/snip/ Women and girls remain deeply vulnerable in the wake of the earthquake. What can the government, NGOs, or other organizations do to ensure their safety, particularly against the threat of rape in tent cities and elsewhere?There have been a lot of rapes in the camps and they’ve been recorded even by institutions like CARE. Four major women’s organizations have created a forum mostly for advocacy on violence against women. They have also created a clinic for women victims of rape, sexual harassment and other types of violence where they are given medical and psychological care. In that process, they also document the cases so that they can eventually bring the cases to ...

He grew up in the woods and rivers of the county, fishing and swimming and hunting under sprawling blue skies and driving his rattletrap car insanely and lying on the moss with his girl and watching the branches above groping the sky and marveling as the young do at the strangeness of life, and the war came in a far country. It doesn’t matter which. It was just a country. His father, an angry man emitting the foul stench of patriotism, said his duty was to become a soldier and kill whoever it was in the far country, wherever it was. His father didn’t know or much care. It didn’t matter. Somebody would know. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. It would be a ...

"Protocols of Zion" is the NWO Blueprint August 31, 2003 "If this state can't acknowledge God, then other states can't ...And eventually the United States of America will not be able to acknowledge the very source of our rights and liberties and the very source of our laws." Judge Roy Moore Last week Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was suspended and his Ten Commandments monument removed from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building. Consider the irony: the injunction "Thou Shall Not Steal" is banished from the Judicial Building. How long can the concept of justice survive when it is divorced from belief in a transcendent moral order? As Moore ...
Latest Pedophelia Scandal Rocks the Vatican

Latest Pedophelia Scandal Rocks the Vatican - by Stephen Lendman Lest anyone think members of organized religions are above reproach, take note. In his new book "God and His Demons," Michael Parenti confronts both Old and New Testaments saying: "The god of the Holy Bible - so much adored in the United States and elsewhere - is ferociously vindictive, neurotically jealous, intolerant, vainglorious, punitive, wrathful, sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sadistic and homicidal. As they say, it's all in the Bible. Beware of those who act in the name of such a god. Were we to encounter these vicious traits in an ordinary man, we would judge him to be in need of ...
No Mr. President... You're Wrong

No Mr. President... You're Wrong Kevin McCullough Sunday, April 04, 2010 President Obama believes that there is little difference in the faiths that people hold. The basis for this, in his own mind, comes from a lack of conviction to his own belief in his own faith, and therefore the assumption is easily transferred to those of other faiths as well. But lest you think I'm making assertions that aren't well founded, let me back up. During his time in office, he claims to have replaced participation in a local church with getting little messages sent to him on his blackberry. Evidently God now has an app, and as such can easily fit in his pocket. He still has infamously not ...

How the first Christians understood Jesus' resurrection. Resurrection, by Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, 1778To observant Christians, Easter is about much more than bunnies and chocolate eggs. In 2008, Larry Hurtado examined how early believers came to grips with the idea of Jesus' resurrection. His column is reprinted below. Easter Sunday represents the foundational claim of Christian faith, the highest day of the Christian year as celebration of Jesus' resurrection. But many Christians are unsure what the claim that Jesus had been raised to new life after being crucified actually means—while non-Christians often find the whole idea of resurrection bemusing and ...

HA HA: Pope Never Got the Memo on Child Sex Abuse by UK TELEGRAPH (March 26, 2010) The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against a priest accused of abusing 200 deaf boys The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against allegations of sex abuse. A Vatican newspaper editorial said the claims were an "ignoble" attack on the Pope and that there was no "cover-up", the BBC reports. Archbishops had complained about Fr Lawrence Murphy in the 1990s to a Vatican office led by the future pope, but apparently received no response. But the Pope's spokesman defended him, saying the Vatican department which the ...
The Beatific Seegar

Why is it that nearly all my closest friends smoke seegars? This is the sort of question that, normally, one would dispense of quickly and neatly, but not today. Contemplating the question, it occurred to me that there is something about seegars that eludes certain people yet brings others together. Simple matter of taste perhaps? Perhaps. Perhaps not. All I really know is that the finest men I've met have all loved a good seegar. Equally true: Not one of them ever loved a bad seegar. Equally, equally true: Few women like seegars. Why is that? Most men know the standard nag about the vice that so comforts them on their flawed and transient sojourn through life. If you're a man, you ...
(More info) Who are the Christian militia 'Hutaree' and why was the FBI targeting them?

This weekend, the FBI conducted a series of raids in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana to detain members of a Christian militia group on criminal charges. So what does this group believe, and how do its members fit in with the larger radical right? The group in question calls itself the "Hutaree"; its website says the term translates as "Christian warrior." And in keeping with that name, the material it has posted online reflects an outlook of violent religious confrontation. The Hutaree believe that acts of violence can bring about the final judgment prophesied in the Christian Bible — and therefore have been arming themselves to go to war with the Antichrist, ...

by far the biggest expense in establishing an offshore oil or gas field is the helicopter. you need a competent twin-engine machine to go two or three hundred miles offshore, because if an engine quits out there somewhere, there's not much likelihood of anyone happening by, so far out in the weeds, to drag your ass out of the ocean... so it's nice to have a spare engine. anyhow, once you get out to the place you've decided to work, all you do is sprinkle pixie dust from the helicopter onto the site... pixie dust can be collected from the hyperactive imaginations of peak oil deniers, abiotic oil believers, chemtrail enthusiasts, and global warming deniers... so you sprinkle ...

The name Judge Roy Moore became well known across America when he was sued by the ACLU for a wood-burned miniature of The Ten Commandments that was on display in his courtroom. He won that three-year case on a technicality. He later became Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and had a 2 1/2 ton monument of The Ten Commandments brought ...

The Kingdom is Not of This World

“My kingdom is not of this world.” What did Jesus mean? He [was] heir to the throne of King David. Wise men had recognized Him as a King at birth. The people proclaimed Him the highest son of David when He entered Jerusalem.1 He preached a kingdom at hand2 and told us to do the same.3 He took,4 gave,5 and appointed6 the Kingdom. The Kingdom had been on earth from generation to generation.7 It was already there when He said He was going to take it away from the Pharisees and appoint it to the little flock and then He did. He said he would not eat again until He did so with them in the Kingdom with all things fulfilled8 ---and then He did eat,9 because all things were ...

The System (Also Known As Babylon) Is the system oppressing you? Do you feel that the system is oppressive? Is the system "unfair"? Do you feel that the system need to be "overhauled" or "destroyed"? Is the system inherently "evil"? These are valid questions that most people should be wondering about from time to time. I know I wondered for years, about how we could support a system that is so oppressive and evil. At least that is how I have felt in the past. And I have wondered to myself many times how is it that people completely support the system and keep supporting it, despite knowing how detrimental it is to their lives. Every hippy, ...
Vatican ends "wall of silence" over child abuse scandal

The Vatican is breaking its silence on the previously taboo subject of paedophilia, following allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Germany. As the Pope has now become embroiled in the scandal, the BBC's David Willey questions whether he has been doing his job properly. During four decades of reporting from the Vatican, I have never seen a graver crisis affecting the very credibility of the leadership of the world's longest surviving international organisation, the Roman Catholic Church. In recent weeks, Pope Benedict has had to deal with some very serious allegations. They have been documented in two official Dublin government reports on scandals concerning the way ...
Render Unto Caesar: A Most Misunderstood New Testament Passage

Render Unto Caesar: A Most Misunderstood New Testament Passage by Jeffrey F. Barr I. INTRODUCTION Christians have traditionally interpreted the famous passage "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's," to mean that Jesus endorsed paying taxes. This view was first expounded by St. Justin Martyr in Chapter XVII of his First Apology, who wrote, And everywhere we, more readily than all men, endeavor to pay to those appointed by you the taxes both ordinary and extraordinary, as we have been taught by Him; for at that time some came to Him and asked Him, if one ought to pay tribute to Caesar; and He answered, ...
the truth about Zoaster

Zoroaster/Zarathustra A religious change in Persia came about through the teachings of a man called Zoroaster (c.628-551? BC). Zoroaster, like Gautama Buddha (c.563-483? BC), may or may not have existed. The dates of their supposed lives vary by hundreds of years, and both were held to be one of numerous incarnations of zoroasters and buddhas. If there were real men behind either of these legends, then both their stories are obviously greatly embellished and rooted in the primal Mesopotamian myths. For a start, it is not credible that Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, was his given family name. The word literally means Seed of the Woman (Zero-Ashta, Zoro-Ishtar), and it is clear from everything ...

Adam was not the First Man by Pastor Bertrand L. Comparet Many people have become agnostics because of the supposed conflict between the Bible and science. In truth, there is no conflict at all between a correct translation of the Bible and really proven science, not just unproven theories. One of these supposed conflicts is between the fact that science knows that human beings have lived on the earth far longer than the few thousand years covered by the Bible and the common belief that the Bible says that Adam was the first man. Yes, I know that most of the preachers say that, but the Bible doesn't! It merely says that Adam was the first WHITE man. Let's look at the record. The ...

VEGANS and teetotallers are to be given the same protection against discrimination as religious groups, under legislation championed by Harriet Harman, the equalities minister. Members of cults and “new religions” such as Scientology, whose supporters include the film stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta, would also be offered protection, as would atheists. A code of practice explaining the legal implications of the equality bill states that religions need not be mainstream or well known for their adherents to gain protection. “A belief need not include faith or worship of a god or gods, but must affect how a person lives their life or perceives the world.” The code, ...
The Genealogy of Jesus Through Mary

The Genealogy of Jesus Through Mary Q: Where in the Bible can one find the genealogy of Mary the Mother of Christ? A: I am convinced that Luke gives the genealogy of Jesus through Mary. Notice how this genealogy begins: Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, Two things we need to recognize. First, the Bible usage of the phrase, the son of, is not nearly as strong as the direct word "begat" which is used in the genealogy found in the first chapter of Matthew. One who is the son of someone in the Bible may be a grandson, a descendant of many generations, an adopted son, or a ...

Al-Qaida calls on US Muslims to attack America

CAIRO (AP) - Al-Qaida's American-born spokesman on Sunday called on Muslims serving in the U.S. armed forces to emulate the Army major charged with killing 13 people in Fort Hood. In a 25-minute video posted on militant Web sites, Adam Gadahn described Maj. Nidal Hasan as a pioneer who should serve as a role model for other Muslims, especially those serving Western militaries. "Brother Nidal is the ideal role-model for every repentant Muslim in the armies of the unbelievers and apostate regimes," he said. Gadahn, also known as Azzam al-Amriki, was dressed in white robes and wearing a white turban as he called for attacks on what he described as "high-value ...
