999 by the police after a consignment of the tea from Brazil was intercepted by the U.S. customs. In 2009, after members of Jonathan Goldman's Holy Light of the Queen sued on the grounds that the arrest of their leader Jonathan Goldman was in violation of their religious rights, U.S. District Judge Owen Panner delivered judgment that the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act guaranteed the right of the church and its members to use the hallucinogenic brew in their religious ceremonies. The church had argued to the judge's satisfaction that the brew was not harmful and was not being used outside religious ceremonies of the Church. The decision to hear an appeal on the case follows from a challenge to Judge Owen Panner's judgment in February this year by Attorney General Eric Holder who filed a brief with the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on the grounds that the church had not made any distinction in its case between their freedom to use the drug and their freedom from having the government regulate use of the drug. Eric Holder emphasized the fact that the hallucinogenic drug used in the tea was a highly restricted drug in the U.S.

fbi invites controversial westboro baptist to counterterror program

from npr: The Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for picketing soldiers' funerals with signs like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "God Hates the USA." Yet the FBI recently invited leaders of the fundamentalist church to the Quantico Marine base in Virginia to talk to FBI agents as part of the bureau's counterterrorism training program. But after four sessions this spring, the FBI canceled the arrangement amid criticism from inside the bureau, while church leaders claimed that they had been misled. The church group, led by Pastor Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kan., says its protests are intended to tell the world that God is punishing the U.S. military for America's tolerance of homosexuality. The pastor claims to be the prophet of God's wrath. The FBI first invited the church group to address the FBI's law enforcement training classes back in 2008. And initially, there were no apparent problems. But the most recent sessions, including three at Quantico and one in Manassass, Va., stirred up controversy.

'billions worth' of treasure found in indian temple

from wikinews: Officials announced that a treasure containing sacks of diamonds and gold coins as well as golden idols, jewelry and other riches has been discovered in the secret subterranean vaults of Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple, in the southwestern state of Kerala, India. Estimates of its worth have been rising and it is now thought to be worth $20 billion. The Hindu temple was built in the 16th century by the kings of the then Kingdom of Travancore to serve as a royal chapel for the rulers of Travancore. The six vaults containing the treasure have been undisturbed for over a century. Assessment of the treasure began on June 27 after a lawyer concerned about the security of the treasure petitioned India's Supreme Court, which then appointed a seven-member panel of experts to inventory the treasure. The panel does not have the power to determine to whom the treasure will belong. Estimates of the treasure's worth are rising, provoking a heated debate as to how the treasure will be used in a country that has 450 million poverty-stricken people. The chief minister of Kerala, Oommen Chandy, announced on Sunday the treasure would remain with the temple, and security matters would be decided in consultation with the Travancore Royal Family, the temple management, and the temple priest. "The gold was offered to the lord. It is the property of the temple. The government will protect the wealth at the temple," Oommen Chandy said. Meanwhile, hundreds of armed police have been deployed around the temple to protect the treasure.
