If you want heroes, go to Syria. There are heroes in Syria. But who are the heroes? What is a hero? I learned about heroes early in life. Most of us that fought in Vietnam were teenagers.
I escaped that by a month when I joined a Marine Landing Team in 1969, operating on and off the coast of I Corps in Vietnam. The ship library had books on Vietnam, two by French writer Bernard Fall, Two Vietnams and Street Without Joy.
In training, Vietnam was explained simply, “the land of the pissed off people.” American policy made no sense, a cursory study of history showed that the US was there in violation of peace accords and that the Diem regime in Saigon was a brutal dictatorship propped up by Washington.
Over half a century later, the same policy and despite the talk, the only changes are in fabricated history and fake news.
The US government doesn’t like Americans who go to Syria. They don’t want us to know the truth. If you go, expect to be greeted (detained) by Homeland Security and, if lucky, to be released by the FBI, albeit “eventually.”
During one visit, leading an American delegation of academics and writers, but also accompanied by Colonel James Hanke, a retired senior NATO intelligence officer, and nuclear weapons specialist, we were on a visit to the old city in Damascus.
This was a dinner for delegates. Colonel Hanke, I call him “Jimmie,” and I, along with Jim Dean and about a dozen other Americans, some rather better known than us, lined up at the entrance of an open-air restaurant.
The tables were set but we were told to wait. Food was being served, the tables loaded with wartime delicacies, food in Damascus during the siege was limited at best.
Then we saw them, those who were selected to eat first. Two dozen arrived, most carrying more than one AK 47, battered weapons, some obviously with homemade lower receivers, which means built out of steel sheets with hammers and files.
The clothing was rotting off them like it was with us in Vietnam so many decades before, they were filthy, tired, but we also saw smiles. They streamed past us, delegations from Russia, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Jordan, and the EU as well, Netherlands, Britain, France, Italy, Norway, took their seats and ate.
In five minutes, they were back on their feet, and soon took up positions around the restaurant. These were heroes. These were people, men, and women, fighting for their country against all odds, something any real soldier dreams of but no American has done during my lifetime.
Americans who fight, albeit heroically if that world can apply, enforce policy, policy bought by special interests or for America’s fake allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Jimmie and I saw in their faces they were like not only us but so many we had met during our military years, his lasting decades.
Damascus is not a simple place, it drips of politics, of its own special interest groups, war profiteers, smugglers, Western spies, with the lobby of the Dama Rose Hotel looking much like Rick’s Café from the film Casablanca.
With my own decades spent in varying forms of intelligence, a story best left untold, separating wolves from sheep was easy. What I did note, what those of us who had, in our own way, shared some common experience with those men who sat and ate first, noted, was that Syria is a very special place.
Most of us have spent time in the Middle East, for me considerable time, some with cab drivers and farmers, but too much with generals and government ministers, and on occasion, the ruling princes.
Syria was different. It felt like a nation, in ways Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, and so many other nations, in fact, all other nations did not. Syria wasn’t about Assad and his “regime” but about the people of Syria. They are Syria.
The feel is like nowhere else, except maybe, just maybe, a memory from so long ago, like a dream, America and John Kennedy, a time when everything seemed possible.
Syria is more than Assad, as Trump calls him, an “animal.” For those who escape the hate and propaganda Americans bathe in, it is easy to see, Assad is almost a Christ-like figure. Never before has a nation with so much power arrayed against it fought its way out of the darkness, except maybe Vietnam.
The wars are always the same, a great evil seeks to enslave a people, grind them into the ground, and the same lesson, time after time, is learned, that great power isn’t great at all.
In Vietnam, so long ago, it was easy to see, who the real enemy really was. For Marines in Vietnam, it was months in the field without break, without a hot meal, not that anyone in those temperatures ever wanted a turkey dinner with all the “fixins.”
We came to understand the enemy because we became the enemy, we became the victims, some two million Americans, children of the poor, who would die by the tens of thousands with most dying soon after the war as well, suicide, Agent Orange, cancer, neglect, or the real disease, the sickness in America’s soul, a sickness that is now murdering the world.
The heroes of Syria don’t stand against the United States, a nation that disappeared long ago. It’s no secret, that Trump’s folly in Syria, one that will end predictably in shame and defeat, is on behalf of his masters, not just those we see, Exxon, Raytheon, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, but centuries of depraved and debauched manipulators that buy and sell governments, but this time, not the government of Syria.
Syria isn’t Assad. Syria is the Syrian people, one of those oddly cohesive nations, a nation with national pride and identity, something the US has lacked, perhaps forever. Trump has promised Syria’s oil to Exxon Corporation, which would guarantee the Syrian people years of poverty, cold winters, and starvation.
This one act of evil, in itself criminal, blatant and cruel, defines the divides between people, those who suffer and choose to fight any odds and those who have grown soft, lulled into complacency, tolerating evil, even embracing it.
This leads to unpleasant realizations from time to time. Can a $10,000 a month military specialist involved in aiding terrorists or stealing oil, all done in support of war crimes, be heroic?
You see, heroism really matters, right and wrong really matters as does truth and lies. When we blur the lines between organized crime thug and “warfighter” as clearly demonstrated in America’s Middle Eastern adventures, the prevailing narrative of the West, one that so often demonizes real heroes, takes on a uniquely evil aspect.
The question then is do we travel this road, renewing the moral dialectic? Do we even want heroes?

Shortly after the strikes, Iranian officials advised US commanders against embarking on any new military action, warning that a more crushing response will be awaiting them. They have been urging US forces to swiftly leave the region.
In a live televised speech on Wednesday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei highlighted the need for the US military presence — the source of all corruption in the region — to come to an end.
“A slap was delivered last night, but what is important is that the seditious presence of America in the region should be ended,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday.
Also speaking on Wednesday, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Baqeri called for the US armed forces to withdraw from the region immediately.
“The time has come for the evil rulers of the United States to withdraw their terrorist army forces as quickly as possible from the region.”
US officials have so far declined to release any information about the damage to their bases or casualties inflicted by the missile strikes.
The White House canceled a formal address to the Americans Tuesday night. Reacting to the attack in a Twitter post, President Donald Trump claimed “All is well.” He said an assessment of casualties and damage from the strikes was underway and that he would make a statement on Wednesday morning.
The reprisal was staged in the early hours of Wednesday, hitting Ain al-Assad Airbase in the western Iraqi province of Anbar and another outpost in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

The missiles were launched shortly before the burial of General Soleimani in his hometown Kerman, which came in the wake of days of enormous funeral processions held in several cities across Iran and neighboring Iraq.

General Soleimani was cooperating with the PMU and the Iraqi government against the most deadly terrorist outfits to ever afflict the region, including the Daesh Takfiri group.
The Islamic Republic has denounced the assassinations as “an act of state terrorism.”
Tehran had vowed vengeance for the blood of its commander, with Ayatollah Khamenei warning of a “harsh revenge” in a speech that followed the assassinations.
Iran hit ‘command center for US terror operations’
The IRGC’s Deputy Commander for Operations Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, meanwhile, has confirmed that Iran’s missiles “precisely hit their intended targets.”
According to the official, even though intelligence showed that US forces across the region — including in the Ain al-Assad Airbase — had been on high alert and fully prepared prior to the strikes, they completely failed to intercept the missiles fired by the Corps.
They failed to even slightly divert the Corps’ ballistic missiles, he told Tasnim News Agency on Wednesday. “Not even by a few meters,” he said.
The base had in recent days turned into a depot for American arms and military equipment of all sorts, said the official, adding that the IRGC targeted Ain al-Assad because it was the headquarters “for planning and executing the US terrorist operations.”
“The IRGC managed to destroy the arrogance’s command center in the region,” he noted.
Nilforoushan further warned that any potential act of mischief by the enemy would be met with a “staggering, painful, crushing, and regret-inducing response.”
“Our response will go as far as getting even [with the enemy],” he added and cautioned the regional countries that whatever part of their soil that could be used by the aggressors already lies within the IRGC’s crosshairs.
Nilforoushan said the Islamic Republic was investigating Israel’s involvement in the assassination.
“The regime should know that none of its activities and contributions to the atrocity would escape our attention,” he said.

Years of tension and indirect conflict between the US and Iran have evolved directly into the conflict area. At this stage, it is useful to briefly summarize the background of US and Iran governments targets.
As we know, the US aimed to settle in Iraq, the oil center of the Middle East after Afghanistan. However, after the 2003 invasion, he lost thousands of troops, withdrew most of his troops, and now continues with proxy war. However, the US settlement in the region is not very comfortable.
A partnership of the US with the PKK terrorist organization in Syria does not have a serious oil target. Because Syrian oil can only cover the expenses of the terrorist organization. The real issue is Iraq and Gulf Oil. The aim of the major oil chiefs directing the US administration is to transport the Gulf oil to the European market in a cheaper, safer and shorter way through pipelines from the Middle East to the Mediterranean Sea. Because the Persian Gulf, the starting point of Middle Eastern oil, has been under Iranian political and military pressure.
Anyway, let’s skip this and comment directly on the agenda:
Iran has long been seeking expansion into the Shi’ite regions of the Middle East, and its military leadership was led by Qasim Suleimani, the commander of the Jerusalem forces. In recent years, Iranian influence has increased unpredictably in both Syria and Iraq, and this has jeopardized the security of both the US, the Gulf, and Israel’s regional policy. For a long time, the US and Israel supported the Sunni-Shiite tension and benefited from increasing mutual destruction. However, the Sunni power in the Middle East has now begun to be replaced by the Russian-Iranian and Shiite rule.
That is why the US and Israel liquidated Iran’s Middle East Military Administration.
Qassem Suleimani who is the commander of Quds Forces and Abu Muhandis who is deputy and true leader of Hashd al-Shaabi are cross-border heroes for the Shiites. This situation affected the Persian Shiites deeply. Iran launched 15 (Land to Land) ballistic missiles to two US military bases (Ayn al-Asad and Arbil Harir) in Iraq at night in order to preserve its political and military influence and to eliminate the expectation of revenge within the country.
Let us express before going into the details of the subject. Although the Iranian administration suffered a great deal with Suleymani’s death, it is not in favor of war and tension.
For this purpose, the missiles just hit the runway of the planes. There is probably no great loss of life. Already Press TV first cited an Iraqi source saying that 80 Americans had died, but soon afterward it announced that they could not confirm the number of dead. The Iranian administration is reporting that they took their revenge and did not intend to increase the tension further.
First Khamenei and then Trump’s statements will reveal the level of tension pressure. Unless there is a significant loss of life, it is highly probable that the tension will continue with the War of Words.
The Iranian attack turned out to be a sham fight. Iran had previously informed the Iraqi Shiite government. It was said also that probably informed Kuwait. It is impossible for the United States not to know. For Iran, power is more important than Qassem Soleimani.
We can say The Iranian attack turned out to be a sham fight.

Don’t Blame Americans!

Yes , the majority of the American people are honest decent , loving , caring and peace-loving people who stood up against wars in Vietnam and Iraq However , there is a controlling minority that is warmongering ; mainly neocons , Zionists , and Israeli loyalists .
These dangerous profiteering groups are the main architects of wars from Afghanistan against the Soviets ; to the invasion of Iraq ; to the destruction of Libya and Syria .
Having said that we must look behind and see how did these warmongering criminals of Washington were able to penetrate the region , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the region state by state ?
The retired 4 stars Army general Wesley Clark predicted back in 2007 that the US after 9/11 was intent on changing governments in 7 countries in the region ; Syria , Somalia , Libya , Sudan , Yemen , Iraq , and Iran .
This plan is consistent with the Neocons ( Israelis and Americans ) who developed the ideological plan and blueprint for America in the New Century ; Dick Cheney , Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli Gangs of Washington .
True the Arabs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blame America for its evil destructive intention in the Middle East in service of the Israeli interests in the region but should blame their governments for not organizing and setting up democratic and accountable corrupt-free governments since the end of WWII .
In Iraq , it is an open secret that Saddam Hussein was a CIA recruited to assassinate General Qassem of Iraq and later to take over the government of Iraq in time to initiate his war against the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran .
The rest and consequences are present @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occupation by both the US , Iran and other NATO countries .
The story is no different in other Arab countries .
Syria ’ s Assad family ruled the country for over 53 years passing the country from father to son , ruled by the Baathist Party ( sister of Saddam Baathist party ) and intelligence services that control the country , perhaps worse than the STASI of East Germany .

With that don ’ t blame America .

Having said that we must look behind and see how did these warmongering criminals of Washington were able to penetrate the region, take total control and begin the destruction of the region state by state?
The retired 4 stars Army general Wesley Clark predicted back in 2007 that the US after 9/11 was intent on changing governments in 7 countries in the region; Syria, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran. This plan is consistent with the Neocons (Israelis and Americans) who developed the ideological plan and blueprint for America in the New Century; Dick Cheney, Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli Gangs of Washington.
True the Arabs, the Iranians, and Muslims should not blame America for its evil destructive intention in the Middle East in service of the Israeli interests in the region but should blame their governments for not organizing and setting up democratic and accountable corrupt-free governments since the end of WWII.
In Iraq, it is an open secret that Saddam Hussein was a CIA recruited to assassinate General Qassem of Iraq and later to take over the government of Iraq in time to initiate his war against the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran. The rest and consequences are present today with Iraq divided and being under occupation by both the US, Iran and other NATO countries.
The story is no different in other Arab countries. Syria’s Assad family ruled the country for over 53 years passing the country from father to son, ruled by the Baathist Party (sister of Saddam Baathist party) and intelligence services that control the country, perhaps worse than the STASI of East Germany. Contrary to what Arab nationalists think, Assad Syria was the guardian of Israel security in the north not allowing any military activities against Israel since the 73 War.

For Iran, the US intentions were clear from day one of the new republics. Organize and support Saddam War on Iran and allow Iran to engage in conflicts in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
Meanwhile and unfortunately, for the people of Iran, the Iranian Revolution did not bring about freedom and democracy and sound governance to the people it replaced a military dictatorship with a Dictatorship of Theocracy, that is unaccountable to anyone.
Iran, which was the first country in the region to experience a popular uprising that overthrew the Shah regime, should have understood the reasons and justifications for the people to rise against the Assad regime in Syria and Ali Saleh in Yemen and should have stayed out of these conflicts. It did not and now drawn in confrontations with the US. With that don’t blame America.

by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Italy
UPDATE JANUARY, 11
It is a mystery about the 80 dead and 200 injured that the Iranian missile attacks would have caused, according to Iranian TV, in the American bases of Al Asad and Erbil in Iraq. Both US President Donal Trump and the Iraqi authorities have denied the circumstance. In particular, news came from Baghdad that Tehran had warned the Iraqi government and army of the military operation, allowing both Iraqis and Americans (and foreigners of the NATO contingent including the Italians) to hide in the fortified areas. But an unequivocal satellite image also denies Trump about the fact that the missiles did “little damage”.
The photo with various craters demonstrates the numerous areas of the Al Asad base where deposits, planes, drones and helicopters have been damaged in a budget that the Pentagon has no intention of revealing in order not to recognize the opponent’s firepower. The craters created by missiles in the American base of Ain Al Asad in Iraq This was highlighted in an article in VT (previously published in Russia Today) by Scott Ritter, a former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer. He served in the Soviet Union as an inspector for the implementation of the INF Treaty, in the staff of General Schwarzkopf during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a United Nations arms inspector.
According to Ritter Tehran, in response to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani did not hit to kill but to demonstrate his strength with the new hyper-technological cruise missiles, used with surgical precision together with the ballistic ones, which unlike the first ones are not remotely controlled but launched with a target set by increasing the margin of error.
In fact, medium-long range rockets (from 500 to 800 km) have been used Qaim 1 and Fahad 313, the former extremely fast and precise, the latter equipped with a “jammer” type device, a frequency jammer used for mobile phones , able to avoid the interception of the Patriot anti-missile defense systems used by the Americans and already results of poor efficacy in the attack on the Aramco oil plants in Saudi Arabia.
One thing certain about the attack is that not one of the Iranian rockets was shot down by the Americans. The Revolutionary Guards of Tehran fired 17 missiles, 15 have reached the target and 2 have not exploded like the alleged Zelzal ballistic rocket that fell near Erbil in the main photo.
UPDATE JANUARY, 8
IIran, last night at 1,20 am Baghdad time (GMT + 3), launched the ‘Soleimani Martyr’ operation by launching a missile attack in Iraq against two bases that host American and coalition troops, including Italian soldiers. This is same hour in which was shot the US drone that killed the Iranian general at Baghdad airport on Friday night.

According to Iranian state television, there was also a second wave of attacks.
A first death toll speaks of 80 dead. The personnel of the Italian military contingent in Erbil gathered in a security area – according to what ANSA learned – and the men took refuge in special bunkers. They are all unharmed.

MANY AIRLINES SUSPEND FLIGHTS
Several airlines have decided to avoid Iranian airspace, in a phase of very high tension between the Islamic Republic and the United States after the missile attacks on the American bases in Iraq. On the same night, a Ukrainian Boeing crashed between Tehran and Kiev, causing 177 deaths and no survivors.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Tehran spoke – a few hours before the events – of an accident due to an engine problem, not a terrorist action.

veteranstoday--2020-01-12--St. Pio’ Christian Prophecy, NWO Rockefeller’s abortion law and Masons’ war

« I hate sin !
Fortunate our country , if it , mother of law , wanted to perfect its laws and customs in this sense in the light of honesty and Christian principles » .
( Saint Pio from Pietrelcina ) These words were certainly pronounced by italian Friar Pio before 1959 , the date of the publication of the volume which contains its pearls of Christian and Catholic wisdom , but above all human and social , so current as to appear prophetic .
I read them today , for a certainly divine inspiration , in the diary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every day of the year ” from the special edition for the beatification of 1999 by the Apulian Franciscan then canonized by John Paul II in 2002 .
Francesco Forgione ( Pietrelcina , Benevento , 25 May 1887 – San Giovanni Rotondo , Foggia , 23 September 1968 ) , appears suited to the Minor Order founded by the St. Franciscus from Assisi since his baptism by virtue of the name , which in order to adhere to the monastic life changed Pio ( Pius ) , keeping faith with the meaning of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and material mercy and with his religious devotion beyond all ecclesiastical persecution .
The friar of the Stigmata of the Passion of Christ , painful and bleeding for fifty years , was a Capuchin Franciscan much loved and equally disputed , not so much for the ways at times a little rough with the sinners from vacillating repentance or the “ Gospel- do-it-yourself ” , as much as for his love for the truth expressed with clear sincerity and luminous simplicity .
This virtue has always been the most opposed in the history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of St. John the Baptist and Jesus Crucified recall , guilty of denouncing the moral corruption of their times , not sparing powerful as Herod Antipas or religious congregations such as the Pharisees .
It also arouses curiosity , even for those who are devoted to me , to read the enlightened words of Saint Pius who in a very concise phrase mention themes that have become increasingly rebounding today such as country , law , laws , customs , honesty and , above all , Christian principles .
His brief thought is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which the Catholic Church is also slowly sliding towards the drift of other confessions such as the Lutheran Protestant which , in order to hold onto the faithful sinners , has come to annihilate two thousand years of social doctrine Judeo-Christian accepting homosexual unions banned as an abomination from the Old Testament to the Letters of St. Paul to the Corinthians .
Being a man of refined culture Saul di Tarsus knew well the perverse inclinations widespread in the Hellenistic world where pedophilia was a habitual practice especially in the form of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very young boys .
« Don ’ t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God ?
Don ’ t be deceived !
Neither the impure , nor the idolaters , nor the adulterers , nor the effeminate ( malakoi ) , nor the homosexuals ( arsenokoitai ) , nor the thieves , nor the misers , nor the drunkards , nor the abusers , nor the robbers , will inherit the Kingdom of God ( 1 Cor .
6,9-10 ) » .
read more PEDOHILIA : SHAMES AND @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not write these things to discriminate or abhor homosexuals , it is clear , but only to admonish them as “ brothers ” in Christian terms on the content of the Holy Scriptures .
Therefore , I am writing to you why never a Church that dares to call itself Christian can “ justify ” such a sin as it can not legitimize idolatry ( true Josè Maria Bergoglio ? )
, Adultery , thievery , intoxication , robbery , slander and greed for material goods .
Moreover , Paul ’ s words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but as a thoughtful warning .
The last of the apostles ( he chose the name of Paulus because in Latin means small ) , in his affectionate epistolary “ caritas ” does not use the grim warnings of the Son of God .
« Woe to you , teachers of the law and Pharisees , you hypocrites !
You give a tenth of your spices—mint , dill and cumin .
But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice , mercy and faithfulness .
You should have practiced the latter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blind guides !
You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel .
Woe to you , teachers of the law and Pharisees , you hypocrites !
You clean the outside of the cup and dish , but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence .
Blind Pharisee !
First clean the inside of the cup and dish , and then the outside also will be clean .
Woe to you , teachers of the law and Pharisees , you hypocrites !
You are like whitewashed tombs , which look beautiful on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full of the bones of the dead and of all putridume .
In the same way , on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity ( Matthew , 23,23-28 ) » .
This condemnation is reserved by the Messiah to priesthoods , that is , to those who have a special “ gift ” : the management of the Holy Temple and the Holy Scriptures .
While Paul simply warns sinners that in so doing they will not enter the Kingdom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pillory or stoning .
Today ’ s words of Saint Pius , reported precisely in the thought of November 24 , really open the Pandora ’ s Box of the evils of the world .
Let us carefully re-read his sentence : « I hate sin !
Fortunate our country , if it , mother of law , wanted to perfect its laws and customs in this sense in the light of honesty and Christian principles » .
F ROM THE SIN OF ADULTERY TO DIVORCE IN ITALY “ I hate sin ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Jesus Christ and of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church : to hate sin but not the sinner .
And above all be ready to welcome him when he is in sincere repentance of his sins .
What did Jesus say to Magdalene ?
« You are forgiven .
Go and sin no more » .
What he said to the stoners of the adulteress : “ Who among you is without sin , throw the first stone ” .
But this does not mean , as interpreted by some raving homilist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband was a “ poor woman ” to be pardoned superficially .
It simply means that no one had the right to put her to death for her sins : only God can decide the fate of a human being ’ s life because he is the only one capable of truly reading in his heart the repentance and the desire for repentance .
The Gospel therefore teaches us not to condemn and also exhorts us not to judge : « Do not judge and you will not be judged ; do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; forgive and you will be forgiven ( Luke 6:37 ) » .
But Jesus is equally rigorous in reiterating the condemnation of sin : “ Now , if your brother has sinned against you , go and take him back between you and him alone ; if he listens to you , you have earned your brother ; but if he does not listen to you , take one or two people with you , so that each word is confirmed by the mouth of two or three witnesses .
If he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the church ; and if he refuses to listen to the church , both for you as the pagan and the tax collector ( Matthew 18,15-17 ) » .
After pointing out his hatred for sin , the friar of San Giovanni Rotondo commends Italy as the mother of law , in reference to Roman jurisprudence , thus placing it in a role of historical and world privilege , in a great act of devotion , also institutional towards the nation of which Saint Francis is patron .
Finally , there is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and customs in the light of honesty and Christian principles .
The more I re-read these sentences , the more truly apocalyptically prophetic they appear to me .
Pio da Petrelcina assumes this name becoming a Capuchin Franciscan on January 22 , 1903 , at only sixteen ; seven years later , on 10 August 1910 , he was consecrated a priest .
In 1916 he was transferred to San Giovanni Rotondo , on the Gargano , and here , in the convent of S. Maria delle Grazie , an extraordinary adventure of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Father Pio .
On September 20 , 1918 , the cappuccino received the stigmata of the Passion of Christ which remained open , painful and bleeding for fifty years : until his death .

“I hate sin! Fortunate our country, if it, mother of law, wanted to perfect its laws and customs in this sense in the light of honesty and Christian principles”
Saint Pio from Pietrelcina
These words were certainly pronounced by Italian Friar Pio before 1959, the date of the publication of the volume which contains its pearls of Christian and Catholic wisdom, but above all human and social, so current as to appear prophetic. I read them today, for certainly divine inspiration, in the diary “Good Day … A thought for every day of the year” from the special edition for the beatification of 1999 by the Apulian Franciscan then canonized by John Paul II in 2002.
Francesco Forgione (Pietrelcina, Benevento, 25 May 1887 – San Giovanni Rotondo, Foggia, 23 September 1968), appears suited to the Minor Order founded by the St. Franciscus from Assisi since his baptism by virtue of the name, which in order to adhere to the monastic life changed Pio (Pius), keeping faith with the meaning of this denomination with his works of spiritual and material mercy and with his religious devotion beyond all ecclesiastical persecution.
The friar of the Stigmata of the Passion of Christ, painful and bleeding for fifty years, was a Capuchin Franciscan much loved and equally disputed, not so much for the ways at times a little rough with the sinners from vacillating repentance or the “Gospel- do-it-yourself ”, as much as for his love for the truth expressed with clear sincerity and luminous simplicity.
This virtue has always been the most opposed in the history of the world, as the sacrifices of St. John the Baptist and Jesus Crucified recall, guilty of denouncing the moral corruption of their times, not sparing powerful as Herod Antipas or religious congregations such as the Pharisees. It also arouses curiosity, even for those who are devoted to me, to read the enlightened words of Saint Pius who is a very concise phrase mention themes that have become increasingly rebounding today such as country, law, laws, customs, honesty and, above all, Christian principles.
His brief thought is even more stentorian in this Third Millennium in which the Catholic Church is also slowly sliding towards the drift of other confessions such as the Lutheran Protestant which, in order to hold onto the faithful sinners, has come to annihilate two thousand years of social doctrine Judeo-Christian accepting homosexual unions banned as an abomination from the Old Testament to the Letters of St. Paul to the Corinthians.
SAINT PAUL’S LETTER ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
Being a man of refined culture Saul di Tarsus knew well the perverse inclinations widespread in the Hellenistic world where pedophilia was a habitual practice especially in the form of pederasty, another name of sodomy with very young boys.
«Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived! Neither the impure, nor the idolaters, nor the adulterers, nor the effeminate (malakoi), nor the homosexuals (arsenokoitai), nor the thieves, nor the misers, nor the drunkards, nor the abusers, nor the robbers, will inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6,9-10)».

I do not write these things to discriminate or abhor homosexuals, it is clear, but only to admonish them as “brothers” in Christian terms on the content of the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, I am writing to you why never a Church that dares to call itself Christian can “justify” such a sin as it cannot legitimize idolatry, Adultery, thievery, intoxication, robbery, slander and greed for material goods.

Moreover, Paul’s words do not echo as a severe anathema but as a thoughtful warning. The last of the apostles (he chose the name of Paulus because in Latin means small), in his affectionate epistolary “caritas” does not use the grim warnings of the Son of God.
«Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill, and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First, clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of all putrid. In the same way, on the outside, you appear to people as righteous but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Matthew, 23,23-28)».
This condemnation is reserved by the Messiah to priesthoods, that is, to those who have a special “gift”: the management of the Holy Temple and the Holy Scriptures. While Paul simply warns sinners that in so doing they will not enter the Kingdom of God but do not prescribe public pillory or stoning.
To clear the field of any misunderstanding about homosexuality as about the concept of divorce is Jesus Christ himself in the quotation from the Gospel of Matthew 10, 5 responding to the Pharisees on the question of repudiating his wife: «For the hardness of your heart he wrote for you this rule. But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female; for this the man will leave his father and mother and join his wife and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore man does not divide what God has joined».
Today’s words of Saint Pius, reported precisely in the thought of November 24, really open the Pandora’s Box of the evils of the world. Let us carefully re-read his sentence: «I hate sin! Fortunate our country, if it, mother of law, wanted to perfect its laws and customs in this sense in the light of honesty and Christian principles».
F ROM THE SIN OF ADULTERY TO DIVORCE IN ITALY
“I hate the sin” is the fulcrum of the gospel teaching of Jesus Christ and of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church: to hate the sin but not the sinner. And above all be ready to welcome him when he is insincere repentance of his sins. What did Jesus say to Magdalene?
«You are forgiven. Go and sin no more». What he said to the stoners of the adulteress: “Who among you is without sin, throw the first stone”. But this does not mean, as interpreted by some raving homilist, that the woman who betrayed her husband was a “poor woman” to be pardoned superficially.
It simply means that no one had the right to put her to death for her sins: only God can decide the fate of a human being’s life because he is the only one capable of truly reading in his heart the repentance and the desire for repentance.
The Gospel, therefore, teaches us not to condemn and also exhorts us not to judge: «Do not judge and you will not be judged; do not condemn and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven (Luke 6:37) ».
But Jesus is equally rigorous in reiterating the condemnation of sin: “Now, if your brother has sinned against you, go and take him back between you and him alone; if he listens to you, you have earned your brother; but if he does not listen to you, take one or two people with you, so that each word is confirmed by the mouth of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church; and if he refuses to listen to the church, both for you as the pagan and the tax collector (Matthew 18,15-17) ».
After pointing out his hatred for sin, the friar of San Giovanni Rotondo commends Italy as the mother of law, in reference to Roman jurisprudence, thus placing it in a role of historical and world privilege, in a great act of devotion, also institutional towards the nation of which Saint Francis is patron.
Finally, there is the wish that he can perfect his laws and customs in the light of honesty and Christian principles. The more I re-read these sentences, the more truly apocalyptically prophetic they appear to me.
Pio da Petrelcina assumes this name becoming a Capuchin Franciscan on January 22, 1903, at only sixteen; seven years later, on 10 August 1910, he was consecrated a priest. In 1916 he was transferred to San Giovanni Rotondo, on the Gargano, and here, in the convent of S. Maria delle Grazie, an extraordinary adventure of thaumaturge and apostle of the confessional began for Father Pio.
On September 20, 1918, the Capuchin received the stigmata of the Passion of Christ which remained open, painful and bleeding for fifty years: until his death. arrived on September 23, 1968, at the age of 81, when they disappear from his body (link to his complete hagiography at the bottom of the page).
Two years later, the National Law 898 of 1 December 1970 (confirmed by the 1974 referendum) sanctions the right to divorce which represents the first step of the disintegration of the family, the cradle of the Christian biblical tradition and millennia before the Jewish tradition, a hearth of charity but also a protective fortress of children.
In the daily chronicles, we now see the evident consequences of social destabilization that that norm has produced: abuse of minors, children disputed between spouses, violence against women (and also on men) accentuated by traumatic separations, often for futile reasons, often also the result of complaints made up for a faster divorce, as attested by distinguished marriage lawyers. Paladins of the right to separation can stun us with a flood of words, but the negative results are these …
ABORTION IMPOSED BY ROCKEFELLER IN US
In the same year 1970, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (Bar Harbor, 8 July 1908 – New York City, 26 January 1979), third son of John Davison Rockefeller Jr, the only heir of the homonymous patriarch of the Standard Oil family, during his tenure as New York Governor passed the first American bill to legalize abortion.
Precisely this choice, considered too liberal within the Republican Party, prevented him three times from winning the primaries for the presidential elections, forcing him to settle for being then appointed vice president of the United States (1974-1976).
But he was proud to the point of vetoing another bill that would restore the ban on abortion. This is his official statement: “I don’t think it’s right for a group to impose its vision of morality on an entire society.”
The New World Order theorem was beginning to appear forcefully on the international scene, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, even under the guise of spiritual effervescence. As Reverend Philip E. Wheaton’s review of the book “In Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil (1996)” well written by Gerard Colby and Charlotte Dennett explains.
Colby and Dennett document how Nelson Rockefeller and the largest American missionary organization worked with the United States and foreign governments to secure resources (oil, etc.) in Latin America and “pacify” indigenous peoples in the name of democracy, corporate profit, and religion, causing massacres and genocides.
Wheaton states: “Thy Will Be Done provides the American people with an illuminating framework for understanding the machinations of corporate interests and how the Rockefellers have exploited sincere spiritual motivation in their search for profits and power.”
Nelson Rockefeller, in addition to being the great financier of the Italian entrepreneur Bernardo Caprotti in the project of the Esselunga supermarket chain, was a trusted man in the Coordination of Inter-American affairs and protégé of the 33rd degree Freemason Franklin Delano Roosevelt, former Governor of New York and US president from 1933 to 1945.

Further, iI shouldn’t be forgotten that Freemasonry has strongly rooted in North America thanks also to the intense propaganda activity of its “black pope” or the Southerner General Albert Pike, suspected of being an occultist and Satanist as well as among the founders of the Ku Klux Klan.
During the long “reign” of the brother Roosevelt the American Allies landed in Sicily with the help of the international relations of the Masonry of the Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite (with a mother lodge in Washington and headquarters in Palermo) and the support of the mafia families forced to flee overseas from the hunt for gangs launched by the prefect Cesare Mori by order of the leader Benito Mussolini.
EXCOMMUNICATION OF FREEMASONRY AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN LAWS
Mussolini, on the other hand, on February 11, 1929, aware of the criminal intent of international Freemasonry, had signed the Lateran Pacts between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See for the institution of Vatican City and the reopening of dialogue between Italy and the Pope interrupted in 1870 for the breach of Porta Pia, or the armed raid in the Papal States hatched by the same Anglo-Italian Freemasons who appropriated the capital after having united Italy in blood with the landing in Sicily of the Thousand troops of Freemason Giuseppe Garibaldi financed by notables of the Grand Lodge of England such as Henry Jonh Temple, III viscount of Palmerston.
In 1884 Pope Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical Humanus Genus with the ex-communication of Freemasonry. A handful of years later Ernest Nathan, grandson of those who gave asylum in London to the Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, a terrorist wanted throughout Europe since 1848, became the first non-aristocratic Mayor of Rome after being Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, the nation’s most important Masonic consortium.

It is reasonable to believe that the good Padre Pio had no knowledge of all these puzzling historical interconnections that are easy to reconstruct today thanks to the internet.
And it even seems terrible to think that divorce in Italy and abortion in the US, two of the main scars to Christian morality, were launched in 1970: exactly 100 years after the treacherous assault on the Papal States. Look like a giant plot more than a coincidence…
On May 22, 1978, the Italian Republic also transposed the law for the termination of pregnancy which, according to ProLife and ProVita, caused at least 6 million deaths with an evident weight on the demographic decrease. This happened only ten years after the death of the Franciscan of Pietrelcina who hoped that his motherland of the law would perfect his «laws and customs in the light of honesty and Christian principles.
While due to diametrically opposed regulations these days Gospa News has told the story of a Christian girl from Florence bombed with powerful psychotropic drugs to which she is intolerant and then forced to abort against her will.
On June 5, 2016, Parliament approved the law on Civil Unions which legalizes the rights of homosexual couples strongly desired by the majority of the Democratic Party government and immediately signed without hesitation by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, in spite of the boasted Catholic faith of this last and of various exponents of the PD.
