World's Most Successful AIDS Prevention Programme in Uganda "Sabotaged" by Western "Experts" Western advisors used their control of international funding to force a change in direction to condoms and casual sex By Hilary White KAMPALA, Uganda, July 11, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - While the US Senate considers a proposal to allocate US$50 million more for AIDS prevention programmes, one Ugandan expert says it will be wasted money if the attitudes of the Western AIDS prevention community towards AIDS transmission do not change. In a column appearing in the Washington Post on June 30, one of Uganda's leading AIDS prevention experts called on the Western "experts" to "Let my people go." "We understand that casual sex is dear to you, but staying alive is dear to us. Listen to African wisdom, and we will show you how to prevent AIDS." Sam L. Ruteikara wrote in the Washington Post that efforts to maintain the world's most successful ...

It’s strange how worst president in history candidate Jimmy Carter who said W. Bush was the worst president in history appears to be an identical twin of Bush. Jimmy’s call for democracy in Iran lead to high oil prices, a dead US economy and Islamic extremists control of Iran. W. Bush’s call for democracy in Iraq lead to high oil prices, a dead US economy and Islamic extremists control of Iraq by Iran. Again it’s strange how worst president in history candidates Billy Clinton and W. Bush look alike. Teenage W. said he won’t send troops on “vague aimless and endless deployments” like teenage Billy Clinton’s call for democracy in Bosnia and Kosovo. But being a teen W. forgot what he said and send troops on “vague aimless and endless deployments” in Iraq. It’s a tough call on which of the three teens is the worst president in history. W. and Jimmy’s presidencies lead to malaise economies due to liberal economic policies and the spread of Islamic extremist control by Iran. While Billy’s ec...

Youtube Censors PRI Investigative Video FRONT ROYAL, Va., July 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- YouTube.com, in what the Population Research Institute (PRI) is calling a case of blatant censorship, has removed a video from its website for the sole reason that it criticizes a pro- abortion journalist. The video, edited and posted by the Catholic News Agency, shows PRI affiliate Carlos Polo in conversation with pro-abortion activist Eve Reinhardt. Reinhardt had obtained an interview with Polo by assuring him that she was impartial and balanced. Polo, however, discovered that she was affiliated very closely with a hard-left, pro-abortion documentary project, entitled The Decency Gap. Polo brought his own cameraman to the interview and confronted Reinhardt, accusing her of deliberately misleading him. Shortly after this video was posted, the website for The Decency Gap vanished, and the video was taken down by YouTube. YouTube cited vague "terms of use violations" as their reason for ce...

If Obama is elected will it become a hate crime to be a orthodox Christian or Jew? Fred Obama: "I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states." July 1, 2008 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary L. Bauer Did Obama Just Lose The Election? He may have if the Republican Party rises to the challenge. Here’s the news that the liberal media won’t tell you: Barack Obama has embraced the radical agenda of the militant homosexual rights movement. As I reported to you recently, Senator McCain publicly endorsed the effort in California to pass a marriage protection amendment this November in response to the outrageous decision by the state Supreme Court finding a new right for men to “marry” other men. After the California Supreme Court issued its opinion, which arrogantly ignored the 61% of California voters who approved a Defense of Marriage law in 2000, the Obama cam...

The Hour Is Late... I have been celebrating Mass at a local parish while the pastor is away the past few weeks. Many of the readings during that time concerned the prophets and their message and trials. I was moved to reflect once again on the prophetic dimension of our Baptism in Christ-Priest, Prophet and King. Several decades ago, the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “The prophetic voice of Christ has all but been stilled in the Church today.” To the degree we fail in this prophetic mission, the world will sink into oblivion under the increasing weight of its sins. In my lifetime, the United States has gone from quite a wholesome, rational, and moral country, to one that is largely decadent, irrational, and immoral. Most people seem to be hardened to it, unconcerned that we have a death wish in process. First it was artificial contraception, then abortion, then partial-birth abortion, then infanticide (all of which have been supported by many liberal politicians at one time or an...

I AM MAD AS HELL Richard Salbato - June 25, 2008 Normally I try to write something for the international Catholic press every week, but I have been so depressed and disgusted for the last two months that I have not written anything. There has been a great deal of new information over these two months on new and approved apparitions, new exposure of false mystics and apparitions and great news on the international Liturgy that I should have written on and posted. However, none of these things are important when you think about the main issue of true Catholics and that is the salvation of souls. I have become very depressed about the illogical, lack of common sense, when it comes to basic truths of the Catholic Faith on morals and essential truths of the faith. When I read the Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, I see it as the teaching of the Church on explaining the Ten Commandments and Christ’s explanations of these commandments. These are the essential things we must do to save our so...

I'm taking a vacation from blogging. I'm excited and full of hope about the nationwide EWTN radio network. Please pray for EWTN because it is the main hope, I see, for turning the USA back to light from the Godless darkness. As a great writer said: "Life without God is torment." May God bless you with Hope, Fred PS-Below is a book I'm working on. INTRODUCTION This essays will touch the two levels of knowing: personal and objective. Chapter one will be personal. The beginning of chapters two through nine will give episodes in the boys life. The rest of each chapter will deal with exploration of these episodes. Exploration vehicles will be history, philosophy, literature and science. We will attempt a voyage to discover the meaning of love and life. Chapter 1 THE BOY The boy watched the clock. It ticked to the moment he waited for all day. The moment he would play baseball. School meant only two things to the boy: recess and after school. He remembered kicking the b...

Dear Friends, Tomorrow, Friday the 30th of May, is the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. The Vatican has published a beautiful letter encouraging all the faithful to take this day, and every day, as a time for prayer for our shepherds. These men feed us the Bread of Life, endlessly hear our confessions, baptize and marry us, and stand vigil at our deathbeds, counsel us and teach us, and take all kinds of flak (visible and invisible) for our sakes. The vast majority of them stand firm in faithfulness to their calling for the sake of the Blood of the Lamb. They suffer much. They are “other Christs” for us. They are human, they have faults and weaknesses and sins, just like us. They are primary targets for the malice of the evil one. They are far more than heroes. They are saints in the making, just as we all should be. Let’s never forget that in the hierarchical creation willed by the Holy Trinity, these men are a crucial link in the outpouring of divine graces upon ...

WorldNetDaily http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=65066 Friday, May 23, 2008 WorldNetDaily Exclusive Obama mentored by Communist Party figure Investigations show ties to radicals who shaped him, helped launch his political career May 22, 2008 By Jerome R. Corsi Barack Obama had extensive ties with extreme anti-American elements, including agents of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, in Hawaii and Chicago, according to two new reports released yesterday in Washington, D.C., by two experienced internal security investigators. Investigative journalist Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, a former investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities, presented evidence Obama was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, an African-American poet and journalist who was also a CPUSA member while Obama attended high school in Hawaii. The authors, in a separate report, document Obama's ties to radicals in Chicago who helped launch his career. In a paper entitle...

Post-Christian America WorldNetDaily http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=65070 Friday, May 23, 2008 LAW OF THE LAND Pat Buchanan: Marriage ruling another streetlight on our 'darkening path to perdition' Posted: May 22, 2008 By Patrick J. Buchanan "A Victory for Equality and Justice," blared the headline above the editorial. "Momentous," "historic," "a major victory for civil rights," "a scrupulously fair ruling based on law, precedents and common sense." This was the ecstatic reaction of the New York Times to the California Supreme Court's declaration that homosexuals have a right to marry and have their unions recognized as marriages. Now, there may be hugging around the newsroom at the Times, where one senior writer said, a few years back, three-fourths of the folks who make up the front page are gay. But this is just another streetlight on America's darkening path to perdition as a society and republic. T...

If Elected, Barak Obama Would Become 'The Abortion President,' Even Forcing Catholics and Evangelicals to Pay for Abortions WASHINGTON, May 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- Senator Obama's views on abortion would be the most radical and extremist of any President in history and are completely out of step with the opinions of mainstream America. Some of Senator Obama's extremist abortion views are: While a state senator in Illinois, Senator Obama opposed legislation which would prevent the killing of infants that survived late-term abortions. Senator Obama opposed the ban on Partial-Birth abortions which the Supreme Court found to be Constitutional. The ban on this barbaric procedure is overwhelmingly supported by the majority of the American people. He stated one of the first things he would like to do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act which would radically expand abortion rights. Senator Obama recently said after speculating if one of his daughters became pregna...

God Bless America The Greatest Nation in History Richard Salbato 5-1-1008 (St. Joseph, the Worker) I try to write only about the Faith of the Catholic Church and its relation to our daily lives: how we treat God, how we treat each other, are we doing the right thing in each and every action of our day. Over the years I have seen that people really want to do the right things but emotions get in the way of good thinking. I have also noted that people think they can know what God wants of them without any real learning; in-other-words, they do not want to learn or study. They think God will teach them directly through their own uneducated conscience. This lack of knowledge has opened up the abuse of conscience by cult leaders, who do not see the balance between individual freedoms and the common good. Within the Church there is a war between those who want no laws against their self-created conscience and the written laws of God and the Church. The Church, on the other hand, teache...
