As the French byword goes, Un homme averti en vaut deux... Besides, I'm mulling over the next Pope... As you know, my opinion is that Mgr Jean-Marie Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris, will be next. However, I haven't, so far, backed it up with any clues whatsoever. Well, no longer: Some Vatican pundits used to hype up the election of an African pope --because of the Church's strong appeal to Africa and the fact that its most vibrant constituency belongs to the Third World. Just don't bet on it though: the love affair of Zambia's archbishop, Mgr Emmanuel Milingo, has actually spoiled Africa's last chances in the next papal bid. People will say, oh, come now! Those Africans are not reliable... look at that Zambian quack: his wedlock ridiculed the whole Church! Exit the African papabile. news.bbc.co.uk Who's next? Maybe another Polish/East European eminence might fit the bill? Fat chance: Pope may sack Polish prelate in sex scandal By Matthew Day in Warsaw THE Pope was yesterday considering the future of the Archbishop of Poznan, one of Poland's most senior Roman Catholics, after allegations that he molested young clerics in his diocese. A Vatican inquiry has been launched into claims that Archbishop Juliusz Paetz used a tunnel between his palace and a seminary to reach trainee priests. In a letter to Poznan's senior clerics, Archbishop Paetz said: "I have never molested, I repeat, never molested any of our seminarians and priests." The accusations became public in a story headlined "Sin at the archbishop's palace" and published in Rzeczpospolita, a leading Polish newspaper. Rumours about the archbishop's sexual orientation and conduct had been circulating in Church and intellectual groups in Poznan for at least two years. Church groups, backed by Catholic intellectuals, had campaigned discreetly to force the archbishop to resign. He refused. [...] telegraph.co.uk Okay then, everything seems to be conspiring to bring Mgr Lustiger in the big chair... but he's Jewish and most voting Cardinals are a rather reactionary lot --the most anti-Semitic among them must be plotting against him, to be sure. Indeed, and that's why the timing of the whole thing is important: as months and years pass, the older Cardinals --ie those whose anti-Semitism is strongest-- are gently reaching the age limit beyond which they're no longer electors... Fascinating, isn't it? ireland.com And, last but not least, there's the relentless media campaign about Pope Pius XII's doubtful attitude towards Nazism and the persecution of Jews --think of Costa-Gavras' last movie Amen.

new info on 911: enterprisemission.com --A little reported story surfaced after the attacks, of some astonishing electronic data collected by a research team at Princeton University on something called the “Global Consciousness Project.” In short, this is a project consisting of 38 random number generators (RNGs) located around the world, communicating their second-by-second random number data via the Internet back to a central computer located at Princeton University. The team discovered, on checking their data for September 11th, that there was a stunning decrease in randomness –- a literal non-random “spike” in their previously random numbers -- beginning a few hours before the tragic events at the WTC and extending several hours after. This completely world-wide occurrence showed unequivocally that there was indeed a “confluence of events,” or some sort of “spike,” in the background entropic noise of “reality” … a dramatic change that remarkably occurred precisely around the attacks. The phenomenon is flatly inexplicable by any “conventional” science.--

Re: that's a strong prediction... And that's a strong warning (by the Judeofascists): Car Bomb Kills Eight Near U.S. Embassy in Lima Thu Mar 21, 2:35 AM ET By Missy Ryan LIMA, Peru (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed and dozens injured when a powerful car bomb exploded on Wednesday across the street from the U.S. Embassy in Lima three days before a visit by President Bush, authorities said. It was not immediately known who planted the bomb, which exploded around 10:45 p.m. (10:45 p.m. EST), recalling scenes of carnage from more than a decade ago when Peru was gripped by leftist rebel violence. The blast was so powerful the body of one victim was blown around 165 feet across a dual carriageway separating the scene of the explosion from the embassy, witnesses said. Police were examining the body, which had a leg and clothes blown off. Part of a car engine lay nearby. Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, speaking to RPP radio shortly after arriving in Monterrey, Mexico, for a U.N. development summit, condemned the attack and guaranteed full safety for Bush's 17-hour visit this weekend.
