Pope bows before crowned skull of Czech saint

Pope Benedict XVI has bowed before the skull of the Czech Republic’s patron saint before an open-air mass for the country’s youth.

The skull of a man who died 1000 years ago is adored and venerated by the Roman Catholics and the Pope.

Sunday, The 82-year-old pope visited the Saint Wenceslas Basilica in Stara Bolesav, just outside Prague. There he paid homage to the saint on the anniversary of his murder more than 1,000 years ago.

Saint Wenceslas, who was duke of Bohemia until his death, was murdered by his power-hungry pagan brother Boleslav on September 28th, 935 A.D at the gate of a church that used to stand where the basilica is now.

The pope also venerated the so-called Palladium, a small metal picture of the Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus, which according to legend the saint wore on his neck.

Afterwards Benedict headed to a field to celebrate mass before tens of thousands of pilgrims on the last day of his three-day visit to the former communist country.

Most Czechs are non-Catholics, with Papists making up less than a third of the 10.3-million population, according to Vatican data.

My comment

If Catholics and non-Catholics alike, do not understand the anti-Christian ritual of venerating, adoring or worshiping a skull, there is absolutely nothing I can say or do to convince you.

Shame on the Pope, and the Papists who believe in this wicked and perverse religion.

If you do not repent and leave this false Church, you will all end up in Hell. Mind my words.

International prosecutor may charge Israeli with War Crimes

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, is considering an investigation of IDF for war crimes in Gaza. His first target i Lieutenant Colonel David Benjamin.

Public prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo puts pressure on officers in the IDF.

Benjamin served for many years as legal adviser to the GOC Southern Command, and later headed the Military Advocate General’s department on international law.

In August, he visited South Africa to attend a conference organized by the local Jewish community on international law during wartime, with special reference to the Gaza war. Benjamin later described the trip as a «personal hasbara [public diplomacy] trip».

The pro-Palestinian organizations promptly asked South African state prosecutors to open an investigation into suspicions that Benjamin had committed war crimes in Gaza. To avoid a potential confrontation with local authorities, Benjamin left South Africa several days earlier than he had planned.

Israel did not sign the treaty that created the ICC and thus is outside its jurisdiction, but the prosecutor believes he has the authority he needs to launch an inquiry: Benjamin holds dual citizenship in both Israel and South Africa, which has signed the ICC’s charter, bringing Benjamin into the court’s orbit.

Benjamin said he was out of the country during most of the Gaza operation and had no role in its planning.

My comment:

To target a sub-officer in the IDF for war crimes is an cowardly act. Because the top IDF bosses are available. So is the Israeli Prime Ministers, both past and present. And President Shimon Peres.

The state of Israel have a legal system that will take care of complaint against officers in the IDF. On quit a few occasions they under investigation, and are suspended. Some of them have even been arrested and jailed.

The US and United Kingdom will next week hold a huge NATO exercise in the Mediterranean ocean. This will be a joint military drill with the IDF.

Would the US and NATO have done this with the War criminals from Serbia and Croatia? Would they have done drill with he Sudanese Government, that has committed genocide in Darfur? What about Idi Amin`s regime in Uganda?

The IDF is the most ethical army in the World. To entertain Arab Palestinian terrorist organizations call for War crimes trials against the IDF, is no longer to believe in a bad joke. The International society have again forced the Jews to be on the run, just like under Nazi-Germany. Colonel David Benjamin had to run back home to Israel ahed of his schedule.

The Catholic saint that never existed has a scrine in Rome

Saint Veronica was supposed to have wiped the face of Jesus. But she is not mentioned in the Bible.

Saint Veronica with the claimed to be true image of the face of Jesus. Veneration, adoration or worship of an idol at its absolute hight.

The Catholic religion includes a payer chain called stations of the cross. That is expected to be a copy of the last walk of Jesus, up the the site of crucifixion. Its included 13 station, where the faithful stops and remembers some episode from the sufferings of Jesus. Interesting enough, the prayer chain does not include a station with celebrates His resurrection. It leaves Him in the grave.

On the sixth station, the Catholics remembers Saint. Veronica. She is a woman that is supposed to have wiped the face of Jesus. Thats why the sixth station is called: «Veronica wipes the face of Jesus».

In the Vatican in Rome there is a statue of this lady, who has been canonized by the Papal Church. There is also a legend that says that the cloth Saint Veronica used, later started to display the watermark of the face of Jesus. The story was later elaborated in the 11th century by adding that Christ gave her a portrait of himself on a cloth, with which she later cured the Emperor Tiberius.

There are also three Churches in the US that has taken the name of Saint Veronica.

St Veronica Parish, Cincinnati, Ohio, St Veronica Catholic Church, Chantilly, Virginia and Saint Veronica Congregation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The shrine to Saint Veronica in Basilica di San Pietro, Vatican City

Its is possible to raise a lot of questions about the people who the Roman Catholic Church has declared saints. But in the case of Veronica, it is an bizarre case of falsehood. Because the person of Veronica is simply not mentioned in the Bible. She has never existed.

The Catholic Encyclopaedia of 1913 had this to say about the growth of the legend:

«The belief in the existence of authentic images of Christ is connected with the old legend of King Abgar of Edessa and the apocryphal writing known as the “Mors Pilati” (“the Death of Pilate”)».

«To distinguish at Rome the oldest and best known of these images it was called the vera icon (true image), which in the common tongue soon became «Veronica».

«It is thus designated in several medieval texts mentioned by the Bollandists (e.g. an old Missal of Augsburg has a Mass “De S. Veronica seu Vultus Domini”) of (“Saint Veronica, or the Face of the Lord”), and Matthew of Westminster speaks of the imprint of the image of the Savior which is called Veronica».

Statue of St. Veronica, used during Good Friday processions in Żejtun, Malta.

The only book that talks about Veronica, is the apocryphal Act of Pilate. But this book with this act includes so many not strange and non-Christian statements, that Roman can never use this letter without being seriously tainted. The book with the Act of Pilate is called the Gospel of Nicodemus, It has additional material, and has gone through many revisions and renamings.

Welcome to the chaos of falsehoods called the Church of Rome.

The US bunker-buster bomb can destroy Iranian nuke under ground

The Massive Ordinance Penetrator Bomb can reach a depth of 60 meters underground before exploding.

The bunker buster bomb is not a nuclear bomb, used for underground targets.

The Pentagon has brought forward to December 2009 the target-date for producing the first 15-ton super bunker-buster bomb (GBU-57A/B.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that top defense agencies and air force units were also working against the clock to adapt the bay of a B2a Stealth bomber for carrying and delivering the bomb.

The Pentagon has ordered the number of bombs rolling off the production line increased from four to ten – a rush job triggered in May by the discovery that Iran was hiding a second uranium enrichment plant under a mountain near Qom – a discovery which prompted this week’s international outcry.

Congress has since quietly inserted the necessary funding in the 2009 budget.

All this urgency indicates that the Obama administration has been preparing military muscle to back up the international condemnation of Iran’s concealed nuclear bomb program, its sanctions threat and his willingness to join the negotiations with Iran opening on Oct. 1 in Geneva.

Tehran may have to take into account a possible one-time surgical strike against its underground enrichment facility as a warning shot should its defiance continue. In particular, the world powers this week demanded that Iran open up all its nuclear facilities and programs to full and immediate international inspection. Failure to do so could bring forth further US military action.

According to our military sources, the earliest date for the accelerated Pentagon program to produce a super bunker buster bomb mounted on a stealth bomber is December 2009 or January 2010. This too is three years ahead of its original schedule.
