Patrick Lott, Bernardsville Middle School assistant principal, has been
arrested for allegedly
recording boys showering at Immaculata High School (0) in Somerset County, N.J.
(1)
Lott was arrested last week
after authorities used a Superior Court search warrant to find videos
of the nude teenagers in his home.
Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano told the
Journal that nine of the boys videotaped were under 16 years old.
According to the report, authorities have notified a total of 22
victims..... the videos were recorded
over a span of nearly three years, beginning in 2008.
A high-ranking
and respected educator at the middle school and in the community,
Lott recently ran for the Somerville Borough Council on the Republican
ticket, NBC New York Reports. His bid was unsuccessful.
Lott now faces charges including child endangerment. He is
currently being held in the Somerset County Jail on $500,000 bail.

make the greatest effort to appear very upright - holier-than-thou,

of justice seem to be the most upright Christians.

The World Book of

As former
Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's star continues to rise
ahead of GOP Republican primaries, he has had less time for what in
recent years has become a
calming, soothing Sunday tradition:
sitting in the pews at the cavernous National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington, praying to Jesus and the Virgin Mary during
noon Mass while listening to his wife sing in the choir. (1)
While religion has
long
played a role in presidential elections, it has reared its head in this
contest in a way it rarely has before. "I think there's now an
evangelical tri-lemma," Texas pastor the Rev. Robert Jeffress, who has
made headlines for calling Mitt Romney's religion a cult, said in an
interview to Slate before Herman Cain suspended his campaign. "Do you
vote for a Mormon who's had one wife, a Catholic who's had three wives,
or an Evangelical [Cain] who may have had an entire harem?"
For Gingrich - who was
born Lutheran, became Southern
Baptist in college and joined the Catholic church in 2009 after almost
a decade of marriage to a Catholic - religion seems as much an
experience of personal salvation as it could be politically beneficial.
He has spoken frequently of
his reverence for Pope Benedict XVI. He credits attending one of the
pope's services during his 2008 visit to the U.S. as the decisive event that moved
him to join formally. .... Gingrich has said his views about the
dangers of American secularism were inspired by conservative Catholic
author George Weigel.

Roman
Catholic Bishop Lahey
was NOT a pedophile, his lawyer Edelson and his psychiatrist Bradford
have emphasized.
Lahey,
who has been involved in a
10-year romantic
relationship after a number of one-night stands, imagines himself in a
“submissive role” in his sado-masochistic sex fantasies,
Bradford said. (
Ottawa

However, Bradford acknowledged he gave little consideration to
the
fact Lahey was carrying a bag of sex toys when he was stopped by border
agents or had traveled to countries known for the child sex-trade,
such as Thailand.
A
Newfoundland man
has filed a civil suit against Lahey for allegedly fondling him
repeatedly at the Mount Cashel orphanage, but the unproven
allegations contained in the lawsuit were not considered in criminal
court Monday.
Bradford said
Lahey
explained he was indiscriminately downloading what he believed to be
gay adult pornography from the Internet and must have downloaded the
child pornography there. Edelson argued many of the websites
have provisos saying the models depicted are over the age of 18.

Lahey

They
included 588 pornographic pictures of adolescents and boys as
young as eight. Some were engaged in explicit sex acts,
including intercourse.
Lahey also
possessed several

Raymond. (

Lahey

The

images of nude boys wearing rosary beads and crucifixes.
Police
also located 63 child pornography videos and several stories with
themes of slavery. (

Three terms are enough, Mikhail
Gorbachev warns Vladimir Putin. (1)
The last Soviet leader, Mikhail
Gorbachev, has called on Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to heed
protester demands and quit politics instead of seeking a third term as
Russian president.
"I would advise Vladimir
Putin to leave now. He has had three terms: two as president and
one as prime minister. Three terms - that is enough," Mr Gorbachev told
Moscow Echo radio in a weekend interview.
Mr Gorbachev's call came as
the second mass protest in two weeks against fraud-tainted
legislative polls ended in Moscow and on the eve of the 20th anniversary
yesterday of his resignation as the Soviet Union's last president.

(2) Former
Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev, an intimate friend of The
Vatican, resolutely states
through the French Le Nouvel Observateur and Portuguese
Television that "My
time has not come yet"
From (Mr.) WO @
US
Ratzinger's sermon (1),
delivered at the Midnight Mass, 24 December, at the Vatican is
fascinating on many levels. But so are horror movies.
(a) He denies that Isaiah
foretold the
Incarnation of (the REAL) Christ.
(b) He keeps referring to Jesus 'appearing' as a child. Jesus was not a
phantom or parlor trick; in His Incarnation He was very real flesh and
blood. Yet as churches throughout the English speaking world have
encouraged the faithful to 'meditate on the second coming of Christ for
Advent', this makes sense in the world of the Inverted.
(Interesting psychological preparation work.)
(c) "...let us also pray especially at this hour for all who have to
celebrate Christmas in poverty.." , Ratzinger says. I find that quite
ironic, as he
says this while clothed and surrounded by wealth most could only dream
of. A 'papal event' which must surely cost several million US Dollars
to produce
and stage manage and which almost eclipses Hollywood's version of
Cleopatra's entrance in Rome.
At the end of this "mass", the procession went to the indoor
crèche', where the statue of the infant Christ was laid and
blessed by Ratzinger. It was snowing in the crèche'. No, I was
neither imagining things nor losing my mind. The indoor crèche'
had continuously falling 'snow' as a special effect.

this to our attention; an act that moved us to read the entire text.

Portugal comments: The greatest possible care must be
exercised
regarding the intoxication of public opinion via internet news forums.
It has been
pointed out to us that on a news forum the following story was reported
yesterday,
December 23rd, 2011:
News Report
=============================
Friday, Dec 23 2011
6AM
Two
American
missiles struck
a
village in south-west Iran early today. The news was given in a
report by
the country's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). IRNA
had said yesterday that
three people were injured when an earlier US missile struck an oil
depot in Abadan. The state-run news agency also
said British and American jets had entered Iranian airspace several
times.
The two rockets hit Manyuhi village near
the border with Iraq's Al-Faw Peninsula, an Iranian military commander
told IRNA. He gave no details of casualties or
damage. "In the border city of Arvand-Kenar, the
invading American and British airplanes violated the airspace of the
Islamic Republic of Iran three times," the commander said.
"In two cases, two rockets... hit the
Manyuhi village." The governor of Abadan told IRNA that
three people, including a guard at the oil depot, had been released
from hospital after receiving treatment. Iran has strongly condemned
the US-led
military. (1)
==============================
Commenters on that thread say that the same story was
posted by the
same paper in 2003, and again in 2009 (1) by CBS News. The UK Mail
story itself shows the generic date for the UK Mail site as a whole -
in today's case it was December 23rd - while one can see just before
the beginning of the report the following notice: "Date created:
22/03/2003".
May this serve as yet another reminder to be on the alert for deception
and manipulation via the media - mainstream or marginal. But there is
more; read on....

sickness' happening around the world at mass gatherings. I googled to
try and find out if this is really true. It does seem to be happening,
but I am not sure if they are connected yet.
A map (1)

miguel de
Portugal comments: We asked Mrs. LL, a long time
cooperator of
The M+G+R Foundation, to make
a chronological listing of all alleged
events that were mapped, as well as a line or two as to what took
place, and where, so that we, wearing our "Chemical and Environmental
Engineering hat", could review it.
She did as requested. The listing identified another danger of
misinformation by the manipulation of main stream media reports.
Professionally speaking, considering the date span, the location of the
events and symptoms caused, we can say that it is normal and not the
result of some plot to poison the US population. With the amount
of chemicals that we manufacture, transport around, vent and/or dump at
night (so that the authorities do not catch on), and the ever
increasing frequency of human errors, what we see in that list does not
raise any proverbial Red Flags for us.
What is the potential danger in all of this? We shall explain.
With a tool like Google one can search for any type of extraordinary
event in the US or worldwide and, Presto!,
one has a list of look-alike calamities reported by the mainstream
media (giving it validity) which can be converted on a "something to be
really concerned about" by the ever increasing marginal, but taken as
"the Gospel", internet media. Once again, Prudence should become our
middle name when faced by yet another Alert!
issued by mostly well intentioned folks who spend too much time on-line
or are trying to sell whatever apocalypse related products they are
peddling.

Russia
Ramps Up New 'Satan' Nuke
After U.S. Talks Breakdown: Russia is pressing
ahead with a new nuclear missile which Moscow claims is a part of a
renewed effort to bolster the country's missile defense systems. (1) (2)
This new intercontinental ballistic
missile, nicknamed "Satan"
by Western analysts, will sport a 100-ton warhead and replace
the Voevoda-class missile in the Russian nuclear arsenal, according to
recent news reports. ... Moscow's decision to accelerate work on the new "Satan"-class ICBM
was directly tied to recently failed missile defense negotiations
between Russia and the United States.
Russian president
Dimitri Medvedev broke off negotiations with the White House in
November on the administration's plan to set up a missile shield in
Europe. The European Phased Adaptive Approach plan is a network of sea
and land-based missile launchers designed to counter missile strikes
from Iran. Cooperation with Russia is integral to making the missile
shield work. But Moscow
claims the U.S. could not guarantee American missiles would not be used
to take out Russian targets. "Russia does not stand against the
U.S. missile defense system. Russia stands against the creation of the
missile defense system, which would be directly aimed against Russia,"
Karakaev said. That impasse forced Medvedev to walk away from the deal
and begin work on its own super nuke.

A Russian spacecraft stranded in
Earth orbit after a botched launch in November will plunge back into the

The Phobos-Grunt

soil sample from the Martian moon Phobos. ("Grunt" is Russian for
"soil.") But the probe never got farther than a couple of hundred miles
from Earth after the spacecraft's engines failed to ignite to put the
probe on an interplanetary path to Mars. (1)

A newfound
comet defied
long odds on
Thursday (Dec. 15), surviving a
suicidal dive through the sun's hellishly hot atmosphere,
according to NASA scientists.
Comet Lovejoy plunged through
the sun's corona at about 7 p.m. EST (midnight GMT on Dec. 16),
coming within 87,000 miles (140,000 kilometers) of our star's surface. Temperatures in the corona can
reach 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million degrees
Celsius), so most researchers expected the icy wanderer to be
completely destroyed.
But Lovejoy proved to be made of tough stuff. A video taken by NASA's
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft showed the icy object
emerging from behind the sun and zipping back off into space. (1)
miguel de Portugal comments:
Our "super
scientists"
have not caught on yet that there seems something amiss with "this
picture".
Although quite ignorant about space matters, we would expect an icy
comet with "a core of about 660 feet" to simply vaporize when exposed
to such an environment. Icy or not icy - any solid matter when suddenly
exposed to such unimaginable high temperatures would explode.... just
like the comets that explode in our atmosphere from the heat generated
in the reentry - a temperature which is not even close to the
temperature of the sun's corona.
There is an old saying that teaches us that: There is a fool born every minute.
It is beginning to look like that most go into science, while those who
flunk the entrance exams at the local Junior College, become
