America's Corruption Racket in Central Asia
It is increasingly apparent that the United States is itself one of the most
staggeringly corrupt actors in the region, willing to slide hundreds of
millions of dollars under the carpet to foreign government officials to
induce them to do Washington's bidding, on occasion doing this so crudely
that it undermines the credibility of the government it has picked as an
ally.

Can our economy be saved by having the Fed print ever more money and
buy ever more mortgage bonds and Treasury bonds
Through the first quarter of this year, the Fed printed $1.5 trillion of
paper money and bought $1.5 trillion in mortgage bonds, government agency
bonds, and Treasury bonds. And yet the entire effort was a dismal failure;
the U.S. economy is still sinking and most large American banks are still
weak. The underlying reason for this failure is that meanwhile nearly
everyone else has embarked on unprecedented debt liquidations!

FUNDAMENTALISM : ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
The personality of an individual is determined within the first 3-5 years
of life. The parenting style used to bring up children makes a huge
difference in how the child faces maturity. There are logical steps and
stages of childhood development, and anyone can become stuck in one stage
or another. Fundamental Religions would like us all to stop our ego
development at the Conformist stage, but maturity depends on many more.

Another $9 Billion for This? Six Children Killed in NATO Attack,
While Picking Trash
Who perpetuates this racket? Here is the roll-call of congresscritters who
voted last June to pass the latest chunk of money which buys the $100,000
bombs and missiles which were dropped on those children, plus the fuel
contracts for the fighter planes, plus replacement costs for anything that
happens to get damaged or doesn't work. As far as rackets go, this one is
money hand over fist.

The AFL-CIO and the Democrats: Friends or Foes?
Demands are reserved not for friends, but foes. The AFL-CIO is forced into

Bye Bye American Pie
The problem with capitalism is that it works fine when the economy is
expanding, but when it is shrinking" not so good. This is but one facet of
the argument between capitalism and socialism.
E.J. Dionne Jr. - Obama
needs to relearn the art of politicking
Seen from the inside, the administration is an astonishing success. Obama
has kept his principal promises and can take credit for achievements that
eluded his Democratic predecessors. But Obama and his party are also in a
hole because the president has chosen not to engage the nation in an
extended dialogue about what holds all of his achievements together.
The 35 inch Survival Test
by Jeffrey H. Toney
Imagine if you had to pass this simple test: if your waistline is equal to
or less than 35 inches, you could lead a healthy life; if not, you must

The floods in Pakistan and
the American response
Pakistan's floods--like the tsunami that swept across Indonesia's northern
provinces in 2004--threaten to set the country's economic growth back by
years. For the United States, preventing such an outcome should be
recognized as a strategic as well as a humanitarian imperative.

Paul Krugman: It's
Witch-Hunt Season
The last time a Democrat sat in the White House, he faced a nonstop witch
hunt by his political opponents. Now it's happening again -- except that
this time it's even worse. Let's turn the floor over to Rush Limbaugh: "Imam
Hussein Obama," he recently declared, is "probably the best anti-American
president we've ever had."

Street Fighting Man--A Rock and Roll Epistle
The Big Lie perpetrated for two centuries is that a Republic (and its child
representative democracy) and laissez faire capitalism are the twin horses
pulling a free society. How can this be when laissez faire capitalism has
none of the institutional checks and balances that a republic--according to
Adams, Jefferson, and Madison--require. The invisible hand of Smith is too
easily bound by selfishness to serve this purpose.

Leaving Iraq a Soldier Yelled, 'We Won, It's Over, America We
Brought Democracy to Iraq' ; Not Hardly
An American soldier yelled, "We won. It's over. America we brought democracy
to Iraq". His well intentioned effusiveness was more than slightly off the
mark. Iraq held an election for a new Prime Minister 5 months ago. The
result remains in limbo. The rudderless gov't has emboldened terrorists
increased killing of innocents. Many Iraqi's have expressed they were safer
under Saddam. That is the legacy we have wrought in Iraq.

Date of the Market Crash?
"In one of the greatest investment markets in the world, namely, New York, the
influence of speculation (in the above sense) is enormous. Even outside the
field of finance, Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering
what average opinion believes average opinion to be; and this national
weakness finds its nemesis in the stock market."

There is much, may be (according to some) too much! But there is never such a thing as "too much" when attempting to learn and live the life a true Christian.... For indeed if we are true Christians, we each and every one of us needs information that will enlarge , or - at least, enhance our spiritual understandings.
We must entrust our soul into the hands of God the +Father, the +Son, and the +Holy Spirit who, as one God (the Holy Trinity) is the source of all life and abundance for us who are still in this earthly vessel. He knows our strengths (and our weaknesses) for he gave us strength... It is our failings and sins that make us weak in spirit! If He were to give us one dollar in conformity to our strength, we should not seek five, so as not to grow faint under the weight of having too much, so that the gift which is intended to serve to the good would not serve to the our great condemnation. We must flee from our sinful falls not to reclusion, not to the desert, but to self reproach, to confession of our sins - to repentance! Our perplexity, our reasonings and our will - we must plunge them into the abyss of the munificence and Providence of God!

The Church, after all, is supposed to be a temple for sick souls (sinners) without distinction between their worse sins or otherwise, but it seems to some organizations that they say much about others, but fail and refuse to upbraid themselves and their members for their own sins...)
"Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."
- Blessed St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
The purpose for presenting this Daily News section:
Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians. For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even (although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.
Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for, these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and far too many more to list.
Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers" who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for they exist in these present times too.
Events are already rushing toward that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through. Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the more informed observer may become apparent.
Those little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming a major focus in worship, and more.
We ask you, if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed (of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or "Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?
Here in North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....
[ * Non-Denominational = Synchrestic Ecumenism, Disease of Scholasticism, altering the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ to accommodate the disease of Political Correctness and CULTIC PROTESTANTISM, and the Roman Jurisdiction (Latin Church = Vatican) of the Catholic Church) breaking of - or failure and refusal to respect and abide by - the ancient Seven Ecumenical "Do Not" Canons which leaves everything else open to God's gift of creativity... failure & refusal to abide by and have respect for those who diligently protect one of the other Pillars of the Church, the Seals of the Confessional, but "Non-Denominational" also includes worshiping Satan's religion of Muslim, Islam by praying with them and other heretics such as 'Pentecostalism,' 'Jehovah's Witnesses,' 'Mormons,' 'Church of Christ,' any so-called church with "Community Church" in their nomenclature and others who by their false and misleading dogmas and doctrines are actually against the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ upon whom and for exacting reason we are called "Christian" in both spirit and truth from which non-denominational protestant sectarian claimants have departed from as being so-called Christian] Only a skilled spiritual father can help you!
Remember: You cannot ride two horses or serve two masters for one of them will be harmed by your thoughts, your very words and your actions which is to blaspheme the Holy Ghost (Spirit) who will depart from you. And when the Holy Spirit departs, the great deceiver (unbeknownst to you) will rush in to fill the void under disguise of being the Holy Spirit! Testing of the Holy Spirit to insure it is the Holy Spirit does not, for many a Sectarian Protestant and Roman, work because the Great Deceiver (Satan) is most skilled in worming and snaking his charms around your mind and heart to feign being the Holy Spirit. Remember, Satan has the same gifts similar to the Holy Spirit but Satan's gifts are UN-HOLY and lead all who accept him (unbeknownst to you) to perdition.

Also See: Missionary Conversations with Protestant Sectarians The lives of monks consist of a podvig [(spiritual struggle) exploit] of repentance and of withdrawal from the world. They flee from judging their neighbor in his moral falls, considering themselves to be sinners and the worst of all men. But, when it is demanded of monks and other clergy, that they remain humble and indifferent to questions of faith, then do they cast off humility and obedience. It is demanded of them, by the conscience of the Church, the faith in and for the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ that They rise up when the truth of Orthodoxy is threatened. They are supported in this by a living conscience and by a sense of responsibility for that faith for which our forebears-martyrs and confessors alike-sacrificed everything, even their very lives. As a result we have opted to present to you the story about "Modern Day Ecumenism and its horrors" along with various links to who just a few of these Synchrestic Ecumenists are who threaten the root and branch of Christianity as exists in true Orthodox Catholic Christianity (Both Orthodox and Roman)!

"Do
not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said."
Matthew 28:5-6
The following articles and information do not necessarily reflect the attitude or beliefs of this jurisdiction or those who are with us in spirit and truth!
"I understand the idea of sodomy and homosexuality, but to say that homosexuality is not a sin is incorrect and not just in my mind but all of Orthodoxy and again, not just in Orthodoxy but all of Catholicism and again, not simply all of Catholicism but all of Christianity with the exception of those who have this in their personal life as sin or are very close to someone who does." (Ed. Note: We have never said "homosexuality is not a sin or okay... however, there are those who, being homosexual, are that way for a variety of reasons. The conversion tactics employed by many other groups, bespeaks of a "politics" that is not wholly honest. For, in their endeavors they have failed to show forth the truth that one is driven into a "closet" styled of life. It is better, we believe, to become wholly celibate, be it a homosexual and even heterosexual... and to learn what "celibacy" really means and requires).
If a man looks on a woman who is not his wife with lust, he has sinned, if he and she are married to other people he has committed adultery. If a man looks at a man with lust he has sinned the same as a man who looks at a woman. Sodomy does not have to enter into it, lust for someone is a sin and must be removed, now people do this all day long to be sure but it is still a sin. To say that homosexuality is not a sin allows homosexuals to live in sin without repentance and this is wrong to do to them spiritually.
It is for the sake of their own soul that one has to recognize sin that is in them and not to excuse it regardless of the sin or the preference of the sinner. Homosexuality is indeed a sin regardless of sodomy, the act of attraction or the lust is a sin even without action and simply must be repented. I must also add this; woe to all who misguide others into sin and especially those who are of the clergy who do this. For the sake of your own soul and others, you must recognize this and repent. I know that it is not easy to overcome and if it is never overcome then one must live a life of constant repentance, that is the only choice.
