There are 7000 pairs of children’s shoes placed on the US Capitol Building Lawn They mark the 7000 children shot in violence However Where are the baby shoes to mark the loss of ALL aborted babies? Can you even visualize the number?
Quite right HH. A thought which is most dreadful. I wonder of those 7000 how many were MS13 members? People love to include all kinds of members in these gun violence deaths who should never have been there. Maybe they have a special section for them but I think not. Another instance of stand aside and let them do the thinking for us no doubt.
Russia, Russia, Russia.. Russia 'highly likely' behind ex-Russian spy poisoning, May says By Travis Fedschun, Katherine Lam | Fox News 3/12/2108 Prime Minister Theresa May says if Moscow is proven to be behind the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter, the British government will consider it an 'unlawful use of force.' Russia is “highly likely” to be the party responsible for poisoning a former Russian spy and his daughter last week by using a "weapons-grade nerve agent,” British Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday. May revealed to British lawmakers that Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were exposed to a nerve agent called Novichok (Novice). The weapon was developed in the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War. “This attempted murder using a weapons-grade nerve agent in a British town was not just a crime against the Skripals, it was an indiscriminate and reckless act against the United Kingdom, putting the lives of innocent civilians at risk,” May said, according to Sky News. She added: "We will not tolerate such a brazen attempt to murder innocent civilians on our soil." Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, remain in critical condition after a mysterious poisoning. (AP) May said it was an "reckless act" against Britain. She added that the attack was either a direct action by the Russian government or the Kremlin had lost control and allowed the chemical to end up in other peoples’ hands. May said she will give Russia until the end of the day Tuesday to respond to the charges. The Kremlin has rejected suggestions it was behind the poisoning, with officials saying Monday they have not heard any official statements of Russian involvement. Russia called May's comments a "circus show," according to Sky News. "Should there be no credible response, we will conclude that this action amounts to an unlawful use of force by the Russia state against the United Kingdom," the prime minister said. Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee, told BBC News earlier in the day that the attack against Skripal and his daughter looked "awfully like it was state-sponsored attempted murder." He also added that he wouldn’t be surprised if May pointed “the finger at the Kremlin.” EX-RUSSIAN SPY SERGEI SKRIPAL ALLEGEDLY POISONED: WHAT TO KNOW Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, told reporters Skripal worked for British intelligence and was poisoned on British soil, and therefore the incident "has nothing to do with Russia, let alone the Russian leadership."

(AP) Skripal and his adult daughter, Yulia, remain in critical condition following the March 4 nerve agent attack in Salisbury. Both were found comatose on a bench near the city center. The 66-year-old Skripal worked for Russian military intelligence before he was recruited to spy for Britain. He was eventually found out and imprisoned by Russia -- before being freed in a spy swap in 2010. A police detective who also became ill from the nerve agent was still hospitalized in serious condition Monday, but is reported by British officials to be sitting up and talking.

Some officials, analysts and politicians have compared the case to the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who was poisoned with radioactive tea in London in 2006. A British inquiry concluded the killing had "probably" been authorized by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
She'd gotten it off of eBay a couple weeks ago, so if the previous owner had set that up it's possible (my mom wouldn't know how to enable the parental controls). I saw a story about Facebook 'improving' the quality of news the other day, so I'm getting paranoid about things being censored.
Russia, Russia, Russia (again)... Russian exile found dead in London amid ex-spy poisoning probe By Lucia I. Suarez Sang | Fox News 3/13/2018 http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/0...ad-in-london-amid-ex-spy-poisoning-probe.html Nikolai Glushkov was found dead at his home Monday night. (AP) Another Russian exile living in London was found dead late Monday night, just a little more than a week since a former Kremlin spy and his daughter were poisoned. (Ki Price/The Times/Mega) Andrei Borovkov told Russian media outlets on Tuesday that his client, Nikolai Glushkov, was found dead inside his south London home and that he was unaware of the time and circumstances. British media said Glushokov, 68, a businessman, had associated with a prominent critic of the Kremlin, late oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who died in London in 2013. Late Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who died in London in 2013, was associated with Russian exile businessman Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead late Monday in his London home. (AP) Berezovsky was found hanged at his home and an inquest failed to determine whether he had killed himself or died from foul play. Glushokov reportedly told The Guardian he would “never believe” his friend took his own life. Without confirming the man’s name, London’s Metropolitan police said the counterterrorism command unit was leading the investigation into the death “as a precaution because of associations that the man in believed to have had.” Glushokov is at the top of a list of “fugitives from justice” published by the Russian embassy. He is accused of organizing a large-scale fraud scheme, embezzling money from Russian Airlines. Police said there is no evidence to suggest a link to the March 4 poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia. The two Skripals remained hospitalized Tuesday and critical condition. Authorities said the two are believed to have been poisoned by Novichok, a nerve agent believed to be 5 to 8 times more potent than VX or sarin. It is said to have been created by the former Soviet Union during the Cold War. Russia has dismissed accusations of any involvement in the Skripal case as “nonsense,” saying it would only cooperate with the British investigation if it receives samples of the nerve agent believed to have been used.

It is good to know that soon restaurants will be serving up real soylent green at the drive through. I can't emphasize this enough; Pay attention to your diet and figure out a way to eat clean whole foods. The ones raised on a farm and not full of chemicals and preservatives. Learn to grow simple things like greens and avoid anything processed or containing ingredients you can not pronounce or do not know where they originated from. http://www.breitbart.com/london/201...ng-human-flesh-to-overcome-cannibalism-taboo/ Richard Dawkins Suggests Eating Human Flesh to Overcome Cannibalism ‘Taboo’ AP/GETTY by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.13 Mar 20182705 Professional atheist Richard Dawkins continues to push the envelope against a God-deluded world, proposing that cultivating and eating human “meat” might help society overcome its “taboo” against cannibalism. Commenting on an article from the UK’s Independent newspaper, which touts the benefits of lab-grown “clean meat,” Dawkins tweeted earlier this month that perhaps something similar could be done with human flesh, which would assist western culture in shedding yet another irrational remnant of its Judeo-Christian roots. Dawkins said that eating lab-grown human meat would provide an “interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus ‘yuck reaction’ absolutism,” which keeps people from doing things just because they seem morally repugnant. Richard Dawkins ✔@RichardDawkins Tissue culture “clean meat” already in 2018? I’ve long been looking forward to this.https://ind.pn/2F9xAwS What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism? An interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus “yuck reaction” absolutism. 7:15 AM - Mar 3, 2018 Lab-grown 'clean' meat could be on sale by end of 2018 Meat grown in a laboratory could be on restaurant menus by the end of the year, one manufacturer has claimed. In vitro animal products, sometimes referred to as “clean meat”, are made from stem... independent.co.uk 2,386 1,413 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy The Independent article cites Josh Tetrick, the CEO of clean meat manufacturer JUST, who claims that “clean meat”—made from stem cells harvested from living livestock and then grown in a lab—could be on restaurant menus by the end of the year. Familiar meat products such as chicken nuggets, sausage and even foie gras will be manufactured using the process and could be served in restaurants in the US and Asia “before the end of 2018,” Tetrick said. Richard Dawkins suggests taking the procedure a step further and producing human “meat,” which presumably would also come from stem cells. advertisement As an absolute materialist who denies the existence of anything that cannot be measured by science, Dawkins is a moral pragmatist. There is no soul or afterlife in the Dawkins world, so morality is defined by the here and now and the value of human actions is judged solely by their effects. Whether Dawkins’s Brave New World — where every taboo is bulldozed and nothing is forbidden — would make people happier, better, or more fulfilled, is far from self-evident. For now, dinner guests in the Dawkins home would be well advised to choose a seat near the door, in case their host decides to change up the menu.
I think Discernment of , 'Heavenly Voices', has a lot to do with relationship. Husbands and wives, for instance can understand each other even without speaking for instance because they have a deep relationship. I used to watch my mother and father who had been married fro over 50 years and it was clear that they had some form of communication even whilst sitting silently. The error comes often, I think when people make presumptions about hearing in new relationship with God or one that is not a deep relationship at all. If a complete stranger came up to us in the street with a message we would be very careful with this. But often prayer people don't bother with discernment. A lot of this has to do, deep down with pride.
I think you know concerning God talking to us; it is far, far less about God talking and much more about us listening.
Dawkins should be careful. Maybe someone who likes the look of him will take him at his word. Although, for my own part, I suspect he might be a bit stringy. Would need to be slowly stewed for quite a few hours, I would think. In truth, I think Dawkins is just another attention-seeking narcissist. His militant brand of self-declared 'intellectual' atheism has been so comprehensively debunked by better minds than his own, that he can now only attract his former audience by coming out with something so thoroughly repugnant as this. Unfortunately, there will be takers. It will be seen as victimless. As contraception enables people to have sex without reproduction, this technology will enable people to consider themselves cannibals without actually eating human meat. Of course, there will be the inevitable development of a black market...utilising actual human flesh.
And so now he knows the True Origin of the universe. A wonder of a life of courage and ongoing curiosity: Stephen Hawking, Who Examined the Universe and Explained Black Holes, Dies at 76 ...... Stephen William Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on Jan. 8, 1942 — 300 years to the day, he liked to point out, after the death of Galileo, who had begun the study of gravity. His mother, the former Isobel Walker, had gone to Oxford to avoid the bombs that fell nightly during the Blitz of London. His father, Frank Hawking, was a prominent research biologist. The oldest of four children, Stephen was a mediocre student at St. Albans School in London, though his innate brilliance was recognized by some classmates and teachers. Later, at University College, Oxford, he found his studies in mathematics and physics so easy that he rarely consulted a book or took notes. He got by with a thousand hours of work in three years, or one hour a day, he estimated. “Nothing seemed worth making an effort for,” he said. The only subject he found exciting was cosmology because, he said, it dealt with “the big question: Where did the universe come from?” MORE: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...-at-76/ar-BBKbCIm?li=BBnb7Kz#image=BBxYGf5|13
Fr Wolfe in one of his talks on Sensus Fidelium talks of people experiencing so called space aliens. Several recount invoking the Nane of Jesus and they vanished or retreated. It is a great and terrible deception. Straight from the inferno.
etoa, May Stephen Hawking RIP. Personally, I find it interesting that he died today 3/14/18 which is called Pi day/(π day) of all days. Maybe there is a little message in this. Pi is considered by some to be the world's most favorite infinite number. Like God, Pi is something else that man can't fully understand. PS- Happy Pi Day everyone.
Prayers for poor Professor Hawkins. I admire the way he struggled so bravely with Motor Neuron Disease. When he was young the Doctors gave him three years to live and he died right in his seventies. Poor man. He is seeing the truth of things more clearly now than any of us ever will in this poor life. I always think to myself that some of the Greatest Minds that ever lived believed in God and some of the Greatest Minds that ever lived did not. So that intellectual brilliance is no guarantee of finding the ultimate truths, one way or another. My mind goes back to the terrible winter of 1962/62 when I was just seven years old and walking through very heavy snow drifts holding my grandmothers hand going to the Cathedral to mass. She wore a heavy blanket as a shawl , but always, always, always she had the rosary beads in her hands praying. It was as if those rosary beads were welded to her fingers, I think she must have slept with them. My grandmother was barely taught to read and write yet I think she had a greater understanding of the true nature of the Universe than poor, poor Professor Hawkins ever had. May God have mercy on his poor soul. I am unsure where Professor Hawking soul is now, but I am perfectly sure where my poor grandmother's is. What doth it profit a man to take the whole intellectual world by storm if he does not save his own soul?
The more things "change" the more they seem to stay the same! PUTIN FOE'S SPY LINK Russian Nikolai Glushkov found dead in London ‘with strangulation marks’ is linked to killer of Alexander Litvinenko Link between the 'strangled' Kremlin critic and the former KGB agent blamed for the Polonium poisoning raise more questions over death A FORMER KGB agent accused of poisoning Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko was last night linked to a Russian businessman found dead in London. Russian airline mogul Nikolai Glushkov, 68, was found with "strangulation marks" at his home in New Malden by his daughter Natalia on Monday night. It has now emerged Andrey Lugovoy, widely accused of murdering dissident Litvinenko with polonium, was jailed for attempting to spring Glushkov from prison in 2001. At the time, Glushkov was behind bars for defrauding Russian airline company Aeroflot. Lugovoy was sent down for 14 months but had his jail term cut short. There were claims that he may have owed the FSB for getting him out and poisoning Litvinenko's tea with a radioactive cocktail could have been part of his payback. A blue tent obscured the entrance to the terraced house in New Malden, Surrey, as anti-terror officers investigated the "unexplained death" of Glushkov. One neighbour said: "He was a wonderful man, the best neighbour you could ever hope for. "He never said much about his past and never mentioned Putin but he told me how lucky I was to live in a democracy. "Why would anyone want to kill a man who was no harm to anyone? Nothing could prepare us for the knock at the door at 3am and seeing police milling about in protective suits." Glushkov had a heart condition and a recent leg operation but seemed to be recovering well. It comes soon after ex-Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia, 33, were poisoned using a nerve agent developed in Russia. Police are probing who targeted them, with Mrs May pointing the finger at Russia and giving Vladimir Putin a deadline to explain his country's involvement. There is no suggestion the Salisbury poisoning was linked to that of Glushkov, 68, whose home has been taken over by forensics teams investigating his death. Russian newspaper Kommersant, owned by Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, reported there were "traces of strangulation on his neck". Home Secretary Amber Rudd linked his death to that of his close friend - Russian oligarch and Putin critic Boris Berezovsky - who was also found dead in his London home in 2013. Berezovsky's son-in-law Yegor Shuppe today branded Glushkov's death suspicious, telling the Daily Mail: "He did not have a sickness to die from. We helped him get good surgery, I often visited him." One of Berezovsky's closest friends, Alexander Goldfarb, also said it seemed fishy, adding: "This looks very suspicious because of the recent attack on double agent Skripal." His neighbours said Glushkov lived a reclusive life at his home in New Malden, where he lived with his dog - but had a passion for British democracy and champagne. His daughter, who found his body, would visit regularly with her husband but he did not have much contact with the outside world, they claim.

UK expels 23 Russian diplomats after poisoning of ex-spy The measures include the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats, the single biggest expulsion in over 30 years. May said the U.K. would also not send an official government representative to the soccer World Cup in Russia this year. U.K. agrees immediate action to "dismantle espionage network." The penalties mark the most serious deterioration in U.K.-Russia relations in recent years. Holly Ellyatt | @HollyEllyatt 3/14/18 https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/14/uk-expels-23-russian-diplomats-with-after-spy-poisoning.html Sen. Corker says he's glad about UK taking action against Russia 3 Hours Ago | 02:34 U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May announced a series of measures to punish Russia on Wednesday, following a nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury, England. The measures include the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats, the single biggest expulsion in over 30 years. May said the U.K. would also not send an official government representative to the World Cup soccer tournament in Russia this summer. The U.K. "doesn't want to break off all dialogue but this relationship cannot be the same," May said in Parliament, but announced that the U.K. is "suspending all high-level contact between the U.K. and Russia." May's announcements included: U.K. to expel 23 Russian diplomats identified as "undeclared intelligence officers." They have a week to leave, May said. U.K. to "degrade Russian intelligence capability for years to come" and will take immediate action to "dismantle espionage network." U.K. to "harden defenses against hostile state activity in the U.K." Strengthened sanctions against the abuse of human rights. U.K. government to use powers to monitor and track those coming to the U.K. who could threaten the country. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's invitation to the U.K. revoked. The penalties mark the most serious deterioration in U.K.-Russia relations in recent years. They come after Sergei Skripal, a former Russian spy-turned-double agent for the U.K., and his daughter Yulia, were subject to a nerve agent attack on March 4. They remain in a critical condition in hospital. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says poison used on ex-spy "came from Russia" Earlier this week, May said it was "highly likely" that Russia was behind the attack that saw a Russian-developed nerve agent, part of the "Novichok" series of deadly chemical weapons, used against the pair. The Kremlin then failed to give any explanation to the U.K. when given a deadline of midnight Tuesday night. On Wednesday, May was unequivocal, saying Russia was "culpable" for the attempted murder of the double agent. We have disagreements with the people of Russia, May said, and "it is tragic that President (Vladimir) Putin has chosen to act in this way." She added that the U.K. does not stand alone in "confronting Russian aggression," saying that she had spoken with the leaders of the U.S., France and Germany. 'Misleading the international community' Before the penalties were announced, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rubbished the U.K.'s allegations, saying the country was "misleading the international community." Addressing parliament, May said Russia had shown "sarcasm, contempt and defiance" to the accusations. However, May said the U.K. had "no disagreement with the people of Russia" and that it was not in the national interest to "break off all dialogue" with the country. Still, she warned that the U.K. would not "tolerate a threat to British life on U.K. soil" and that it would take other measures if there is more "Russian provocation." The Russian embassy in London issued a statement Wednesday afternoon. It said: "On March 14, Russian Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office where he was informed that 23 diplomats were declared personae non gratae. "We consider this hostile action as totally unacceptable, unjustified and shortsighted. All the responsibility for the deterioration of the Russia-UK relationship lies with the current political leadership of Britain."
So beautifully said Padraig. Thank you for that vivid image of your grandmother. I am certain that she was a living illustration to Our Lady’s words: He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their hearts with His strong right arm/He has pulled down the mighty from their thrones and raised up the lowly...” In the world we get everything upside down and backwards. The result of the Fall no doubt. A great intellect is if no use at all if it is not used for the glory of God. In fact it can be a great stumbling block—like great wealth. I have memories of my own Mother kneeling by the side of her bed saying her beads and praying her novenas and falling asleep while doing it. That leaves a vivid impression in a child’s mind. Poor Steven Hawking. God alone knows his struggles and his ability or inability to understand truth. Thankfully God judges us and not men.
Maybe the Russians are vile murderers. They used to be. But the world as it now is—shadowed with smoke and mirrors how do we know it wasn’t made to look like the Russians? I have too much time on my hands holed up here under two feet of snow. I’ve got to stop reading the alt-news.
AED, I understand what you are saying and I also understand the following from the article I posted about this yesterday, May said it was an "reckless act" against Britain. She added that the attack was either a direct action by the Russian government or the Kremlin had lost control and allowed the chemical to end up in other peoples’ hands. If you read the entire interview that I posted the other day of Megyn Kelly's interview of Vladimir Putin, the attitude Putin conveyed is that unless there is proof that they are directly responsible for these things he is not going to do anything about them. So at a minimum this incident in the UK involving a weapon-grade nerve agent that has been traced back to Russia appears to show that Russia has not destroyed all of their chemical weapons and/or they were irresponsible and let them get into the wrong hands. I find the Kremlin's/Putin's stance on this to be ridiculous. So here is an extreme scenario, if one of Russia's nuclear weapons gets into the wrong hands and it is used to blowup a large portion of the world would they say that they were not responsible for that either? Jesus, I trust in You!
