Father Fessio once discontinued his relationship with the magazine, 30 Days because he felt the anti-war stance of the magazine and its focus on Freemasonry were not things that the average American would care about. Of course, considering the Church's long-standing Magisterial teachings against Freemasonry, and the prevalence and perniciousness of it in the US, you'd think that Father Fessio would take up the sword of 19th Century Ultramontane Jesuits against that scourge, right? Well, no. Father Fessio didn't see it that way. Very suspicious indeed. So now, Father Fessio is going to step in and defend Cardinal Schönborn, here....

The case for a billion dollars, or the most secret operation "Mossad" Cold and overcast in Boston turned out to be the end of August last year. But neither the drizzling rain, biting wind could not stop the stream of people, flock to the National Library, to say goodbye to the oldest American politician of 77 years of Edward Moore Kennedy. Slowly the endless crowd flowed past the coffin with the body of the late senator. And among the thousands of sad people, even the most insightful journalists hardly noticed the very elderly Jewish couple, slowly past the coffin past....

On December 5, 2008, we said: "Questions have been raised as to whether Chief Justice John Roberts could administer the oath of office to a man who he believes may not be entitled. Chief Justice John G. Roberts will have to KNOW that Barack Hussein Obama II is eligible to 'enter on the execution of his office,' before he administers the Inaugural Oath of Office.'"

I don't claim to be a prophet, but I do try to pay attention to things and connect the dots. Many times, this gets me in trouble as I see things coming that are beyond the horizon of folks who are not trying to pay attention and blissfully unaware of the dots scattered all around their feet. They just write me off as a nut or a bore or both when I sound off these warnings. Later, when what I warned about goes down, they are panicked and act all surprised and get upset. Most of them don't remember that...

Opus Dei, the Da Vinci Code and ODAN For those of us who have witnessed firsthand Opus Dei’s deceptive and manipulative practices, it has not been easy watching Opus Dei stage a large public relations campaign in order to dispel the image the book ‘The DaVinci Code” has projected about them. It is equally hard to watch Opus Dei not be honest about their questionable practices. An inaccurate explanation of what exists within Opus Dei is being projected through their public statements and media appearances. The timing of their response to the movie appears highly choreographed and feels more like...

9/11 ATTACKS Avoiding the hard questions I was 8 years old when President John Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas in 1963. If grace favors me, I'll be 62 when documents related to the assassination are released to the public, and 84 when the Warren Commission's investigative files into the tragedy are finally opened.That's a long time to wait for a chance to evaluate the purported truth.It's a blot on the presumed sophistication of the people of the United States that any aspect of an event so dramatic and shocking should be kept from us. Perhaps it's true, to...
