Subverting Christian culture: The massive communist infiltration of the Catholic Church in the 1930s and its links to the abuse crisis

The Stalinist anti-Christian mission is now about to reach its goal two generations after Stalin, at a time when the West is facing the second coming of Marxism...With a weakened and demoralized Church, a new Soviet era will face little if any resistance in the West as it begins to take control and subvert the remains of Christian culture

Catholic abuse crisis is likely no accident, but a strategy to 'destroy church from within'

The shocking accusation by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò that Pope Francis helped cover up sexual misconduct - an accusation the Pope has so far declined to answer - as well as the litany of sexual abuse cases among clerics, force any Catholic to ask the question: how could this possibly take place in the moral institution that is the Roman Catholic Church?

One possible - little known, but very important - answer dates back to the Bolsheviks and their Communist leader Joseph Stalin.

Recently, I came across a video on Youtube of a presentation by former Soviet KGB propagandist Yuri Bezmenov, aka Tomas Schuman, who worked for the Soviet Union's Novosti Press Agency until he defected in 1970. In this 1983 video, he claimed that the West was slowly being subverted into Marxism by the methods of "ideological subversion," a form of warfare the KGB used against America.

Comment: Some may debate whether the Catholic church was a 'moral institution', but what can be noted is the fact that any institution (or nation) can be completely corrupted when those of a pathological nature are allowed to infiltrate and obtain positions of power.

March for Scottish independence in Edinburgh
I'm still buzzing as I write this column. I'm not long back from Edinburgh and I was so proud and inspired to march alongside well over 100,000 other supporters of independence for Scotland. We filled our capital city today with men, women and children from all walks of life and scores of dugs as well.

Sheldon is a kick in the arse off a horse and marched with purpose while Hamish was there with proud owner and SNP MP Brendan O'Hara and displayed impeccable manners and temperament.

It was a pleasure to walk alongside them from Johnstone Terrace near to Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Park down the Royal Mile. A relatively short 15 minute walk that took in excess of 90minutes to complete such was the incredible size of the crowd. I was there with my immediate family, my two girls Gail and Gabrielle, but the truth is we were all part of the one big family, The Indy Family.

To put the turnout into perspective imagine over one million people marching in London and you get the picture. Police estimates of the crowd ranged from 100,000 to 120,000 and the banners and placards were from every part of our broad movement.

The English Scots For YES group was there, alongside the Pensioners For YES, the YES Bikers, the Catalonia flags, EU flags, Red flags and a sea of saltires that depicted national identity and pride but without chauvinism or arrogance.

There was even a new Rangers Supporters For Independence banner which was made welcome. Young and old, men and women, black and white all marched with hope in their hearts and a vision for a new, better, fairer and nuclear-free Scotland in their heads.

'Brits don't want anymore immigrants': New anti-migrant incident on London tube

anti-migrant rant london tube
According to one angered woman in the UK, Brits "don't want any more immigrants, we want Britain to be Britain."

The 2016 referendum on the membership of the EU saw 52% of Brits back Brexit with immigration being a major factor swinging people's votes. For many, Brexit is a promise of reduced inflows of immigrants from Europe but also a step towards an overhaul of the UK immigration system.

Following the vote, expressions of anti-immigrant sentiment within the British society have become more prominent and visible.

On Saturday, a woman on the London tube was seen allegedly yelling at a teacher Nassima Iggoute, who filmed the woman and uploaded the clip on Facebook.

In the video, the woman is seen saying among other things:

"I'm on a train and there ain't one f**king British c*** on here, and what!"

Comment: British people have been under siege from the UK government's austerity policies which have slashed social spending, leaving the NHS destitute, poverty and homelessness rising and police forces cut while violent crime has soared. The fury over these policies combined with the influx of migrants could be a tinder box waiting to explode.

Former Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduces one of the first Model 3 cars
The 'deception' around electric car maker Tesla will catch up to the company soon, according to hedge fund manager David Einhorn. He compared Elon Musk's behavior to Lehman Brothers executives shortly before the bank's demise.

In a letter to investors, Einhorn wrote that like the investment bank that famously collapsed a decade ago "the deception is about to catch up to TSLA. Elon's Musk erratic behavior suggests that he sees it the same way."

According to Einhorn, "Lehman threatened short sellers, refused to raise capital (it even bought back stock), and management publicly suggested it would go private. Months later, shareholders, creditors, employees and the global economy paid a big price when management's reckless behavior led to bankruptcy."

Absent: No US press on American student detained in Ben Gurion Airport for 5 days over political views

Lara Alqasem
Israel's detention at its international airport of Lara Alqasem, 22, an American student holding a visa to study at Hebrew University, has gone on five days today. Reports from the Israeli media are that Alqasem, whose father is Palestinian, will get a hearing of her appeal of the deportation order- "within days," her lawyers hope.

This is plainly a battle between liberal forces inside Israel and the rightwing government. The Israeli government is denying visitors to Alqasem and is determined to deport her for pro-boycott views that Alqasem has sought to distance herself from.

The Times of Israel reports today:
The Tel Aviv District Court on Sunday was set to schedule a hearing for an appeal against the deportation of a US student of Palestinian descent, who was denied entry into the country last week over her alleged support of the movement to boycott Israel.
Alqasem is raising money by crowdsource in order to fight the deportation.

Syrian Kurds likely to hand over 'Jihadi Jack' to Canada instead of the UK

Jack Letts aka 'Jihadi Jack'
Ottawa is said to be working to return suspected Daesh militants with Canadian citizenship, and Jack Letts aka "Jihadi Jack" is among them. The news broke as Kurdish officials in northern Syria are seeking to kick out hundreds of foreign terrorists captured in liberated regions of the country.

Jack Letts, a suspected Daesh fighter with dual British-Canadian citizenship, is likely to be extradited to Ottawa rather than to London, The Guardian reported on Saturday, citing unnamed Canadian and Kurdish sources.

Letts, dubbed "Jihadi Jack" by the British media, is among alleged extremists held in Kurdish custody in northern Syria. Canadian government is said to have agreed to extradite an estimated 11 citizens, including Letts.


Comment: That should be 'accept extradition' of 11 citizens.


Unlike the UK, which maintains that it cannot provide consular assistance to British citizens overseas if there are no local UK consular services available, Canada says that citizens with purported terrorist links detained in Syria and Iraq have the right to return home to face questioning or stand trial.

However, the daily claims, Ottawa has recently backed out of the deal "without giving reasons." One explanation is that the government fears an influx of suspected Daesh fighters to the country before the 2019 elections, said Canadian terrorism expert Amarnath Amarasingam.

Comment: Return to sender? Policies and protocols between countries are not clear nor standardized. This becomes an excuse to refuse a returnee.

I hereby promise not to take drugs...honest: University prompts scheme to ask students to sign 'no drugs' contract

Young women use shopping bags to shelter from the rain during a "Carnage" student event in Lincoln.
A university is to ask its students to sign a no drugs contract in a bid to start a "revolution" and make drug-taking "socially unacceptable." The scheme was prompted by the news that over half of students take illegal drugs.

Writing for the MailOnline, Sir Anthony Seldon,the vice-chancellor of Buckingham University accused higher education bosses of lacking "moral leadership" on the issue of illegal drug-taking by students on campuses, claiming they were in part to blame for the epidemic.

"I began to ask myself what kind of moral leadership we university leaders were providing in colluding in the mass consumption of illegal drugs on our premises, with half and more students taking them?" Seldon wrote.

Buckingham University currently permits the police and sniffer-dogs on campus to deter use, but they hope its "compassionate policy" and support for those who want to stop using drugs will create a change in culture.

rapper Akon
Rap superstar, and Senegal transplant, Akon is planning a solar investment program in Sierra Leone to bring thousands of solar powered lights and traffic lights to the people. Conversely, other rap stars in the United States, like Daniel Hernandez, aka Tekashi 6ix9ine-who likes to post photos of himself holding large amounts of cash while degrading women on Instagram - are facing jail time for child rape. Clearly Akon gets it while many other rappers do not.


In an interview shared by the Sierra Leone presidency, as Africa News reports, Akon said: "Actually (the president) motivated me a lot more, you know; he is a very smart guy (and) he definitely understands Sierra Leone and he understands the future where Africa needs to be.

"Meeting with a lot of the younger Africans who have been elected now is really motivating because my biggest challenge was getting presidents to understand the vision, and with him we speak the same language.
