THE editor of National Geographic magazine, Susan Goldberg, apologizes for the racist opinions of her predecessors in the latest issue.
I’m the tenth editor of National Geographic since its founding in 1888. I’m the first woman and the first Jewish person—a member of two groups that also once faced discrimination here. It hurts to share the appalling stories from the magazine’s past.
Aside from the substance — or lack of substance — of Ms. Goldberg’s apology, it’s an odd thing for an editor to do. Editors don’t normally seek to denigrate their publications in public.
It seems that it is Ms. Goldberg who is the bigot.
Would the magazine of WASP racists fascinated by exotic cultures in far-off lands (though they did feature too many pictures of naked women — just like the mainstream media today) have ever so undercut the confidence of native, non-white cultures by portraying their children in sexual confusion (see below)? (Sorry, previous link was a fake.) I think not. I would wager that no previous editor of National Geographic has had anything remotely like the political agenda of Susan Goldberg and her backers in the entertainment industry, of which National Geographic is now a part.

A NUN who had been legally battling both the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Hollywood's Katy Perry in an effort to prevent Kerry from purchasing her convent's former headquarters collapsed and died in court on Friday. Sister Clare Rose Holzman's religious order, the sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary --- decimated by Vatican II and by psychological experimentation performed on the sisters --- left the building years ago. See Susan D. Harris's report in The American Thinker on the psychology experiments conducted at the convent. Harris writes: Never being one to believe in coincidences, I can't help but believe that Katy Perry knows exactly why she wants that particular piece of property, that it holds some kind of sick symbolism for her. But Sister Clare, 89, waged a valiant fight, for both financial and moral reasons, to prevent the creepy Kerry from taking over the building. Just a few hours before her death, Sister Clare told Fox News: "Katy Perry represents everything we don't believe in. It would be a sin to sell to her." What a great way to go --- fighting one of Hollywood's dark legions. May the soul of Sister Clare rest in peace for all eternity. The victory is hers.
MOST people, even non-Christians, know the dramatic accounts of Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection, historical events that are central to the Easter season. Fewer are familiar with the similarly dramatic events that occurred after Christ’s Passion and Resurrection. Understanding these events is crucial to understanding how the whole world came to know of this one execution.
The Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament tells of escapes, rescues, imprisonments, angry tribunals, executions and tense crowds that characterized the apostles’ evangelization efforts. The story of St. Paul’s visit to the Jewish temple in Jerusalem makes for especially riveting reading.
Remember, Paul had been a Jew who had been traveling through lands of the Roman Empire to round up other Jews who were joining the new sect of followers of the “Nazarene.” Those he captured were put in prison and sometimes executed. He had stood by as Stephen, also a Jew, was stoned to death by an angry Jewish crowd. Paul did all this until, as we all know, he was traveling to Damascus and was struck by a bolt of light and heard the voice of Christ. He instantly believed in the divinity of Jesus as the Messiah and became the most famous evangelist. He would receive other miraculous messages as well.
In Chapter 21, Paul visits the temple in Jerusalem to make sacrificial offerings. (The first Christians for a time honored what for many was their ancestral religion in this way.) After a few days of his presence, many in the temple come to realize who Paul is and seize him. They bring him before a Roman tribune, demanding that he be put to death.
Paul requests Roman justice: “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?” (more…)
OBITUARIES for most recently deceased Americans can be found at the major obituary website, Tributes.com. For instance, the obituary of a dear uncle of mine who died on February 25th is listed on the site. None of the victims of the Parkland shooting could be found there as of yesterday.
THE Occupied Vatican has issued an Easter stamp.
It depicts a toned “Gym Jesus” — an apparent shout-out to the man lovers in Antipope Francis’s Tower of Babble. The stamp is not only cheesy and sentimental, it’s obscene and blasphemous. What do you expect? The Vatican II religion is attuned to ugliness in art — one of the signs that it is not Catholic — and promotes a “God of Surprises.”
Stay tuned for many more surprises until the true God, working through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, brings this living hell of non-stop kitsch and blasphemy to an end.
Speaking of antipopes, ever wonder how the Church can guarantee the perpetual succession of popes given that the Vatican II “popes” defected from the faith?
The French Dominican Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers solved this problem with his Cassiciacum Thesis, which recognizes the election of these men as valid, but their authority null and void because of their heresies. It’s common sense, and not that hard to understand.
BEVERLY writes: As the children start writing books about their liberal, demented parents and the abuse, I wonder if the law will start prosecuting these sickos. From Lifesite News: The daughter of famed science fiction author Marion Zimmer Bradley has written an autobiographical account revealing the horrors of growing up in a home raised by LGBT parents who repeatedly sexually abused her and her brothers. “I have heard all the customary protestations. ‘Your parents were evil because they were evil, not because they were gay,’ but I disagree,” writes Moira Greyland in her new book, The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon. “The underlying problem is a philosophical one that is based on beliefs that are not only common to gay culture but to popular culture. And this is the central belief: All Sex is Always Right No Matter What,” she wrote.

"HATRED" is a word bomb. Throw it into a crowd and watch it paralyze thought. Put it on your front lawn and wound the opposition with a powerful package of guilt. Feel your superiority magically rise. "Hatred" is a status symbol and an incantation -- hate, hate, hate. The great thing about calling someone "hateful" is, it entitles you to be hateful. "Poof!" -- and you are good, infinitely better than those crass, working-class haters with their hateful hatefulness. The term is a weapon used by some not-very-nice people to demonize anyone who refuses groveling submission to the world controllers. You don't need vast armies to take over the world. You just need the right words. Hatred is invisible. You can't ever disprove that you are hateful. You don't feel hateful? That doesn't mean you are not. 'Hate' is the perfect snare, entangling its victims in a sticky web. Line up the hatefully hateful, the haters, the hate-happy. You have the right -- no, the obligation -- to hate them.
A COMMENT by Jude Duffy posted at Henry Makow: A few years ago a prominent Catholic traditionalist wrote an article stating that the Catholic "traditionalist movement" should, in the future, exclude from its ranks anyone who espoused "wacky conspiracy theories" about 9/11 and other terror "events". In this guy's eyes, embarrassing "duh movement" by doubting the MSM version of reality had become tantamount to heresy. I mention this only because the writer concerned, would doubtless claim to be deeply skeptical of the corporate MSM - as would all the white nationalists, pro-Palestinian activists, anti-globalists, etc., who also ignore the glaringly obvious anomalies in most official accounts of terror events and "mass shootings". Whatever excuse there may once have been for this willful blindness, it completely disappeared in recent years: the role of Israel, the Saudis and the western powers in sponsoring Isis and Al Qaeda in the Muslim world is now a matter of public record. It follows that there's nothing remotely far-fetched about believing that these powers might also stage false flags in the west under the flag of Isis. Yet a vulgar intellectual snobbery (which is just another term for spiritual pride) and a short-sighted worldly concern for the public standing of their own "movements" precludes many self-proclaimed anti-globalists from admitting the truth about false flag terror - even to themselves.
PARENTS, build a moat around your children to protect them from this freakish culture.

First off I would like to say I appreciate you pursuing the truth, and this is not a personal attack or an attack on conspiracy theories.
However, you have some faulty logic regarding this shooting being “faked.” First, you claim there should be blood splatter everywhere, and you expect there to be blood on Nikolas Cruz. This isn’t a Tarantino movie – gunshots don’t create “splatter” unless shot in the head, and even then splatter is minimal. If you don’t believe me, watch any shooting on Live Leak. (more…)
MATTEO SALVINI is poised to be Italy's next prime minister after Sunday's election. He promised to deport 500,000 illegal migrants. The close results are likely to lead to a hung parliament.
RON PAUL writes in his column today:
This month marks the 15th anniversary of the US war on Iraq. The “shock and awe” attack was launched based on “stove-piped” intelligence fed from the CIA and Pentagon through an uncritical and compliant US mainstream media. The US media was a willing accomplice to this crime of aggression committed by the George W. Bush Administration.
Despite the lies we were constantly bombarded with, Iraq never presented a threat to the United States. Iraq never had the weapons of mass destruction that the neocons used to frighten Americans into supporting the war. How many of them knew all along that there were no WMDs? We’ll never know. Attacking Iraq and overthrowing its leader was long a plan in the neocon playbook and they used the 9/11 attack on the US as an excuse to pull the plan off the shelf and put it into action.
The US “regime change” war on Iraq has directly resulted in the death of at least a quarter of a million civilians, and indirectly perhaps a million Iraqis have been killed. The Iraqi infrastructure was destroyed and the country was set back many decades in development. Far from the democratization we were promised, Iraq has been turned into a hell on earth. Due to the US use of depleted uranium and other chemical weapons like white phosphorus, Iraqis will continue to suffer from birth defects and other related illnesses for generations. (more…)
AT 9:32 a.m. on the morning of the Feb. 14 shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the school's news anchorman David Hogg made a video interviewing a student about the shooting, which did not occur until after 2:19 p.m that day. So almost five hours before the shooting, Hogg was offering "live" commentary. See minute 1:42 in this video in which he states the time. Hogg also mentions in the same video compilation the name of the suspect well before he could possibly have known who the suspect was. For those who do not consider the strange behavior of students who can film interviews and make a mini-documentary while hiding in a closet during a massacre sufficient reason to doubt the story, these time discrepancies should disprove the official version. Youtube and Google have in the past week purged their platforms of hundreds of video reports about the shooting and about the Sandy Hook shootings. Why would they censor videos if they were wildly off-base?
J.P. STRALEY writes: Just a quick comment on rock music as discussed in the recent "Globalism" post. It's not beautiful! The writers and players do not have that idea in mind. Consider the direct opposite, classical music. There is not one work you can name in which the composer did not have the over-arching drive to create something of beauty. Try listening to some rock, and then immediately afterward to classical. This highlights the different ambitions of the two sets of composers...some sort of edgy excitement for rock, and just plain old transcendent beauty for classical.

THE UNFAMILIARITY OF AMERICANS with basic medical facts related to gun violence is a serious problem in this age of mass shooting reports. Those who have never been to crime scenes or seen real people who have been shot or stabbed (I did repeatedly in my years as a newspaper reporter) may be easily deceived.
The writer Bernie Suarez explains in this 2017 piece some of the things you need to look for in the news in terms of both the physical and psychological responses to gun violence. (I apologize for the ads on the linked page.) He writes: (more…)
