Energy Insider Leaks, “The Elite Are In a Panic!” Buying Up Supplies in a Rush! Prepare Now or Never!

<p><img alt="" class="" height="343" src="http://www.offthegridnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/power-grid-drill-400x300.jpg" width="457" /></p> <p>Huge Red Alert! An alternative energy insider is causing ripple effects across the internet due to the nature of information he leaked to the news source <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2nQYGjfe9I_tgWpqgJorUg" rel="nofollow">SGTreports</a>. In the report the insider who goes by Jay—an alias, due to the nature of the discussion—informs us that the elite are in a state of panic and buying up all of his product, leaving him to believe we are in BIG trouble! This 20 minute video will literally send chills down your spine!! Please, Please don’t miss this…</p> <p> </p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z-VtwF9d4n0?wmode=transparent" width="496" height="287" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p>“The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations.</p> <p>“The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It can result in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.”<a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a></p> <p>I’d concur that many Americans are living in the “normalcy bias”. Sadly, far too many have managed to convince themselves that everything is life as usual. Yet the elite are in a state of panic, our economy is about to collapse and now an energy insider is stating they might take the grid out. Things are not what they seem and now is not the time for “normalcy bias.”</p> <p>That said, are their any signs showing us that the economy will collapse and that they might take out the grid? Absolutely! Speaking of just the grid alone lets consider this. Back in 2013 the US Government conducted a power grid down drill preparing for the possibility of an EMP. Furthermore, everyone from Janet Napolitano, to the DHS, to James Woolsey have all discussed the possibility of an electrical grid attack via a cyber attack.</p> <p>Not to mention the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Commission in their, NERC PowerPoint presentation, stated that one of the possible outcomes of an attack will be a “prolonged blackout…”</p> <p>Add to that the fact that the congress passed the SHIELD Act in 2014, the first serious piece of legislation that attempts to address the vulnerabilities of the US power grid. As previously reported by Off The Grid News, a recent American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) report gave the power grid a “D+” when grading various pieces of infrastructure and public services in the United States.</p> <p><strong>What about the economy?</strong> I think we all agree it’s not a matter of “if” it will happen, but when! The economy is literally breaking as I write this. Additionally numerous leading economists have already come out and expressed their fears about the economy collapsing either this year or early next year, but don’t take my word for it! Here are quotes from the experts themselves:</p> <p>“I look at what is transpiring in the crude oil market as yet another engineered or financial trickery on the part of the financial elites. . . . What this breakdown in the crude oil price is going to spawn another financial crisis.  It will be tied to the junk debt that has been issued to finance the shale oil plays in North America.  It is reported to be in the area of half a trillion dollars worth of junk debt that is held largely on the books of large financial institutions in the western world.  When these bonds start to fail, they will jeopardize the future of these financial institutions.  I do believe that will be the signal for the Fed to come riding to the rescue with QE4.  I also think QE4 is likely going to be accompanied by bank bail-ins because we all know all western world countries have adopted bail-in legislation in their most recent budgets.  The financial elites are engineering the excuse for their next round of money printing . . .  and they will be confiscating money out of savings accounts and pension accounts.  That’s what I think is coming in the very near future.” <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://usawatchdog.com/oil-derivatives-explode-in-early-2015-rob-kirby/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rob Kirby</a></p> <p>“What does the word confidence mean? Break it down. In this case confidence = con men and con game. That’s all it is. So people will lose confidence in the con men because they have already shown their cards. It’s a Ponzi scheme. So the con game is running out and they don’t have any more cards to play.</p> <p>What are they going to do? They can’t raise interest rates. We saw what happened in the beginning of December when the equity markets started to unravel. So it will be a loss of confidence in the con game and the con game is soon coming to an end. That is when you are going to see panic on Wall Street and around the world.” <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://kingworldnews.com/gerald-celente-will-trigger-panic-wall-street-around-world-2015/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gerald Celente</a></p> <p>“At any time the Western house of cards could collapse. It (the financial system) is a house of cards. There are no economic fundamentals that support stock prices — the Dow Jones. There are no economic fundamentals that support the strong dollar…” <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://kingworldnews.com/paul-craig-roberts-stunning-2015-predictions-time-west-can-collapse/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Paul Craig Roberts</a></p> <p>“They are trying to make the stock market go up and drag the economy along with it. It’s not going to work. There’s going to be a big accident. When people realize that it’s all a charade, the dollar will tank, the stock market will tank, and hopefully bond markets will tank. Gold will rally in that period of time because it’s done what it’s done because people have assumed complete infallibility on the part of the central bankers.” <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://kingworldnews.com/fleckenstein-warns-2015-year-fantasy-dies/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bill Fleckenstein</a></p> <p>By <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://b4in.info/dijg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lisa Haven</a></p> <div style="display: block !important; margin:0 !important; padding: 0 !important" id="wpsclp_locker_post_end_element"></div> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

The State Of Arkansas Cuts Off All Funding For Planned Parenthood, Obama Tells Them You Have To Fund Planned Parenthood,...

Arkansas is joining numerous other states in defunding and — in some cases — putting Planned Parenthood under criminal investigation, such as Florida, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Alabama, and Texas. The Federal government is saying that the states must not defund Planned Planned Parenthood but these states are sending out a message: we will not obey! I did a whole video on this:</p> <p><iframe width="660" height="440" src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1033&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>According to <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/14/obama-administration-threatens-states-attempting-to-defund-planned-parenthood/" target="_blank">one report:</a></p> <blockquote> <p>The Obama administration is threatening states attempting to defund Planned Parenthood–those trying to stop the flow of their Medicaid funds to the abortion provider–with potential violation of federal law and, ultimately, the cutting off of Medicaid funds to those states.</p> <p>Following the release of investigative videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s practice of harvesting the body parts of aborted babies for potential sale to biomedical companies, Alabama, Louisiana, and New Hampshire have canceled their Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood, as CNSNews.com reports.</p> <p>Other states are in the process of considering similar action.</p> <p>In Wisconsin, for example, state Rep. André Jacque (R) is attempting to address all the layers of government funding of Planned Parenthood that are under control of his state in several pieces of legislation. While Gov. Scott Walker and the state legislature have redirected about $1 million annually from Planned Parenthood to a Women’s Health Block Grant, the abortion giant’s affiliate in Wisconsin still receives between $15 and $16 million in taxpayer money annually, mainly through Medicaid and Title X “family planning” funding.</p> <p>The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has stepped in, however, reports The Wall Street Journal, to warn these states that they may be in violation of federal law because, by blocking Planned Parenthood’s reception of Medicaid funds, it says women could lose access to essential preventive care, such as cancer prevention screenings.</p> <p>In an HHS guidance document from 2011, the Obama administration said states are not allowed to exclude providers from Medicaid solely on the basis of the types of services they offer.</p> <p>According to the WSJ report, should the states continue to block Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, they can request a hearing to settle the matter; however, should the conflict continue, CMS could cut Medicaid funds to the state.</p> <p>Spokesmen for both Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said their states are not in violation of federal law since their Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood give either party the right to cancel it at will with a notice period: 30 days for Louisiana and 15 days for Alabama.</p> <p>The HHS guidance, however, also says that states can exclude providers from Medicaid funding if their engagement in certain criminal acts is proven, a provision that many believe is the case with the videos of Planned Parenthood’s top medical personnel discussing the sale of aborted baby organs and body parts.</p> <p>“This really hasn’t been tried before,” said Casey Mattox, senior legal counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom. “Planned Parenthood has contracts with states that can be terminated for cause. In other situations the contracts were not terminated for cause.”</p> <p>The Obama administration threatened to cut off Medicaid funding several years ago from Texas, when former Gov. Rick Perry redirected federal Title X funds to family planning centers in his state that are not affiliated with Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. When Perry prohibited funding for low-income women’s health centers to go to Planned Parenthood clinics, the Obama administration argued the action was a violation of federal law and threatened to cut off Medicaid funding. Undaunted, Perry decided to fund the low-income women’s health program completely with his state’s own money.</p> <p>In the wake of the release of the investigative videos by the Center for Medical Progress, White House press secretary Josh Earnest deferred to Planned Parenthood, stating the organization says it follows the highest ethical guidelines on medical research.</p> <p>President Obama is a known champion of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. In April of 2013, he was the first sitting president to deliver an address to Planned Parenthood, which was founded by eugenicist and racist Margaret Sanger. He promised to stand with the organization against what he described as efforts to “turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950’s than the 21st Century.”</p> <p>After praising the organization for its 100-year existence, Obama told Planned Parenthood, “God bless you.”</p> <p>Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards has enjoyed a close relationship with the White House from the start of Obama’s presidency. According to a report at CNSNews.com, an online record of visitors shows that Richards has visited the White House 39 times since Obama took office, beginning January 20, 2009–the day he was inaugurated.</p> <p>Since then, Richards has met with Obama alone at least three times and First Lady Michelle Obama at least twice. Additionally, she met with the President and his wife together another four times. She also attended the President’s second inaugural on January 20, 2013.</p> <p>Richards met with David Plouffe, former senior adviser to the president, four times and current senior adviser Valerie Jarrett five times. She has also met with many members of the Obama administration, including former White House Chief of Staff William Daley, Office of Management and Budget director Shaun Donovan, and current Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.</p> </blockquote> <p>We have to prepare our minds and intellect for this spiritual war that we are in. This is why I made a 2-disk DVD series on teaching the warring spirit of the Christian Faith.</p> <p>For too long Christianity has been watered down in our modern day as a pacifist faith with no inclination of fighting evil. But is the Church here to be weak and useless? This shocking and riveting two disk DVD set lecture series, passionately shows how Christianity is not here to be feeble, but for warfare, to be militant against tyranny and the forces of darkness.</p> <p>You will not be dissatisfied after watching this lecture, and Bible studies will forevermore never be the same again.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.ffmu.biz/christian-militancy-by-theodore-shoebat/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO GET OUR 2-DISK DVD SERIES ON CHRISTIAN MILITANCY AND CHRISTIAN WARFARE AND JOIN THE FIGHT TODAY!</a><br /></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/theodore.shoebat?fref=ts" target="_blank">FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK</a><br /></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/theodoreshoebat" target="_blank">FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER</a></strong></p> </div> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

In 1963, a small mosque was built in its place. Erdoğan, who was prime minister at the time, visited the mosque in 2010 and ordered its restoration, based on a model of a mosque in <em>Üsküdar</em>, İstanbul.</p> <p>During the inauguration, Erdogan released pigeons and grouses, one of which landed on his head. The pigeon instantly departed while the grouse was persistent and refused to leave wanting to nest on Erdogan’s head. It only flew away later after his bodyguards had to intervene.</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://medyarc.todayszaman.com//todayszaman/2015/08/14/226423.png" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="http://medyarc.todayszaman.com//todayszaman/2015/08/14/226424.png" /></p> <p>While in Islam seeing birds hovering on one’s head is viewed as a good sign, Joseph in the Bible saw it as bad news when:</p> <blockquote> <p>“the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head. In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.” So Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the birds will eat your flesh from you</span>.”</p> </blockquote> <p>While the Bible sees doves and pigeons as good signs, other birds are viewed as a sign of a curse and symbolic of something evil. Mark connects birds with “<a href="http://www.cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Library.topic/ID/20/Satan.htm">Satan</a>” (<a href="http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/bible.show/sVerseID/24328/eVerseID/24328" name="2432824328">Mark 4:4</a>, 15), and Luke links them to “the devil” (<a href="http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/bible.show/sVerseID/25251/eVerseID/25251" name="2525125251">Luke 8:5</a>, 12).

He stated:</p> <blockquote> <p class="p1">Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values… Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan.</p> <p class="p1"></p> </blockquote> <p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/HSX2ALtIejw?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'></iframe></span></p> <p class="p2">What we need to realize is that in Russia, Christendom is reviving and continuing, and this is being illustrated in the actions of Putin, his government, the Russian people and the Russian Orthodox Church. Because of Christian influence in Russia, laws against homosexuality are being enforced, while Christian values are being treated with contempt. The only way for this to change is for the people to change; to change their hearts, to conquer themselves and overthrow the mental tyranny that has so fettered the people, with degradation, pornography, and moral indifferentism. Once the people conquer themselves, then they will conquer the nation. For <em>he who rules his spirit,</em> is better <em>than he who captures a city. </em>(Proverbs 16:32)</p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">D</span><span class="s2">ue to the amount of confusion that has been caused by many heresies regarding government, I will make a very simple attempt to highlight what the standards of God are regarding a ruler. Christians need to be aware of this since this is the cause of division every time at elections. Many people are infected with an idea that has no base in Holy Scripture in either word or concept, called: “Separation of Church and State”. Christians of all people should know better but have refused to study the mind of God on the matter and have gone along with cultural norms rather than seeking to bring culture in line with the Truth of the Word of God. In short, if there was a principle to summarise what the expectations of a ruler or government leader, it is simply: “Righteous Rule”. Let us consider the following Scriptures:</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Wicked people have no right to be in government and are condemned by God</b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">God states clearly in His Word that wicked rulers and wicked laws that go against His standards of morality and righteousness have no place with Him.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">“<i>Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood…And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off</i>.” (Psalm 94:20, 21, 23)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">We can see clearly that a question is given with an obvious answer. Not only this, we also see that wicked rulers and wicked people in authority harm the righteous and shed innocent blood. The result will be that God shall cut them off altogether because of their wickedness.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A ruler must be just, ruling in the fear of God</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me,</i> <b><i>He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.</i></b> <i>And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.”</i> (II Samuel 23:1-4)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Please note that the whole Trinity is involved in addressing King David in his last words to his son, Solomon. (The Spirit of the LORD, The God of Israel, The Rock of Israel). Since that is the case, then take heed! The decree is that the one who is going to rule over men “must be just ruling in the fear of God”. This is not optional. In addition, there is a blessing that comes out of it. That ruler will be like light in the morning when the sun rises and also as tender grass that comes out of the earth after the rain. A righteous ruler is a blessing to all!</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Government leaders must fear God, be men of truth and hate covetousness.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,</i> <b><i>such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness;</i></b> <i>and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:</i>” (Exodus 18:21)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">This is something that is most needed today. Jethro’s advice to Moses is as sound now as it was then.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Government leaders must execute wrath/vengeance on the evil-doers and thus use the sword correctly against the wicked. They must also reward the good and collect appropriate taxes.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.</i>” (II Samuel 23:6, 7)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”</i> (Romans 13:1-7)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">In continuation with the last words of King David commissioned to him by the Holy Trinity, it states how the wicked are to be dealt with, namely with force. The wicked are referred to as “sons of Belial”, that is they are children of Satan, and they like thorns that must be thrust away. Since they do not abide by normal means of righteousness, then as thorns cannot merely be picked with the hands, so too must the wicked be dealt with. How? The same passage also notes that the one who is going to deal with the wicked, namely the ruler, must be ARMED! Notice it states: “fenced with iron and the staff of a spear” and also “they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place”. God’s ruler is to show no mercy with wicked people and is to treat them with full force and destroy them from the earth.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">St. Paul also continues in that same thought process under inspiration from the Holy Ghost and refers to this person as a minister of God to “thee for good”. Although godless Nero was ruling Rome at the time, it is evident that St. Paul was definitely not referring to Nero or any other godless ruler, else the Christians would have submitted without a fight. Nevertheless, in the wisdom of the Holy Ghost, he talks about the ruler as a “minister of God to thee for good”. This particular ruler must do the following: a) be a terror to evil works b) Bear not the sword in vain c) execute wrath upon him that doeth evil d) accept appropriate custom/tribute (taxation). Notice that 3 out of 4 of the qualities have to do with executing wrath and even use of the sword against the wicked. It must not be done in vain or in the wrong manner! Heads of the wicked are meant to roll!</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">5)</span> <span class="s1"><b>Government leaders are to defend the helpless, the poor, the fatherless, the afflicted and the needy and to rid the land of wicked people.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”</i> (Psalm 82:3, 4)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Clearly, the righteous ruler is meant to defend the helpless and to rid the land from the wicked. King David understood this principle very well and history attests to his righteous rule.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Government leaders are to ensure that God’s people may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.</b></span></p> <p class="p6"><span class="s2"><i>“For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”</i> (I Timothy 2:2)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Clearly, the purpose for rulers is to ensure godliness and peaceable life is the order of the day. Hence the need to pray for such. In order for this to happen, a ruler must be righteous themselves! Thus it would be appropriate to pray for righteous rule but more importantly, for God’s people make themselves worthy of having such a ruler, since God gives people the rulers they deserve.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>In short, government leaders must be righteous men and not have any wicked men serving under them nor have deceitful, lying men under his charge. He also must be a faithful ruler that does justice for the poor. If he fails to do this, the nation suffers and the people suffer. An unrighteous ruler will also not last forever either.</b></span></p> <p class="p6"><span class="s2"><i>“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.”</i> (Proverbs 29:2, 4, 12, 14)</span></p> <p class="p6"><span class="s2"><i>“Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.”</i> (II Chronicles 19:7)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Notice that Solomon makes it clear that righteous rulers bring joy and wicked rulers bring grief. In addition, a wicked ruler that accepts bribes or is avaricious will only bring destruction to the land and if such a ruler listens to lies or untruths, then you can only expect wicked servants. Hence, the Righteous King Jehoshaphat advises the judges to both fear the Lord and notes that with God, there is no iniquity nor respect of persons nor taking of gifts. Thus the judges who fear God are advised to do likewise.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A nation that has righteousness as its ruler and foundation is exalted but if it is known for sin, it will be a reproach to anyone.</b></span></p> <p class="p6"><span class="s2">“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A government ruler is to be just and equal in dealings with his subjects/servants, always bearing in mind that God will deal with him impartially too. If he is a tyrant, then he best beware of how God will deal with him, for God is no respecter of persons</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.</i>” (Ephesians 6:9)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.” (Colossians 4:1)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Whilst St. Paul is addressing masters who owned slaves in his day, the principle is still the same even for a government ruler at a greater level.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A government ruler is meant to be a punisher of evil and rewarder of good and thus bring honour upon himself by fear of God and love of the brotherhood (the Church). Christians can submit to such a ruler and thus silence the foolish by well-doing rather than evil behaviour.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.”</i> (I Peter 2:13-17)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A government ruler ought to bear in mind that Christ is returning as Judge and also will be reigning in Jerusalem on the throne of David forever, not only for the Millennial Period, but also forever when Christ our God makes a new heavens and new earth. Since the Church will be reigning with Christ our God, this ought to be a sobering matter for a ruler to get some good practice if he wishes to partake in ruling with Christ.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?</i>” (I Corinthians 6:2)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.”</i> (I Kings 2:45)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.</i>” (Isaiah 9:6, 7)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”</i> (Jude 1:14, 15)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”</i> (Apocalypse/Revelation 5:10)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”</i> (Apocalypse/Revelation 20:4)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>If there are godless people ruling God’s people, then it is a rebuke from God, not his perfect will. God’s people should be praying that God will not let wicked rulers be in charge or else the wicked will mock God when this happens, since the heritage that God has given will suffer reproach.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?”</i> (Joel 2:17)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Seeking God’s Kingdom and righteousness in all our doings should be a motivational factor for a godly government ruler.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Serving God and being righteous in rulership should be the motivational factor for anyone who is in a position of authority to administer justice. Should encourage people to fear God and not to bring His wrath upon themselves because of wickedness.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.”</i> (II Chronicles 19:9, 10)</span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">In Righteous King Jehoshaphat’s advice, he urges the judges or rulers of the people to have “fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.” That is they must fear God utmost and have no diversion of purpose in the heart of their work. In addition, they are encouraged to urge people to fear the LORD and not bring the wrath of God upon themselves. If only our rulers could take this sort of advice today! Imagine how different things could be!</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>The motivation of any man, and even that of the ruler should be to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2"><i>“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”</i> (Micah 6:8)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>A just ruler will execute true judgment and have compassion on the fatherless and the widow, and thus will not oppress them.</b></span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">“<i>Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”</i> (Zechariah 7:9, 10)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">This commandment given by Zechariah the Prophet to the priests, who were also rulers over the people, is of importance. The expectation of God is justice and impartiality. In addition, there is meant to be true compassion and not imagining evil against everyone. Only a just ruler can make this possible under the guidance of God.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>CONCLUSION:</b></span> <span class="s2">Before you vote anyone into office for government, do any of your candidates fit any of these Scriptural principles? If your candidate is a godless person that has no reverence for the Holy Scriptures or Christ our God nor for His Law and standards, then you are duty bound to not vote for such an individual. If your candidate abides by all the above Scriptural mentioned principles, then you can vote for such a person. May you also consider the commonly quoted II Chronicles 7:14 carefully, which calls for God’s people to humble themselves before praying as well as seeking God’s face and turning from any wicked ways, only then will God hear from heaven and allow healing to come upon the land.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2"><i>“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”</i> (II Chronicles 7:14)</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">“Separation of church and state” is a lie from the Masons and has no place in Holy Scripture, as clearly shown. God wants righteous rulers but God’s people have not listened to their own peril. May this be a wake-up call before God’s people totally lose all freedoms. God bless.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Yours in Christ,</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Thomas King</span></p> </div> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

Ferguson Protester Faces Four Years in Jail Over Charges of Kicking SUV

She was also charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace, according to Bob McCulloch, the prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County, who oversaw the grand jury inquiry into Brown’s death. Ferrell was released on a $10,000 bond on Wednesday.</p> <p>Ferrell’s wife, Alexis Templeton, was charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching the driver through her vehicle’s window, and misdemeanor charges similar to Ferrell’s for alleged trespass and disturbing the peace. Templeton, 21, has also been released.</p> <p>The charges prompted a furious reaction among the wider Black Lives Matter protest movement. Brittany Packnett, an activist who sat on Barack Obama’s White House task force on police reform, said several demonstrators were struck by the vehicle.</p> <p>“Feet don’t cause $5K worth of damage to cars,” Packnett said on Twitter. “McCulloch meant ‘drive over,’ not past. They were almost hit.”</p> <p>Soon after being released on Wednesday Templeton was defiant. “I’m not worried & y’all shouldn’t be either,” she said on Twitter. “We gon' get free whether they like it or not!” She urged St Louis county police department to “quit lying.”</p> <p>The two women are the co-founders of Millennial Activists United, an activist group that grew out of the demonstrations in Ferguson last summer. They married in December 2014 after months of protesting against the deaths of Brown and other people killed by police.</p> <p>They were arrested the day after the rush-hour highway shutdown, which took place on a “Moral Monday” of civil disobedience, when they went to inquire about dozens of other people arrested during the protest action. The couple’s attorney, Aaron Banks, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p> <p>In a statement McCulloch alleged: “The charges stem from the efforts of the defendants to block traffic on Interstate 70. Templeton is accused of punching the victim as our victim attempted to drive past the defendant. The victim suffered an eye injury as a result.

Why Police Killings of Latinos Spark Less Outrage than When Victims are Black

<div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h2>Why Police Killings of Latinos Spark Less Outrage than When Victims are Black</h2> <span>Why Police Killings of Latinos Spark Less Outrage than When Victims are Black</span> <div> <div>This article originally appeared on <span>Al Jazeera</span></div> </div> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/field/image/src.adapt_.960.high_.latino_victims_lead-photo.1439471848560.jpg?itok=IEKMJJUw" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/styles/slide_narrow/public/field/image/src.adapt_.960.high_.latino_victims_lead-photo.1439471848560.jpg?itok=IEKMJJUw" /></a> <div> <p>ANAHEIM, California — On July 21, 2012, police here killed Manuel Angel Diaz, an unarmed, 25-year-old man, when he ran away as officers approached. The next day, 21-year-old Joel Acevedo was killed by police after he allegedly fired shots at them.</p> <p>Days of protests followed as hundreds took to the streets. Most were peaceful but rocks were thrown, store windows broken and cars vandalized. Police fired rubber bullets into the crowd.</p> <p>The Anaheim riots received some national attention (pages A-11 and A-13 of The New York Times) but never reached the recent heights of similar events in Ferguson, Baltimore or Staten Island. Those protests sparked demonstrations in cities across the country and were covered around the clock by news networks, reviving the national dialogue over race relations.</p> <p>Diaz and Acevedo are not household names. Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner are.</p> <p>The obvious distinction: Diaz and Acevedo are Latinos, while the other victims of recent police incidents were African American.</p> <p>The starkly different response to police shootings of minorities and deaths of minorities in police custody raises a question that is being asked more and more by activists and experts every day: Don’t brown lives matter, too?</p> <p>But the reasons why the deaths of Latinos have not sparked the same national outrage as those of blacks are tangled in a complex web of history, debate over immigration and lack of government statistics on the number of brown lives lost at the hands of police.</p> <p>“Police violence on African Americans hits a deeper resonant note because of our history,” said Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit that tracks hate crimes. “The oppression of African Americans goes right at the core of our history.”</p> <p>The legacy of slavery and segregation fueled the civil rights movement and created a well-oiled organizing machine from national advocacy groups to black churches that continue to fight for the rights of African Americans.</p> <p>“State-sanctioned murder of African Americans is an old powerful issue,” said Roberto Suro, director of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute at the University of Southern California. “It isn’t a matter of these incidents alone sparking this outrage. It’s more than that. It’s symbolic of lynchings and other killings that have been an instrument of suppression in the past. These incidents gain force because they speak to a whole range of other considerations.”</p> <p>Latino civil rights groups are more focused on immigration issues and lack a galvanizing figure such as the Rev. Al Sharpton who can mobilize protesters and attract inevitable media coverage in an instant.</p> <p>“It’s a real problem beyond the issue of police abuse,” said Angelo Falcón, president of the National Institute for Latino Policy. “It’s a recurring complaint among Latino leaders. No matter how much people talk about how multicultural things are and how diverse they are, it seems to revert to black and white … How the hell do you break through that black-white way of looking at policy issues?”</p> <p>In Anaheim, where more than half of the population of 345,000 is Hispanic, “there were at least seven killings (by police) between 2011 and 2012,” said Gabriel San Roman, a contributing writer for the alternative OC Weekly, who covers police brutality in Anaheim and throughout Orange County. Five were Latinos. Two more Latinos were wounded by police during that period, he said.</p> <p>Three years after the deaths of Diaz and Acevedo, “there are no politicians, no advocacy organizations,” he said. “They’re not there anymore. It’s abysmal.” By contrast, large protests happened in Ferguson for the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s killing.</p> <p>A memorial to the victims is still in place here on North Anna Drive, at the site where Diaz was shot. “Rest in Peace” and “Gone but not forgotten” signs hang on the gate outside an apartment complex. Every year, the anniversary gatherings attract fewer people (about 150 this year).</p> <p>Diaz’ mother, Genevieve Huizar, sobs as she recounts the events of that day. “They shot him twice in the lower back as he was falling to his knees,” said Huizar, a state government worker for 19 years. “They said he had a gun in his right hand. It was his cell phone.”</p> <p>Diaz had served time but had been out of jail and off probation, she said.</p> <p>The Orange County District Attorney ruled both Diaz’ and Acevedo’s killings justified. Huizar lost a civil suit that charged police used excessive force. She’s appealing.</p> <p>Her regrets are countless but the one that shouts her disappointment in the lack of public support for Latino police victims the loudest is this: In a press release she issued four days into the protests, she pleaded for peace and an end to the uprising. Now she thinks she was wrong. “I regret it with my whole being,” she said. “If there had been more of an uprising, there would maybe be no Ferguson, no Baltimore, no New York.”</p> <p>What's in the Numbers</p> <p>Part of the challenge of gaining rousing support for Latinos killed by police is the lack of data.</p> <p>The U.S. government has a voluntary reporting system of people killed by law enforcement, broken down by race but not by ethnicity, which is the category that Hispanic is considered. Hispanics can be black, white or Asian but the Department of Justice does not separate them from the broader race categories.</p> <p>“That’s one of the problems we have,” said Irastema Garza, policy consultant at the National Council of La Raza. “There’s no comprehensive database in terms of police deaths.” Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the lack of data “unacceptable.”</p> <p>Al Jazeera America analyzed the best available statistics to gauge the rate of police killings of minorities in relation to their population. The analysis looks at U.S. Census Bureau population numbers and a crowdsourcing project launched by The Guardian after Ferguson that reports a daily tally of deaths by police of blacks, whites and Hispanics. The Guardian’s count is based on police reports, regional news, witness statements, research groups and open-source reporting projects.</p> <p>Al Jazeera America’s research produced surprising findings: The percentage of Latino victims of police killings falls below their share of the population.</p> <p>Hispanics make up almost 17 percent of the U.S. population but about 14 percent of police casualties. Blacks, by comparison, are about 12 percent of the U.S. population but 25 percent of police killings. Whites are 63 percent of the population but only 48 percent of police killings.</p> <p>The disproportionate number of blacks who are killed by police is clear in the state data, as well. Blacks are more likely to be killed by police in numbers that exceed their presence in 30 states and the District of Columbia.</p> <p>In contrast, the percentage of police killings of Latinos surpasses the Hispanic share of the population in just a handful of states. And in those eight states, including Alaska and Idaho, the killings were few (one in Alaska) and were disproportionate largely because the Latino population is tiny in those states. No Latinos were killed by police in more than half the states.</p> <p>In California, where Latinos are 37 percent of the population, the number killed by police is below that share at 33 percent.</p> <p>The share of killings of whites exceeded their population numbers in nine states.</p> <p>The disproportionately high rate of black killings may partially explain the lack of media coverage of Latino deaths by police. But a study by Columbia University’s Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race last year – titled The Latino Media Gap – found fault in the media’s approach to Latino coverage and said that Latino media participation is sorely lacking.</p> <p>Stories about Latinos make up less than 1 percent of main news coverage and most were about Latino lawbreakers. As of 2013, there were no Latino anchors or executive producers in any of the nation’s top news programs. The study found that only 1.8 percent of news producers are Latinos.</p> <p>The only reason the Anaheim killings received a modicum of attention outside California is because it is the home of Disneyland, San Roman said.</p> <p>Based on The Guardian’s report, “up until June, 67 Latinos had been killed by police,” Garza said. “We’ve gotten very little coverage.”</p> <p>She said that 58 percent of the victims didn’t have a weapon.</p> <p><a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/blm-final-01.png" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Black lives matter, police brutality, Manuel Angel Diaz" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/blm-final-01.png" title="Black lives matter, police brutality, Manuel Angel Diaz" /></a></p> <p><strong>The Immigration Factor</strong></p> <p>The void in media coverage also ties into the absence of a national organizing movement — such as Black Lives Matter — among Latinos that focuses on protesting police abuse.</p> <p>And that may come down to immigration.</p> <p>Young black activists are behind Black Lives Matter, launched in 2013 after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. After recent killings of young black men, local chapters kicked in to action across the country.</p> <p>Young Latino activists have instead channeled their energy into the DREAMers movement that resulted in the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) that provides conditional residency to immigrant minors who grew up in the U.S.</p> <p>“We’ve always had pockets of activism but we didn’t have the numbers,” Garza said. “The Latino population has exploded. All of a sudden, the community has garnered attention vis a vis the election process.”</p> <p>Latino demonstrations have targeted immigrant rights, deportations and conditions at detention facilities but not necessarily police killings of Hispanics.</p> <p>“Immigration as an issue tends to suck all the air in the realm of Latino advocacy,” Potok said.</p> <p>Large organizations such as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and La Raza have 11 million reasons – the estimated number of immigrants here illegally — to expend the bulk of their lobbying and advocacy work on protecting the rights of immigrants. Newer organizations — Mi Familia Vota, Latino Victory Project — have organized to boost Latino’s political clout through voter registration campaigns and get-out-the-vote efforts.</p> <p>“We are up and coming and a force to reckon with,” Garza said. “Other social issues are perhaps not getting the same level of attention.”</p> <p>That’s understandable, said Gregory C. Brown, associate professor of criminal justice at California State University, Fullerton, who teaches a class on minorities in the criminal justice system. “You have to pick and choose your battle,” he said “They have a lot of agendas and this one is probably on the back agenda.”</p> <p><strong>The Perception Factor</strong></p> <p>How Latinos are viewed and how Latinos view police also shape the dialogue.</p> <p>Less than half of Hispanics say they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in local police to treat Hispanics and whites equally, while 72 percent of whites say this, according to a Pew Research Center study last year. More than three-fourths of whites express confidence in police in their community to gain the trust of local residents, but only 51 percent of Hispanics and 45 percent of blacks say the same.</p> <p>The distrust of police is even greater for Latino immigrants here illegally.</p> <p>“There’s no question that the reporting of hate crimes against Latinos is significantly depressed because of the fear of being deported,” Potok said.</p> <p>“There is this fear among Latinos of the police, especially if they’re undocumented,” Brown said. “They’re afraid of deportations … It takes a lot of gumption to go against the police if you have a language problem” and are here illegally.</p> <p>Public perception of Latinos also tends to diffuse the outcry over police killings. “No matter how many are citizens, they’re still seen in the American mind as foreigners,” Falcón said. Diaz and Acevedo were third-generation Americans.</p> <p>The Anaheim Police Department said it underwent a huge transformation since the 2012 protests. Two years later, Raul Quezada became the first Latino police chief in the city’s history. “We really did a critical self-assessment of the police department,” said Lt. Eric Trapp, public information officer. “We really needed to make some changes in our relations with the community.”</p> <p>The city approved hiring more officers assigned to community policing and youth services. A Coffee with a Cop program was launched to hold informal meetings in neighborhoods across the city. A mobile Public Awareness Through Citizen Education unit now visits neighborhoods several times a year. A neighborhood advisory council was formed, use-of-force standards are posted on the police department’s website and officers are now equipped with body cams — the first in the region to invest in the cameras.</p> <p>“We’ve got to go out there and be more engaged with the community,” Trapp said.</p> <p><a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/src.adapt_.960.high_.latino_victims_02a.1439471848560.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Black lives matter, police brutality, Manuel Angel Diaz" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/src.adapt_.960.high_.latino_victims_02a.1439471848560.jpg" title="Black lives matter, police brutality, Manuel Angel Diaz" /></a></p> <p><strong>Signs of Rising Activism</strong></p> <p>Donna Acevedo, a vocational nurse who provides home health care, has been pushing for change and accountability since her son, Joel, was killed by police three years ago. “In 2012, everybody came out to say this is wrong. Everybody wanted to be in the limelight,” she said. “Then they went away. There’s no organization to fight against police brutality here. It’s random. It’s just me.”</p> <p>Acevedo ran for City Council last year but because of dismal fundraising, garnered only about 4 percent of the vote. Plastered in white letters on the back window of her SUV are the words: F.T.P. Film The Police.</p> <p>Huizar proudly wears a red T-shirt emblazoned with the Young Survivors Legacy Support Network logo. She formed the group to support families who have lost loved ones at the hands of police. The group proclaims: “We are not against police. We are against police violence.”</p> <p>Organizers have traveled the state to meet with survivors of police killings. Huizar and others organize monthly picnics for neighborhood children. Huizar even reached out to Trayvon Martin’s mother but never heard back.</p> <p>“Black lives matter. When they say that, they mean all lives,” she said. “We need to make people aware.”</p> <p>Awareness is rising, Garza said. At La Raza’s recent national conference in Kansas City, Missouri, participants shared stories of police abuse. “It was absolutely packed,” she said. “We know that the Latino community is very interested because racial profiling continues to be widespread. … If Latinos are invisible nationally in the public eye, we may be invisible when they’re making policy.”</p> <p><a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/multimedia/2015/8/police-killings-of-latinos-spark-less-outrage.html" rel="nofollow">Originally published by Al Jazeera</a></p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p>Brittany Ferrell has been accused by St. Louis police of causing $5,000 damage to car she kicked as the driver forced her way through demonstrators at Michael Brown anniversary.</p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Some of the largest American Catholic organizations have millions of dollars invested in energy companies, from hydraulic fracturing firms to oil sands producers.</p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>One of the main attributes of Formal Consensus is the intention to be non-adversarial – to ignore the traditional “us vs. them” paradigm that has increasingly paralyzed politics – but in many cases it hasn't worked.</p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Cody Murray, his father, wife, and four-year-old daughter were all burned by a fireball after methane built up in his pump house and exploded.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p>The faith community, tattooed young folk, retirees and other people from all walks of life agree: business as usual is inconsistent with survival, and we’re prepared to give it our all to stop it.</p> </div> <div><span><em>4 days 4 hours</em> ago</span></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>The filing before an Oregon federal judge represents the most direct acknowledgement to date that people aren't allowed to fly because of what the government believes they might do, and not what they've already done.</p> </div> <div><span><em>3 days 3 hours</em> ago</span></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>"The public is really hungry for a politics of integrity – and that’s what we’ve got and they don't."</p> </div> <div><span><em>3 days 3 hours</em> ago</span></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>Hundreds gathered on the residential side street where Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot dead by a white police officer last August, igniting national unrest and the Black Lives Matter movement.</p> </div> <div><span><em>4 days 4 hours</em> ago</span></div> </div> <div> <div> <p>The American Psychological Association voted overwhelmingly on Friday to prohibit members from participating in interrogations conducted by U.S. agencies at locations deemed illegal under international law.</p> </div> <div><span><em>4 days 4 hours</em> ago</span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <p>By far the greatest beneficiary of fossil fuel donations has been Ted Cruz</p> </div> </div> <div> <div> <p>For the 35 years, almost all incentives operating on American corporations have resulted in lower pay for average workers and higher pay for CEOs and other top executives – it's about time that started to change.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div><img src="http://www.occupy.com/article/why-police-killings-latinos-spark-less-outrage-when-victims-are-black" /></div> </div> <div>ShareThis Copy and Paste</div> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

Pope's Climate Push At Oodds with U.S. Catholic Oil Investments

<div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h2>Pope's Climate Push At Oodds with U.S. Catholic Oil Investments</h2> <span>Pope's Climate Push At Oodds with U.S. Catholic Oil Investments</span> <div> <div>This article originally appeared on <span><a href="http://www.reuters.com/" rel="nofollow">Reuters</a></span></div> </div> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/field/image/pope-francis1.jpg?itok=nARIVq4e" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/styles/slide_narrow/public/field/image/pope-francis1.jpg?itok=nARIVq4e" /></a> <div> <p>Pope Francis heartened environmentalists around the world in June when he urged immediate action to save the planet from the effects of climate change, declaring that the use of "highly polluting fossil fuels needs to be progressively replaced without delay."</p> <p>But some of the largest American Catholic organizations have millions of dollars invested in energy companies, from hydraulic fracturing firms to oil sands producers, according to their own disclosures, through many portfolios intended to fund church operations and pay clergy salaries.</p> <p>This discrepancy between the church's leadership and its financial activities in the United States has prompted at least one significant review of investments. The Archdiocese of Chicago, America's third largest by Catholic population, told Reuters it will reexamine its more than $100 million worth of fossil fuel investments.</p> <p>"We are beginning to evaluate the implications of the encyclical across multiple areas, including investments and also including areas such as energy usage and building materials," Betsy Bohlen, chief operating officer for the Archdiocese, said in an email.</p> <p>The pope's encyclical, a letter sent to all Catholic bishops, has sharpened a debate well underway in Catholic organizations and other churches about divestment. But many major American dioceses have resisted the push.</p> <p>"You now have this clash between Pope Francis' vision of the world, and the world that the bishops who run the investments live in," said Father Michael Crosby, a Capuchin friar in Milwaukee who advocates socially responsible investing in the church.</p> <p>"The bishops are a very conservative group, and I'm not hopeful this will be resolved anytime soon."</p> <p>Dioceses covering Boston, Rockville Centre on Long Island, Baltimore, Toledo, and much of Minnesota have all reported millions of dollars in holdings in oil and gas stocks in recent years, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.</p> <p>The holdings tend to make up between 5 and 10 percent of the dioceses' overall equities investments, similar to the 7.1 percent weighting of energy companies on the S&P 500 index, according to the documents.</p> <p>The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' guidelines on ethical investing warn Catholics and Catholic institutions against investing in companies related to abortion, contraception, pornography, tobacco, and war, but do not suggest avoiding energy stocks.</p> <p>While several organizations of progressive Catholic nuns and priests have been actively urging energy companies to make their operations more socially responsible, that activist approach has not taken hold at the level of the dioceses.</p> <p>A spokesman for the USCCB declined to comment when asked if the organization was considering adjusting its investment guidelines after the encyclical, deemed the most controversial papal pronouncement in half a century.</p> <p>"The Pope's intent was to say to people: there is an urgency on this issue," said Frank Coleman, who manages Catholic Responsible Investing for the Christian Brothers Investment Services, which has resisted calls to divest the fossil fuel share of its $6 billion under management.</p> <p><a href="http://planetark.org/wen/73518"
