WND EXCLUSIVE

NOW OBAMA TARGETS YOUR FEDEX, UPS PACKAGES

Shipper warns move ‘has potential to threaten privacy of all customers’

The Obama administration is demanding the nation’s two biggest shipping companies police the contents of Americans’ sealed packages, and a FedEx spokesman is warning that the move “has the potential to threaten the privacy of all customers that send or receive packages.”

Wants your complete cooperation.

FedEx and UPS are in the Justice Department’s cross-hairs for not flagging shipments of illegally prescribed drugs the companies say they had no way of knowing were in their possession.

Criminal charges could be coming against the carriers, even though the government has not alleged any deliberate wrongdoing by the companies.

FedEx spokesman Patrick Fitzgerald said his company has a 40-year history of actively assisting the government crackdown on any criminal conduct, but he told WND this probe was very different from the start.

“What is unusual and really disturbing is it became clear to us along the way that FedEx was being targeted for some level criminal activity as it relates to these medicines that are being shipped from pharmacies, and we find it to be completely absurd because it’s really not our role,” Fitzgerald said. “We have no way of knowing what is legal and not within the packages that we’re picking up and delivering in this situation.”

“At the heart of the investigation are sealed packages that are being sent by, as far as we can tell, licensed pharmacies. These are medicines with legal prescriptions written by licensed physicians. So it’s difficult for us to understand where we would have some role in this. We are a transportation company that picks up and delivers close to 10 million packages every day. They are sealed packages, so we have no way of knowing specifically what’s inside and we have no interest in violating the privacy rights of our customers,” Fitzgerald said.

In addition to the unrealistic expectation that the federal government seems to have for the companies to know what’s in every package, Fitzgerald said protecting the rights of customers is paramount and the issues go hand-in-hand.

Wants to stop
illegal shipping
of drugs?

“They clearly are attempting to put some responsibility for the legality of the contents of these packages. That’s why for us it goes far beyond even just the online pharmacy situation. This really has a chilling effect. It has the potential to threaten the privacy of all customers that send or receive packages via FedEx because the government is assigning a role on us as law enforcement or taking on their role in a way that is not appropriate,” Fitzgerald said.

FedEx sought to diffuse the standoff by offering to stop doing business with any pharmacies that the government suspected to be involved in illegal activities. The Justice Department declined, citing the potential for the pharmacies to sue over a lack of due process.

“If the government were to come to us and give us the name of a customer that’s engaged in some level of illegal activity, we can immediately stop shipping for that customer. We will not tolerate any illegal activity within our networks,” Fitzgerald said. “What we want here is a solution that will apply for the entire industry and serve the public’s interest. That’s why we find it completely absurd and, to a large degree, stunning that the government is not working with us on that solution as they have with other problems in the past. As long as they’re not doing that, there’s really no solution even if they were to pursue an investigation or criminal charges against a specific company. There needs to be an industry-wide solution that will put a stop to this problem.”

That leaves FedEx and UPS with the task of stopping illegal shipments from sources the government will not divulge.

“The comparison that we’ve made is a no-fly list. It’s as if the government were to go to major commercial airlines and accuse them of some level of criminal activity if they were to allow somebody on the no-fly list onto one of their planes without providing them a no-fly list,” Fitzgerald said. “What we want here is the no-fly list for online pharmacies. If they are aware of some level of illegal activity by some number of pharmacies, simply provide us that list and we will stop providing service. It’s a very simple solution.”

Elections have consequences.

Fitzpatrick said no other private carriers are being targeted by the Justice Department, and he has no evidence to suggest this probe is designed to boost the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service at the expense of private competitors.

UPS is currently negotiating a settlement with the government, but FedEx is fighting this all the way.

“Settlement is not an option for us when there’s no illegal activity on our part,” Fitzpatrick said.

Daily Mail, UK: Bible’s devil resembles Obama

Huh? What?

I knew I couldn’t be the only one who saw this. Thank you Daily Mail, for confirming my eyesight. ~ TD  

(Some believe the resemblance may be more the skin deep.)

Which one is real, and which one is MEMOREX?

Why does the devil in ‘The Bible’ look exactly like President Obama?

By JAMES NYE  PUBLISHED: 02:08 EST, 18 March 2013

Sunday evening’s episode of the History Channel’s hit series ‘The Bible’ threw up an awkward coincidence when viewers noticed that Satan bore a remarkable resemblance to President Obama.

Twitter exploded into life during the airing of the latest edition of the Mark Burnett-produced series with most noting the striking similarities between the 44th President and the devil played by actor Mehdi Ouzaani.

The show has been a surprise hit in the ratings, with the religious mini-series attracting 13.1 million viewers on Wednesday – topping television leviathan American Idol’s 12.8 million viewers on Wednesday.

Right-wing commentator and radio-host Glenn Beck first pointed out the eerie similarity on Saturday, tweeting, ‘Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on History Channel looks exactly like That Guy?’

Others were simply struck by the clear physical match.

While Matthew Gaudet commented, ‘Watching The Bible series on the History channel and noticed the guy playing the role of Satan, looks strikingly similar to Obama.’

The unfortunate incident bares comparison with HBO’s infamous inclusion of a fake George W. Bush head impaled onto a stick during the background of a Season 1 Game of Thrones episode.

When the incident went viral, the network announced it was pulling the offending episode – from its rotation, freezing shipments of DVD box sets and halting sales on iTunes until the embarrassing blunder had been fixed.
‘We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste,’ HBO said in a statement.

‘We made this clear to the executive producers of the series, who apologized immediately for this careless mistake.

‘We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and have halted all future shipments of the DVDs, removed it from our digital platforms and will edit the scene for all future airings on any distribution domestic or international.’

HBO and the show’s creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, apologized for the incident.

Mr Benioff and Mr Weiss, who noted the appearance in the series’ DVD commentary, insist it wasn’t a political statement – just a prop.

It remains to be seen whether this particular presidential mishap will create a similar backlash against the wildly popular mini-series.

The Mark Burnett-produced program retells the stories from the scriptures in a scripted format, from Genesis through to Revelation, the last book of the New Testament.

The miniseries’ popularity is somewhat of a mystery. For one, the drama wasn’t a hit with television critics, receiving a mediocre score of 44 on the Metacritic site.

‘As a cable series, The Bible lacked the ready-made, large scale promotional platform and popular lead-in that can drive strong ratings for a new show on a major broadcast network, of the kind NBC was, for many years,’ writes a columnist in The Washington Times.

Indeed, Burnett told Entertainment Weekly that the series’ success seemed almost preordained while it was being made.

‘The hand of God was on this,’ he said in an interview before the show’s premiere. ‘The edit came together perfectly, the actors came together perfectly, it just comes to life.’

Mr Burnett, who is most famous for creating reality shows such as Survivor and produced The Bible along with his actress wife Roma Downey, described a number of ‘weird things’ which drew the attention of cast and crew during filming.

In one scene, filmed during a still night on the edge of the desert, Jesus tells the priest Nicodemus, ‘The Holy Spirit is like the wind.’

According to Mr Burnett: ‘At that moment, a wind, like as if a 747 was taking off, blew his hair, almost blew the set over and sustained for 20 seconds across the desert.

‘Everyone just looked at everyone like, ‘What just happened?’

The Bible is airing on the History Channel in two-hour chunks on Sunday nights, and has been the surprise winner in its timeslot.

The series will air its finale on March 31, Easter Sunday.

“I’m a millionaire because I had an abortion”: Abortion and Moloch

“Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.” -Leviticus 18:21

In the Old Testament, Gehenna was a valley by Jerusalem, where apostate Israelites and followers of various pagan gods sacrificed their children by fire (2 Chr. 28:3, 33:6; Jer. 7:31, 19:2–6).

One of those gods was Moloch (aka Molech, Molekh, Molok, Molek, Molock, Moloc, Melech, Milcom or Molcom), an ancient Ammonite god who demanded a particular kind of propitiatory child sacrifice by parents.

An 18th-century German illustration of Moloch as an enormous hollow statue of a bull with fire burning within.

The Ammonites or children of Ammon were an ancient nation described in the Old Testament to be located east of the Jordan River, Gilead, and the Dead Sea, in present-day Jordan. For that matter, the chief city of that ancient country was situated in the same place as today’s Ammon, the capital of Jordan.

Moloch worship was practiced not just by the Ammonites, but also by the Canaanites, Phoenician and related cultures in North Africa and the Levant. (Levant refers to today’s Middle East — Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Cyprus, southern Turkey, northwestern Iraq and the Sinai Peninsula.) The worship included parents sacrificing their children by burning them alive to Moloch.

According to medieval French rabbi Rashi (acronym for RAbbi SHlomo Itzhaki), “Moloch … was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.”

Excavations of a 1400-1250 BC temple at Amman by Australian archeologist John Basil Hennessy in 1966 found evidence of human and animal sacrifice by fire. Hennesy reported his findings in the Palestine Exploration Quarterly (1966). On p. 162, Hennessy writes:”Two outstanding features associated with the use of the temple were the enormous quantities of animal, bird and human bones and the abundant evidence of fire…. There can be little doubt that the temple was associated with a fire cult.” In a private communication with G.J. Wenham, Hennessy wrote that “At least 75% of them (the bones found) belong to children between the ages of 3 and 14, or thereabouts.”

Flash forward to February 5, 2012 — to the Satanic halftime entertainment ceremony at the 2012 Super Bowl, in which Madonna decked herself out as a high priestess from Hell:

Does that head-dress look familiar to you?

Why, it’s the head of Baphomet! — the official symbol of the Church of Satan, used by Satanists as a representation of the Devil.

Wait!

Baphomet, too, looks familiar!

Why, it’s none other than that ol’ Ammonite god demon, Moloch!

l to r: Moloch, Baphomet, Madonna

What’s a child-sacrifice god demon doing in contemporary America? Who are the children being “burnt” alive? Who are the heartless parents offering their children as propitiatory (appeasing; to gain favor) sacrifice to Moloch, in whatever “new” guise and by whatever “new” name?

The answer was blurted out by this middle-aged woman (below) on January 26, 2013, in San Francisco.

As recounted by Jill Stanek, it was the Walk for Life in San Francisco. Russell Hunter was one of the pro-life volunteers standing behind the police-protected guardrail surrounding a jumbo-tron from World Life Organization and Created Equal , showing a looped 2-minute video of the graphic reality of abortion.

Russell was approached by the woman in the black cap, a remorseless abortee. Justifying the abortion murder of her unborn child, the woman declared:

“I’m a millionaire because I had an abortion when I was 18!”

Here’s the video:

When Russell rightly called the mother out as having committed “human sacrifice” to the god of wealth, she further rationalized killing her unborn child, saying she was 18 at the time and in an abusive relationship. Not only did she become a millionaire “because” she had an abortion, she added, “I got a college degree from Berkeley and a master’s degree!” Because, of course, women simply cannot get a college education or achieve financial success if they have children. [Snark]

There you have it.

Her abortion — the propitiatory sacrifice of her child to Moloch — gained her the divine demonic favors of two college degrees from the prestigious University of California, Berkeley, and a million dollars.

Kind of gives a new perspective to this well-known gruesome photo of a dime and the tiny severed arms of an aborted tiny human being. The dime is meant to show the size of the unborn, but in the context of Moloch, the image now has an added import.

In the 40 years since Roe v. Wade, more than 54.5 million American babies were murdered through abortion. That’s more than the population of the following countries (a select list):

• South Africa, pop. 51.77 million
• South Korea, pop. 50 million
• Columbia, pop. 46.89 million
• Spain, pop. 46.815 million
• Argentina, pop. 40.117 million
• Canada, pop. 35 million
• Iraq, pop. 33.33 million
• Venezuela, pop. 28.9 million
• Afghanistan, pop. 25.5 million
• Australia, pop. 22.881 million
• Netherlands, pop. 16.775 million
• Belgium, pop. 11.139 million
• Greece, pop. 10.815 million

Abortion is the modern-day child sacrifice to Moloch.

I now better know why Dr. Patricia Lohr, a leading abortionist in the United Kingdom, says killing unborn is “extremely gratifying,” and why Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, a lesbian Episcopal priest, calls abortion “a blessing.“

But the “blessing” is not of God, but from a demon.

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” – Matthew 16:26

Blaspheme like it’s 2008: Obama compared to Jesus Christ, again

For a political party that’s uniquely hostile to Christianity but not other religions, it is strange to say the least that the Democrats don’t hesitate to invoke the Lord’s name when it suits their purpose. The best case in point is the Democrats’ deification of Obama in 2008.

Writing for WND, Sept. 3, 2012, Drew Zahn reminds us of these grotesque examples:

• A website in 2008, which called itself “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?,” carried this quote: “OBAMA BE THY NAME, THY CHANGE WILL COME, THY WILL BE DONE …”

• In an interview with the Associated Press, British pop singer Sting said Obama could be the divine answer to the world’s problems: “In many ways, he’s sent from God, because the world’s a mess.”

• Maggie Mertens, associate editor of the student newspaper Smithsophian at Massachusetts’ Smith College, wrote that “I will follow him” because “Obama is my Jesus”.

• An artist, Michael D’Antuono, painted a portrait of Obama in a Christ-like pose with a crown of thorns.

• Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan declared that when Obama talks, “the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”

• Even the Dutch were similarly stricken with the messianic zeal. Extolling Obamacare, an editorial in the Dutch newspaper Politiken in 2009 actually declared that “Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus.”

• Obama himself encouraged the idolatry. In a speech on January 7, 2008,  at Dartmouth College just before the New Hampshire Primary, the POS told the gullible students: “A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote” for Obama.

Flash forward to today. To quote Yogi Bera, it’s déjà vu all over again.

The streets surrounding the 2012 Democratic National Convention site are dotted with vendors selling Obama-themed merchandise. David Weigel of Slate.com came across a photo calendar made by James Hickman and being hawked by Hickman’s nephew.

Weigel writes that most of the calendar’s months are filled with photos of Obama and factoids about the history of black Americans, but for the August entry (the month of Obama’s birth), the page features Obama’s purported short-form birth certificate and the words, “Heaven Sent: For God so loved the world, that he have his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life – John 3:16.”

John 3:16 refers to Jesus Christ as the Son of God. But the calendar, with Obama’s purported birth certificate and a photo of the POS with sunlight streaming down on his profile, implies the “heaven sent” is not Jesus, but Obama.

In a separate video posted by James Hickman, he urges Americans “to get out and vote for” Obama and that “I give up love and everything to Obama.” Hickman’s speech is immediately followed by Obama adoring signs: “I love you President Obama! God bless you!” and “God has spoken … another 4 yrs!”

I have a better Bible quote for Hickman and all the Obama idolators:

“And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.” -2 Corinthians 11:14

Breitbart’s Last Column – The Vetting Begins

Wow!  Don’t miss it!

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/03/04/obama-alinsky-love-song

~LTG

Here’s an excerpt:

“In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side.

Obama was not only in the audience, but also took the stage after one performance, participating in a panel discussion that was advertised in the poster for the play. [...]

That’s The Love Song of Saul Alinsky. It’s radical leftist stuff, and it revels in its radical leftism.

And that’s Barack Obama, our president, on the poster.

This is who Barack Obama was. This was before Barack Obama ran for Congress in 2000—challenging former Black Panther Bobby L. Rush from the left in a daring but unsuccessful bid.

This was also the period just before Barack Obama served with Bill Ayers, from 1999 through 2002 on the board of the Woods Foundation. They gave capital to support the Midwest Academy, a leftist training institute steeped in the doctrines of — you guessed it! — Saul Alinsky, and whose alumni now dominate the Obama administration and its top political allies inside and out of Congress.”

Read the rest of Andrew Breitbart’s last column here.

Saul Alinsky, Obama’s mentor in “community organizing,” dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to Lucifer, aka Satan.

Words of Warning from a Founding Father

“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” –Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781

In other words, our Founders had a proper conception of Liberty as freedom that is made possible only with morality. Without a firm foundation in morality, freedom becomes license.

Contrast Thomas Jefferson’s words with those of Obama’s and the Left’s political guru, Saul Alinsky:

Alinsky so admired Satan that he dedicated his book on community organizing, Rules for Radicals, to the fallen angel. Like all Leftists, Alinsky could only conceive liberty to be freedom from all authority and all constraints — except his and the Left’s authority, of course.

And so, it’s really not so much that the Left have problems with authority. It is that they want to be the authority — to be as gods, which exactly was the First Sin of the apostate angel and of our first parents in that garden….

Alas, that is not freedom. Desiring to be free from his Creator, the rebel instead found eternal misery in his own grandiosity. In John Milton’s immortal words:

“Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell.”

And Hell’s exactly where Alinsky hoped to go and where, no doubt, he is.

~Eowyn

Obama’s Mentor, Saul Alinsky, Was a Luciferian

Barack Obama began his political career by being a “community organizer” in Chicago. After that, his political rise was dizzying — from the Illinois state legislature to the U.S. Senate, and then to the White House.

Saul Alinsky

Saul Alinsky (1909-1972), the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, wrote the book, literally, on community organizing and, as such, is the guru of all “community organizers” — an innocuous term for what Marxists used to call “agitprop” or agitators-propagandists. Alinsky was not the first to realize that successful Marxist revolutions depend on organizational prowess, but he was the first to write a “how to” organizational manual for aspiring Marxist revolutionaries in the United States — the now famous Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals (1971).

Alinsky’s ideas have been used by the Left in inner cities and college campuses. Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis at Wellesley College was on Alinsky. So influential is Alinsky that Time magazine once wrote that “American democracy is being altered by Alinsky’s ideas.” Even conservative author William F. Buckley said Alinsky was “very close to being an organizational genius.” Alinsky biographer Sanford Horwitt claims that not only did Obama follow Alinsky’s teachings as a Chicago-based community organizer, Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was influenced by those teachings.

Given all that, it should give us pause to know that Alinsky was an admirer of Lucifer — the rebel angel so full of pride that he thought himself to be “as God” — whom Jesus said “fell as lightning” and so became Satan.

To begin with, Alinsky dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals, to Lucifer!

There’s more.

Alinsky so admired Lucifer he wanted to join Satan in Hell.

In 1972, Playboy magazine did an interview with Saul Alinsky. Toward the end of the long interview, Alinsky was asked about death and the afterlife. Although Alinsky professed agnosticism about the existence of God, he said he was brought up by orthodox Jews and considered himself to be a devout Jew until the age of 12, after which he “went through some pretty rapid withdrawal symptoms and kicked the habit.” Nevertheless, he told Playboy, “But I’ll tell you one thing about religious identity, whenever anyone asks me my religion, I always say—and always will say— Jewish.”

The Playboy interviewer then asked Alinsky: “Do you believe in any kind of afterlife?”

This was Alinsky’s response:

“ALINSKY: Sometimes it seems to me that the question people should ask is not “Is there life after death?” but “Is there life after birth?” I don’t know whether there’s anything after this or not. I haven’t seen the evidence one way or the other and I don’t think anybody else has either. But I do know that man’s obsession with the question comes out of his stubborn refusal to face up to his own mortality. Let’s say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

PLAYBOY: Why?

ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I’ve been with the have-nots. Over here, if you’re a have-not, you’re short of dough. If you’re a have-not in hell, you’re short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I’ll start organizing the have-nots over there.

PLAYBOY: Why them?

ALINSKY: They’re my kind of people.“

Saul Alinsky died a few months after the interview, on June 12, 1972, and no doubt got his wish.

The Satanic Rothschild

WARNING: When I first saw the pictures that you’ll see below, I felt sick to my stomach. It wasn’t a physical sickness but a spiritual sense of such palpable evil that my soul felt ill. Say a prayer for God’s protection before you read further. I recommend the powerful Prayer to St. Michael, HERE.

Anyone who’s been on the Internet cannot avoid coming across dark warnings about the Illuminati — a purported conspiratorial organization that acts as a shadowy “power behind the throne” or “the power that be” (TPTB), a modern incarnation or continuation of the Enlightenment-era Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society founded on May 1, 1776. It is said that the Illuminati are the masterminds who actually control world affairs through governments and corporations, eventuating in the establishment of a one-world government — the New World Order.

Membership of the Illuminati variously is said to include the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Jesuits, the British Royal family, other European royal families, and a number of non-royal family bloodlines that include, most prominently, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. Here’s the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry on the Rothschild family:

The Rothschild family (known as The House of Rothschild, or more simply as the Rothschilds) is a European family of German [Ashkenazi] Jewish origin that established European banking and finance houses from the late eighteenth century. Five lines of the Austrian branch of the family were elevated into the Austrian nobility, being given hereditary baronies of the Habsburg Empire by Emperor Francis II in 1816. The British branch of the family was elevated into the British nobility at the request of Queen Victoria. It has been argued that during the 19th century, the family possessed by far the largest private fortune in the world, and by far the largest fortune in modern history.

Frederick Morton, in his 1962 book, The Rothschilds, gave an estimate of the Rothschild wealth at over $6 billion in 1850. The blogger who calls himself Markus Angelicus (the Angel Mark, most certainly a pseudonymous nom de plume) estimates that taking $6 billion (and assuming no erosion of the wealth base) and compounding that figure at various returns on investment (a conservative range of 4% to 8%) would suggest the following net worth of the Rothschild family enterprise, as of 1997:

• $1.9 trillion (@4%)
• $7.8 trillion (@5%)
• $31.5 trillion (@6%)
• $125,189.1 trillion (@7%)
• $491,409 trillion (@8%)

Some claim the Illuminati to be mainly if not wholly Jewish. Others, such as Henry Makow (who is a Jew), identify the Illuminati not with a particular racial or ethnic group but by their common spiritual perversity — Satanism. In Makow’s words:

The Illuminati consist of…some of the world’s richest families including the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers and the Windsors. While they pay lip service to religion, they worship Lucifer. Their agents control the world’s media, education, business and politics. These agents may think they are only pursuing success, but success literally means serving the devil.  Prisoners of their wealth, the Illuminati prefer hatred and destruction to Love. Understandably, they can’t go public with this. They pretend to be moral while working behind the scenes to degrade and enslave humanity in a “new world order.”

At this point you’re probably rolling your eyes and making the “ding-ding ding-ding ding-ding” Twilight Zone sound. Admittedly, while this mother of all conspiracy theories makes for interesting reading, I’d always retained my skepticism.

For one, conspiracy theories by their very nature are difficult, if not impossible, to prove/verify or disconfirm –  ”It’s secret ’cause it’s a conspiracy!” If you ask a conspiracy theorist (CT), “If it’s such a conspiracy, then how do you know all this?”, the CT either says “I just know” or “Well, TPTB leak clues and leave hints of their plans because they are so arrogant and cocky.” If you bring up a counter-argument such as “But how do you account for there being these powerful wealthy groups that don’t agree with each other?,” the CT replies, “You see, there are contending factions within TPTB.” And so on and so forth. In other words, the CT is always right no matter what, which makes the Illuminati conspiracy theory air- and water-tight, impervious to counter-evidence or counter-arguments.

The flawed epistemology of conspiracy theories such as the one about the Illuminati makes me all the more skeptical until I saw pictures of a Rothschild — the Baroness Philippine de Rothschild — in an article on Makow’s website.

The Baroness Philippine Mathilde Camille de Rothschild (born Paris, France, 22 November 1933) is the only daughter of the vintner Baron Philippe de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty and owner of the French winery Château Mouton Rothschild.

Rothschild entered her father’s wine business in the late 1970s. When Philippe died in 1988, Philippine inherited three winery estates in Bordeaux. At the time of her father’s death, the company sold 1.3 million cases of wine a year. By 2000, sales had almost doubled to 2.1 million cases. In 1999, sales amounted to around $155 million. Her personal wealth has been estimated at €190 million by Le Nouvel Economiste.

Below are photos of the Baroness. Note that in every picture she wears a heavy chainlinked gold necklace with a pendant. The pendant in the first pic below is a huge image of Baphomet, a pagan deity that, since the 19th century, has become  a figure or synonym of Satan.

The humanoid goat Baphomet figure was first drawn and popularized in 1854 by occultist Eliphas Lévi. In his book, Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (“Dogmas and Rituals of High Magic”), Lévi included an image he had drawn himself which he described as Baphomet and “The Sabbatic Goat” — showing a winged humanoid goat with a pair of breasts and a torch on its head between its horns.  Levi called his image “The Goat of Mendes.” Lévi’s Baphomet is the source of the later Tarot image of the Devil, in the Rider-Waite design. The symbol of the goat in the downward-pointed pentagram was adopted as the official symbol — called the Sigil of Baphomet — of the Church of Satan, and continues to be used among Satanists. [Source: Wikipedia]

Here are pics of Rothschild wearing pendants that are more stylized or abstract versions of the Baphomet:

The goat’s or ram’s horns

Rothschild wearing a pendant of a stylized Baphomet goat’s horns, with her second husband, Jean-Pierre de Beaumarchais

Here’s a gallery of 4 pics showing Rothschild wearing the Baphomet pendant from its most literal to more abstract representations. Remember that this woman is one of the wealthiest people on Earth who can wear any piece of jewelry she desires, but again and again she chooses to wear these big ugly Satanic pendants on big, heavy, gold chain necklaces.

Here’s a younger Rothschild wearing a pendant of an angel silhouette (remember that Lucifer and the other demons are fallen angels!). It’s interesting that as she grows older, she’s become bolder and more in-your-face with her Satanic jewelry, now wearing unmistakably Baphomet pendants as the one in the first pic above:
