  1. EILAT, Israel — The founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped the researcher hired to compile the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to share the document with Sen. John McCain.

    The goal of providing the dossier to McCain, the Fusion GPS founders explained, was to pass the information contained in the questionable document to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.

    The disclosure raises questions about whether McCain knew that the information he delivered to the intelligence community was actually an opposition document reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

    McCain’s office did not reply yesterday to a Breitbart News request for comment on the matter.

    Last December, it was revealed that it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as a basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

    This from Germany... unbelievable. This is the deputy president of the German Bishop's Conference, in essence, if you're a sinner and you want to continue to sin, no problem, the Bishop will give you a blessing. He's not helping these poor souls. They need to know that their actions are against God's commandments.

    German Bishop Calls For Blessing of Mortal Sin

    [​IMG]

    "Bishop Franz-Josef Bode of Osnabrück, Germany, the deputy president of the German Bishops' Conference, wants to introduce a "blessing“ for same-sex couples who engage in homosexual acts which are mortal sins and entail God's eternal condemnation.

    Talking to the Osnabrücker Zeitung (January 10), Bode said that he wants to meet the needs of practicing and unrepentant homosexuals and to "accompany them pastorally and liturgically”. He justified this by calling gay pseudo-marriages a “political reality”. National Socialism was also a "political reality".

    Bode asked for a "differentiated" assessment of gravely sinful gay liaisons, insinuating that, until Bode, the Church and Holy Scripture were "undifferentiated" in this regard. His gay proposals will eventually be accepted by the German bishops, further eroding the church and making it irrelevant to the world."

    Thank you for asking AED.
    It wasn't Fatima. I went on a mini-pilgrimage to several places in Italy - St Giovanni Rotondo (St Padre Pio), Monte Sant Angelo (where St Michael the Archangel appeared 3 times and consecrated the cave/shrine himself), Lanciano (Eucharistic Miracle), Loreto (Holy House believed to be the very home in which the Virgin Mary lived, conceived and raised the young Jesus), Assisi (St Francis and St Clare) and several places in Rome, including the Church of St Paul at Tre Fontane (where he was martyred), the Grotto of Our Lady of Revelation at Tre Fontane, the Church of Sancta Scala (Holy Stairs that Jesus climbed several times at the time of His Passion, where His Precious Blood stained several steps) and the Basilica di Santa Prassede (which is celebrating its 12th centenary anniversary, where the column of the flagellation of Christ is kept).
    God Bless.

    UNDERCOVER VIDEO: Twitter Engineers To “Ban a Way of Talking” Through “Shadow Banning,” Algorithms to Censor Opposing Political Opinions

    Steven Pierre, Twitter engineer explains “shadow banning,” says “it’s going to ban a way of talking”

    Former Twitter software engineer Abhinav Vadrevu on shadow banning: “they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it”

    Former Twitter Content Review Agent Mo Norai explains banning process: “if it was a pro-Trump thing and I’m anti-Trump… I banned his whole account… it’s at your discretion”

    When asked if banning process was an unwritten rule, Norai adds “Very. A lot of unwritten rules… It was never written it was more said”

    Olinda Hassan, Policy Manager for Twitter Trust and Safety explains, “we’re trying to ‘down rank’… shitty people to not show up,” “we’re working [that] on right now”

    “Shadow banning” to be used to stealthily target political views- former Twitter engineer says, “that’s a thing”

    Censorship of certain political viewpoints to be automated via “machine learning” according to Twitter software engineer
    Parnay Singh, Twitter Direct Messaging Engineer, on machine learning algorithms, “you have like five thousand keywords to describe a redneck…” “the majority of it are for Republicans”


    (San Francisco)
    In the latest undercover Project Veritas video investigation, current and former Twitter employees are on camera explaining steps the social media giant is taking to censor political content that they don’t like.

    Twitter is going to ban itself trying to stifle speech in this way. Do they not think that people will know that their posts are not being displayed to other users? They think themselves cunning but they are not very smart. All it takes is a second account or even a friend who tells you.
    In fact, because of the new policies they have instituted already there are many who are finding ways around their oppression of speech and launching a campaign to educate others to it.
    There are some very intelligent people out there who will not comply with this Globalist NWO agenda.

    If I may, I just want to mention an unexpected blessing received when my family was in San Giovanni Rotondo.
    It so happened that Don (Monsignor) Pierino Galeone, who had known St Pio and had been healed of tuberculosis by St Pio,was there at the hotel we stayed at, also known as the Centro Spirituale Padre Pio.
    As he was leaving, we asked for a family blessing, and after doing this he took out a card he kept near his breast. This card had a piece of garment/cloth which had the blood of St Pio on it. Don Pierino allowed us to put our faces near the card, and we all smelt the strong odor of sanctity - the sweet fragrance of roses!

    The following is part of an EWTN interview of Don Pierino:

    Already happening in Germany. A few months ago, a priest performed some kind of same-sex marriage ceremony in a Catholic church for a politician in Merkel's party (possibly a member of Government). The priest used Amoris Laetitia to justify it and said it was ok because they had a liturgy of the Word rather than a Mass and the ceremony he performed wasn't a sacrament.

    :mad:
    It speaks volumes about the beliefs of the pope and the hierarchy when a blatantly heretical act like this is not publicly denounced.

    It isn't publicly denounced because Amoris Laetitia was couched in language to provide cover for such situations. There's a priest in Northern Italy alternating concelebrating ceremonies in various Protestant churches and his own Catholic church on a monthly basis. It's Mass in the Catholic Church and whatever Sunday service of the Protestant denomination in the Protestant churches. Everyone present is welcome to receive Communion when it's in the Catholic church. It's no secret and has been advertised on the diocesan website. Pope Francis was like something shot from a cannon admonishing Cardinal Sarah for doing his duty yet he does absolutely nothing to correct his friends committing all kinds of abuses.

    How can the leaders of the church let this continue to happen? No, I am not talking about PF. I am disappointed in them all, even Burke. None of them are fighting for truth, just words

    Actually, I think that the Bishop did step in at the last minute and forbid it. It was scheduled to take place on September 30 as reported here on September 16: http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/wesel/maenner-paar-feiert-vermaehlung-in-kirche-aid-1.7085380

    According to this report, the Bishop's decision wasn't well received: https://www.newwaysministry.org/201...couple-marriage-equality-germany-goes-effect/

    I only discovered the report about the wedding having been forbidden by the Bishop when I went looking for the original report.

    We'll see whether these ceremonies are still forbidden next year.

    The bishop said the church has to continue pointing out the difference between same sex relations and heterosexual relations and that there can not be a blessing ceremony for same sex relations.
    The priest did it anyway by changing his blessing words a bit.
    The Protestant church of Germany offers same sex marriage ceremonies in many regions for quite some time.
    Meanwhile, many german Catholic bishops almost stand for Protestant theology. In addition to that the social pressure rises constantly, not to declare something as wrong. The bishops bow to this pressure very often. Also media picked same sex marriage out as an important theme in last october due to the fact that same sex marriage became legal.

    High Praise: Pot Churches Proliferate As States Ease Access To Marijuana

    SAN JOSE, Calif. — Services at the Coachella Valley Church begin and end with the Lord’s Prayer.

    In between, there is the sacrament.

    “Breathe deep and blow harder,” intoned Pastor Grant Atwell after distributing small marijuana joints to 20 worshipers on a recent Sunday afternoon. “Nail the insight down, whether you get it from marijuana or prayer. Consider what in your own life you are thankful for.”

    A middle-aged man wearing a “Jesus Loves You” baseball cap piped up. “Thank you, God, for the weed,” he called out. “I’m thankful for the spirit of cannabis,” a woman echoed from the back. “I am grateful to be alive,” said another young woman, adding that she had recently overdosed — on what, she did not say — for the third time.

    The small room, painted black and gold and decorated with crosses and Rastafarian symbols, filled with pungent smoke after an hour-long service of Christian prayers, self-help slogans and inspirational quotes led by Atwell, a Campbell, Calif., massage therapist and photographer.

    Despite its mainstream Christian trappings, the Coachella Valley Church describes itself as a Rastafarian church, something that’s tough to define. Rastafari is a political and religious movement that originated in Jamaica. Combining elements of Christianity, pan-Africanism and mysticism, the movement has no central authority. Adherents use marijuana in their rituals.

    The church’s leaders say they believe that religious freedom laws give them the right to offer marijuana to visitors without a doctor’s recommendation — and without having to abide by any other regulations. Some courts and local authorities beg to differ.

    As more states ease access to marijuana, churches that offer pot as a sacrament are proliferating, competing with medical marijuana dispensaries and even pot shops in the few states that have legalized recreational weed. While some of them claim Rastafari affiliation, others link themselves to Native American religious traditions.

    ......
    Nationally, such churches have opened in Indiana, where marijuana remains illegal, and Michigan, where medical marijuana is allowed. Even in Colorado, which legalized pot in 2012, the “International Church of Cannabis” is testing the limits of state and city rules on consuming marijuana in public.

    Marijuana churches typically require people to purchase a membership, then give or sell them marijuana and related products. They may ask for ID such as a driver’s license but don’t require a doctor’s recommendation or medical marijuana identification card.

    They’re relying on court rulings that made it possible for some groups, including Native Americans, to use federally banned drugs like peyote in their religious ceremonies. (A coalition of Native American churches has disavowed Oklevueha churches that claim marijuana as their sacrament.)

    ......
    “Marijuana churches have brought religious liberty claims for years, and they have always lost,” Laycock said. “Marijuana is a huge recreational drug, and a religious exception … would make enforcement nearly impossible. So the courts have always found a compelling government interest in marijuana enforcement.”

    Yet, Laycock said, as more states legalize marijuana, courts may regard marijuana churches’ rights more favorably.

    “Legalization changes everything,” he said. “Religious use may not violate state law in some of these states. And if it does, legalizing recreational use but not religious use clearly discriminates against religion.”

    In California, however, the Coachella Valley Church may not be able to offer its potent sacrament for much longer.
