Facts for December 2018
Samuel Adams – A Quote to Ponder!
Fact Worth Pondering
September 11th – Then and Now
Fourteen years since 9/11 and I know many people were very reflective about that day. I imagine most people can even relate exactly where they were and what they were doing when the awful news became public.
I was up early, that day, and working on the computer when someone posted that it seems an airplane ‘accidentally’ plowed into a building in New York. Suddenly, a lot of messages were appearing as people tried to figure out what was happening. At that point, I turned on the television to see reporters racing into their respective studios without makeup or preparation to start reporting events as they happened.
Cameras were finally in place to show the first of the Twin Towers in flames and before anyone could really take this in, a second plane appeared and crashed into the second one further engulfing the towers. One plane off course could have been a flight error but two within that space of time indicated something quite else. Then news of other planes and other events started coming in and we were glued to the television hoping to get the real news and praying it wasn’t as bad as it appeared.
We were expected at church that day so drove over with the radio on and heard the next news about the Pentagon.
At Father’s homily, he said we should keep in our prayers a problem going on in New York. All he knew what that a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers. After Mass, a friend filled him in and said the look of dismay and sadness on the priest’ face really brought home the horror of what was unfolding.
After Mass, people milled around and remarked how quiet the skies seemed with the ban on aircraft taking off or landing in the US in place.
Of course, the minute we got home, the televison was back on and we tuned in just in time to see the Towers crash to the ground.
So, now we are fourteen years down the road and how are we remembering this horrific time in our history? We are, again, watching the news as hordes of many pseudo-refugees surge into European cities with no wish to assimilate but conquer. We wonder at countries so quickly allowing these people to push their way over the border. How could they allow so many people in when it would be evident that many terrorists would and could be hiding in the mix with thoughts of takeover and destruction from within. I guess we are going to find out as, initially, the president vowed to take in 10,000 of these ‘refugees’ next year which quickly changed in the news reports to 70,000 starting this October to John Kerry surmising the number could be as high as 100,000.
So, there is our 9/11 memorial ceremony of 2015! Instead of totally remembering the people who died so unnecessarily fourteen years ago, we are actually welcoming in a mix of refugees who will most certainly bring in the same types that tried to begin the demise of our country on 9/11 . . . only this time, with the political blessing of our leaders.

Questions to Ask Yourself About the Refugee Surge
Questions About the ‘Refugee’ Onslaught
(Questions raised by http://www.jewsnews.col.il)
1.) Why would Syrian refugees make the dangerous and extremely long journey to European nations and U.S. (who hold damnable doctrine and life-styles according to the Quran) rather than the Arab nations (who are Islamic oriented) around them?
2.) Why has it taken 5 full years (length of civil war in certain parts of Syria) for Syrians in the particular regions to leave?
3.) Why are refugees tossing out good water and food given to them by western governments on their arrival?
4.) Why are many of the refugees young men?
5.) Why are the 5 wealthiest Gulf Nations refusing to take even one refugee? What do they know that we don’t?
6.) Could it be this refugee crisis is not really a crisis at all but a Trojan Horse?
7.) Could it be that we could be looking at the most massive Infiltration of Muslims and the religion of Islam the West has EVER seen in History
8.) Could it be this “refugee crisis” is a planned takeover by the United Nations, U.S. and EU sensitive to the Caliphate of Islamic Teachings?
9.) Could it be that due to Russian intervention in the Syrian war backing Assad this Exodus of Syrians is due to a major surprise all-out attack to be launched by the U.S. and Nato in Syria making Damascus a “ruinous heap”?
10.) Does the China and Russia warships spotted off the coast of Alaska and Georgia U.S. last week indicate something far more threatening and sinister is about to take place on the global scene?
Tune in and get the answers to these questions and much more!

From the Private Prayers of Pope John Paul II
God of our Fathers,
great and merciful,
Lord of peace and of life,
Father of all.
Your plan is for peace and not for suffering,
You condemn war
and You humble the pride of the aggressor.
Your sent Your Son, Jesus
to proclaim peace near and far,
to unite men
of every race and every ethnicity
in a single family.
Hear the unanimous cry of your children,
the heartfelt supplication of all humanity;
no more war, an adventure without return,
no more war,
a spiral of grief and violence.
In communion with Mary, the Mother of Jesus,
we pray to you again:
speak to the hearts of those who decide
the destinies of peoples,
stop the cycle of retaliation
and revenge,
suggest with Your Spirit ne solutions,
generous and honorable gestures,
periods of dialogue and patient waiting
more fruitful than the swift actions
of war.
Grant in our time days of peace
No more war.
Amen.
Pope John Paul II

Political Definition!
Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
Ambrose Bierce
Natural Virtues and Modern Times
“Natural virtues, practiced in the proper frame of mind and heart, become supernatural. Each century calls for its type of Christian perfection. At one time it was martyrdom; at another it was the humility of the cloister. Today we need the Christian gentleman and the Christian citizen. An honest ballot and social decorum among Catholics will d more for God’s glory and the salvation of souls than midnight flagellations or Compostellan pilgrimages.”
(Archbishop Ireland – Introd. To Elliott’s Hecker.)
Interesting quote and our current mind set seems to fall short of the stated requirements. It is hard to forge ‘natural virtues’ on a large scale when the majority accept sin as normal and abortion a mere medical procedure. A ‘Christian gentleman and the Christian citizen’ would have spent more time researching their cast votes in many elections and we might not be in the moral and economic predicaments we find ourselves today. There is an often used phrase about apologizing afterwards. The trouble with that is the result of a selfish or unthoughtful vote/action could change the very future of even the yet unborn . . . At least those unborn who will be allowed the ‘privilege’ of being born.
An Interesting Perspective . . .
This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist. A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
———————————————————————–
‘Very few people were true Nazis,’ he said, ‘but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.
My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.’
We are told again and again by ‘experts’ and ‘talking heads’ that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the ‘silent majority,’ is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people..
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.
Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario , and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord’s Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?) The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.
In Australia , and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation’s shores.
In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of “no-go” zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.
As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts — the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on – before it’s too late.
And we are silent……
