VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis on Saturday accepted the resignation of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, one of the U.S. Catholic Church’s most prominent figures, who has been at the centre of a widening sexual abuse scandal.

McCarrick, 88, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C., is the first cardinal in living memory to lose his red hat and title. Other cardinals who have been disciplined in sexual abuse scandals kept their membership in the College of Cardinals and their honorific “your eminence”.   Continue reading “U.S. cardinal steps down amid mushrooming sex abuse scandal”

Most people living in the USA have no clue that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a foreign agency. To be more accurate, the IRS is a foreign private corporation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and is the private “army” of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Its main goal is to make sure the American people pay their tax and be good little slaves.   Continue reading “Did You Know the IRS and the Fed are Private Corporations?”

Southern leaders of the Civil War period placed the blame for the outbreak of fighting squarely on Lincoln. They accused the President of acting aggressively towards the South and of deliberately provoking war in order to overthrow the Confederacy. For its part, the Confederacy sought a peaceable accommodation of its legitimate claims to independence, and resorted to measures of self-defence only when threatened by Lincoln’s coercive policy. Thus, Confederate vice president, Alexander H. Stephens, claimed that the war was “inaugurated by Mr. Lincoln.” Stephens readily acknowledged that General Beauregard‘s troops fired the “first gun.” But, he argued, the larger truth is that “in personal or national conflicts, it is not he who strikes the first blow, or fires the first gun that inaugurates or begins the conflict.” Rather, the true aggressor is “the first who renders force necessary.”  Continue reading “Lincoln Provoked the War”

Alternate History – by Uxi

Always fascinated that the Confederacy commits treason and starts the war, putting the tools the Abolishionists needed in Lincoln’s hands.

Lincoln himself seemed to recognize that the Emancipation Proclamation was of dubious legality outside of his war powers (and thus lobbied HARD for the 13th Amendment):   Continue reading “WI Confederates don’t attack Fort Sumter”

The Great Recession

Two of the original FAANG stocks that carried the US stock market higher throughout the Fed’s fake recovery from the Great Recession have revealed in the past week how quickly overpriced, bubblicious stocks can turn on investors and bring a rising index down.

Facebook, which put the “F” in FAANG, showed it knows the foulest meaning of an “F” when its second-quarter report card got graded. Overnight, Facebook lost $150 billion in value, which was a drop of over 20%, putting the stock, at opening, in its own bear market. By the end of the today’s actual trading (Thursday) the stock had settle at down $119 billion (-19%), which still set a record as the worst corporate crash in the history of the US stock market. Pronounced one analyst of Facebook like a referee, “Bears win this quarter.”   Continue reading “Big Stocks Rock NASDAQ as Two FAANGs Bite the Dust”

Pursuant to yesterday’s discussion regarding farm subsidies, I decided to do a little digging to find out exactly where our farm subsidies are going so we might add some verifiable fact to the discussion rather than relying on guesswork, or whatever faulty impressions we’re left with by Zionist media outlets.

In 2016, corn subsidies went to 534,845 farmers, soybean subsidies went to 348,637 farmers, and wheat subsidies went to 425, 637 farmers. Sorghum subsidies went to 153,754 farmers, oat subsidies went to 127,165 farmers, and subsidies for cotton, rice, canola, and livestock went to farmers numbering in the tens of thousands each. Others are too small to be worth mentioning here, but the point is that the subsidies were divided up between many more than a million different farmers, and since the money is divided between so many, we’re obviously not talking about large, corporate-owned farms.    Continue reading “Farm Aid Facts”
