Wave of Suicides Hit France

1 Comment

Over the French holiday weekend a wave of suicides hit France. 12 people committed suicide on French railways, in unrelated incidents across the country, causing chaos across the french rail networks with 30,000 passengers affected.

In one incident a father jumped in front of a train holding his 19 month old baby. In Paris late Sunday night, the city taxi-drivers had to be called upon to help 10,500 stranded travellers.

France has a higher rate of suicide than it’s neighbours. With 33 per 1,000 taking their own life; compared to roughly half that rate in the UK and Spain.

In Japan, where suicide is recorded as one of the highest in the world, studies have shown that the economic hardship, depression and lack of job prospects are key among victims.

Is it about culture, economics or something else?

Politics

FORMER SENATOR CHRIS DODD, NOW HEAD OF U.S. MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION

Chris Dodd served 36 years as Senator of Connecticut: 6 years in the House of Representatives and 30 years in the Senate.

Dodd’s father, Thomas Dodd, was also a member of the House of Representatives, and a Senator. He also served as an Ambassador to Costa Rica and Uruguay.

Significantly, Thomas Dodd was involved in the Nuremburg Trials of Nazi War Criminals after the Second World War.

He cross examined many prominent Nazis, and helped with the collection and presentation of evidence.

He was presented the Medal of Freedom, the Certificate of Merit, and the Czechoslovak Order of the White Lion.

Chris Dodd followed his father into politics, being elected to the Senate in 1980.

Dodd was instrumental in many pieces of key legislation:

– Family and Medical Leave Act, which included paid leave for carers, and a corporate carbon tax.

-Credit Card, Accountability, and Disclosure Act

-Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act, which means a sample of every child’s blood is taken at birth and stored without the parents consent.

-He was also on the Health, Education, Labour and Pensions Committee. As acting committee Chairman it was his job to get the Health Care Reform Bill passed.

Dodd’s career has not been without other controversy, he was caught up in the:

-Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac controversies

-Irish Cottage Controversy

– AIG federal assistance and bonuses controversy.

Dodd’s questionable activities have led political opponents to question his leadership and judgement for high office, with fellow Democrate Senator Roger Pearson saying,

“Senator Dodd stood up on the stage with President Obama when the President announced his healthcare plan and urged legislators to move forward with reform,”

Pearson said. “Now Chris Dodd has failed the President and failed us, lacking the leadership to push this most important initiative through.

“If Senator Dodd wasn’t so busy trying to distance himself from all the money he’s gotten from AIG, big healthcare companies and all the rest of the big money special interests, then maybe he could have spent time pushing healthcare,”

Dodd also worked closely with U.S. Representative for Massachusetts Democrat, Barney Frank.

Together they worked on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, after the 2008 recession.

The act was meant to protect the economy from banks or corporations becoming “too big to fail”

Critics say the bill is not fit for purpose, and it is now stopping banks from lending money to small and medium sized businesses, and this is a major cause of the sluggish growth in the economy.

Dodd retired as a Senator before the 2010 mid-term elections. After seeing his poll rating plummet making it look highly unlikely he would win another term in office.

In March 2011 he accepted the role as Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

Dodd has been at the Cannes film festival promoting American films to the world.

As CEO of MPAA, Dodd was also one of the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)  and PIPA bills biggest supporters.

These anti-privacy bills would see websites containing illegal material banned and the sites blocked – technology used in nations like China and Iran to stifle free speech.

After widespread anger the bills were dropped last year, but Dodd has recently said, he believes the bills will be resurrected in some new form after the Presidential election, probably softening the implications of “theft”.

The MPAA wants (and needs) to gain control over the internet; they see it is as one of the most dangerous threats to their continued control over the entertainment industry.

Prophet TV have been exposing the political bias in the media.

The MPAA promotes American film and television worldwide.

The appointment of the liberal Dodd, to the position of CEO, strengthens the hold of the liberal elite on the media.

In America today the liberal left and the media are indistinguishable.

Obama talks gay rights at Clooney fundraiser

As the Presidential elections are only 5 months away Obama is busy on the fund-raising trail, building a substantial war chest.

Recently George Clooney hosted an Obama fundraiser at his Hollywood home, which raised nearly $15 million.

Tickets cost $40,000 each and amongst the 150 guests were Barbara Streisand, Salma Hayek, Tobey Maguire and Jack Black.

Obama delighted the crowd with his speech endorsing gay-rights, which came only days after he came out, openly expressing his views on same-sex marriage, after conversations with his children.

Since Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage, he has been free in expressing his support of Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.

With so many big money democrat supporters – passionate about same-sex marriage, or homosexual issues, – Obama has seen this position pay off with significant donations pouring in.

Although his strong black support base tend to hold a traditional view on marriage, Obama seems to be hoping they will vote according to race, and not moral conviction.

CERN Scientists see Particles Travelling Faster than the Speed of Light

1 Comment

Scientists at the prestigious CERN Particle Physics complex, near Geneva, Switzerland (home to the Large Hadron Collider) believe they have managed to fire the tiny sub-atomic particle, the neutrino, at a speed greater than the speed of light.

For the last three years scientists at CERN have been testing and retesting the result to ensure they have done the experiment accurately. In the experiment particles from CERN, Switzerland were fired underground to another particle physics lab, Italy’s Gran Sasso, near Rome, 454 miles away. The neutrinos arrived at the Italian lab 60 nanoseconds faster than light, (that’s sixty billionth of a second). Although that sounds tiny, in the world of particle physics it is significant, and can be measured to a high degree of accuracy. The CERN and Gran Sasso scientists have repeated the experiment at least 15,000 times, with the same result. Under normal circumstances this would be conclusive enough, however with a result of this significance further independent research will be required.

If independent research confirms the result it will re-write the fundamentals of the laws of physics as we know them. Albert Einstein first postulated that the speed of light was a universal constant, this formed the basis of his Theory of Special Relativity; and underpins much of modern physics. The consequences of his theory being wrong are unimaginable. Physicists are now postulating the neutrinos are moving in and out of other dimensions, or this may provide some tangible evidence into the world of string theory.

The scientific community are now eagerly awaiting physicists in America and Japan to confirm their results.

Lars von Trier Nazi Occult Cannes

1 Comment

Director Lars von Trier shocked everyone in the room during a Cannes press conference after presenting Melancholia, his latest film. In a rambling monologue that caused Larry David levels of awkwardness among the assembled cast (including Kirsten Dunst, John Hurt and Charlotte Gainsbourg), Lars von Trier dropped such gems as:

“For a long time I thought I was a Jew and I was happy to be a Jew,” he began, “then I met [Jewish director] Susanne Bier and I wasn’t so happy. But then I found out I was actually a Nazi. My family were German. And that also gave me some pleasure. What can I say? I understand Hitler…I sympathize with him a bit.”

“In fact I’m very much in favor of them. All Jews. Well, Israel is a pain in the ass but…”

“Now how can I get out of this sentence? Ok. I’m a Nazi.”

How do you top that? Well, how about answering a question about his next project with “We Nazis like to do things on a big scale. Maybe I could do The Final Solution.” You can see the Lars von Trier Nazi rant video here, in all its awkward glory.

At this point it should be clear that Lars von Trier was trolling, as he does rather often, and that he took the joke too far, even in spite of himself, as he later admitted.

Lars von Trier: From Nazism to Epic Porn

Lars von Trier later dissed Melancholia, describing it as “maybe crap”, and saying that he wants to cast Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg in a 4-hour porn film with “lots of uncomfortable sex”

Hollywood Reporter took Lars von Trier at his word, at least in their headline. What separates this from, say, a Mel Gibson rant is von Trier’s history of intentionally winding people up mixed with his tendency to get carried away with his own speeches and not knowing when to apply the brakes; Mel Gibson’s rants were private affairs that became public against his will.

Apologizing for the director, Kirsten Dunst said that von Trier tended to “run his mouth”.

Lars von Trier later apologized for his comments, describing them as “rude” and that he “didn’t sympathize with Hitler for one second”. Lars von trier has been banned from the rest of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

Lars von Trier is no stranger to trolling audiences, having written and directed films like The Idiots, Dancer in the Dark, Breaking the Waves, and, most recently/infamously, Antichrist. After the conference, von Trier said, “This whole Nazi thing, I don’t know where it came from, but you spend a lot of time in Germany, you sometimes want to feel a little free and just talk about this shit, you know?”

Well, not really, but…

The Royal Wedding

Today the streets of London were lined with a million people eager to watch and be part of the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the future King and Queen of Great Britain and the Commonwealth.

For weeks the United Kingdom has prepared for the wedding with many people throughout the nation preparing street parties and events to mark the day. With the mood in Britain of late being one of austerity and gloom, today has marked a change in public feeling. People of all backgrounds came together in unity to celebrate. Releasing hope across the nation.

The young couple meet 10 years ago, whilst studying at St. Andrews University. The media had agreed to allow the Prince privacy to further his education, so the couple enjoyed four years in relative exclusion in the quiet Scottish University town, in which to develop their relationship, which began as friendship and blossomed into romance. This is a very normal love story, allowed to run it’s natural course, which has lead them to Westminster Abbey today.

Catherine looked every bit the princess in her beautiful wedding gown, the Abbey adorned with an avenue of trees looked spring-like and resplendent. The service carried both solemnity and intimacy, only possible when two people in love come together in marriage.

The Royal Wedding focused the attention of a nation on that which is lovely and good; and the whole nation was lifted as a result. The British people famous for their cynicism, threw this off today in unabashed joy for a young couple sharing their love with the world.

Charlie Sheen a Prophet

1 Comment

Hollywood gossip columns have been gripped by the continuing problems of actor Charlie Sheen for months now. After Warner Brothers requested he enter rehab for help with his drug and alcohol problems, the “Two and A Half Men” star refused, and was consequently fired.

Since then Sheen has had a very public meltdown, seeming bent on destroying his career and those of the people he has work with on “Two and a Half Men”.

However, despite his very public displays of hedonism and drug abuse there are those in the far left media who are applauding him, hailing him as a hero and as a modern day prophet, as one journalist writes, “He is a psychopathic prophet warning of the dangers, lunacy, and criminality of the mainline media and everything they stand for. No wonder he looks so crazy.”

In an interview after his dismissal Sheen described himself as a “warlock”. However, such references to occult practices have drawn the attention of Christian Day, a Salem based Warlock. At first he took offence at Sheen’s causal use of the term “warlock”, as well as other terms alluding to witchcraft Sheen had been using.

However Day and  his cadre of witches are seeking to now “help” Sheen through their magic. They have already held a “magical intervention” ceremony in Salem- Day alleges evidence that his initial spell is already working. “He’s coming out of the house, he’s on tour, and he’s at least playing into the fun of it all, which shows that he’s leaving the crazy side and turning this into an opportunity,” Day said. And later: “it is the power of manifestation.” They now want to use their magic to see him “healed”. They are planning to watch him on his upcoming “Violent Torpedo of Truth” Tour, where they will cast spell during the show for Sheen’s healing.

The witches access spiritual power and see things manifest, they do so under the power of the demonic. However the church does not even understand the power “Spiritual” power of God. God has given the church “Spiritual” power to manifest His Kingdom, and bring about healing and freedom from addiction. Do the witches listen and obey the spirits they are of, more than the church?

Note: our prophet lives next door to one of the Sheen’s properties and knows the family, however he is never there to build relationships, as he is protecting many other areas, because of the lack of “Spiritual” Authority, and responsibility, that other believers should walk in. Therefore, problems in the world are the direct results of peoples lack of relationship with the creator, instead desiring a sleepy religious experience, all the while being seduced!
