The Great White Hope – the Face of American Hate? – George and Shellie Zimmerman of Florida

No doubt the Great White Hope in politics is embodied in a non-empath Mitt Romney and his plastic white burb icon family. 

The fact that "White" will be a minority in America by 2050 is embodied in the White Trailer Trash Couple, “white” George Zimmerman and his sweet lovely wife Shellie both pictured above.

The parallels between the Romneys and the Zimmermans are outstanding.  Non-Empaths of people without empathy to their fellows in community or planet are also in some quarters labeled as socio-paths.

The Romneys and children, grandchildren, show horses and automobile elevators and McPalaces nationwide made a big profit off of tens of thousands of redundant workers tossed into the street.

George and Shellie have made a big profit off the death of a black child, a man in body but not yet a 18 year old legal adult, killed on or near the street of a Florida middle class gated (white ghetto) community.

The Romneys have PR people to paste over the economic bloodshed on their hands.

"Steal a silver teapot and they'll send you up for life. Steal a hundred million and they'll call you sir..."

The Zimmermans do seem a bit too tacky perhaps with their unpolished glee at new found wealth over the killing of Travon Martin.

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-06-18/news/os-george-zimmerman-phone-audio-20120618_1_witness-list-release-special-prosecutor-angela-corey

The calls also reveal a softer side of Zimmerman, and a few details about his life, temperament and marriage. 

Neither he nor his wife say anything angry, ugly or racist. They make no direct reference to Trayvon Martin or to the criminal charge Zimmerman faces. He also does not complain about being in jail or its conditions. 

In a call April 12, the day after his arrest, Zimmerman says he is thrilled by all the money and support his website has generated. 

"Oh, man, that feels good," he tells his wife, "… that there are people in America that care." 

"Yeah they do," she answers. So many tried to log onto his website the day of his arrest, she says, it kept crashing. 

A few moments later, she says, "After all this is over, you're going to be able to have a great life."

"We will," he corrects her. 

In a call April 16, Shellie Zimmerman told her husband he is a "special and amazing role model to people," to which he replied, "I wish, I wish I were." 

The couple also talks about their safety. They make references to a "safety counsel," someone who's apparently giving them advice on how to stay hidden and safe. 

They also discuss how to get Zimmerman safely out of jail. Shellie says one possibility is having someone drive him to an airport parking garage. 

"We could have two cars, we could have two rented cars," George Zimmerman replies. 

As for hiding him inside the vehicle, "Well, I have my hoodie," he chortled, a possible reference to the hooded sweatshirt Trayvon wore the night Zimmerman shot him. 

During one conversation, Zimmerman asks his wife to get a vest for him, herself and O'Mara, a likely reference to bullet-proof vests....

Vatican II Now a Code Word for Heresy and Heterosexuality Amongst Catholic Bishops?

I know this sounds bizarre but a light bulb went on regarding the Prince Bishop of New York City Cardinal Timothy Dolan sticking his nose up the ass, into the affairs of the Irish Seminary in Rome, on behalf of Benedict the German, Bishop of Rome.

Dolan is pulling a Bill Morris or a Charlie Chaput style hatchet job on the Irish Seminary staff that seems too V2 to the Vatican in their ways. 

Of course all this happened over a year ago and the results are only now coming to the forefront and insult of the nation of Ireland as retaliation of the Vatican to not only the politicians of Ireland that want the Child Abuse swept out to sea in the Irish Catholic Church and her institutions but to the people of Ireland, the lay people, the victims of sexual abuse by the RCC and its celibate clergy.

The light bulb had to do with the former flaming Queen, Princess Bishop of New York, Cardinal Spellman and his “Vatican II will get no further than the Statue of Liberty” in his gay bishop’s balliwick where promotions to monsignor in NYC rested solely on a priest’s height and good looks. (yum yum)  LMAO

Timmy Dolan technically should not have gotten his red hat last year because the previous Prince Bishop of New York, Edward Egan, had not reached the age of 80 and ineligibility in Papal Election voting. No problem, the more the merrier, birds of a feather and all that. Early reward for a drunk Mick to garrote his own kind. How so very WWII and German. 

The problem with the Irish Seminary and the staff of long standing that are being thrown into the very dirty corrupt streets of Rome is that usually the charges against the accused always flows back to charges related to humanity or the laity or the heresy preached by Vatican II.

The heresy of Vatican II is not really heresy but the only way the closeted gay bishops can steal the RCC out from under the People of God or the real church so sullenly trod into the dirt lately by the likes of Bertone, Ratzinger, Chaput, Lori and laughing cow Timmy the "Mick" Dolan.

I guess when female ordination is mentioned as in the case of the late deposed Bishop of Toowoomba Australia, William Morris, anything Vatican II or anything on the heterosexual line of thought, females that is, is anathema to the HE-MAN Women Haters Boys Only Club of the USCCB, United States Catholic Conference of Bishops and the boys in Rome and the Vatican.  Whatever.

That being a real celibate is not being kind in thoughts to women or gays but a real celibate must install fellow closeted gays in positions of "Celibate" power into order to loot the Church. 

The Holy Spirit watches and waits to strike down this evil dressed in purple and red and white.

Sharing a Smoke in the Park - 1925 - Philly

http://digital.library.temple.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/p15037coll5&CISOPTR=877&CISOBOX=1&REC=20

Father’s Day theme, it only occurred to me this morning that the boys in the above photo were of an age to match my late father when this photo was taken.  It also fits in the hanging on the street corner theme I believe even if it is in a mini-park. 

The smoking end of the photo reminds me of my dad’s lifetime two pack a day habit of Lucky Strikes.  Of note I can remember being four or five and going down to the corner grocery store in the late fifties with $.26 to buy him a pack of cigarettes and they did not card me. Ha Ha.

On the fashion theme I see these young men in the photo are wearing short pants or knickers. I don’t know which term was correct in Philly at the time.  The short pants were I believe a carryover of when men wore breeches as in the case of George Washington etc.

Also of note, I see one of the boys wearing a sleeve garter.  I can remember my dad mentioning that in the old days, the white shirts were wool and would shrink with every washing. So shirts were bought with many sizes too large to accommodate long term wear before  passing them along as a hand me down to a younger sibling or cousin (recycling) and the sleeve garters helped to keep your cuffs from going down to your knees.  Then again, when sleeves got too short or too tight, there were always scissors and short sleeve shirts.

Happy Father’s Day Ray Gricar – Penn (Pedo) State – MIA April 2005

Ray Gricar - Penn Pedo State Victim? - MIA April 2005

Our heartfelt prayers and wishes go out to Ray's family on this Father's Day. Ray, one of the probably silenced victims of the Penn (Pedo) State Child Trafficking Ring Scandal, with a tiny slice of the total crimes now being prosecuted in the Jerry Sandusky Pervert Trial in PennSoilvania. …

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Gricar 

(...missing April 15, 2005, declared legally dead July 25, 2011) was an American attorney who served as the district attorney of Centre County, Pennsylvania, from 1985–2005. On April 15, 2005, Gricar went missing under mysterious circumstances and has not been heard from since… 

After the revelations about the Penn State sex abuse scandal in which it was revealed that Gricar had declined to prosecute Jerry Sandusky, the well-known forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht said that "I believe that his disappearance is almost certainly related to this Penn State debacle."

Happy Father's Day Pedo State Admin and Joe Paterno in Hell

On this Father’s Day, Penn State should be ashamed

Posted on June 17, 2012

This is supposed to be a day when we honor the men who take care of their children, the men who nurture and teach their kids the difference between right and wrong and shelter and protect them from the evil and ugliness of the outside world.

But on this Father’s Day, the most important story in sports is about a man and a football program that are the antithesis of what this day represents. Jerry Sandusky and Penn State University not only failed to protect hopeless, helpless children, Sandusky stands accused of sexually abusing them and Penn State of shamefully turning a blind eye to it.

One after another, the alleged victims took the witness stand in recent days and tragically provided the sad, searing, grim, grotesque testimony of how Sandusky raped them — anally, orally, spiritually and psychologically. In all, Sandusky is on trial for 52 criminal counts of sexual abuse involving 10 alleged victims during a 15-year period.

If you haven’t already lost all respect for Penn State, its administration and its iconic former coach Joe Paterno, I suggest you read the gut-wrenching, stomach-turning accounts of what Sandusky allegedly did to these young boys.

Essentially, according to prosecutors, Sandusky started his Second Mile charity for troubled youths and set himself up as a father figure for lost boys from broken homes who desperately needed a male role model in their lives. Sandusky was the man who pretended to be their sworn protector but instead turned out to be their sexual predator.

One skinny 18-year-old, identified as Victim 9, took the stand and told his sad, sickening story. He grew up in a trailer park; his mother worked in a pub, and his father was who knows where. He was typical of the type of kid Sandusky’s charity was supposed to rescue.

He testified that when he was younger, his mother kept sending him to Sandusky’s house because she thought he needed a father figure in his life. Little did she know that while her son slept in the basement of Sandusky’s home, the former Penn State assistant coach allegedly forced him into oral and anal sex.

The kid was 12 years old and weighed just 67 pounds then. He testified that he would sometimes scream, but nobody could hear him. He would sometimes resist, but nobody could help him.

“There was no fighting against him,” Victim 9 told the jury. “Look at him. He’s a big guy. He’s way bigger than me. What was I supposed to do?”

The saddest part of all is that this could have been stopped long ago if Paterno and Penn State had done something when they first learned Sandusky might be abusing boys. Former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary testified that he told Paterno and other Penn State officials about an incident in 2001 when he walked into the Penn State locker room and saw Sandusky having sex in the shower with a prepubescent boy. “In hindsight,” Paterno told The Washington Post before he died a few months ago, “I wish I had done more.”

Paterno, of course, did nothing except tell his athletic director, who then proceeded to also do nothing. Sandusky, even though he mysteriously resigned as Paterno’s defensive coordinator years ago, was even allowed to keep an office in the athletic complex until police started investigating him last year.

And what we have now is the most disgusting, despicable scandal in the history of college athletics, the college-football equivalent of the Catholic Church for decades covering up for clergymen who were sexually abusing children.

How could this ever happen?

How could this possibly be?

Aren’t college-football coaches such as Paterno and Sandusky supposed to be the ultimate father figures?

But on this day, Sandusky stands accused of raping young boys, while Paterno and his superiors are all accomplices.

Cardinal Dolan’s Decimation of Irish Seminary in Rome Goes Ignored In American Media

The Laughing Cow Prince Bishop of New York City

The American Main Stream Media are no doubt waiting like a bunch of hungry hounds for gifts and PR handouts of boxes of Cuban Cigars and cases of Jameson Whiskey to keep writing good things about the laughing cow Prince Bishop of New York City.  All you need to succeed in Benedict’s vengeful retaliatory gestures to the Irish Politicians who hate him and want him in a docket at the world court for crimes against humanity for his decades of support and cover up of clerical child abuse is send in a drunk fat stooge with a smile and a free pass from the world press to install a new set of no doubt hand picked closeted homosexual stooges, hand picked by Ratzinger and Bertone themselves, to run the Irish Seminary in Rome and all is right with the world.

MSM enablers of RC world wide child abuse for decades.  MSM enabling of decimation of the Irish Seminary in Rome. Same thing.

Irish Archbishops slam Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s report on Rome Irish college 

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has been attacked by four Irish archbishops for a misleading report which had led to major changes at the Irish College in Rome. 

The Irish Times reports that the four archbishops are heavily critical of Cardinal Dolan’s role in a visitation and review of the College ordered by the Pope. 

The four archbishops, Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh; the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin; the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, and the Archbishop of Cashel, Dr Dermot Clifford, were sent a copy of the visitation report by the Vatican. 

They say Cardinal Dolan’s report, which has resulted in the college hierarchy being sent back to Ireland and may see it close down, is riddled with errors.Under orders from Pope Benedict, Cardinal Dolan led a root and branch review of all structures and processes at the famous Irish seminary in the Vatican. 

His report expressed concern about ‘the atmosphere, structure, staffing and guiding philosophy of the Irish College in Rome’. 

But now four of Ireland’s leading clerics have hit out at the report.In a statement to the Irish Times, they said: “As part of the process involved in the visitation to the Irish College, Rome, the trustees were given an initial report by the Holy See. 

“This initial report contained some serious errors of fact, including named individuals. Attentive to the importance of applying due process, and respecting the rights of those named in this initial report, the trustees made a detailed and considered response to the Holy See.” 

Cardinal Dolan was still an Archbishop when he led the apostolic visitation to the Irish College in Rome last year. 

He was assisted in the visitation report by the then Archbishop of Baltimore in the US and now Cardinal Edwin O’Brien, Msgr Francis Kelly of the Northern American College in Rome and others.

Jewish / Jesus View on Abortion vs. Fairytale Catholic Bishops View

Rep. Lisa Brown in the Michigan State House voted against a draconian anti-choice Abortion Bill.  She used a word “Vagina”, forbidden, censored to be used in that legislative body and the cunt Legislature censured her for expressing her first amendment right to freedom of expression.

Below her words and the curious Jewish view of Abortion, a view that a Jew like Jesus might have held considering the interpretation of Jewish Law it is based on. Curiously, it is 180 degrees opposite of what the Fairy-tale Bishops of the RCC church said it should be.

Jesus was no fairy, he was a real man. Real too were his beliefs in humanity and the rights of a mother over the unborn in cases of life crisis, unlike many in so-called shady moral authority in these end days of western civilization.

I'm Jewish. I keep kosher in my home. I have two sets of dishes. One for meat and one for dairy, and another two sets of dishes on top of that for Passover. Judaism believes that therapeutic abortions, namely abortions performed in order to preserve the life of the mother are not only permissable but mandatory. The stage of pregnancy does not matter. Wherever there is a question of the life of the mother or that of the unborn child, Jewish law rules in favor of preserving the life of the mother. The status of the fetus as human life does not equal that of the mother. I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours?

Michigan is now in Catholic Sharia Law territory?

USCCB Atlanta Meeting – Bill Donohue Catholic League Out – Don Draper types In

The Catholic Bishops got together in Atlanta in the American bishops boys club, USCCB, and the alpha bishops talked some of the lesser bishop types into the extreme need of an alpha Doctor Goebbels type spokesperson propaganda guru to get the word out for the ambitious alphas in their election year campaign commitments to the daily GOP talking points list etc. Need to save the whole, LOL, present USCCB set up and function under the ever glorious and wise beyond wise direction of its present elected leader, Cardinal Timmy Dolan of Gotham City. 

Apparently the baseball bat under the bar next to the bath house in the seminary basement approach of Mad Bill Donohue over at the Catholic League is more of an embarrassment to the Catholic Bishops than they care to admit.  While Laughing Timmy the Cow Dolan of New York will always be BFF and a former drinking buddy of Mad Bill, Mad Bill has been talking about retirement in his role as official spokesman for the RCC in the United States lately.  Right Bill? In either case, the well ($) is about to run dry on Bill.  Happy retirement Bill.

Looking for - Somebody young, sexy, male, a Don Draper Mad Men type, in a PR role to further his career and resume. Eye candy for the bishops. (yum, yum) Wink. Nod.

Maybe even a younger nicer female version of a Phyllis Schlafly type to aggressively uphold church standards and the anti-female, anti-gay agenda against the tidal wave of modernernism will do the bishops, the top bishops at lease, give them a little more PR clout in the media in this election year cycle. The Schlafly type will certainly help with the over 50 female crowd who currently bankroll the church from the pews and look the other way when yet another altar boy bites the dust and disappears from view on the Tridentine altar etc.

Local bishops, long comfortable with mimeographed PR hand out statements and ten second sound bite pronouncements on the local TV stations by the local bishop without any questions is like so old hat. The days of ranting Bishop Martino types formerly in Scranton, those days are surely over.  Whatever.

BTW, Captain Smith on the Titanic’s last official act as captain was appointing a new PR spokesperson.  LOL

Resumes to President of the USCCB Tim Dolan, 452 Madison Ave., NYC

Have a nice day.

30 Years of American Economic Stagnation – Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush/Obama Economy in the Toilet

"Success" you morons, its in the script. Wink, Nod.

While Obama is a short term holder of the Executive Branch, it was decided long ago that Deregulation and the Rape of the American Worker was the quickest way for a few to become robber baron billionaires.

Like the Great Soviet stagnation under a handful of incompetent leaders, America’s decline, stagnation and future disintegration is in the works.

And to quote myself from at least decade or more now:

The Soviet System merely Collapsed First!

And from Clinton signing away American Financial Security with the death of Glass-Steagall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Act  in a special secret plea bargain with Special Republican Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, the die was cast.

In any case, it is crying over spilled milk.  Sunday’s election in Greece may finally push over the dead economic cadaver and bring about the official death certificate signing for the economic collapse of the West, Europe First, USA next. It will kind of be like watching all the debris of the Johnstown Flood, 1889, floating passed us on its way down stream.

Have a nice day.

Cash from China Funding Romney Bid - China First for Jobs ?

Mitt Romney - Macau Candidate - China First

Newt Gingrich's former sugar daddy Sheldon Adelson with his empire of gambling in Las Vegas as a mere front to the global gambling without transparency or accountability, is now fueling the Mormon Prez candidate with money that probably originates in China, China, China.

China First! All those hundreds of thousands of jobs destroyed by Bain Capital, those Jobs have found a decent home, respected jobs by Chinese workers and not jobs direpected by American employees and taken away from them by Romney/Bain, are now in China thanks to lobbying efforts and money, money, money from Sheldon Adelson of Macau China.

Romney, the Manchurian Candidate, or more accurately the "Macau Candidate" now has unlimited slave generated cash from China being put into one of his many PACs to air propaganda in his Plutocrat bid for the White House.

Senator McCain in Arizona was making these points of corruption and takeover of the American Electoral Process open to the highest global bidder in the news.

In Sheldon Adelson We Trust

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/sheldon-adelson-is-giving-10-million-to-mitt-romney-super-pac/2012/06/13/gJQAb3z5ZV_blog.html

Restore Our Future, which is run by a handful of former Romney aides and confidantes, raised and spent more than $41 million during the Republican presidential primary season — money spent largely on negative television ads that went after the likes of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. 

During the primary, Adelson and his family gave more than $20 million to a super PAC supporting Gingrich. But even then, sources close to the billionaire said he was comfortable with Romney as the eventual nominee. 

Adelson is the eighth-richest man in the world with an estimated net worth of about $25 billion dollars. 

A college dropout raised in Boston by poor Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Adelson pursued various business ventures before striking gold in the computer trade show industry. He used that money to revive the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He helped turn the Strip into a major convention destination and now owns resorts in Macao and Singapore. 

Adelson started out life as a Democrat. But in the 80s and 90s, as his wealth grew and he clashed with unionized hotel workers, he became a loyal Republican. He also supports conservative politicians and causes in Israel, where he owns the newspaper Israel Hayom. He also donates millions to charity, in particular medical research. 

He told the Las Vegas Sun in May that he would  was “going to give one more small donation — you might not think it's that small — to a super PAC and then if I give it will be to a C4.” (A 501c4 group does not have to disclose its donors; the GOP-backing Crossroads GPS is a likely beneficiary of Adelson’s funds.) 

“I’m against very wealthy ­people attempting to or influencing elections,” he said in a March Forbes interview. “But as long as it’s doable I’m going to do it.”

Vatican Bank IOR Under Investigation as Mafia Front for Money Laundering

http://www.rt.com/news/vatican-mafia-laundering-money-716/ 

The Vatican Bank is under media fire as reports emerge that Italian prosecutors suspect it of laundering Sicilian mafia bosses’ riches. 

The Institute for Works of Religion, commonly known as the Vatican Bank, has so far refused to disclose details of an account held by a priest in connection with a money laundering and fraud investigation. 

Father Ninni Treppiedi was sacked from serving as a priest after a series of church funds transactions made by his parish came to anti-mafia prosecutors’ attention this spring. The dealings, involving millions of euro, date back to 2007-2009. 

Prosecutors suspect Treppiedi was involved in money-laundering operations linked to Matteo Messina Denaro, a Mafia Godfather on the run. The cleric’s former post in Aclamo, near Trapani, is said to be the richest parish in the Mafia stronghold of Sicily. 

Trapani prosecutor Marcello Viola made the request to disclose Treppiedi’s account details over six weeks ago. But the Vatican, though confirming the request has been received, maintains the issue is not mafia-related.…The first reports on the scandal emerged in the Italian media two weeks after the head of the Vatican Bank, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, was ousted after receiving a unanimous vote of no-confidence from bank overseers.

The banker is under investigation for another case of alleged money laundering. But there is speculation that the actual reason behind the no-confidence vote is that Tedeschi was aware of possible mafia links and leaked names and accounts details to police.

Is Lack of Transparency Without Accountability a Moral Question Anymore?

Is Europe Too Corrupt to Save? Can Transparency cure the corruption endemic to the southern tier culture of Europe, a Catholic culture except for the Greeks?  Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Italy all good Catholic cultures with blind fascist obedience to a Leader or Dictator or a Pope being the historic cultural background.  This is not anti-Catholic where I am taking this but it is part of my background argument.

Can a lack of transparency be the reason why RC bishops protect pedophilia? The Pedo State (Penn State) child rape and child trafficking ring trial is under way in Pennsylvania just as the Monsignor Lynn Child Abuse trial has been sent to the jury, also in Pennsylvania.

I for one am not eager to hear any more adult male penis in child mouth or anus testimony in a secular case as opposed to a religious pedophile trial.  No doubt Bill Donohue at the “Catholic” League will regularly be reporting to us and mentioning to his drinking buddy Cardinal Dolan on the daily jury trial activities of secular Coach Sandusky at Penn State – actually no, Sandusky is a good Catholic adult male and has been recognized as such with awards from the likes of the Knights of Columbus etc. …. (Can’t go there? Librul eastern media? Right?) 

The nuns have shot back across the bough at the anti-female Vatican quest to sack the nuns' American real estate holdings through trumped up liberal, progressive humanist charges with a simple idea within their June one response to the boys in the Vatican:

“The board members raised concerns about both the content of the doctrinal assessment and the process by which it was prepared. Board members concluded that the assessment was based on unsubstantiated accusations and the result of a flawed process that lacked transparency.”

"Transparency".  That’s the word Carl Anderson as board member of the Vatican Bank IOR (Institute for Religious Works) kept tossing around the librul press when their token part time consultant Gotti Tedeschi, President of the Vatican Bank, got sacrificed as a scapegoat(?) in the recent scandal over there.  

No transparency – real transparency – and European banks don’t want to deal with the Vatican Bank without a trustworthy rating regarding money laundering and terrorism funding.

If Carl Anderson ran his Knights of Columbus Insurance business like the Vatican Bank….(Let’s not go there.)

And let’s not forget – Too Big to Fail in America?

I keep running into the “T” word – TRANPARENCY – all over the web.  And the TRANPARENCY word seems not to have a SYNONYM like MORALITY.

TRANSPARENCY  -  just a word without an energy or force - MORALITY and or ACCOUNTABILITY

The secular world has broken away from the traditional superstitious world of religion in the west.  The west invented Christianity or remodeled Jesus stuff under Constantine in the fourth century and church fathers remodeled or plagiarized Aristotle, Plato and other concepts of morality from the pagan world.

Now that Christianity is on life support in the west, the most, best you can get in the public forum is a bunch of women hating closeted homosexuals running the RC church trying to preach morality without transparency or accountability in the day to day operations of the church. That and fundamentalist creationist political hack party evangelicals.

Businesses preach profit without morality and most importantly of all without transparency and definitely without any accountability whatsoever.

Government preaches democracy and law and order, verbal code words for morality, without transparency and or accountability for no-bid Bush Cheney type government contracts etc?

The simple truth is that a lot of corruption in western society lies with the separation of actions, any actions not tied to any transparency and or accountability.

That is why trillions have disappeared on Wall Street and nobody except Madoff is in prison.

Corruption equals Transparency minus Accountability minus Morality – all in the same category or all divorced from each other these days?

The end of western civilization as we have known it for thousands of years?

I give some credit for part of the idea of this article to the below article in Al Jazeera English which as an outsider  news agency of sorts is witnessing the meltdown of the West in mentioning some “Emperor Has No Clothes” observations ignored here in the west regarding the present Eurozone monetary crisis.

          Just how corrupt is Europe?                      

The warning comes in a new report that says poor governance contributed to financial and political scandals in almost every European country during 2011. 

Greece, Italy and Spain are listed as among the most corrupt countries on the continent. 

Political parties, businesses and the public sector are said to be the worst institutions for corruption, while electoral commissions and state auditors performed the best. 

The report named Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain – the eurozone's most financially-troubled nations – as having deeply-rooted problems in their public administrations where officials are not accountable for their actions. 

Political lobbying is also seen as a major cause for concern. Out of 25 European countries 19 have no regulations on political lobbying. 

Party funding, with the influence of lobbyists on decision-makers remaining veiled in secrecy, is seen as ripe for abuse by big businesses. The report says Europe's political parties must do more to make funding transparent.

(Like regulations on lobbying could really provide any protection from corruption? – Look at Washington DC as an example.)

Vatican to Pay Taxes on its Commercial Properties in Italy

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17072211

Prime Minister Mario Monti has announced the Vatican must pay taxes on non-religious property, from which it previously enjoyed an exemption. 

The annual cost could be up to 720m euros ($945m; £598m) according to municipal government bodies. 

Italy's Catholic Church has 110,000 properties, worth about 9bn euros.It includes shopping centres and a range of residential property. 

In December, the government reintroduced a tax paid by anyone who owns land or property in Italy - which the Church does not pay. 

But a growing wave of Italians are opposed to what they see as special privileges in the face of a tightening economy 

Following their government's latest austerity measure package, more than 130,000 people signed an online petition calling for the Church's tax exempt status to be revoked. 

Since 2005, church-run groups and organisations have not been classed as official commercial bodies and have been exempt from paying property tax. 

According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, tax authorities will calculate how much of a property is used purely for religious purposes and tax it proportionately. 

This means a church would remain exempt but a chapel which operates an hostel would pay tax accordingly.

Drunken Brit Prime Minister Cameron Leaves 8 Year Old Daughter in Pub

Thatcher clone David Cameron

I love the way the conservative Prime Minister spins child abandonment.  It was a Country Pub like child molesters don't hang out in Country Pubs looking for abandoned kiddies.  Yeah Right.

His Body Guards forgot the little tyke as well. That's real bang for the taxpayers buck and the kind of protection that a mean spirited Conservative man, who has devastated the middle and working classes in Britain, deserves.

Pity his child and or electorate.

British Prime Minister David Cameron's office confirmed Monday that he accidentally left his 8-year-old daughter Nancy in a country pub after a family Sunday lunch. 

Officials said the incident happened "a couple of months ago," as the family was leaving the pub near Chequers, a country house prime ministers use while in office, west of London. 

Nancy had gone to the bathroom while Cameron and the rest of the family piled into two cars to drive back to the house. 

Cameron was travelling in one car with his bodyguards and assumed that she was in the other car with his wife Samantha and two other children. Samantha assumed Nancy was with her father, and they only realized she was missing when they got home.

Bibi and Poldi call Quits to Marriage after 115 years

Breaking up is not hard to do.

Important news from Europe.  Bibi and Poldi, giant turtles, together for 115 years have suddenly decided to separate and no longer want to live together as man and wife.  No doubt marriage gets worn out a bit after a century or more.

Zoo management have called in animal experts to try and give the pair counselling - feeding them romantic good mood food and trying to get them to join in joint games - but so far without effect. Zoo boss Helga Happ said: "We get the feeling they can't stand the sight of each other anymore." 

Bibi and Poldi have been a pair since before anyone alive today can remember - they have been together at the Austrian zoo in Klagenfurt for 36 years and before that they lived at Basel zoo in Switzerland. 

Zoo boss Helga added: "They are both 115 years old - they have been together since they were young and grew up together, eventually becoming a pair.

Secular Liberty being Attacked by Religious Liberty - Bill Donohue - “Catholic” League

Give me Secular Liberty or give me Death!

With Dolan away on vacation in Ireland, William Donohue over at Catholic League can relax, get a pedicure, toe paint and write the odd interview piece about women not fit to be nuns, the usual bully he-man woman haters club stuff he and the Cardinal famously get off on.

FOKS NEWS, fairly unbalanced is complaining that the librul press is ignoring Catholic Institutions suing the Negro Administration over forcing healthcare on its employees who are happy to live in the fourteenth century under the wisdom, love and guidance of the Medieval Bishops Guild or USCCB.

But seriously folks, "Big Bill" Donohue, over at the "Catholic" League, is trying to use Secular events to gauge and justify Timmy Dolan’s Bonus program for Pedophiles in Milwaukee which was definitely religious in origin and not secular. 

Secular is not Religious! Religious cannot be Secular.

One has to wonder what sort of cash has already been paid out in bonuses to perverts using the bottomless resources of the Archdiocese of New York with the New York City News Media afraid to print any truth about the local Prince Bishop since hick from the sticks (Milwaukee) Timmy arrived in the big city.

None of these incidents—and there are hundreds like them—will ever get the goat of those taking cheap shots at Cardinal Dolan. He inherited a big problem from the disgraced Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland, and did what he could to correct matters. Moreover, unlike public school employers, he didn’t grant lifetime salaries and benefits to suspected offenders. He should be commended, not condemned, for doing so.

You cannot use secular standards to justify your crimes against humanity cover up in Milwaukee without it being a direct attack of my “Secular Liberty” being trampled on by the jack boots of “Religious Liberty” and its proponents, paid for sycophant media stooges like Bill Donohue.

Give me Secular Liberty or give me death!
