What Christmas is like for persecuted Christians
Someone has to say the truth...
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
A Christmas message to my readers
As my readers in the United States and around the world gather with their loved ones to celebrate the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I ask that a prayer be said for persecuted Christians around the world, including those in the United States– who are under vicious attack by materialistic atheists and communists.
We are living in very dark times. While it is impossible to present every example of the ongoing worldwide persecution of Christians, the following video of the plight of Underground Christians in China is an example of the gruesome reality that we face:

MERRY CHRISTMAS! The Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Cornaro Missal
God's priceless love...
Isaiah 9:6
For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
Parvulus enim natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis, et factus est principatus super humerum ejus: et vocabitur nomen ejus, Admirabilis, Consiliarius, Deus, Fortis, Pater futuri saeculi, Princeps pacis.
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
The birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the most significant event in world history, both as a political and supernatural truth, through God’s Divine intervention.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the King of Kings, was born miraculously and painlessly from the Immaculate Womb of the Virgin Mary, as the essence of God’s Perfect Love for humanity.
His birth has been depicted throughout 2013 years of history —but it was during the Middle Ages that illuminators began to present the fine details that we identify today with the manger scene.
During the early 16th Century, Cardinal Patriarch Marco Cornaro, a descendant of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Venetian families of the time, commissioned the famous Cornaro Missal. The illuminator of the Cornaro Missal remains unknown.
For the benefit of my non-Catholic readers, a missal is a book which contains the prayers and responses needed throughout the year, for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass.
The Cornaro Missal is considered a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art. It was acquired by the Austrian branch of the Rothschild family. This is of historical significance, since the Rothschild family is Jewish.
The Nazis expropriated the Cornaro Missal in 1938 from the Rothschilds. It appears that the Cornaro Missal may have been hidden in salt mines, along with other art works from the Rothschild collection. American soldiers recovered the art works and turned them over to the Austrian government. The Austrian government did not return the art works to the Rothschilds until February 1999.
On July 8, 1999, the Cornaro Missal, which was part of the collection held by Barons Nathaniel and Albert von Rothschild, was sold for $4,758,102 at a Christie’s auction in London. This has been reported as the highest price ever paid for an Italian illuminated manuscript, now owned by an unidentified private collector.
It is ironic that the depiction of Our Lord’s Divine birth can command millions of dollars—in the same materialistic environment where He was once sold for thirty pieces of silver.
May you and your loved ones be surrounded by the immeasurable and priceless Love of Christ’s birth. Merry Christmas to all of my readers in the United States and around the world.
— Marielena

THE VATICAN: Francis trivializes and dehumanizes the most massive genocide in human history
Francis and Marxism
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
Francis and Marxism
Allow me to present you with three questions, and you decide if any of the answers are morally acceptable:
1. What does it feel like to be called a “Marxist”?:
“The Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”
2. What does it feel like to be called a “Nazi”?:
“The Nazi ideology is wrong. But I have met many Nazis in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”
3. What does it feel like to be called a “supporter of Apartheid”? (racial segregation in South Africa):
“The Apartheid ideology is wrong. But I have met many racial segregationists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended.”
Any person with a modicum of intelligence and humanity in them would detest all three answers– and denounce the person who would make such statements.
Well, I have news for you…
The first statement, “The Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended” was made by Francis during an exclusive interview in La Stampa’s Vatican Insider. Francis’s statement is camouflaged inside an article titled “Never be afraid of tenderness.”
Now, do you think that the press is up in arms about this? Not at all. Francis’s horrendous statement is being brushed aside by the mainstream media, as well as by the opportunistic modernist Catholic media, which will justify anything to advance its material interests.
Rightly so, the aforementioned media does not tolerate the same statement when applied to Nazism or Apartheid. So why does it tolerate it when it comes to Marxism?
The magnitude of Francis’s offensive statement cannot be measured.
Over 120 million human beings have been exterminated under Marxist regimes– not including those who have been murdered through forced abortions, as part of socialist depopulation policies. The death toll continues in Cuba, China, North Korea, Laos and Vietnam– as well as in other satellite socialist countries in Africa and Asia. The Communist madman who is least afraid to reveal his executions and human rights abuses appears to be North Korea’s Kim Jong Un– who recently executed his uncle.
Marxism can be credited with deadly gulags, deadly labor camps, and fatal exoduses– as in the hundreds of thousands of Cubans who have drowned or been executed while escaping Communist Cuba. The bloody trail of extrajudicial trials, which are always preceded by torture and followed by executions, continues to this day under Communist regimes. Man-made famines, as in the Ukraine under Stalin, as in Zimbabwe under Mugabe, as in Somalia under the Siad Barre dictatorship, as in Cambodia under Pol Pot, are responsible for millions of deaths in the Marxist massacre. Should I go on?
Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church has shamelessly stated that he is not offended if someone calls him a Marxist; as such, Francis has trivialized and dehumanized the most massive genocide recorded in human history.

The New World Order descends on Johannesburg
Someone has to say the truth...
THE NEW WORLD ORDER DESCENDS ON JOHANNESBURG
The presence of the New World Order leaders in Johannesburg has everything to do with power, greed and control– and nothing to do with the well-being of the black population of South Africa.
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
The long-suffering people of Africa have experienced nothing but lies and abuse at the hands of socialists. Racial equality, which is granted to every human being from the moment of conception through the Natural Law of God, has been manipulated as a political “cause” in Africa– by the European Socialists of the United Nations—through Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) programs [*- see footnote] NGO’s and indoctrination curricula. Instead of turning to God—and using the Natural Law as the basis for public policies, generations of Africans have been told that they need to turn instead to socialism.
Yet, in the face of South Africa’s grim social and economic state, New World Order leaders have descended en masse on Johannesburg, in an obvious show of force after Mandela’s death—ignoring the everyday painful reality of the South African black population.
A Socialist Abyss
During my campaign for the United States Senate (FL-Republican, on the ballot, 2012) I warned that American citizens needed to brace themselves as the world rapidly descends into a socialist abyss. As such, I emphasized the need for public policies based on the Commandments of God and the Natural Law, which binds all men, for all time and in all circumstances.
My experience having lived under Fidel Castro’s murderous Communist dictatorship, which included witnessing the enslavement of the Cuban people, of every color and creed, left me with a very clear understanding of my place in this world—and that my rights as a human being were guaranteed by God—not by any government or political order.
The New World Order… of religious leaders, politicians and monarchs
The New World Order that we live under—famously lauded by Republican U.S. President, George Herbert Walker Bush, has indeed grown deep roots in the minds of people all over the world. So much so, that religious leaders, politicians and monarchs who claim to care for the plight of the poor, have either issued statements (as in the Vatican’s statement issued by Francis) or have arrived in Johannesburg for Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, claiming to honor Mandela—a man who shamelessly admired Fidel Castro’s brutal Communist dictatorship, clearly stated as follows:
“From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution….Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.”—Nelson Mandela, July 26, 1991, Cuba.
Another participant in the Mandela memorial service, who shocked many (except for me) was none other than U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, who issued the following statement, before traveling to Johannesburg:
“Nelson Mandela will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe. He stood firm for decades on the principle that until all South Africans enjoyed equal liberties he would not leave prison himself, declaring in his autobiography, ‘Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.’ Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free.
“We mourn his loss and offer our condolences to his family and the people of South Africa.” – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (Republican-Texas) – December 5, 2013
Ted Cruz has chosen to ignore Mandela’s admitted terrorist past as a Communist. Cruz has also chosen to ignore the fact that Mandela institutionalized unfettered abortion in South Africa– and that he single-handedly turned South Africa into a nation with some the most liberal laws on earth.
Based on Cruz’ public statement of admiration for Mandela and his decision to participate in the Mandela memorial event, is it possible that Senator Ted Cruz still harbors admiration for his own father’s participation as a pro-Castro revolutionary activist? “’He was a guerilla, throwing Molotov cocktails and blowing up buildings,‘ Ted Cruz told the Austin American-Statesman [about his father] for a profile published in January 2006,” according to The Dallas Morning News (October 25, 2011).
How else are we to explain Ted Cruz’ statement honoring Mandela– and his subsequent pilgrimage to South Africa to be at the memorial?
This two-sided political approach is very common in the Cuban exiled community and among those of Cuban descent, who often view their parents’ former socialist pro-Castro activism with starry-eyed idealism, while they also denounce Castro. This inconsistent political behavior is precisely what has divided the Cuban exiled community for more than 50 years.
As I said above, Ted Cruz’ participation in Nelson Mandela’s memorial and his written statement did not take me by surprise. Ted Cruz wants to have it both ways, but principled conservatives do not behave this way.
In what appears to be an obvious attempt to defuse the criticisms he received, Ted Cruz “walked out” when Raúl Castro was delivering his speech at the Mandela memorial. Too little, too late.
Another admirer of Nelson Mandela is U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, also of Cuban descent. Marco Rubio’s ambiguous account of his family’s return to Cuba after Castro’s takeover in January 1959, continues to raise questions and eyebrows– considering that the executions of hundreds of innocent Cubans began immediately in 1959, in the fortress of La Cabaña. In addition, it was well known that hundreds of innocent farmers and civilians had been executed throughout the island by Castro and his band of Marxist thugs during their terrorist “revolution.” By 1960 all American businesses in Cuba had been nationalized without compensation– and the United States had broken off diplomatic relations with Havana.
Given these conditions, why did Marco Rubio’s parents leave the United States and return to Cuba to live under Castro?
Although Senator Marco Rubio did not travel to Johannesburg for Mandela’s memorial, his admiration for Nelson Mandela shows that Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz suffer from the same malady of political inconsistency. Much has changed with Rubio since he ran for the U.S. Senate. Here is Marco Rubio’s statement paying homage to Mandela:
“The world has lost one of history’s most important figures, though Nelson Mandela’s example will live on for generations to come. Men and women striving for justice and fairness around the world have drawn inspiration from Nelson Mandela, and he showed South Africans and the entire world what the power of forgiveness truly means and can accomplish. My wife Jeanette and I send our condolences to the Mandela family and to the people of South Africa.” – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (Republican-Florida) December 5, 2013.
Nelson Mandela and Communism
Nelson Mandela was not a political prisoner. He was imprisoned for espousing violent activities through the Umkhonto we Sizwe (abbreviated MK)– a terrorist organization which he co-founded, as the “armed” wing of the African National Congress (ANC).
During his trial Nelson Mandela pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence, which included organizing terrorist bombing campaigns. Scores of innocent people, both black and white, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s Umkhonto we Sizwe terrorists, including women and children. In any other country Nelson Mandela would have been sentenced to death, or would have spent life in prison. Yet, he enjoyed communication privileges unheard of, for a prisoner with such a criminal record.
As such, even Amnesty International, which is well known for its progressive side, would not take on Mandela’s case, since he was not a political prisoner (“prisoner of conscience”). In addition, pursuant to Amnesty International’s criterion, a “prisoner of conscience” must not have used nor advocated violence.
As cruel and abominable as apartheid was, Mandela’s legacy of terrorist violence and support of murderous Communist dictatorships cannot be justified
By the time Mandela came out of prison and became President of South Africa he had given up on the idea of full-blown communism, given that he would not receive aid from the Soviet Union, which had recently collapsed.
Cuba’s communism, which Mandela so admired, was his scariest example of a communist country starving after its long dependence on the Soviet Union. However, the communists from the former Communist bloc resurfaced through Sustainable Development (Agenda 21)– which is the United Nations socialist global initiative. The operatives of Agenda 21 have worked tirelessly in Africa to advance socialism– in ways that the Soviet Union could not achieve. Socialist politicians all over the world, including Mandela, have advanced their causes with the help of Sustainable Development, much more than they ever could with the help of the Soviets.
While Nelson Mandela praised Fidel Castro’s Communist dictatorship, the Strait of Florida had already become a cemetery for untold hundreds of thousands of Cubans who had drowned trying to escape. This does not include the untold number executed by Castro’s government forces. After nearly 55 years of Castro’s Communist dictatorship, the human loss has become one of the worst catastrophes recorded in modern history. But New World Order religious leaders, politicians and monarchs do not feel it is in their best interest to demand that the Communist dagger be removed from the heart of the Cuban people. Instead, they vacation in the island prison.
While the international community joined forces to bring down apartheid in South Africa– it is not willing to do the same, in order to help bring to an end the oppression of the people of Cuba. In fact, the international community has more than made up for Cuba’s economic loss after the Soviets fell, through trade with Castro. In addition, tourists and visitors from all over the world, including those from the United States, flock to Cuba with their dollars– while they mock the U.S. Embargo; consequently, they continue to support the island’s oppressive Communist regime.
The hubris and hypocrisy of those who support the Cuban tourism industry are astonishing and immensely painful for those who continue to be persecuted, imprisoned and tortured in Cuba– as well as for those of us who have suffered under Castro’s Communist regime.
It is extremely difficult for someone like me, as a survivor of communism, to witness this international massive socialist takeover– and its accompanying disregard for the most basic human rights. Members of my family, including my father, were political prisoners under Castro’s bloody regime. One of my uncles became one of the longest held political prisoners in the Western Hemisphere. Other family members were tortured and executed– or died fighting against Castro’s Communist forces. I visited Castro’s political prisons during my childhood in Cuba, so I have full authority to speak about the communist atrocities that I witnessed.
Nelson Mandela is criticized by the Communists he served
Nelson Mandela passionately advanced communist causes, even becoming a member of the Communist Party, as confirmed by the SACP (South African Communist Party) through the following statement:
“At his arrest in August 1962, Nelson Mandela was not only a member of the then underground South African Communist Party, but was also a member of our Party’s Central Committee. To us as South African communists, Cde [Comrade] Mandela shall forever symbolise (sic) the monumental contribution of the SACP in our liberation struggle. The contribution of communists in the struggle to achieve the South African freedom has very few parallels in the history of our country. After his release from prison in 1990, Cde Madiba became a great and close friend of the communists till his last days.” *- The Nelson Mandela Foundation explains that Madiba is the name of the Thembu clan to which Nelson Mandela belonged. The clan gets its name from a 19th century chief. All the members of this clan can be called Madiba.
Some of the most scathing criticisms of Mandela have emerged from none other than the Communist ranks. This article, which appeared on December 7 on The World Socialist Website of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) is urgently calling for your attention.
Excerpt:
“South Africa today ranks as the most socially unequal country on the face of the planet. The gap between wealth and poverty and the number of poor South Africans are both greater than they were when Mandela walked out of prison in 1990. Fully 60 percent of the country’s income goes to the top 10 percent, while the bottom 50 percent lives below the poverty line, collectively receiving less than 8 percent of total earnings. At least 20 million are jobless, including over half of the younger workers.
Meanwhile, under the mantle of programs like “Black Economic Empowerment,” a thin layer of black ex-ANC leaders, trade union officials and small businessmen has become very rich from incorporation onto boards of directors, acquisitions of stock, and contracts with the government. It is under these conditions that ANC governments that have followed Mandela’s, first under Thabo Mbeki and now Jacob Zuma, have come to be seen as the corrupt representatives of a wealthy ruling establishment.
Mandela, who played a less and less active role in the country’s political life, nevertheless served as a facade for the ANC, which traded on his history of sacrifice and his image of humble dignity to hide its own corrupt self-dealing. Behind the facade, of course, Mandela and his family raked in millions, with his children and grandchildren active in some 200 private companies.”
Even left-leaning publications like The Economist have denounced the grim situation in South Africa, as in the recent commentary “The longer walk to equality.”
Excerpt:
“Under its own majority rule, the lot of the ever-growing black population—today forming over three-quarters of the national total—has been notably poor. Misguided governance, low-quality education, skills shortages and massive unemployment levels of around 40% have left it more disadvantaged today than when Nelson Mandela was still behind bars. Black income has virtually flat-lined, betraying tremendous gulfs between the wealth of the different racial groups. Sadly, the nation Mandela leaves behind today remains one of the least equal in the world.” The Economist’s “The longer walk to equality” – December 6, 2013.
Upon the death of Mandela, the Pew Research Center also offered an update on South Africa (December 6)— stating that “…while the country has changed politically and demographically, economically it still looks much as it did nearly a century ago, divided along racial lines.”
The moral of the story
The citizens of South Africa are being used, manipulated and abused by the socialists in the United Nations and its fellow traveling religious leaders, politicians and monarchs. Therefore, it is urgent that South African citizens insist on public policies based on the Commandments of God and the Natural Law, or they will find themselves in a worse situation 100 years from now. By then the depopulation activists at the United Nations will have entirely succeeded in convincing the black population that their economic problems lie in their numbers.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The biggest enemy of the black South African population is the assault carried out by materialistic atheists on their communities.
Meanwhile, millions of black African babies will continue to be aborted as part of “sustainability” programs, that teach economic and environmental stewardship through population control. It should be of no surprise that Mandela legalized abortion on demand in South Africa, even for minor girls.
New York Times excerpt:
“South Africa’s new abortion law passed its final legislative hurdle today, clearing the way for President Nelson Mandela to replace one of the world’s toughest abortion laws with one of the most liberal.
Under the new law, women and girls will be entitled to a state-financed abortion on demand during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy if they have no private medical insurance, and, subject to widely defined conditions, for a further eight weeks.” – New York Times, November 6, 1996.
So while Nelson Mandela was calling for equality for all, he was making it legal for South African babies to be exterminated through abortion on demand.
As expected, Barack Obama, the most extreme pro-abortion president that the United States has ever had, was in Johannesburg shaking hands with Raúl Castro and other communists.
What is most disturbing is to see religious leaders like Francis issuing statements glorifying Mandela, as well as Catholic monarchs, like Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg who attended the Mandela memorial (Grand Duke Henri is a passionate promoter of the United Nations’ Socialist initiative, Sustainable Development / Agenda 21) while ignoring the suffering of the people of South Africa, specifically the black population—which is relentlessly victimized by abortionists.
It appears that this New World Order of religious leaders, politicians and monarchs does not seem to care about the Commandments of God or the Natural Law. Instead, these individuals have become puppets of the socialist collective—acting as emissaries through the Vatican, NGO’s and foundations, in order to advance the New World Order, under the watchful eye of the United Nations. Should these religious leaders, politicians and monarchs step out of line, the powerful machinery behind the United Nations will see to it that they are removed from power.
The presence of these leaders in Johannesburg has everything to do with a show of force, to assert their New World Order of power, greed and control—and absolutely nothing to do with the well-being of the black population.
The citizens of South Africa deserve better.
Someone has to say the truth…
[*]: Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) is the United Nations socialist initiative for global governance—which aims to dictate every aspect of our lives, with depopulation as its starting point— followed by restrictions on what foods can be consumed and infringement of private property rights, natural resources and sovereign rights. All under the disguise of environmental stewardship.

The man with the keys is not here
Catholic Customer Service
The modernist administrators of the Roman Catholic Church have reached a new level, in their ongoing concern over public perception. Will their latest public relations tactics involve even more modernist social reform– or are they trying to make you feel good, so they can reach into your wallet?
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
La Bella Figura
La Bella Figura (literally the beautiful figure) is the Italian daily concern with public perception. La Bella figura is connected to everything from attire to comportment in public. One wrong move and your bella figura is ruined. It seems that the modernists at the Vatican are more and more concerned with this Italian style of public perception, than the actual substance and richness found in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.
Francis has made a point of rejecting traditional papal garments, so as to appear more humble. Papal public camaraderie has driven Francis to wear a clown’s nose– and even to allow a popular soccer player to sit on the papal chair. His ultra modernist “papacy” is non-judgmental of homosexual priests, in spite of the rampant and devastating incidence of pederasty in the Church. Lip service is being given to abortion– and to victims of sexual abuse at the hands of homosexual clergy, since Francis has made it clear that too much emphasis has been placed on abortion as well as “the gay lobby.”
The liturgy, which is the heart of the Roman Catholic Church, has been torn to pieces. Once the liturgy is destroyed, what remains is a catastrophe. The average Catholic has been part of an experiment, a New World Order pan-religion, for more than 50 years– under the socialist guidelines of Vatican II. This environment undermines authentic Catholic formation. A modernist pan-religious establishment which speaks out of both sides of its mouth and tries to be everything to everyone, cannot be taken seriously. The poor and those who are searching for God deserve better.
Catholic Customer Service
Now the Vatican’s administrators need more passengers to board their train wreck, so a new ‘survey’ is being distributed to Catholic Bishops around the world. This brings the Church into a new phase called Catholic Customer Service. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales appears to be the first to publish the survey online.
Anyone who understands the nature of surveys knows well that they are used in the secular world by corporations– in order to improve customer relations and increase profits. Is the Vatican trying to establish a network-wide demand for ticket sales– and raise money by proving how popular the Catholic Church can be? In fact, too popular for its own good– given that the biggest fans of the modernist Church are poorly formed Catholics, socialists and the homosexual collective.

Tickets are available for those who wish to pay for a ride on the Vatican’s train wreck, in Francis’s end-of-the-world tour, designed after his well-known bus tours around Buenos Aires, Argentina– a country which Francis referred to as “the end of the world.”
In this modern style of socialist Catholicism, disguised as social justice through surveys and focus groups, Catholics may soon find the customer service window locked and bolted– with secular signs that read, “Out to lunch,” “Closed,” “Applications are not being accepted,”– or worse, “The man with the keys is not here.”

Obamacare, “Planetary Health Policies” and The Rockefeller Foundation
Someone has to say the truth...
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
“If we don’t change our direction, we’re likely to end up where we’re headed.” –Chinese proverb
I am drinking my afternoon espresso, thinking about the Obamacare catastrophe– as I glance through different headlines. The failed launch of this monstrous government-run program should not be a surprise– and its ‘interconnectedness’ (that’s globalization lingo) with Chinese “death” programs, is entirely palpable.
Americans are facing the reality of socialism– as it aggressively manifests itself– and socialist operatives reap the “fruit” of their decades-long perseverance and dedication to the subjugation of the United States of America. The disastrous start of Obamacare is just a glimpse of what’s to come.
Let’s take China as an example– where doctors and nurses are being killed by angry citizens who can no longer tolerate the incompetent and callous government-run “death” system in hospitals and medical facilities.
China has been the long and cruel probe of socialized medicine– now being implemented on a global scale.
Ana, Saito, Meng and Raúl
The consummate communists at The Rockefeller Foundation have been busy designing “planetary health policies” by funding and collaborating with the Global Health Summit China, which was held on January 26-27, 2013 in Beijing.
Excerpt from The Rockefeller Foundation website, where they boast about their centennial in the field of “public health”:
“In January 2013, the [Rockefeller] Foundation and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) held in Beijing China, a Global Health Summit…. The two hosts each brought a one hundred year track record in public health.”
The theme of the summit was “Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years.” Here is the white paper, detailing the plan for “planetary health policies”: THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION – GLOBAL HEALTH SUMMIT CHINA, JANUARY 26-27, 2013 – Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years.
As the fanfare unfolded in Beijing– did The Rockefeller Foundation show any interest in addressing the killing of doctors and nurses by angry Chinese citizens? One can only assume that The Rockefeller Foundation sees the death of medical personnel as small collateral damage, for the greater global good. This cruel detachment from humanity’s rights under the natural laws of God, is the true centennial legacy of The Rockefeller Foundation.
While the Communist Chinese death system implodes– The Rockefeller Foundation “dreams” of “planetary health policies” in the government board rooms of Beijing– in order to fulfill its One World government objective. Here is an excerpt from the aforementioned white paper. Grab another espresso– you will need it. Bold added for emphasis:
“Opening a window to the future…
It is a warm Wednesday in January 2050 in Santiago. The newscaster is reporting the latest performance figures for the city, and Ana frowns as she hears that wellbeing and air quality have both dropped a few points. In the centenary year of the landmark Doll and Hill study on smoking and lung cancer this is not good for public relations! She makes a mental note to discuss this with the City Forum later in the day. For now she has to prepare for a visiting delegation from Tokyo, Lagos and Los Angeles who have come to finalise [sic] the protocol connecting the electronic data and remote sensing systems for maintaining population health across their mega cities. Ana has kept in touch with them online in the peer to peer learning platform as they all connected years ago to the same cyber‐engineer supporting their 3D vaccine printers. With Saito from Tokyo, Meng from Lagos and Raúl from Los Angeles she had many long debates over the years on issues ranging from how to rebuild solidarity, to what the priorities should be for planetary health…”
This “window to the future” has a very dark past.
Barbaric experiments
The Rockefellers’ involvement in barbaric experiments involving human beings goes back to the 20th Century, when The Rockefeller Foundation helped fund and develop various eugenics programs– including the one where Josef Mengele received his training– in order to conduct his diabolical human experimentation in Auschwitz.
The Population Council, founded by John D. Rockefeller III, has advanced depopulation programs inimical to the well-being of entire populations in Africa and many other parts of the world. The Population Council has had major involvement in the distribution of contraceptives– and has held the license for contraceptive devices, as part of its aggressive international “reproductive health” initiatives. Indeed, the centennial of The Rockefeller Foundation can take credit for the death of millions of human beings, through several generations– as a result of its abortion and abortifacient campaigns.
The Rockefeller Foundation ranks as one of the most influential NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in the world– and joins others, like the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation, in an international depopulation effort, under “smart globalization.” As my readers know by now, anything “smart” in modern parlance is related to Sustainable Development– the United Nations socialist initiative of global governance, also known as Agenda 21.
Obamacare: Made in China
One of the heirs of the Rockefeller dynasty is David Rockefeller Sr., whose dream of planetary health policies, including rigorous depopulation timetables, has further materialized with the launch of Obamacare. It was David Rockefeller Sr., who shamelessly wrote in the New York Times, on August 10, 1973, the op-ed piece titled “From a China Traveler”– where he stated:
“The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history. How extensively China opens up and how the world interprets and reacts to the social innovations and life styles she has developed is certain to have a profound impact on the future of many nations.”
Under Mao, it is estimated that 50-70 million Chinese citizens went to their deaths, through forced abortions, forced labor, executions and starvation– as a result of his infamous social experiment, known as the Great Leap Forward.
The “profound impact” resulting from “Chairman Mao’s leadership” has indeed been felt. It’s called Obamacare.
So Americans will be joining Ana, Saito, Meng and Raúl—because the present looks very bad– and the year 2050 looks even worse in Washington DC, as the components of the Sustainable Development socialist machine, which makes up the bulk of our “globalized” public policies, continue to move into fifth gear.
Only God can save the United States of America.

What’s going on at Chick-fil-A?
SOMEONE HAS TO SAY THE TRUTH...
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
It’s time to put the skin back on this chicken.
“…take biblical truths and put skin on it…”— Dan T. Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A
Citizens across America who support the sanctity of the traditional marriage, rallied around Chick-fil-A during the firestorm of attacks that this fast-food chain suffered at the hands of the homosexual collective.
The Chick-fil-A battle, which played out in the media, began in 2011 and continued through 2012, as a result of the biblical views about marriage and family, espoused by the Cathy family, who owns the chain of restaurants.
Indeed, sales of Chick-fil-A even soared—thanks to the swarm of conservatives, from many religious backgrounds, who lined up to buy their chicken sandwiches and other products. Chick-fil-A’s corporate philosophy is based on selling chicken and training employees to focus on values rooted in the Bible.
Given the size and power of its corporate structure, Chick-fil-A gained the attention of not just the media, both mainstream and conservative blogosphere—but it also benefitted immensely through the attention and promotion it received from well-known media personalities and politicians, such as Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee, who took on the Chick-fil-A cause as a crusade against the well-known homosexual collective bullying— carried out through boycotts, bans and online attacks against Chick-fil-A.
But Americans have a short memory—and they like the idea of moving on.
As for Chick-fil-A, the Cathy family members toned down their rhetoric against homosexual marriage. By July 2012 the company issued a press release, which included the following statement:
Dan T. Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A even deleted his June 26, 2013 Tweet where he had denounced the U.S. Supreme Court decision against the Defense of Marriage Act. Why? Are his biblical convictions getting in the way of the bottom line?
What about all the monetary support that Mr. Cathy and his family members have received from conservative citizens across America—who went out of their way to buy Chick-fil-A products, so that the Cathys and their business could thrive– and not give up their influential participation in the public battle against homosexual marriage?

While the owners of the Chick-fil-A brand say that they are against homosexual marriage– it appears that they do not prohibit Chick-fil-A franchises from donating Chick-fil-A products for homosexual events or groups involved in the “gay” world.
Case in point: the Chick-fil-A store in Edgewater, Florida– will be a “food vendor” for the Volusia Pride Festival (Oct.26-27)— known as “the biggest annual LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning) pride festival for Volusia County”– where visitors will be entertained with a drag show. Chick-fil-A’s participation as a “food vendor” was announced through this news service.
On Monday, October 21, during the course of a run-around which lasted several hours, I was able to obtain confirmation from Chick-fil-A’s Media Relations as well as from Chick-fil-A’s Customer Care, that the company, in fact, does not prohibit Chick-fil-A franchises from acting as vendors of Chick-fil-A products at homosexual events in their communities; however, each person I was transferred to at Chick-fil-A’s Media Relations chain of command was not willing to go on the record with their name.
Given the reticence from Chick-fil-A’s corporate office, I contacted the Edgewater, Florida Chick-fil-A store, and its General Manager was willing to speak to me. He politely informed me that while he will not have a Chick-fil-A booth at the Volusia Pride event– he is indeed donating sandwiches and sweet tea to show his support for the Gay-Straight Alliance—“because they are against bullying.” The Gay-Straight Alliance is one of the sponsors of the Volusia Pride homosexual event.
On the subject of bullying…
Chick-fil-A corporation, please take note:
Small family businesses across America, who do not have the political influence and access to the media that Chick-fil-A has enjoyed, are being bullied and shut down by the homosexual collective, through boycotts, lawsuits– and even violent threats, when they peacefully refuse to provide services or products for homosexual weddings and events, based on their religious and moral convictions. See the reference section at the end of this article. I highly doubt that the Gay-Straight Alliance stands up for these victims.
I was finally referred to Carrie Kurlander, Chick-fil-A’s chief spokeswoman, to whom I presented the following simple and straightforward question, along with the media source:
Does Chick-fil-A allow its franchises to participate and/or contribute Chick-fil-A products to homosexual events, such as the Volusia Pride event in Florida?– as noted by this news service: http://www.news-journalonline.com/article/20131020/NEWS/131029941?p=2&tc=pg
I received an evasive reply from Kurlander. She deferred to the General Manager at the Edgewater store, “who knows the most about the particulars of your inquiry.” Kurlander added, “we strive to treat everyone with honor, dignity and respect.”
No one is questioning how Chick-fil-A treats “everyone.” It is obvious that Chick-fil-A and its franchises have been selling and donating their products to whomever they wish. As such, there was no need for the Chick-fil-A corporation to go on an all-out media and social network campaign, defending the “biblical definition of the family unit” as part of their work ethos—only to end up allowing the donation of their Chick-fil-A products, for the enjoyment of sponsors at a homosexual drag queen show.
All in the name of “honor, dignity and respect.”
How many other Chick-fil-A locations are doing the same thing? Edgewater, Florida now joins California and New Hampshire. There could be others.
Dan Cathy has stated that his traditional family biblical principles of enforcing ‘Closed on Sunday’ never affected the company’s bottom line. Why is he afraid to enforce the same traditional family biblical principles when it comes to his franchises’ support of homosexual events?
The entire scenario described above is a very sad one—and reminiscent of politicians who claim that they believe this or the other—but that their “personal” beliefs would never get in the way of public policy.
Final thoughts…
My campaign for the United States Senate, as a principled conservative Republican, came to the attention of the Chick-fil-A corporation, including the internationally known business leader and corporate staff member, Mark Miller– who also follows me on Twitter.
By now, Mr. Miller and the Chick-fil-A corporate family are aware of my aversion to political expediency.
This is NOT a call to action against Chick-fil-A or its franchises. My hope is that this article will remind the Cathy family, as founders and leaders of Chick-fil-A, that the traditional marriage values that they have made so public, as part of their work—a stance which has brought them so much financial and moral support— must not be left abandoned on the side of the road.
It’s time to remind Dan Cathy of his own words: “take biblical truth and put skin on it…”
