More Priests, More Abuse : Ms Magazine Blog

3 saves http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2011/10/08/more-priests-more-abuse-2/commen...

Kownacki has a long string of sexual abuse allegations against him. This past August, a jury verdict led to a $6.3 million settlement to James Wisniewski for sex crimes committed by Kownacki dating back to the 1970s. A former housekeeper of Kownacki’s accused him of “raping, beating and performing an abortion on her in the 1970s.” Kownacki was then surreptitiously moved to other churches until he was removed from the ministry in 1995.

The Hindu : Sci-Tech / Science : Moon to have no-fly zones by month end

8 saves http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/article2432999.ece

According to Science, by the end of this month NASA is expected to come up with a set of “recommendations” for spacecraft and astronauts visiting the “U.S. government property on the moon.” Of course, these recommendations will not be legally binding as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty makes it clear that the lunar surface has no owner.

SETTING UP THE DOMINOES

The banksters have been wanting to set up regional, and eventually, a uniform global, currency system ever since the idea of monetized debt functioning as money was a gleam on some Sumerian bankster’s eye millennia ago.

Tony Blair's six secret visits to Gaddafi - Telegraph

This newspaper can also disclose that the Foreign Office granted a visa for Gaddafi’s daughter Hana to come to Britain last year, even though she was supposedly killed in a US bombing raid in 1986. Evidence has also emerged of the full extent of Britain’s deals with Khamis Gaddafi, the tyrant’s feared son, whose Khamis brigade has been accused of committing atrocities.

Maschmeyer: Writers' Prayer

1 save http://maschmeyer.blogspot.com/2011/09/writers-prayer.html

Our father Aristotles, who art in Poetics, dramatized be thy structure; thy principles come, thy premise be done. On stages, as it is on screens. Give us this day our daily inspiration; And forgive us our deus ex machina's as we have forgiven our debtors of bad stories; And lead us not into exposition, but deliver us from didacticism. For thine is the crisis, and the climax, and the resolution, now and forever. Amen.

"Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like 'Stay Asleep', 'No Imagination', 'Submit to Authority'. Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued. " -imdb.com

What you cannot do, with any intellectual honesty or even hope of getting what you want, is pretend that capitalism can work without a powerful, competent and intrusive state. As Ernest Gellner once wrote, "Political control of economic life is not the consummation of world history, the fulfilment of destiny, or the imposition of righteousness; it is a painful necessity."

An absence of doubt defines his work as a journalist and writer. His weaknesses are overstatement, especially when writing about what he despises (Islamism, God, pious moralising of all kinds), self-righteous indignation (“shameful” and “shame”, employed accusatorily, are favoured words in his lexicon), narcissism, and failure to acknowledge or accept when he is wrong. His redeeming virtues are his sardonic wit, polymathic range, good literary style and his fearlessness.

His general knowledge of the Middle East is superficial, he speaks no Islamic languages and, unlike, say, the politician-writer Rory Stewart or the Indian novelist Pankaj Mishra, he has made no serious, long-lasting attempt to immerse himself in the politics and cultures of this extraordinarily diverse and heterogeneous region, ravaged for so long by civil war and despotism, and destabilised by repeated foreign interventions…”

Italy: The Great Vatican Bank Mystery - TIME

4 saves http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,951806,00.html

The scandal has also brought a wave of unwelcome attention to the Vatican bank's American-born president, Archbishop Paul Marcinkus. So far no one has openly accused Marcinkus of any illegal acts. But he is one of three Vatican officials under investigation by Italian authorities, who have indicated that Marcinkus could ultimately be charged. Serious questions are also being raised about his judgment and competence, specifically about his willingness to let the Vatican bank and its good name be used by international wheeler-dealers.
