Mother Refuses Abortion
Doctors told her that abortion was the best plan, but this young mother
refused. And that baby went on to inspire millions by growing up to be
Andrea Bocelli.
Principle of Birth Control
“The root principle of birth-control is
unsound. It is a glorification of the means and a contempt of the end;
it says that the pleasure which is a means to the procreation of
children is good, but the children themselves are no good. In other
words, to be logical, the philosophy of birth-control would commit us to
a world in which trees were always blooming but never giving fruit, a
world full of sign-posts that were leading nowhere. In this cosmos
every tree would be a barren fig tree and for that reason would have
upon it the curse of God.”

Gold-Loving Bacteria Shows Superman Strength
EAST LANSING, Mich. — At a time when the value of gold has reached an all-time high, Michigan State University researchers have discovered a bacterium’s ability to withstand incredible amounts of toxicity is key to creating 24-karat gold.
“Microbial alchemy is what we’re doing – transforming gold from something that has no value into a solid, precious metal that’s valuable,” said Kazem Kashefi, assistant professor of microbiology and molecular genetics.
He and Adam Brown, associate professor of electronic art and intermedia, found the metal-tolerant bacteria Cupriavidus metallidurans can grow on massive concentrations of gold chloride – or liquid gold, a toxic chemical compound found in nature.
In fact, the bacteria are at least 25 times stronger than previously reported among scientists, the researchers determined in their art installation, “The Great Work of the Metal Lover,” which uses a combination of biotechnology, art and alchemy to turn liquid gold into 24-karat gold. The artwork contains a portable laboratory made of 24-karat gold-plated hardware, a glass bioreactor and the bacteria, a combination that produces gold in front of an audience.
Brown and Kashefi fed the bacteria unprecedented amounts of gold chloride, mimicking the process they believe happens in nature. In about a week, the bacteria transformed the toxins and produced a gold nugget.
“The Great Work of the Metal Lover” uses a living system as a vehicle for artistic exploration, Brown said. In addition, the artwork consists of a series of images made with a scanning electron microscope. Using ancient gold illumination techniques, Brown applied 24-karat gold leaf to regions of the prints where a bacterial gold deposit had been identified so that each print contains some of the gold produced in the bioreactor.
“This is neo-alchemy. Every part, every detail of the project is a cross between modern microbiology and alchemy,” Brown said. “Science tries to explain the phenomenological world. As an artist, I’m trying to create a phenomenon. Art has the ability to push scientific inquiry.”
It would be cost prohibitive to reproduce their experiment on a larger scale, he said. But the researchers’ success in creating gold raises questions about greed, economy and environmental impact, focusing on the ethics related to science and the engineering of nature.
“The Great Work of the Metal Lover” was selected for exhibition and received an honorable mention at the world-renowned cyber art competition, Prix Ars Electronica, in Austria, where it’s on display until Oct. 7. Prix Ars Electronica is one of the most important awards for creativity and pioneering spirit in the field of digital and hybrid media, Brown said.
“Art has the ability to probe and question the impact of science in the world, and ‘The Great Work of the Metal Lover’ speaks directly to the scientific preoccupation while trying to shape and bend biology to our will within the postbiological age,” Brown said.
Plenary Indulgence Announced For The Year Of Faith
-
The Holy See announced Oct. 5 that Pope Benedict XVI has granted a
plenary indulgence for the Year of Faith, which will last from Oct. 11,
2012 to Nov. 24, 2013.
The decree announcing the indulgence was signed Sept. 14 by Cardinal
Manuel de Castro, Major Penitentiary, and Bishop Kryzsztof Nykiel,
Regent, of the Apostolic Penitentiary. The penitentiary is the part of
the Roman Curia responsible for indulgences and governing the sacrament
of confession.
One plenary indulgence per day may be gained by an individual, which
they can use for themselves or apply to a soul in purgatory. The
indulgence remits the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has
already been forgiven.
During the Year of Faith, there are four means of gaining an indulgence.
First, by attending at least three sermons “during the Holy Missions”
or reading at least three lessons from the documents of the Second
Vatican Council or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The second way is by making a pilgrimage to a basilica, catacomb,
cathedral, or location designated by the local bishop for the Year of
Faith, and either participating there in a sacred celebration, praying
or meditating. The act of prayer should finish with an Our Father, a
recitation of the Creed and a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The third method of gaining an indulgence is by participating in Mass
or the Liturgy of the Hours on a day chosen by the local ordinary, and
reciting the Creed.
Finally, people can visit their place of baptism and renew their baptismal promises there.
Those who cannot attend such celebrations for serious reasons may still
obtain the indulgence if they pray an Our Father and a Creed and other
prayers that agree with the objectives of the Year of Faith.
A plenary indulgence also requires that the individual be in the state
of grace, have complete detachment from sin, and pray for the Pope's
intentions. The person must also sacramentally confess their sins and
receive Communion up to about 20 days before or after completing the
other acts.
The Year of Faith is meant to “recall the precious gift of faith” and
“its correct interpretation.” It marks the 50th anniversary of the
opening of the Second Vatican Council. Its opening also coincides with a
general synod of bishops on the New Evangelization, which is taking
place Oct. 7-28 at the Vatican.

Thought For The Day: Prayer
 |
| Source: Cindy's Daily Inspirational Blessings |
A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was kinda shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
then rose and walked away.
In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for
a moment, a lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and
ask him, "What are you doing here?"
The old man said, he worked down
the road. Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
for finding strength and power.
"I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is quite away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
this is kinda what I say.
"I just came again to tell you,
Lord, how happy I've been,
since we found each other's friendship
and You took away my sin.
"Don't know much of how to pray,
but I think about You every day.
I just wanted to tell you, Jesus,
that this is Jim checking in."
The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
to come and pray just anytime.
"Time to go," Jim smiled and said
"Thanks." He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted, warmed
with love, and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer.
"I just came again to tell
you, Lord, how happy I've been
since we found each other's friendship,
and You took away MY sin.
"I don't know much of how to pray,
but I think about You every day.
and I just want to tell you,
Jesus, this is me checking in."
Past noon one day, the minister
noticed that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without him,
he began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked
about him, learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
but he'd given them quite a thrill.
The week that Jim was with them,
brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, his joy contagious,
changed people. That was his reward.
The nurses couldn't understand
why Jim was always so glad,
No flowers, calls, or cards came,
not a visitor he had.
The minister stayed by his bed,
and voiced the nurse's concern.
No friends came to show they cared,
he had nowhere to turn.
Surprised, old Jim spoke up
and said with a winsome smile,
"the nurses are wrong, they couldn't
know, that in here all the while,
everyday at noon He's here,
a dear friend of mine, you see.
He sits right down, takes my hand,
leans over and says to me,
"I just came again to tell you, Jim,
how happy I have been,
since we found this friendship,
and I took away your sin.
"I always love to hear you pray,
I think about you every day.
I just wanted to let you know, Jim,
that this is Jesus checking in."

Leading World Bank Demographer: Vaccination Campaigns Part Of Population Reduction Policy
October 5, 2012
On October 2nd a retired demographer at the World Bank admitted that vaccination campaigns are an integral part of the World Bank’s population policies. John F. May, the Bank’s leading demographer from 1992 to 2012, told the French web journal Sens Public (and in turn transcribed by the think-tank May works for) that vaccination campaigns, especially in so-called “high-fertility countries”, are means to achieve population reduction in those countries. May:
“The means used to implement population policies are “policy levers” or targeted actions such as vaccination campaigns or family planning to change certain key variables.”
Defining “population policy” as “a set of interventions implemented by government officials to better manage demographic variables and to try to attune population changes (number, structure by age and breakdown) to the country’s development aspirations”, May continues to explain that the World Bank is taking up the lead role in achieving general population reduction.
It is not the first time that World Bank officials boast about their willingness to implement strict population control policies in the Third World. In its 1984 World Development Report, the World Bank suggests using “sterilization vans” and “camps” to facilitate its sterilization policies for the third world. The report also threatens nations who are slow in implementing the bank’s population policies with “drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom.”:
“Population policy has a long lead time; other development policies must adapt in the meantime. Inaction today forecloses options tomorrow, in overall development strategy and in future population policy. Worst of all, inaction today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow population growth.”, the report states. Some of those steps are now being taken.
A study published in Human and Experimental Toxicology in May of 2011 concluded that “nations that require more vaccine doses tend to have higher infant mortality rates.” (page 8).
After an in-depth study into the effects of vaccine-coverage in relation to mortality rates among infants, the authors Neil Z. Miller and Gary S. Goldman came to this disturbing conclusion and advised that “a closer inspection of correlations between vaccine doses, biochemical or synergistic toxicity, and IMRs, is essential.”- but naively concluded that “All nations—rich and poor, advanced and developing—have an obligation to determine whether their immunization schedules are achieving their desired goals.”
The authors cannot be expected to know that, actually, that the desired goals are exactly being achieved. Their final point is significant in this regard, that they obviously were not working on the notion that vaccines were harmful and obviously drew their final conclusions on the basis of the idea that the increase in high mortality rates among infants were unintended. The opposite is the case. The World Health Organization, the World Bank, The UN environmental department, the UN Population Fund, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and all the other arms of the creature we call the scientific dictatorship are closing in on all of humanity with mass-scale vaccination programmes and genetically engineered food.
Where the mantra used to be “to combat global warming, we need a one world government”, now it sounds something along the lines of “when we wish to eradicate poverty, we must have a global government and reduce human numbers, by the way.” Any pretext will do. More recently it were oceans in need that prompted the World Bank to initiate a global “alliance”. The same argument can of course be applied and is being applied to every other possible calamity.
Following this line of reasoning will inevitably bring you to pretexts under which global population control can be sold. Want to reduce victims of drunk driving? Reduce human numbers. Looking to cure cancer? Reduce the birthrate so less people will die as a result of it. The scientific community has joined the effort, attempting to sell population reduction to stop poverty and disease worldwide.
Under the guidance of Ban Ki-moon’s top advisor, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, several studies have been published which call for mass population reduction in the name of poverty-reduction. In 2009 Sachs and his protégé’s Pejman Rohani and Matthew H. Bonds wrote the paper Poverty trap formed by the ecology of infectious diseases. They write that the “poverty trap may (…) be broken by improving health conditions of the population.”
The question that arises, of course, is how to improve “health conditions”. In another study from 2009 Bonds and Rohani say:
““(…) the birth of a child in the poorest parts of the world represents not only a new infection opportunity for a disease, but also an increase in the probability of infection for the rest of the susceptible host population. Thus, epidemiological theory predicts that a reduction in the birth rate can significantly lower the prevalence of childhood diseases.”
Earlier that same year, Bonds wrote a dissertation entitled Sociality, Sterility, and Poverty; Host-Pathogen Coevolution, with Implications for Human Ecology. The study concludes that the best way to eradicate poverty and disease is to, well… eradicate humans.
“We find that, after accounting for an income effect, reducing fertility may result in significantly lower disease prevalence over the long (economic) term than would a standard S-I-R epidemiological model predict, and might even be an effective strategy for eradicating some infectious diseases. Such a solution would make Malthus proud”, Bonds writes.
“(…) the new model, which accounts for an economic effect, predicts that a reduction in fertility may be significantly more effective than a vaccine. It also illustrates that a sustained vaccination policy would be more likely to eradicate a disease if done in conjunction with decreased reproduction.”
“This model”, Bond continues, “is likely to understate the true benefits of reduced fertility because the effect of reducing the birth rate is to reduce the flow of susceptible for all diseases, which is the equivalent of a vaccine for all infectious diseases at the same time.”
If you eradicate the human, you eradicate the disease- problem solved:
“Infectious diseases, however, continue to be most significant in developing countries, which experience relatively rapid population growth. The effect of this influx of children on the persistence and dynamics of childhood diseases, as well as on the critical vaccination coverage, is reasonably well-established (McLean and Anderson, 1988a; Broutin et al., 2005). But it is now warranted to turn this framework on its head: can fertility reduction be an integral element of a disease eradication campaign?”
The answer to that question is given by Bill Gates in 2010 when he promoted using vaccines to lower the population by 10 to 15%:
Disease and poverty, intertwined as they are, can therefore be eliminated by mas-scale fertility reduction. The religion of the scientific dictatorship in a nutshell.
It wasn’t the first time that Mr. Sachs called for global coordination in regards to population control. In a September 2009 UN press release, Sachs not only lamented human activity on the planet, but argued for scientists and engineers to take the steering-wheel in this process:
“We’re in the age of this planet where human activity dominates the earth’s processes. Humanity has become so large in absolute number and in economic activity that we have overtaken earth processes in vital ways to the point of changing the climate, the hydrologic cycle,” he told the UN Conference on Trade and Development.”
“We don’t necessarily need diplomats around the table”, Sachs continued. “We need engineers around the table, scientists around the table. We need to put the cards down and have a new kind of process.”
What kind of model does Sachs envision for his usurping utopia? He stated in an Economist publication in 2000:
“The model to emulate is the Rockefeller Foundation, the pre-eminent development institution of the 20th century, which showed what grant aid targeted on knowledge could accomplish.”
I don’t have to remind readers that it was the Rockefeller Foundation that funded and developed vaccines designed to reduce your fertility, and intended to distribute these vaccines on a mass-scale.
In his commentary The Specter of Malthus Returns, Sachs gives an adequate description of Agenda 21 without actually mentioning the UN plan for wealth redistribution and global population reduction:
“We will need to rethink modern diets and urban design to achieve healthier lifestyles that also reduce consumption. And to stabilize the global population at around eight billion, we will have to help Africa and other regions in speeding their demographic transition. We are definitely not yet on such a trajectory. We will need new policies to push markets down that path and to promote technological advances in resource saving. We will need a new politics to recognize the importance of a sustainable growth strategy and global cooperation to achieve it.”
As Paul Joseph Watson reported in his September 2010 article Global Tax Scam Shifts From Climate Change to Poverty, the pretexts under which the ongoing effort to establish a world government is moving forward is undergoing a transformation. The focus has now drifted away from the thoroughly debunked global warming myth to poverty-reduction. As usually is the case, once the pretext is sold to the unsuspecting, the eugenicists move in to “reduce fertility.” Global government, in other words, to facilitate global scientific dictatorship.

Memory Like An Elephant's
"An amazing occurrence happened in South Africa when 31 elephants made a “Journey To Pay their Respect.” How did they know? Something that is greater and deeper than human intelligence informed them that their hero – the man who had saved their lives and many other animals – had made his transition from this earthly world. Lawrence Anthony (1950 – 2012), a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller "The Elephant Whisperer", bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all over the globe from human atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals during the US invasion in 2003. On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
Two
days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by
two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived in droves to say
goodbye to their beloved man-friend'. A total of 31 elephants
had patiently walked over 12 miles to reach his South African House.
Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only because
of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these elephants
sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of the profound memory
and emotion the beloved animals evoked in such an organized way.
Spain Police Beating Everyone: A Warning To America
Alexander Higgins

October 7, 2012
Spain’s police state has spiraled out of control as riot police are now running throughout the streets beating everyone in sight, men and woman, young and old.
When the people demand democracy from an oligarchy that rules their subjects trough the strong-arm of a totalitarian police state the streets fill with the madness and mayhem seen in this video.
Since September 25th the masses of Spain, no longer being able to feed themselves or their families, have risen up against the oligarchy to protest further budget cuts and massive tax increases a situation so dire it threatens their very survival.
While the masses suffer those the poor are being robbed yet again to bail out the rich.
The overlords have no sympathy for the less fortunate and instead of forcing the bankers to take the loses on their investments the ruling class remains disconnected from the reality of millions.
The unrest has spans across Europe into several nations being forced the pinch out the masses by globalist regulatory bodies claiming nations need to get their fiscal house in order
But as we have seen in every previous past crash situations such as these are used as nothing more than excuse to help the rich reduce their own tax burden and the operating costs of the corporations they run.
Yet this time around the downward spiral only continues to self-perpetuate and deepen as the funds collected with each passing austerity cut are spent funding yet another banker bailout which acts as nothing more than a band-aid on a hemorrhaging gashes of a collapsing economic system that has struck with a self-inflicted mortal wound delivered by a trifecta of rapacious greed, rampant fraud and unbearable corruption.
Soon America will face the same fate is its own financial house is much worse than that of Spain and instead of blaming the trillions wasted on implementing an Orwellian control totalitarian police state complete with kidnapping, tortures, assassinations and the mass murder of millions in illegal overseas wars the bullseye will be aimed directly at the middle class when they are already suffering through one of the worst economic crisises in the history of this nation.
Our politicians seem to be so utterly incompetent the can accomplish nothing besides lining their own pockets with money but they are world-renowned experts at kicking the can down road.
Come this January the Fiscal cliff will be staring them in the face and they may find when they try kicking the can this time it just won’t move.
If that happens then America will face its first of several rounds of across the board Austerity cuts and feel for the first time pain of the bite that has bitten the people of Europe repeatedly over the last several years.
With many Americans already so-inclined to take their grievances out into the streets we will certainly do so in solidarity with our brothers and sisters overseas.
As we have seen with the Occupy movement even nonviolent mass protests have been met with the authoritarian fist of the Oligarchy’s army of mercenaries so we can be rest assured when those numbers swell into the millions, as they have in Spain and several other European nations, the response the police state will be just as brutal.
Brace yourself America as our streets may soon resemble those in Spain where a rampantly brutal and out control police is acting swiftly to crush any popular resistance to Global cabal.
