More Pope Benedict & King Abdullah……

Published by N_Jones under Editorials

Since I posted about this the other day, I thought I’d post this piece The King, the Pope, And the Sword

It seems the sword given to the Pope by King Abdullah could have some significance.

The King, the Pope, And the Sword

By YOUSSEF IBRAHIM
November 8, 2007

Saudi Arabia’s king visited the pope at the Vatican this week, and the leader of Catholicism expressed grief over the draconian discrimination experienced by Christian minorities in some Muslim lands.

During the unprecedented and historic encounter, Benedict XVI gave the Saudi monarch an old painting of the Vatican. The king’s gift to the pontiff: a sword.

As a gift from from a leading Islamic fundamentalist nation, a sword is about as clear a symbol of intolerance as there can be; and indeed, swords are used for public decapitations in Saudi Arabia on Fridays. The U.S. State Department’s yearly human rights report cites Saudi Arabia for bigotry toward non-Muslims, including “harassment, abuse, and even killings at the hands of the Muttawa (religious police).”

Yellowstone on the rise….

Published by N_Jones under Science

This has really been going on for a couple of years now. They have had some of the park specifically in the Norris Basin region of the park shut down for a while with ground temps around 200 degrees F. Anyway this could be a significant event should something actually happen……

U. scientists say Yellowstone caldera may be filling with magma

The floor of the Yellowstone caldera has risen at a rate faster than has ever been observed before, according to a new study that gives further proof that “ground deformation” at the park resembles the gently heaving chest of a slumbering giant.

The likely cause of the uplift is a volcanic intrusion of molten rock that has moved upward 50 to 60 miles and flattened into a pancake the size of Los Angeles a few miles below the surface, according to a study to be published Friday by University of Utah scientists.

Pope meets King…..

Published by N_Jones under Editorials

I know that Charles at LGF posted this already but I thought I’d post as well. I think this could be important. Pope Benedict has been backtracing ever since he linked violence with Islam last year in a sermon.

I also have some notions about this as well….. check out my assessment of Nostradamus’ Century 1 Quatrain 4. I know most of you have no use for a 16th century prophet or conspiracies but…..

Big Chunk Of The Universe Is Missing — Again

ScienceDaily (Nov. 5, 2007) — Not only has a large chunk of the universe thought to have been found in 2002 apparently gone missing again but it is taking some friends with it, according to new research at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The new calculations might leave the mass of the universe as much as ten to 20 percent lighter than previously calculated.

Another attack on Santa…..

Published by N_Jones under Editorials

After trying unsuccessfully so far to stop Christmas, now they (the Politically Correct Crowd) are after Santa. As my friend Mike said this morning….. “The PC world has finally jumped the shark.” Of course this is happening in London, how long before “they” try that in the USA.

Santa told to slim down for Christmas to ’set a good example’

Santa is being told to shift the pounds before Christmas - because the obese saint is failing to set a “good example” for children.

The traditional children’s hero, best known for feasting on mince pies left out on Christmas eve, has always sported a bulging midriff.

But shopping centre bosses are giving the well-wisher his marching orders - to the nearest gym - to tackle the increasing problem of obesity.

The revelation comes after a medical report earlier this month stated that by 2050 more than 50 per cent of Brits will be obese.
