Vatican Joins Some of the Largest Corporations to Promote an Inclusive ‘Reform’ of Capitalism
Members of the Council for "Inclusive" Capitalism, with Communist Pope Francis
The "alliance", led by Pope Francis and "Guardian" leaders of large multinationals, represents 500 companies with 200 million workers around the world.
PERHAPS THE COMMUNIST CHINESE MODEL OF "CAPITALISM" WILL BE IMPLEMENTED

Reforming the economic system to make it more equitable and sustainable. This is how the raison d’être of the Council of Inclusive Capitalism can be summarised.
The Vatican has joined this platform formed by leaders of some of the biggest multinational corporations such as Visa, Johnson&Johnson, BP, Allianz and Bank of America, as well as foundations and large global non-profit organizations.
The Council defines itself as a “partnership” and “alliance” that “signifies the urgency of joining moral and market imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity”.
In fact, Pope Francis stands out among the main leaders of the initiative, alongside Roman Catholic Cardinal Prefect of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development Peter Turkson, and a group of influential business leaders who call themselves “Guardians”.
According to the initiative, these Guardians coming from different businesses “have already committed to hundreds of measurable actions”.
The Council is formed by around 500 companies, which together represent 10.5 trillion dollars in assets under management and 200 million workers in over 163 countries.
“This Council will follow the warning from Pope Francis to listen to ‘the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’ and answer society’s demands for a more equitable and sustainable model of growth”, said the founder of the Council, Lynn Forester de Rothschild.
Francis, the "moral guide"
In 2013, Francis stated in the document Evangeli Gaudium, that “the market, by itself, cannot solve all problems”. Now, the highest representative of the Vatican, whose debt has been controversial to the point that some analysts say the institution is close to bankruptcy, is defined by the Council of Inclusive Capitalism as their “moral guide”.
“An economic system that is fair, trustworthy, and capable of addressing the most profound challenges facing humanity and our planet is urgently needed. You have taken up the challenge by seeking ways to make capitalism become a more inclusive instrument for integral human wellbeing”, the Pope told the Guardians.
The Council says it is “inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths” and invites other businesses and non-profit organizations to join the “moral guide of Pope Francis”.
The alliance will have one annual meeting between the Guardians and the Vatican representatives Francis and Cardinal Turkson.

“WILD PROTEST” IN WASHINGTON D.C. JANUARY 6, 2021 WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP & MANY CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTIC SPEAKERS
It is On! WildProtest For January 6th, 2021 in DC is ON

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The WILDPROTEST is on to Stop the Steal, the theft of the 2020 presidential election. The massive rally is being coordinated and is on for January 6th, 2021 on the Capitol steps in D.C. starting at 10 am, scheduled to go to 5 p.m. More info at www.wildprotest.com
On Monday, I heard it mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Today, Tuesday, it was highlighted on the Hannity show. The tech oligarchs and Media may censor Constitutionalists, but the American equivalent of the Samizdat find ways to get the word out.
This event is designed to protest the destruction of our Constitutional system, with the stolen election and attempted coup, designed and manipulated by domestic traitors and foreign actors, especially through control of the Tech Oligarchs and Fake News Media.
Second Amendment rights in particular, and the entire Bill of Rights in general, are under direct assault.
The First Amendment, while in force, did not anticipate the take over of the dominant media by forces inimical to the existence of the United States of America under Constitutional government.
I have been to these sort of events numerous times, starting in the 1970s, even a couple in Panama during the Civilista protests against Noriega.
Be prepared to go longer than 5 p.m. These events almost always go longer than planned. Speakers are often interrupted by applause. It takes time to get through the list. The speakers have been invited. They have passion. They have important things to say.
You will want to hear them.
I have seldom seen serious violence at similar events.
In the University riots in the 1970's a bit of tear gas, rocks were thrown, buildings taken over, some building fires, a couple of shots by police when they were trapped by the mob. Worst personal experience: trapped in ground floor/common areas of multi-story dormitory (Ogg Hall) when teargas had saturated that floor. Managed to bumble-stumble, crawl out, blind, from memory. It is torture to attempt to breathe in heavy, concentrated tear gas. A good friend, Bob Terry, with a gas mask, helped me the last few feet. A Goodman. Tear gas training in the Army, later, was mild in comparison.
I do not expect any violence, with President Trump as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. However, the DC local government is firmly in the hand of Deep-State types.
Always have an escape route planned. I recommend two: over the bridges to Virginia and the Mt. Vernon bike trail. The north one is past the Lincoln Memorial, over the memorial bridge to Arlington Cemetery. The south one is past the Jefferson Monument, north side of 395 bridge. Mt. Vernon bike trail goes directly to Reagan National Airport, turn left after crossing the Potomac. It may not be clearly marked. If you are willing to hike a few miles, you can use the reverse route to get to the Capitol.
I don't expect to use them. I expect the Metro to work properly.
You will have to wait to use restrooms/portapotties. This may become the biggest rally/protest/petition of the government ever seen in D.C.
Wear clothes appropriate to an outdoor event, boots you can hike in, comfortable clothes in layers. It will be cool to cold. Have personal property secured with lanyards or straps. Don't take things you cannot afford to lose. There is a possibility of rain/snow. Average rain days in January, in DC, are ten, three snow days in January on average. My parka is fairly waterproof and very warm. Prepare for the possibility of rain with some protective gear. Take some snacks and some water. The more you drink, the more you will need the restrooms. [The D.C Mayor is doing everything possible to make it as difficult as it can be for protestors, so come prepared.]
Be prepared to video/record, if at all possible. I will have a camera and a backup camera, as well as a phone and audio recorders.
Consider a bellyband or money belt or similar for ID/cash. At a minimum, use a zipped pocket, or better, an interior zipped pocket.
If the Metro goes down or is overwhelmed, it is about five miles to Reagan National, three miles to Arlington Cemetery over the Memorial bridge, from the Capitol. It is about a mile shorter going past the Jefferson monument over the north side of the 395 bridge over the Potomac to Reagan.
If you need resources, a ride, or are willing to help others, caravans and carpools are being arranged. From WILDPROTEST.COM:
Groups of patriots are setting up carpools and caravans across the US to join us in DC. Groups will be traveling through and Michigan, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Alabama, and more. Join the group to find routes and rides.
In a way, this is our version of Dunkirk, in the reverse. We will not be under attack, artillery fire, or bombardment from the air. We are going to the fight, instead of evacuating from it. It will take a massive movement mostly self-organized by the people, to get it done.
There is not a lot of time. People need to act now to get this done. People who cannot go can support people who can. If a patriot cannot spare the time, support someone who has the time to spare. I will see you there.
For the nay-sayers and defeatists.
If you are not willing to spend a few days to protest this usurpation now, you will not be willing to fight later.
This protest takes little courage. It takes few resources. It takes little time. Saying this protest will not be effective is an excuse to do nothing. At the minimum, the protest will put the plotters on notice.
The People see what you are doing. We will not be apathetic, compliant, and give up easily.
It is a bit like the Doolittle raid. Doing something to show we can. It may be more effective than that.
From Thomas Paine:
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
From Winston Churchill:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may. come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
This protest is at the early stages of the fight. We have been infiltrated. There are quislings in most institutions. Our children are being trained to hate the USA and the Constitution. The fight now is for hearts and minds, and to show we see the treachery.
Half of our countrymen are with us. A quarter of our countrymen are against us. A few of those against us control the dominant media and the tech empires. Much of the online support is for their side is from robots and bot farms. A quarter of citizens have no understanding of what is happening.
More resistance now means less, little, or no bloodshed later.
Iranian news agency: ‘Muslims love Jesus, too’

Ahlul Bayt News Agency paints a pretty picture of Islam’s love for Jesus. Here are a few items it left out:
Jesus is not the Son of God, belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, ‘Three’; desist — it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” — Qur’an 4:171
“It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35
Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger — they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157
Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are “disbelievers”: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” — Qur’an 5:17
Christians “forgot a good part” of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14
Muslims should not take Jews or Christians as friends: “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” — Qur’an 5:51
Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “The Jews call Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ” — Qur’an 9:30
Christians who do not become Muslims “are the most vile of created beings”: “Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6
Jesus’ mission was to proclaim the coming of Muhammad: “And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, ‘O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.’ But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, ‘This is obvious magic.’” — Qur’an 61:6
Muslims must fight against and subjugate Christians: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
“Muslims love Jesus, too; 6 Things you didn’t know about Prophet Jesus in Islam,” Ahlul Bayt News Agency, December 27, 2020:
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Christmas, as everyone knows, commemorates the birth of Jesus and is a major religious celebration for Christians around the world.
But what many people don’t know is that Jesus is an important figure in Islam, too, even though most Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas (though some, especially some American, do).
In honor of the holiday, here are six things you may not know about the role of Jesus — and his mother, Mary — in Islam:
Jesus, Mary, and the angel Gabriel are all in the Quran (as are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and a bunch of other Bible characters).
Muslims believe that Jesus (called “Isa” in Arabic) was a prophet of God, was born to a virgin (Mary), and will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and to defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal (“the false messiah”), also known as the Antichrist. All of which may sound pretty familiar to many Christians.
Mary (called “Maryam” in Arabic) has an entire chapter in the Quran named for her — the only chapter in the Quran named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the entire Quran: As noted in the Study Quran, “other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba.” Mary is mentioned more times in the Quran than in the entire New Testament.
Just as with all the other prophets, including Mohammed, Muslims recite, “Peace be upon him” every time they refer to Jesus.
Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles: The Quran discusses several of Jesus’s miracles, including giving sight to the blind, healing lepers, raising the dead, and breathing life into clay birds.
The story of Jesus’s birth as told in the Quran is also the story of his first miracle, when he spoke as an infant in the cradle and declared himself to be a prophet of God….
VA Senator RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR: Trump Must Pursue ALL Options to Stop the Steal
In this interview with The New American's Alex Newman, Virginia Senator Amanda Chase (Republican) explains that the 2020 election fraud by the Marxist-controlled Democrat Party must be opposed and defeated. For her vocal comments on this issue, Senator Chase has been targeted by the far-left establishment media, but she is not standing down. Instead, she's doubling down, running for governor of Virginia on a platform of restoring the Constitution and ensuring election integrity. 🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/
Court Strikes Cuomo’s COVID Order on Churches, Synagogues
BY TYLER O'NEIL
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
On Monday, a panel of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction against Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-N.Y.) COVID-19 orders placing strict limits on houses of worship in hot spots. The 2nd Circuit panel agreed with the Supreme Court that Cuomo’s order likely does not satisfy the high standard of strict scrutiny and therefore violates the First Amendment.
“No public interest is served by maintaining an unconstitutional policy when constitutional alternatives are available to achieve the same goal,” Judge Michael Park wrote in the opinion. “The restrictions challenged here specially and disproportionately burden religious exercise, and thus ’strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty.’ Such a direct and severe constitutional violation weighs heavily in favor of granting injunctive relief.”
In the 3-0 decision, the panel upheld the claims of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, the Orthodox Jewish group Agudath Israel of America, and two synagogues. The ruling enjoined Cuomo’s October 6 order capping attendance at “houses of worship.”
Cuomo capped attendance at either 10 people or 25 percent capacity, whichever is lesser, in “red” zones, and 25 people or 33 percent capacity in “orange” zones, even in buildings that seat hundreds.
While previous rulings had supported Cuomo’s order, the Supreme Court granted an injunction against the order by a 5-4 majority.
“In light of the Supreme Court’s decision, we hold that the Order’s regulation of ‘houses of worship’ is subject to strict scrutiny and that its fixed capacity limits are not narrowly tailored to stem the spread of COVID-19. Appellants have established irreparable harm caused by the fixed capacity limits, and the public interest favors granting injunctive relief,” the 2nd Circuit panel ruled.
In the opinion, Park noted that Cuomo “has not asserted that his categorization of businesses as ‘essential’ or ’non-essential’ was based on any assessment of COVID-19 transmission risk.” He also argued that Cuomo did not use data or compare religious worship with “essential” activities.
Cuomo has claimed that the Supreme Court’s ruling had no practical effect because some restrictions were lifted as COVID-19 outbreaks eased.
Avi Schick, a lawyer for Agudath Israel, said Monday’s decision “will be felt way beyond the COVID context. It is a clear statement … that government can’t disfavor religious conduct merely because it sees no value in religious practice.”
Randy Mastro, the diocese’s lawyer, said the diocese was “gratified,” and will welcome parishioners to mass “under strict protocols” that keep them safe.
