Urgent message of the Prime Minister of Tuvalu Kausea Natano

Dear friends,

I’m writing to you with an urgent message as the Prime Minister of Tuvalu: Our country is sinking! My homeland could be one of the first nations to be wiped off the map due to climate change. But we won’t give up. We will fight! In a few hours, I’m addressing the climate summit in Egypt to call for a new global treaty to phase out fossil fuels and help vulnerable countries cope with climate devastation. Join my urgent call to world leaders now!
JOIN NOW
Dear world leaders at the COP,

Climate change is drowning the Pacific Islands.

The world’s addiction to oil, gas and coal threatens to swallow our lands under the warming seas – inch by inch.

But we will not stand by as our home is wiped from the map!

So we’re uniting with a hundred Nobel laureates and thousands of scientists worldwide to urge world leaders to join the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to manage a just transition away from fossil fuels.

The time has come to make peace with the planet. To deliver vulnerable nations the long overdue funding needed to cope with the loss and damage incurred from climate disasters and to make polluters pay.

They say that one day, the oceans will swallow the place we call home. But I promise you this: until that day comes, we will keep fighting.

Because if we can save our islands, we can save the world.

Tuvalu mo te Atua

Kausea Natano
Prime Minister of Tuvalu

___________________________________________

The prime minister of Tuvalu is the head of government of Tuvalu. According to Tuvalu’s constitution, the prime minister must always be a member of the parliament, and is elected by parliament in a secret ballot. Because there are no political parties in Tuvalu, any member of parliament can be nominated for the role. Following the parliamentary vote the governor-general of Tuvalu (as head of state) is responsible for swearing in as the prime minister the person who commands the confidence of a majority of members of parliament.

The office of prime minister was established when Tuvalu gained independence in 1978, although the post is sometimes considered to be a continuation of the earlier office of chief minister, which was created in 1975. If the prime minister dies, as has happened on one occasion, the deputy prime minister becomes acting prime minister until a new one is elected by parliament. The prime minister can lose his office by resigning, being defeated in a motion of no confidence by parliament, or losing his seat in a parliamentary election.

Several former prime ministers have been appointed the governor-general of Tuvalu.

Kausea Natano is the incumbent prime minister, since 19 September 2019.

Will column: Has the Catholic Church committed the worst crime in American history?

PostIndenpedent

March 17, 2019

PHILADELPHIA — “Horseplay,” a term used to denote child rape, is, says Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, part of a sinister glossary of euphemisms by which the Catholic Church’s bureaucracy obfuscates in documents the church’s “pattern of abuse” and conspiracy of silence “that goes all the way to the Vatican.” “Benevolent bishops” are those who allow predatory priests, shuffled from other dioceses, to continue as priests.

The fuse for the national explosion of fury about sexual abuse by Catholic clergy was lit in Boston — the excellent 2015 movie “Spotlight” recounts The Boston Globe’s victory over the stonewalling Catholic hierarchy in 2001-2002. But the still-reverberating detonation occurred last August in a Pittsburgh grand jury’s report on the sexual abuse by approximately 300 priests of at least 1,000 victims in six Pennsylvania dioceses.

Pope Francis – a wolf in sheeps clothing

news24

31 July 2013,
Lately there has been an astounding PR campaign from the pontiff in order to claw back some of the Catholics who have begun to become disillusioned with their faith. While on the surface it appears to be a loving and inclusive doctrine, below the surface lies a hidden and immoral truth. I find this so repulsive, that it astounds me that so many people do not realise the Pope is peddling his message of lies, without notice.
The facts: So far we have seen the Pope declare seemingly that Homosexuality isn’t so bad with his famous quote “Who am I to Judge?” and that atheists can go to heaven with the paraphrased “Being an Atheist is alright as long as you do good”. In addition, how could we fail to forget his instance of carrying his own bag while travelling and his simple choice of clothing – shunning the fine raiment traditionally worn?
Who could hate such an accepting and revolutionary voice, so badly needed in the Vatican? We see people falling over themselves in an almost worship of this divine entity challenging false doctrine and commanding the perfect word of God. Big mistake. Big, big, mistake.

WHO WE ARE

BishopAccountability.org

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “ACCOUNTABILITY”?

It is a matter of public record that U.S. bishops have knowingly transferred thousands of abusive priests into unsuspecting parishes and dioceses, placing fear of “scandal” ahead of the welfare of children. The bishops themselves have apologized for what they call their “mistake,” but they say nothing about the crucial actions that constitute accountability.

For true “bishop accountability” to occur, two things must happen: 1) there must be a full “account” of the bishops’ responsibility for the sexual abuse crisis, both individually and collectively, and 2) bishops who have caused the abuse of children and vulnerable adults must be “held accountable.”

The IRA, the Catholic Church & Big Lies

The IRA, the Catholic Church & Big Lies

Northern nationalism has entered a moral ice-age largely ushered in by Gerry Adams’ strategy.

Lies – Very Big Lies – are the order of the day and all who wish to be northern nationalists must lie and be complicit in lies, even the Catholic church.

 

The Father of Lies opining to David Blevins

The Biggest Lie of All is Gerry’s lie that he was never a member of the IRA – FFS Gerry, you as good as told David Blevins on Sky television that you would come clean at last if you got a promise of immunity – not for you the prison years that were the fate of the lower orders of republicanism – the thousands of IRA volunteers who spent a total of thousands of years in prisons for murders and bombings and for the Big Lie of a United Ireland or Bust.

How the Vatican evades human rights obligations through Canon Law, diplomatic immunity and other dodges

Concordat Watch

The Vatican doesn’t acknowledge human rights unless they are in accordance with Church doctrine. Its courts have been found by the EU to violate the right to a fair trial. And the Vatican has even maintained that its signature to one of the few human rights treaties it has signed (and even then with “reservations”) only applies to its own territory and not to the Catholic Church.
“One cannot then appeal to these rights of man in order to oppose the interventions of the Magisterium.”
— Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 1990 [1]

The Vatican not only quietly rejects the supremacy of human rights in principle, it also cultivates effective ways to get around having to implement them.

Catholic Charities, Scam In World

http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1083329

How many of you have received a call from Catholic Charities asking for you to donate money? How many of you have donated?

I for one would love to see the Catholic Charities shut down, and everyone running it put in jail for life. It’s the biggest scam in the world. They “claim” that they use the money they get to help the poor and needy. That’s a huge lie.

The Vatican Has Never REALLY Apologised For Any Of Its Crimes, And Neither Will It For The Goan Inquisition

SWARAJYA – READ INDIA RIGHT

Aravindan Neelakandan, Dec 04, 2016

SNAPSHOT
All that it has ever done for its crimes, is try and pin the blame outside and cleverly portray itself as not guilty

When it comes to ‘apologising’ for genocides, which it either directly instigated or facilitated through tactical support, Vatican is a conjurer adept in sleight of words and institutions. You are made to believe that Vatican has changed; that the Vatican has apologised but then you go through what has been actually said officially and by whom, and you realise that nothing has changed.

Der Verrat an Jesus, dem Christus Die Kirche – keine Jesusnachfolge, sondern ein totalitärer Götzenkult

DER THEOLOGE
Nr. 25

Obwohl der Film The Da Vinci Code nur eine Verfilmung eines Romans war, reagierte die Kirche zum Filmstart im Jahr 2006 aufgeregt. Denn auch wenn die Einzelheiten nur fiktiv sind (z. B. die Existenz eines leiblichen Nachkommens von Jesus), traf der Kern der Handlung ins Schwarze: Die Kirche verwaltet ein Lügengebäude und ist verantwortlich für den größten Betrug der Menschheitsgeschichte. Dieser besteht darin, dass sie sich als Stellvertreterin der Sache von Jesus ausgibt, während sie in Wirklichkeit im Gegensatz zu dem Mann aus Nazareth steht. Die Kirche ist – religionsgeschichtlich formuliert – eine “synkretistische Religion”, also eine Mischreligion”. Denn sie setzt sich zusammen aus Elementen antiker Mysterienreligionen, des alttestamentlichen Priestertums, der archaischen “Vielgötterei” und aus voodoo-ähnlichen Blut-Kulten, in die man – auch noch teilweise gefälschte – Elemente der Lehre von Jesus von Nazareth mit hinein gewoben hat. In ihrer Organisationsstruktur übernahm man die Verwaltungseinheiten des Imperium Romanum, und man übertrug den totalen Herrschaftsanspruch römischer Kaiser auf den katholischen Papst und auf die kirchliche Hierarchie. Zusammenfassend könnte man die Kirche folglich als einen totalitären Götzenkult bezeichnen.

Gelegentlich wird die Kirche zurecht auch als “heidnisch” bezeichnet. Hier ist allerdings zu bedenken, dass es andere “heidnische” Bewegungen gibt, die aufgrund einer überwiegend positiven Ethik mehr mit Jesus von Nazareth gemeinsam haben als die Institution Kirche. Diese Bewegungen dürfen bei einer Einordnung der Kirche in das “Heidentum” ausdrücklich nicht mit den kirchlichen Verbrechen und negativen kirchlichen Lehrinhalten in Verbindung gebracht werden, weswegen die gelegentliche auch hier gebräuchliche Bezeichnung “heidnisch” für die Kirche nicht missverstanden werden darf.
