Trump BLASTS the Pope With Blunt Statement No One Else Has the Guts to Say

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has no problem disagreeing with anyone — even if it’s the pope.

In an interview on CNN’s “New Day” Thursday, Trump responded in his typical blunt fashion to Pope Francis’ statements about climate change.

The pope said in a speech at the White House Wednesday that climate change was a “problem that can not be left to a future generation,” according to CNN.

Trump saw things differently.

“Look, it’s weather. We have bad floods. I can’t watch the evening news anymore. Every time you turn on the evening news, they show there’s a big rain storm, there’s a tornado, there’s this,” he said in the interview.

“I mean, you can’t watch the news anymore,” he added. “It’s weather, and it’s been that way for so long.”

Trump maintained that America shouldn’t “imperil the companies within our country” with environmental mandates and regulations that could “imperil jobs … actually the middle class, and actually the lower classes are going to be the people with no money.”

“I believe in clean air, immaculate air. I believe in clean water, all of those things, but I don’t think we can destroy our country,” Trump said.

“If America does have the problem of climate change … it’s going to be of the nuclear form because we have incompetent politicians watching over us when it comes to nuclear weapons. That’s our big problem,” he added.

Once again, Trump nailed it. He didn’t waste a lot of time trying to debate the issue and moved on to a topic more worthy of discussion — nuclear weapons in the hands of incompetent politicians.

You’ve got to hand it to Trump. He’s got what it takes to stand up to anyone that disagrees with him and there’s no denying that we need more politicians like that in Washington.

LEVIN: POPE FRANCIS AND OBAMA ‘SPEAK DOWN TO US’

Breitbart
September 26, 2015

Talk radio host Mark Levin argued that President Obama and Pope Francis I “speak down to us about so many things” on Thursday.

Levin stated, “We have a president and a pope who speak down to us about so many things. Whether it’s immigration, whether it’s poverty, frankly, they do not appreciate the American people. They do not appreciate American history, the American heritage, what the people of this nation have done for themselves, and the rest of the world. It’s easy for a man like Barack Obama, who’s contributed zero to American liberty to go off on his ideological agenda and force his will on the American people because of the failure of the opposition party and the courts to stop him. It’s easy for a pope to come here from Italy, from the Vatican, and quite frankly, lecture us in many respects, and talk down to us in many respects about immigration. We, the most tolerant, giving people on the face of the earth, who sent our own men and women all over the world to fight wars for liberty.”

He added, “what Barack Obama says about we the people, what the pope has said about we the people, doesn’t understand we the people. We are a unique, crucially important people in world history. And we are different. I don’t mean by DNA. I don’t mean by looks. I mean we are different, in terms of our mindset, our psychology, which is built around liberty.”

Secrets Of The Elite: Why Forbes’s Rich List Doesn’t Include The Wealthiest Families On The Planet

True Activist
September 20, 2015

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.“

This is a House of Rothschilds maxim, widely attributed to banking tycoon Mayer Amschel Rothschild in 1838 and said to be a founding principle for the highly corrupt banking and political system we have today.  Along with the Rockefellers, the Rothschild dynasty is estimated to be worth well over a trillion dollars. How are these powerful families linked to the ongoing crisis of global wealth inequality, why are so many people unaware of their existence, and why doesn’t Forbes ever mention them in their annual list of the world’s wealthiest people?

Global wealth inequality is out of control, and it’s no accident

In January 2014, Oxfam announced that the richest 85 people on the planet share a combined wealth of $110 trillion. The figure was based on Forbes’s rich list 2013, and it equates to 65 times the total wealth of the entire bottom half (3.5 billion) of the world’s population. While some deluded commentators welcomed this as “fantastic news,” the rest of us were disgusted. Winnie Byanyima, Oxfam’s executive director, said at the time: “It is staggering that in the 21st Century, half of the world’s population own no more than a tiny elite whose numbers could all fit comfortably on a double-decker bus.”

Two months later, following Oxfam’s calculation and having published the new 2014 rich list, Forbes journalist Kasia Morena did some fact-checking. She found that the number of billionaires owning the same as the poorest 3.5 billion had dropped from 85 to 67: which demonstrates an enormous widening of the global inequality gap in just one year.

Fast-forward to 2015, and another Oxfam investigation. The anti-poverty charity warned in January that if nothing is done to tackle global wealth inequality- by forcing corporations to pay their taxes and closing off-shore tax havens, for example- the richest 1% will own more than everybody else in the world combined by 2016. In a paper called Wealth: Having it all and wanting more, Oxfam outlined how the richest 1 percent have seen their share of global wealth increase from 44% in 2009 to 48% in 2014, and will likely surpass 50% in 2016. Winnie Byanyima again warned that the explosion in inequality is holding back the fight against global poverty at a time when one in nine people do not have enough to eat, and more than a billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day.

Holy See flag to be raised outside UN headquarters for Pope Francis' arrival Sept. 25

Fox News
September 21, 2015

Matheny's Note: It's certainly clear to see that the United Nations is under command of the Pope. You can also see that the flag of so-called Palestine is being raised with it. They are in league together to destroy Israel.... Just read Psalm 83.

UNITED NATIONS –  A United Nations official confirms that the flag of the Holy See will be raised for the first time outside U.N headquarters the morning of Pope Francis' first visit.

It is a turnaround for the Vatican, whose U.N. ambassador has said it had "no intention" of raising the flag before the pope arrives Sept. 25.

The General Assembly last week overwhelmingly approved a Palestinian proposal to raise its flag and that of the Holy See as the U.N.'s two non-member observer states.

The Palestinians have announced a ceremony for their flag-raising Sept. 30 during the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders. But the Holy See flag is set to be raised quietly.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about the event.

The Pentagon Is Preparing New War Plans For A Baltic Battle Against Russia

For the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. Department of Defense is reviewing and updating its contingency plans for armed conflict with Russia.

The Pentagon generates contingency plans continuously, planning for every possible scenario — anything from armed confrontation with North Korea tozombie attacks. But those plans are also ranked and worked on according to priority and probability. After 1991, military plans to deal with Russian aggression fell off the Pentagon’s radar. They sat on the shelf, gathering dust as Russia became increasingly integrated into the West and came to be seen as a potential partner on a range of issues. Now, according to several current and former officials in the State and Defense departments, the Pentagon is dusting off those plans and re-evaluating them, updating them to reflect a new, post-Crimea-annexation geopolitical reality in which Russia is no longer a potential partner, but a potential threat.

Obama Plots Huge Boost to UN Military Amid Child-rape Scandals

The New American
September 6, 2015

As the United Nations struggles to contain themushrooming child-rape scandals engulfing its disgraced ”peacekeeping” troops, the Obama administration and its allies, including the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, are plotting a major boost for the UN's military. The plan to supersize and further empower the global body's scandal-plagued armed forces, years in the making, is set to be unveiled at a global summit this month co-convened by Obama on the sidelines of the UN's 70th annual general debate. The White House has apparently already compiled a list of dozens of foreign governments and dictatorships that plan to support its controversial agenda. Whether the GOP-controlled Congress will also go along with it remains to be seen.    

Top Obama administration officials have been reaching out to foreign governments for at least a year on the initiative. On the sidelines of last year's UN General Assembly meeting, Vice President Joe Biden and UN boss Ban Ki Moon hosted a “peacekeeping” summit aimed at building up more global support for expanding the UN's military capabilities. “Civil conflicts coupled with terrorism, organized crime and health crises such as Ebola are threatening millions of people,” Ban told attendees in justifying the demands, suggesting that the UN now imagines itself to be a global law-enforcement and anti-terrorism outfit as well. The UN chief also called for better coordination between UN forces and the militaries of emerging regional regimes such as the European Union and the African Union.

Pope calls on Catholics to shelter Europe's migrants

USA Today
September 6, 2015

BERLIN — Pope Francis called on religious communities and Catholic parishes across Europe on Sunday to take on the crush of migrants that have been pouring into the continent recently.

He said the Vatican will shelter two families who are "fleeing death."

Francis cited Mother Teresa, the European-born nun who cared for the poorest in India, in making his appeal. "Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees who are fleeing death by war and by hunger, and who are on a path toward a hope for life, the Gospel calls us to be neighbors to the smallest and most abandoned, to give them concrete hope," Francis said, adding that it's not enough to say, "Have courage, hang in there."

The pope’s plea comes as thousands more refugees from war-torn countries such as Syria and Afghanistan were expected to arrive in Austria and Germany on Sunday. The migrants were traveling from Hungary where they had been stranded for days as European leaders debate how to best handle the surge. 

On Saturday, about 7,000 people crossed the border on foot from Hungary to Austria. A similar amount arrived into Munich's central train station by Saturday evening.

"I appeal to the parishes, the religious communities, the monasteries and sanctuaries of all Europe to ... take in one family of refugees," Pope Francis said after his Sunday address in the Vatican, according to Reuters.

There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and more than 12,000 in Germany, where many of the Syrians fleeing civil war and people trying to escape poverty and hardship in other countries say they want to end up.

The pope’s call was another in a series of recent public interventions by the Vatican to end conflicts and reconcile differences between countries, from Mideast peace meetings to brokering talks between the U.S. and Cuba.
