LAST POPE COMING UP!


Many of you probably already know this but according to a famous Catholic prophet of the 12th century, the next pope will be the very last one. He will be the anti-Christ pope when Jesus returns. Here's the info on all the popes including the "last one" [according to the prophesy] who will be elected in Rome somewhere around March 1, 2013.

Prophecys about popes by saint Malachy in 12th century.... 
The prophecy was first published in 1595 by Arnold de Wyon, a Benedictine historian, as part of his book Lignum Vitæ.  Wyon attributed the list to Saint Malachy, the 12th‑century bishop of Armagh in Ireland. According to the traditional account, in 1139, Malachy was summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent II. While in Rome, Malachy purportedly experienced a vision of future popes, which he recorded as a sequence of cryptic phrases. This manuscript was then deposited in the Roman Archive, and thereafter forgotten about until its rediscovery in 1590.
On the other hand, Bernard of Clairvaux's biography of Malachy makes no mention of the prophecy, nor is it mentioned in any record prior to its 1595 publication.[1] Some sources, including the most recent editions of the Catholic Encyclopedia, suggest that the prophecy is a late 16th‑century forgery. Some have suggested that it was created by Nostradamus and was credited to Saint Malachy so the purported seer would not be blamed for the destruction of the papacy. Supporters, such as author John Hogue, who wrote a popular book titled The Last Pope about the claims, generally argue that, even if the author of the prophecies is uncertain, the predictions are still valid.

Interpretation

Interpretation of the mottos has generally relied on finding correspondences between the mottos and the popes' birthplaces, their personal arms, and the events of their pontificates. For example, the first motto, Ex castro Tiberis (From a castle on the Tiber), fits Pope Celestine II's birthplace in Città di Castello, on the Tiber.
Pope Clement XIII, referred to in the prophecy as Rosa Umbriae, the rose of Umbria, is stated to have used a rose "as his personal emblem" (his coat of arms does not include one, however, nor was he from Umbria nor had any but the most marginal connection with the region, having been briefly pontifical governor of Rieti, at the time part of Umbria). The technique of word play was evident in instances where interpreters find a phrase fitting more than one explanation.
It is notable that where the interpretation of the prophecy is clear (as is the case for almost all of the Popes prior to 1590), the reference is almost always to some characteristic possessed by the Pope prior to assuming the Papacy—e.g., his birthplace, his arms, his surname, or his cardinal see. However, for more recent Popes, efforts to connect the prophecy with the pope have often focused on the events of his pontificate.
In recent times, some interpreters of prophetic literature have drawn attention to the prophecies, both because of their success in finding connections between the prophecies and recent popes, and because of the prophecies' imminent conclusion. Interpretations made before the elections of recent popes have not generally predicted their papacies accurately.

Popes and corresponding mottos

This list, adapted from The Prophecies of St. Malachy by Peter Bander, begins its numbering two numbers ahead of the Vatican's numbering of popes (Benedict XVI is the 265th, not the 267th). The reason for this is unclear (perhaps because of the two purported "anti-popes").
The list can be divided into two groups; one of the 74 Popes and Antipopes who reigned prior to the appearance of the Prophecy in 1590, for whom the connection between the motto and the Pope is usually clear but can be seen as postdiction. The other is of the 38 Popes who have reigned since 1590, for whom the connection between the motto and the Pope is often strained or totally opaque and could be viewed as shoehorning

Fort Hood Hero Says Obama ‘Betrayed’ Her and Other Victims


Fort Hood Hero Says Obama ‘Betrayed’ Her and Other Victims

Another broken Obama promise?
"Not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of… in fact they've been neglected."

First Lady Michelle Obama with Kimberly Munley of Killeen, TX and Mark Todd of Killen, TX on Capitol Hill
in Washington on Jan. 27, 2010 prior to Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

By NED BERKOWITZ and BRIAN ROSS
Feb. 12, 2013
Three years after the White House arranged a hero's welcome at the State of the Union address for the Fort Hood police sergeant and her partner who stopped the deadly shooting there, Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of.
"Betrayed is a good word," former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in a tearful interview to be broadcast tonight on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline."
"Not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of," she said. "In fact they've been neglected."
There was no immediate comment from the White House about Munley's allegations.
Thirteen people were killed, including a pregnant soldier, and 32 others shot in the November 2009 rampage by the accused shooter, Major Nidal Hasan, who now awaits a military trial on charges of premeditated murder and attempted murder.
Tonight's broadcast report also includes dramatic new video, obtained by ABC News, taken in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, capturing the chaos and terror of the day.
Munley, since laid off from her job with the base's civilian police force, was shot three times as she and her partner, Sgt. Mark Todd, confronted Hasan, who witnesses said had shouted "Allah’u’Akbar" as he opened fire on soldiers being processed for deployment to Afghanistan.
As Munley lay wounded, Todd fired the five bullets credited with bringing Hasan down.
Despite extensive evidence that Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack, the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as "workplace violence" instead of "combat related" or terrorism.
Al-Awlaki has since been killed in a U.S. drone attack in Yemen, in what was termed a major victory in the U.S. efforts against al Qaeda.
Munley and dozens of other victims have now filed a lawsuit against the military alleging the "workplace violence" designation means the Fort Hood victims are receiving lower priority access to medical care as veterans, and a loss of financial benefits available to those who injuries are classified as "combat related."
Some of the victims "had to find civilian doctors to get proper medical treatment" and the military has not assigned liaison officers to help them coordinate their recovery, said the group's lawyer, Reed Rubinstein.
"There's a substantial number of very serious, crippling cases of post-traumatic stress disorder exacerbated, frankly, by what the Army and the Defense Department did in this case," said Rubinstein. "We have a couple of cases in which the soldiers' command accused the soldiers of malingering, and would say things to them that Fort Hood really wasn't so bad, it wasn't combat."
A spokesperson for the Army said its policy is not to comment on pending litigation, but that it is "not true" any of the military victims have been neglected and that it has no control over the guidelines of the Veterans Administration.
Secretary of the Army John McHugh told ABC News he was unaware of any specific complaints from the Fort Hood victims, even though he is a named defendant in the lawsuit filed last November which specifically details the plight of many of them.
"If a soldier feels ignored, then we need to know about it on a case by case basis," McHugh told ABC News. "It is not our intent to have two levels of care for people who are wounded by whatever means in uniform."
Some of the victims in the lawsuit believe the Army Secretary and others are purposely ignoring their cases out of political correctness.
"These guys play stupid every time they're asked a question about it, they pretend like they have no clue," said Shawn Manning, who was shot six times that day at Fort Hood. Two of the bullets remain in his leg and spine, he said.
"It was no different than an insurgent in Iraq or Afghanistan trying to kill us," said Manning, who was twice deployed to Iraq and had to retire from the military because of his injuries.
An Army review board initially classified Manning's injuries as "combat related," but that finding was later overruled by higher-ups in the Army.
Manning says the "workplace violence" designation has cost him almost $70,000 in benefits that would have been available if his injuries were classified as "combat related."
"Basically, they're treating us like I was downtown and I got hit by a car," he told ABC News.
For Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot seven times at Fort Hood and blinded in one eye, the military's treatment is deeply hurtful.
"It's a slap in the face, not only for me but for all of the 32 that wore the uniform that day," he told ABC News.
Lunsford's medical records show his injuries were determined to be "in the line of duty" but neither he nor any of the other soldiers shot or killed at Fort Hood is eligible for the Purple Heart under the Department of Defense's current policy for decorations and awards.
Army Secretary McHugh says awarding Purple Hearts could adversely affect the trial of Major Hasan.
"To award a Purple Heart, it has to be done by a foreign terrorist element," said McHugh. "So to declare that soldier a foreign terrorist, we are told, I'm not an attorney and I don't run the Justice Department, but we're told would have a profound effect on the ability to conduct the trial."
Members of Congress, including the chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, say they will introduce legislation to force the military and the Obama administration to give the wounded and dead the recognition and honors they deserve.
"It was clearly an act of terrorism that occurred that day, there's no question in my mind," McCaul told ABC News. "I think the victims should be treated as such."
Former Sgt. Munley says she now believes the White House used her for political advantage in arranging for her to sit next to Michelle Obama during the President's State of the Union address in 2010.
Munley says she has no hesitation now speaking out against the President or taking part in the lawsuit, because she wants to help the others who were shot that day and continue to suffer.
"We got tired of being neglected. So this was our last resort and I'm not ashamed of it a bit," she said.

Benjamin Fulford – Full Update – Tanks Sent Towards Beijing In Internal Chinese Rift, Pope Quits After Bush Confessions

Benjamin Fulford – Full Update – Tanks Sent Towards Beijing In Internal Chinese Rift, Pope Quits After Bush Confessions 
Posted on February 12, 2013 by lucas2012infos 

The Chinese New Year of the Snake has begun and the new regime will soon begin its work in earnest. The White Snake, symbolized by the White Dragon and representing the Life Force, will complete the subjugation of the Satanic black snake of death and destruction. The resignation of the serial child rapist pope maledict will mean the selection of a new Pope to be named Peter the Roman. He will be the last Roman pope because after him Christianity and Catholicism will no longer be a purely Roman institution.
The battle to take down Satanism also led to high tension in China. The severe power struggle between the Shanghai faction and the Communist Party Youth League factions that preceded the selection of the current government was so severe that at one point tanks were sent toward Beijing by the Shanghai faction, according to a Chinese government agent. The result is that many in China now feel a small war, most likely with Japan, is needed to restore government unity, he said.

The push towards war is also being promoted vigorously by the Sabbatean mafia through their corporate propaganda networks in Hong Kong and Tokyo. However, cooler heads at high levels in both Japan and China are working on a compromise that may lead to the independence of the Okinawan archipelago, according to Asian secret society sources. The same people are pushing for the governments of South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea and China to supply staff for a new regional organization.

In the US as well, a severe power struggle is underway that led to the overnight arrest, and subsequent release, of many high level CIA and pentagon staffers, according to a CIA source.

The British Monarchy, too, is the scene of high level struggle with the gnostic illuminati insisting that Prince Harry be made King, making England independent from “Satanic Roman bloodline rule” for the first time since 1066. The CIA also says the Queen will be abdicating the throne. Nonsense, says an MI5 agent, who says the Queen has no plans to resign and that the line of succession clearly goes from Her Majesty to Charles to William. What is clear is that there is going to be some serious underground tension in England over the coming weeks as the two factions duke it out.

The situation is replicated in the US too with Republicans of the old sort pitched against supporters of the Obama regime, a CIA source says. It was secret Obama backers who were arrested by FBI types, he says. The arrested people had their mobile phones confiscated and their contact lists taken down, according to the source. The arrested people, though, had high powered connections that got them released after one night in custody and all members of their network have been issued with new mobile phones. The gnostic illuminati, for their part, are still saying Obama will leave the White House “by helicopter hanging from his neck.” Clearly there will be a lot more infighting in the US too before the dust settles and a clear winner emerges.

The hacking of the Bush family’s private e-mails and home addresses as well as the widespread publication of paintings of Bush Jr. in the bathtub, meanwhile, is a visible sign of the Bush family’s fall from power within the military industrial complex. The Pope resigned because he has been fingered as a mastermind of 911, 311 and the wars in the Middle East by both George Bush Jr. and Tony Blair, according to P2 lodge sources.

The Rockefellers, now hiding out on an Island near Fiji, are leading the offensive against the Bushes, according to a Rockefeller source. The Rockefellers contacted this writer to say the 311 nuclear and tsunami terror attacks against Japan were directed against the “Rockefeller Island” of Japan by elements of the cabal in Europe. According to their version of the story, the Rockefellers were told in advance the attack would take place. A Rothschild family source did previously tell this writer that the 311 attacks were meant to force the evacuation of 40 million people from the greater Tokyo region into Korea. A new Rothschild controlled Asian financial center was then supposed to be set up in Pusan, South Korea. However, if the Rockefellers wish to portray themselves as victims they need to explain why they did not issue a public warning about the attacks and order evacuations before they took place.

In any case it is clear, just like the Chinese Zodiac predicts, this year will characterized by snakes fighting against each other.

If this is the case, then let us recall the legend of the White Dragon. The White Dragon started out as a white snake, according to the legend. It grew up into a horrific monster White Dragon until it was tamed by the Goddess Benten and turned into a protector of the weak and the innocent. This year the White Dragon will take on the black snake of Satanism and purge it from the military industrial complex of the West so that the West will become a benevolent entity devoted to helping the planet.

On a more concrete note, representatives of the British Commonwealth (2.5 billion people) and the Catholic Church (1.5 billion people) have agreed to cooperate with the Asian secret societies (3 billion people) to realize a campaign to end poverty, stop environmental destruction and create world peace. To this end, they are hoping to get financing backed by Chinese imperial gold and treasure.

The approaches by the Commonwealth and the Catholics need to be regarded cautiously because the CIA keeps repeating that an Empress Wu is now in China and that she controls all the rights to 85% of the world’s gold because she is heiress to the Qing dynasty. That is not true, according to my Chinese sources who say there is a Ming Empress and that talk of a Qing empress seems to be a scam by the cabal to replenish the gold vaults of the world’s central banks that have been replaced with tungsten.

In any case there is a legitimate male Qing heir, who is the grandson of the “last Emperor” Puyi.

This is what an MI5 source had to say about it: “In my view, to set up a world bank/currency you need to control all the gold, not just the existing BIS registered gold but the additional Asian gold. The Chinese gold MUST become part of the Cabal one world bank. To this end Cabal agencies are working, as in Mali, for FULL control. In the UK this is being coordinated by Sir John Scarlett who runs the Cabinet Office through Sir Jeremy Heywood. They were thwarted at the London Olympics and failed to destroy the City of London. This has put the EU Federal Bank plan back and they are trying to make up lost ground. Starting wars which are unwinnable (Africa, South Atlantic, Middle East) whilst cutting defense spending is one way of debilitating the UK.”

For similar reasons they are also behind all the ongoing attempts to start a war in Asia between Japan and China, he says.

In any case, the Vatican, the British Monarchy and the Rockefeller family have all contacted the White Dragon Society to ask its’ help in convincing the Chinese to give them gold. The gold of the world belongs to the people of the world. The White Dragon Society is only concerned with world peace and starting a campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.

The Dictator’s State of Tyranny Address


The Dictator’s State of Tyranny Address
http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/obama2.jpg
The National Patriot – by Craig Andersen
Tuesday night, ON LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY, the Dictator will deliver his State of Tyranny speech to his American subjects and to a joint session of the congress he fully intends to subvert.
We need to hear from the Great ENSLAVER on the birthday of the GREAT EMANCIPATOR like Lincoln needed to go to the theater.
There will be bowing and scraping, wild applause, cheering, head nodding and all other manner of ring and ass kissing throughout by the collective of elected socialists.
Among those in attendance will be a 4th grade girl from…
Newtown Connecticut.
No…She wasn’t even at the Sandy Hook School BUT…She did write a letter to Nancy Pelosi begging for government control of the people and the scrapping of the 2nd Amendment.
It was Rahm Emanuel who once, so famously said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”
“Never let a Crisis go to waste.”
The most important word, as it turns out, in that statement is…”a.”
“Never let A crisis go to waste.”
NOT…
“Never let ALL crisis go to waste.”
It’s important and, here’s why.
As the Droner in Chief delivers his Manifesto of State, LAUDING HIS DECREE that the 2ND Amendment should be infringed, siting in the audience will be a 4th grader and her mother from…Newtown Connecticut.
Just as the Great Infringer used kids as props when he signed his 23 Imperial Mandates, he will again use children as props during his State of Dictatorial Rule speech tomorrow night thus NOT letting A crisis go to waste.
HOWEVER…
Will the family of one, Brian Terry be in the audience as Border Agent Terry was indeed gunned down?
Nope.
Brian Terry was killed by someone using a fast and Furious weapon gratefully supplied to Mexican drug cartels by Obama and his henchman, Eric Holder and, the Gunrunner in Chief exerted Imperial Privilege to bury the facts behind it.
Ahhh…A crisis to be ignored.
Also in the audience, as His Arrogance speaks tomorrow evening will be none other than Mr. and Mrs Gabby Giffords to add insincerity to the pitch for control of the populous. Giffords, pictured having fun at a gun range, has now added her voice to the Dictator’s choir.
Giffords was shot by a deranged madman in a Tucson parking lot a couple of years ago. When the Dictator spoke at a memorial for those who lost their lives in Tucson, taking full advantage of the crisis, everyone in attendance received a free Obama T-Shirt for their attendance.
How nice…Another crisis not left to waste.
HOWEVER…
Will the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith or Tyrone Woods be in attendance???

Those, as we all know, are the 4 American’s murdered in Benghazi 5 months and 1 day previous to the Dictator’s State of Denial speech.
As the Poster Boy for Treason PROMISED that justice would be done he has, so far, locked up a You Tube filmmaker who had not a single thing to do with the attacks.
It took 3 weeks to get the FBI to Benghazi…some 18 days after reporters and who-knows-how-many-others had already combed through the burned out Consulate and apparently, while there, THEY failed to grab a strawberry frappe or they may well have run into one of the terrorist ringleaders. 
No…The families of the Benghazi 4 will NOT be in attendance, as THAT crisis is one currently engaged in a cover up.
In all…There will be 23 special guests invited by anointed socialists in congress in attendance for the expressed purpose of drawing attention to the Dictator’s desire to trash the 2nd Amendment.
One of them will be Cleoparta Pendleton, the mother of Hadiya Pendleton…The young girl cut down by a suspected gang pink just days after taking part in Obama’s 2nd Coronation. (The Sandy Hook event is already pretty much determined to have been fraud on a grand scale, a huge false flag staged presentation on behalf of gun control propaganda and mind control programming of the American public.)
The Dictator sent his wife to Miss Pendleton’s funeral just a couple of days ago and it was, of course, necessary to have the Queen accompanied and guarded at the services by her heavily armed Palace Guards.
HOWEVER…
Will the 14 year old boy from Phoenix who shot an armed home intruder, thus protecting his younger siblings, be at the speech on Tuesday?
How about Melinda Herman who was home with her 2 young children when someone broke into their home? She, with her husband coaching her over the phone, shot one of those intruders 5 times. Will Melinda and Donnie Herman be in attendance Tuesday evening?
And what of 12 year old Kendra St. Clair? Will Kendra, who was home alone when someone broke into her family’s home in Oklahoma?  Kendra called 911 and hid in the closet. Before police could arrive, 32 year old Stacey Jones was already in the house and, as he turned the closet doorknob, Kendra opened fire. Her mother taught Kendra how to do that but, sadly, neither is likely to be a guest in the Dictator’s audience.
Storekeepers who defended their lives and the property of others, some at the cost of their own jobs…Will not be recognized by the Dictator, either.
It’s clear why the families of Stevens, Doherty, Smith, Woods and Brian Terry won’t be invited to the balcony for the speech. The Dictator played a role on their deaths.
But why not the 66 year old Vietnam Vet, George Polanin, who held an intruder at gunpoint until the Kenosha cops came to his home, and Joseph Vallar, the Iraq Vet who told the 911 dispatcher, “I just caught somebody breaking into my house, I have my gun drawn on him right now.  Get down! Come into the front door, I’m sitting here by the front door with my gun drawn at the guy,” or any one of thousands of others who have done what Kendra, the 14 year old boy in Phoenix, Melinda Herman or these great Vets did?
Well…It’s simple really.
They and their families BELIEVE in the 2nd Amendment. They OWN guns. They know how and when to USE their weapons and they KNOW THEIR RIGHTS but that is only part of the reason why THEY won’t be invited.

You see, there is something else they all have in common.
It’s what they are NOT.
None of THEM are VICTIMS!!!!!
They refused to become victims of thugs, thieves, punks and bad guys and they have NO intention of becoming VICTIMS of SOCIALISM.
However, should the ilk of the Dictator and his minions have THEIR way, as will no doubt be highlighted in the State of Tyranny Address…
Eventually, should the Dictator’s wishes be granted…All of those 2nd Amendment loving Patriots who understand they CAN’T count on the GOVERNMENT to protect them…Will be made SOLDIERS in the fight for liberty because they will, like so many others, REFUSE to become VICTIMS in the Dictator’s applauding and approving gallery.
