Pope pursues politics as second career

The Pope made his first visit to the US and, in a stunt that clearly was staged, a five-year old girl slipped through high-level security and interrupted the Pope’s parade. She presented him with a T-shirt and a handwritten letter asking him to help her migrant family – and other illegal aliens – by convincing Congress to open the borders and grant amnesty. The Daily Mail reported that the stunt was organized by an immigration-advocacy group called Hermandad Mexicana Transnacional. The Pope had to have approved it. InfoWars 2015 Sep 24 (Story) (Cached)

The Pope is chasing a myth.

Just about everyone on the planet who is exposed to mainstream news reports is aware that the Pope has aligned himself with the world’s Marxists by saying that global poverty and injustice are the result of capitalism.

However, true capitalism has not existed anywhere in the world for almost a hundred years. Where it once existed, such as the United States, it was quietly and systematically strangled to death by thousands of laws that spoke of social reform, stabilizing the economy, protecting the weak, redistributing wealth, sharing resources, providing social services, welfare, and the greater good for the greater number.

We are told that we live in a capitalist system, but nothing could be further from the truth. We now live in a collectivist system that is almost indistinguishable from the theoretical models for fascism, socialism, and communism. The capitalist shell remains, but it is empty.

FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM VS.
MONOPOLY CAPITALISM

Classical capitalism includes the concept of a free-market, controlled by government only to the extent necessary to insure that agreements are honored. What we have now is what might be called monopoly capitalism in which almost all aspects of the market are controlled by government and in which favored players in the game (those that generously fund political campaigns) obtain government-backed monopolies and, thereby, are protected from competition. However, to call that a form of capitalism is also a trick, because it pulls attention away from the fact that monopoly is the normal condition in all collectivist systems, including socialism, communism, and fascism.

Those who are calling for more government control over the economy and over all human activity in the name of fighting poverty are merely demanding more of the same poison that created the illness in the first place.

This is the cruel trick being played on the rank-and-file Leftists who fill the streets and the ballot boxes, but who at the top is orchestrating this trick? Are all Leftist leaders merely ignorant or misinformed, or are there a few masterminds who know full well what they are doing?

There is no doubt that most politicians are fully aware that “evil capitalism” is a modern myth, but it is a useful myth for their purposes. The question of the day, however, is: in which category does the Pope belong?

It’s a good thing that we do not know the answer to that question, because then we would have to defend our position, which could lead to an acrimonious division within our ranks. Fortunately, it makes no difference if the Pope is simply naive or if he sees himself as a global social engineer. Either way, those of us who know the truth must put all question of religion aside. We must step forward to proclaim that he is chasing a myth and that the consequences of following him in this regard will be devastating to the very people he professes to defend.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW

US: Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner is resigning from Congress as a result of opposition inside the GOP because he blocked the defunding of Planned Parenthood. He intended to step down last year, but Eric Cantor was booted from the position as Speaker of the House and Boehner was given the position. Truth In Media 2015 Sep 25 (Story) (Cached)

Bill Gates is partnering with China in a venture to build a new type of nuclear reactor to harness the power of depleted uranium. He says that his company, TerraPower, will provide low-cost and clean energy. Biz Journals 2015 Sep 24 (Story) (Cached)

Mainstream media are suppressing stories about rapes committed by Syrian migrants in order not to diminish public support for mass migration. Likewise, German police are silent about crimes committed by migrants because they do not want to give legitimacy to critics of mass migration. Public-opinion engineering has become a science. InfoWars 2015 Sep 23 (Story) (Cached)

President Obama has agreed to accept 75,000 refugees from Syria this year, increasing the number to 85,000 in 2016, and 100,000 by 2017. Most migrants are being fast-tracked into Western countries but have no knowledge of the culture and laws that await them. Many of them have great disdain for those who are accepting them.

Achmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old boy who was invited to the White House after being harassed by his school for building an electronic clock that authorities thought might be a bomb, now is in disgrace. The device was merely a circuit board taken out of the case of a commercial bedroom alarm clock. The big problem now is what to do with the money donated to the family to be used for the boy’s education and also to sue the school. Fox News 2015 Sep 21 (Story)

Russian media report that Russian troops are fighting ISIS in Syria. The report says that Russia also has established communications with the U.S. military to ensure that no misunderstandings lead to conflict. InfoWars 2015 Sep 21 (Story) (Cached)

Hungary’s parliament has passed a law allowing the army to shoot at refugees with rubber bullets and tear gas grenades. EuroNews 2015 Sep 21 (Story)

Georgia: A former peanut-company executive, Stewart Parnell, was sentenced to 28 years in prison for knowingly selling peanut butter that was tainted with salmonella, which resulted in the deaths of nine people. The sentencing marks the first time a US food producer stood trial on criminal charges in a food-poisoning case. Let us hope this will resonate throughout boardrooms across America and lead to higher standards of executive responsibility. AP 2015 Sep 21 (Story) (Cached)

A non-profit organization is attacking the Chipotle fast food company which has gained popularity after switching to GMO-free ingredients in all of its food. The so-called non-profit admits that it serves as a PR firm for corporations that wish to conceal the fact that they are funding attacks against their competitors. How this group maintains non-profit status is a mystery. CBS News 2015 Sep 21 (Story)

Volkswagen has been accused of installing software in 11-million diesel vehicles designed to create false readings on tests for exhaust emissions. The company now faces billions in fines plus class-action lawsuits. Its stock plunged in reaction to the news, wiping out $16.9 billion in market value. WochIt 2015 Sep 21 (Story)

US: The Senate suspended the salaries of the heads of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after it was learned that their pay had been increased from $600,000 to $4 million per year. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie and Freddie, said the pay hike was essential to attract quality CEOs. Reuters posted 2015 Sep 19 (Story) (Cached)

Most Syrian refugees have settled in nearby countries, but many still are migrating to the EU seeking employment opportunities. A Swedish newspaper reports that human traffickers advertise that Sweden will put migrants in a luxury hotel until the government finds them a taxpayer-funded home. Some websites even promise young, blonde, Swedish girlfriends. Speisa posted 2015 Sep 19 (Story) (Cached)

ANALYSIS

News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.

Judge Napolitano explains how the Pope has been influenced by being raised in the political environment of the Juan Peron regime in Argentina. The Pope blames poverty on capitalism but fails to understand that the poor are less poor under capitalism than under collectivism. The Judge uses the $200 million St. Patrick’s Cathedral restoration as an example of how capitalist Catholics raised money for the project and then created jobs. Fox News 2015 Sept 24 (Story)

Southern California: The US government allowed radiation from a damaged reactor to be released into the air over the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley in the wake of a nuclear meltdown 56 years ago. Former employees at the facility say they were ordered to release tainted gas into the air from three different reactors and to dispose of toxic waste in burn pits. The radioactive waste is still making people sick who live near the site. NBC 2015 Sep 22 (Story)

James Corbett follows the money trail of 9/11 and shows how those with advanced knowledge of the attack made trillions of dollars from it. The trail leads, not only to the Middle East, but to Washington DC and New York. Corbett Report posted 2015 Sep 19 (Story)

OLD BROWSER IS DOOMED
2015 Sep 22 from Joe Smith
Hi, Ed – My apologies for calling you, the website designer, an idiot [see original email, below]. Having followed your work for years and years, I know you are a gifted author and a true patriot. Thanks for the insight regarding the older versions of Internet Explorer. That’s exactly what I have. But, then, at age 82 I identify with “old stuff.” I will ask my son for help in changing my browser. Again, thanks for the suggestion. Keep up the good work.

WHAT IDIOT DESIGNED THIS WEBSITE?
2015 Sep 21 from Joe Smith
[Referring to the new format for Need to Know, formerly called Unfiltered News] The screen of black printing on blue background makes it very difficult for us seniors to read the screen. Obviously the idiot who designed the website wants to make it difficult to read the main screen. Pooey!!!!!!!

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Joe. I am the idiot who designed the web site. However, black text on a dark blue background is not how I designed it. As far as I can tell, this is a problem with older versions of Internet Explorer. Please try another browser, like Firefox, Chrome, or Opera and see if that works for you. Thanks for wanting to read our stuff.

MADE IN USA IS CHEAPER? 2015 Sep 4 from Trina Seamon
Costco sells Goodyear wiper blades for almost half the price that you will pay on the outside and they are made in the U.S.A. I don’t buy cards at Hallmark anymore. They are made in China and are more expensive! I buy them at Dollar Tree, 50 cents each and made in USA.

Yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking for a wastebasket. I found some made in China for $6.99. I didn’t want to pay that much so I asked the lady if they had any others. She took me to another department and they had some at $2.50 made in USA . They are just as good. Same as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in the USA – what a concept – and they were $3.00 cheaper.

My grandson likes Hershey’s candy. I noticed, though, that it is now marked “made in Mexico .” I don’t buy it anymore. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico …now I have switched to Crest.

This past weekend I was at Kroger . . . I needed 60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light-bulb aisle and right next to the GE brand I normally buy — was an off-brand labeled, “Everyday Value.” I picked up both types of bulbs and compared them: they were the same, except for the price . . .the GE bulbs cost more than the Everyday Value Brand, but the thing that surprised me the most was that that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in – you guessed it – the USA at a company in Cleveland , Ohio .

So, on to the next aisle: Bounce dryer sheets… Yep, you guessed it. Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value brand cost less, and was MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday, and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years, at almost half the price.

Stop buying from overseas companies – you’re sending the jobs there. Let’s get with the program and help our fellow Americans create more jobs here in the USA.

NEED TO KNOW

Being informed is not enough. Knowledge, by itself, is not power, but it holds the potential for power if we use it as a guide for action. Truth always will be defeated by tyranny unless we are willing to step forward and enter the battle. The future belongs, not to ideas, but to people who act on those ideas. If you truly want to make a difference in the world, Freedom Force International awaits you.
