Shoebat wants to revive Crusades against Muslims and other heretics? a.k.a. Protestants!!! "Its going to take a miracle to revive the old Crusading spirit".
By Theodore Shoebat
Pope Francis will be being accompanied by a Muslim heretic and
follower of the Antichrist religion, Islam. The Muslim’s name is Omar
Abboud, and he will be accompanied with a rabbi named Abraham Skorka as
he is with the Pope during his trip in the Middle East.
This is absolute heresy what Francis doing, being associated with a Muslim.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: forAccording to
what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion hath light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14)
one report:
By taking them along with him, Francis is sending “aLast year Pope Francis wrote a happy Ramadan letter to the Muslim world in which he wrote:
formidable message,” namely that “good interreligious dialogue is a
normal part of the holy father’s way of life and of presenting himself,”
said Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
I also think with affection of those Muslim immigrantsInterestingly, Muslims make 35% of Italy’s prison population,
who this evening begin the fast of Ramadan, which I trust will bear
abundant spiritual fruit. The Church is at your side as you seek a more
dignified life for yourselves and your families.
and yet the Pope, is suppose to be the spiritual defender of the
Catholic Church, is saying nothing about the Islamic threat. Sickening!
Whatever happened to the days when the popes of the Middle Ages
commenced and organized Crusades against Muslims and other heretics? Its
going to take a miracle to revive the old Crusading spirit.
The Catholic Church has become a club and a hub for homosexual
activist. Germán Robledo, former head of the Church Tribunal of the
Archdiocese of Cali in Colombia, said:
To be a priest is attractive for homosexuals because theyWhat Christianity needs is another Josiah, who “slew all the priests
can lead a double life. It is the refuge of those who do not dare to
face their families. The Catholic Church is the closet of gays.
of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s
bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.” (2 Kings 23:20)
But we don’t have a Josiah. Instead, we have a bunch of sodomites and
sodomite sympathizers, and those who wish to “build bridges” and play
the harlot with Islam. Francis is harloting himself to the Islamic
heresy, which is a heretical and false theology contrary to all
Orthodoxy.
Also, when Francis is in the Middle East his appeasement toward Islam
will not automatically prevent Muslims from attacking him. The Muslim
world wants the Pope dead, and it is always likely that a Muslim will
try to assassinate him. Maybe the assassination of the Pope by a Muslim
will be the only thing that will force the Catholic Church to finally
confront Islam and return to its former days when it actually fought
back.
Christus Vincit!

Pa. police powers increased, Supreme Court: Pennsylvania cops no longer need a warrant to search citizens’ vehicles
Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery
By BRETT HAMBRIGHT | Staff Writer
Pennsylvania police officers no longer need a warrant to search a
citizen’s vehicle, according to a recent state Supreme Court opinion.
The high court’s opinion, released Tuesday, is being called a drastic change in citizens’ rights and police powers.
RELATED: Local cops discuss warrantless searches, probable cause
Previously, citizens could refuse an officer’s request to search a vehicle. In most cases, the officer would then need a warrant — signed by a judge — to conduct the search.
That’s no longer the case, according to the opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery.
The ruling, passed on a 4-2 vote, was made in regard to an appeal from a 2010 vehicle stop in Philadelphia.
Local police and legal professionals are calling the opinion “big news.”
“This is a significant change in long-standing Pennsylvania criminal law, and it is a good one,” Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman said Wednesday afternoon.
Under prior law, an officer who smells marijuana inside a car, for example, could only search the car with the driver’s consent — or if illegal substances were in plain view.
(Federal officers, like FBI or ATF agents, can search, regardless.)
RELATED: What exactly is probable cause? What qualifies as means for an officer to search a vehicle?
Now, based on the opinion, it only takes reasonable probable cause for an officer to go ahead with a search without a warrant.
“The prerequisite for a warrantless search of a motor vehicle is probable cause to search,” McCaffery writes in the opinion. “We adopt the federal automobile exception... which allows police officers to search a motor vehicle when there is probable cause to do so...”
Previously, a warrantless search was only allowed if “exigent circumstances” existed, the opinion states.
“This case gives the police simpler guidelines to follow and (it) finally and clearly renders our law consistent with established federal law,” Stedman said.
“It is a ruling that helps law enforcement as they continue to find people in possession of illegal drugs,” New Holland police Lt. Jonathan Heisse said Wednesday.
While police rejoice over what’s been a lasting issue, citizens might not be as thrilled.
“It’s an expanding encroachment of government power,” defense attorney Jeffrey Conrad said Wednesday morning, while reviewing the 62-page opinion. “It’s a protection we had two days ago, that we don’t have today. It’s disappointing from a citizens’ rights perspective.”
Christopher Patterson, another veteran defense lawyer, said: “I am concerned that we are on a slippery slope that will eliminate personal privacy and freedom in the name of expediency for law enforcement.”
Shiem Gary filed the Philadelphia appeal, arguing that police didn’t have probable cause to search his vehicle on Jan. 15, 2010. Officers found two pounds of marijuana stashed under the vehicle’s hood.
Lancaster defense attorney Michael Winters noted that police still need good reasons to pull over a vehicle and conduct a search.
“This does not mean that they may search every vehicle they stop,” Winters said. “They must still develop probable cause before they are permitted to search your vehicle without a warrant.”
In the Gary case, probable cause for the vehicle stop was window tint the officers believed to be illegal. Officers smelled marijuana and asked about it; Shiem then told an officer there was “weed” in the vehicle. A search ensued.
“This case does not eliminate the need for the police to have probable cause to search,” Stedman said.
The district attorney said the ruling puts Pennsylvania in line with federal law and many other states.
Locals stressed that probable cause to stop a vehicle does not equate with probable cause to search it.
A driver can still refuse if an officer asks for consent to search a car. The officer can then only search if he/she has probable cause to do so, or a warrant. A driver refusing consent, alone, does not give a police officer probable cause to search.
Christopher Lyden, another local defense lawyer, believes if an officer wants to search a vehicle without consent, they should have to get approval from a judge — as they do in searches of homes.
“Judicial oversight of vehicle searches, just like residential searches,” he said, “helps maintain a free society.”
Chief Supreme Court Justice Ronald D. Castille and Justices J. Michael Eakin and Thomas G. Saylor joined McCaffery in the majority.
Justices Debra McCloskey Todd and Max Baer opposed it.

Adolf Hitler's rise to power, blue print for America
Hitler is even quoted as saying “I can see Himmler as our Ignatius of Loyola”. Understand Ignatius of Loyola is the founder of the Jesuits which goal is to turn the reformation around. The Jesuits and the Catholic church were behind Hitler. He was also founded by Prescott Bush. And let us not forget the present pope is a Jesuit and he is scheduled to come to a America to speak to a joint session of congress. In short we have Ignatius of Loyola coming to speak to our government. Time to sound the trumpet!!!
Reichstag was burned and blamed on the Communists and then came the Enabling Act. With that there was NO freedom of press, NO freedom to assemble. YOU either love Hitler or you were arrested. We have heard this before "You are either with us or against us" The Germans had the Reichstag fire where they passed the enabling act and We in America had 911, where they passed the Patriot Act. The Enabling Act and the Patriot Act are exactly alike. We have NO bill of rights with the Patriot Act. There was 25 political parties battling for power. After the Enabling Act there was NONE. Why? They were rounded up and put in consecration camps. Fema has divided up the united states into ten regions. The Jesuits have this country divided up into ten Provinces. Click here for more information. To understand the Grand Design of Rome. Click here When we understand the third Reich, then we understand the fourth Reich, the United States of Rome the power base and who is behind the New World Order, it is just simply the Old World Order(Rome) coming back as the New World Order. These people are not globalists, they are Jesuits. Let me close with this. There are 89 Jesuit universities around the world and 28 Jesuit universities in America. One third of the power base is in America. If you control books and history, you control the minds of the world. The Jesuits are globalists!!!!
It is time to be a watchman on the wall!!!

Former House stenographer who went on religious rant speaks out
Hello Dear Friends!
First of all, let me thank you all for your prayers in response to the email we sent out regarding our interview this past Monday.
I have been asked by several people how the interview with Fox went this past week.
A very small segment of it was on TV, which someone graciously created a video and placed it on YouTube, complete with Scripture that really blessed me. It's here at this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
and then there was an article written on Fox's web site as well:
http://www.foxnews.com/
(Both links are provided if you are interested in them.)
This is why Danny and I prefer the youtube format....it is hard to be misquoted when you are doing the actual quoting! (You may quote me on that!!!
) The individual who interviewed me is Chad Pergam, the senior correspondent for Fox on Capitol Hill. Chad is a wonderful man who I had the pleasure of knowing during my time at the Capitol.
Please pray for him and his wife as we hope that this tugs on their hearts to ask questions and investigate the wonderful grace of our Savior!
Thank you for your prayers!

But former House of Representatives stenographer Dianne Reidy believes the journey which took her to the rostrum last fall began nine years ago. Long before Reidy commandeered the dais in the House chamber and began a religious-themed rant during last October's vote to end the partial government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
Reidy's rant made her the most famous stenographer in the world.
It also got her fired.
"When I walked into the building for my interview, I knew this is where God had me for his purpose.
Not my skills. But he would have me strategically placed at the House of Representatives and I never knew the purpose of it," Reidy said in an interview with Fox News, speaking out months later about the bizarre episode which startled lawmakers at the time.
Reidy tried to offer her side. She believed her hiring to document and transcribe what lawmakers say all day in press conferences, at hearings and on the floor -- was God's plan. Set in motion nearly a decade ago and culminating during one of the most important and watched roll call votes in recent memory.
"I still felt that there was more of a purpose in this than just my family's security and a great salary," said Reidy. "It was leading up to this. God was revealing to me this is the purpose that I was sent there for."
An inferno consumed Capitol Hill last fall. Congress morphed into a combustible tinderbox as the entire federal government largely shuttered for the first time in nearly 17 years. Lawmakers traded opprobrium in a pitched standoff with the White House. Tempers flared as the surly atmosphere spilled over into debates about closed monuments and political motives. Tensions erupted over one warm afternoon during the partial shutdown as 34-year-old Miriam Carey led U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) and the U.S. Secret Service on a mad chase through the streets of Washington and around the Capitol. The pursuit ended with the spectacular crash of a USCP cruiser followed by officers shooting and killing the unarmed Carey by the Hart Senate Office Building.
It was almost too much. The car chase was the last thing anyone needed as lawmakers, aides and journalists all dreaded heading to work each day -- sleep-deprived, angst-ridden and testy.
They weren't the only ones losing sleep. It was a fitful time for Dianne Reidy, too.
A few weeks after the chase, Reidy would shock lawmakers during the big vote -- jammering about God, Satan, a "house divided" and a "deception" that the U.S. was "one nation under God." But in her words, Reidy didn't initially comprehend why she wasn't sleeping.
"The Lord was waking me up in the middle of the night for about two weeks straight. I had that stirring in my spirit. Something was going on. He was doing something in me. So I was just getting into the word of God. Getting into the Bible every night for two weeks," Reidy said. "It was very, very peaceful. The scriptures really came to life for me, you know, speaking to me."
Reidy says those nocturnal Bible studies led her to the book of Revelation and Joel, one of the 12 books of minor prophets. Joel centers around a national call to repent and a reward from God.
"It was clear to me that this was about judgment on our nation -- that it was a warning for our nation. And it was also about God extending his gift of mercy," Reidy said.
Reidy says she wasn't sure how this would all play out until three days before the pivotal vote. It all came into sharper focus as efforts intensified to re-open the government.
"I was praying all day and the days leading up to it. Lord, crucify my flesh because in my flesh I cannot do it. I do not want to get up and do this. This is not my thing. This is God's thing," Reidy said.
On the House floor, eight stenographers rotate in 15 minute shifts to document what lawmakers say. Reidy said it soon became clear in her mind that her shift would come up during the vote to re-open the government and hike the debt limit.
"The Lord had positioned me for that perfect timing," Reidy said, noting she didn't know that she would speak before the House. And Reidy said when she did launch into her oration, she could have done it from a number of podiums throughout the chamber. She ultimately wound up at the one of the dais where the president addresses Congress and the nation during State of the Union.
Reidy says she doesn't remember much after that as she casually strode to the dais and asked Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who was presiding over the vote, if the microphones were switched on.
Reidy then began, stunning lawmakers milling about on the floor. Reidy's voice strained above the din, starting with "God will not be mocked.'
Chamber security personnel soon lugged Reidy off the dais and into the hall before stuffing her in an elevator. WNYC-FM reporter Todd Zwillich and Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times snared a brief recording of Reidy in the corridor. Along the way, Reidy shouted "This is not one nation under God. It never was" and "the Constitution would not have been built by Free Masons."
"I am happy to have that recording because I have no memory of what was said," noted Reidy.
The elevator doors closed as Reidy spat out one last proclamation.
"Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ," exhorted Reidy.
And it was over.
In the aftermath, Reidy says some people believe her when she tells them it was the Holy Spirit speaking.
"Then there is the camp that thinks I was stressed out from work and had a breakdown," Reidy said.
"For those who don't believe that it was the Holy Spirit speaking and that I'm a lunatic, I would just say, what if you're wrong?"
Reidy said she presumed she'd be fired and even thought she may be arrested. That didn't happen. But she and her husband are now losing their home.
"It came down to a choice. Do I choose the worldly things? The beautiful home that we've raised our beautiful twin, eight-year-old daughters in? Or do I choose the Lord? Do I choose God? That's a no-brainer for me. I choose God."
And as to whether God's message got through, Reidy says she isn't sure.
"Only God knows," she said.
EXPOSED: Noah’s Ark Has Been Discovered. Why Do They Keep it Secret?
Why is this not a BIG story?
I’m
often amazed at our lack of knowledge about history. Ordinary people
are hungry for this information, yet the organizations responsible to
disseminate these facts seem to have an agenda to keep us in the dark.
This is especially true when it comes to our ancient human history.
I won’t hold you in suspense with this article: The Ark of Noah has been found. It’s real. I’ll describe the evidence in some detail and end with the historical and religious implications.
How It Was Discovered
In
1959, Turkish army captain Llhan Durupinar discovered an unusual shape
while examining aerial photographs of his country. The smooth shape,
larger than a football field, stood out from the rough and rocky terrain
at an altitude of 6,300 feet near the Turkish border with Iran.
Capt. Durupinar was familiar with the biblical accounts of the Ark and its association with Mount Ararat in Turkey, but he was reluctant to jump to any conclusions. The region was very remote, yet it was inhabited with small villages. No previous reports of an object this odd had been made before. So he forwarded the photographic negative to a famous aerial photography expert named Dr. Brandenburger, at Ohio State University.
Brandenburger
was responsible for discovering the Cuban missile bases during the
Kennedy era from reconnaissance photos, and after carefully studying the
photo, he concluded: “I have no doubt at all, that this object is a
ship. In my entire career, I have never seen an object like this on a
stereo photo.”
In 1960 the picture [above] was published in LIFE magazine under the heading of Noahs Ark? That same year a group of Americans accompanied Capt. Durupinar to the site for a day and a half. They were expecting to find artifacts on the surface or something that would be unquestionably related to a ship of some kind. They did some digging in the area but found nothing conclusive and announced to the anxiously waiting world that it appeared to be a natural formation.
Most of the global media turned away from the find and it became a non-story.
In
1977 Ron Wyatt visited the site. Obtaining official permission, Ron and
others conducted more thorough research over a period of several years.
They used metal detection surveys, subsurface radar scans, and chemical
analysis — real science — and their findings were startling. The
evidence was undeniable. This was the Ark of Noah.
The Visual Evidence
The
first part of the survey was to examine the object and take its
measurements. The shape looked like hull of a ship. One end was pointed
as you would expect from bow [below: D] and the
opposite end was blunt like a stern. The distance from bow to stern was
515 feet, or exactly 300 Egyptian cubits. The average width was 50
cubits. These were the exact measurements mentioned in the Bible.
On the starboard side (right) near the stern there were four vertical bulges protruding from the mud [B], at regular intervals, that were determined to be the “ribs” of the hull [see below]. Opposite to these, on the port side, a single rib [A] protrudes from the mud. You can see its curved shape very clearly. Surrounding it are more ribs, still largely buried in the mud, but visible upon close examination.
Remember
that this object, if it is the Ark, is extremely old. The wood has been
petrified. Organic matter has been replaced by minerals from the earth.
Only the shapes and traces of the original wood remain. Perhaps this is
why the expedition in 1960 was disappointed. They anticipated finding
and retrieving chucks of wood, long since eroded.
From the position of the object in the middle of an obvious mud flow, it is obvious that the object slid down more than a mile from its original location. Geologists believe it was originally over 1000 feet higher in the mountain and encased in a shell of hardened mud. They think that an earthquake in 1948 cracked the mud shell and revealed the structure. This is confirmed by stories from the surrounding villagers who tell of its “sudden appearance” around that time.
Biblical accounts of the Ark describe it as having as many as six levels. The assumed shape of the Ark seems consistent with the bulge [C] in the middle of the object. In fact, as we will soon learn, radar scans of the structure suggest that this bulge is the collapsed debris of these levels.
Although most people
think of the Ark as being rectangular, that only applies to the top
decks. The sleek shape of the hull is necessary to enable the huge ship
to remain stable in the water and survive tremendous waves.
Ground Penetrating Radar
The
human eye needs to see reflected light to recognize an object. To
visualize what remains below the earth, scientists use microwaves which
can penetrate the ground and bounce back when they hit something solid.
This technique is commonly used to locate oil and other minerals. Called
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), the apparatus us made from an antenna
that transmits, then listens to receive the “echo” and prints the result
on a piece of paper. The delay and strength of this echo tell the
geologists how solid and at what depth the objects are under the earth.
The team of geologists didn’t scan the entire object. Instead, they marked out lines that crossed the object with yellow tape. Then they dragged the antenna (about the size of a lawnmower) over the lines and watched the output on the paper recorder. When they got a strong “hit” — meaning there was something solid underneath — they would record the position on the tape [above]. Later, when they made a map of the object, the tape and the location of the “hits” they realized that there was indeed a structure underneath the mud.
“This data does not represent natural geology. These are man made structures. These reflections are appearing too periodic… too periodic to be random in that type of natural pace.” - Ron Wyatt of SIR Imaging team
The radar cans revealed this structure [above] under the mud. The symmetry and logical placement of these objects shows that this is unmistakably a man made structure, most likely the Ark of Noah.
Artifacts Retrieved From The Ark
Using
the GPR, Ron Wyatt discovered an open cavity on the starboard side. He
used an improvised drill to make core sample inside this cavity and
retrieved several very interesting objects. Below you can see the
artifacts which were sent for laboratory analysis. On the left is the
bore hole [see below], followed by what turned out to be petrified animal dung, then a petrified antler and lastly a piece of cat hair.
Perhaps the most significant find from the Ark itself is a piece of petrified wood. When this was first found it appeared to be a large beam. But upon closer examination it is actually three pieces of plank that have been laminated together with some kind of organic glue! This is the same technology used in modern plywood. Lamination makes the total strength of the wood much greater than the combined strength of the pieces. This suggests a knowledge of construction far beyond anything we knew existed in the ancient world.
Tests by Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee, showed the sample to contain over 0.7% organic carbon, consistent with fossilized wood. The specimen was once living matter.
Examination reveals the glue oozed from the layers. The outside of the wood appears to have been coated with bitumen.
Even
more surprising were laboratory analyses which not only revealed that
the petrified wood contained carbon (proving it was once wood) but there
were iron nails [above right] embedded in the wood!
We
like to imagine that humanity evolved in a neat sequence of eras, each
named after the technology that was discovered. We have the Stone Age
(where man developed arrows and stone tools), the Bronze Age (where
metals were combined and heated to make tools and household items) and
lastly the Iron Age (where iron and steel objects were made by heating
iron ore and adding other material — like charcoal — to strengthen it).
The Iron Age is usually placed at 1200-1000 BC, yet we have iron nails
being used in this extremely old construction
But Wait… There’s More!
The
most surprising find was discovered with sensitive metal detectors. The
team located several strong “hits” that, when dug up, revealed large
disc shaped rivets. From simple observation of the metal it was possible
to see where the rivet had been hammered after being inserted through a
hole [below].
If rivets being used in ancient construction doesn’t impress you, this surely will.
An
analysis of the metal used to make the rivets revealed that they were a
combination of iron (8.38%), aluminum (8.35%) and titanium (1.59%).
Remember these trace metals have survived petrification and so do not
indicate the exact content in the original material. (see Report from Galbraith Labs)
We
know the aluminum was incorporated in the metallic mixture because it
does not exist in metallic form in nature. This implies an extremely
advanced knowledge of metallurgy and engineering. Characteristics of an
iron-aluminum alloy have been investigated in The Russian Chemical Bulletin (2005)
and reveal that this alloy forms a thin film of aluminum oxide which
protects the material from rust and corrosion. The addition of titanium
would provide added strength. This seems to have worked. The rivets have
survived from antiquity!
The Surrounding Areas
Several
miles from the location of the Ark, huge stones were discovered, some
standing upright while others lying on the ground. These stones,
weighing many tons, have holes carved in them. Scientists have
determined that they were anchors and the holes would have been their
attachment to a ship with hemp rope.
Often these stones will have crosses carved in them, from centuries ago when pilgrims made the journey to visit the Ark. Yes, the Ark was well known in the Middle Ages and even before. And its location was recorded in many historical documents.
“And the Ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.” – Genesis 8:4-5
The
Gilgamesh Epic (650 BC) gives Mt. Nisir as the landing place of the
Ark. The local name for the town where the Ark was found is Nasar.
The annals of Ashurnasurpal II of Assyria (833-859 BC) places it south of the Zab river (correct).
Theophilus
of Antioch (115-185 AD) said the Ark could be seen in his day in the
Arabian mountains.
Later Church Fathers also mention the Ark as late as the mid 7th century.

In the 13th century, Willam, a traveler, stated for the first time that Mt. Masis was the Ark location (present-day Mt. Ararat).
Ptolemy’s
Geographia (1548) mentions the mountains of Armenia as the place of
landing. So does the traveler Nicolas de Nicolay (1558).
Pilgrims
to the site would gather bits and pieces of the petrified wood which
would be used as charms to ward off evil. When they encountered the
anchors, they had no doubt about their association with the Ark. They
often carved one big cross to represent Noah and smaller crosses
representing his family.
The huge anchors would have been suspended from the keel of the ship. This was a common practice among ancient mariners to stabilize a heavy ship and ensure that the bow is always facing the on-coming waves. A “top heavy” ship, such as the Ark, could easily be capsized by a wave approaching from the side. This is yet further proof that Noah’s Ark was a reality and that it has indeed been found in Turkey.
