I had to look twice to believe what I was seeing. But then again, considering my experience as a survivor of communism in Cuba, I should be the last person to be surprised that Robert Mugabe was allowed to travel to the Vatican for the canonizations of John XXIII and John Paul II.

ISRAEL: Abortion, Prostitution, Socialism– and the Plight of “Inferior Souls”
SOMEONE HAS TO SAY THE TRUTH...

What does “standing with Israel” really stand for?
… a Jew always has a much higher soul than a Goy, even if he is a homosexual.”
Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, Israel’s Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs in an interview with Maariv (an Israeli publication) Friday, December 27, 2013.
_________
MERRIAM-WEBSTER’s definition of GOY: Gentile 1
— goy·ish adjective, sometimes disparaging. Origin: Yiddish, from Hebrew gōy people, nation.
Gentile: a person of a non-Jewish nation or of non-Jewish faith; especially: a Christian as distinguished from a Jew.
Introduction
Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan is not speaking as a fringe member of Israel’s religious right.
Not at all.
Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan is Israel’s Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs.
Ben-Dahan was elected to the Knesset in January, 2013, as a member of Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home)– a Zionist-religious political party.
The Knesset (lit. the gathering, the assembly) is the legislative branch of the government of Israel.
Ben-Dahan is a “Chardal,” a fusion of the Charedim (Ultra-Orthodox), and “Dati-Leumi“–who are Modern Orthodox religious-nationalists.
Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan’s offensive statement, that “a Jew always has a much higher soul than a Goy, even if he is a homosexual” has been reinforced by a tacit endorsement from Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, who have remained silent.
Here is Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan’s profile at the Knesset:
Speaking from a Christian standpoint, if the most humble priest of the Roman Catholic Church, or the most humble pastor of a Protestant denomination, had made such statements about Jews– his crucifixion would have been quickly carried out in the public square of the mainstream media.
As Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs, Ben-Dahan is supposed to unify Jews through observance of Jewish religious laws and practices. But his approach is contradictory. You see, Ben-Dahan says that in spite of his statement about the superiority of homosexual Jews, he is against homosexual marriage.
In Israel, newspapers with English-language editions, like The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz and The Times of Israel, have stepped forward with opinion pieces condemning Ben-Dahan. The Hebrew-language publication Maariv was the first to carry the story of Ben-Dahan’s repugnant statements. Most of Israel’s political publications have a socialist bent, to varying degrees– a reflection of the socialist-agricultural ethos that defined the foundation of the State of Israel in 1948.
The daily flow of Jewish thought, both secular and religious, is expressed through the pages of the Israeli media, which covers Israel’s judicial ambivalence as both a “Jewish and democratic state.” This dualism affects the very fabric of Israeli society, under the ever-changing and controversial “status-quo” framework of Israeli laws.
This dualism also serves as a platform for the pragmatic compromises between multiple secular and religious political factions– who will not commit to a coherent and ethical constitutional instrument. In spite of the original intent of Israel’s Proclamation of Independence, Israel does not have a formal Constitution.
The Knesset justifies this chaotic situation on their website, as follows:
“The State of Israel is in the midst of a continuous process of change and crystallization, and this does not go together with a rigid constitution.”
While this article is about the government of Israel, and the people elected to run it– one cannot ignore the deafening silence in the U.S. It is evident that the mainstream media in the United States (which always goes out of its way to be politically correct) this time is making a convenient exception– and does not want to touch the story of Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan’s offensive statement, “a Jew always has a much higher soul than a Goy, even if he is a homosexual.”
Instead, the American mainstream media prefers to leave Christians (of every nationality and color) twisting in the wind, for fear of offending the government of Israel and the international homosexual collective.
So-called conservative politicians in Washington are also remaining silent– even though many of them visit Israel– and are intensely involved in matters pertaining to U.S.-Israeli relations. This is very unsettling, considering the blood that American men and women have shed in the Middle East, in order to keep Israel safe. And let us not forget that Israel would not exist today without the billions of dollars sent to the Israeli government each year– from the pockets of American taxpayers.
But let’s be realistic.
As a rabbi and politician of the Habayit Hayehudi party, Eli Ben-Dahan has spoken without fear of a backlash in the ranks of the Knesset. He knows quite well that his sphere of influence is not limited to Jewish family law. Unfortunately, the nature of Israel’s politics makes it increasingly practical for the government to seek the support of Orthodox religious-Zionist political figures like Ben-Dahan– specifically in foreign policy, as relates to the Palestinians and the Middle East neighborhood. The average American is unaware of the internal Israeli political environment, unless he or she follows Israeli politics closely. The Israeli government allows individuals like Ben-Dahan to issue his repugnant statements about non-Jews, because it knows that the mainstream media in the U.S. and Europe will not cover it.
And Ben-Dahan is not just shooting from the hip. His statements about non-Jews are based on a Jewish religious worldview. Here is an excerpt from an article by Rabbi Hanan Balk, titled “The Soul of a Jew and the Soul of a Non-Jew: An Inconvenient Truth and the Search for an Alternative”– published in Hakirah.org (Volume 16, Winter 2013). Hakirah.org is a journal of Jewish thought and law:
“The Soul of a Jew is Superior to that of a Non-Jew”
“The view expressed in the above heading—as uncomfortable and racially charged as it may be in the minds of some—was undoubtedly, as we shall show, the prominent position maintained by authorities of Jewish thought throughout the ages, and continues to be so even today. While Jewish mysticism is the source and primary expositor of this theory, it has achieved a ubiquitous presence not only in the writings of Kabbalists, but also in the works of thinkers found in the libraries of most observant Jews, who hardly consider themselves followers of Kabbalah. Clearly, for one committed to the Torah and its principles, it is not tenable to presume that so long as he is not a Kabbalist, such a belief need not be a part of his religious worldview.” [Bold added for emphasis].
What does “standing with Israel” really stand for?
The material side
While Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan is busy issuing his vile proclamations against non-Jews as Israel’s Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs, the extremely powerful Israeli defense industry is busy trying to sell weapons and equipment to Muslim nations and Marxist-leaning governments like Venezuela’s.
The business of Israeli defense sales is cutthroat, lucrative and secretive– so the United States and Great Britain have to watch the Israeli defense industry like hawks– for fear of weapon sales that will serve to continue the cycle of violence in the Middle East, or in the case of Venezuela, to further destabilize Latin America– which is mostly a coalition of countries run by Marxists under the São Paulo Forum.
Oh, but you say– how could this be? How could Israel be helping their enemies through the back door, while we pray for them, shed our blood for them– and give them our money?
For the man on the street it’s called greed– but in diplomatic circles it’s delicately referred to as “arms sales diplomacy.”
To add insult to injury, the Israeli government chooses to ignore the long-standing lucrative business relationship that many Israeli citizens have with Cuba’s murderous despots, the Castro brothers.
Something that is lost in the emotional outbursts of “we stand with Israel” is the fact that Israel is and always has been a socialist state– while doing the Dance of the Seven Diplomatic Veils, and keeping the world bewitched, bothered and bewildered with its evolving statehood. The socialist nature of the Jewish state is not just manifested in its socialist-agricultural foundation, but it is very much evident in the long list of entitlements, which includes subsidizing unfettered abortions– and a history of financing religious individuals, groups and schools, where the Jewish religious worldview of superiority is being inculcated on Israeli Jewish children, with the taxpayers’ money.
The human side
Keeping the Jewish state Jewish is a busy task– that requires the agility and flexibility of a contortionist.
Apparently keeping the Jewish state Jewish calls for a warm and long embrace with prostitution, which has been legal in Israel since 1949. The legalization of prostitution must have been an urgent priority, since the State of Israel had just been created the year before. Of course, the Israeli government did not want to be seen as biased– so it also legalized homosexual prostitution in 1954. One wonders what took them so long?
And as life goes, one thing leads to another. So legalized prostitution, a billion-dollar industry in Israel, opened the flood gates to human sex trafficking– which has garnered Israel the prestigious award of being listed year after year in the Trafficking in Persons Report by the U.S. State Department.
And what is Israel’s proposed solution to this nightly dilemma? Tax the whores!
Keeping the Jewish state Jewish would not be complete without weeding out those inferior non-Jewish souls attempting to marry Jews. How dare they! This is why it is forbidden for Jews to marry non-Jews in Israel. Ah, but the Jewish state does recognize homosexual “marriages” performed in foreign countries, because according to the Jewish state’s religious laws they are probably inferior souls anyway… so who the hell cares!
In this modern world of ours, where would humanity be without the Jewish state lighting the way for “inferior” Gentiles?
On December 30, 2013 Israel’s government felt this overwhelming sense of enlightenment and decided to completely and unabashedly liberate itself, once and for all, from the shackles of petty exceptions to abortion– and expanded its abortion law, making it one of the most liberal in the world.
A baby in Israel can be aborted right up to the moment of birth– and the government will pay for it. But why should you be surprised? Jewish religious laws concerning a fetus are complicated to say the least, so the Israeli courts are simply expanding and filling the gaps in religious laws, which have left the fetus up to interpretation, throughout thousands of years of Jewish religious thought and rabbinical pronouncements.
So-called pro-life Christians who “stand with Israel,” get your romantic heads out of the socialist-Zionist rabbit hole in the Judean Desert– and concentrate on the light of Christendom, which is burning bright.
In the United States, what are most of the large and powerful “pro-life” organizations saying, including Catholic ones?
Not much.
Apparently they $imply don’t want to up$et the Israeli government. Or i$ it that they are much too bu$y with the lucrative $ide-bu$ine$$e$ that they have $pun off their “pro-life” cau$e? Hey, the $alon i$ open. If the $hoe fit$, wear it!
And what are the $o-called con$ervative politician$ in Washington $aying?
Not much.
They al$o do not want to up$et the Israeli government.
My goodne$$, every time I think of certain large “pro-life” organization$ and “con$ervative” politician$, suddenly my computer keyboard $eem$ to get $tuck on the $$$$$ key. I wonder why?
But let’s get back to the streets of Israel. There must be hundreds or thousands of Israelis marching down the streets, opposing their government’s abortion laws– wouldn’t you think?
Ah… you are still in that rabbit hole, aren’t you?
The silenced voices of more than two million babies murdered through abortion in Israel are waiting for footsteps and voices of outrage to be heard on the streets of Israel’s cities and towns, as the bloodbath continues.
Speaking of bloodbaths, it is overwhelming to think that a nation that exists in the horrific shadows of Auschwitz and Nazi concentration camps, is the world’s leader in the practice of eugenics– which is a major gateway to abortion.
Dr. Avid E. Raz, Director of the Behavioral Sciences Program and Professor at the Dept., of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, offered an excellent description of the reality of eugenics in Israel, in his 2010 book titled, Community Genetics and Genetic Alliances: Eugenics, Carrier Testing, and Networks of Risk:
“The eugenic utopia of Zionism consisted of the aspiration to redeem the Jewish people by forcing it to face the realities of its biological existence. Inspired by social Darwinism, Zionist thinkers and activists like Nordau, Herzl and Ruppin wanted to engage Jews in sports, agriculture and manual labor so as to counter the degenerative effects of Jewish life in the Ghetto and the Diaspora. These motives were later repeated in literature, public discourse, and of course, national eugenic practices regarding genetic testing and screening.
The Zionist mixture of personal reproductive choices and collective ideology was constructed as positive and legitimate, even necessary as part of the project of nation-building.
In Israel, eugenics in the form of reproductive genetics has thus been and still is largely regarded in a positive manner. Eugenic ideologies and practices have persisted in Israel, in a thinly veiled mode, even after the holocaust [sic]— perhaps because they were an inherent and formative part of Zionism.”
Standing on the side of the truth
The nation of Israel has enjoyed an outpouring of love, as well as moral and financial support– never seen before in modern history.
More importantly, so many have lost their lives defending Israel.
But Israel has charted its own course in the community of nations– and it is one that leads to death and destruction.
Oh… but you say, what about the geopolitical situation in the Middle East? What’s going to happen if we do not stand with Israel?
Without calling anyone simple-minded, let me just say that Americans are sophisticated enough to understand that they do not have to choose between Jewish Zionist-socialists who consider the rest of humanity inferior– and Palestinian Islamic Marxists.
Frankly speaking, it is high time for the international community to grow a moral backbone and try to save what is left of Christians in the Holy Land and the Middle East– who are caught in the middle– and are being persecuted and murdered every day.
As far as the Israeli government is concerned, it will continue to find lucrative business opportunities with those “inferior souls” that it encounters on the Silk Road, all the way to China. You see, there is a vigorous and lucrative Sino-Israeli relationship, with untold geopolitical benefits for Israel.
China’s energy-needy economy has turned the Red Dragon into the most aggressive infrastructure investor on the planet. The Chinese will finance just about anything, in exchange for access to energy resources. Indeed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already been served the most exquisite Kosher dim sum in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People. This is leading to many fruitful collaborations with the Communist Chinese government– which will surely include more attempts at defense weapons sales, disguised under the seductive wink of “arms sales diplomacy.”
But this has been one long seductive wink, since Israel has a long history of selling weapons to China.
In 1991, the late Julian M. Sobin wrote The China-Israel Connection: New Motivations for Rapprochement, where he outlined the history of covert Sino-Israeli relations:
“Israel possesses expertise in innovating, improving, and copying weapons, and the Israeli defense industry is geared for quick, low-volume sales at competitive prices to ensure its economic survival. Furthermore, Israeli national security requirements guarantee discretion.”
Sobin was a Fellow at the Center for International Affairs (CFIA) at Harvard University from 1987-1988. He was also chairman of Sobin Chemicals, and senior vice president of International Minerals & Chemical Corp. His biography outlines his extensive dealings with China, after April 1972, when he became the first U.S. businessman to be invited to Beijing, at the outset of the thaw in Sino-American relations.
The Israel-China connection continues to be chronicled by Chinese scholars in the United States.
Dr. Zhiqun Zhu is the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Chair in East Asian Politics– and is Associate Professor of International Relations and Political Science at Bucknell University. Dr. Zhu describes the reaction of the United States regarding Israeli arms sales to China, in his 2010 book titled, China’s New Diplomacy: Rationale, Strategies and Significance:
“China’s arms purchase from Israel and its weapons sales to Middle Eastern countries are a constant irritant for the United States.”
In “China’s Middle East Policy and Its Implications for US-China Relations,” in Sujian Guo and Shiping Hua (eds.), New Dimensions of Chinese Foreign Policy (pp. 165-178), Dr. Zhu writes:
“That China is both the recipient of advanced weapons from Israel and an alleged proliferator of weapons to the Middle East creates serious security challenges to the United States and frustrates global nonproliferation efforts.”
“Israel has been China’s second largest weapons supplier, next only to Russia.”
Israelis, prepare yourselves for a new menu. Benjamin Netanyahu’s desire to please China is so strong, that he has turned his back on his own Jewish people– by withdrawing from a U.S. terror investigation against the Bank of China, which maintained 17 accounts for Hamas. China does not consider Hamas to be a terror organization. The Times of Israel reports:
“Court documents, released for the first time Tuesday evening, reveal the existence of a secret unit, made up of Mossad, Shin Bet and anti-terror agents, to track money used to finance terror. The unit tracked 17 bank accounts being used to transfer money for Hamas between Syria and Gaza in 2005, but the Chinese, who do not consider Hamas a terror group, did not take action. After it was revealed that the transferred money was used in a 2006 Tel Aviv terror attack that killed a Florida teen, the family sued the Bank of China in US court. Jerusalem originally agreed to cooperate fully and was supposed to send an expert who had flagged the transfers in 2005 to testify, but the Chinese threatened to cancel a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the country, which took place earlier this year. The expert refused to testify and Israel withdrew support for the court case last month, drawing accusations from the US that it was damaging the fight against terror.”— The Times of Israel, December 18, 2013.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, as to what we can expect from Israel’s government.
Oh… but what about Iran and a potential nuclear threat?
Not to worry.
It is in China’s best interest that the region remain as calm as possible (for Middle Eastern standards) in order to protect their investments. Israel, as you saw above, will comply. And when needed, as a means of “diplomacy,” Israel will become the arms-trader extraordinaire for the region, through China or through fraudulent end-user certificates and other secretive maneuvers– which will keep everybody busy, with their on-and-off ancient cycle of tribal wars. I am not being sarcastic. It is already happening.
As we gaze across the ancient Judean Desert we think about the water conflicts that are coming, down the Tigris-Euphrates and Jordan River– be they the result of real water scarcity, or man-made “global-warming.”
Israel already has an advantage by having control over the water resources of the Jordan River basin. Throughout history, he who has the strongest military controls the water resources– and Israel has the strongest military in the Middle East. This is why water resources are always played as strategic cards.
No matter what, the Israeli government is prepared– and is concentrating on water technology, ready to confront any opposition or litigation coming from riparian states. And the Chinese? Well, the Chinese are obsessed with rivers and water diversion– and they have a history of building dams that eventually killed hundreds of thousands of their people, so they are standing by, ready to share their expertise with the Israelis.
Ah, then finally everyone in the Middle East can rally around a “sustainable” regional government, but not without first getting the go ahead from the United Nations. That’s one way to get control of the region. You see, you can fight over religion and oil forever. But you only have three to five days to fight over water.
On the financial front Israel is doing so well, that it can afford to pay millions of dollars each year for abortions and eugenic procedures; therefore, it is immoral for Washington to continue to send billions of dollars to Israel each year, by taking money from hard working “inferior souls”– known as American taxpayers.
And since the American taxpayer is bankrolling Israel, it is absolutely hypocritical to denounce Obamacare (a catastrophe)– while turning a blind eye to Israel’s socialized medicine.
Final thoughts
So how did all this happen? Is it that Israel is not the country it promised to be, in modern times? Or could it be that the world failed to carefully examine and understand the Zionist foundation of the State of Israel– and the concomitant political and religious implications behind the “crystallization” of its Jewish statehood?
One thing is certain, by the time the world woke up to reality, Israel was already a socialist fait accompli.
I have lived through communism; so, politically speaking, it is impossible for someone to take me down a rabbit hole. I have spent most of my life pursuing the noble arts of linguistics and music, which led to traveling not only in the United States but also in foreign countries. In addition, I spent an entire year traveling throughout the State of Florida meeting hundreds of people during my campaign for the United States Senate (Republican, on the ballot, 2012). These life experiences have allowed me to meet and befriend people of many cultures, races and religions, including Jews– many of whom today feel betrayed, heartbroken and disoriented, as they witness the moral disintegration of Israel.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. It is a final performance– and the “Jewish state” has exited the stage.

CUBA: 55 Years of Communist Terror, Erased from History
SOMEONE HAS TO SAY THE TRUTH...
Washington, Israel, the Vatican and the world– does anybody care about Cuba?
Someone has to say the truth…
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
Erased from history
It’s time to retrace your steps, so that you will remember the history that the socialists would like you to forget.
January 1 is a very dark day for those of us who are living in exile, having left Cuba, the Communist island prison. It is also a dark day in modern history, as the international community continues to ignore 55 years of murder and oppression committed by Fidel Castro and his band of Communist criminals.
The longer you ignore injustice, the more it is erased from history. As such, each generation that comes along is slowly removed from the moment in history when the atrocities were committed. Yet, over 120 million lives have been lost at the hands of communist regimes in different parts of the world, not counting millions murdered through forced abortions, as part of socialist depopulation programs.
Most countries are celebrating the New Year, but those still trapped in Cuba are reminded that while dissidents are imprisoned and tortured, another Communist anniversary celebration has arrived, where Fidel Castro and his thugs can toast to the lasting power and “international relevance” of their murderous “revolution.”
As the years pass and the world moves further into socialism, Communism in Cuba has been packaged and repackaged in so many misleading ways by “intellectuals” and self-proclaimed experts on Cuban political matters, that it is hard to understand how humanity can tolerate such monumental and nauseating deception—which begins very early in public education classrooms, all over the world.
Since January 1, 1959, Cuba’s Communist dictatorship has been an illegitimate government. It has violated every treaty and human rights law ever written. Because communism is based on deceit, each and every claim to progress in Cuba is based on lies. Absolute lies. And now, the Communists in Havana have an ever-growing socialist international community to support them and applaud them.
Israel and Cuba: Remembering the Yom Kippur War (aka, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War) and Operation Entebbe
Americans have always relied on Israel’s vote in the United Nations, in support of the embargo against Cuba’s Communist government, as a means of putting economic pressure on Castro.
But after more than half a century of Communist rule in Cuba, and so many concessions to Castro, the embargo has become merely symbolic, since the entire world trades or does business with Castro.
American taxpayers are not asking for much when they expect Israel’s vote on the floor of the United Nations in support of the U.S. embargo– considering that we give billions of dollars to Israel annually—and when you take into account the fact that Castro broke diplomatic relations with Israel in 1973, in support of the Palestinians, during the Fourth Non-Aligned Movement Summit (NAM) held in Algiers.
My conservative Jewish friends agree that historically and morally speaking, Israel should have been the one to break relations with Communist Cuba.
Was the government of Israel waiting to receive moral support from a Communist terrorist like Castro?
Aren’t the people of Cuba worthy of the same political and human rights that the Israeli government claims for its people?
Reality check
During the Yom Kippur War (aka, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War) Fidel Castro’s government sent 4,000 troops to prevent Israeli forces from entering Syrian territory— while Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel, was leading a commando team deep in the Syrian territory.
On another front, during Operation Entebbe in July 1976, commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a high-risk operation at Entebbe Airport in Uganda, in order to rescue over 100 Israeli citizens and Jewish passengers of various nationalities, who were being held hostage at Entebbe Airport, following the hijacking of an Air France plane, by a terrorist group who had received training in South Yemen, at camps supported and staffed with 1,500 Soviets, 700 Cubans and 116 East Germans.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother, Yonatan, died during Operation Entebbe, as the commander of the elite Israeli army commando unit Sayeret Matkal.
When the terrorists took control of the AirFrance plane, they announced that they were under the leadership of none other than the “Che Guevara Group and Gaza Unit of the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine.” As my readers know by now, Che Guevara was one of Fidel Castro’s closest henchmen, responsible for the execution of thousands of innocent Cubans. Che Guevara’s long trail of blood has earned him the reputation as one of the most vicious and ruthless Communists in history.
Yet, in September 2010, President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the top two government leaders of Israel, issued statements praising Fidel Castro’s recognition of Israel’s right to exist, including an emotional letter from Shimon Peres to Castro, where Peres goes into rapture about the Cuban Communist dictator.
Are the billions of dollars that American taxpayers send to Israel each year not enough affirmation for Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres? Why is the opinion of Fidel Castro so important, to even warrant a personal letter from the President of Israel to a murderous Communist thug like Castro?
Quotes:
“The remarks attributed to Castro demonstrate his deep understanding of the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.” – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, September, 2010.
“Cuba is an island, surrounded by water. Israel is a political island, surrounded by threats. You tried to sail to bigger seas, to show that a small geographical size doesn’t have to reflect human smallness, and we are trying to prove that small political size doesn’t have to reflect the size of our values. Therefore, we want to see our neighbors as friends, and the better things are for them, the better things will be for us.”
“Your words presented a surprising bridge between a harsh reality and a new horizon,” Peres continued. “I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You proved that even those who are distant from each other can be close.” – President Shimon Peres, September 2010.
As I perused Shimon Peres’ letter to Fidel Castro, I was reminded of the socialist-agricultural spirit that defined the foundation of Israel. One can see how Peres shares this socialist ethos with Castro, through the emotions expressed in his letter.
President Shimon Peres’ entire letter to Fidel Castro can be read HERE.
Those of us who have lived through Communism are never surprised by political expediency– but it is impossible to understand Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement praising Fidel Castro, in the shadows of his own brother’s death at Entebbe and Castro’s military staffing and support of training camps, for the terrorists that killed his brother. Given this scenario, why should anyone expect Benjamin Netanyahu to care about the Cuban people and their suffering under Fidel Castro’s murderous regime?
The story of Peres’ and Netanyahu’s praise of Fidel Castro was quickly dismissed by the American mainstream media. The news of this scandal could have easily disappeared, were it not for a member of Congress, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who cried foul — prompting a predictable apology from Netanyahu. Such apologies of convenience, as we all know, do not mean much.
Here is what’s really going on…
While Israeli officials cast their symbolic vote in the United Nations in favor of the Cuban embargo, there is a long-standing, very lucrative and well-established citrus business connection between Israel and Cuba, which the government of Israel appears to ignore.
The following quote from Waknine & Berezovsky Co., Ltd., a company with an address in Israel, describes it best, in a paper presented at the IFEAT International Conference in Budapest, Hungary, 23 – 27 Sept. 2007. IFEAT stands for The International Federation of Essential Oils and Aroma Trades:
“Reut Berezovsky
Waknine & Berezovsky Co. Ltd., 36 Magal Street, 56528 Savyon, Israel
r.berezovsky@wb-il.com
You may wonder why a woman from Israel is talking in Hungary about the citrus industry in Cuba. The answer is because our company has a long-term joint venture with two citrus factories in Cuba that represent 80% of the total citrus industry in Cuba.”
Even during Bill Clinton’s liberal administration, Washington still showed some indignation by invoking the Helms-Burton Act, when Israeli or other international companies would do business in Cuba– on property that had been expropriated from Americans (not to mention the property that was viciously confiscated from millions of hard-working Cuban citizens).
But the little indignation that was left in Washington, against Castro, has slowly disappeared as the U.S. government continues to submerge Americans in a sea of socialism.
Enrique Rottenberg
Enrique Rottenberg is another Israeli who joined the chorus of Castro supporters and materialistic opportunists who operate in the open, without any publicly known restrictions from the government of Israel.
Rottenberg’s business record with the Cuban Communist government, ranges from large-scale real estate projects, to nauseating and offensive photographic “art” projects in Cuba, of a sexual nature. When confronted about his business activities in Cuba through the secretive BM Group, in violation of The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996 (Helms-Burton Act), Rottenberg responded: ”We are working in accordance with the laws of Israel and Cuba.”
There you have it.
Enrique Rottenberg could not have said it better—even though the government of Israel excuses itself by claiming that BM Group is not based in Israel.
The Helms–Burton Act was quickly condemned by our “friends”—such as the Council of Europe, the European Union, Britain, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina –and other U.S. “allies” that enjoy active trade relations with Cuba. To make matters worse, the economic and geopolitical conditions that existed in the 1990’s, when the Helms-Burton Act came into being, are no longer there—as more enemies of the U.S., including China, establish strategic and economic alliances with our “friends.”
More than half a century of terrifying persecution, political imprisonment, torture, executions, hunger, human trafficking, forced depopulation practices (reflected in the highest abortion rates in the Western Hemisphere)—in addition to hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled in rafts and are buried in the cemetery known as the Strait of Florida, does not seem to matter.
Why, you ask yourself, can’t the Cuban people get the same support that the people of South Africa received from the international community, in order to bring down Apartheid?
Are Cubans less worthy of freedom and human rights than South Africans?
In fact, as a cynical reminder of the world’s indifference to the Cuban tragedy, there are now flights from Key West to Havana. The opportunities appear now endless, for those who wish to celebrate and enjoy themselves in Cuba, while having their hedonistic fantasies fulfilled at Cuban government-run resorts and hotels, including engaging in prostitution with minors.
What about defense exports to the enemy?
If the government of Israel is not willing to put restrictions on Israeli companies and citizens that do business with Cuba– then what are we to expect from the current questionable state of the extremely lucrative and powerful Israeli defense export industry?– which has been put under scrutiny by the governments of the United States and Great Britain, for large-scale defense exports to Venezuela, and Pakistan, as well as several other Muslim countries. In addition, Israel also sells weapons to China, which is very disturbing to the United States.
Israel is known for practicing arms-sales diplomacy in order to expand its sphere of influence. While this practice is not uncommon, unless the Defense Ministry of Israel has a tight grip on transactions, the arms will end up in the wrong hands through fraudulent end-user certificates and other secretive practices.
Venezuela is Castro’s closest ally in the Western Hemisphere– and has a strong military relationship with Cuba. In 2005 Hugo Chavez threatened to send F-16’s to Cuba and China, in defiance of the U.S. blocking of Israel’s exports of F-16’s to Chavez.
The last thing the Cuban people need is more oppression from a stronger Cuban military force, which could benefit from fraudulent defense export maneuvers.
Excerpt from UPI report (July 19, 2013):
“Israeli defense exports, a major revenue generator, are under scrutiny after the state comptroller reported serious flaws in the supervision of exports, suggesting some could have been suspect.
The report, citing poor enforcement, follows the tightening in May of regulations on defense exports that could limit foreign sales, and an order this week by Tel Aviv District Court that the Defense Ministry disclose the identities of some of the nearly 7,000 arms dealers, a staggering number, it has authorized.
The report by State Comptroller Joseph Shapira, published Wednesday, said there is legislation that standardizes military exports in accordance with international norms, but the ministry’s Defense Export Controls Agency, known as DECA, was “failing to use the full extent” of its authority “to ensure proper enforcement.”
The report, as published, did not cite any specific instances in which export restrictions may have been violated. However, Israeli arms dealers, overwhelmingly former military men, certified by the Defense Ministry have been found to engage in some murky operations over the years, under which unsavory regimes, mainly in Africa and Latin America, as well as criminal organizations like cocaine cartels, received Israeli-made or Israeli-supplied weapons. [Bold added for emphasis].
A British government report in June said Israeli arms were exported to several Muslim countries — Pakistan, Egypt, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco — in 2008-12.”
“Security analyst Yossi Melman, who has written extensively on intelligence and defense issues, has observed that several Israelis who ended behind bars in other countries in recent years were all licensed by the Defense Ministry and “driven by pure greed.”
All were former members of the armed forces, some holding senior rank, he said, and all “were familiar faces in the corridors of the defense establishment.”
It remains to be seen how forthcoming the ministry will be.”
The Vatican: It’s called rapprochement
While this harrowing communist scenario has unfolded for 55 years, the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, including every modernist Vatican II Cardinal elected to sit on the Throne of Peter—yes, every single one, from John XXIII to John Paul II to Francis-– has chosen to dialogue with communists in every continent, instead of denouncing them head on.
It’s called rapprochement.
Let’s not forget that John Paul II, after vigorously negotiating the freedom of the Polish people from communism, proceeded to pat Fidel Castro on the back, praising his socialized health care and education. John Paul II’s double standards are legendary—and his betrayal of the Cuban people has left deep scars in the hearts and minds of many who looked up to him, for the work he had done in Poland.
The average faithful Catholic, unless he or she is actively following the events and publications of the Holy See, has missed the Ostpolitik agenda of the modernist Vatican during the last 50 years.
Excerpt from John Paul II’s address to the Cuban Ambassador to the Holy See, Raúl Roa Kourí, on January 8, 2005:
“I am grateful for your kind words and for the greetings from Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz, President of the Council of State and the Government of the Republic. I express my best wishes to him for his good health and for the integral prosperity of the beloved Cuban Nation. For this Nation I ask God, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, venerated in your Country under the lovely title:”Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre”, to deepen the sentiments of mutual understanding and genuine brotherhood that will enable the Homeland to be the true home built by all.
At the same time, I can tell you of the interest with which I follow the commitment of the Cuban Authorities to maintaining and developing the goals they have succeeded in achieving with effort in the areas of health care, education at various levels and culture in its different expressions. The Holy See considers that by assuring these conditions of human life one sets in place some of the pillars in building up peace, which means not merely the absence of war but also the possibility for all a society’s members to enjoy integral human advancement, good health and the harmonious development of mind and body.”
Both John XXIII and John Paul II will soon be canonized, as part of the modernist Roman Catholic “saint factory”– without regard for the millions of victims of communism who these Popes betrayed. This is one of the manifestations of the erosion of Catholic traditions under the disastrous rules of Vatican II.
Socialism looks great, from the comfort of a private jet
This rapprochement business has also lined the pockets of many professors, analysts, corporate opportunists and politicians who write books, give lectures, and influence public policies, while analyzing socialism, vis-à-vis Cuba, Africa, Asia– and now the entire Western Hemisphere. In other words, they fill their stomachs in the fanciest restaurants and live the good life, after examining and readjusting the socialist model under a microscope, in the comfort and safety of their university lecture halls, private jets and mansions. Others, such as modernist Catholic monarchs, enjoy their vacations in Cuba so that they can “return to their roots.”
In my Christmas and New Year message I expressed my view, that in spite of the harsh reality that we face with society’s moral and economic decline, we still have a great opportunity to educate the next generation on the great values that have been lost.
The present socialist environment in the United States—and the materialistic atheism that drives so many to do business with Fidel Castro’s Communist murderous dictatorship, are perfect examples of why it is imperative that we educate the next generation on the Natural Law and our God-given right to life and freedom.
Cuba’s reality under the Communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro is being erased from history, before your very eyes.
The lines have been blurred, in order to transition humanity into a materialistic, atheist and socialist environment– for the good of the collective.
Trading and doing business with communist states, violating the sovereignty of nations, redefining marriage and asserting the “human rights” of homosexuals based on their sexual activities and preferences, are all part of this plan.
Asserting the human rights of those who suffer under communism, is not.
This has been long in the making– and is the mechanism used by international socialist operatives and their fellow travelers, through the United Nations initiative for world governance, called Sustainable Development (Agenda 21). Sustainable Development has been implemented all over the world– including Cuba. The last 55 years of subjugation of the Cuban people served as a socialist testing ground for Sustainable Development.
Washington, Israel, the Vatican– and the rest of the world, have bought into this agenda. Their actions prove it. If this weren’t so, Cuba would have been freed from communism long ago.

What Christmas is like for persecuted Christians

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 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 Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
By Marielena Montesino de Stuart
Roman Catholicism is monarchical by nature. Any Catholic who does not understand this or denies this fact, has indeed been deprived of proper formation, under Vatican II’s modernist agenda.
We proclaim the “Kingdom” of Christ on earth. We call Our Lord Jesus Christ “King of Kings.” We refer to Our Heavenly Mother as “Queen” of the Universe. Masses have been held for the coronation of kings and queens throughout the history of the Church. For centuries, monarchs have received the Church’s blessing to rule “by the Grace of God.” King Louis IX of France, an extraordinary example of courage and humility, became a saint.
Monarchical rule makes sense only if it is carried out “by the Grace of God”—and according to God’s laws; otherwise, it becomes a distortion—and even an abuse of power.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
The tiny, but financially powerful Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has begun its final descent into the abyss of materialistic atheism.
Grand Duke Henri was Europe’s last glimmer of hope, when he took over the reins of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Some believed that as a Roman Catholic monarch he would inspire and protect his people, by following Christian moral principles and by respecting man’s rights under the natural laws of God.
Luxembourg’s social chaos had already reared its ugly head in the 1970’s. Henri’s father, Grand Duke Jean, had signed abortion into law in 1978, with certain restrictions—even though he appeared to be a devout Roman Catholic.
Grand Duke Henri’s full name, style and title is: His Royal Highness Henri, by the Grace of God, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Duke of Nassau, Count Palatine of the Rhine, Count of Sayn, Königstein, Katzenelnbogen and Diez, Burgrave of Hammerstein, Lord of Mahlberg, Wiesbaden, Idstein, Merenberg, Limburg and Eppstein; however, Grand Duke Henri relinquished “by the Grace of God” upon ascending the throne. He signs official documents as Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Duke of Nassau.
In December 2008 the recently deposed Primer Minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker, began a move to strip Grand Duke Henri of his legislative powers, after the Catholic monarch opposed a euthanasia bill which had been approved by the parliament. Through a constitutional amendment, Juncker effectively neutralized the Grand Duke’s power, turning him into a rubber-stamping monarch without any right to oppose laws. The constitutional amendment became effective in March 2009. The moral deterioration of Luxembourg’s Parliament was again manifested in 2012, when restrictions on abortion were lifted.
The future of the Grand Duchy, the only one left in Europe, surely hung on the balance—as the materialistic forces of death advanced their agenda in the parliament. The thought of escalating his opposition to the euthanasia bill must have brought images of living in exile—an option which would be unpalatable for the Grand Duke. Indeed, there are plenty of royals in Europe who have been removed from their thrones—as in the examples of France, Italy and Greece.
So the Grand Duke has chosen to remain a symbolic ruler, instead of ruling “by the Grace of God.” His presence and strength mostly lies in expanding Luxembourg’s financial power—and in promoting environmental stewardship.
Grand Duke Henri’s financial and diplomatic activities recently took him and his Cuban-born wife, the Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, to Turkey– in order to establish better diplomatic and financial ties with the increasingly radical Muslim nation. Turkey is considered economically as one of the “fragile fives” — a term coined by Morgan Stanley, for the troubled emerging market currencies of Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey and India, under most pressure vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar.
Luxembourg’s financial experts know how to play their cards— and have business representatives and commissions around the world, ready to jump into lucrative opportunities.
As a founding member of the European Union, the Grand Duchy is a mini, but powerful globalist center, having also been a founding member of NATO. The Grand Duchy also hosts the European Court of Justice, the European Statistical Office (Eurostat) and the Secretariat of the European Parliament, along with other supranational organizations; therefore, it should come as no surprise that Grand Duke Henri is a passionate advocate of Sustainable Development (Agenda 21)—having led Luxembourg’s delegation on Sustainable Development to the disastrous Rio+20 Conference, during the summer of 2012. Grand Duke Henri’s speech in support of Sustainable Development can be read here in French and English.
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. All in the name of environmental stewardship. Education, such as Common Core, is part of this agenda—and serves to indoctrinate the masses through socialist teachings disguised as “social justice” and “equality.”
It should also come as no surprise that Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa chose to vacation in Cuba, during the Spring of 2012. While this may have been the first vacation in Cuba for the Grand Duke, it certainly was not Maria Teresa’s first.
Many of us who suffered under Castro’s brutal Communist regime, live scattered throughout the world as political exiles. We have made the painful choice of never returning to see family members—so as not to give Castro’s regime a single dime.
Why?
Because every penny that Castro receives through tourism and visitors provides his criminal Communist dictatorship the ability to stay in power and further oppress, enslave and torture the people of Cuba.
Did the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg give any consideration to such an altruistic moral choice—as an example to their children, heirs—as well as to the international community?
Xavier Bettel, the openly homosexual mayor of Luxembourg City is Grand Duke Henri ‘s Prime Minister-designate
On Friday November 29, the new cabinet will be formally presented in Luxembourg, including Luxembourg’s first openly homosexual Prime Minister-designate, Xavier Bettel. Bettel was designated by Grand Duke Henri as the formateur, the one who could put together a coalition government pursuant to parliamentary procedures– following a spy scandal à la NSA, which brought down Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Jean-Claude Juncker and his coalition government.
Grand Duke Henri’s choice of an openly homosexual Prime Minister-designate obviously did not involve “the Grace of God”—and is another manifestation of how far many Catholics have strayed, including some who have inherited the benefits and splendid privileges as holders of monarchical titles.
Bettel has already announced that making homosexual “marriage” legal will be one of his first acts as Prime Minister. Luxembourg has already legalized homosexual civil unions. This environment could eventually bring an end to the Grand Duchy—since materialistic atheists are known for ridding themselves of those who are no longer of any use.
Which brings to mind some excerpts from Pope Leo XIII’s Sapientiae Christianae—his encyclical on Christians as citizens, which I hope that the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess will read:
“It is a high crime indeed to withdraw allegiance from God in order to please men, an act of consummate wickedness to break the laws of Jesus Christ, in order to yield obedience to earthly rulers, or, under pretext of keeping the civil law, to ignore the rights of the Church; “we ought to obey God rather than men.”(4) This answer, which of old Peter and the other Apostles were used to give the civil authorities who enjoined unrighteous things, we must, in like circumstances, give always and without hesitation. No better citizen is there, whether in time of peace or war, than the Christian who is mindful of his duty; but such a one should be ready to suffer all things, even death itself, rather than abandon the cause of God or of the Church.”
“ But, if the laws of the State are manifestly at variance with the divine law, containing enactments hurtful to the Church, or conveying injunctions adverse to the duties imposed by religion, or if they violate in the person of the supreme Pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ, then, truly, to resist becomes a positive duty, to obey, a crime; a crime, moreover, combined with misdemeanor against the State itself, inasmuch as every offense leveled against religion is also a sin against the State.”
Once upon a time, by the Grace of God…
Humanity is living through a tempest which intensifies each day. As we look into the eyes of history we find more and more that those entrusted with the future of nations, have abandoned their citizens in the darkest hours. We have become pawns in a game board of power and control, where those who govern often do so to fulfill their sociopolitical fantasies, disregarding the Commandments of God and His natural law, which binds all men, for all time and in all circumstances.
Once upon a time, there were rulers like Saint Louis (Louis IX) who ruled by the Grace of God. Those days are over.
The glow of earthly crowns is wearing out. All material intentions have been tested. Grand and extravagant governing plans have failed. Which leaves us with the sense of overwhelming relief that the only true King, Our Lord Jesus Christ, is coming soon.
We must proclaim His Kingdom on earth. It is the only hope for humanity.
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
