Nicolas Maduro on a number of occasions likened himself to Joseph Stalin in looks. He and his military are indeed Stalinist in reality in that they are starving Venezuela as Stalin committed mass genocide by starving millions in the Ukraine. The only difference between the starvation policies of Stalin and Maduro is that the dictator's military is getting rich from the starvation by "trafficking in food" according to the National Public Radio (NRP): "In Venezuela, food has become so scarce it's now being sold on the black market. One person tells Associated Press, "it's a better business than drugs." "And the food traffickers are... the nation's military... Maduro gave the military complete control of the food supply." (NPR, "As Venezuelans go Hungry, the Military is Trafficking in Food," January 9, 2017) NRP in the article reported the apparent reason why the Venezuelan military is allowing Maduro to starve the p

The heroic indigenous Venezuelan Pemon tribe armed with bows and arrows clashed with the Venezuelan regime's troops in a remote area near the northern border of Brazil. Bloomberg reported in an article that the Pemon Tribe attempted a peaceful blockade "to prevent the military from reaching the border" so the regime wouldn't stop food and medicine entering the country to relieve those in need. In the article, the 30-year-old Pemon Marcel Perez in an interview said: "We made a blockade, without any weapons but our traditional bows and arrows... They had tanks, buses and a lot of soldiers. And so they decided to shoot at us with live bullets." (Bloomberg, "Maduro's Troops Kill 1; Guaido Defies Travel Ban at Border," February 22, 2019) Bloomberg reported that police said "Zoraida Rodriguez, 45, was killed and 15 people were wounded... The Pemons captured three lieutenants... A general was negotiating with the community for their ret

Jose Azel, a senior scholar at the University of Miami, in the respected international relations quarterly journal World Affairs wrote a review of a book by Pope Francis, which he wrote in 1998 while he was still the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires, which apparently the pontiff and Vatican don't want publicized or read. There is only one copy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's book "Dialogos Entre Juan Pablo y Fidel Castro [Dialogue between John Paul II and Fidel Castro]" available on Amazon and it is selling for $864. The Spanish speaking Azel in his review of the book reported "[i]n my reading of the pope's complex Spanish prose...": - "he favors socialism over capitalism provided it incorporates theism..." - "He does not take issue with Fidel Castro's claim that 'Karl Marx's doctrine is very close to the Sermon on the Mount'... " - "... and views the Cuban polity [form of government] as in harmony with the C

According to a Spanish language Neo Club Press website article, the former head of "the medical services of the Revolution Armed Armed Forces" Roberto Ortega said that Pope Francis's longtime close Latin American collaborator and ally Cardinal Jamie Ortega was a "blackmailed" Communist operative. The article said the Communist Cuban "regime takes advantage of the cardinal's homosexual condition to blackmail him": (Neo Club Press, "Cardinal Jamie Ortega is being blakmailed for homosexuality," April 30, 2012) "[A]n agent who worked for intelligence was the cardinal's husband," said Roberto Ortega "All religions are penetrated (by the State Security) including the Catholic Church and its highest authority, the cardinal." Reuters reported the close relationship of Ortega to the Communist regime and Francis: "Ortega, 78, enjoys unrivaled access among religious leaders to Cuban President Raul Castro and he

- Updated December 2, 2019 Apparently, Steve Skojec's One Peter Five is accusing the Catholic resistance against the errors of Francis of schism. These persons need to realize the Arian heretics were saying the same thing as One Peter Five is saying about the Catholic resistance about St. Athanasius. That he was in schism. The historian Warren Carroll admitted that Pope Liberius excommunicated Athanasius which isn't an infallible papal action. (EWTN.com, "Has any Pope been Guilty of Heresy") (As an interesting note, in the article above the historian Carroll said "I deny that any Pope was ever a heretic." He wrote this before Francis) The saint was resisting the Arian heretic bishops outside the papal approval. Cardinal John Henry Newman said he ordained priests against the authority of the Arian heretical bishops (apparently outside papal approval). Newman in his "The Development of Christian Doctrine" denied that Bishop Athanasius

In Superman comics there is a bizarro world where everything is inverted or "the exact opposite" of reality: "[G]ood is bad, wrong is right,.. insanity is sane, liberty is tyranny." (Urban Dictionary, "bizarro world") We recently saw the bizarro world with the left and the leftist media directing their hatred at the calm Catholic pro-life Covington kids because they smiled: At a liar who was with one of two racist lunatic groups who were publicly verbally shouting things leftists usually denounce such as racist and homophobic bigotry at the Covington kids. Now, as the Twightlight Zone music plays, we are about to enter the bizarro world of Pope Francis's sex abuse synod. Journalist Hilary White on her blog reported that Pope Francis's head of the upcoming sex abuse synod Cardinal Blasé Cupich at a press conference said it "remain[s] at the level, of hypothesis" responding to the question: "On the "hypothesis"

Cardinal John Henry Newman expert Fr. John Hunwicke says: "I suggest that Jorge Bergoglio's formal refusal to respond to the Five Dubia constituted a formal entry into a period of Temporary Suspense of the function of his Petrine Magisterium." (Liturgical Notes, "Suspense of the Magisterium," November 25, 2016) Hunwicke gets this from Cardinal Newman which means there is a temporary "cessation of the Magisterial teaching or office during a 'suspense.'" Liturgical Notes, "The temporary suspense of the Ecclesia Dozens," February 26, 2018) Newman saw the Suspense of the Magisterium during the "Arian controversy, in which the great majority of the Bishops... including the Successor of S Peter, were either heretics or were cowed into silence" according to Hunwicke. The Newman expert by this means that the Arian compromised pope and bishops as well as Pope Francis and those who follow him into error "lost

Pope Francis has decided to throw under the bus his long time close collaborator ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. McCarrick helped Francis get elected pope, helped him promote pro-gay bishops and construct with Cardinal Pietro Parolin the Vatican's China deal that betrayed the Chinese Catholic underground Church. The laicization of McCarrick appears to be a obviously public relations ploy to show Francis is tough on sex abuse predators and their cover-up bishops just before a anti-sex abuse conference even as he promotes almost all of McCarrick's pro-gay collaborators and his hand picked pro-gay Cardinal Blasé Cupich who will head the so-called anti-sex abuse Vatican meeting. The current pope brought McCarrick back into power after Pope Benedict XVI had de-legitimized him by disallowing him from taking part in any type of ministry or activity. Once the pope brought him back to power he kept him in power until he made Francis look bad especially after the Archbishop Carl

Pope Francis's Vatican official Fr. Antonio Spadaro called the mouthpiece of the pope apparently approved of a book, "In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality Hypocrisy," by gay activist and pro-Francis Frederic Martel even giving an interview for the book. The apparently Vatican approved book reports according to Breitbart that: "Francis had been informed that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick had been having sexual relations with seminarians and priests, but considered this facts "insufficient to condemn him." (Breitbart, "Report: Pope knew of McCarrick's Crimes, considered them Unimportant," February 17, 2019) It is important to repeat that the Breitbart article revealed that the pro-Francis and gay activist author said the pope knew that McCarrick was a predator but judged this fact "insufficient to condemn him" quoting Martel. Moreover, the article said: "Martel claims to have met with a number of Vatican of
