Fire Killing 92 Kids in Catholic School Remains a "Mystery"

9:39 PM 666

In learning of the organized crime committed by catholic nuns worldwide in their institutions, has caused a great interest in taking a closer look at the mysterious Chicago fire in the Our Lady of the Angels elementary school...especially knowing how nuns function with immunity, remain silent when questioned about their crime and their known schemes to cover up evidence by burning down places to later claim that records were lost in the fire.

The tragedy at a Catholic elementary school in Chicago over 50 years ago was an extraordinary moment of grief.

Considered one of the deadliest fires in American history, it took the lives of 92 kids and 3 nuns at Our Lady of the Angels School, leaving families physically and psychologically scarred for life, and destroyed a close-knit working-class neighborhood.

Astonishingly, some of the nuns, out of frozen panic or blind faith, told their students not to flee but to get on their knees and pray and wait for the firemen.

There is a book entitled To Sleep with the Angels: The Story of a Fire which tells the the moving story of that fire and its consequences written by two journalists who have been obsessed with the events of that terrible day in December 1958.
It is a true story of a disaster that shocked the nation. In gripping detail, those who were there—children, teachers, firefighters—
describe the fear, desperation, and panic that prevailed in and around the stricken school building on that cold Monday afternoon.
But beyond the flames, the story of the fire at Our Lady of the Angels became an enigma whose mystery has deepened with time: its cause was never officially explained despite evidence that it had been intentionally set by a troubled student at the school.

The fire led to a complete overhaul of fire safety standards for American schools, but it left a community torn apart by grief and anger,
and accusations that the Catholic church and city fathers had shielded the truth.

Authors David Cowan and John Kuenster have recreated this tragedy in a powerful narrative with all the elements of a first-rate detective story.

Newfoundland Catholic Priest Charged with 38 Sex Offenses

5:47 PM 666

Rev. George Ansel Smith
News that a Roman Catholic priest has been charged in western Newfoundland with dozens of sex-related offenses over two decades shook the church Wednesday.

The offender, Rev. George Ansel Smith was suspended last year from his duties as a church administrator in Kinkora, P.E.I., and is now retired.

Bishop Peter Hundt of the Diocese of Corner Brook and Labrador said news of the charges hit hard. He stated in an interview that it's always difficult and it brings a lot of emotions to the surface for everybody.

He faces 38 charges including several counts of gross indecency, sexual assault and indecent assault on a male.

The RCMP say the charges stem from a 16-month investigation and that Smith turned himself in to police. Smith appeared in provincial court in Corner Brook in connection with alleged incidents between 1969 and 1989. He was released on conditions and is to appear in court on Feb. 23 for a plea.

Hundt said the diocese has co-operated with police and wants members of the public to help the RCMP with their investigation if they have information.
"Any allegation of improper conduct by a priest is an extremely serious matter," he said, reading from a statement.

"The diocese has developed extensive procedures to foster a safe environment for all the members of our faith community, and has also developed a clear policy and procedure for replying to allegations of sexual misconduct." Hundt said church officials are especially mindful of the alleged victims in this case, the latest to rock an institution that has repeatedly grappled with sex abuse involving clergy.

Police would not release details on the ages of the alleged victims as a matter of confidentiality.

Smith has not worked in the Corner Brook region for more than 20 years, Hundt said. Smith moved to P.E.I. in 1994 after working in Deer Lake, N.L., near Corner Brook, from 1986 to 1991. He had also worked in nearby parishes.
He was removed in May 2010 from his duties at St. Malachy's Church in Kinkora, P.E.I., after Bishop Richard Grecco got a call from the diocese of Corner Brook and Labrador about an abuse allegation.

Grecco said at the time that Smith was distraught but understood that a priest must leave the parish immediately after any allegation of abuse.

Thoughts on this Week's Latest Panic

5:56 PM 666

Waking up to what we Are, and What we can Be: Thoughts on this Week’s Latest Panic
By Kevin D. Annett

When our adversary loses his liberties, it’s called justice. When we lose ours, it’s called dictatorship. - Ammon Henacy
I’ve been advised by people apparently in the know that America officially became a police state this past week, with the passing of President Obama’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).


Meanwhile, across the waters, friends in Ireland have just denounced in righteous indignation the convening of “secret courts” of the Roman Catholic Church to investigate itself for raping children, and silence in-house stool pigeons in the process.


Well now, that’s all a big surprise.


I guess the outraged internet commentators who tremble and bemoan the repercussions of the NDAA have never heard about that great liberator Abraham Lincoln’s “emergency measure” laws during the U.S. civil war, whereby he shut down opposition newspapers, jailed dissenters without trial or habeas corpus, and ran the country like a one man fief.


And what’s so new about there being one law for us, and another for child-killing priests? Secret church courts? Yeah, I’ve been there.


I often think that the degree of our moral outrage at injustice is directly proportional to the degree of our own ignorance and naivety about the kind of culture we live in, and loyally maintain: one that has been built on and thrives upon the crushing oppression of all sorts of people by both church and state, here at home and abroad.


The only problem these days, it seems, is that such an iron hand is now starting to descend on the lives of certain privileged, bourgeois, dare I say “white” folks: a fact that’s supposed to get us all concerned. I mean, we can’t have our rights violated now, can we?


I’ve seen friends killed by cops, thrown from their homes, blacklisted into suicide and legally robbed of everything by official agents of law and order. Most of these people were dark skinned, or poor, or simply alone. And all during their torture, nobody complained about how their fate marked the commencing of totalitarianism in our midst.


Ah, but those were just isolated individuals, you might reply. These new police state laws affect everybody. Well listen up, dummy: how did you think those laws we now face were able to come about, except by what was happening first to all of my friends, while you all stood by and looked the other way? They were the trial runs, the test cases. And now it’s your turn.


If not poetic justice, you could call it historical inevitability.


I helped make this present sorry mess happen, too, of course. I was only shaken out of some of my own complicity when I experienced the big boot of church tyrants who tried and sentenced me to public execution in a secret ecclesiastical court that no law could touch. The Attorney General for British Columbia even said so, in a letter to me: “The internal disciplinary processes of the United Church are outside the jurisdiction of this department (read: the law)”. I told the world about that particular tyranny, and nobody cared, starting with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and every lawyer in sight.

I don’t carry much of a grudge anymore about all that cruelty, regardless of how it destroyed my life, because it opened my eyes. It put me on a higher and necessary path and purpose. So I counsel all of today’s chicken littles who see the sky crashing down on their little world at the hands of that evil Mr. Obama to realize that Big Brother is actually giving all of you a rare gift, and an opportunity: to know how the rest of us live.

Be that as it may, another advantage of all this unusual honesty by the state in so openly declaring its monstrous nature is that it puts more and more of us in the same boat. Our ranks are swelling with some very pissed off people. Like any naked act of terror, the NDAA and other such assaults is creating a new generation of freedom fighters where once resided mere bubble headed techno serfs. So I thank Obama, really, for his efforts at sharpening the minds and the love of liberty in so many erstwhile complicit Americans.

As for his counterparts in the hierarchy of that even more ancient tyranny called Roman Catholicism, all those pathetic priestly turds are the best thing that’s happened for secular humanism and free thinking since the days of Martin Luther. I hear that some of the Irish are so outraged at these secret church courts that they’re planning on invading their sessions and trashing them, and putting the child-raping priests on trial in common law courts of their own making.

And being Irish, you can bet your brogans they’ll do it, too.
Man, I love tyranny. I love repressive laws. They’re the whip that awakens a slumbering humanity, and forces us to know what matters, and what we must do.

One of the guys that made the American Revolution and its Republic, and whose words would undoubtedly qualify him for arrest and secret trial by the present U.S. government, was good old Thomas Paine. Battling exactly the same tyranny that grips America today, and facing the same odds as we do, Tom Paine exhorted the stumbling and weary veterans at Valley Forge with these words, born of misery and oppression:

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly …

And …

An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot. For such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants is the liberty of appearing. I love the man who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. So if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

Now is the time, friends. Take strength from the blows, walk not in fear, especially of one another, and stand as one now, in our great company of ancestors who were not those of timid disposition.
Are we not ready?

Rabbis Caught in Child Organ Trafficking Crimes

5:42 PM 666

Look at the atrocious crimes committed by jewish rabbis, child trafficking.
But that's not all....many people aren't aware of the corruption of this false teaching. They may not be aware of The Talmud - Judaism's holiest book and what it includes. In order to illustrate their corrupt teachings, we have highlighted some for you:

Sanhedrin 55b. A Jew may marry a three year old girl (specifically, three years "and a day" old).

Sanhedrin 54b. A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child is less than nine years old.

Kethuboth 11b. "When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing."

Yebamoth 59b. A woman who had intercourse with a beast is eligible to marry a Jewish priest. A woman who has sex with a so-called "demon" is also eligible to marry a Jewish priest.


Catholic Priest in Pennsylvania Resigns after being Accused of Stealing Money from Church

5:17 PM 666

A Catholic priest who worked for Word of God Parish for 16 years has resigned over accusations that he took money from the church in Swissvale, PA.

The Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese said the investigation of the Rev. Francis Drabiska is now being handled by the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office. No charges had been filed as of Monday afternoon.

"It has become clear through careful review of parish finances by diocesan auditors that funds have been misappropriated in some fashion from Word of God. As is our policy in such cases, the information gathered is being turned over to civil authorities. Father Drabiska acknowledged that he took funds and subsequently resigned as pastor," said a written statement from Bishop David Zubik.

Zubik was out of town Monday and unavailable for an interview, according to the diocese.
The Rev. Ron Lengwin, a diocesan spokesman, told Channel 4 Action News' Bob Mayo that questions were raised when routine audits by the diocese showed a dip in funds dating back to 2005.

128 Boys in Iceland taken from their Families to be placed in Residential School

7:25 AM 666

The operations from 1945 to 1994 of the treatment homes Breiðavík*, Heyrnarleysingjaskólinn, Kumbaravogur, Bjarg, Reykjahlíð, Silungapollur, Jaðar, Unglingaheimili ríkisins and Upptökuheimili ríkisins was under investigation, Morgunblaðið reports. The report states that decisions on the accommodation of children and teens who were suspected of criminal behavior or had behavioral problems at Upptökuheimili ríkisins were mostly in the hands of the police.

The police also determined the arrangement of the accommodation, for example that the home's residents were locked inside their rooms in the upper floor of the home in Elliðahvammur in 1945-1964.
Violent treatment and sexual abuse has been reported at these two homes; former residents of Breiðavík participated in the making of a documentary, At the Edge of the World (Syndir feðranna; 2007), where they described their treatment at the home.
The state treasury has now paid out ISK 520 million (USD 4.4 million, EUR 3.3 million) of the ISK 920 million (USD 7.7 million, EUR 5.8 million) earmarked in damages to approximately 300 individuals who were subject to maltreatment or abuse at these homes.

The damages range from ISK 400,000 (USD 3,400, EUR 2,500) to ISK 6 million (USD 50,000, EUR 38,000) per individual.

A total of 325 applications for damages have been received, most, or 131, of which are in relation to Heyrnarleysingjaskólinn, school for the deaf, followed by 123 related to Breiðavík, a home for troubled boys.
At Wednesday's press conference the committee's chairperson Róbert Spanó said the most important lesson to be learned from the report is that no costs should not be spared when it comes to supervision of child protection and facilities at treatment homes. "Few things are as drastic for a child than to be taken away from its parents and family and accommodated far away from its home due to a decision of public authorities," the report concludes in its summary.

The committee was established in 2007, originally to investigate the operations of Breiðavík, but since moved on to investigate other state-run homes as well. In the period of investigation, 43 individuals have described to the committee the maltreatment or violence they were subject to at these homes.

A total of 400 interviews were conducted on behalf of the committee in 2007-2011 and its reports amount to 1,500 pages.

Does this sound familiar? Does it not sound exactly like:
the 150,000 children stolen in Canada, the 30,000 stolen in Ireland,
the 125,000 stolen in USA? All taken by the state and placed at the hands of religious residential schools, orphanages and institutions where the children were abused, tortured and experimented on?

Iceland's Former Catholic Bishop Sexually Harassed Three Women in 1996

9:23 PM 666

The present bishop of Iceland Karl Sigurbjörnsson said the church did not come to the aid of three women who accused former bishop Ólafur Skúlason of sexual harassment in 1996. “The church failed these women,” Sigurbjörnsson told Fréttabladid.

However, he denies having tried to force the women into dropping their allegations. When asked why he didn’t go to the police he said he had been very surprised by the women’s claims. He said he was a small pastor and didn't want to believe something like that and had been on the defensive.

One of the women who accused Skúlason of sexual harassment, Sigrún Pálína Ingvarsdóttir, told the media that Sigurbjörnsson had tried to hush the matter up, something the bishop denies.

Sigurbjörnsson said he did his best to mediate between the three women and the former bishop while this case was at its height in 1996. When Skúlason refused to apologize to the women, the case was closed as far as the church was concerned.

In regard to another heated debate involving the church, the bishop deemed Pastor of Reykholt Rev. Geir Waage’s recent comments to Morgunbladid that priests should not report on their knowledge of sexual violations against children as unfortunate. He said he is planning to discuss the matter with Waage and said Waage will have to explain himself. “He is on his way to my office,” Sigurbjörnsson said. Waage’s comments have provoked harsh reactions; some priests have demanded that the bishop make him redundant.

According to Brynjar Níelsson, chairman of the Icelandic Lawyers’ Association, priests are obligated to report violations against children. He estimates, the confidentiality of priests ends when it infringes on the law of child protection.

A report by visir.is states that Minister of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs Ragna Árnadóttir claims that the obligation to report crimes exceeds all other obligations priests might have. She discussed these matters with the bishop.

Sigurbjörnsson agrees, telling Fréttabladid it is crystal clear that priests have to follow the national law, regardless of what ethical regulations of the priesthood might state.

These two affairs have caused a number of people to delist from the State Church. The bishop said it is obvious that many people feel that the church is failing in its role towards the public. The delisting is evidence of the seriousness of the church’s situation.

Roman Catholic Bishop Released after being Arrested for 600 Child Pornographic Photos

3:38 PM 666


Canadian bishop Lahey, 71, pleaded guilty last May to one count of importing child pornography and voluntarily went to jail to begin serving time before his formal sentencing. Ottawa airport officials arrested Bishop Raymond Lahey in 2009 after customs authorities found almost 600 pornographic photos of young teen boys on his laptop and a handheld device. Adolescent boys engaged in sex acts while wearing crucifix and rosary beads were some of the images found.

Raymond Lahey, Canadian Catholic Clergy
Ontario Court Justice Kent Kirkland on Wednesday gave Lahey two-for-one credit for the time he served and two years probation. Double credit is not unusual. The federal government got rid of the provision in 2010 but Lahey qualified for it because he was charged in 2009 before the legislation was enacted.

Lahey will have to submit a DNA sample and register as a sex offender. He also will have to allow searches of his personal and office computers when required by the authorities. He has also been ordered to keep away from swimming pools, daycare centers and schools.

Defense lawyer Michael Edelson called it “exactly the right sentence.” Edelson said Lahey’s career in the church is over. He said Lahey wrote a letter to the Vatican last year asking to be defrocked but hasn’t heard back yet.

According to Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, church authorities would consider which church law measures to take once the criminal court case concludes. Disciplinary measures are imposed by the church he was in charge of not the Vatican. Lombardi said it wasn’t known when that decision would be taken but that he expected it would be made public.

Prelates who sexually abuse minors can be defrocked. Lesser punishments include being forbidden from celebrating Mass publicly.

Edelson said Lahey has been in solitary confinement and the conditions have been dismal. “He’s lost about 30 pounds (13 kilograms). He has a very severe skin condition now that he didn’t have when he went in. It’s been a very difficult period, and that’s one of the reasons there is a two-for-one credit,” Edelson said.

At a sentencing hearing last month, Lahey offered an apology to his church and to victims of child pornography. He said his addiction to internet porn went against his moral principles.

Lahey resigned as head of the Catholic diocese of Antigonish in Nova Scotia just before the charges became public.

“This entire matter has caused a great deal of hurt, disappointment and anger within and outside of our diocese,” new Antigonish Bishop Brian Dunn said in a statement. “Church leaders are called to provide good example and to show moral integrity in their lives. When they commit serious moral failures, this can have a significant impact on the faith community. This is especially so when it involves the crime of child pornography.”

Rabbi Rosenbaum, One of Five Jewish Leaders Arrested for Child Organ Trafficking

1:20 PM 666

Rabbi Rosenbaum agreed to procure a kidney for an undercover officer's "sick uncle."

"Let me explain this to you," said Rosenbaum on February 26, 2008, according to the court documents. "It's illegal to buy a kidney. It's illegal to sell. They are going to investigate him [the donor] not you, not your uncle. He's going to speak to a social worker and a psychologist to find out why he is doing it and it is our job to prepare him."

The cost would be $160,000 for the kidney donation, 50 percent up front. But Rosenbaum repeatedly made it clear, according to court papers, It's illegal to buy or sell organs. .. . "So you cannot buy it. What you do is, you're giving a compensation for the time"

Rabbi Isaac Rosenbaum is one of five Rabbi's arrested, along with Rabbi Eliahu Ben Haim, Chief Rabbi Saul Kassin, Principal Rabbi Edmund Nahum, and Rabbi Mordchai Fish. While there are no details, an Israeli police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld is quoted as saying he has heard of this story but knows nothing of kidneys being sold by Israelis.

Charges of extortion, bribery, money laundering and human organ trafficking were stunning even for a state long notorious for official corruption and organized crime.

Five rabbis were among the suspects, along with the mayors of Hoboken, Secaucus and Ridgefield, the Jersey City deputy mayor and council president, two state assembly members, and numerous other politicians, prosecutors said.

Television footage showed FBI and tax agents bringing a stream of handcuffed suspects, including rabbis wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish garb, into custody in the city of Newark. Other suspects were shown being put onto a bus.
Officials said the arrests were part of an ongoing 10 year probe into statewide corruption code-named "Bid Rig."

85 Orthodox Jews Arrested for Kidnapping, Child Abuse and Sodomy in New York

7:08 PM 666

Andrew Goodman among those accused; additional cases pending under Kol Tzedek (Voice of Justice) program, which aims to coax victims in the community to come forward.

Brooklyn prosecutors say authorities have arrested 85 people in the Orthodox Jewish community on child sex abuse charges in the past three years, the New York Post reported Sunday, confirming earlier reports in the Forward.

Prosecutors in the office of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes told the Post that 38 of the sex cases had been closed so far, with 14 convictions. The suspects got jail time ranging from a month to up to 20 years for crimes that included sex abuse, attempted kidnapping, and sodomy, the paper said.

Among those accused is Andrew Goodman, 27, who worked for Ohel and other Jewish social-service agencies. The Post says he is charged with sexually abusing two Orthodox boys for years in Flatbush, and filming sex acts dating back to 2006, according to the 144-count indictment, which alleges numerous violations since 2006.
