As Predicted In Petrus Romanus: Israel-Vatican Deal Is Imminent

POPE FRANCIS WITH SHIMON PERES


Deputy Foreign Minister Ze’ev Elkin was in for high-level negotiations with Vatican officials over several outstanding land and building issues revolving around properties owned by the Holy See in . Elkin visited the Holy See to continue decades-long talks on a comprehensive land deal between Israel and the Vatican, Maariv reported Thursday. Elkin told the Hebrew daily that, after meeting with the Vatican negotiating team and then separately with Pope Francis I, he thought an agreement would be signed by the end of the year, which would pave the way for the new pope’s promised visit to the Holy Land. Elkin’s meetings Wednesday were the first such negotiations in two years. The two main points of discussion revolved around Vatican requests to build two new centers in Israel.

 

Here It Comes – Pope Francis Romanus To Organize “Peace Meeting” Between World’s Three Major Religions, In Rome
Israeli government sources claim Francis is apparently thinking of calling a meeting between leaders and faithful of the world’s three biggest monotheistic religions, in Rome, to launch a message of peace, countering violence and the use of God’s name to justify hatred and terrorist acts. The sources say the Pope announced his intention to call a meeting, during an Audience last 30 April. According to the information contained in a summary of the Audience received by the Israeli government, Francis told Peres he “whole-heartedly supported” his appeal against violence and that “he wanted to promote a meeting between religious leaders and faithful of the three major religions” founded by Abraham, “in Rome”. The aim would be to “make people see” that the religions “oppose violence and terrorism.”

Food price crisis ahead

A very disturbing news today has come to light in this week concludes. And is that while in this space we have talked a lot about the value of gold and silver, as tools of financial protection against crises, there is something much more important for the existence of mankind: food.

Food prices are rising again according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, global Food Price Index. That’s being blamed on government export restrictions, a weakening United States dollar and a growing appetite by speculators and index funds for wider commodity portfolio investments.

Futurist Peter Schwartz warns that we have become so obsessed with the global financial crisis that we have ignored the prospect of a food price crisis. Schwartz says people now spend about about 15-25% of their income on food. But with rising food prices, they could end up spending as much as 50% of their budgets on foods, which means less money for other items such as clothing and vacations. And the problem, he says, is not food shortages but speculation by investors looking for commodities. Once it was oil, now it’s food.

To prepare for this, he says, we need to start thinking the unthinkable. Which may be easier said than done.

Well they say that everything around you get used to not eating less. hence the relevance of what today we reported the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture, FAO, with the help of the Organization for Cooperation and Development, as has been reported that during the next ten years, global agricultural production will grow at a very low average of 1.5%,  much slower than the 2.1% growth the previous ten years.
This means a big problem, because the planet’s growing population requires more and more food, and scarcity increases.
Among the causes of this decline in agricultural expansion are the limited agricultural land expansion, rising production costs, scarcity of resources and environmental pressures and climate.
We must not overlook the fact that usually these organisms are usually optimistic about the results expected, so in fact, we see this announcement as a prelude to what could become a new global food crisis .
Of course, the reduced availability of food can only mean that their prices will continue shooting in the future medium and long term. Something the prophets of disaster for the raw material prices, they should consider. His bull market, despite the low is not over.
According to the Index of Food Prices FAO itself, 2011 is still the year that historically, these were the highest on record, and even seemed to lose pressure last year, it is also true that from June 2012 that trend reversed again, and it’s about time for us to meet the high levels of two years ago.
Therefore, many believe that the use of field resources to replace fossil fuels through biofuels called, is a measure that may bring more harm than good.
Assume that you want to help the environment by reducing pollution also a renewable resource, and that is fine, but products like corn that could be used to eating well end up being burned as fuel in cars, for example. Convert to smoke that could nourish thousands or millions of people, not a good idea.
They should look for better alternatives in this area.
Yet. In and we know very well the story of what happens when a commodity like the egg or the chicken scarce, so from the government should provide that we are not going to take you by surprise here anticipate this crisis.
We can not ignore the fact that our country has to import of basic food from other countries, because we are not self-sufficient.
This though is not bad in itself, it is risky, it is certain that other nations prefer to feed themselves before they sell us what we needed, and if they do, it will be at a cost that will be accessible to very few.
A focus of attention now that the president, Enrique Peña Nieto, has put as a priority of his administration to end hunger in the country.
 
With such low production, poor harvest any reason whatsoever, it becomes dangerous.
It will then understand that food sovereignty is a matter of national security. Hunger is capable of generating social instability and even revolutions, in extreme cases hopefully never arise.

Now, not all are bad omens.
High prices also mean good opportunities for farmers, who can greatly benefit from their companies.
That is why the modernization incentives, production and investment in the field are more urgent than ever, in truly free market, in which respect for individual property rights.
Perhaps we are still in time to mitigate the effects of the upcoming food crisis, but we must put and get to work.

Pope Emeritus Benedict appears ‘half his previous size’ relieved to no longer have the weight of the Church’ on him

Pope Emeritus has lost so much weight in the last few weeks that he appears to have shrunk to “half his previous size,” according to a German cardinal who visited him.

Joachim Meisner, the Archbishop of Cologne, was shocked at how Benedict’s state of health had deteriorated, saying he appeared to have physically shrunk.

Cardinal Meisner went to see Benedict on March 18, the day before Pope Francis was inaugurated as his successor.

At the time Benedict was living in , the papal summer residence outside Rome, having resigned from the Seat of St Peter on February 28.Pope Benedict XVI walks away for the last time as head of the Catholic Church on Feb. 28, 2013 in Rome, Italy.

“I was shocked at how thin he had become,” Cardinal Meisner told the German Catholic News Agency (KNA).

Pope Emeritus Benedict ‘relieved to no longer have the weight of the Church’ on him, brother says

— The former Pontiff, Pope Emeritus Benedict, is “relieved” to be free of the responsibility of running the Catholic Church, his elder brother has said, but he insisted that Benedict was not suffering from illness.

Father Georg Ratzinger, himself a priest, told The Daily Telegraph his younger brother was “very happy” to be living at Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer retreat south of Rome that he moved to after stepping down in February, becoming the first pope to resign in 600 years. Fr. Ratzinger, 88, who travelled from Germany to celebrate Benedict’s 86th birthday on April 16, said his brother “still suffers the problems of the Church, but is really relieved to no longer have the weight of the Church on his shoulders”.

Speaking by telephone from his house in , Mr Ratzinger denied the pope emeritus was suffering from major ailments. “He is now very old, he does not have any particular illness, but he is weakening due to his age,” he said.

Pope Benedict cited advancing age when he announced his resignation amid reports that his hearing and sight were failing. It also emerged he had a pacemaker fitted a decade ago.

Peter Seewald, a German journalist said he had never seen Benedict look “so worn down” after a recent meeting.

What if television news disappeared and we invented ourselves?

This article is dedicated to Bonnie Lange, my dear friend and publisher, who passed away last week. Bonnie was an unbound creative spirit who lived her life as a titanic vision. Leaving her physical form behind, she expands her vision, her life, her work, her ever-present joy. Much love, my friend…

NBC News is in the process of appointing a new chief. The purpose? To rearrange what is already false reality, to make it more interesting and dramatic.

The are grasping at straws. Their ratings reflect a continuing audience exodus.

I once wrote that, if tomorrow the top news anchors admitted they were drag queens, the whole country would immediately collapse. That’s how fragile America actually is.

I’ve updated that comment, because the is now so tolerant the top anchors could come out as collies or toasters and everyone would feel compelled to consider the revelation with warm regard.

So here is the new formulation: If tomorrow, television news disappeared completely, the human mind would lose its mirror and chaos would ensue.

The minds of most viewers lack context, are satisfied with cartoons of reality, yearn for authorities, and will accept any version of “being informed.”

This is what the news is all about. The superficial mind clings to the news as a representation of what the mind is.

Take away that mirror and millions of people would enter a highly disturbing void, an absence, a vacuum.

It would be quite interesting.

Some people would realize the degree to which they demand to be told what to think, what to see, what to assume. Others would simply spin into a deep confusion.

At bottom, most minds want to know what exists, even if the portrait is a total lie. A lie is better than nothing. “Give me something, anything.”

That morbid desire is in direct proportion to the absence of any ambition to create reality on one’s own.

Every psyop since the dawn of time is based on, and works because of, the individual’s refusal to create his own reality.

This refusal is, in turn, the cornerstone of highly organized, layered, hierarchical, top-down societies.

These societies generate majestic deceptions, enemies, wars, and huge disparities between the haves and the have-nots. History reveals many elements of progress, but it doesn’t show a solution to these chronic injustices.

To put it another way, the solutions will not appear, in the long run, until millions of people do, in fact, create their own realities.

And that capacity to create requires a revolution at the deepest possible level.

Most people don’t even understand what it means, and/or won’t admit it’s possible.

They would rather rearrange deck chairs on a sinking ship:

“Give me THESE liars as leaders (creators of mass reality), and if you won’t do that, give me THOSE liars as leaders…”

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the last newscast anywhere. Good night and good luck.” Blackout.

If government’s media mouthpiece were gone, people would be forced to make up their own minds about government. And eventually, they would. And it wouldn’t be a happy moment, for government.

Unsurprisingly, the first “newspapers,” in ancient China, Egypt, and , were government-issued bulletins. They were decrees, commands, and announcements.

They were deployed to control citizens’ actions and paint an official picture of reality.

At some point, leaders recognized that, with the expansion of individual freedom, more subtle methods for control and “guided perception” were necessary. Hence, modern media.

For this to work, reporters had to be elevated to privileged status. They were now town criers dressed to kill.

“Owing to excessive propaganda, lies, and style masquerading as substance, all news is canceled.” That would be a kind of forced declaration of independence.

huge eruption Italy Etna spews ash again, angering mayors

Officials want state of emergency after 13th eruption this year

Etna spews ash again, angering mayors

Catania, April 4 – Etna has roared and spewed ash for the 13th time this year, spurring the mayors of the towns in its lee to call for “urgent” government action. “A few snowflakes in Rome get everyone going while we’ve been having to put up with these ash showers for years,” said Santa Venerina Mayor Enrico Pappalardo. The latest eruption again caused window panes to rattle, made breathing difficult, blocked manholes and hurt crops in and around the dozen towns under Europe’s tallest active volcano. “We want a state of emergency to be declared,” said the mayors in a joint statement. Etna burst back into life Wednesday afternoon but calmed down early Thursday, scientists at the National Institute of Geophysics Volcanology (INGV) in the nearby Sicilian city of Catania said. “The intense Strombolian activity from the south-east crater, with thunderous noise and the launch of pyroclastic material which fell back into the cone of the volcano, lasted from late afternoon Wednesday until 06:35 Thursday,” the INGV said. “Tremors in the internal conduits, which indicate magma rising, have returned to normal”. Etna saw nine “eruptive events” last year. Its last full-blown eruption came a year ago when it belched out a plume of smoke that caused the temporary closure of Catania Airport. Scientists at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology recorded 18 eruptions of Etna in 2011.
