August 10 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A revolution rages in America .
If an image could characterize this revolution , it would be the recent scene of burning the American flag and Bibles at one of Portland ’ s nightly riots .

Its goal is to attack those things that still have meaning to countless Americans—God , country , family .
The symbolic act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things reduced to ashes .
The Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) movement is the umbrella under which this is happening in America .
Its militants circulate in these protests .
The “ black lives matter ” slogan is painted and chanted everywhere by rioters .

Most people think the BLM movement only deals with those suffering from racism .
Many people sentimentally feel sorry for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the widespread outrage .

August 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A revolution rages in America. If an image could characterize this revolution, it would be the recent scene of burning the American flag and Bibles at one of Portland’s nightly riots.
The burning is a clear provocation, meant to offend and outrage. Its goal is to attack those things that still have meaning to countless Americans—God, country, family. The symbolic act communicates an incendiary desire to see these things reduced to ashes.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is the umbrella under which this is happening in America. Its militants circulate in these protests. The “black lives matter” slogan is painted and chanted everywhere by rioters. Greater New York Black Lives Matter president Hawk Newsome threatened to “burn down the system and replace it” should their demands not be met.
Why people sympathize with BLM
Most people think the BLM movement only deals with those suffering from racism. Many people sentimentally feel sorry for the victims of injustice and sympathize with the widespread outrage. Some may even be unaware of the Portland burning of the Bibles and the American flag.
These shallow BLM supporters excuse the violence as the excesses of those expressing their righteous anger against a “racist” establishment and police brutality. The media spin reporting on the protests to support this myth.
Very few take the trouble to dig deeper. Were they to do this, they would see that the BLM movement does not correspond to the mental image promoted by the media. BLM co-founders Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza are avowed and “trained Marxists .” They make no secret of their program to destroy America, as most know it.
Digging deeper
Their radical goals can be found on the BLM website, and in numerous articles, tweets, and interviews. They extend far beyond the civil rights struggle of old. The BLM manifesto of beliefs wants to overthrow the present “racist” society and replace it with an egalitarian, socialist society that embraces all “oppressed” groups and identities — including class, gender identity, sexual orientation, and immigration status.
For example, the movement seeks to “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.” Theirs is “a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking.”
Perhaps its most dangerous belief is its stubborn adherence to class struggle ideology, applying it to their cause. In this case, it reduces all problems to a “systemic” racism that must be opposed in all social structures and institutions. It creates a false division of society and puts all racial and identity categories at war with the present established order.
Thus, for example, the BLM movement wants to abolish policing and prisons as instruments of “white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchal imperialism.” It targets all manifestations of capitalism as tools of oppression and seeks to defer and eventually abolish rent, mortgages, and utility fees.
Its religious position resorts to the endlessly recycled liberation theology that applies the Gospel to the Marxist class struggle narrative. Christ is turned into the redeemer of the oppressed against the oppressive establishment. Its co-founder Patrisse Cullors turns to old pagan rituals to ancestors and spirits for help in the struggle.
BLM’s idea of struggle also targets the traditional and hierarchical Church that it sees as a tool of white oppression. Thus, militants and sympathizers like Shaun King call for the overthrow of “white” Jesus representations, saints, and stained glass. All things that traditionally represent God and His moral law must go.
Presenting a false dilemma
With such radical goals, it is hard to imagine why the public would sympathize with the movement. Yet more perplexing is the support of the “racist” establishment that BLM unequivocally wants to destroy. Sports figures, tech CEOs, and clergymen seem to trip over each other to see who can out-empathize the other in coddling the BLM cause.
BLM successfully framed the debate to elicit the support of the many Americans who are against racism. BLM and the left blame the sufferings of all black people on racism. Further, they made racism “systemic” so that only a radical change of the American system will yield results. No individual can do a thing about it, except to make amends for participating in the system. Americans are presented with the choice to either support the “anti-racist” struggle or risk being labeled racist. Like all leftist alternatives, the two options represent a false dilemma.
As long as this false dilemma is not denounced and rejected, the BLM cause will continue to advance.
Why the BLM narrative is wrong
Americans must quickly come to grips with the fact that this BLM narrative is wrong. It does not correspond to reality and will destroy Christian America.
The BLM narrative is wrong because the leading cause of the suffering of the black community is not racism. Racism may influence the problem but is not the major cause of the plight of large parts of the black community.
What sinks Americans of any color into poverty is the breakdown of the family and moral living. America’s black community especially suffers from absent fathers, struggling single mothers, and children without stable and moral family lives.
This family and moral breakdown creates a cycle of poverty and suffering that makes it difficult, but not impossible, for children to be raised well. Generally, individuals of any race that establish a stable family life and faithfully follow the Christian moral code will prosper in American society. Study after study supports this conclusion. Any action to weaken these two things adds fuel to the fire of the frightful crisis inside the black community—and all American communities.
The BLM narrative is wrong because it takes this moral problem and turns into a racial one. In doing this, the misbehaving individual is absolved from the obligation to live morally and from all duties to family, community, nation, and God. All blame is ascribed to a racist system imposed by a white majority.
Yet worse, the BLM narrative is wrong because it proposes to destroy the institutions, traditions, and social structures needed to help solve the problem. Instead of strengthening the family, BLM aims to “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure” in favor of more fluid ways of living together. Instead of working inside a proven system that brings prosperity, BLM proposes socialist and Marxist schemes that are all proven failures. Communism brought indescribable misery and death to hundreds of millions throughout the twentieth century and still does this today. BLM favors the LGBTQ+ agenda that subverts the much-needed traditional family structure. The movement supports abortion that kills black babies in the womb and destroys the moral fiber of individuals and communities.
The BLM narrative is also wrong because it does not reflect the true sentiments of the black community, which is religious, patriotic, and generally manifests greater disapproval of homosexuality than other groups.
Targeting the moral law
The goals of Marxist movements are always the same. They want to tear down every manifestation of the natural moral law and establish an egalitarian and immoral society, in which individuals are not responsible for their actions. Ultimately, they revolt against God, Who is the author of this law. This is why Marxists attack the Church; the Church teaches people to know, love, and serve God.
America never was and is not perfect. But it does retain some precious remnants of Christian civilization. The greatest threat to America is the destruction of what remains of the Christian moral law. Should this occur, the nation will be overwhelmed by chaos. This danger imperils all America, not just the black community. All America is in a state of moral decadence and suffers from broken families, shattered communities, and empty churches. Everyone, all races, should unite to fight these common evils. Instead, BLM pursues a policy of division, rage, and class struggle that endangers the nation in this time of supreme crisis.
Thus, it is no surprise that Bibles and the American flags are set on fire. They represent the order to be toppled in the revolution that is coming. Americans need to realize the media’s BLM spin is a big lie that must be rejected. The movement is radically Marxist and homosexual and toils for the destruction of a Christian America. The future of the nation is at risk. Only a return to God and His law can avoid disaster.

lifesitenews--2020-08-10--How praying and reading history can help deliver America from BLM Marxist agitators

August 10 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — George Santayana , philosopher , novelist and poet , was known for his aphorisms .
He penned the statement , “ Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
” The Bible affirms that truth .
“ There is nothing new under the sun.
” As we see Marxist anarchy exploding all over our country in the name of Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) , those with a sense of history recognize its eerie familiarity .
The same violence , censorship , and tyranny characterized Masonic and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spain , Mexico , Cuba , and South America as well as the Fascist takeover of Germany .
The goal of BLM is clear : to transform the United States into one more Marxist country .
According to the “ herstory ” link on the BLM website , the group was founded by three “ radical Black organizers , ” Patrisse Cullors , Alicia Garza , and Opal Tometi .
In a 2015 video , Cullors bragged : Cullors credits Weather Underground organizer Eric Mann , jailed for conspiring to commit murder , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prison , police , and militarization abolitionist .
In an interview about her memoir , When They Call you a Terrorist , Cullors said , “ I ’ m queer , so is Alicia — we are openly queer black women.
” She said BLM should be Considering the backgrounds of its founders , one can hardly be surprised that among BLM ’ s goals is to “ disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure ... [ and ] foster a queer‐affirming network.
” Both of these agendas are trademarks of Marxist ideology used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , making it easy prey for communism .
For Christians , they also represent the embrace of intrinsic moral evils that deeply offend Almighty God .
The history is clear , and those who care about our country ’ s future need to study it .
The seeds were planted years ago in preparation for the unrest we see today .
In 1923 Carl Grünberg , a Marxist professor of law founded the Frankfurt School , the first Marxist research center attached to a major university , the University of Frankfurt .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on destroying Western culture and the Christian religion in order to prepare the communist utopia .
The Frankfurt School injected Marxism into the cultural life of the United States , especially after 1933 , when Hitler banned the institute and it moved briefly to Geneva before finding a home at Columbia University in New York City .
From there , the Marxists injected their poisonous theories directly into the U.S. academy for almost two decades before returning to Germany in 1951 .
Herbert Marcuse , one of the most prominent members of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and political theorist , promoted the work of two other Frankfurt philosophers , Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno .
He transformed their ideas , rather obscure in the original , into a popularized form in order to influence college students .

Horkheimer believed that Marxism must be shifted from economics to culture .
He believed that the working class “ would not be the agent of revolution ... it was becoming part of the middle class.
” In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ act as a vaccine against class envy , the root of communism .
Adorno promoted the idea that since “ life under capitalism was by definition alienating , music , art , architecture , etc .
must also be alienating in order to be ‘ true.
’ ” Instead of promoting truth , beauty , and goodness , hallmarks of a civilized culture , cultural Marxists elevated the ugly , the dissonant , and the brutal to reduce humanity to the level of beasts .
The ideas of these men , combined with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , followers of Sigmund Freud ’ s school of psychiatry ( repression is bad , let it all hang out ) would provide the tools for undermining and destroying Western culture .
The success of Horkheimer ’ s and Adorno ’ s ideas is clearly evident , even in religion .
Consider all the ugly churches built between the 1960s and 1980s , the horrendous “ music ” with neither melody nor harmony ( only a jungle beat ) , the ugliness of modern art , the stripped down Bauhaus movement in architecture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ television , the casual pornography of modern literature , etc .
Above all , they lit the fuse of the Sexual Revolution , spreading evil like shrapnel throughout the world .
In a 2017 article in Chronicles Magazine , William Lind described Marcuse ’ s theory from his book Eros and Civilization .
Marcuse argued : “ [ B ] y replacing repression with ‘ non-procreative eros ’ and dumping the ‘ reality principle ’ for the pleasure principle , ’ we could create a society of no work and all play.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a coalition of young people , blacks , feminist women , gays , etc.

” In a famous essay written in the 1960 ’ s , Marcuse argued for what he called ‘ liberating tolerance , ’ which he defined as tolerance for all ideas and movements coming from the left and intolerance for all ideas and movements coming from the right [ . ]

You can not defy it and be a member of the elite .
Cultural Marxism ’ s death grip on education , both in the public schools and in the universities ensures that it has been pumped into succeeding generations as well .

There is no mystery .
It has nothing to do with espionage .
I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic [ . ]
... That ’ s probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films .
But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all .
According to my opinion , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caliber , only about 15 % of time , money , and manpower is spent on espionage as such .
The other 85 % is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion , active measures , or psychological warfare .
What it basically means is : to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves , their families , their community , and their country [ . ]
... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages .
Bezmenov went on to describe the first stage , demoralization , which takes 15–20 years and was already well underway in 1985 .
Demoralization aims to call into question all the moral underpinnings of a society .
Truth no longer matters ; facts are irrelevant .
Perception is everything .
The success of the demoralization of America is clear from the collapse of rational thought and moral reasoning since the 1960s .
Consider Bezmenov ’ s phrase , “ to change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most people believe that reality is fluid .
“ You have your truth ; I have mine ” is the modern mantra .
When a large percentage of a society accepts that a man saying he ’ s a woman or a woman saying she ’ s a man makes it true , the culture is in serious reality denial .
If , as Bezmenov says , those who are psychologically conditioned can not change , are we doomed to live in this insanity for at least another generation ?
And is there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be any better ?
From the secular viewpoint , it seems hopeless .
But we are not mere creatures of a secular society .
As Christians , we live with one foot in the world and one in Heaven .
Every time we enter a Catholic church , we step out of time and into eternity , where history is no longer a timeline , but a tapestry .
It ’ s there , in that eternity , that we find answers .
We are clearly in trouble as we watch our cities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a worse devastation than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ?
Yet a rectory at ground zero in Hiroshima where a group of priests faithfully practiced the Fatima devotions was spared .
Not one of those priests ever experienced the devastating physical effects of radiation sickness .
The miracles linked to the rosary have saved numerous countries , from Portugal ’ s protection during the Spanish Civil War and World War II to the conversion of Mexico after Mary ’ s apparition at Guadalupe to the communists withdrawing from Austria in 1955 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defeat of the attempted communist takeover of Brazil in 1964 by a women ’ s rosary crusade .
We are not condemned to repeat history ’ s evil errors ; we can choose to repeat its moments of grace .
The solution to cultural Marxism in many places and at many times has been devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary .
Bishop Athanasius Schneider recognizes that and is calling for a crusade of reparation for offenses against Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist .
We need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost hour in Gethsemane .
He quotes the words of Karol Wojtyła ( Pope John Paul II ) : A question comes to mind .
Do we have the will to embrace prayer and fasting for the conversion of the world like the little shepherd children of Fatima ?
If we do , then we need to defend our country .
We can do that most effectively at the local level by attending and testifying at city or county board meetings or by visiting local police departments to thank those who defend and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Let us pray and not stand by idly while America falls to Marxist agitators .
As people of faith have shown in the past , we can defeat communism through the powerful intercession of Mary and by working to promote all things in Christ .

August 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — George Santayana, philosopher, novelist and poet, was known for his aphorisms. He penned the statement, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The Bible affirms that truth. “There is nothing new under the sun.” As we see Marxist anarchy exploding all over our country in the name of Black Lives Matter (BLM), those with a sense of history recognize its eerie familiarity. The same violence, censorship, and tyranny characterized Masonic and communist uprisings in France, Russia, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, and South America as well as the Fascist takeover of Germany. The goal of BLM is clear: to transform the United States into one more Marxist country.
According to the “herstory” link on the BLM website, the group was founded by three “radical Black organizers,” Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi. In a 2015 video, Cullors bragged:
The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers[.] … We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.
Cullors credits Weather Underground organizer Eric Mann, jailed for conspiring to commit murder, as her mentor and calls herself a prison, police, and militarization abolitionist. In an interview about her memoir, When They Call you a Terrorist, Cullors said, “I’m queer, so is Alicia — we are openly queer black women.” She said BLM should be
an organization not only led by black women, but it’s also a movement led by black queer women, black trans women, and that we can’t deny those identities and we can’t put those on the backburners, as we’ve seen historically in other civil rights movements.
Considering the backgrounds of its founders, one can hardly be surprised that among BLM’s goals is to “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure … [and] foster a queer‐affirming network.” Both of these agendas are trademarks of Marxist ideology used to break down the morals of a country, making it easy prey for communism. For Christians, they also represent the embrace of intrinsic moral evils that deeply offend Almighty God.
The history is clear, and those who care about our country’s future need to study it. The seeds were planted years ago in preparation for the unrest we see today. In 1923 Carl Grünberg, a Marxist professor of law founded the Frankfurt School, the first Marxist research center attached to a major university, the University of Frankfurt. It hired and promoted Marxist ideologues intent on destroying Western culture and the Christian religion in order to prepare the communist utopia. The Frankfurt School injected Marxism into the cultural life of the United States, especially after 1933, when Hitler banned the institute and it moved briefly to Geneva before finding a home at Columbia University in New York City.

Horkheimer believed that Marxism must be shifted from economics to culture. He believed that the working class “would not be the agent of revolution … it was becoming part of the middle class.” In other words, hard work and success act as a vaccine against class envy, the root of communism. Adorno promoted the idea that since “life under capitalism was by definition alienating, music, art, architecture, etc. must also be alienating in order to be ‘true.’” Instead of promoting truth, beauty, and goodness, hallmarks of a civilized culture, cultural Marxists elevated the ugly, the dissonant, and the brutal to reduce humanity to the level of beasts.

Political correctness is endemic; “follow the Marxist leader” is the game of the moment.

If, as Bezmenov says, those who are psychologically conditioned cannot change, are we doomed to live in this insanity for at least another generation? And is there real hope that the next generation will be any better? From the secular viewpoint, it seems hopeless.
But we are not mere creatures of a secular society. As Christians, we live with one foot in the world and one in Heaven. Every time we enter a Catholic church, we step out of time and into eternity, where history is no longer a timeline, but a tapestry. It’s there, in that eternity, that we find answers.
We are clearly in trouble as we watch our cities burn, but has there ever been a worse devastation than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Yet a rectory at ground zero in Hiroshima where a group of priests faithfully practiced the Fatima devotions was spared. Not one of those priests ever experienced the devastating physical effects of radiation sickness. The miracles linked to the rosary have saved numerous countries, from Portugal’s protection during the Spanish Civil War and World War II to the conversion of Mexico after Mary’s apparition at Guadalupe to the communists withdrawing from Austria in 1955 without a shot being fired to the defeat of the attempted communist takeover of Brazil in 1964 by a women’s rosary crusade.
We are not condemned to repeat history’s evil errors; we can choose to repeat its moments of grace. The solution to cultural Marxism in many places and at many times has been devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Bishop Athanasius Schneider recognizes that and is calling for a crusade of reparation for offenses against Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. We need to recover, he says, the lost hour in Gethsemane. He quotes the words of Karol Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II):
And now the Church seeks to recover that hour in Gethsemane — the hour lost by Peter, James and John — so as to compensate for the Master’s lack of companionship which increased his soul’s suffering. The desire to recover that hour has become a real need for many hearts, especially for those who live as fully as they can the mystery of the divine heart. The Lord Jesus allows us to meet him in that hour [and] he invites us to share the prayer of his heart.
A question comes to mind. Do we have the will to embrace prayer and fasting for the conversion of the world like the little shepherd children of Fatima? If we do, then we need to defend our country. We can do that most effectively at the local level by attending and testifying at city or county board meetings or by visiting local police departments to thank those who defend and protect us on a daily basis. Let us pray and not stand by idly while America falls to Marxist agitators. As people of faith have shown in the past, we can defeat communism through the powerful intercession of Mary and by working to promote all things in Christ.

lifesitenews--2020-08-10--Renowned European scientist: COVID-19 was engineered in China lab, effective vaccine ‘unlikely’

August 10 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – It will not be possible for the Dr. Fauci ’ s of the world to dismiss Professor Giuseppe Tritto as a crank .
Not only is he an internationally known expert in biotechnology and nanotechnology who has had a stellar academic career , but he is also the president of the World Academy of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies ( WABT ) , an institution founded under the aegis of UNESCO in 1997 .
In other words , he is a man of considerable stature in the global scientific community .
Equally important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to analyze the effect of biotechnologies—like genetic engineering—on humanity .
In his new book , this world-class scientist does exactly that .
And what he says is that the China Virus definitely wasn ’ t a freak of nature that happened to cross the species barrier from bat to man .
It was genetically engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology ’ s P4 ( high-containment ) lab in a program supervised by the Chinese military .
Prof. Tritto ’ s book , which at present is available only in Italian , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chimera che ha cambiato il Mondo ( China COVID 19 : The chimera that changed the world ) .
It was published on August 4 by a major Italian press , Edizioni Cantagalli , which coincidently also published the Italian edition of one of my books , Population Control ( Controllo Demografico in Italian ) several years ago .
What sets Prof. Tritto ’ s book apart is the fact that it demonstrates—conclusively , in my view—the pathway by which a PLA-owned coronavirus was genetically modified to become the China Virus now ravaging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doubt that it is a “ chimera ” , an organism created in a lab .
He also connects the dots linking the Wuhan lab to France and the United States , showing how both countries provided financial and scientific help to the Chinese as they began to conduct ever more dangerous bioengineering experiments .
Although neither American nor French virologists are responsible for the end result—a highly infectious coronavirus and a global pandemic—their early involvement may explain why so many insist that the “ chimera ” must have come from nature .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that they might have had a hand in it .
Those of us who , early on , argued for a laboratory origin were dismissed as conspiracy theorists .
Our articles were censored as “ fake news , ” often by American virologists who knew perfectly well what the truth was , but preferred to protect China , and themselves , from scrutiny lest they themselves be implicated .
Dr. Tritto ’ s 272 pages of names , dates , places , and facts leaves such apologists with no place to hide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epidemic of 2003 , as the Chinese attempt to develop vaccines to combat the deadly disease .
Dr. Shi Zhengli , about whom I have previously written , was in charge of the program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
In vaccine development , reverse genetics is used to create viral strains that have reduced pathogenicity but to which the immune system responds by creating antibodies against the virus .
But reverse genetics can also be used to create viral strains that have increased pathogenicity .
That is what Dr. Shi , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increasingly to focus her research on , according to Prof. Tritto .
Dr. Shi first solicited help from the French government , which built the P4 lab , and from the country ’ s Pasteur institute , which showed her how to manipulate HIV genomes .
The gene insertion method used is called “ reverse genetics system 2.
” Using this method , she inserted an HIV segment into a coronavirus discovered in horseshoe bats to make it more infectious and lethal .
The U.S. was involved as well , particularly Prof Ralph @ @ @ @ @ @ @ North Carolina , who was on the receiving end of major grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease .
This is , of course , Dr. Anthony Fauci ’ s shop .
Fauci was a big proponent of “ gain of function ” research , and when this was prohibited at Baric ’ s lab because it was considered to be too dangerous , the research was shifted to China .
Prof. Tritto believes that , while Dr. Shi ’ s research began as an effort to develop a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an effort to use “ reverse genetics ” to build lethal biological weapons .
This was the reason that the Wuhan lab became China ’ s leading center for virology research in recent years , attracting major funding and support from the central government .
I would add that the rule in Communist-controlled China is “ let the civilian support the military , ” which means that as soon as Dr. Shi ’ s research showed any potential military uses the PLA would have begun exercising control of the research .
This came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when China ’ s leading expert on bioweapons , People ’ s Liberation Army Major General Chen Wei , was immediately placed in charge of the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
As for Dr. Shi Zheng-Li , she seems to have disappeared .
As Dr. Tritto explained in an interview with Italian media : In 2005 , after the SARS epidemic , the Wuhan Institute of Virology was born , headed by Dr. Shi Zheng-Li , who collects coronaviruses from certain bat species and recombines them with other viral components in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came into contact with American researchers led by Prof. Ralph Baric , who in turn works on recombinant viruses based on coronaviruses .
Thanks to the matrix viruses provided by Shi , Baric created in 2015 a mouse Sars-virus chimera , which has a pathogenic effect on human cells analyzed in vitro .
At that point , the China-US collaboration becomes competition .
Shi wants to work on a more powerful virus to make a more powerful vaccine : it combines a bat virus with a pangolin virus in vitro and in 2017 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some scientific articles .
Her research attracts the interest of the Chinese military and medical-biological sector which deals with biological weapons used as a deterrent for defensive and offensive purposes .
Thus Shi is joined by doctors and biologists who belong to the political-military sphere , such as Guo Deyin , a scholar of anti-AIDS and anti-viral hepatitis vaccines and expert in genetic recombination techniques .
The introduction of the new engineered inserts into the virus genome is the result of the collaboration between the Shi team and that of Guo Deyin .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a scientific point of view , is a success .
So much so that , once the epidemic has broken out , the two researchers ask WHO to register it as a new virus , H-nCoV-19 ( Human new Covid 19 ) , and not as another virus derived from SARS .
It is reasonable to think that Shi acted only from the point of view of scientific prestige , without however taking into account the risks in terms of security and the political-military interests that her research would have aroused .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide the complete genome of the China Virus to the WHO or to other countries , Dr. Tritto explained that “ providing the matrix [ source ] virus would have meant admitting that SARS-CoV-2 [ China Virus ] was created in the laboratory .
In fact , the incomplete genome made available by China lacks some inserts of AIDS amino acids , which itself is a smoking gun.
” The key question , for those of us who are living through the pandemic , concerns the development of a vaccine .
On this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : In other words , by withholding from the world the original genetic code of the China Virus that it created , the Chinese Communist Party is ensuring that no completely effective vaccine will ever be developed by the West .
In other words , China continues to lie , and people continue to die .

Professor Giuseppe Tritto, an internationally known expert in biotechnology and nanotechnology, says that the China Virus definitely wasn’t a freak of nature that happened to cross the species barrier from bat to man.

What sets Prof. Tritto’s book apart is the fact that it demonstrates—conclusively, in my view—the pathway by which a PLA-owned coronavirus was genetically modified to become the China Virus now ravaging the world. His account leaves no doubt that it is a “chimera”, an organism created in a lab.
He also connects the dots linking the Wuhan lab to France and the United States, showing how both countries provided financial and scientific help to the Chinese as they began to conduct ever more dangerous bioengineering experiments. Although neither American nor French virologists are responsible for the end result—a highly infectious coronavirus and a global pandemic—their early involvement may explain why so many insist that the “chimera” must have come from nature.

Those of us who, early on, argued for a laboratory origin were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Our articles were censored as “fake news,” often by American virologists who knew perfectly well what the truth was, but preferred to protect China, and themselves, from scrutiny lest they themselves be implicated.
Dr. Tritto’s 272 pages of names, dates, places, and facts leaves such apologists with no place to hide. The story begins following the SARS epidemic of 2003, as the Chinese attempt to develop vaccines to combat the deadly disease. Dr. Shi Zhengli, about whom I have previously written, was in charge of the program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
In vaccine development, reverse genetics is used to create viral strains that have reduced pathogenicity but to which the immune system responds by creating antibodies against the virus. But reverse genetics can also be used to create viral strains that have increased pathogenicity. That is what Dr. Shi, encouraged by PLA bioweapons experts, began increasingly to focus her research on, according to Prof. Tritto.
Dr. Shi first solicited help from the French government, which built the P4 lab, and from the country’s Pasteur institute, which showed her how to manipulate HIV genomes. The gene insertion method used is called “reverse genetics system 2.” Using this method, she inserted an HIV segment into a coronavirus discovered in horseshoe bats to make it more infectious and lethal.

Baric, of the University of North Carolina, who was on the receiving end of major grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. This is, of course, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s shop. Fauci was a big proponent of “gain of function” research, and when this was prohibited at Baric’s lab because it was considered to be too dangerous, the research was shifted to China.
Prof. Tritto believes that, while Dr. Shi’s research began as an effort to develop a vaccine against SARS, it gradually morphed into an effort to use “reverse genetics” to build lethal biological weapons. This was the reason that the Wuhan lab became China’s leading center for virology research in recent years, attracting major funding and support from the central government.
I would add that the rule in Communist-controlled China is “let the civilian support the military,” which means that as soon as Dr. Shi’s research showed any potential military uses the PLA would have begun exercising control of the research. This came out in the open with the outbreak, when China’s leading expert on bioweapons, People’s Liberation Army Major General Chen Wei, was immediately placed in charge of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As for Dr. Shi Zheng-Li, she seems to have disappeared.
As Dr. Tritto explained in an interview with Italian media:
In 2005, after the SARS epidemic, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was born, headed by Dr. Shi Zheng-Li, who collects coronaviruses from certain bat species and recombines them with other viral components in order to create vaccines. In 2010 she came into contact with American researchers led by Prof. Ralph Baric, who in turn works on recombinant viruses based on coronaviruses. Thanks to the matrix viruses provided by Shi, Baric created in 2015 a mouse Sars-virus chimera, which has a pathogenic effect on human cells analyzed in vitro. At that point, the China-US collaboration becomes competition. Shi wants to work on a more powerful virus to make a more powerful vaccine: it combines a bat virus with a pangolin virus in vitro and in 2017 publishes the results of this research in some scientific articles.

It is reasonable to think that Shi acted only from the point of view of scientific prestige, without however taking into account the risks in terms of security and the political-military interests that her research would have aroused.
When asked why China has refused to provide the complete genome of the China Virus to the WHO or to other countries, Dr. Tritto explained that “providing the matrix [source] virus would have meant admitting that SARS-CoV-2 [China Virus] was created in the laboratory. In fact, the incomplete genome made available by China lacks some inserts of AIDS amino acids, which itself is a smoking gun.”
The key question, for those of us who are living through the pandemic, concerns the development of a vaccine. On this score, Prof. Tritto is not optimistic:
Given the many mutations of SARS-CoV-2, it is extremely unlikely that a single vaccine that blocks the virus will be found. At the moment 11 different strains have been identified: the A2a genetic line which developed in Europe and the B1 genetic line which took root in North America are more contagious than the 0 strain originating in Wuhan. I therefore believe that, at the most, a multivalent vaccine can be found effective on 4-5 strains and thus able to cover 70-75% of the world’s population.
In other words, by withholding from the world the original genetic code of the China Virus that it created, the Chinese Communist Party is ensuring that no completely effective vaccine will ever be developed by the West.
In other words, China continues to lie, and people continue to die.

In Fatima you warned against these errors, as you spoke about the errors of Russia. You are the Mediatrix of all graces. Implore your Divine Son to grant this special grace for the Pope: that he might consecrate Russia to your Immaculate Heart, so that Russia will be converted, a period of peace will be granted to the world, and your Immaculate Heart will triumph, through an authentic renewal of the Church in the splendor of the purity of the Catholic Faith, of the sacredness of Divine worship and of the holiness of the Christian life. O Queen of the holy Rosary and our sweet Mother, turn your merciful eyes to us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer. Amen. + Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana
To learn more about the urgency of responding to Our Lady’s message at Fatima, and about what you can do, please read Cardinal Burke’s 2017 address at the Rome Life Forum.
As St. Padre Pio once said, “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” Through prayer, God can shape history, change the world, and bring about a great time of renewal and peace for the Church and for the world, through the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart. Join us today!

lifesitenews--2020-08-10--Vatican bishop says Holy See’s secret deal with Chinese Communist Party will be renewed

ROME , August 10 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A Vatican bishop close to Pope Francis has said that the Holy See will renew its controversial secret deal with China and that “ the initial experience went well.
” With the two year Vatican-China agreement due to expire on September 22 , Argentine Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo , the chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences , told the Chinese Communist Party–controlled Global Times that “ they are going to renew it , which means that the initial experience went well.

” In September 2018 , when the Vatican-China deal was first signed , Sánchez issued a rebuke to critics of the deal , which was also published in the Global Times .

Sánchez has previously praised China as “extraordinary” and said that their communist regime is the “best [at] implementing the social doctrine of the Church.” In September 2018, when the Vatican-China deal was first signed, Sánchez issued a rebuke to critics of the deal, which was also published in the Global Times.

In April, a 60-year-old Chinese Catholic priest was arrested for refusing to join the state-run “independent Catholic Church.”
Earlier this year, Catholics in England called for the Vatican’s deal with China to be “torn up” while drawing particular attention to research presented to the U.N. by the London-based human rights group, China Tribunal, of the Chinese government’s involvement with forced organ harvesting.
Pope Francis, meanwhile, has repeatedly called on Chinese Catholics to be “good citizens”, as well as telling them not to engage in “proselytism.”
Fr. Benedict Kiely, a Catholic priest incardinated in the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, told Catholic journalist Damian Thompson in a podcast published last week by The Spectator that the Chinese government is attempting to replace worship of God with worship of the State.

Kiely said the Vatican “seems to be either exceedingly naive, or exceedingly stupid, or worse, to imagine that the Chinese Communist Party is going to agree to anything that will aid or help actual faith in China.”
“It has nothing to do with helping Chinese Catholic Christians to live their faith, it’s about control of Chinese Catholic Chritians,” Kiely said.

Cardinal Joseph Zen, the former bishop of Hong Kong, has described the Vatican deal with China as a “betrayal of the real Church.” Zen says he has seen the text and that it is “very mild, in no way offensive to the Chinese government.”

Argentina pro-lifers recently mobilized millions to stop abortion. Their Aug 8 digital rally will be massive

August 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – On August 8 , 2018 , the pro-life movement in Argentina won a monumental victory : by just a few votes , the Senate rejected the legalization of abortion .
This victory , Jose Carmuega of the pro-life group Unidad Provida Argentina told me , was “ not just for Argentinians , but for the entire world .
It was a sign of hope that inspired our world-renowned ‘ Save Both Lives ’ slogan.
” The movement that rose up in response to the challenge of the abortion activists in Argentina , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( The Light Blue Wave ) spread across the continent that year , with pro-lifers from Chile to the Dominican Republic adopting symbolism and marching with blue handkerchiefs , shirts , hats , balloons , and flags .
From the air , these marches look like an ocean of pro-lifers , flooding the streets and demanding the protection of pre-born children .
Unidad Provida , which was created when more than 200 pro-life organizations came together in 2018 , is one of several pro-life organizations that has taken the lead in organizing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” a day of celebration , strategizing , and inspiration .
COVID-19 has forced organizers to cancel the planned marches this year—last year they launched an international party to commemorate their 2018 victory—but like the digital marches in countries like Canada and Ireland , they plan to host “ high impact interviews ” and “ reports to explain and showcase the work of The Light Blue Wave ” on their YouTube channel on August 8 .
Twenty-six-year-old Camila Duro , who works with the pro-life group Frente Joven ( I interviewed her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) told me that the push to legalize abortion in Argentina has been relentless .
On December 12 , 2018 , the Argentinian Ministry of Health issued a protocol intended to expand abortion in hospitals if the pregnancy resulted from sexual assault .
The protocol also stipulated that girls as young as thirteen could procure abortions without either parent knowing .
This , Duro told me , is “ an unrestricted expansion of the ‘ causes ’ to make ‘ legal ’ abortions from a verdict of our Supreme Court in 2012.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no madres '' ( Girls no mothers ) Campaign , with celebrities posting pictures of themselves as children and “ telling distorted tales to the people ” to push for legalization .
As a result , Duro told me , the pro-life movement faces “ a huge problem .
Our new government [ elected in 2019 ] is frankly supportive of the ‘ legal abortion ’ cause .
We are about to celebrate the second anniversary of ‘ 8A ’ ( the date of the abortion law ’ s rejection ) but we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ celebrities , etc.—are doing their best to see abortion approved in Argentina .
By the way , abortion isn ’ t just a political thing—the people who work to legalize abortion are also trying to normalize it in our culture.

The pro-lifers of the Light Blue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world to join them on August 8 , and seek their support and solidarity from afar .
“ In Argentina , we feel your warm regards and your prayers , ” Duro told me .

Argentinian pro-life groups’ online pro-life rally (with groups in other countries) this weekend is part of their ‘Blue Wave Movement’ to push back against an ongoing attempt at abortion legalization

August 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – On August 8, 2018, the pro-life movement in Argentina won a monumental victory: by just a few votes, the Senate rejected the legalization of abortion. This victory, Jose Carmuega of the pro-life group Unidad Provida Argentina told me, was “not just for Argentinians, but for the entire world. It was a sign of hope that inspired our world-renowned ‘Save Both Lives’ slogan.”
The movement that rose up in response to the challenge of the abortion activists in Argentina, which became known as La Ola Celeste (The Light Blue Wave) spread across the continent that year, with pro-lifers from Chile to the Dominican Republic adopting symbolism and marching with blue handkerchiefs, shirts, hats, balloons, and flags. From the air, these marches look like an ocean of pro-lifers, flooding the streets and demanding the protection of pre-born children.
Unidad Provida, which was created when more than 200 pro-life organizations came together in 2018, is one of several pro-life organizations that has taken the lead in organizing the “Actions For Both Lives International Day,” a day of celebration, strategizing, and inspiration. COVID-19 has forced organizers to cancel the planned marches this year—last year they launched an international party to commemorate their 2018 victory—but like the digital marches in countries like Canada and Ireland, they plan to host “high impact interviews” and “reports to explain and showcase the work of The Light Blue Wave” on their YouTube channel on August 8.

This, Duro told me, is “an unrestricted expansion of the ‘causes’ to make ‘legal’ abortions from a verdict of our Supreme Court in 2012.”

Abortion activists also launched their “Niñas no madres” (Girls no mothers) Campaign, with celebrities posting pictures of themselves as children and “telling distorted tales to the people” to push for legalization. As a result, Duro told me, the pro-life movement faces “a huge problem. Our new government [elected in 2019] is frankly supportive of the ‘legal abortion’ cause. We are about to celebrate the second anniversary of ‘8A’ (the date of the abortion law’s rejection) but we know that the most powerful people—politicians, celebrities, etc.—are doing their best to see abortion approved in Argentina. By the way, abortion isn’t just a political thing—the people who work to legalize abortion are also trying to normalize it in our culture.”
Despite that, the Blue Wave movement that put millions of people on the streets in 2018 and since is not going anywhere. In the past two years, Duro observed, “we were able to consolidate as a movement and we acquired an identity. We’re more connected, and we need to work hard to see our ideas represented in the public and in politics. This blue flag isn’t a whim. We’re fighting to see a Culture of Life in our countries, and we need to be in this together. There’s a new pro-life generation that wants societies without abortion and respect for all human life.”
Abortion activists, for the moment, appear to have the political power, while the growing pro-life movement has the manpower. The pro-lifers of the Light Blue Wave are inviting pro-lifers from around the world to join them on August 8, and seek their support and solidarity from afar. “In Argentina, we feel your warm regards and your prayers,” Duro told me. “Thank you all.”
