		<description><![CDATA[You guys get to caught up in wanting to label someone a nut.  Everyone has their own theories and opinons.  That was one of Gods gift to all of us, our own freewill.  This dude made a few good points.  Our constitution is a simple document that an 8th grader could read and understand.  We dont need these supreme interpretors to twist the meanings around to justify their own evil dealings.  I think this guy does a better job than most youtubers on tying together that whole satanist illuminati crap that i found it hard to believe in until lately.  Just remember.  the original hebrews where black (and im white as a ghost so dont play race shit with me) and even tho today 3/23/2013 there is the biggest buildup of military hardware EVER build up in the persian gulf middle east, God hasnt called back his people yet.  The bible desciption of what the real hebrews would suffer goes hand in hand with the slavery and civil rights predijudices and atrocities the blacks have endured through out history even to this day in Africa, the white jews over in israel now are pretty decieved. Just like most of you roman catholics that go to church on Sundays.  Rememeber there were originally more than 10 commandments. the first 4-6 taught us how to love each other, our god and how to have a relationship with him.  The great whore has taken it upon here self to alter the word of God.  God said to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.  In case you forgot how to read an actual calender, Saturday is the last day of the week, the Sabbath.  So every single one of you who goes into any church on a Sunday and worships, you are partaking in Sun worship, who was Lucifer considered to be according to the Luciferian Bible, The morning star. The illuminated, the light bearer,  so get right with God, that would be a much better use of your time, than to sit here and try to make a few odd ball correlations with his last name.  there was a phelps who smoked pot and won the olympics not to long ago. Is he crazy cuz of his last name.  The bible even says the masses will be decieved, by the great immitator.  I am afraid to say that this man isnt perfect so he did make a mistake somewhere doesnt mean he needs meds.  Means he is not perfect, but he hit a home run compared to the 99% of you guys who dont want to do the research yourselves because that takes up to much of your tv time, so lets try to discredit him with a bunch of non sense, he has over 650 quotes from varioous conspirtors over the last 300 years, wheres your sources?]]></description>

The evidence that the Vatican pig-pen controls the US administration, via the despicable Jesuit order, is not only overwhelming, as well, irrefutable. Mr. Goldwag, i find your bias and your dishonesty, offensive. You should be ashamed of yourself!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And I forgot to mention the 5 out of 9 Roman Catholic Supreme Court Justices. (I believe that number is correct last I checked) And you must remember that a couple of those were directly responsible for handing George W. Bush the election in 2000. And then there is Viet D. Dinh, the chief architect of the Patriot Act who is Roman Catholic. And the fact that the shrill and constant onslaught on U.S. democracy is coming from a handful of Roman Catholic reactionaries: Bill O&#039;Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingram, Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich. Who did I leave out?  (Rush are you Catholic? It would be great to add you to this list!)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phelps is spinning disinfo. What could he possibly be spinning disinfo around? The REAL ties between Catholicism and anti-democracy agents who both historically have sought to weaken the U.S. democracy from within for their own aims. You don&#039;t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that there was a Catholic element to both the Lincoln assassination and JFK. Lincoln was assassinated by a conspiracy of Roman Catholics. Years ago we were told Lincoln was assassinated by a lone nut. These days they say it was a conspiracy. They just can&#039;t say it involved Catholics. Mary Surrat&#039;s house was a safehouse visited by Jesuits and Roman Catholic priests. One of the conspirators fled to Rome after the Lincoln assassination and became a papal Zouave until the U.S. tracked him down and brought him back to the USA for charges. The USA broke off ties with the Vatican in 1867. The Vatican in the mid and 1850s under the Pope was battling secularizing forces that it felt were a threat to the &quot;divine right&quot; of the church to do whatever the hell the church wanted to do. This was inline with the &quot;divine right&quot; that certain Americans believed they were entitled to in their ownership of slaves. They made an alliance. This where the key lies to understanding events like the Lincoln and JFK assassination and 9/11. It is not ONE all powerful group behind these events. It is different groups in COLLUSION. And Phelps seems to be part of a group trying to hang the entire heaping mess around the neck of the Vatican. This collusion also worked against FDR and JFK when similar alignments arose in the USA to fight democratizing threats to &quot;divine rights&quot;. In the 60s, in South America, Roman Catholic priests were embracing liberation theology and standing up for the poor. The Catholic church and its Imperialist supporters like Allen Dulles couldn&#039;t be bothered by poor people complaining about the unfairness of the world. The Catholic church wanted the poor to shutup about equality and justice. This liberation theology &quot;crap&quot; couldn&#039;t be tolered by the Vatican, and it certainly couldn&#039;t be tolerated by Roman Catholic elites like Allen Dulles or by the Anti-Communist White Russian imperialists who were displaced by the Soviets and played a big part of the JFK events in Texas. Look at those who controlled Oswald. Who allegedly shot Oswald. Those who moved Oswald around and framed him up as fall guy.  Those who were controlling everything. Guess what? You will find a lot of Catholics, Anti-Communists and imperialist exiles surrounding JFK&#039;s death.  ANTI-DEMOCRACY FORCES. Similar to the assassination of Lincoln. You will also find similar connections with 9/11. Louis Freeh, George Tenet and Michael Hayden all dropped the ball on 9/11. Two of those guys are hardcore Roman Catholic. One of them attended Jesuit run Georgetown University(Tenet). Guess who is running the show now in 2011 and covering up for that other treasury draining democracy smashing travesty called &quot;The War on Terror&quot;? Robert Gates(another Georgetown U. alum) and Leon Panetta...a Roman Catholic who attended Jesuit run Santa Clara University. Nothing to see here right? Just the creeping clandestine destruction of American democracy. Pay it no mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunshine, you and Concordat Watch are guilty of a little misrepresentation. The building you refer to as a &quot;recently-built 300 million dollar St. Peter’s replica in Cote d’Ivoire,&quot; the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro, is 1. not all that recently built, having been dedicated in 1990, and 2. not a replica of St. Peter&#039;s (presuming you mean the big church in Rome where the Pope hangs out).

Also, any implication you&#039;re trying to offer that the basilica was financed or instigated by the Catholic Church is quite false, as it was a project of Cote D&#039;Ivoire&#039;s then-president Felix Houphouet-Boigny, who gave it to the Vatican, courtesy of his nation&#039;s rather hard-pressed taxpayers. It&#039;s more a glorification of Houphouet-Boigny himself than Catholicism or God, as it was built in his hometown and features a rather shameless stained-glass window depicting him as one of the Three Kings.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunshine,

I don&#039;t think ANYONE here is attempting to portray the Catholic Church as infallible. That would be just about the biggest lie I&#039;ve ever told.

While I have a great deal of respect for SOME things the Roman Church has done, by and large, I hold a great deal of enmity toward it. What I am simply trying to say is that this Phelps character is clearly lacking possession of his full mental faculties.

Yes, Rome is still powerful. But it is NOWHERE near as powerful as it once was. For example, I&#039;m Jewish, and I have absolutely no Vatican emissaries attempting to prevent me from practicing my faith.

It hasn&#039;t always been this way.

I would be more than happy to continue this discussion if you&#039;re so inclined. Thanks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you confusing hate with ugly truth?  Hopefully you did a bit of homework before making this post with the backing of your organization.  Surely you are familiar with the website Hidden From History and Kevin Annett&#039;s film Unrepentant?  How about the history of the Magdalene laundries and Catholic orphanages/industrial schools throughout the world?  Of course you&#039;ve been to the website Spiritually Smart, which is full of documentation of the non-benevolence of the Church of Rome?  Concordat Watch which discusses the recently-built 300 million dollar St. Peter&#039;s replica in Cote d&#039;Ivoire?  You must be familiar with the endless cases of rape, torture and murder of children by priests.  The actions of the priests at the Jasenovac concentration camp?  How about the countries that have kicked the Jesuits out over the years - have you checked into that?  The Vatican rat line is interesting.  Oh, and the inquisitions...  It would be simple to go through hundreds of pages of documentation and pick out a couple of things that you don&#039;t agree with and blow them out of proportion while overlooking any truth contained therein.  I&#039;m concerned about your reporting skills, what credentials you may possess and your motives.  I don&#039;t agree with everything Phelps has to say but the man has done his homework, as have many others, in trying to educate the public.  What&#039;s that saying, don&#039;t throw out the baby with the bathwater?]]></description>

And in response to Aron&#039;s first comment: I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t find this funny at all. Bizarre, yes; but not funny. There will always be people who will take this kind of thing seriously, and in today&#039;s paranoid political and cultural climate it can quickly escalate out of control. And then god help us!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The name &quot;Phelps&quot; has an interesting history in relation to fundamentalist Protestant nuts in the US. Several American Protestants, all named Phelps, have done bizarre, creepy things regarding religion (like this one). Fred Phelps, for example, is the head of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church, who have, among other things, spit on people who come by their picket lines and forced the children to carry signs that say &quot;BEAST (or BLOODY) OBAMA&quot;. Another clerical pervert by the name of Pastor Chuck Phelps (also Protestant), who works (worked?) at Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, NH, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2010/06/02/baptist-church-told-girl-to-apologize-for-being-raped-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;forced&lt;/a&gt; a 15 year old girl to apologize for being raped by a member of his congregation. Pastor Phelps told her that she was lucky that the laws of the Old Testament didn&#039;t apply, because if they did, her punishment would have been stoning. What a sicko.

Now we have this dude, blaming the Vatican and the Jesuits on everything (based on ancient Protestant hoaxes), sounding like (as Erika said above) Jack Chick, and his name is Phelps too. Is there a connection here?]]></description>
