Father Fidel Rodriguez could face charges for defending the Blessed Sacrament from a violent lesbian who crushed several hosts and tried to administer Holy Communion to herself after he refused to give it to her at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud. ST. CLOUD, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic priest may be arrested for defending the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ from an angry lesbian woman who crushed several hosts and tried to illicitly administer herself Holy Communion, prompting him to bite her arm.  By all indications, Father Fidel Rodriguez of St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud, Florida, acted appropriately when the woman tried to take what she later described to police as “the cookie” from him at a 12 p.m. Mass last Sunday.  The woman, whose name is Jetty Nique, left a one-star review of the church on Google. In her now-deleted review, she explains that she is a “proudly gay female” and that she attended the Mass because it was the first Communion of her “girlfriend’s” niece. She expressed anger over the fact that Father Rodriguez “disrespect[ed]” her by initially attempting to give her Communion on the tongue. Father Rodriguez told police when they arrived after the noon liturgy that he had never encountered Nique before and that his actions had nothing to do with her lesbian lifestyle, which he knew nothing about.  “I don’t judge nobody,” he told the police. Save 40% on Ultimate Fish Oil today and improve your supplement routine & experience the world-renowned powerhouse formula! The priest first interacted with Nique at St. Thomas Aquinas Church’s 10 a.m. liturgy. Video footage from the parish’s YouTube channel shows that he had a 55-second conversation with her when it was evident she wasn’t a practicing Catholic because she hadn’t opened her mouth or replied “Amen” when he said, “Body of Christ.” Father Rodriguez asked but she refused to tell him the last time she received Communion and went to confession. He then gave her a blessing.  Father Rodriguez recognized Nique when she re-presented herself for Communion at the 12 p.m. Mass, at which point he said he was not judging her but needed to know if she had gone to confession. Nique told him it was “not his business” then extended her arm and “crushed” several consecrated hosts, spilling them on the ground.  “He wouldn’t give me the cookie. I don’t know if it was the way I was dressed, or if it is what I like,” she later told police.  “I bit her, I am not denying that. I am defending myself and the sacrament,” the priest informed law enforcement.   The Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ truly present under the consecrated species of bread and wine, as the Catholic Church teaches. “In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist ‘the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained,’” the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, citing the Council of Trent. Jesus Christ is fully present in each particle of the Eucharist. The Diocese of Orlando, which is led by Bishop John Noonan, has issued a statementsupporting Father Rodriguez’s actions.   “Having only one hand free, Father Rodriguez struggled to restrain the woman as she refused to let go of the hosts. When the woman pushed him and reacting to a perceived act of aggression, Father Rodriguez bit her hand so she would let go of the hosts she grabbed. The woman was immediately asked to leave.”  “While the Diocese of Orlando does not condone physical altercations such as this, in good faith, Father Rodriguez was simply attempting to prevent an act of desecration of the Holy Communion, which, as a priest, Father Rodriguez is bound by duty to protect,” the diocese added.  “It is not something a person can arbitrarily demand and is certainly not a mere ‘cookie’ as the complainant called it,” the statement continued. “The full video and the police report show the woman initiated physical contact and acted inappropriately.”  Nique eventually went to the police station where the fire department treated her arm. She did not go to the hospital. She plans on filing charges against Father Rodriguez, NBC affiliate WESH-2 reports.  LifeSite called St. Thomas Aquinas Church to speak with the priest this morning. Father Rodriguez, 66, serves as the parochial vicar of the church. The receptionist who answered instructed LifeSite to reach out to the Diocese of Orlando’s communication department. LifeSite did so but received a voicemail.  According to local media, the St. Cloud police department has handed the case over to the Florida Attorney General’s office for further investigation.   Breaking!

Enabling people to become doctors due to their dark skin alone will result in people not trusting dark skinned doctors. It wasn’t that long ago that doctors were widely respected as knowledgeable professionals devoted to saving lives. In recent years, however, many doctors have started to place profits over people, making decisions that benefit Big Pharma and their bottom line but aren’t necessarily in the best interests of their patients. In the coming decades, we could be facing yet another serious problem with medical care in our country as waves of students who aren’t qualified academically but were admitted to medical schools based on diversity initiatives are put in charge of our care. Case in point: The David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. Once considered one of the top medical schools in the nation, its standards have been dropping dramatically, thanks largely to a dean who is obsessed with DEI admissions. Until recently, the medical school had a stellar reputation and has Nobel Prize winners on its faculty. Of the 14,000 students who apply to study there every year, only 173 are admitted. However, the tides are turning there thanks to new Dean of Admissions Jennifer Lucero. Since she was appointed to the role in June of 2020, it has dropped from 6th to 18th place in the rankings. Multiple faculty members who have firsthand knowledge of the school’s admissions process have said that diversity is now being prioritized over merit, and the result is less qualified classes that are not prepared to succeed. In addition, the number of students there who are failing tests about basic medical knowledge has risen tenfold in some subjects since she took over, and among certain cohorts, the majority of students are failing standardized tests on topics such as family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine and emergency medicine. Are these the people we want taking care of us? A former member of the school’s admissions staff said that this drop in standards is turning it into a “failed medical school.”Save 40% on our limited edition Brain Force Ultra that’s loaded with proprietary super ingredients! Two admissions officers recounted how Lucero became enraged when some people on the admissions committee expressed doubts about admitting a black candidate whose grades and test scores were far below the standard. An angry Lucero said: “Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?” She said that the scores the candidate earned were not important because “we need people like this in the medical school.” Some admissions officers said they were uncomfortable given the fact that state law bans California public schools from considering race in the admissions process. On top of that, the Supreme Court issued a ban on affirmative action last year. Since Lucero’s appointment, the UCLA Medical School has seen the number of Asian students drop by nearly one third from 2019 to 2022. One insider estimates that up to half of the medical school is “incredibly unqualified” One insider told the media: “I don’t know how some of these students are going to be junior doctors. Faculty are seeing a shocking decline in knowledge of medical students.” Another colleague agreed, noting: “UCLA still produces some very good graduates. But a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified.” One professor said that they had a student in the operating room who failed to identify a major artery when asked. The student then berated the professor, saying that they put her on the spot. An admissions committee member told the Washington Free Beacon that the bar for minorities who are underrepresented is “as low as you could possibly imagine.” “It completely disregards grades and achievements.” Let’s hope that the DEI craze doesn’t take over too many medical schools, or we could be facing a future where we have to put our lives in the hands of a sea of unqualified doctors.

While Americans remain largely unaware, a number of officially released documents suggest that the U.S. government has, at least in times passed, planned on developing a surveillance system of technologies which remotely and secretly surveil human biology. (LifeSiteNews) — One consequence of U.S. government secrecy about police, FBI, and other security and law enforcement methods, sources, and surveillance technologies is that Americans have to theorize on what those government employees might be doing or are capable of doing. American citizens might even be obligated to do such theorizing, in part due to the history of government employees secretly harming citizens, and because U.S. citizens are supposed to control the actions of government employees (especially law enforcement) through voting and other civil processes. Americans’ right to vote, among other rights (including the right to freely live the Catholic Faith in all spheres of society), implies the ability to know what U.S. government employees are doing, have done, and plan to do in the future. Again, this especially includes the actions of local police, the FBI, and all other security and law enforcement entities. (Similarly, though it is off-subject, U.S. government employee secrecy about those methods and technologies almost necessarily interferes with the right to vote.) For example, the FBI’s guidelines explain, without using the words “conspire” or “conspiracy,” that the FBI might conspire with local police to commit “otherwise illegal activity” against Americans, potentially including violence. One must necessarily theorize, then, about those conspiracies if voting will actually have the effect, for instance, of requiring FBI and local police conspiracies to be publicized and/or prevented. One subject which Americans almost necessarily have to theorize about is U.S. government or local government surveillance technologies in use or planned to be used in the future.  Some articles theorized that U.S. “biosurveillance” laws could be interpreted to imply that the U.S. government might be using advanced technologies to spy on Americans (like advanced radar which “sees into” homes and observes every move a person makes, ultrasound technologies, or infrared, radio frequency, and several other technologies on the electromagnetic spectrum which can surveil human biology and decode brain activity, potentially being able to at least partially “mind-read” thoughts, emotions, and intentions).Save 40% on Ultimate Fish Oil today and improve your supplement routine & experience the world-renowned powerhouse formula! U.S. government documents support this suggestion, potentially even implying that it is more than merely a possibility. In 2010, the U.S. government published two documents entitled “Remote Detection of Covert Tactical Adversarial Intent of Individuals in Asymmetric Operations” and “Research Directions in Remote Detection of Covert Tactical Adversarial Intent of Individuals in Asymmetric Operations.” One document explained the U.S. government’s plans to develop a surveillance system which can remotely detect a person’s intentions, potentially including technologies which can detect human brain activity. The U.S. government suggested those technologies could be used for “anticrime” and “security” in America, and other governments had similar plans.  The other U.S. government publication was more specific and suggested producing an “operational working system” for the remote detection of covert tactical adversarial intent of individuals by approximately 2020. (Page ii)  Additionally, a significant theme throughout both documents is the clear description of the use of advanced human biological technologies, including “e-field” technologies which “detect electrical activity of the…brain,” to potentially be remotely and secretly used determine human beings’ intentions. (Page 16, Page 7, etc.)  In other words, those documents very clearly explain that the U.S. government (and other governments) planned on developing a surveillance system of technologies which remotely and secretly surveil human biology, or a “biosurveillance” system, to be used to determine individuals’ intentions.  The documents also clearly describe that human biological metrics (often commonly referred to as “biometrics,” a word that is not used in the documents) or the measurement of human functions and processes, might be used for surveillance to determine human intentions. The documents are significant support of the claim that U.S. biosurveillance laws indeed allow some of the worst surveillance of Americans possible, potentially including brain surveillance. More examples can be provided. Specifically, one document described subjects discussed at a U.S. Army Research Laboratory Strategic Directions Workshop in 2009. The planned research included technologies to determine human intentions and which were to be operable from 3 to 50 meters away, but ultimately the plan was to develop technologies operable from more than 50 meters (Page 6) and, again, potentially for anticrime operations and security in America. (Page 26) Some technical themes discussed at the workshop included Principles from kinesiology, neurophysiology, psychology, cognitive science, sociocultural anthropology, and information science that link covert adversarial intent with data/information that can be observed noncooperatively through physical sensor networks at 3–50 m. (Page 3) and Metrics for measuring adversarial intent. All metrics need to be based on cognitive, psychological, neurophysiological, and/or kinesiological principles. (Page 3) Thus, U.S. government scientists clearly implied that biological surveillance technologies are also “biometric” technologies. Other themes at the U.S. government workshop included “research on identifying emotions” and quantitative procedures that can, in extensive clutter, automatically infer from remotely observed data/information (shape, color/spectrum, movement, temperature, etc., on scales from micro to macro) covert adversarial intent of individuals. (Page 3)  In other words, it should be evident that the U.S. government researchers were not merely discussing detecting a person’s facial expression from 100 feet away to determine emotions or intentions. Nor were they discussing, for example, surveillance of intentions expressed during a long-distance conversation between a Jihadist in Michigan and a Jihadist in the Middle East. Instead, “micro” scales of color/spectrum, movement, temperature, etc. suggests detecting biological activity underneath the skin, skull, and within the human body and brain. And because the focus was on metrics for measuring specifically “covert” or secret intent and that metrics were required “to be based on cognitive, psychological, neurophysiological, and/or kinesiological principles,” one can not only reasonably conclude, but one must almost necessarily conclude, that remote mind-reading technologies were implied as a possibility. The U.S. government scientists continue in the document by describing technologies which are typically used for “medical diagnosis” which could be improved to be used from distances further away from human bodies. Specifically, as mentioned previously, the scientists suggested “e-field” technologies which can detect electrical activity of the brain. (Page 16) Additionally, the scientists suggested developing “hyperspectral imagers” which can detect “subsurface blood flow.” (Page 15) The scientists were clearly suggesting surveillance of human biology to determine intentions rather than merely the subject of the FISA surveillance powers (again, for example, what one Jihadist said to the other). “Hyperspectral” includes technologies which utilize the electromagnetic spectrum like infrared or near-infrared technologies. Hyperspectral imaging can detect very small substances, or “nanoparticles,” in humans. Hyperspectral imaging can specifically also detect the movement of blood in the human brain (which might be implied when the government scientists describe observing “subsurface blood flow” to remotely determine covert intentions). Additionally, a separate U.S. government document explains that “portable, near-infrared spectroscopy can already provide non-invasive readouts of brain activity in social settings.” (Page 30) Similarly, other brain scientists are more specific in describing measuring and decoding “spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity” with functional magnetic resonance imaging (a type of hyperspectral imaging) as “mind-reading.” The same scientists used hyperspectral imaging for their research in identifying emotions based off of brain activity (as opposed to detecting emotions based off of facial expressions). There is more. In 2013, the Obama-Biden Whitehouse published their research plans for biosurveillance technologies to be used in America. The document included the plan to integrate emerging remote sensing capabilities/analysis (such as biological, chemical, and hyperspectral) with fixed, distributed autonomous or semi-autonomous surveillance platforms and conventional molecular biological tools to characterize and ultimately predict spatially and temporally important environmental variables that influence disease emergence within ecosystems, including humans (Page 12) Emphasis should be on the inclusion of “remote sensing capabilities/analysis (such as…hyperspectral)” technologies for biosurveillance within ecosystems, “including humans.” Finally, some might be interested in U.S. government officials with the idea of using advanced surveillance technologies to detect and understand intentions. The subject was mentioned as early as 2006 during a Congressional debate on the Electronic Surveillance Modernization Act which would have purportedly greatly expanded U.S. government surveillance powers. A former U.S. Representative said the following: our country needs to rapidly and effectively bring every intelligence tool to bear to find our enemies, detect and understand their intentions, and thwart their hostile and terrorist acts against our country and our people. (Page H7864) In other words, while government officials do not talk about the subject much, they have indeed previously suggested using surveillance to detect and understand intentions. And one need not be an expert to determine that intentions occur in the activity of the human brain. Detecting intentions, then, could imply using advanced intelligence tools, or surveillance, of the activity of the human brain. Americans should indeed be concerned about government surveillance of conversations, but it seems as though Americans should also be concerned about the government using some of the most advanced surveillance technologies possible, potentially including biosurveillance technologies which decode human brain activity and at least partially mind-read.

Campaigners are ready for the plans to be resurrected under the likely incoming Labour government. The sudden announcement of a July general election means that Rishi Sunak’s smoking ban bill—which he hoped would be a, or perhaps his only, ‘legacy’ policy—will be shelved. It’s not that the prime minister has had a change of heart; just yesterday, on May 23rd, he was celebrating that the law, dubbed the “toughest” of its kind in the world, means the next generation will “grow up smoke-free.” Earlier this morning, Rishi Sunak told @NickFerrariLBC the next generation would 'grow up smoke free'. It has now emerged that the Prime Minister's flagship smoking ban bill won't make it through Parliament before it is dissolved ahead of the General Election. pic.twitter.com/Lki2xkRznZ— LBC (@LBC) May 23, 2024 Rather, the shutting down of Parliament ahead of the national vote means there will not be time to push the law through. TalkTV presenter Kevin O’Sullivan suggests, however, that Sunak “has been planning to abandon his nanny state smoking ban for months.”Power up with Nitric Boost that’s now 40% OFF! This potent formula gives you the massive edge in strength and superior circulation for that unparalleled performance you've been looking for! It is, after all, a good bit of political play. The PM knows that Labour—as liberties campaigner Simon Clark has put it—“will no doubt resuscitate the generational ban” after it wins the election, which it is expected to do. That means that in five years, Tory MPs will be able to appeal to the electorate by bashing Labour for putting the restrictive scheme, which bans the sale of tobacco to those born after January 1st, 2009, into law. Indeed, voters tend to have short (political) memories, and are unlikely to remember that it was the Conservatives who actually introduced the bill in the first place. Who now remembers, for example, that former Tory PM and then-Mayor Boris Johnson introduced London’s Ultra Low Emission (ULEZ) Zone—the first in the world—which the Conservatives now bash Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan for. Clark added in response to the shelving of the smoking bill that “it would be nice to think that what’s left of the Tory party in the Commons [after the election] will, under a new leader, oppose the policy.” “Either way,” he said, “the fight goes on.” As The European Conservative previously pointed out, “even if the legislation is not completed before the Conservatives lose the next general election, it will likely then be put into action fairly swiftly by the next (pro-tobacco ban) Labour government.” Breaking!

Radev is a staunch opponent of sending military to Ukraine. Bulgarian President Rumen Radev thinks it is impossible for Ukraine to beat Russia. During a May 18 address, the Bulgarian leader expressed concern about the Russia-Ukraine war’s broad repercussions. He indicated that the ongoing conflict, which began in February 2022, has a substantial impact on global politics and elections – including those in Europe and the United States. “Every day that this war continues is disastrous for Ukraine, Russia and all of us,” said Radev. “This inevitably affects all elections. We will choose in this and the next election between war and peace. Every citizen is obliged to understand this.” “It is unacceptable to present the continuation of the war and the impossible victory over Russia as the only possible solution,” the Bulgarian president continued. He warned that if the chaos continues, Ukraine will become a “demographically devastated country, with completely destroyed infrastructure, industry [and] production.” Such an outcome, Radev added, “will have extremely serious consequences not only for Ukraine but also for the whole of Europe.” “With weapons, without weapons – we are going to a similar outcome. We have to realize that. The difference will be thousands of human casualties and a devastated country – for which [its] recovery we will have to pay, [and] it is inevitable.” Save 10% on ALL storable food and Alexapure Pro Water Filtration Systems!

According to Euractiv, Radev is a staunch opponent of sending military to Ukraine. However, Sofia exported large quantities of weapons to Kyiv through intermediaries during his caretaker government from 2021 until 2022. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky himself lauded Bulgaria, alongside the West, for helping Kyiv prevent the war from spilling over during his visit to Sofia in July 2023. Radev also comments on the shooting of Slovak PM The Bulgarian president was asked by a journalist about the recent assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. In response, Radev took the opportunity to comment on the development by connecting Fico’s shooting to the Russia-Ukraine war. According to the Bulgarian leader, voices advocating for peace such as Fico should not be greeted with violence. The Slovak leader was known for his pro-Russian position and opposition to Ukrainian arms deliveries, a complete turnaround from that of his predecessors. He has also voiced opposition to the World Health Organization‘s Pandemic Treaty. Fico was shot at close range on May 15 in the central Slovak city of Handlova. He had left a government meeting and was greeting a crowd of supporters. The shooter, 71-year-old Juraj Cintula, beckoned the prime minister to greet him – and then shot him five times with his handgun. The Slovak leader suffered critical injuries as two of the bullets struck him in the abdomen and shoulder. He was rushed to the hospital and later recovered after a five-hour emergency procedure. Bodyguards pounced on Cintula immediately after he shot Fico, with police subsequently detaining the shooter and charges being filed against him. “The attempted assassination of a European prime minister by a radicalized fanatic, because of his support for peace, is indicative of this ingrained intolerance of dissent and hatred,” Radev said. “Many politicians, parties and media [outlets] have contributed to this with their portrayal of every different voice as pro-Russian, which is extremely unfair and leads to negative consequences.” Head over to UkraineWitness.com for similar stories.
