VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis on Saturday said an “epidemic of animosity” against people of other races or religions was hurting the weakest in society, as he struck a note of caution against the rise of populist nationalism.Little more than a week after Donald Trump was elected the next U.S. president, buoying anti-immigrant parties in Europe and elsewhere, the pope said people should not be seen as enemies just because they were different.“We see, for example, how quickly those among us with the status of a stranger, an immigrant, or a refugee, become a threat, take on the status of an enemy,” Francis said at a ceremony to induct new cardinals.“An enemy because they come from a distant country or have different customs. An enemy because of the color of their skin, their language or their social class. An enemy because they think differently or even have a different faith,” he said.While not naming any country, Francis appeared to refer to the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim attitudes that surfaced during the U.S. campaign and since the election.The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it was investigating reports of intimidation and harassment, including in schools and churches since the election.“How many wounds grow deeper due to this epidemic of animosity and violence, which leaves its mark on the flesh of many of the defenseless, because their voice is weak and silenced by this pathology of indifference,” the pope said.The Church itself was not immune to “a virus of polarization and animosity,” he said, an apparent reference to a public challenge to the pope by four conservative cardinals, who accused him of sowing confusion on important moral issues…

GEORGE SOROS’ WAR ON AMERICA: TIME TO PROSECUTE THE BILLIONAIRE’S GLOBAL CRIME SPREE
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
“Not My President! Not My President!” Day after day, in cities from coast to coast, the chanting mobs of rioters have illegally blocked streets and freeways, set fires, thrown Molotov cocktails, injured police officers, destroyed property, and defaced public buildings with graffiti. Portland, Oregon, a bastion of “progressive” Democrats, has been the epicenter of much of the violent action aimed at president-elect Donald Trump. Of course, as we have previously reported, not only did most of the Portland rioters who were arrested fail to register to vote, a large percentage of them appear to be professional, paid protesters.Many of them, no doubt, were hired in response to the advertisements for paid anti-Trump protesters that appeared on Craigslist and other media in Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, New York, and elsewhere. Many of these “spontaneous” protests/riots would not have occurred without organized efforts involving hundreds of buses transporting thousands of protesters/rioters, many of whom appear to have traveled across state lines.Many of the anti-Trump rioters, then, would appear not only to have violated state laws against rioting and inciting to riot, but also federal law against the same crime. Specifically, the rioters could be (and should be) charged under Title 18 U.S. Code § 2101, which provides(a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent —(1) to incite a riot; or(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot....Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.The definition section of 18 U.S. Code § 2102 defines the crime of rioting this way:(a) As used in this chapter, the term “riot” means a public disturbance involving (1) an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons, which act or acts shall constitute a clear and present danger of, or shall result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual or (2) a threat or threats of the commission of an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons having, individually or collectively, the ability of immediate execution of such threat or threats, where the performance of the threatened act or acts of violence would constitute a clear and present danger of, or would result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual.Obviously, the anti-Trump rioters who were arrested for starting fires and committing other acts of violence and public disturbance should be prosecuted under applicable state laws, and those who traveled interstate to do the same should also be prosecuted under federal law as well. But what about the organizers of the riots, those who hired the rioters and transported the perpetrators across state lines to engage in this criminal activity? Are they not also culpable under the “aid and abet” provisions cited above? Are they not also liable for prosecution under the federal conspiracy statute (18 U.S. Code § 371) which provides:If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.The Obama Department of Justice had no problem with charging Oregon ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond — respected, hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens — with terrorism and arson, for accidentally burning a few acres of “public land” while carrying out a controlled burn on their own land. The Obama/Lynch DOJ prosecuted these dangerous “terrorists” and threw them into federal prison. (See here and here).When supporters of the Hammonds, led by Nevada ranching family members Ammon and Ryan Bundy peacefully occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in protest earlier this year, the Obama administration mobilized all its resources in response, including an ambush that resulted in the shooting death of Hammond supporter Robert LaVoy Finicum.The Obama administration and its media allies were stunned a few weeks ago when an Oregon jury acquitted the Bundy brothers and their five additional co-defendants of all charges, including charges of conspiracy to use “force, intimidation, and threats” against federal employees. Will the Obama/Lynch DOJ show any similar zeal to prosecute the thugs who carried out the violent riots in Portland, Oregon — or in the many other venues around the country? Will they prosecute the co-conspirators who financed and planned the riots? That is highly unlikely, since the financiers of the “#NotMyPresident” anti-Trump rallies are some of the Democrat Party’s biggest donors. Heading the list of the Rioters-R-Us financiers is top Obama/Clinton fundraiser George Soros (shown at right), the Daddy Warbucks of all causes socialist and subversive.Over the past couple of decades, the hedge fund billionaire and globalist gadfly has poured hundreds of millions of dollars of his ill-gotten gains into hundreds of organizations and dozens of schemes aimed at empowering global government through the United Nations and destroying our constitutional limitations on government. Here is a short list of the many violent, illegal, and/or unethical rent-a-mob actions and Astroturf “movements” for which “philanthropist” George Soros should be called to account:• The recent anti-Trump riots have been reliably reported as the handiwork of paid “protesters” organized by MoveOn.org, Planned Parenthood, #BlackLivesMatter, and other groups that have been heavily funded by Soros.• The violent #BlackLivesMatter riots that have wracked America and fomented racial turmoil since the Ferguson, Missouri police shooting have been funded with tens of millions of dollars from Soros' foundations.• The WikiLeaks e-mails have exposed the Soros funding of the United Nations/Obama administration scheme for flooding the United States and Europe with unvetted Muslim “refugees.”• Soros was a principal funder for the August 28, 2016 protest/rally in Washington, D.C. to boost the Obama/UN refugee/migration plan.• Top Hillary Clinton Campaign and Democratic National Committee operatives have been exposed in the undercover videos by Project Veritas boasting of their illegal activities, including voter fraud, inciting riots, and instigating violence at Trump rallies. Soros’ funding ties to these operations and his past funding of similar illicit activities indicate that, at the very least, he be investigated for possible prosecution regarding these serious crimes as well.Various organizations, including those funded by Soros, have announced plans for massive demonstrations leading up to, and on, Inauguration Day, January 21. Based upon the rhetoric of the organizers and the recent record of their activities across the country, there is very good reason to believe that these upcoming “protests” will be as violent and lawless as those we have already witnessed.George Soros has been allowed to operate above the law for too long. It is time that he — and other uber-rich activist financiers like him — be put on notice that they will be held accountable for funding criminal activity. These “Lords of Chaos” must find out that they too are subject to the same rule of law that is binding on the rest of us mere mortals.Related articles:
“WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS”: NEW YORK’S GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO UNLEASHES WAR ON TRUMP’S LAW & ORDER
“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday announced plans to create a new hate-crimes unit in the state police and legal assistance for immigrants targeted for deportation or discrimination. …“The legal assistance will take the form of a public-private legal defense fund run by the New York State Office for New Americans, according to a Cuomo spokeswoman. …“Mr. Cuomo also said he hopes to expand the state’s human-rights law, which bars discrimination based on age, race, sexual orientation and other categories, to all students in New York. It currently only grants such protections to private-school students.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo seems to be blind to the violence from the Donald Trump protester movement.
“‘The ugly political discourse of the election did not end on Election Day,’ Cuomo, a Democrat, told the well-known African-American congregation. ‘In many ways it has gotten worse, (growing) into a social crisis that now challenges our identity as a state and as a nation and our people.’”
“‘If there is a move to deport immigrants, then I say start with me,’ Cuomo said, to the mostly black congregants of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City, the Wall Street Journal reported. ‘If we deport immigrants then I ask, ‘Who is safe and who will be left?’ Because we are all immigrants. If we deport immigrants then the only ones left will be the Iroquois, the Sioux and the Cherokee and the Apaches.”

WHILE ITALY DESCENDS INTO CHAOS, POPE FRANCIS DENOUNCES “EPIDEMIC OF ANIMOSITY” AGAINST MUSLIM MIGRANTS~POPE GIVES PRIESTS FALSE RIGHT TO FORGIVE ABORTION

Pope denounces “epidemic of animosity against Muslim migrants
“We see, for example, how quickly those among us with the status of a stranger, an immigrant, or a refugee, become a threat, take on the status of an enemy. An enemy because they come from a distant country or have different customs. An enemy because of the color of their skin, their language or their social class. An enemy because they think differently or even have a different faith.”This is outstandingly disingenuous, and simply reflects the talking points of the European and North American elites — that opposition to the Muslim migrant influx is a manifestation of “racism” and “xenophobia,” when it is really a concern about jihad terror. Pope Francis would apparently prefer that Europeans and North Americans be murdered in jihad attacks than that Muslim migration be slowed or halted in an attempt to prevent this.“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)“The pope has spoken out against an ‘epidemic of animosity’ against immigrants and other faiths,” by Philip Pullella, Reuters, November 19, 2016:

Italy: “Give us back our mosques or we will pray to Allah in the Vatican”
THEY TELL US WITHOUT EQUIVOCATION EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT AND HOW THEY INTEND TO GET IT, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THE DENIAL AND APOLOGETICS BY WESTERN ELITES IN THE MEDIA, GOVERNMENT, ENTERTAINMENT, ETC. SO VERY CONTEMPTIBLE.
ITALY: “GIVE US BACK OUR MOSQUES OR WE WILL PRAY TO ALLAH IN THE VATICAN”
The Pope should welcome them into the Vatican and give them a church to pray in. After all, he just said: “We see, for example, how quickly those among us with the status of a stranger, an immigrant, or a refugee, become a threat, take on the status of an enemy. An enemy because they come from a distant country or have different customs. An enemy because of the color of their skin, their language or their social class. An enemy because they think differently or even have a different faith.”The Pope doesn’t want to be thought of us one who thinks of Muslims as “an enemy because they think differently or even have a different faith,” does he? Open up the Vatican to Muslims, Pope Francis!“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)“Muslims in Italy: ‘Give Us Back Our Mosques or We Will Pray to Allah in the Vatican,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, November 10, 2016:Despite a major Muslim protest at the Colosseum against the closure of illegal mosques, Rome police have continued shutting down so-called “garage mosques,” and now Muslims are threatening to invade Saint Peter’s Basilica to pray there.This week, authorities closed down another makeshift mosque in Rome for failure to meet building norms and for non-compliance with safety standards, the sixth such mosque-closing in the last months.In response, Muslims in Rome have threatened to invade the Vatican to pray in Saint Peter’s Basilica, which Italian media are calling Islamic “blackmail.”“As many as 300 people can pray here; where will we go if it’s closed?”, said a young Muslim man identified only as “Hussein,” who works in a hardware store not from one of the “Islamic centers” that police have closed.This center is located in the eastern suburbs, a district where half of the inhabitants are Muslims and the heart of the Islamic protest against the closure of Islamic places of worship.“We live here, we work here, we cannot go to pray in Parioli [the other side of town],” says Anwar, the president of a neighborhood prayer hall.“The problem must be solved at the social and political level,” said Bachcu, the organizer of the Coliseum protest. “Continuing with the closings will not solve anything. A prayer room cannot be closed due to a problem in urban planning. Prayer is our fundamental right and if they insist on shutting down the mosques, we will pray in the streets,” he said.A number in Rome’s Muslim community have suggested staging a more provocative protest in the form of a “flash mob.”“They wanted to go and pray ‘Allahu Akbar’ throughout the city, all the way to the Vatican,” said Bachcu. “In the end we managed to stop them, but if they start these initiatives, what do we do?”Last month, thousands of Muslims gathered outside the Roman Colosseum to protest the closures of a number of “garage mosques,” purportedly to avoid young people becoming radicalized.During the demonstration, an imam led the group in chanting “Allahu Akbar,” as they prostrated themselves on the ground….

after horror knife fight
“We will send 150 more soldiers to Milan to support the police, who are already operating at the highest level,” — Angelino Alfano, Interior minister
MIGRANT CRISIS IN MILAN: 150 SOLDIERS ORDERED INTO CHAOS-HIT CITY AFTER HORROR KNIFE FIGHT
By Rehema Figueiredo and Maria Ortega, The Express, Nov 21, 2016THE ITALIAN government is planning to send in 150 soldiers into Milan over claims the city is at breaking point because of an influx of migrantsAngelino Alfano, Italy’s Interior minister is sending in troops to deal with the migrantsInterior minister, Angelino Alfano, added he would double the number of officers in the army to handle the chaos.Mr Alfano said: “We will send 150 more soldiers to Milan to support the police, who are already operating at the highest level.“When I became minister there were 400 military officers. The goal is to double that number.”The minister was speaking at a security summit in Milan where the city’s mayor, Giuseppe Sala, said he begged the government to intervene after the city became overrun with migrants.Mayor Sala said: “We are working to prevent and take action where necessary, so we asked the government to increase the number of soldiers that are already in the city.”During the summit, which was held in the Palazzo Marino, it was also decided that military will be redirected from Rome to the city to deal with the crisis.Italian police are already stretched to capacityThe city of Milan is reaching breaking pointThe mayor and government minister said the army will be in charge of “supervision of sensitive sites” while police will look after other key places such as the main train station where migrant gangs gather.Mayor Sala said: “We believe in the use of mixed patrols and more military officers will strengthen those forces in the most difficult routes and meeting places.”The announcement comes after a knife fight broke out between migrants from the Philippines in the city.The government says Milan has already had more than its quota of migrantsThe mayor also announced he his halting all new arrivals of migrants in the city until the situation is under control.Mr Alfano said the city had “already done its part” to help deal with the migrant crisis and Italy needed a more coordinated effort between cities to make sure all were pulling their weight.He added: “It has reached its quota. There will be a stop to migrant arrivals. The weight of immigration feels heavy because there are municipalities that do not accept migrants and others have to cope. We’ll try to get them to work together.”Italy’s Interior Minister has said no more migrants can enter the city
