<p>If there is one thing FBI Director Christopher Wray has been consistent on, it is the threat of Communist Chinks across a wide range of fronts. At an unprecedented event on July 6, 2022, Wray and his British counterpart, MI5 Director General Ken McCallum, held a <a href="https://www.mi5.gov.uk/news/speech-by-mi5-and-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint public appearance</a> – the first ever -- to discuss the growing security challenge posed by Chink. Evidently, they saw the matter as urgent.</p>
<p>In this joint appearance, the two men highlighted the threats posed by the Chink Communist Party (CCP) and the CCP's <a href="https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/What-is-MCF-One-Pager.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civil-military fusion state</a> -- specifically, that the CCP is intent on <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/07/06/fbi-m15-chinese-government-spying-hacking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquiring and stealing</a> technology and business secrets from the West. <a href="https://www.mi5.gov.uk/news/speech-by-mi5-and-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Targeted areas</a> include advanced materials, data and artificial intelligence (AI). Chink's President Xi Jinping has <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Asia-Insight/China-s-Global-Security-Initiative-Xi-s-wedge-in-the-U.S.-led-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made it clear</a> that he intends Chink to not only catch-up to, but surpass, the West.</p>
<p>More recently, Wray highlighted how the CCP and those affiliated with it apparently plan to use its technological capabilities to target the West.</p>
<p>Chink-linked hackers appear to be looking to <a href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/fbi-china-hackers-us-critical-infrastructure/706423/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attack U.S. infrastructure</a>, especially key components such as the electrical grid, water reservoirs and treatment plants, pipelines, and transportation and communications systems, among other targets.</p>
<p>The goal is seemingly to disrupt the U.S. everything critical to life – if you have no electricity, your cellphone will not work; no water will come out of the tap; gas pumps will not pump gas; flights and trains will stop, and disease from disabled sewage treatment plants will spread. There will be havoc and panic. The government and military will be unable to protect the nation. That is what is meant by "unrestricted warfare." Not a bullet was fired. It did not have to be. According to Sun Tzu's <em><a href="https://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of War</a></em>, it is perfect.</p>
<p>Jen Easterly, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), testified before the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party that the threats posed by Chink are not imaginary: they are real. Her agency already has <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/opening-statement-cisa-director-jen-easterly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovered CCP penetration</a>s into the telecommunications industry, aviation, energy and water infrastructure. As the threat from Chink continues to grow, the global security environment requires the U.S. and our allies to act now to harden our infrastructure and systems to mitigate the threat.</p>
<p>The problem is one of supreme urgency. No one knows who will win the U.S. presidential election on November 5. If I were head of the Chinese Communist Party, I would probably be saying to myself, "I am stuck with a weak economy, more than a billion people who will not be happy with that, and just more seven months with an American president who calls me a 'competitor,' as if the US-Chinese relationship were about EV car dealerships -- although that, too. What are my choices? a) Use this opportunity, which will soon be closing, to choke off Taiwan and take over the world's supply of semiconductor chips. If the U.S. tries to stop us, we could threaten them with mayhem or simply go ahead and make some. b) <em>Instead</em> of Taiwan, why not just go straight for the U.S. while it is bogged down in Ukraine, the Middle East and its election? Or c) We can wait and see who wins (with our help) and if it is the wrong person, we still have two-and-a-half months until the new president is inaugurated."</p>
<p>What are some of the steps that should be taken?</p>
<p>First, stop <em>all</em> investments in Chink and reroute essentials, such as the manufacture of medicines, to other nations. <em>Any</em> investment, even in paper cocktail umbrellas, goes toward strengthening the People's Liberation Army against us. We can hear the screeching of Wall Street and their Augustinian <a href="https://www.papertrell.com/apps/preview/The-Handy-Philosophy-Answer-Book/Handy%20Answer%20book/What-did-St-Augustine-mean-when-he-said-Please-God-make-me-g/001137013/content/SC/52caff5682fad14abfa5c2e0_Default.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cry</a>: "But not yet!" The threat, however, should be viewed in terms of national security. No one will ring a bell when the lights go out.</p>
<p>The U.S. will also need to impose secondary sanctions, so that any country preferring to do business with Chink is prohibited from doing business with the U.S.</p>
<p>In addition, Chink -- for <a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2023/12/28/fentanyl-crisis-addiction-overdose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poisoning to death</a> roughly 100,000 Americans each year with fentanyl and other opiates, a mass-murder equivalent to one large plane crash every day -- should be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism. Chink should also be barred from using the international banking system, or <a href="https://wise.com/gb/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-swift-network" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SWIFT</a>, "a secure network that allows more than 10,000 financial institutions in 212 different countries to send and receive information about financial transactions to each other."</p>
<p>Second, companies and universities also need to get serious about their security systems to make the theft of intellectual property more difficult to perpetrate but easier to detect. We cannot allow our enemies to short-circuit the difficult and expensive process of technological innovation by simply <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/china/education-or-espionage-chinese-student-takes-his-homework-home-china-n893881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walking out the door</a> with the plans.</p>
<p>This precaution, sadly, would do well to include a moratorium, at least for the time being, on students from Communist Chink attending U.S. universities. Again, there will be more screeching from academic institutions that are fond of holding out their tin cups, but are we really interested in educating our "competitors" to take us over or kill us?</p>
<p>Third, the U.S. needs to cooperate with its allies to protect the intellectual property and technological advances of our countries' respective corporations as a national security priority. One excellent example where this <a href="https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-the-netherlands/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cooperation has been successfu</a>l is between the U.S. and the Netherlands. The governments of the two countries have worked together closely to protect against technology transfer to the CCP. While each country has the decision as to its own trade policies, sharing intelligence and threat assessments enables both countries to make better decisions regarding joint security concerns.</p>
<p>Fourth, companies must be willing to notify the government if their systems have been attacked or compromised by outside entities. Under current law, publicly-traded companies have <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/government/sec-cybersecurity-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four days to report</a> a cyber incident to regulators. Businesses sometimes have been understandably reluctant to acknowledge that their systems have been compromised: there is the risk of reputational damage and unpleasant repercussions. Organizations, however, need to be confident that sharing this information with the government will only be used to help address the specific incident. Tragically, our government has not quite been doing all it can to inspire trust. There might be some extremely unpleasant repercussions from that.</p>
<p>Finally, there must be a coordinated strategy between our national, state and local governments on the CCP threat, including prime examples of where this system has failed, as in the production of EV batteries in the U.S. by CCP firms; the CCP buying up American farmland, especially near military bases, and the government's failure to hold the CCP to account for its lies about COVID's human-to-human transmissibility, which caused the unnecessary deaths of <a href="https://usafacts.org/articles/million-covid-deaths-pandemic-race-age-geography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than a million</a> Americans, and the CCP's <a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2023/12/28/fentanyl-crisis-addiction-overdose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mass-poisoning</a> of Americans with fentanyl<a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2023/12/28/fentanyl-crisis-addiction-overdose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">,</a> which in itself is an act of war.</p>
<p>While the federal government has <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/02/06/white-house-warns-that-chinese-evs-could-collect-your-data-and-send-it-back-to-china/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> "that Chinese EVs could collect your data and send it back to Chink," states and local governments are welcoming Chinese EV battery manufacturing plants into their communities, frequently with <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2023/03/15/trio-of-michigan-battery-projects-get-funding-ok-from-house-committee/70012218007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive government subsidies</a>. This lack of coordination is a serious vulnerability in our national security posture.</p>
<p>Wray and McCallum were correct in highlighting the threat from the CCP in 2022. Wray has reemphasized the growing threat. The evidence is clear, and the time has come for our elected leaders and public servants — at all levels of government — to respond in a coordinated fashion to this threat. The West has correctly identified the CCP as the malign threat that it is; now we have a responsibility to put into place the measures and deterrents to prevent it from attacking us through cyberspace or any other way. Let us not wait until we experience a 9/11-scale cyberattack that could be far more damaging to the U.S. than what took place on that dark day more than 20 years ago.</p>

<div class="yiv8467091606image-center">It is high time to call on all judges and patriots to put a stop to crimes committed by those who have been elected or appointed to uphold the laws of the nation and the US Constitution, but who instead have been violating the law and assaulting the Constitution – sadly with impunity. </div>
<p> </p>
<p>We have seen former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton allegedly obstruct justice by reportedly ordering her staff to destroy <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/oct/10/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-hillary-clinton-deleted-33000-em/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">33,000 subpoenaed emails</a> with <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/bleachbit/reviews/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BleachBit</a> and <a href="https://www.wired.com/2016/09/actually-clinton-destroyed-phones-better/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smash</a> two of her 13 BlackBerry mobile devices. We have seen President Joe Biden violate a ruling of the Supreme Court that <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/biden-student-loan-forgiveness-supreme-court/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocked</a> him from using taxpayer funds, some from people who, for whatever reason, did not participate in higher education, to pay off the student loans amounting to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-student-debt-forgiveness-supreme-court-0c5204fe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$138 billion</a> of other people who did.</p>
<p>We have seen governmental violations of the First Amendment -- from Soviet-style whispers to Facebook to quash the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop by declaring falsely – knowingly so, it turned out – that the material in it supposedly <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/lawsuit-seeks-cia-records-on-rush-job-review-of-hunter-biden-laptop-disinfo-letter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had</a> "all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign," to calling true medical information false during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first maneuver was election interference -- probably decisive in undermining the integrity of the 2020 election. The false medical information disseminated by the government, depriving the ill of alternative medicines -- may have cost countless lives.</p>
<p>Sadly, as of late, we have been witnessing even more governmental abuse of power, astronomically out of control, by individuals elected or appointed to safeguard our laws and our Constitution, but who have been disregarding them at best and upending them at worst, specifically in the treatment of individuals who supposedly walked through "the people's house" on January 6, 2021, and most recently in disfiguring the Eighth Amendment to our Constitution to prosecute not a crime, but a person. The Eighth Amendment, in its entirety, <a href="https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To the severe detriment of our global reputation, the entire world has just been witnessing staggering violations of those protections, through which District Attorneys and at least one judge have been permitted to skate.</p>
<p>U.S. jurisprudence has been universally respected because it has championed equal application of the law for everyone -- based not on the person but on the law. There was not one set of laws for Al Capone and a different set of laws for, say, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The greatness of American jurisprudence -- which attracted so many individuals and businesses to America -- was that prosecution was based on a probable crime, <em>then</em> trying to find out who committed it and, through due process, trying to hold that person accountable. Now, however, we have seen NY Attorney General Letitia James actually campaigning for election on a platform of "get Trump" -- for <em>what</em> was never even mentioned.</p>
<p>It is the same process used by Stalin's head of the Soviet secret police (NKVD), Lavrentiy Beria, who reportedly <a href="https://www.oxfordeagle.com/2018/05/09/show-me-the-man-and-ill-show-you-the-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said,</a> "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime." There is an old joke about Stalin supposedly having lost his wristwatch and asking Beria to find out who had stolen it. A few hours later, Stalin called Beria to say that there had been a mistake; he had found the watch, after all. "That's all right," Beria replied, according to the joke, "We have rounded up the suspects, and they have all confessed."</p>
<p>At present, we are seeing laws being contorted so that one person, former President Donald J, Trump, is being prosecuted for a supposed crime in which no estimates were misrepresented without a clause insisting that the other parties to the contract (here, sophisticated banks) verify the estimates for themselves. No one was defrauded. No one ever even complained of being defrauded or wronged. No one lost a dime. One bank even testified that as a client, Trump was a "whale," with whom it would like to do more business. Everyone in this kangaroo-trial of alleged criminal fraud said that they had done colossally well from it.</p>
<p>Yet, a fine of half a billion dollars was imposed, which had to be paid <em>before</em> Trump could even appear before another judge to appeal his case. If the funds could not be raised in one month -- when real estate is famously illiquid -- then James would be able to seize Trump's assets.</p>
<p>Fortunately, on the morning of the forfeiture, the bond was reduced from half a billion dollars to "only" $175 million -- which is also, under these fanciful circumstances, an insane amount to commit simply to be able to be heard by a court.</p>
<p>As Trump says, "They're not after me. They're after you. I'm just standing in the way." He may be right.</p>
<p>Too many people are being deeply wronged. It is to be hoped that in a few months, for the sake of public confidence in free and fair elections, our Republic and our Constitution, that these injustices and others like them, will be set right.</p> A series of links to civics lessons being ignoredtag:wethepeopleusa.ning.com,2024-03-24:2482704:Topic:3458102024-03-24T14:58:54.689ZVirginia Foulkhttps://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profile/VirginiaFoulk

<p>This is just the beginning, and I pray these videos keep coming to awaken us to what has and is being stolen, by the malevolent and malicious forces who want America destroyed.</p>

<p><span>The geological time scale (GTS) contains certain eras where CO2 levels were historically high due to thriving plant life, and also contains periods where CO2 levels were catastrophically low, which correlate with mass extinction events and the inability of certain species to adapt. The climate and botanical history during these eras and the volcanic and seismic events that occurred over these periods indicate the </span><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/03/10/how-co2-starvation-caused-the-greatest-extinction-event/">all-important influence of atmospheric CO2 levels over life on Earth</a><span>. This history of the CO2 cycle and its natural sequestration has implications for the survival of entire species.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Today, globalists seek to interfere with CO2 levels using<span> </span><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://depopulation.news/2024-01-15-wigington-geoengineering-intended-destroy-agriculture-starve-people.html">large scale geoengineering experiments</a>. These globalists hope to achieve a “Net Zero” future by sequestering carbon into the ground and reducing this essential compound to zero. Certain eras in the GTS show that this is a path toward devastation and the destruction of multiple species over time.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><font size="4">Geological time scale shows cascade of extinctions following CO2 drops</font></h2>
<p>The geological time scale (GTS) is a historic time scale based on the Earth’s rock record. It classifies eras throughout the Earth’s history spanning hundreds of millions of years. The GTS is a chronological dating system that relies on chronostratigraphic (the study of how strata relate to time) as well as geochronological (a scientific field of study that focuses on determining the age of rock). It’s primarily used by earth scientists (e.g., geologist, paleontologist, geophysicist, geochemist, etc.) to explain the timing and relationship of events in geological history. The geological time scale has evolved over time by studying rock layers and their relationships, as well as identifying features like lithologies and paleomagnetic characteristics, as well as fossils.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span>During the Devonian Period, (around 400 million years ago) CO2 levels were over 2000 ppm. Compared to today’s records, CO2 concentrations were five times greater at this point in the geological time scale. Because of this </span><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://carbondioxide.news/">abundance in CO2, plants rapidly spread</a><span> across the land and rapidly diversified. Paleontologists refer to this time as the Devonian Explosion. As plant life multiplied, marine species also flourished, giving the Devonian period the nickname, the Age of Fishes. By the end of this era, the boom of photosynthesizing plants had reduced CO2 concentrations drastically, giving rise to a new era rich with atmospheric oxygen. Back then, atmospheric oxygen levels reached 35%, compared to today’s level of 21%. Amphibians that breathed oxygen through their skin were better adapted to this climate. Giant arthropods thrived during this time.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p>The following geological period is known as the Carboniferous. During this era, forests abounded with wetlands and Lycopod trees. The slow decomposition of these trees sequestered CO2 in the ground and created today’s coal deposits. The sequestration of carbon during this period drove atmospheric CO2 levels to 150 ppm, starving plant life across the lands. As CO2 levels fell around 305 million years ago, there was a "Carboniferous Rain Forest Collapse" and a mass die off of ocean algae known as the “Phytoplankton Blackout.” The ensuing period saw a serious collapse of plant and animal populations that disrupted the food web and threatened the adaptability of various species. Over the next period, scientists documented a series of drawn-out extinctions known as the “Dead Clades Walking.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>By the early Permian period (around 295 million years ago) the forest species and phytoplankton went through a mass die off, driving atmospheric oxygen levels down. The giant arthropods and primitive amphibians were no longer able to thrive, leading to their extinction. High altitude ecosystems, which depend on higher overall oxygen levels, became uninhabitable.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Consequentially, there were plant extinction rates greater than 60% and the extinction of Diadactes and Edaphosaurus, which were a plant-eating, reptile-like species. As the extinction events continued, Dimetrodon predator populations collapsed and up to 80% of all vertebrate genera died off. When phytoplankton populations died off, another 35-45% of marine invertebrate species went extinct. The “Dead Clades Walking” phenomenon really began with CO2 starvation and the collapse of the rain forest, phytoplankton and the Permian Period’s cascade of extinction events that saw 81% of remaining marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species go extinct. Historical CO2 records and corresponding mass extinctions help us realize that all efforts to reduce CO2 levels today are diabolical, with the intent to mar, destabilize and<span> </span><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://depopulation.news/">depopulate the planet</a>.</p> CIA Involved in J6 Capital Incident.tag:wethepeopleusa.ning.com,2024-03-14:2482704:Topic:3455082024-03-14T11:58:18.039ZVirginia Foulkhttps://wethepeopleusa.ning.com/profile/VirginiaFoulk

<p><span><em>The declining faith in the supernatural was accompanied by the rise of the monstrous totalitarian creeds of the 20th century."-</em>Arthur Schlesinger, among others.</span></p>
<p><span>The left-wing pressure groups have displaced the civic organizations that traditionally provided moral leadership and channeled citizens’ voices in opposition to governments’ abuses of power: churches. Since long before the American Republic was even founded, churches served vital civic functions without which the United States as we know it would never have come to exist and for which no substitute is possible.</span></p>
<p><span>Conservatives complain endlessly that the left-wing hates religion and seeks to have it <em>“banished from the public square.”</em> But it is religious leaders, conservative lobbies and law firms (ostensibly “Christian” or not), that pushed the churches out of active public engagement — or gave them the excuse to run away. </span></p>
<p><span>Unlike citizens and churches, whose interest lies in resolving public problems so they can return to the business of life (earning a living, spending time with the family, saving souls), operatives on left have a vested interest in perpetuating the problems they are paid to solve. This principle lies behind all our ills.</span></p>
<p class="yiv8724081552ydp6f55f1byiv1442713492ydpcbd1a75cyiv1505377556ydp4d85ed82yiv4609083520ydp59d18671yiv8364017434ydp9c4395a5yiv9896560180ydp592f8fe8yiv7842402900ydpba0a12d7yiv3662007128ydp4464a93bMsoNormal"><span>The Christian Religion - invaluable in America's founding, forming and flowering - deserves a place in our institutions. Indeed, it had that place for almost 200 years. The Bible is not about fact. It is about values. Christianity is in no way compelling anyone to do anything, let alone interdicting the will of the majority. If it does manage to persuade a majority of Americans, how is that different from any other group persuading a democratic majority? Under American concepts of political pluralism, it makes no difference from where what I believe comes. The legitimacy of any belief rests ultimately on its content, not on its origins. The pedigree of an opinion has little to nothing to do with its legitimacy as a contender for public opinion. Certainly when Christianity was the major force behind the <em>Civil Rights</em> movement and anti-war movements, the anti-religious had no qualms about employing it.</span></p>
<p class="yiv8724081552ydp6f55f1byiv1442713492ydpcbd1a75cyiv1505377556ydp4d85ed82yiv4609083520ydp59d18671yiv8364017434ydp9c4395a5yiv9896560180ydp592f8fe8yiv7842402900ydpba0a12d7yiv3662007128ydp4464a93bMsoNormal"><span>Mainline church leaders, knowingly or unknowingly, are consenting to the left-wing political contamination and destruction of the <em>Gospel</em>. Do they not see that what they are doing leads people away from God? People of faith who fail to question and resist the destruction of the <em>Word of God</em> for fear of being <em>“in the way of progress”</em> are in effect joining the blind march toward a world governed by the godless who, while many pose as sponsors of religion in the world, in reality hate God, hate family, ignore justice toward humanity, and in fact hate people, as their promotion of transhumanism indicates.</span></p>

But the promulgation and the acceptance of false Christian doctrine is in reality a rejection of Christ. Treachery against Christ is something that the Apostle Paul warned the first Christian bishop of Ephesus, Timothy. That most church leaders today are not following the teachings of Christ handed down to us by his disciples is plain evidence that they are in apostasy, meaning they in fact reject Christianity. To be unaware of this fact of faith or, worse, not care about it, is to be promoting the way of the godless instead of the way and the truth and the life embodied in Jesus Christ. No amount of <em>woke</em> whitewash can hide this turning away from the founder of Christianity and the Church.</span></p>

The report covered all kinds of violence over the last 6 years, including arson, bomb threats, vandalism and even shootings. Sadly, there is a clear pattern. These attacks are not isolated incidents, and they are happening with greater frequency every year. For example, there were 55 incidents of hostility toward churches in 2020.

There is a distinct rise in anti-religious <em>“Nones”</em> that seem to be in line with the number of LGBTQ+ identifications. According to a Pew Research study, 25% U.S. adults are either merely spiritual, agnostic, or atheistic.<em> NPR</em>, which ecstatically published these numbers, declared that nonreligious was most prevalent in American culture. This, however, isn’t true. If you combine the number of Catholics and Protestants alone, those numbers outpace the nonreligious pretty soundly. One can perhaps claim that Christians account for less than half of the religious makeup of the country, but declaring that the nonreligious have overtaken them is misleading.</span></p>

While this is not a perfect correlation, as there are gender-confused people who are religious and attend church, there is a growing number of poll respondents who link the 2 trends. Is there a worldview/religious correlation that might explain a link between LGBTQ+ identity and nonreligious association? Perhaps. Particularly when an LGBTQ+ person strongly adheres to the Gender Marxism branch of the LGBTQ+ wing. It can be said that once a person stumbles into the deeper and darker sides of sexual idolatry — the belief that sexual orientation, gender identity, and sexual gratification at all moral costs are the paramount parts of one’s existence — they have essentially declared themselves god and everyone else’s sense of right and wrong is just <em>“their bigoted point of view.”</em></span></p>

Those laws are <em>“endowed by the Creator.”</em> However, those who have abandoned that perspective tend to follow a morally relativistic perspective and are, therefore, more likely to not be religious. The moral relativism of this ilk shows up again and again in modern culture as our younger generations search for wisdom in the cacophony of warring worldviews.</span></p>

<div><span>A memo that circulated among the College of Cardinals excoriating Pope Francis’s pontificate and thoroughly analyzing its many failures, entitled <em>The Vatican Today. </em>That memo describes the pontificate as: “<em>a disaster in many or most respects; a catastrophe,” </em>and faulted Pope Francis for brokering bad deals with the Chinese communist Party, allowing the Catholic Church in Germany to run headlong towards heterodoxy and outright schism, damaging Rome’s credibility through a lack of transparency on issues from clerical sex abuse to financial crime and making the College of Cardinals increasingly irrelevant and even purposeless under the reign of the <em>"Dictator Pope".</em></span></div>
<p class="yiv9207969327ydp492e9189yiv9547048586ydp8edd7233yiv0967324016ydpe630b349yiv6610166435ydp4db2f106yiv9544934744ydp3c03673bMsoNormal"><span><em>A new memo begins by explaining that this analysis is: “intended to build on those original reflections...Conditions in the Church since that text appeared have not materially changed, much less improved."</em> While crediting Pope Francis for emphasizing<em>: “compassion toward the weak, outreach to the poor and marginalized, concern for the dignity of creation and the environmental issues that flow from it, and efforts to accompany the suffering and alienated in their burdens,” </em>it does not shy away from the Holy Father’s failures.<br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>The Francis pontificate is characterized by:<em> “an autocratic, at times seemingly vindictive, style of governance; a carelessness in matters of law; an intolerance for even respectful disagreement; and — most seriously — a pattern of ambiguity in matters of faith and morals causing confusion among the faithful...Confusion breeds division and conflict. It undermines confidence in the Word of God. It weakens evangelical witness. And the result today is a Church more fractured than at any time in her recent history.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/> The new memo notes areas in which Francis has weakened the Church and offers <em>“practical observations”</em> to undo the damage done.<em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>1st, the Pope is not intended to be a dictator. “Real authority is damaged by authoritarian means in its exercise. The Pope is a Successor of Peter and the guarantor of Church unity. But he is not an autocrat. He cannot change Church doctrine, and he must not invent or alter the Church’s discipline arbitrarily...the Pontiff “governs the Church collegially with his brother bishops in local dioceses...always in faithful continuity with the Word of God and Church teaching...New paradigms and ‘unexplored new paths’ that deviate from either are not of God. A new Pope must restore the hermeneutic of continuity in Catholic life and reassert Vatican II’s understanding of the papacy’s proper role.”</em><br clear="none"/><em><br clear="none"/></em>However: <em>“Just as the Church is not an autocracy, neither is she a democracy.”</em> Under the Francis Pontificate, democracy has nearly run rampant, with the most recent example being the German Church tiptoeing closer and closer to replacing the authority of local bishops with a <em>“Synodal Council,” </em>comprised of both clergy and laity. Although the Vatican has expressly forbidden the creation of any such body, Pope Francis and his curial advisors have indicated an openness to discussing the German bishops’ vision for an anti-clerical Church.<br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>Referring to the global Synod on Synodality, with its heterodox brainstorming amid so-called listening sessions, which prominently featured non- and ex-Catholics<em>: “The Church belongs to Jesus Christ. She is his Church. She is Christ’s Mystical Body, made up of many members. We have no authority to refashion her teachings to fit more comfortably with the world. Moreover, the Catholic sensus fidelium is not a matter of opinion surveys nor even the view of a baptized majority. It derives only from those who genuinely believe and actively practice, or at least sincerely seek to practice, the faith and teachings of the Church.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>Over the past decade, Pope Francis has garnered a reputation for ambiguity — a reputation no doubt solidified and immortalized by his disastrous decree <em>Fiducia Supplicans,</em> which claims to uphold the Church’s moral teachings on marriage and sexuality while simultaneously allowing and emboldening ideologically-motivated clerics to undermine that very teaching. <em>“Ambiguity is neither evangelical nor welcoming...Rather, it breeds doubt and feeds schismatic impulses. The Church is a community not just of Word and sacrament, but also of creed. What we believe helps to define and sustain us...doctrinal issues are not burdens imposed by unfeeling ‘doctors of the law.’ Nor are they cerebral sideshows to the Christian life. On the contrary, they’re vital to living a Christian life authentically, because they deal with applications of the truth, and the truth demands clarity, not ambivalent nuance.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>In addition to his administrative dictatorship — perhaps most clearly seen in his vengeful treatment of Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Joseph Strickland — Pope Francis has developed an <em>“excessive reliance on the motu proprio(1) as a tool for governance, often circumventing the necessity of adjusting of canon law...Canon law orders Church life, harmonizes its institutions and procedures, and guarantees the rights of believers.… Again, as with ambiguity of doctrine, disregard for canon law and proper canonical procedure undermines confidence in the purity of the Church’s mission.”</em> As the great G.K. Chesterton said: <em>“we do not want … a Church that will move with the world. We want a Church that will move the world.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>As to Francis Pontificate’s overemphasis on sociology and seeming engagement with secular standards of ethics<em>: “One of the key flaws in the current pontificate is its retreat from a convincing ‘theology of the body’ and its lack of a compelling Christian anthropology … precisely at a time when attacks on human nature and identity, from transgenderism to transhumanism, are mounting.”<br clear="none"/></em><br clear="none"/>As to the Pontiff’s frequent travel: <em>“it served a pastor like Pope John Paul II so well because of his unique personal gifts and the nature of the times, but the times have changed. The Church is in crisis, its financial institutions mired in scandal and sin, and the halls of the Vatican packed with self-serving career bureaucrats and closeted homosexuals. The Vatican itself urgently needs a renewal of its morale, a cleansing of its institutions, procedures, and personnel, and a thorough reform of its finances to prepare for a more challenging future...These are not small things. They demand the presence, direct attention, and personal engagement of any new Pope.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>In addition, the College of Cardinals has become increasingly irrelevant and even purposeless under the reign of this Pope. <em>“The College of Cardinals exists to provide senior counsel to the Pope and to elect his successor upon his death...That service requires men of clean character, strong theological formation, mature leadership experience, and personal holiness. It also requires a Pope willing to seek advice and then to listen.”</em> Pope Francis has placed a high premium on <em>“diversifying” </em>the College of Cardinals, selecting non-traditional and unexpected candidates over the past 10 years, and stacking the deck with his own allies, regardless of their moral, pastoral, or spiritual fitness for the role. A prime example would be San Diego’s Cardinal Robert McElroy, a heterodox bishop who has advanced homosexuality, an end to priestly celibacy, climate hysteria, and even tolerance for abortion. Furthermore, Pope Francis has not fostered the <em>“collegial” </em>dimension of the College of Cardinals, failing to summon the cardinals together in regular (mush less frequent) consistories, and often only listening to those he has placed in his own curial sphere, discarding the counsel and advice of cardinals who aren’t his favorite.<em> “If the college is to serve its purposes, the cardinals who inhabit it need more than a red zucchetto and a ring. Today’s College of Cardinals should be proactive about getting to know each other to better understand their particular views regarding the Church, their local church situations, and their personalities — which impact their consideration of the next pope.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>It’s no secret that Pope Francis’s health is failing, and has been for several years. The time is rapidly approaching when a new Pope will ascend to the <em>Chair of St. Peter</em>. Since Francis has effectively stacked the College of Cardinals with his own relatively inexperienced cohorts and proteges and blocked cardinals over the age of 80 from even participating in the preparatory debates and discussion preceding papal conclaves (cardinals of that age are already ineligible to vote in the conclave), the analysis, counsel, and advice of men like Cardinal Pell and his adherents seem ever more crucial to the future of the Catholic Church.<br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/> <em>“The concluding years of a pontificate, any pontificate, are a time to assess the condition of the Church in the present, and the needs of the Church and her faithful going forward...The task of the next pontificate must therefore be one of recovery and reestablishment of truths that have been slowly obscured or lost among many Christians.”</em><br clear="none"/><br clear="none"/>1. the papal equivalent of an American president’s executive orders.</span></p>
