One tough cop - he had to taser a 72 year old woman!

I thought that these were supposed to be used in the place of deadly force.

Updates on the Fort Hood Shooting story...

It appears that he was using a .357 Revolver Pistol (a six shooter) and a FN 5.7 semi-automatic pistol. The FN 5.7 is an uncommon (in civilian circles) pistol - the ammo is very expensive. This gun comes with a standard 10 round magazine and a 20 round magazine is also available depending on the State and the legalities involved. There is also a 10 round add on available - so this pistol could potentially hold a 30 round clip. The .357 appears to have been carried as a back up if the semi-auto jammed - which is not uncommon for any semi-automatic pistol. So - in a perfect shooting rampage where he is claimed to have fired over one hundred rounds - using these weapons - he would have had to reload a minimum of 4 times during this rampage.

Now consider the following stories:

Odd that someone about to die for their god and religion would commit grave sins against the same god and religion. Btw - the 9/11 suspects supposedly also attended strip clubs and conveniently left Korans behind at the bar!


Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda

Hasan Computer Reveals No Terror Ties

Odd - didn't they just tell us that he was trying to contact al Qaeda - but nothing on his computer to reveal terror ties?

Here is a link to a web site that is listing all of the oddities dealing with this case:

http://www.legitgov.org/attack_on_fort_hood_051109.html

"In order not to resist the divine action, we should remember that God generally purifies souls through the ordinary circumstances of life. In the life of every Christian, every apostle, every religious, there is always a measure of suffering sufficient to effect the purification of the spirit. These are the sufferings which God Himself chooses and disposes in the way best suited to the different needs of souls; but, unfortunately, few profit by them because few know how to recognize in the sorrows of life the hand of God who wishes to purify them.

Illness, bereavement, estrangement, separation from dear ones,misunderstandings, struggles, difficulties proceeding sometimes from the very ones who should have been able to give help and support, failure of works that were cherished and sustained at the price of great labor, abandonment by friends, physical and spiritual solitude - these are some of the sufferings which are met with more or less in the life of every man, and which we will find in ours. We must understand that all such things are positively willed or at least permitted by God precisely to purify us even to the very inmost fibers of our being.

In the face of these trials, we must never blame the malice of men or stop to examine whether or not they are just; we must see only the blessed hand of God who offers us these bitter remedies to bring perfect health to our soul.

Whatever suffering may come to us from creatures has only one true explanation: Our Lord wishes to purify us, and is beginning to do it precisely through these exterior tribulations...........

JOE BIDEN?? TONY BLAIR??? BOTH PRO-ABORTION, PRO-HOMOSEXUAL!!!!!

Benedict invites Blair, Berlusconi and friends
Published: November 06, 2009



Pope Benedict is planning a two day summit of Catholic politicians across the globe at the Vatican to discuss the role of faith witness in their professions, reports say.

Former British premier and Catholic convert Tony Blair, German chancellor Angela Merkel, US vice president Joe Biden, former Spanish premier Jose Maria Aznar, and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are among invitees, the Daily Mail reports.

Church officials have been quietly working on the conference, which will be called "Witnesses of Christ in the Political Community", for several months.

Items to be discussed include the family, right to life, Christian roots, education and bioethics, according to the report.

It quoted Vatican sources to say that Pope Benedict was becoming "increasingly concerned" at how Christian values were being eroded because of various world governments introducing legislation against Catholic teaching.

Vatican sources said the timing of the meeting would be pushed forward to early next year given the decision earlier this week by the European Court of Human Rights that Italy should remove crucifixes from classrooms.

A senior Vatican official said: "There is growing alarm within the Vatican and especially the Holy Father that not enough prominence is being given to basic Christian and family values by governments.

"This has been further increased by this week’s ruling by the European Court of Human rights and the display of crucifixes in Italian classrooms - it is outrageous that such an institution could interfere in the cultural heritage of Italy in such a way."

The landmark decision caused outrage amongst Italian politicians and was also criticised by Vatican officials who described it as "wrong, short sighted and regretful."

Big bang test spoiled by bird turd! Who says that God does not have a sense of humor?


Big bang goes phut as bird drops baguette into Cern machinery

www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/nov/06/cern-big-bang-goes-phut

It is the machine that scientists hope will recreate the conditions present at the beginning of time. But scientists at the £3.6bn Large Hadron Collider (LHC) found their plans to emulate the big bang postponed this week when a passing bird dropped a "bit of baguette" into the machine, causing it to overheat.

Cern, the European particle physics laboratory, launched the LHC with much fanfare on 10 September last year. Physicists hope to use the collider to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, or God particle, which gives matter in the universe its mass...

I think that God gave these arrogant scientists just the particle that they needed!

HOLY COW! - How much over the top can they get with this nonsense!


Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Her Doctrine and Morals
Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost
8 November 2009

Dear Friend,

We witness in today's gospel two of Our Lord's miracles.

The first is of a woman troubled with an issue of blood. Because of this malady this poor woman was considered unclean and therefore prohibited from partaking of most of life's enjoyments. She had spent all her money seeing doctors and trying different treatments only to find that they only aggravated her condition. Ostracized, reduced to utter poverty, and burdened with even greater bodily maladies, this poor woman was left without any recourse or aid.

To most of the world this appears as the greatest of all evils, but to God it was simply the fertile ground that was necessary to grow tremendous faith. The graces that this woman received from God over abundantly compensated for all the suffering that she had to endure. To hear those consoling words of Our Lord of grace and healing are of an infinite worth. To suffer what this woman suffered (even to multiply her suffering many times over) is as nothing when compared to the reward.

How often do we think our lives are not fair? That God is not fair? We are called upon to suffer this or that difficulty or physical ailment or pain and we consider it to be too much! What are our sufferings compared to the sufferings of this woman? How much more than us have the saints and heroes of the Church suffered? What are our pains compared to theirs?

Our complaints convict us of a terrible sin. Our impatience and bad attitude in bearing our crosses are an affront to God, a blasphemous accusation of injustice and unfairness against God. How many question God asking: "What have I done to deserve this?" or "Why me?" or "My neighbor is much worse than I, why is he rewarded while I am punished?"

While our crosses because of our selfishness draw us further away from God, we should look to this poor woman and learn a very important lesson. If our pain is great or our cross is heavy it must be because there is a greater reward awaiting us if we successfully endure to the end. We must, filled with contrition and love, turn to Christ filled with faith knowing that if we just touch His tassel we can be healed. We need not have Him speak directly to us or disturb His current activity. His grace is so super abundant that we only need to draw near to Him and we can be healed.

We must often remind ourselves that God is all just, and therefore there is a just reason why we have our own particular crosses. We must remind ourselves that God is all knowing. He knows exactly the size and weight of our crosses as well as our own strength and ability to bear the cross He has given us. And lastly we must remind ourselves that God is able to lift this cross from us at any time and reward us super abundantly for our patient and loving endurance.

With these thoughts before us we should begin to see our crosses not as curses as much as they are blessings. Where would this woman be if she had never suffered from her malady or been driven to desperation? She would most likely have never approached Christ and therefore would not have received His healing and saving graces.

The second miracle that our Lord performed in today's gospel is the raising of the dead girl to life. Again it was the heavy burden of the cross of the death of his daughter that brought this man to Christ and thus brought life and grace not only for the young girl but for many others who were involved or witnessed this miracle. This cross was a wondrous source of hidden grace and life which was only revealed when the father came to God. We see in this that no matter how great the cross or evil that we suffer, God is able to make good come from it.

Even if we are dead in sin, we can be lifted back to life again by the simple word of Christ. And this is an even greater miracle than raising a body to life. For, the soul is greater than the body. So to raise a soul to life is a greater grace than to raise the body to life. And this power Jesus has left to His Apostles to work in His name. The Catholic Church is the only church that has and continues to perform this awesome miracle in the sacrament of Penance.

A person dead in sin, need only approach Christ through His authorized representative. Filled with a humble acknowledgement of unworthiness, nonetheless filled with hope in the merits of Christ's suffering and death, they come forward with contrition, remorse and a sincere resolve to do better for the love of God.

And then at the moment that a true priest acting in the name of Jesus pronounces those words of absolution, a tremendous miracle takes place: a soul once dead in sin is brought back to life.

As we bear our sufferings in this world let us always draw near to Christ in His Church, Sacraments and Ministers to receive, grace and healing, and if necessary even eternal life itself.

The devil is in the details:

Shooter transferred to Brooke Army Medical Center; community rallies to support victims

http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=36929

"Rossi later discussed a few details of the shooting, of which officials have released little so far. He said that the two handguns Hasan used were his personal weapons and were purchased locally, though he didn't know when. The handguns were not registered at Fort Hood as is required with soldiers who wish to own firearms.

Rossi said that the suspect fired more than 100 rounds, but wouldn't confirm whether Hasan stopped to reload the weapons."

WHAT????

As far as I know pistols have a maximum magazine capacity of 10 rounds - that means that this guy had to stop and reload his pistol(s) 10 times! (and even if there is pistol out there that holds more - there is no way that there is one out there that holds 50 rounds - it would weigh so much you couldn't even hold it with one hand if it held 50 rounds)

Imagine that at least 10 times during his shooting rampage he had to stop and reload and not a single one of the combat trained and experienced military personnel that he was killing decided to charge him and stop this during the reloading!

My brother was telling me the other day that on some TV show about self defence that if someone is shooting at you with a pistol it is best to just run away in a zig zag patter because it is nearly impossible to hit a running target and even far less likely to be hit in a vital area or an area that would stop your retreat.

Why wouldn't combat veterans know this much?

Also isn't it convenient that Korans are popping up everywhere this guy ever visited!

This is a crock. I don't know what really happened - but this guy is a patsy - of that I have little doubt.

Neighbor: Fort Hood suspect emptied his apartment

Cone acknowledged that it was "counterintuitive" that a single shooter could hit so many people, but he said the massacre occurred in "close quarters.

"With ricochet fire, he was able to injure that number of people," Cone said.

Rivero's Commentary and Theory:

You know the story is starting to come apart when they start using the "magic bullet" explanation.

So, here is what I think happened.

I think that a GROUP of soldiers rebelled against further deployment. This is why we had early reports of multiple shooters, numbering up to 5.

But 5 soldiers shooting their officers signals mutiny in the ranks. It recalls the "fragging" of Vietnam days. It looks really bad to the citizenry. It could even spread to other soldiers and other bases where the military are stretched to the breaking point.

So, the DC boys look around and say, "Oh, we have this dead Muslim guy; we'll just blame it on him!" And presto-chango, five shooters pissed off with the wars becomes one conveniently dead Jordanian Palestinian Muslim with possible links to Al Qaeda.

Only turns out Major Hasan isn't dead. Which creates a whole new problem the instant he gets off that ventilator at the hospital.

Which is hardly likely to happen.

Meanwhile, the top of this article reports that Hasan was making the normal preparations for deployment. He emptied out his apartment, gave away things he didn't want to take with him, and told everyone he was deploying today. Does that sound like a man about to go postal?

I don't know if this theory is correct, but I find it extremely unlikely (more like impossible) that one person with a pistol or two could injur that many people.

Fruits of Vatican II Dept: We've all heard about the Dominican "nun" that acted as an escort at an abortion mill. This Letter to the Editor was in my inbox today from Lifesite News. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Vatican II Church is evil through and through and that the apparition at LaSallette has truly come true. Rome is the seat of the antiChrist and here is proof:

Letters to the Editor - Nun Abortion Clinic Escort
Re: Updated: Nun Abortion Clinic Escort Reprimanded - Dominican Congregation Apologizes for Scandal
If you believe for one second that the Sinsinawa Domincan religious sisters, the community of the pro abort Sr. Donna Quinn, are truly repentent over the years of involvement of one of their own in the blood trade of abortion, you have been deceived.
I was the president of the parish advisory council at St. Patrick Cathedral Parish in Ft. Worth, Texas in 2004. I am very familiar with the Sinsinawa Domincan priory and its deep involvement with abortion and radical feminism.

A representative of the Sinsinawa Dominicans was scheduled to come to the cathedral in August of 2004 to give an appeal allegedly for the priory's mission work. A few weeks prior to the date of the appeal, several council members did some research on this group of sisters, much of it coming form the community's own web site.

We discovered that the Sinsinawa Dominicans were public supporters of abortion (especially through their very public institutional support of the Convention To End Discrimination Against Women i.e. CEDAW), radical feminism, the gay rights movement, and an assortment of other positions in conflict with Catholic moral teaching. The Sinsinawa Dominicans, as largely revealed by information which they put out themselves on their website, are in sad shape morally.

The parish council pleaded with the then pastor to cancel their appearance at the cathedral since to allow them to ask for money for their causes would be deceptive at best, and fraudulent at worst. We produced an entire file of documents to prove the involvement of the Sinsinawa Dominicans in everything we alleged. The evidence was tight, and was never controverted. But the pastor would have none of it. The then bishop of this diocese also refused to cancel their appearance.

So on a Sunday morning in August of 2004 one of the radical pro abort Sinsenawa Domincans stood at the lecturn in the sanctuary of the cathedral to lie to us and to filch money from the faithful at the cathedral to advance their heretical agenda that includes, among other things, radical feminism and international expansion of abortion on demand.

Sr. Donna needs to be booted out of the Dominicans, and the Sinsinawa community needs to be investigated. The prioress' claim of sorrow over the actions of Sr. Donna, whose actions have been fully known for years, are the sounds of a failed leader who has been caught in her failure and wants to avoid further investigation. Don' t believe it.

Writers Who Make Up Stories About the Holocaust

The Independent (Britain) Researching a book about literary hoaxes led me to investigate a sub-section of the misery-memoir genre which often left me reeling in amazement: the Holocaust hoaxers. Special privilege must be given to those increasingly few witness-writers who survived the Second World War in Europe, but they have certain duties too. It is their right to write how and when they want (perhaps many decades later, if they are ready) and, as with Elie Wiesel, with their own definitions of truth and fiction. It was he who said that "Some stories are true that never happened." ... All these hoaxers had difficult childhoods but, feeling that their truth was shamefully small, they sought the grand signifier of the Holocaust to attract the compassion that they desired.

Police State USA!

I don't care what this guy did or what he was doing BEFORE - the man was clearly cooperating at the time that the girlie man cop decided to use a taser on him.

These girlie men use tasers on pregnant women, elderly men and women, handicapped people and even children. These wimps are just what the government needs to enforce the coming Police State! They don't have the male fortitude to stand up for what is right and will do whatever their masters tell them - including torturing, imprisoning, and killing the citizens they are supposed to protect!

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!

Italy school crucifixes 'barred'

Catholicism stopped being the state religion in Italy in 1984
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the use of crucifixes in classrooms in Italy.
It said the practice violated the right of parents to educate their children as they saw fit, and ran counter to the child's right to freedom of religion.
The case was brought by an Italian mother, Soile Lautsi, who wants to give her children a secular education.
But the ruling has sparked anger in the largely Catholic country, with one politician calling the move "shameful".
The Strasbourg court found that: "The compulsory display of a symbol of a given confession in premises used by the public authorities... restricted the right of parents to educate their children in conformity with their convictions."
It also restricted the "right of children to believe or not to believe", the seven judges ruling on the case said in a statement quoted by AFP news agency.

'Italian tradition'

Mrs Lautsi complained to the European court that her children had to attend a public school in northern Italy that had crucifixes in every room.
She was awarded 5,000 euros ($7,400; £4,500) in damages.
But many politicians in Italy have reacted angrily.
Education Minister Mariastella Gelmini said the crucifix was a "symbol of our tradition", and not a mark of Catholicism.
One government minister called the ruling "shameful", while another said that Europe was forgetting its Christian heritage.
The government says it will appeal against the decision. The Vatican says it will study the ruling before issuing a comment.
The BBC's Duncan Kennedy in Rome says that it is customary in Italy to see crucifixes in public buildings, including schools, despite the constitution saying that there should be a separation of church and state.
The law requiring crucifixes to be hung in schools dates back to the 1920s.
Although a revised accord between the Vatican and the Italian government ended Catholicism's position as the state religion in 1984, the crucifix law has never been repealed.
Some conservatives have already complained about schools dropping nativity plays to avoid upsetting Muslim children.

The video at the link below is amazing - it is a clip from a Fox News show about the H1N1 vaccine - at 2:45 minutes into the video a woman reads from the package insert where it says that the safety of this vaccine has not been tested on pregnant or nursing women or children under 18 years of age!

http://eclipptv.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=8169

The neo-con liberal Sean Hannity jumps right on her claiming that doctors have researched it and found it safe - which is total bovine excrement - cause if there was research proving it safe - this insert would not be in the packaging!

Jews take over Jerusalem house from Palestinians

http://www.reuters.com/article/email/idUSL3475163


JERUSALEM, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Jews took over another house in Arab East Jerusalem on Tuesday in what Palestinians say is a systematic campaign to drive them out and strengthen Israel's hold on all of Jerusalem.

The house, built 10 years ago by the al-Kurd family, is the seventh this year to be awarded to Jewish settlers following legal battles in the Israeli courts, where the Palestinians say a fair hearing is impossible to obtain.

The houses, in a predominantly Palestinian district, now fly the Israeli flag and are protected by men with guns...

Here is the REAL HATE CRIMES - that we, the US Taxpayer are paying for! All because a bunch of moronic heretic Protestants believe that these people are "the people of God" - it is sick - and now the bogus ordo "catholic" church is on the same band wagon! All HATE and injustice in the name of God!

Can you imagine if this was your home - a home you built!
