Stephen Fry - BBC "Out There" - Human Dignity - Gay RIghts





Ran into this video over at Bill Lindsey’s Bilgrimage and his eternal campaign for human rights and human dignity – all human dignity. 

Very interesting video of Stephen Fry. I have to admit that the same video word for word from an American openly gay actor produced by PBS would not have the same impact on myself. Something about the mother tongue and the mother culture that on some level has true stage presence in the documentary side of English speaking common cultures.

Kathryn Jean Lopez – Token Vagina/Front of the All-Male RC Church’s New Evangelization




It is perhaps vulgar of me to use the title I used but after some basic research, I thought I would share it to those interested in reading it. I call a spade a spade as I see it. And Me vulgar – never – just a bit kitch?

Kathryn Lopez is thought to be some sort of wunderkind, being “Hispanic” and a female and her career has shot with a bullet to the top of the heap as Heir Apparent to Phyllis Schlafly as token female Catholic opinion maker and speech giver for the GOP.

Of course her shot to the top was as one woman with a computer at the National Review and running as editor in chief National Review Online NRO. Now that the Internet has taken off, Kathryn got pushed to the side as Editor at Large at NRO, which gives her time to produce a prolific amount of GOP and Uber-Catholic drivel both separate and mixed together on many media and online sites and circles.

Most of what I read of what she has written is totally boilerplate and considering her associations with Right Wing think tanks and her association with National Review; she has little journalistic talent IMHO.

She merely reiterates and repackages what she hears on the media and re-spins it to the ears of RNC talking points' daily listeners.  A one trick (very talented – savant?) monkey sort of “journalistic” deal? She does not as far as I can determine work directly with the Republican National Committee.

And of course when Bill Buckley Jr. was alive he renounced the John Birch Society and Ayn Rand per say but dear old uber-uber-Catholic Bill is dead and in uber-Catholic gated white heaven. Thank Gott!

In terms of her Twitter, she seems when the news is dead to send out Saint Josemaria Escrivia quotes, perhaps trolling for lonely workaholic Opus Dei virginal males and females working themselves to death and feeding, contributing to Opus Dei trying to deprivatize religion in America.

That and she throws out random bones that bored lonely Catholic Housewives eat up, to stir the pot of racism, or is it Abortion against the you know who in the White House (wink,nod) left over from the 2012 election campaign still gnawing at the craw of so many good white gated community pro-life uber-catholics?


It is in retreading backwards on some of her retweeters that I see that many of them are Twit Tweet illiterate and merely want to show an @ or a # Hashtag shared with the rising token vagina in the Church, Party and or Church/Party – The Christian Catholic Republican Party?

But really some of these retweeters and it is unfair to use guilt by association, but I rather think that a lot of campaign fund raising and more importantly charity fund raising follows the lines of K-Low’s considerate well-heeled Mailing lists or followers of her tweets, columns and other keeping her face and her income career constantly in the every second of everyday borderline social and public media.

By her own description, she is a workaholic, listening to MSNBC, talk radio, reading tweets, e-mails etc. to get her constant flow of filtered rewrites out to the right, with  their limited understanding of the outside world, this to both her uber-Republican and uber-Catholic fans.  Basically she is a middle aged female workaholic and I do not know if she has a private life, sex life etc. outside what she is allowed as a faithful unmarried submissive to male culture Catholic female?

My thanks to Dr. Bill Lindsey, the Catholic Theologian over at his Bilgrimage mission blog for alerting me to the latest crop of videos of the Uber-Rich, Uber-Catholics joining up in this year’s Napa Institute’s Catholic version of the Bohemia Club up there in wine country in Northern California.  

More Chardonnay anyone?


Of the many Videos offered on YouTube and on the EWTN Catholic “News”/propaganda network was one of a person who I had never heard of before, that of Kathryn Jean Lopez – “K-Lo” to her friends.

I went into this video of her speech at the Napa Institute with a mindset, after researching her writing, and was surprised by her presentation as full of effervescence masking extreme nervousness, shyness and in an adolescent style presentation, of rarely directly looking at the audience, of actually speaking directly to the audience with eyes closed at times and always always looking down, hands and arms waving, at her too long a script delivered at New York Minute speed to what looked like an older western middle class audience whose facial expressions, when the camera pans the audience, come across as Huh!, bored or indifferent. 

They give her a full eight and a half seconds of applause at the end of her presentation.

Content of the speech which is supposed to be the “deprivatization of religion in America” which translates into shoving your private religious beliefs into everybody’s face and legislation etc.

She does not make a good case for the so called title of the YouTube except to plug Archbishop Gomez’s latest book of similar title.

Her first plunge toward the deprivatization topic suggested to me that Archbishop Chaput or his aides wrote the script because she masks her attack on the “first Catholic American President” as the person who privatized religion and made it okay for the secularization of the American Town Square.

Whether of her own ass kiss writing origin or input script, I find it insulting that John F. Kennedy is both a forgotten dissed by silence, lack of a name (a bastard so to speak?) and insulted too at the same time as the man who forgot or greatly discounted his Catholic Root. Her reference to Chaput after this insult to President Kennedy is what suggests the ass kissing and or co-written status of her words.

Good job Girl!

There is also below a reference to her indifference to the Hispanic Community in America by her lack of knowledge of the Spanish language or by her not wanting to mix with the unclean unwashed immigrant types that some might think goes along with her name of Lopez – thus the Label and distance from Spanish culture in the “K-Lo” tag unless it is an inference and direct challenge to Jennifer Lopez regarding the biggest NewYorican (Puerto Rican) female Ass born in New York City.  LOL


And also below in YouTube garbled robot script that could not correctly translate her fast speaking style. She comments about having to go to a catechism to repackage what Pope Francis had to say on a plane – to understand it PC uberr-style – and reiterate it to her adoring uber audiences. 





11:16
I'm worried about also our outreach to Spanish speakers and I worry about
11:20
are segregation within the church but despite my last name
11:23
others here are better equipped to address that topic


16:52
people often have no idea what we're talking about when we use the word
16:55
conscience
16:56
nevermind have a wall forms one we really have a lot of fundamentals to
17:00
reteach


25:44
how you made them feel. the good moment I think to talk about Pope Francis
25:48
on the plane but right back from Rome there's a brilliance
25:52
to what he did as well as I think a caution and challenge for a bay dealing
25:55
with the media
25:56
my initial reaction so the first news stories that makes
25:59
characterized what he said as a definitive slapped down at Pope
26:03
Benedict's
26:04
on a seminary candidates and homosexuality
26:08
my initial reaction was to scurry to figure out where exactly said because I
26:11
was in on the plan announced a good time
26:13
I had a and presented in some kind of catechetical context right
26:18
which is what a what I tends to you up but all around me the buzz continued
26:23
the pope people react in said the pic pope showed signs
26:26
finally let gay priest reeve
26:29
LGBT activists on my the cable news channels
26:33
said finally somebody in the catholic church doesn't think we're wrong and
26:37
evil
26:40
thats course a great injustice right but oh my goodness
26:44
while people may only be personally listening they are listening
26:49
he's captured their attention consider it their concern that perhaps
26:54
not all catholics may actually hate

Paid Foot Soldiers in the Army of Hate - Tom Starnes of Fox News, Martin SSempa, Benson Ndehi ?




Bill I think you have been pwned and are a victim of a long chain, feeding chain, frenzy, from paid hate soldiers on the Right. 

Your friend Benson in Kenya is little more than a cyber space version of a street corner drug spotter, a filter, a front, for another paid hate soldier, the reverend and former (I was never GAY!) dancer Martin Ssempa of Uganda, in the hot drug spots of a city, internet, balanced discussion forums - and on the side he sells mailing lists, spam lists, twitter lists.


Kiva, Strathmore University, and Opus Dei: Another Reader Response, "We Don't Want Homosexuals and Homosexual Sympathisers Funding Africans"


I see your friend Benson or Njonjo, the Geraldo Rivera, of Kenya Twitter media fame, sits all day being a clearing house for information and sending it through the Pneumatic tubes of the internet thingy to inform his fellow Africans about what to see or not see in the outside European and Global Culture.

That somebody at Opus Dei without a doubt probably sent an arrow, a twitter, a little bird, an e-mail to attack you with his native African sounding name to prove that you the great evil faggot (pardon my French) is going to ruin Africa while he and his other twitter drug spotters of sorts create a virtual wall of reality in which to judge the outside world over their man made wall. 

Since the North American Fortress is falling. Time to build a whole brave new world from which to dominate and attack the rest of the world in the future from, in the penthouses (?) of Africa (or is it really just still the penthouses of Fifth Avenue NYC – Rupert Murdoch and Koch Brothers high in the heights Heaven land etc.)

Here in visuals is a feeding chain of sorts in reverse from Benson to Tom Starnes at Fox Radio who I cannot determine if he is a paid employee or merely an outsourced contractor being paid or paying for time on the air  - “BoutiqueJournalism”.


And the ultimate story in terms of hate and or whatever is how A Christian Company – a Christian Cup Cake company in Washington State got bullied out of business for refusing to bake a Lesbian Wedding Cake??? 

Truth is if you send away customers, any business will go out of business one way or another. Putting a hoped for magic word like "Christian" in front of your business name is just plain superstitious if not downright bad business in a firmly secular nation like America.

Six Degrees of Separation between anything you write in defense of your sanctity as a human being, a child of God and How the Feeding Chain of an Army of Hate can reduce you to nothing in the uncivil discourse of the defunct American Town Square, now the planet's new city dump.

Roman Empire Was Not Green


Don’t mistake later memes on the timeline.  Don’t insult Jews or early Christians with the lording over the animals in a wrong way now, as opposed to original context in Genesis.

One of the themes I have come to in my research and writing is that the Roman Empire was not Green.

Rome hated nature as evidenced by its military, numbers only, Julian calendar that abandoned the moon and or feminine (balanced) concept connected to nature.

By turning sex into a body function to serve the state, Rome, like the present Roma Nova American/European empire culture and its Roman Church, has turned sex into a commodity to be monitored, censored, taxed and exploited.

If Christianity is to survive in the west, it must go to its pre-Constantine roots and adore the abundance of gifts of a loving God to her children and abandon the reptilian chaos and natural imbalance caused by the Roman military mind.

USCCB – Bully Pulpit – U.S. Catholic Bishops - Lobbying War on Women and Gays continues…$$$ 26 millions worth

(Father Charles Coughlin Bishop William Lori)

$26,000,000 in bribes, fees paid by the USCCB, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is a lot of chump change, a lot of little old ladies’ dollar bills in the collection plate on Sunday, to lobby Congress with in the ongoing discriminatory war on women and war on gays. 

Recently, I took note of a back-and-forth between Michael Sean Winters and Tom Roberts at National Catholic Reporter, in which Roberts calls into question a persistent meme of Winters' reporting on behalf of the U.S. Catholic bishops.  Roberts notes that Winters's defense of the bishops depends on asserting and re-asserting that Catholics are under "attack" today in secular culture, and that anti-Catholicism in American culture lingers on and feeds the "attacks" Catholics are experiencing. 
Roberts doubts the viability of this meme of anti-Catholic attack when, as he notes, Catholics are "liberally sprinkled" all through "the most powerful quarters" of the nation's political and economic life.  And when the Supreme Court is dominated by (conservative) Catholics.
And now this piece of information comes down the pike, and I think it's going to be even harder for the U.S. Catholic bishops and their centrist spokespersons to keep the victim meme alive: the Pew Forum has just released a report showing that the USCCB ranks number two of all faith-based lobbying groups in D.C., with $26,662,111 (and see Kevin Clarke at America on the Pew report) spent on lobbying activities in 2009.  That's a hefty chunk of change for a victimized little old minority group suffering societal persecution to have at its disposal to try to wheedle and cajole legislators to do its faith-based bidding.


Men Behind the War on Women
A group of men with no real background in law or medicine, but blessed with a strong personal interest in women’s bodies, have quietly influenced all of the major anti-abortion legislation over the past several years. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops may be one of the quietest, yet most powerful lobbies on Capitol Hill, with political allies that have enabled them to roll back decades of law and precedent.
Over the past two years the GOP-controlled House of Representatives has launched one of the most extreme assaults on women's choice the U.S. has seen in decades. Republicans voted twice to slash federal family planning funds for low-income women, moved to prevent women from using their own money to buy insurance plans that cover abortion, introduced legislation that would force women to have ultrasounds before receiving an abortion and, most recently, passed a bill that will allow hospitals to refuse to perform emergency abortions for women with life-threatening pregnancy complications.
But the erosion of women's rights didn't begin with the GOP takeover. President Barack Obama's health care reform law contained some of the most restrictive abortion language seen in decades.
 Lift the curtain, and behind the assault was the conference of bishops.
 In the 1930s, Catholic demagogue Father Charles Coughlin never dreamed of the power that the RCC in America now has, can acquire simply by buying it, here in the future.


But beware bishops:

“St. Irenaeus of Lyon warned early Christians that we’ve been sent like sheep into the midst of wolves. The moment we become wolves ourselves, we lose.” - - Bp. Charles Chaput 


(Bishop William Lori Father Charles Coughlin)
