Christians Kept Alive To Harvest Organs — We posted a story a story about how Planned Parenthood was found to have been keeping aborted babies alive long enough to harvest their organs.
The depravity is world-wide.
On Feb. 5, the Wall Street Journalreported that Chinese prisoners — including prisoners of conscience such as Falun Gong members, Uighur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists and “underground” Christians — have been apparently been subjected to medical experiments and forced removal of organs.
The author of the piece, Benedict Rogers, notes that China claims that there are 6,000 official organ donors but one hospital alone –Tianjin First Center — performs 6,000 transplants a year.
The Journal says that there are 711 other hospitals that perform organ transplants.
The US performs 40,000 transplants annually. It is believed that China will surpass that next year.
“Death-row inmates cannot account for all of these,” Rogers wrote. “China executes more people than the rest of the world combined, but still only about a few thousand a year.”
Rogers said that Chinese-speaking researchers in 2016 posed as organ buyers and directly asked if organs from Falun Gong practitioners could be arranged for transplant.
“Hospitals throughout China confirmed they had such organs available, no problem,” he wrote.
Mmany of the customers for these organs are foreigners. Yes, including Americans.

Homosexual Culture Caused Catholic Scandal Says Cardinal — Cardinal Raymond Burke, who is Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome, has finally and courageously stated the reason for the sickness that has been revealed in the Catholic Church: homosexual culture.
“Now it seems clear in light of these recent terrible scandals that indeed there is a homosexual culture, not only among the clergy but even within the hierarchy, which needs to be purified at the root,” he said.
Only about 5 percent of the scandal involved pedophilia according to studies. About 80 percent involves sex with postpubescent males.
“It’s been a homosexual scandal all along,” he said.
He’s right of course. The clergy who have done these twisted things obviously don’t believe what they have been ordained to teach and pastor.
The big question is how did they obtain their positions. The why is easy to answer as wolves find it advantageous to dress as sheepdogs.

Bullies Shut Bloomsburg Bridal Boutique — H8ers gonna H8. Carla Daddesi has told us that W. W. Bridal Boutique of Bloomsburg, Pa is closing March 30.
The family business was run by a Christian couple who gently declined to sell a lesbian couple two white bridal dresses in 2014. Well, you know the H8 started. The well-respected business was subject to vicious attacks on social media and an organized boycott.
It was too much and now they’re shutting down after 22 years, putting seven people out of work. You think that’s justice? Some do but nobody decent.
Hey Scott Wagner, if you get elected governor will you defend small businesses like this? LOL.
Here is Carla’s YouTube video. Watch it quick. You never know when the H8ers are going to get it taken down.
If you are a decent person it will make your blood boil about what happened to W.W. Bridal.
Fake News Pope Francis Donald Trump –Some don’t take us seriously when we point out that Pope Francis and Donald Trump have a lot more in common than is usually thought.
“. . .when we yield to our own pride and selfishness, we can also distort the way we use our ability to communicate,” Francis said. “This can be seen from the earliest times, in the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and the Tower of Babel . The capacity to twist the truth is symptomatic of our condition, both as individuals and communities.”
Note this was one week after a certain other world leader gave out awards for “fake news”.
Francis defined “fake news” as “the spreading of disinformationon line or in the traditional media.”
“It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader,” he said. “Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.”
So how do we defend ourselves?
“The most radical antidote to the virus of falsehood is purification by the truth,” Francis said.
He noted that “The truth is not just bringing to light things that are concealed, “revealing reality”, as the ancient Greek term aletheia (from a-lethès, “not hidden”) might lead us to believe (but) involves our whole life. ”
He said “Truth is something you can lean on, so as not to fall. In this relational sense, the only truly reliable and trustworthy One – the One on whom we can count – is the living God. Hence, Jesus can say: ‘I am the truth’. We discover and rediscover the truth when we experience it within ourselves in the loyalty and trustworthiness of the One who loves us. This alone can liberate us: ‘The truth will set you free'”.
He advocated that all participate in a “journalism of peace”.
“By that, I do not mean the saccharine kind of journalism that refuses to acknowledge the existence of serious problems or smacks of sentimentalism,” he said. “On the contrary, I mean a journalism that is truthful and opposed to falsehoods, rhetorical slogans, and sensational headlines. A journalism created by people for people, one that is at the service of all, especially those – and they are the majority in our world – who have no voice. A journalism less concentrated on breaking news than on exploring the underlying causes of conflicts, in order to promote deeper understanding and contribute to their resolution by setting in place virtuous processes. A journalism committed to pointing out alternatives to the escalation of shouting matches and verbal violence.”
Great minds think alike.
So American journalists, this means when you learned powerful forces in federal law enforcement are conspiring with one candidate to win an election, you report it. And not just report it, report it with appropriate outrage.
This means when rich connected types are forcing those without much disposable income to pay for their lifestyles, you, well “afflict the comfortable” even if you had been led to believe they are part of a “progressive” future.
