The Case of Abuse Of A Maid By Journalist Arun Sinha, Goa

2005-10-19T22:16:00.000+05:00

About a month or so back, I had reported an article in a Goan newspaper on the employment of minors as househelps - clearly constituting child abuse, and which is too often agravated by physical abuse (See here).

This is endemic specially in Bombay, although Goa is not exempt.

Recently, DNA Bombay reported that the Indian editor of a Goa quislingist newspaper, Arun Sinha, editor of the Navhind Times (navhindtimes.com) run by the Dempo family of traitors, was avoiding the police who were seeking him to investigate a case lodged by another journalist who took a minor child who fled from Sinha's house seeking shelter from abuse. It is alleged that the abuse is not merely physical but also sexual (DNA).

People who comment on this case concentrate on speculating whether or not Sinha is culpable of sexual abuse. I would put aside sexual abuse allegations for more detailed investigation, and concentrate on the incontrovertible crime of child abuse by way of employing a minor. It is sufficient that Sinha violated the law in this regard and is liable to the penalties.

Previously too, many months back, or even a year ago, I had commented on a similar case in Bombay, where, if I recall correctly, a policeman was accused of having sexually abused a minor employed by him as a domestic help. Then too I had commented that regardless of whether the sexual abuse occured or not, merely employment of a minor is criminal and requires punishment.

Or is it that Indian society, and Indianists society in Goa, has become blase and insouciant of the humanity of the sub-human poor that they cannot be agitated by these crimes?

Judicial Usurpations

2005-10-19T22:06:00.000+05:00

Judicial Usurpation is a phenomenon that is to be seen around the world.

I am here specifically speaking of the usurpation of Legislative authority by magistrates.

The recent days have seen the Bombay High Court and the Indian Supreme Court pass orders on various subjects that have been hailed by certain activist organisations as pathbreaking and necessary to defend, uphold or protect civil society and community resources.

One such ruling is the High Court judgement in the Mills Land Case.

What people ignore is that, even if the rulings are beneficial, the very arrogation of legislative function to itself by a court is worrying, because it subverts the democratic or constitutional process.

People are given to believe that the best recourse to their grievances is to hope in activist magistrates who boldly exceed their brief by creating law, amending law, etc.

I believe that if the situation on a particular subject is desperate, then it is necessary for the people to first put democratic pressure on the legislature and government, and if that fails, to resort to insurrections, such as the People Power rebellions of the Philippines that overthrew the Marcos dictatorship.

Despite the bloodshed and the disruption of civil life, such actions energize communities and the social discourse, and are essential to bonding individuals and clans into a cohesive civil society. It also rejuvenates the democratic process by reassuring the common people that democracy belongs with them as the last resort.

However, Judicial Activism as it is commonly called, or as I prefer to call it, Judicial Usurpation, deflects pressure to take such street actions, and delude people into a complacent indifferent and reliance on magistrates to set all things right.

What the apologists of this phenomena overlook are the facts that:

1. Such usurpation of legislative function, even for a good cause, is immoral and destructive of democracy and of sociogenesis.
2. It concentrates de facto absolute power in the hands of magistrates and exalts them above elected officers.
3. Corruption in the judiciary is rampant and endemic, and the apologists overlook this essential factor in judicial usurpations.

Judicial usurpation can be remedied by the simple procedure of magistrates referring questions of doubt in law to higher courts, such as the High Courts and the Supreme Court, and overall, by Courts referring these questions back to legislatures for clarifications.

Legislatures will need to take this issue in hand and legislate such a requirement - that the intent of the legislature is best defined by the legislature itself, and that defects in laws are best remedied by the legislature itself.

Lucio
[The simplest solution to the Mills Land controversy is to acknowledge the legal fact that these lands are owned by either the city or the state and given on lease for specific purposes and with stringent restrictive clauses that have been routinely and flagrantly breached; and that the State and the City Corporation can and must "Determine" or repossess these lands!]

The Hypocrisy of Frederick Forsyth

2005-10-18T11:28:00.000+05:00

I used to be an avid reader of Frederick Forsyth's books. And I came to look up to him when I found that we converged in our support for the attempt by Catholic Igbos to establish an independent Biafra carved out of Nigeria in the face of Muslim persecution.

Then, one day, I found a newspaper report of Forsyth denouncing the Irish Freedom Fighters as "Terrorists".

That is hypocrisy. One cannot support the Biafrans and oppose the Irish. Their causes are the same and equally just.

The Gerrymandering of Ireland

2005-10-18T10:28:00.000+05:00

It is part of the scheme of False Dichotomy to pretend to a sympathetic, humanist and unbiased judgement of events, their causes and results.

Thus for example in the Debate over English Occupied North Eire, these "moderates" have pretended to a balance by rejecting claims of gerrymandering as exaggerated, and to justify their "moderation" by a pious pretension to recognize and deplore gerrymandering on the local, councils level (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Northern_Ireland)

In doing so, they hypocritically overlook the fact that the very creation and maintenance of Occupied North Eire is an act of gerrymandering directed against the Irish nation.

The criminality of this is attenuated by the fact that, in order to render this bantustan "viable", two Irish majority counties have been clubbed with the four "colonist majority" counties. This is as if these Irishmen did not have any human rights, as if they were mere cattle! There is no talk about the criminal imposition upon hapless people who were herded like cattle into an English colony's pale merely in order to render it "viable"! If this is not unadulterated brigandery and thuggery, what is? But none of this registers on the minds and intelligence of the pious humbugs who shed crocodile tears for the Irish in order to delude and ambush them into letting down their guard and being coopted into the Kingdom of Satan!

Finally, it remains a fact that English and Scot colonists in Ireland can have no "democratic" rights in Ireland, and certainly, not against the native Irish. Therefore, there is no true Anglo-Scot colonist majority even in the "four counties"!

True vs. False Dichotomy

2005-10-18T09:49:00.000+05:00

There is a true and a false dichotomy. The true dichotomy is between good and evil, between the Kingdom of God and His Church - the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church - on one hand, and Satan and all man-made religions, "philosophies", ideologies and belief-systems, which together constitute his "Kingdom" on the other hand.

Our Lord warned us that the Kingdom of Satan cannot be divided against itself, and we must not let go of this truth, despite the opposite illusion of divisions within the ranks of the Kingdom of Satan, or we will lose ourselves, and eventually incurr eternal damnation.

It is Satan's constant endeavour to confuse and distract the Faithful by creating a False Dichotomy, a world of smoke and mirrors, with even passionate intersectarian killings. The biggest system of this false dichotomy is the Left vs. Right system. One the one hand, we are presented with Conservatives, Tories, Capitalists, Laissez-Fairists, Ayn-Randists, Civil Libertarians, Free-Enterprisists and Free-Marketists, with a "White Fascist Fringe" of Nazis, Mussolinians, and others, while on the other hand we are presented with Dirigists, Socialists, Communists, Owenians, Marxists, Anarchists, Maoists, Naxalites, Senderists, Zapatists, Sandinists, Trotskyists, Leninists, Stalinists, etc.

However, this dochotomy is false, and behind the scenes the "sects" are united and owe allegiance and take orders from their secret masters, the Priory or Occult Sanhedrin, implementing the Judaeo-Noahide-Masonic agenda of debasing the "goyim" and thereby preparing the way for the coming of the Jewish Antichrist and his World Jewish Empire.

That agenda has been far advanced already, with first Apostate England, and now its hellspawn, the U.S.A., a spinoff clone and successor-state being the prime military enforcer of the Kingdom of Satan on earth via the Noahide Agenda, resulting in the effective supplantation of Christendom by the West.

It must not be forgotten that when the Jews rejected and procured the murder of the Messiah at the hands of their Roman masters, and then were confronted with His Ressurection, and the establishment of the New Covenant, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, they immediately counter-organized, under the initiative of the Herodian dynasty, as Freemasonry, using their frontmen - Noahide, Judaizer and Proselyte - to conspire against the Church.

These conspirators, using women of the Herodian dynasty as bait, married into the Roman imperial dynasty, the Julio-Claudians, and subsequent dynasties, and instigated the Roman Emperors to persecute and suppress Christianity. That effectively ended with the accession of Constantinus Chlorinus, Emperor Constantine the Great.

However, this did not end Jewish conspiracies, and they went on to instigate several heresies, including the Mohammedan heresy which they birthed in Arabia.

In Europe, over the last millenium, they have actively conspired to subvert Christians, and to inaugurate heresies. It was the Jews and the Noahide-Freemasons who cultivated Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and other Deformers and persuaded them to apostatize and to become Indulgarians or Hedonists, and to war against Christ and Christendom, His Kingdom on Earth, born and being born.

In cahoots with the Protestants, with Cromwell and others, they forced European states to enfranchise the Jews.

In cahoots with the Protestants, they inspired and organized the French, Bolivarian and San-Martinian revolution that split Spain and Portugal into several banana republics that are easy prey to their Anglo-Masonic masters.

As part of this general culture of permissiveness and decadence deliberately fostered among the deluded "goyim" designed in order to bring about the World Jewish Empire, they inspired the German "philosophers" Nietzsche, the spiritual father of Hitlerism, Hegel, and others, who define Evolutionism and Modernism, socially, ideologicaly, politically and in religion, culminating in the Latrocinium of Vatican II, a worthy heir of Sirmium and of Trullo.

It has often happened, however, that the Conspiracies of the Jews have rebounded upon themselves. That, however, from their own viewpoint, is an acceptable price to pay.

Mohammed the Unprophet perpetrated genocide upon Arabian Jewish men and enslaved their women into his harems when they failed to fall down and worship their exalted pupil. But the perfidious heresy of Islam continues to be influenced and ruled, behind-the-scenes, by the Jews and Noahides through their "Sufi", or Islamo-Noahide, mutants, an integral part of occult Freemasonry.

Indeed, it is more than acceptable, it is essential, to justify the pretension, after the failure of the Sabbetai Zevi conspiracy, that the entire Jewish nation is the Messiah, suffering at the hands of the "goyim", persecution and even martyrdom, by way of the "Shoah" or "Holocaust" (which was apparently not "whole" enough, for we still have more than enough Jews to "re-establish" a Jewish State in the Holy Land on the pattern of Communist collectives, and to rule the world and its financial markets, and to bribe and corrupt the U.S.A. to legislate Noahidism and the birthday of the LubaWitch into law!).

Christians have been distracted by this False Dichotomy to take sides and to give up fighting for Christ and His Church by allurements to fight for "Freedom" or "Socialism" in the name of a false justice.

Christians have been distracted by this False Dichotomy to take sides and to give up fighting for Christ and His Church by allurements to fight for "Freedom" or "Socialism" in the name of a false justice.

Today, False Dichotomy is deliberately fostered by means of polarization of the world into pro- and anti-Bush camps, for and against his invasion of Iraq. Bush did not invade Iraq as a Crusader to recover and liberate the ancient Christian nations and lands of Hadiabene, Assyria and Chaldea, suffering under a millenia of Arab imperialism, colonism and genocide, but to eliminate the threat that Iraq represents to Israel.

Bush is the same person who signed into law the "Noahide Laws" so that the U.S.A. is now official a Jewish Theocratic state under the successors of the Baal LubaWitch.

Bush also signed into law Baal LubaWitch's birthday as "National Education Day".

By these acts, Bush has exposed himself as a Noahide and Freemason, and one utterly beyond pretension to be a "conservate Protestant Christian".

However, Christians must realize that our enemies are our enemies, regardless of anything else, and that our sole agenda is to further the Cause of Christ Jesus and His Kingdom.

We must not allow emotionalism to decoy us into an alliance with Abortionists, Free-Sexists, Sodomists, and other Satanist factions "opposed" to Bush but must anathematize all of them indiscriminately as aliens to the Kingdom of God, and doomed to damnation unless they submit to Christ and repudiate Satan, his pomps and all his works before their ends (Council of Florence, Decretum Cantate Domini).

Indeed, despite the passions, heat and dust of their play-acted quarrels, we must sedulously ignore these people and singlemindedly pursue and conform ourselves to the Kingdom of God and His justice.

We must remember the incidents in Christian history, when the Davidic Kings betrayed their confidence in God by relying on bribed Assyrians to break and overthrow the Aramite and Samaritan threats, and again by suborning themselves to Chaldea for protection against Assyria. The King of Juda even hosted pagan envoys and conducted them around his Palace, Armoury, Treasury, etc., for which God delivered the Israelites into the hands of the Chaldeans, and exiled them to Babylon.

Let us not make the fate of this stupidity our own!

Decolonizing Occupied Ireland

2005-10-18T00:38:00.000+05:00

I have posted the following text on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Northern_Ireland

Decolonization has been adopted by the U.N. as official policy, and has even been forced - such as for example, in the case of Guine Portuguesa ("Guinea Bissau"), where the U.N. 'denounced' the Government of Portugal for 'aggression' against the rebels! Let us also not forget the Pied Noirs of Algeria, who were left with no other option than to repatriate to Continental France. Why are the Anglo-Scotch colonists in Occupied Ulster an exemption to this? The Occupation is justified only on the basis of these colonists, who have no moral right to remain in Eire in this day and age.

If colonism is immoral, it is immoral everywhere, and by whomever practised. And colonists do not have a moral right to carve out bantustans for themselves on basis of pretended colonist-majority districts!

Why is it that the English imperial fiction of "North Ireland" is considered moral and legal, but the bantustan carved out of Romania-Moldavia by Russian-Ukrainian colonists as the "Republic of Trans-Dniestria" or the Turkish bantustan for Turkish colonists in North Cyprus considered illegal? Hypocrisy? Double standards? Englishmen have a right to rob and impose themselves on others, while Russians and Turks don't?

One can argue about the morality and honesty of Robert Mugabe, his tactics, personality cult and his cronyism, but one can hardly argue with the fact that if colonists are uncomfortable with their host communities, it is time for them to repatriate. Or, perhaps, a la "North Eire", the English should invade Zimbabwe to carve out a "Free Rhodesia" for English colonists there?

Can colonists pretend to a right to democracy where they do not belong? Englishmen and Scots have rights to democracy in England and Scotland, not in Occupied Eire.

Today, in Eire, we see an effete and compromised Irish people willing to sell their birthrights to the colonists and their imperialist masters in London in exchange for an illusory peace. That is the greatest monument to the success of the centuries-old English program of terrorism of and genocide directed against the Irish, and it would seem, that this "success" will present the world with a fait accomplii.

As a citizen of another occupied territory (Goa), I appeal to Irish patriots not to join the bandwagon of the complacent traitors but to pursue justice unalloyed and true. Freedom is always worth the sacrifices involved. There is no real liberty without winning one's right to it. It is high time to compel England, whichever way, to recall its colonists from Ireland.

Have I set the cat amongst the pigeons?

Spam-Terrorism

The fourth to eight spams also had this additional message:

Unsubscribe link:

We unsubscribe each email adress manually.

I have verified that the four variant "Kavkaz Center" urls are valid, and of the same site, of which the http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/ site is the main, and the others apparently its mirrors.

Two of these four "Kavkaz Center" websites has this disclaimer posted promeniently on it:

ATTENTION! Administration of Kavkaz-Center informs that russian special services in an effort to carry out a provocation are sending out unsolicited emails (SPAM) to internet users on behalf of our agency. Kavkaz-Center notifies that it has no relation to this.

I do not know which is true — that "Kavkaz Center" is spamming, or that the Russians are. I have no sympathy for Islam and Islam-based "freedom movement", and I believe that the involvement of Islam in the question is always a sufficient cause to deny a people independence or self-determination that should normally apply to others.

That is because I recognize that terrorism is integral and fundamental to Islam, the pretensions of some Mohammedans notwithstanding. It is a fact that besides Islam, no other religion in the world whatsoever, to the best of my knowledge, was established or progressed purely by recourse to arms.

When recourse to arms occured, they were usually aberrations or later developments, involved more with politics than religious beliefs.

I hope that it is not true that Russians are behind this spammings. I should hope not. If it is true, the Russians would be striking a self-goal against them, antagonizing and alienating many thousands of people around the world.

Paedophiles of the world rejoice! Now you have a better alternative to Bangkok, the Philippines or Ceylon.

Take heart! Soon the courts, indulging you from the bounty of their sewage-filled hearts, will be permitting even three year olds to be raped and sodomized!

So drop your pants and make a beeline for Delhi! Dili ab door nahin ast!

Laxmi Rao Rocks!!!

2005-10-12T09:19:00.000+05:00

Magistrate Laxmi Rao of the Civil & Sessions COurts, Bombay, was in the news for all the wrong reasons. She was severe with a woman accused of statutory rape of a minor whom she had seduced, but in two subsequent cases, she bent over backwards to reprieve men who raped or seduced minor girls. After strong protests, she has been shunted out to a harmless post, and the cases are to be reopened. All for the good. People like Laxmi Rao need to be sent to Gulags to spend the rest of their lives breaking rocks in the hot burning sun.

But the malaise is far more deep rooted than just that. Remember how some years ago, the Rajasthan High Court acquitted persons accused of gangraping an activist for social reforms on the specious argument that since the accused were high caste men, and the alleged victim from the low castes, it was improbable that the accused had raped her, given the Hindu religion prohibiting high castes from any commerce with the low castes.

This studied hypocrisy-in-your-face is despite the fact that upper caste men have been sexually abusing women from the lower castes precisely by exploiting their exclusion from humanity under the Hindu setup, a fact that is public knowledge.

So much for Hindu civilization, which Mahatma Ghandi spent his life justifying, even as he badworded European civilization!

Now comes the gem. In today's news, we are told that magistrate Swarnkanta Mehra of the Civil & Sessions court in New Delhi, implementing the ruling recently made by the Delhi High Court, that girls of 15 years age and above are capable of contracting marriage, and that cases of statutory rape against the men who seduced these minors be quashed, has ruled that a girl who eloped with a man, Rambalak, when she was only eleven years six months old, validly contracted marriage, and the case of statutory rape against Rambalak be quashed.

I say: Hey, cut out the hypocrisy! Lets just legalize rape. Lets legalize enslavement of women and the buying and selling of women. And lets line up all the rapists at the Presidential Palace and confer upon them the highest honor of the land!

Christianity & Disestablishment

2005-10-09T20:23:00.000+05:00

The question of India's ephemeral secularism raises the question of Christians in India agitating for disestablishment. I believe that they are misguided. They are motivated, not by Christianity but by secularism.

But true Chrisitanity itself is anti-secular, and is theocratist. That is, a Christian who becomes or promotes secularism has become an apostate.

Christians underwent persecution for more than four centuries under the pagans in the Roman Empire, but they never demanded secularism or disestablishment, despite the harrowing persecution that they underwent.

Rather, they sought for and prayed for the disestablishment of false religions and the establishment of the true faith, a prayer that began to be answered by the accession of Constantine the Great and that his successors progressively implemented.

Bull In A China Shop

2005-10-09T20:20:00.000+05:00

The misnamed phenomenon of "Judicial Activism". It should be styled "Judicial Usurpations". In the recent past, judges of High Courts and of the Indian Supreme Court have shown that they have thrown all restraint to the winds.

There was the ruling a few months back that Cooperative Housing Societies could discriminate and refuse admission on basis of caste and creed, etc., thereby legitimizing the Apartheid imposed by nouveau riche Hindu Hitlerite classes on Christian and Muslim minorities.

In the last few days, I have seen the Delhi High Court striking down convictions for statutory rape against two men who eloped with minor girls. The Court ruled that despite the girls being less than the statutory age of consent of 18, their marriages were valid, claiming that girls over 15 years are capable of discernment!

On the same day, the Indian Supreme Court fired a High Court and intructed subordinate courts that they should not dilute convictions for rape!

Nevertheless, despite the clamour of protests over the Delhi High Court's order, the Supreme Court has not felt itself obliged to take suo moto cognizance of this ruling and act against it!

About a year or two ago, when the Hindu Hitlerites swept to power in Madhya Pradesh, they attempted to impose a ban on the sale of non-vegetarian food in certain areas. That brought strong opposition from secularists, though I do not know the outcome.

The Times of India, October 8, 2005, carries the news that the Chhatisgarh High Court has banned the sale of eggs in public places, and has ordered the government to determine specified places, where meat is sold, for the sale of eggs!

There is a big song and dance being made of the ephemeral secularism of the Indian State. However, that secularism is more hype than real. Unlike the U.S., there is no constitutional provision mandating disestablishment. Therefore the newspapers are full of pictures and reports of politicians inaugurating projects etc. using Hindu rites or participating in their official capacities in Hindu and sometimes Muslim rites.

Asinus Asinum Fricat

2005-10-09T20:15:00.000+05:00

I have recently finished updating my page on the Aarti Controversy, and emailed many informing them of it. The new page is full of pictures which I have organized into two sets — Aarti and tilak of men, and of idols or other inanimate things. But the last few days have thrown open new vistas of thought to me.

There is this cute Latin saying, "Asinus asinum fricat" or "the ass rubs the ass", which describes the custom of asses seeking to nuzzle and thereby please each other.

In the context of the Aarti controversy, it is an apt description of the behavior of the Antichurch and Hindu paganism.

The 'aptness' became more pronounced for me when I read a recent news report stating that the Hindus would be worshipping horses using the Aarti ceremony, and applying tilak to the horses!

Until now, I had clean forgotten that the Hindus also perform Aarti of animals. This newsreport awakened memories.

I know that during Nag Panchami, the Snake Festival, from what is shown in Hindi and Marathi movies broadcast on T.V., that the Hindus perform the Aarti upon serpents, usually a defanged Cobra to whom milk is also offered.

I nebulously recall movie incidents of the Aarti being performed upon monkeys, which are considered gods, on a particular occasion, although I cannot recall which particular festival it is.

A few years ago, while I was passing by the Rajabhai Tower to work, I found some three Parsi women opening a B.E.S.T. Electrical junction-box on the pavement, adorn the equipment with garlands and perform pooja including an Aarti. That also recall that, on one particular occasion, the Hindus perform Aarti upon cars, scooters and other vehicles, their office equipments or tools at work. A friend whom I remarked to about this, informed me that this is usually done on the occasion of the Hindu festival of Dassera, the tenth day at the end of the nine-day Navratri festival, which is ongoing. Dassera comes on Wednesday, October 12, 2005.

It should be interesting. I think that I will go around with my digital mini-camera and catch pictures. A convert from Sikhism with whom I am dialoguing about True Catholicism as against the False Catholic Church where he presently worships and with which he is intensely disappointed as being un-Christian has promised to accompany me. Dassera this year, then, should be interesting at the very least.

Talking of animals, I also recall seeing photographs of a white pomeranian dog bearing a large and distinctive tilak. Unfortunately, I neither saved them nor kept a record of the site. It would be impossible to find today — like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, I think I will have a try — I will do a Google search with "Dog +Aarti", "Monkey +aarti", etc.

I am now very excited. All of this opens new vistas of opportunities. I want to acquire pictures of Aarti being performed on horses, dogs and monkeys. I want a clean frontal shot that I can juxtapose the two donkeys — the dumb beast being worshipped as a god by the pagans with Aarti and tilak, and Antipope being worshipped with Aarti and tilak. I think that the propaganda value of this would be enormous.

I spoke to and suggested to a Protestant friend that, while we disagree strongly on the questions of faith, we join together to collect and procure these pictures, because both of us wish to target Wojtyla. He does not seem enthused, but I think I will pursue this suggestion with other protestants.

I have looked into the Bombay Amateur Riders' Club website and found pictures and mentions of Aarti of horses and of their being marked with the tilak. There are two distinct photographs. However, none of them is of the quality that I can use to juxtapose with the Wojtyla Aarti photo. The angle of the shoot should be approximately the same.

The ARCMumbai.com site uses the term "Aswa Pooja" or "Horse Worship", but if one does a Google intra-site search for "Aarti" these pages turn up.

I request prayers and petitions for this important project to add pictures of animals being worshipped with Aarti and marked with the tilak at the end of the Aarti, because I believe that acquiring a set of these pictures and juxtaposing a good shot of a donkey or horse being marked with a tilak in the same manner of the Madras 1986 picture of John-Paul II with this Madras 1986 picture would be a coup de grace against the lies and pretensions of the Antichurch and of the apologists of vampirism.

Once I do get these two pictures juxtaposed, the reader will attain to the understanding of why I invoke that Latin quote, "Asinus asinum fricat"! Until then, they can only conjure visions!

The Christian will recall the incident of the Prophet Balaam and his ass, that of the two, it was the latter who gave testimony to God! Praise the Lord, by His Grace, yet again, if all goes well, an ass or a horse will trip up Antipope Wojtyla!

P.S.: I have found these photographs in the last few days:

1. Indian cricket sportsman Sachin Tendulkar in a set of two sequential photographs where he adorns the sports equipment with flowers and other things, and then falls down and worships them.

2. His Royal Highness, Maharajah Srikantadatta, the Wodeyar of Mysore, performing Aarti upon his Sinhasan (throne) in his palace in Bangalore on the occasion of the ten day Dassera festival (i.e. Navratri & Dassera).

3. Photographs of Mr. James Cunningham, Mr. Michael Owen and Mrs. Annerieke Owen, the Commercial Attache, Consul General and wife of the Consul General respectively of the U.S. Consulate in Bombay, together with Mr. Atul Nishar and his wife Dr. Alka Nishar, industrialists, at the Indian Tobacco Corporation's Grand Central Sheraton hotel in Parel, Central Bombay, wearing garlands and bearing the tilak on their foreheads. The caption informs us that they had participated in a function organized by the Indo-American Chambers of Commerce to welcome the Owens. Unfortunately, the pictures are rather small and cannot be scanned properly.

4. Minor Indian actress Riya Sen performing Aarti of "sterling silver" idols of the demon Rama and the demoness Sita as part of the Times of India's promotional campaign, Times Glitter 2005, at the Taj Land's End hotel, near the ruins of the Portuguese Fort Aguada at Bandra.

Analysing The Mahatma of Goan Quislings

2005-05-06T19:23:00.000+05:00

What's going on? I posted on Goancenter of the alterations I made to the Wikipedia article "Goa", and the next day, I find that the Grandfather of all Goan Quislings has "kindly condescended" to weigh in with his pompous inanities!

This is not the first time that such a thing is happening. Earlier, one creep, who had previously masqueraded as a "Ferdinand Barros" on the GoanCenter, whom I had booted out, and who has now fabricated the spoof-list "GoanCentre", used to reply to my GoanCenter postings - long after he had been booted out - with abusive spams bloated with numerous repetitions, designed to crash my mailbox.

So, what exactly is going on? How is the enemy kept upto date on my activities? Is it that the Traitors are keeping a watch on my activities? Am I become so important - or so effective in rubbishing their propaganda of lies, that they consider me a threat that needs constant monitoring? The truth will emerge, even if only gradually.

A calm consideration of the long ranting diatribe of the Grandfather of Goan Traitors shows that he is either going insane, or more probably, his malicious hatred of Goan patriotism made him delirous, incoherent and hysterical!

When a man deliberately and consciously chooses to addle his intelligence and reason to uphold evil and wrong, it is guaranteed that one day his brains are also going to be adled. And from the pompous inanities that the Granddaddy of All Blackguards, it becomes evident that he is getting there pronto! What do we see here but a man running in the mouth? This is sad - it is sad to see a man go to seed. It is grievous to see such a great mind wasting itself, and now justly wasted by its own perfidy! I am shocked and awed, but also humbled before the justice of God.

God is just, and His vengeance is certain. Praise be to Him. Amen!

I returned to this page after awhile, and was saddened to see the deliberate distortions and POV that have crept in, making nonsense of much of the content. Such unhistorical distortions, whereever they come from, are something that everyone who believes in the power of Wikipedia should feel unhappy about.

Some examples by way of illustrations:

*** Margao is the largest town
It isn't. In population terms, Vasco da Gama is.

*** Goa was ruled by Portugal for almost 451 years...
It would be more accurate to say that "parts of Goa were ruled by Portugal for upto 451 years..." Kindly note, the entire region was not ruled for this period, since the Portuguese conquests were done in stages.

*** when it was forcibly taken over by the Indian Indian government, after Portugal rebuffed India's demands to exclavescede its
A highly loaded statement. This presumes that Portugual had a right to hold on, quite naturally, to a region which is thousands of kilometres away from its shores, and that the demands for decolonisation were just non-existant in this period.

*** Goa fell under the Islamic rule for the first time in 1312,
Use of language suggests a POV, assuming it was incorrect or unnatural to "fall under" a certain group of rulers on grounds of their religion!

*** From Anjediva, he orchestrated a Goan August 1510, he could withdraw to the island of Anjediva. From Anjediva, he orchestrated a Goan guerilla war against Bijapur,
Makes it seem as if colonialism was a local "guerilla war" in disguise!

*** By agreement between the Goans and the attacked Goa and drove away the forces of Bijapur. By agreement between the Goans and the Portuguese, the Muslim population was exterminated.
This is a POV and seems to be based on assumptions. What is the historical background for such an "agreement"? It is generally accepted that the 'rivers of blood' of Muslims was brought on more by Portuguese bias against the "Moors" who had been ruling their homeland till not many years earlier.

*** limits. the area under occupation had expanded to most of Goa's present day state 16th century the area under occupation had expanded to most of Goa's present day state
This would be incorrect, as large parts of Goa were annexed as late as in the 'eighteenth century.

*** Manguesim
Inaccurately spelt name for Mangueshi. It is doubtful whether one village could be described as the destination for this entire migration.

*** northern country
county???

*** Goa acquired a large Eurasian population.
Is there historical data to back this claim?

*** Goa Velha.the capital was moved to Panjim from 1883 the capital was moved to Panjim from In
Goa Velha or Velha Goa? These are two different places...

*** relinquish their control of its exclaves.
Using the term "enclaves" would suggest these regions were *not* colonies. A ahhistorical perspective in the context of the decolonisation movements of the 20th century, and popular feeling of that time.

*** although the Goans fought more valiantly and longer in Daman.
It was the Portuguese who were doing the fighting (for entirely understandable reasons).

*** and the rest remained solidly loyal.applying for it in the proper manner. Only a miniscule minority of Goans applied for Indian citizenship the proper manner. Only a miniscule minority of Goans applied for Indian citizenship
Solidly loyal, to whom? The bulk of the population didn't have Portuguese cizenships either.

*** applying for Indian citizenship, became Indian citizens.
and that Goans, until then recognized as validly Portuguese citizens, automatically, and without ortuguese citizens, automatically, and without
This seems to be an incomplete recording of fact. There was a provision for those wanting to opt for Portuguese citizenship to also do so.

*** .Though most States - principally Communist and "Non-Aligned" - recognised the annexation, Portugal
The use of the term "Non Aligned" in inverted quoted indicates the writer's bias. Is there an attempt to build up a Red bogey here? Fact is that the majority of the nations of the world was not for continuation of Portuguese colonialism in Goa.

*** India claims that Goa is, and always was, a part of itself. However, Goa was never a part of a formal, united India at any time, and it was taken in 1510, more than four centuries before the founding of the modern State of India, from the Muslims, who were recognized by the Goans as persecutors, and with the active solicitation of the Goan people.

This is a twisted argument. India, in the sense of the political state as we know it, came into being in 1947. The Portuguese refused to give up their colonies in Goa. Obviously, Goa couldn't be part of this political entity till the military action of 1961. So the cause is being used as a justification for the effect?

*** In 1954, Nehru and other Indian politicians instigated mobs to invade Goa in a "peaceful" invasion, as
"Gandhian satyagrahis",
What is the source for the "Nehru instigation" bit? Is it verifiable?

*** .In 1954, Nehru and other Indian politicians instigated mobs to invade Goa in a "peaceful" invasion, as "Gandhian satyagrahis", in order to terrorize Portugal into handing it over; this was designed as a repeat of the seizure of the French exclave of Chandernagore.

This is what Wikipedia's page itself says about "Chandanagore": "India became independent of Britain in 1947, and in June 1948 the French Government held a plebescite which found that 97% of Chandannagar's residents wished to become part of India. In May 1950, the French allowed the Indian government to assume de facto control over Chandannagar, officially ceding the city to India on 2 February 1952. On 2 October 1955 Chandannagar was integrated into West Bengal state."

*** Goan patriots pointedly ask why no "Gandhian satyagrahis" were ever sent, before or after India's aggressions against Goa, against Pakistan and Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka, Myanmar and the Maldives, territories which were torn out of India in 1947 and 1937 respectively, in order to procure their "re-unifications" to India!

Who are "Goan patriots"? When have they "pointedly ask(ed)"? This seems to be more in keeping with the writer/s obsession, which stemps from the angst generated by cyberdiscussions in the 1990s and this decade.

*** the Communist leader of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, Mario Soares
The writer's bias is clearly showing here. Mario Soares was a Socialist party leader...

*** Yashwantrao Chavan, a Marathi
Marathi is a language. The right description for someone from Maharashtra state would be Maharashtrian. Anyway, the writer seems to be raking up an issue (regional identity) when it doesn't seem to be particularly relevant.

*** Chavan-Soares Treaty
Is this the official name of the treaty, or the writer's description?

The Pe Chico Monteiro case is the flagship argument of those putting forward a point of view which is out of touch with both reality and history.

Use of such words in the writing "forced down Goan throats, or to leave Goa, as demanded by India. He was kidnapped by the citizenship, forced down Goan throats, or to leave Goa, as demanded by India. He was kidnapped by the occupation and put on "trial"" hardly allow for a NPOV. Is "kidnapped" the right word to describe the actions iof a sovereign state, even if contested by a few?

*** 1955 invasion of Goa (info)
The word "invasion" is definitely not NPOV. This is being used to describe the action of satyagrahis (campaigners using non-violence to protest Portuguese colonial rule). --FN

Unity in Faith

2005-04-30T20:42:00.000+05:00

Dear Friends,

The Apostles teaches us that we must be united, be one, having one baptism, one faith, one Church. When someone is ignorant, he is excusable. However, mendacity is proof of malice.

There is no greater or higher good than the Faith, the true Christian Faith. When one is found to be deliberately subverting the Faith, and ignores or rebuffs warnings, he must be expelled / cut off from contact.

I am a Catholic and a Christian, yet my faith is very different from the vast majority of those who also call themselves Catholic. Therefore, either my faith has been changed, or theirs. I have not changed, I continue to hold the same faith for which St. Catherine of Alexandria was martyred and for which St. Francis Xavier labored and died.

I have time and again pointed out that both I, who belongs to the class or group of orthodox Catholics, and Wojtyla ("John-Paul II") and now Ratzinger ("Benedictus XVI"), cannot both be Catholic. Either we are or they are. If Wojtyla and Ratzinger are Catholic, then I must necessarily be a Satanist. But since I have not changed, since my faith has not changed, therefore, if I am a Satanist, then all the Popes from St. Peter to Pope Pius XII, who held the same faith as I do, and also St. Francis Xavier, must also necessarily be Satanists. Indeed, for that matter, Christ Himself must be a fraud and a Satanist - as a logical conclusion, if one accepts the validity of Wojtyla, Ratzinger & Co.

But if I am Catholic, then Wojtyla and Ratzinger are Satanists.

Our rival faiths both lay claim to the name "Catholic" but are mutually exclusive.

I have already underlined my willingness to be proven wrong, and have myself demonstrated, effectively, I hope, where the other and newer "Catholicism" is wrong. Despite that, when one studiously ignores the evidence and glories in evil, it is time to part ways.

One who celebrates Satanists and their Satanism, could be excused for ignorance, but when the facts are presented to him, and he stubbornly ignores them and continues mendaciously to celebrate Satanists and their Satanism, then the only logical conclusion is that he, who lauds these Satanists, is himself deliberately also a Satanist! No other logical conclusion is possible.

I think that it is better to part ways quietly and without rancour and the exchange of harsh words, if possible. As a matter of fact, I prefer to say nothing - having made my own position already crystal clear, for I do not believe in imposing myself, nor do I wish to impose myself on those unwilling. One cannot be dragooned into the Kingdom of God.

A certain gentleman wishes to celebrate "Benedict XVI" and suchlike, and wishes to gush about "masses" said in gratitude for his elevation to being the present heresiarch of a sect. If someone wishes to cast his soul into the sewer, I cannot have any objection to that, for no one can be dragooned into the Kingdom of God, but it is my responsibility before God to exclude immoral writings where I have the authority and responsibility to do so.

No attack upon Christ is tolerable. And Christianity is at the heart of Goa, of the Goan identity, being the core and the cement that makes Goans Goan, so that it is absolutely indispensable. Patriotism is a great virtue, but it is not greater than God, and insignificant compared to the virtue of Truth.

Let us hope that we can leave things at that.

Regards,

Lúcio

The Holy Father Requests Prayer

2005-04-27T20:35:00.000+05:00

From: Pope Michael <Pope@VaticanInExile.com>
Date: Tue Apr 26, 2005 3:27 pm
Subject: Request for prayer

Dear friends,

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days.[1]

We have mediate on this verse of Sacred Scripture. The Bridegroom, Jesus has been taken away from us with the cessation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. With the approach of the Rogation Days next week. (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), let us consider fasting on all three days in some manner, as well as reciting the Litany of the Saints in reparation for the mutilated litany at John Paul 2 the Great Deceiver's funeral.

We have not organized Our thoughts, but since We are asking for more prayers thought We should pass along some things to meditate on.

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood: but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.[2] Our fight is against the Devil. But this kind of devil is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.[3] To overcome the powers of darkness let us increase our fasting and prayer. No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.[4] The words of Joel speak to Us: Sanctify a fast...[5]

We are reminded of the practice of the Holy Hour, which Jesus asked Saint Margaret Mary to perform. One book recommends a Holy Hour between 2pm on Thursday and sunrise on Friday. Another recommends nocturnal adoration between 9pm and 6am. Let us not omit to make a weekly (not weakly) Holy Hour.

We also ask prayers for a special intention. We received a contact from a small group, which appeared favorable. Now We have not heard from them and their website has been virtually shut down and is being changes. We ask that all pray that they come to a knowledge and acceptance of the truth, especially in regards to the Church.

How is the study of Our ebook coming?

[1] Luke 5:35
[2] Ephesians 6:12
[3] Matthew 17:20 Jesus was questioned by some of His disciples about why they could not cast out a certain devil.

Pope St. Fabianus

2005-04-27T20:15:00.000+05:00

Dear AVF,

I owe you an apology regarding the issue of Pope St. Fabianus. I myself have found a page which makes the same or a similar allegation: http://sify.com/news/international/fullstory.php?id=13720148.

The Sify page says:

A story from simpler times when the Church was young and more unified concerns the election of Pope Fabian in 236. An anonymous lay onlooker, he had come to Rome after the death of Pope Anteros and was present during deliberations on a successor. According to Eusebius, a Church historian of the era, "Suddenly, they say, a dove flew down and settled on his head, just as the Holy Spirit had descended upon the head of the Saviour in the form of a dove. At this, everyone, as if moved by a single divine inspiration, eagerly and wholeheartedly called out that Fabian was worthy and immediately took him and placed him on the episcopal throne." The blessing was a mixed one for Fabian, as it turned out, since he died 14 years later a martyr, imprisoned and persecuted by Emperor Decius.

However, whatever the source, the allegation is totally false. The falseness of the claim that the entire forteen year pontificate of Pope St. Fabianus, 236 - 250, was a storm of pagan Roman Empire persecution of Christians under the Emperor Decius is proven merely by looking up the account of the life of Emperor Decius himself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decius.

Decius ruled for only about three years, 249-251, during which he had commenced the persecution. Prior to him, Philip the Arab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Arab), the second Christian Roman Emperor after Jovianus the German, was emperor for 8 months, and before him, Gordianus III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_III) for six years. Thus, there was no real or active persecution of Christians during the pontificate of St. Fabianus, and it only began shortly before his own martyrdom, which the Decian Persecution caused.

It is obvious that the allegation that the election of a layman, or that the election of St. Fabianus as Pope was a "disaster" is a modern myth, and one that is contrary to Christian principles, for the following two reasons:

1. The allegation that this election resulted in a long and stormy persecution.

2. The allegation that the election of a layman resulted in a disaster.

Whether this lie is being vended by "Fr. P.C. Thomas" or by Sify, it remains a deliberate lie, a myth created with apparently the ulterior motive of insinuating that a mere layman cannot or ought not to be elected Pope.

As a matter of fact, St. Fabianus' two direct predecessors, Ss. Pontianus and Anterus, were both murdered under the orders of the Emperor Maximinus, with Anterus ruling for less than a year. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximinus_Thrax, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pontian & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Anterus]

Goan Inquisition

2005-04-27T20:09:00.000+05:00

Friends,

I am really at a loss as how to reply to this. For one thing, the Inquisition was neither evil nor an innovation in Christian values, but was a realization of the values of the Bible. There are three sects which have been historically against the Inquisition in Goa - the Jews, the Protestants and the Hindus. The first two opposed and slandered the Inquisition worldwide, Hindus only in Goa and other places where they occur.

The [Mulgaoncar] article repeats Protestant slanders that the Inquisition's rules and procedures were secret and "mumbo-jumbo". The phrase "mumbo-jumbo" was originally the description of the rites of the priests of African magic religions, specifically Voodoo (Vodun). As a matter of fact, it is Protestantism which rejects logic and reason, basing itself on a false emotionalism, that is into anything like mumbo-jumbo (What Sir Arnold Lunn, a Protestant who had been converted to Christianity by Ronald Knox, identified as "FIFism", FUNNY-INNER-FEELING-ism, in his seminal apologetic work, "Now I See It!").

However, fundamentally, this exchange, between this woman "Bevinda Colaco" and the notorious pervert and quisling, Frederico Noronha, is merely another demonstration that a large number of, largely Anglicized, Goans, even as they facetiously pay lipservice to "Goencho Saib" (Saõ Francisco Xavier), have actually been brainwashed into Anti-Christianity, pro-Protestantism, Secularism, Agnosticism, Atheism, etc.. Anglicization seems to be tantamount to Anglicanization!

I have already refuted the nonsensical allegations made in this exchange several times that I do not need to devote more of my time and energies to this once again.
Suffice it to say that when a person begins to make claims hostile to the Church, it is merely necessary to examine and classify his own inimical animus against the Church - the hooved devil possessing his mind from behind the scene, and once identified, anything that they say or allege must be generously and blindly donated to the garbage can, where it belongs.

I give thanks and praise to God Almighty for having favored Goa with the Holy Inquisition, even if only for a short time, and I pray for its speedy restoration, so that spiritual perverts and reprobates and other bad apples may be rooted out before they spoil the entire barrel!

Regards,

Lucio

Dear FN,

Maybe Pope John Paul II was not aware of what happened in "tiny Goa" in the 16th century. If the next pope comes from Portugal, maybe an apology would be forthcoming. Be that as it may, here's an excerpt from Manohar Malgonkar's "Inside Goa":

"The year 1560 was the golden jubilee of the beginning of Portuguese rule in India. Almost as though to mark the occasion with the bestowal of a special gift on the people of Goa, they brought in the Inquisition.

"It was not a weapon against the remaining Hindus of Goa, as much as against the Goans who had already accepted Christianity. But of course, any Hindu who was discovered practicing the religious rites of his faith and thus indulging in "magic and witchcraft" came under its purview.

"The priests had realized that there was still a good deal of stubborn resistance among the converts to their new faith. Many of them were not observing its rituals with sufficient punctilio, and a few were suspected of practicing their erstwhile faith in secret. These last were the repertidos who were now to be rooted out and burned alive.

"The ceremony of burning these heretics was called the Auto da Fe, which means, an Act of Faith. The Viceroy who, with a stroke of his pen, had banned the practice of sati in Goa was powerless to stop these other burnings. Indeed the Viceroy, with his full court actually participated in these ceremonies, which were conducted with great fanfare and éclat.

"It was quite true that many Christians in Goa had not been able to shake off the ingrained taboos of their earlier faith. But even for those who considered themselves fully committed to Christianity, it was not easy to grasp all the intricate formalism of its beliefs and divinities, because of the formidable language barrier that existed between themselves and their religious teachers. For one thing, the Portuguese, as the ruling race, had little interest in learning Konkani; indeed they had systematically burned all Konkani written works in case some of them contained "precepts and doctrines of idolatry". What was more, while some priests were no doubt men of learning, the rank and file of the priestly orders of Goa was made up of mercenaries who had joined up for the sake of the material advantages that the profession offered, especially in Goa. If, as Mr. T.B. Cunha tells us "every sailor who came to Goa preferred to be a monk", there could not be many among them who were so dedicated to their calling as to go to the trouble of learning a foreign language merely to be able to help out the converts, and indeed there may have been a few among them who did not even know their own language very well. And as to the Goans, even though Latin and Portuguese were taught in the schools that the Portuguese had opened, not many of them had attained sufficient mastery over this language, to be able to perceive the fundamentals behind the doctrines of Christianity. They expressed doubts, questions; they may even have, at least in private conversations, expressed disbelief.

"These wholly natural uncertainties were now to be resolved by bludgeoning them into insensibility, by discipline and terror. The Inquisition was a tribunal, whose principal judge was sent from Portugal and bore the title of the 'The Grand Inquisitor'. In his own sphere he was not answerable to anyone in Goa. He and his two colleagues made their own rules, interpreted them and dealt out punishments. Their codified laws ran to over 230 folio pages, and their edicts, which sought to tell the people of Goa what they might or might not do, to over 5,000 words. They lived in a palace of which the people of Goa spoke in whispers as the Vodlem Gor, the Big House, where mysterious rites were practiced and from which screams could be often heard. Their procedures were conducted in secret and were smothered in mumbo-jumbo. Their logic was diabolically perverse and the tortures they devised could only have been the product of sick minds. On the evidence of the Archbishop of Evora, in Portugal: "If everywhere the Inquisition was an infamous court,
the infamy, however base, however vile, however corrupt and determined by worldly interests, it was never more so than in Goa."

"It went on for two hundred years, even though there was a short interruption. In that time, there can be no doubt that many more 'heretics' were burned alive than the number of Hindu widows saved from burning because of the banning of the practice of sati. Aside from this, there were thousands of others who were subjected to some of the most perversely sadistic tortures that the Inquisitors had devised.

"The interruption came in 1774 when the Marquis of Pombal, one of the greatest liberals of his time, became the Prime Minister of Portugal and ordered its abolition. But it came right back, four years later when Pombal was ousted from power. It was finally closed on 16th June 1812, as a result, of strong British pressure and at the time when British troops were actually stationed on Goa's soil."

Layman as Pope

2005-04-27T19:58:00.000+05:00

The "Version" of the life of Pope St. Fabianus, as related by AVF is thoroughly false, and one in which a vile superstition is deliberately infused for some unstated reason.

None of the allegations made, including the wicked superstition that a lay man elected pope results in disaster, is supported by the true account of his Pontificate, as is found in the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911-1914: ttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05742d.htm

This Catholic Encyclopedia is the most authoritative English work setting out the systematic history of the Church.

Another version is from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Fabian, which also does not support the AVF version.

As a matter of fact, the Catholic Encyclopedia directly contradicts AVF when it states that "During his reign of fourteen years there was a lull in the storm of persecution."

It is also false that St. Fabianus was either the first, or the last, layman elected pope. There were many before, and many after.

For three laymen of the same family who became popes, long after St. Fabianus, see these three:

Pope Benedict VIII: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02428e.htm
Pope John XIX: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08429b.htm
Pope Benedict IX: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02429a.htm
It is only in very recent times that the Church has followed the PRACTICE of preferring CARDINALS for elevation to the Papacy.

Nor is this preference dogmatic, for the Church insists that to be eligible to be elected Pope, one merely needs to be a male Catholic with none of the impediments that bar him from becoming a priest and a bishop.

As a matter of fact, theologically and canonically, even a married layman can be elected Pope, on the condition that he agrees to separate from his wife and be ordained priest and bishop thereafter.

Regarding AVF's choice for the 5th Roman Modernist Heresiarch, I would warn: there is an old saying, "Beware of what one asks for, for you may get it!"

Indeed, Ivan Dias is a protégé of the vile Valeriano Gracias, an exemplary traitor, and one who was noted as such even during his lifetime, and opposed for it. And not only was he a traitor, but also an extraordinary dunce. As for Dias, his father was also a traitor, who served the Ghatis in the Indian government during the invasion of Goa in 1954-1961, under Morarji Desai in the Provincial Secretariat "Sachivalaya" at the Regal Circle. The family is full of traitors, for even a brother of Ivan Dias has chosen to serve the Indian army as an officer!

Is this the despicable worm whom AVF glories in, and desires to have has his heresiarch? I humbly request AVF to use his brains carefully!

LAYMAN BECOMES POPE.

Can a layman and an ordinary farmer become a Pope or only a Cardinal can
become a Pope?

Fabian was a simple farmer from the outskirts of Rome. On the day of the
election of the successor of Pope Anterus, Fabian was at the tomb of Saint
Peter where he had gone to pray. As the names were called out, the
assembled Christians saw a dove resting on the head of ordinary farmer
Fabian. Thinking that it was a sign from Heaven, they elected. He was
ordained a Deacon, Priest and Bishop on the same day. The next day he was
elevated to the 20th Pope of the Church. During the reign of Emperor Dicius
in the year 249 Church under the leadership of Pope Fabian suffered the
worst persecution and finally the Pope Fabian was martyred on 20th January
250.

History repeats itself, it is said. Many people are speculating many
things. Cardinal Dias who is my Goan “bhau” is also tipped to be the
likely next Pope. He is feeling proud to be a Goan and to declare Konkani
is his language. If he is elected to be the next Pope by the Cardinals, I
will be the happiest person to know this news. And why not he be elected?
The election of the Pope is the work of the Holy Spirit. If an ordinary
farmer with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit can become the Pope then why
not somebody who is much - much more higher than the ordinary farmer?? I
pray that the Holy Spirit will inspire all the Cardinals to elect and select
the right candidate.

John Paul II, The Great??

2005-04-11T19:34:00.000+05:00

And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity. [i]

The latter half of the 20th century until now has seen a catastrophe happen to the world, because of the worst persecution in the history of the Catholic Church. This has not been a bloody, but an unbloody persecution. Instead of offering Catholics martyrdom, instead Catholics were offered worldly goods, status and honors in order to corrupt them into rejecting the Catholic Faith.

If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [ii] We are advised not to be conformed to the world, [iii] but to be a sign of contradiction. [iv] If the world begins to love us, then we should consider well whether or not we are truly doing God’s will or are we conforming ourselves to the world?

Since Antipope John Paul II’s final day of life upon earth, there has been talk of his canonization. With his death the world has heaped praise upon praise upon him, calling not only for his immediate canonization as a Saint, but for his designation as John Paul the Great. World leaders all came to attend his funeral, as did millions of people from throughout the world. Never has an event drawn such a crowd as the death of this Antipope has caused. For this reason We shall call him:

John Paul II the Great Deceiver

A casual glance at the television coverage surrounding John Paul II demonstrates that he has changed theology. In fact one report We saw outlined the change in theology John Paul II did in regards to the morality of the death penalty. This was cited as one example of the new theology of John Paul II.

It is Our belief, that Karol Wojtyla is the personification of the operation of error. [v] We believe that Pope Saint Pius X’s fears that Antichrist was already born [vi] were fulfilled in Giovanni Baptiste Montini, Antipope Paul VI. Why was not Montini’s death mourned as Wojtyla’s has been? We must look back at the past century.

A century ago Pope Saint Pius X commanded pastors to teach the Catechism to all of the Faithful under their charge. [vii] With very few exceptions, the pastors refused to follow the commands of Pope Saint Pius X. This laxity and lukewarmness in the clergy, especially in the Bishops and Pastors, caused the laity to also become lax and lukewarm. Catholicism was being reduced to mere external observances. Yes, being a Catholic still had its drawbacks, but these were slowly melting away as Catholics merged into the world and become of the world. On Sunday morning Catholics were seen in church, on Friday they did not eat meat, but beyond this Catholicism did not rule their lives. [viii] Catholics were not inspired with a love of the truths of the Catholic Faith nor were they inspired to make the sacrifices necessary so that our Lord’s desire could be fulfilled: Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. [ix] Catechism was for children and was soon forgotten when Catholics became adults. Pope Pius XI in renewing Saint Pius X’s call for instruction of Catholic adults in the Faith warned that many had gradually forgotten what they learned long ago if they had ever been taught in the first place. [x]

Pope Pius XII fought a valiant fight against The Enemy who had invaded the Church as Saint Pius X had warned in his Encyclical against Modernism, Pascendi. Yet his efforts would die with him as the Cardinals gathered to elect his successor. On October 26, 1958 reports circulated that a Pope had been elected and white smoke was seen over the Sistine Chapel, but soon the report was that there had been an error. Rumors survive to this day that one of three men was elected on that day, but forced by The Enemy not to allow himself to be presented to the world as Pope. The Press reported that Cardinal Ottaviani was elected, and some theorize Cardinal Tedeschini was elected. Later reports, bolstered by alleged United States files released under the Freedom of Information Act, allege that Cardinal Siri was elected. [xi] However, all three men have gone to their graves without clarifying what happened that day and publicly accepting Good Pope John and his successor, Paul VI. Further Siri was the principle celebrant at one of the novemdales [xii] for both Paul VI and John Paul I. Note well that these were Novus Ordo masses, and therefore place him in the center of this new church.

On October 28, 1958, the Cardinals presented us with Pope John XXIII. Now this is unprecedented for a Pope to take both the name and number of a previous Antipope. During the Western Schism, the Pisan line of claimants ended with Antipope John XXIII. If he had taken this name, then he should have been John XXIV. [xiii] Good Pope John as some referred to him opened the windows to allow winds of worldly ideas to blow into the Church. He was a jolly old man, reminiscent of Santa Claus. He was beloved by many. His job was to elevate Montini to the Cardinalate and then call for a Council, a Council that founded a new church. To insure Montini’s election as his successor, John XXIII appointed many other cardinals. In 1963, John XXIII died and was followed by his superior Montini, who took the name Paul. [xiv]

Paul VI had the most difficult part in founding the Novus Ordo religion. And yes this church, which calls itself catholic, is not Catholic but a new religion. And they say they are catholics, but they do lie. [xv] Paul VI oversaw the infallible promulgation of the new doctrines of this church at Vatican II. [xvi] Then it was his job to implement the radical changes in the liturgy to support these new doctrines. From 1960, when John XXIII began the first subtle changes in the liturgy, until the implementation of the Novus Ordo Missae a decade later saw great upheaval as the Catholic Church was changed into the Novus Ordo church. Because Paul VI was the leader in this upheaval, despite relaxing almost everything in doctrine and practice, he was not as beloved. Further he antagonized many in his new church by refusing to allow the bishops to discuss birth control at Vatican II and then unilaterally reaffirming against artificial birth control in his last Encyclical, Humanae Vitae, in 1965. [xvii]

Humanae Vitae caused many in the Novus Ordo church to become sinners. Instead of leaving the church, they stayed in and simply ignored the doctrine. This led to even further laxity in matters of Faith. Because many were virtually ignorant of the Faith they blindly followed as change after change was introduced. Further many of the changes were early acceptable, such as the elimination of fasting and the reduction of abstinence to the Fridays of Lent and Ash Wednesday.

When Paul VI died on August 6, 1978, the Feast of the Transfiguration, [xviii] one era in the Novus Ordo Church ended and another was about to begin. A caretaker was elected in the person of Albino Luciani, who took the names John Paul. This indicated that he would carry on the aggiornamento of John XXIII and the evolution of the doctrine of Paul VI. However he died before he could do anything. It was time for someone to head this new church, who would carry doctrine forward. Karol Wojtyla was elected to carry this job forward. He signaled his will to carry forward the spirit of Vatican II by taking the names of John and Paul. For John Paul II much of the difficult work had been done by Paul VI. It was his job to put the finishing touches on the Novus Ordo Church and establish it as the whore of Babylon. [xix] He made the finishing touches on the doctrines of this church and established the principles by which it now runs.

This evolution in doctrine in one instance can be seen starting with Humanae Vitae of Paul VI. John Paul II rightfully condemned abortion on the same principle artificial birth control was condemned. He made his condemnation based upon the principle which he evolved that all killing of life is immoral. This was promulgated in part in his Gospel of Life and completed in his new Catechism of the Catholic Church. In addition to forbidding murder, even capital punishment and war are in his mind never justified. This goes contrary to the constant teaching of the Church that a nation has the right to defend itself from unjust aggressors and to protect the common good by executing certain hardened criminals.

Who will have all men to be saved... [xx] says Sacred Scripture. The Novus Ordo Church is founded upon the doctrine of universal salvation, which is declared in the Novus Ordo Missae. The consecratory prayer for the wine, which changes it from the work of human hands into a spiritual drink, says: Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my Blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. [xxi] In keeping with this doctrine of universal salvation, John Paul II has declared that hell may be empty. [xxii] And since all will be saved, all religions must be good and lead to salvation. For this reason John Paul II has participated in the religious rites of many religions from Protestant to Hindu. Modernism teaches that all religions teach substantially the same ethical rules while they differ in doctrines. However, these doctrines evolve and will evolve eventually into a universal religion, which is pluralistic in non-essential doctrines. John Paul II can be seen as the person who has come closest to being the leader of this unified pluralistic religion. He is beloved not only by his own followers, but by the leaders of all the world’s religions. It should not surprise us that all are calling for his immediate canonization as a saint.

If John Paul II is right, then we are all saints, because hell may be empty. [xxiii] If we do not go to hell, when we die, then we must eventually all go to heaven. And so the calls for his canonization should be answered by his church. If they do not do this, then they must admit that his doctrine on hell’s emptiness is absolutely wrong.

And what do we foresee in the future? John Paul II’s successor, who will probably not be John Paul III, will be under great pressure to heed the voice of God under the principle vox populi, vox Dei. The people called for his canonization, with some previous encouragement, when they cried out magnus (the great).

Of course, none of this means anything for Catholics, because John Paul II was a heretical antipope, as were his three predecessors. His successor will be a heretic, because all of the cardinals are heretics. Their participation in the heretical Novus Ordo Missae for John Paul II’s funeral is sufficient to demonstrate this fact.

However, these events should give us pause to think. We have all witnessed another desecration of Saint Peter’s and will see more in the future. Can we sit idly by while God’s rights are trampled under foot? We can and must speak out and tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the current crisis. This crisis has led to the loss of many millions of souls. If nothing happens, countless millions more will be lost! And what should we fear? We must be ready to sacrifice our lives for God and His holy Catholic Church. But no one is threatening us with martyrdom. What then is stopping us from putting our efforts towards the exaltation of the Catholic Church?

The Popes in the earlier part of the last century called for two things, Catechism and Catholic Action. Catechism was ignored, while Catholic Action was hijacked by The Enemy into the liturgical movement, which spawned the evil Novus Ordo Missae. We recommend all read Imposter Popes and Idol Altars, which explains just how insidious the Novus Ordo Missae really is! [xxiv]

What we must do are three things:

Study the Catholic Faith. This starts with the basic Catechism, and continues into studying the doctrines which are attacked today. Towards this end We hope to soon publish a free ebook on the problems of today.

Set ourselves spiritually. Pope Pius XI said that the retreat movement is the soul of Catholic Action. We must purify ourselves before we can purify others.

Contact the Pope and ask for assignments of things to do to promote the Catholic Church.

We will discuss these things in more detail soon. Let us all pray, study and work for the universal conversion that is so desperately needed! We are assured by the Fathers of the Church that this will come! Of course, the first conversion we must work on is our own, following the advice of Jesus: go and sin now no more. [xxv] n We must acquire a love of the truth that inspires us to learn the truths of our Faith thoroughly. If we do not do this, then we risk falling for the operation of error. Let us not think we are secure, because security is the mother of negligence. [xxvi] Let us remember is was negligence that led to the evils we see around us today. The cure is diligence. So let us be diligent in doing our duties to God, our family, our neighbor and ourselves.

May God bless all in these trying times.

Funeral of Beelzebub IV

2005-04-09T20:07:00.000+05:00

All the world, and his uncle, have turned out to "mourn" the passing of that foul, hateful monster, Beelzebub IV. But I, a Christian, have nothing but contempt for them.

Did not my Lord Christ Jesus warn:

Be not afraid when the world persecutes you, worry if the world should love you.

In the Gospel of St. John, Chapter 15, we read:

If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause.

In contrast to the world's outpouring of "love" for the Antipope Wojtyla, its Apostle of Fornication, we can see, as an example, how the world treated a Catholic pope:

H.H. Pope Pius IX died on February 7, 1878. On the night of July 12-13, 1881, his casket was transferred from the Vatican to Rome's Verano cemetery. The Freemasons organized an irreverent protest, including blasphemies, vulgar and obscene songs, and throwing of stones against the funeral procession, which responded by praying the Rosary, reciting Psalms, the Office of the Dead, and pious ejaculations.

The protest reached a climax when the funeral procession crossed the River Tiber near Castel Sant'Angelo. To the cry, "Death to the Pope! Death to priests!" a group of Freemasons attempted to overpower the Catholics and throw the corpse into the Tiber. Catholics, however, encircled the Pontiff's remains and managed to overcome the opposition.

Rocket Science For The Soul

2005-04-07T20:08:00.000+05:00

"That sound you hear is me banging my head against a
brick wall"—Lúcio.

Sunday evening, my sister came home from a visit to a neighboring city, where she had stayed overnight. I asked her, "Do you know that John-Paul 2 has died?". So she got on the phone to my other sister and says, "Lúcio tells me that the Pope has died. Is that true?"

I blew up. "I did not say, 'The Pope has died', I said, 'John-Paul 2 has died.' Last I knew, the Pope was hale and hearty, and I do not expect him to die for some decades yet. You know that I do not accept John-Paul 2 as Pope. Do not put words in my mouth that I never uttered, I do not like it a bit."

But I was still fuming. So after walking around agitatedly, I told her, "I will tell you once again what I have been saying over the years, and I hope that I never have to tell it to you ever again." This article is the substance of what I told her. Of course, I have elaborated on it a lot in this article.

2 + 2 = 4?

Life is full of frustrations. I spend half my life educating people:

"A is for Apple, B for Ball, C for Cat, D for Dog", etc.,

and when I am finished, they go back to

"A for Camel, B for Cat, D for Elephant, E for Zebra, John-Paul II was Pope and a holy man, and Christ was an ignorant fool"!

That's why I am banging my head against a brick wall.

All this is weary, dreary, fruitless work, like pouring water off a duck's back. I am beginning to think that, in the face of the Universal Cancer of Stupidity, it may be better to throw in the towel and suffer idiots in silence....

I don't think that my latest offering is going to change anything, but here goes.

One does not require to know Rocket Science in order to be able to have and use common sense; but in this age, common sense is considered as a dread contagious disease, and those "infected" by it are left severely alone.

So, since common sense won't get me where I need to go, I will try Rocket Science. Rocket Science for the Soul, to be precise.

Let us start with basics. God revealed Himself and His message to mankind through various prophets of Israel down the ages, revealing the coming of his incarnate son, the anointed one, who would die for the sins of man, be resurrected, ascend to heaven and return in the last days; the anointed one is God; he would be born of a virgin of the lineage of King David, at a certain prescribed time (see the prophet Daniel). In fulfillment of those prophecies, Jesus, the son of Mary, and the foster-son of Joseph, spouse of Mary, was born, lived among men, preached his Holy Gospel, died, was resurrected and has ascended to heaven. But before that, He established His Church, setting up Peter and his successors to rule over it in His stead, and under His guidance, till the end of time.

Now it is basic to message of God, both that revealed before the coming of the Anointed, and after, that there is only one true God, whom the Bible identifies as Jehovah (Yahweh) or Elohim, and that all the others who claim to be 'god' or for whom it is claimed that they are 'god' are false gods, and their worship strictly forbidden to those who wish to continue in the friendship of God.

This is encapsulated in the First Commandment.

Therefore, it is logical, that if we Christians are forbidden to worship the Baals, Chemosh, Moloch, Dagun, Astarte, and any other of the 'deities' of the pagan nations that surrounded historic Israel, we may not either worship or accept as in any manner legitimate the 'deities' of the pagans worldwide today — such as Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Allah, Sai Baba, etc.

Jesus Himself reiterates this same message of exclusivity, and after Him, St. Peter repeats the same when challenged by the Jewish Sanhedrin for preaching the Gospel.

Both before and after the coming of Jesus the Anointed One, friends of God have had to endure persecution and were even murdered, because they refused to worship the false gods. St. Daniel the Prophet underwent one such persecution, while the two books of Maccabees relate several such incidents. Most of the saints and martyrs of the Messianic Dispensation, such as all the apostles, including St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Thomas, with the sole exception of St. John the Beloved, who survived an attempt at murder, were likewise murdered for refusing to worship the false gods of the pagans; other prominent saints are St. Lawrence, St. Sebastian, St. Mauritius, St. Cecilia, St. Agnes, St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Philomena, etc. Most of the Catholic Churches or what were Catholic Churches until October 1958, are named after these martyrs and saints.

Therefore, it should be obvious that no true Christian can accept the pretensions that all religions are true, that one may legitimately worship Baal, Chemosh, Moloch, Astarte, Dagun, etc., or that these 'deities' are but manifestations of the same true God (Yahweh/Jehovah or Elohim) or that "the Holy Spirit has not neglected to use these religions as means of salvation", to quote from "Vatican II", etc., etc.

And therefore, if anyone pretends these things, he is not a Christian, but a Satanist.

So much, I hope, should be obvious.

Now it is further obvious, that a public and notorious Satanist CANNOT validly be elected Pope, and even if APPARENTLY elected, CANNOT in fact attain to the Papacy, external appearances to the contrary notwithstanding.

A Satanist cannot become pope, period. That is non-negotiable.

Now, it is public knowledge that the men who are known as "Pope John XXIII", "Pope Paul VI", "Pope John-Paul I" and "Pope John-Paul II" precisely taught that all religions — Protestantisms, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Shintoism, Vodunism, etc. — are all legitimate means of salvation, and have joined their votaries in joint worship sessions where the demons of the pagans, consistently denounced as false gods by God in the Bible, have been worshipped, ostensibly together with the worship of the true God.

Such acts are the height of blasphemy, and demonstrate that these "popes" are in fact nothing but Satanists, absolutely incapable of being popes in reality.

Yet, despite these public facts, great numbers insist on applying the name and title of "Pope" to these vile, vicious, evil men.

In doing so, they both blaspheme God and make themselves coparceners in crime, fellow-robbers of the True Church, and receivers of stolen goods.

Christ Jesus did not make, cannot make and will not make a public and notorious heretic — nay, even an apostate — Pope. To claim that Christ can, and did, is to assert that Christ can do evil and has done evil.

To assert that "John-Paul II" was Pope is to SPIT in the face of Christ Jesus.

The claim that "John-Paul II" was legitimate Pope is also absurd and contrary to logic. The entire "Gospel" of "John-Paul II" consists in denying that Christ is exclusively God — negating the exclusivism reiterated insistently by the Bible, which message is the soul of Christianity. Therefore:

A Pope is merely lieutenant of Christ, made and sustained by Christ.

Therefore, to be legitimate Pope, the Claims of Christ must be affirmed as True.

But "John-Paul II" factually denies the Claims of Christ.

Therefore, since Christ is false (according to "John-Paul II"),

There cannot really be any such thing as a Pope!

Therefore, logically, "John-Paul II" cannot really be Pope!

But true Catholics truly believe in the claims of Christ, in contrast to the denial of Christ's claims by the Fake Catholic Church... and its fake "popes"!

Not since Arius, Mu'Ahmad the Quraishite and Martin Luther, has any man caused so many souls to be damned to hell. More than even all these former examples, it is the Four Balaams, Roncalli ("John XXIII-II"), Montini ("Paul VI") and Wojtyla ("John-Paul II") who have flooded hell with souls!

The Cultees of Balaam IV Abominationeshwara are attempting &$151; not too subtly — to bestow upon this vile monster the appelation of "The Great". "Great" like in Rasputin, the Greatest Fornicator before Wojtyla dawned on the scene? But I agree that it is apt to bestow this appelation of "Great" on this monster, for he is truly the GREAT DEVASTATOR, or to use a favorite phrase of one of my favorite saints, John Bosco, "Murderer of Souls"! For this monster Wojtyla has truly achieved great spiritual devastation — even a near Universal Spiritual Genocide! He is truly "The Great"!

The Fake Catholic Church falls down and worships its Baal, Wojtyla: "Beelzebub is dead! Long live Beelzebub!"

An Anatomy of Fraud and Cowardice

If I were to preach that Martin Luther King believed that the Black Race is truly inferior and ought to submit to the White Race and acknowledge them as their masters, his followers would rightly say that I am a liar and a falsifier, that I am peddling a false, fabricated Martin Luther King.

If I were to preach that Mohandas Caramchand Gandhi believed in violence, or that there is nothing wrong in eating beef, or that Hinduism is a despicable, inferior religion, his followers would rightly say that I am a liar and a falsifier, that I am peddling a false, fabricated Gandhi.

Yet, is it not that Gandhi himself peddled a false fabricated Christ? Did not Gandhi seek to mislead people into believing that Christ's message consisted solely in the Sermon on the Mount, and nothing else, negated Christ's claim to be God and the only begotten Son of God, and pretended that all men are sons of God, yet pretended also to be a practicing "Christian" in fact if not in name, when he appealed to missionaries to abandon proselytization?

Therefore, did not Gandhi thereby demonstrate himself a liar and a fraudster, a conman peddling a spurious, contrived Christ which had no relation to the true Christ?

And is this not cowardice, when a man has not the courage to say forthrightedly and upfront that he contemned Jesus Christ, but who sought to cowardly pretend to be a Christian in fact, only in order to deceive and to subvert and pervert those who esteem Christ?

But we are not concerned here with Gandhi, villain enough though he was, but with Karol Wojtyla, aka "Pope John Paul II".

Is it not a fact that Wojtyla did not believe in the true, historical Christ, but that he peddled a false, contrived Christ, one who, in opposition to the First Commandment, and the reiterated message of the exclusivism of the God of the Bible, has no real opposition to the false gods of the pagans?

Like Gandhi before him, and like Roncalli ("John XXIII") and Montini ("Paul VI") before him, who were his direct gurus, Wojtyla was a coward and a thief, a man without courage to go out and establish his own religion, but who made his career in stealing another man's religion, in order to make it over to his own new belief.

Jesus... A Bastard?

Yesterday, when I arrived home from work, I found the latest, April edition of the Don Bosco's Madonna waiting for me. My father had once subsidized the Non-Salesians in the making of one of their Unpriests, and as a result, although my father has long departed this world, I continue to be afflicted by this journalistic rag....

On pages 10 & 11, appears the article Walking With The Church, by "Father" Peter Stravinskas of UnCatholic Answers, Indiana, USA. Here is Question N^o. 4, and Mr. Stravinskas' answer:

Question: A friend of mine insists that Our Lady was an "unwed mother." I disputed this but need to know more about the Jewish marriage rites of the period. (K.R.).

Answer: When people use that expression for the Blessed Mother, they are generally attempting to highlight the trying circumstances surrounding the conception and birth of Jesus and the fact that St. Joseph, to whom Mary was wed, was not the father of the Christ Child.

While it places our Lady in solidarity with unwed mothers today who need an example of protecting unborn human life, even in the midst of difficulties and embarrassment, to the extent that the image is inaccurate, it does not really help over the long haul.

Far better, it seems to me, to make the correct point: namely, that in today's culture Mary would have been an apt candidate for abortion, but faith and respect for human life did not present these viable options for her, just as they should not for anyone who follows her Son today.

By seeking her intercession and attending to her example, girls and women can imitate her faithful love.

I asked my sister to read this and to tell me what she thought of it, then I explained to her what it meant...

Women have abortions for largely three reasons:

They are unwed mothers, and do not want either the stigma or the burden of the child;

They already have large families and do not want more children;

They do not want children at all, for purely materialistic reasons, as children demand their time, and interrupt their pleasures and orgies.

It is a fact that, according to Jewish customs of the time, betrothal was considered as equivalent to marriage. Therefore, Mother Mary was NOT an "unwed mother". Given that, I cannot see how Mother Mary "would have been an apt candidate for abortion" — an abortion premised on her being an "unwed mother." Certainly, Mother Mary could not have been a "candidate for abortion" on the other two grounds that I have set out.

But what is worse is that, by refusing to answer by giving the direct and reasonable answer
expressly sought — "Jewish marriage rites of the period" — Mr. Stravinskas actually leads the reader to the conclusion that Mother Mary was, in fact, an unwed mother when she conceived Jesus.

It is necessary to consider the implications of this very carefully. If Mary was an unwed mother, it was not a holy act, and it could not be attributed to the action of God, but must be the result of adultery or fornication. Therefore, Jesus could not be God, or even holy in any sense, but was merely a bastard born of adultery or fornication. And, therefore, Mary cannot be the Spiritual Mother of all the Faithful, so that the term "Mother Mary" becomes inapt.

But there is more than just this. Mr. Stravinskas refuses to admonish people to abstain from pre-marital sex, or to avoid extra-marital sex, but instead he attempts to prostitute the Holy Mother of God by making her the Patron Saint of "Unwed Mothers"!

Here is what the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1914, has to say on the subject:

Jewish maidens were considered marriageable at the age of twelve years and six months, though the actual age of the bride varied with circumstances. The marriage was preceded by the betrothal, after which the bride legally belonged to the bridegroom, though she did not live with him till about a year later, when the marriage used to be celebrated.

After her return from Elizabeth, Mary "was found with child, of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 1:18). As among the Jews, betrothal was a real marriage, the use of marriage after the time of espousals presented nothing unusual among them. Hence Mary's pregnancy could not astonish anyone except St. Joseph. As he did not know the mystery of the Incarnation, the situation must have been extremely painful both to him and to Mary.

The Evangelist says: "Whereupon Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately" (Matthew 1:19). Mary left the solution of the difficulty to God, and God informed the perplexed spouse in His own time of the true condition of Mary.

While Joseph "thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For He shall save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:20-21).

Not long after this revelation, Joseph concluded the ritual marriage contract with Mary. The Gospel simply says: "Joseph rising up from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife" (Matthew 1:24). [Emphases added.]

Note that the accounts mention Mary as being Joseph's wife already, merely on the strength of their betrothal, and even before their formal marriage.

If it had been true that Jesus was conceived out of wedlock, we would not have heard the end of it, and Christianity would have been stillborn!

Beelzebub Rising...

The 4^th. beast is dead. Plans are afoot to raise up the 5^th. beast, to continue the tradition of blasphemies and sacrileges that is the Antichurch, the Fake Catholic Church in the hijacked Vatican.

Why waste time in all this shenanigans? Would it not be easier and simpler to confer the succession on the Dalai Lama? In one stroke, you will have accomplished all that Roncalli, Montini, Luciani and Wojtyla have always desired!

Many of the more radical of the Modernist heretics have been disappointed in Wojtyla, who refused to agree to rapid reforms, and have accused him of betraying and even reversing the reforms. But as a matter of fact, Montini and Wojtyla have chosen to pursue the Great Apostasy carefully and with prudence, choosing slow, gradual steps to outright revolution. Yet, gradualism was only a means to an end, not an end in itself, and Wojtyla has led his dupes and accomplices far along the path of evil, thus paving the way for a successful radical revolution in the term of his successor.

Therefore, during the term of the 5^th. beast, one can expect great and giddy happenings. I speculate here, but I am pretty certain that these things will come to be:

Beast N^o. 5 will fulfil the long reiterated demand of radicals for a 2^nd. Pandemonium ("Vatican III"), to put the 'Reform' on turbodrive.

Unlike the comparatively small representation of other religions at "Vatican II", at "Vatican III" other religions will take an active and equal part in the effort at forging a modern, progressive One World Religion... Pandemonium II will be more of a World Parliament of Religions than merely an intra-ecclesial summit.

In Pandemonium II, Beast N^o. 5 will make celibacy optional, permit ordination of womyn, accept emancipation of sodomites and accord them equal rights, including that of "marriage" in church, and lots more.

The net result will be that man will have progressed further and closer to the Kingdom of the Antichrist and to the Jewish One World Government and Empire!

In fact, we are now entering a most dangerous time. The International Conspiracy behind Freemasonry that wrought the Counterculture, has activated it in recent years on the pretext of opposing George Bush, largely a mindless hysteria. Complementary to this hysteria is an effort to push the hordes of idiots to terrorize and intimidate the world into a One World Government. Pandemonium II, with its complementary effort at forging the One World Religion, will only add to this.

Column in the Economic Times, Bombay, Friday, March 18, 2005

"Citings: Gandhi & Gutierrez"

by Fr. John Chathanatt, S.J., "theologian", Vidyajyoti, Delhi:

As the supreme value in politics, religion and ethics, and as the ultimate source of appeal and authority, satya is the foundation of all reality. Throughout his life Gandhi struggled for the realisation of Truth through ahimsa. His life-experience convinced him, as he confessed at the end of his autobiography, that "there is no other God than Truth". On deeper analysis one would find that "Satya is the only correct and fully significant name for God."

His relentless life of contemplative-action is a saga of the pursuit of Truth. From his deep conviction that "morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of morality", search for Truth became the sole objective of his life. As he grew in wisdom and knowledge, "truth began to grow in magnitude and every day my definition of it has been widening", until he reversed the expression "God is Truth" to "Truth is God", in order to make, as it were, the absolute and ultimate foundation of all life and actions.

He claims that "This truth is not only truthfulness in word, but truthfulness in thought also and not only the relative truth of our conception but also the absolute Truth, the Eternal Principle, that is God." His depiction of truth as a goal to be approximated rather than an archetype or a full revelation given at a particular moment of history speaks of his understanding of Truth as a final telos that sparks out in the partial truths found in human hearts and manifested in various faiths.

Half Catholic?

2005-03-19T19:54:00.000+05:00

What is the truth about the Fake Catholic Church?

In the "principles" enunciated as part of the program of "Updatation" or Aggiornomento, the Antipope John XXIII-II, and formalized by the Latrocinium styled "Vatican II", the basic principles of the Catholic Church were repudiated in totality, so that a New Religion and a New Church were thereby constituted, one with no identity and continuity with the Catholic Church.

Yet, nevertheless, the Brand Name of the Catholic Church has been usurped by this apostate body, not so that it may be Catholic, but so that it may abuse this name in order to decoy souls into hell.

Recently, an article by the Antipope John-Paul II has come to my attention; "Lumen Orientale" (Light of the East) published as an "Apostolic Letter", of which a redaction appeared in the Don Bosco's Madonna, November 2003.

The article is available off the servers of the Hijacked Vatican, hijacked by the Antichurch, the Fake Catholic Church.

This document teaches that:

"Since, in fact, we believe that the venerable and ancient tradition of the Eastern Churches is an integral part of the heritage of Christ's Church, the first need for Catholics is to be familiar with that tradition, so as to be nourished by it and to encourage the process of unity in the best way possible for each.

"Our Eastern Catholic brothers and sisters are very conscious of being the living bearers of this tradition, together with our Orthodox brothers and sisters.

"The members of the Catholic Church of the Latin tradition must also be fully acquainted with thsi treasure and thus feel, with the Pope, a passionate longing that the full manifestation of the Church's catholicity be restored to the Church and to the world, expressed not by a single tradition, and still less by one community in opposition to the other."

The emphases are reproduced from the Madonna.

Those members of the Fake Catholic Church who were once Catholics may remember that the Catholic Church has four inviolable attributes: Oneness, Holiness, Catholicity and Apostolicity. These are the four marks by which the true Church is recognizable, as we have been taught by our catechisms.

But the implications of this document are:

The "Church" over which John-Paul II presides, does NOT possess the vital and essential mark of full and inviolable Catholicity, so that it is not, in fact, truly Catholic at all!
It further also does not possess the equally vital and inviolable attribute of unity.
The Eastern Traditions, largely the traditions of those who had departed the Catholic Church into heresy and schism, and from which portions have returned and have been permitted to continue with some form of the liturgy and rituals as celebrated by the main, schismatic body, is now elevated to a tradition equal in all respects to the Latin Rite, in sharp contradiction of the Catholic principle "Praestantia ritus latinii" under which the Council of Trent acted to suppress several local rites and substitute the Roman rite in their stead!

It is evident, therefore, to any true Catholic, that this document "Lumen Orientale" is Satanic!

Against David Trosch

2005-03-18T03:19:00.000+05:00

http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/detrosch.html

Dear Justin Donatus,

I have at last been able to take time off to examine David Trosch's arguments, and can make a statement.

As I have said before, I am already familiar with Trosch, and have dismissed him from consideration as being unorthodox. This was primarily because of his pretension that Catholics priests may lawfully marry. Trosch pretends that priests may marry, but only to virgins, not to widows. This is contrary to Catholic doctrine and law.

Subsequent to your mail, I had visited Trosch's site once again, when I found that he pretends that circumcision continues to remain lawful and obligatory, once again contradicting Catholic doctrine:

"Christian and Jewish fathers now and have always been required to circumcise their sons. Medical evidence now supports the importance of this procedure that God has always understood. The act has additional significance in religion."

On a further examination of such of his pages as I have downloaded for examination, I can say this much with absolute certainty: I do not know if Trosch is of Jewish origins, which is what I strongly suspect, but I know that he is a Judaizer and teaches Judaization. Judaization is condemned by Catholic doctrine.

All of the above is by way of background to demonstrate that Trosch is wholly unorthodox.

Perhaps, the worst error that Trosch teaches is this:

"A legal procedure (canonical) could and perhaps should be established to discipline and possibly replace an intractable pope when it can be clearly and publicly established that he is incompetent or is in heresy."

This is so totally repugnant to Catholic doctrine! Orthodox doctrine teaches that a pope cannot be judged by Christians, being his subordinates, but a man can be shown to have been judged and therefore to have fallen from the papacy.

Coming to the page that you referred to, on examination, it is evident that Trosch is once again totally unorthodox and in error:

"Infiltrators into the priesthood such as communists, satanists (those who accept Satan as their god to whom they offer human sacrifices. They also incorporate desecration of morally consecrated Catholic Hosts the living Body of Christ [a legal only priest such as a satanist is incapable of validly consecrating bread and wine... including those ordained without accepting the full authenticity of Scripture from Genesis to the Apocalypse (Revelation) have only legal recognition. They do not have moral priesthood (true ordination). While such men do have legal authority in relation to six of the seven sacraments and in relation to civil matters, they do not have the blessing (authority) of God to consecrate the Holy Eucharist or to perform exorcisms."

"Candidates for the priesthood who do not believe in the entirety of the Word of God the whole of Sacred Scripture should not be considered as being morally ordainable."

"Until removed such offenders legally hold office but do not have moral authority and it is believed that offending priests (legally but not morally holding the office of priest) do not bring Jesus present in the Holy Eucharist and consequently waste the offerings of the participating congregation (priestly people)."

The distinction he makes is false and non-existent.

It is Catholic theology that a bad or immoral man can both be lawfully ordained and can lawfully consecrate, and that those who communicate at his hands receive all the graces Christ Jesus promised, if the rite is performed in the unity of the Church, and not in schism or in a sect.

It is Catholic theology that even a heretic and schismatic with valid orders can ordain and consecrate validly even though in schism, and if he uses the correct matter and form and has the correct intention; likewise, even a heretic or schismatic can be lawfully ordained or consecrated, and can confect the sacraments if he uses the correct matter and form and has the correct intention, although such a confection would be unlawful, unholy and would aggravate his sins [being an extremely grave mortal sin].

The distinction that Trosch makes between the "Chair of Peter" and the "Office of Peter" is a pure innovation without any history in the Doctrine of the Church.

According to Catholic theology, an immoral pope would still be lawful pope; on the contrary, a man who has been a heretic from prior to his purported election as pope, never lawfully attained to the Papacy.

It is the logic of every body that aliens, and even more, those with an inimical belief, cannot attain to their governmental positions, or be considered to be members in any true manner.

Let us take an analogy. Suppose that in some country, beset with invasions and insurgencies of Communists, an anti-Communist body has been set up. Suppose, however, that it is discovered that a high ranking officer in this organisation has been discovered to be a covert Communist, a plant, made plain by his words and actions, and who seeks to compromise and subvert the organization in order to enable the Communists. The rank and file would be entirely right in disowning him as a fraud, and to reject any agreement or compromise that he may make, reject these agreements as invalid, null and void and without any binding authority.

As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the members of the organization will insist that, being a Communist, that man is not even a member, and therefore entirely ineligible to being an officer and to negotiate on their behalf!

Take things closer home. Suppose we have a man who claims to be a Christian, yet nevertheless publicly denies that Christ is God or that Christ ever really existed. Such a man is a public heretic. Yet, if such a man was "elected" pope, so that he could teach and implement his heresies, the vast majority of Christians would reject him as being an alien, one who has separated himself from the Christian community, and who is, therefore, utterly incapable of attaining to any position of government or authority within the Christian community.

This is also Church Law. It is Canon Law; it is also the Law as legislated by Pope Paul IV in 1559, by way of his Apostolic Constitution Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio.

The question therefore is whether the current bunch of men, obvious malefactors out to destroy Christianity, are heretics or are merely confused, yet nevertheless, legitimate members of the Church.

The confusion is created because these men (John XXIII, Paul VI, John-Paul I & II) sometimes act as if they are staunch, orthodox Catholics, yet on far more occassions, as vicious, anti-Catholics.

But there is no REAL ground for confusion.

Pope St. Pius X had already studied the heresy of these people, and had isolated and described the pathogen. The apparent "confusion" is actually only a trick, dissembling, in order to deliberately confuse souls.

St. Pius X described them as pretending to be staunchly Catholic in one statement, and vicious heretics and anti-Catholics in another. This is the description that fits these four men and all their minions like Rahner, Kung, Boff, Schillebeecks, Ratzinger, Frings, Suenens, etc. snugly.

Therefore there is no ground whatsoever for confusion.

The Bible warns us that the enemy strives to subvert us by coming in and pretending to be of us, that they may seduce us from truth and into error. Even in this crisis, this is true.

Lefebvre and all his minions themselves confess that "John XXIII" and Company are heretics who meet all the definitions of the Church for being persons who had incurred excommunications and therefore could never have legitimately become pope. Yet nevertheless, the Lefebvrists pretend that these "popes" are nevertheless still legitimate popes!

Likewise, Michel Guerard des Lauriers too pretends that, despite all the clear and unequivocal teachings and laws of the Church, these antipopes are still legitimate popes! This teaching is put under the form of the "Papa materialiter, papa formaliter" formula.

J. Lawrence Case teaches a heresy patterned on Des Lauriers'.

Trosch, too, it is evident, is teaching the same heresy as Des Lauriers, though he puts it in a much more simplified (and nonsensical) form than Des Lauriers, Lefebvre or Case!

I hope that I have answered your query satisfactorily.

For further reading, I would suggest that you print out a copy of Pope Paul IV's Apostolic Constitution Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Pius IX's Syllabus Errorum, Pope St. Pius X's pronouncements and legislations against the Modernist heresy (Lamentabili Sane, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, Praestantia Scriptura, Antistitium Sacrorum, etc) and Pope Pius XI's Mortalium Animos.

See also my tract Repair My Church.

These documents will utterly demolish all the lies and pretensions of the Modernists, presently led by the Polish ham-actor Karol Jozef Wojtyla, and also of the Lefebvre, Des Lauriers, J. Lawrence Case and Trosch parties.

Regards,

Lúcio

Subject: Who has the right or authority to invalidate John Paul II's election as Pope?

Mr Lúcio Mascarenhas,

I refer to Fr. David Trosch's presentation http://www.trosch.org/the/papal-validity.html and the election of Mr David Bawden as Pope Michael I, your site http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/michaeline.html.

I am left confused as to whom shall I regard as the true Pope. I am a Catholic and find it very difficult to study both presentation and make the decision due to lack of proper basic understanding and knowledge. (I am still catching up but at a slower pace). May I suggest that a kind of reply (objection?) be prepared against Fr. Trosch's presentation. Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Donatus Justin.

Keeping the Lowlife in its Place

2005-03-17T20:04:00.000+05:00

http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/lowlife.html

It is necessary to understand that Hinduism is not only paganism, it is also practically the most debased, insane form of surviving paganism anywhere in the world today. It is deeply into coprolatry (dung-worship) and coprophagy (consumption of dung). Hinduism's central tenet is the godhood of the cow, and of her rear end being the portal of the gods. As a result, a cow or cows parked inside the temple compound, where "devotees" come and touch their hands to the cow's rear end, and then to their mouths, forehead and chest is de rigeur. Before doing that, they purchase a few tufts of grass and feed it in the front end.

No one should entertain any delusion that Hinduism is not Indianism, that they are separate and distinct things; they are one and the same thing, and are absolutely inseparable, as any daily reader of the Indian press should be able to certify.

Years ago, when I was less experienced in the history and facts of the Goan movement, and when I was ignorant of the true attitude of certain persons to the Goan Movement, I had subscribed to be a member of Jose Colaco's list, Goa-Goans. However, I soon learnt that while he pretended to be a Christian, he was an Evolutionist and Modernist, besides publicly teaching Cowardice and Collaboration with Traitors and the Occupation and publicly ridiculing the Goan Resistance. At that point, I walked out of his "Club of Asses" and severed all connections with him.

Prominent in this Clubo dos Burros is a "Dr. Santosh Helekar" (the Chimp of Chimbel) who religiously propagates the Mythology of Evolution, that "Official Religion of the Modern World", with the backing and support of Jose Colaco.

The Chimp of Chimbel has constituted himself the Apostle of the Evolutionist heresy, and despite my clearly specifying that I am not interested in his profound vaporings, has presumed to address me. As far as he is concerned, I can perceive that Evolution is true in so far as that the worm has evolved its outer form to look human, yet nevertheless, it remains a contemptible worm within and in its essence.

We know where the Chimp is headed; his parents have named him well at birth Hell-kar, belonging to Hell!

About a year after, in late December 2003, Jose Colaco sent me and others, "Christmas Greetings". I do not see what a public heretic, apostate and Evolutionist has got to do with Christmas, and I refused to be maudlin and sentimental and thereby to be suckered by a vicious enemy of Christ into returning to his anti-Christian company. Therefore, I sternly reminded the creep that I did not welcome any communications from him, and considered all his communications as being Spam.

Nevertheless, despite this, and despite his close associate Gaspar "the Ghanticar" Almeida of Kuwait being present on the GoanCenter list for nearly a month before, Jose Colaco once again wrote me, in December 2004, this time to be admitted to the GoanCenter, an application which I sternly turned down.

Sometime in late November 2004, or thereabouts, Gaspar Almeida, co-moderator of Jose Colacos Goa-Goans list, and a founder-moderator of the Gulf-Goans list, sought admission and was admitted to the Goancenter. In late January 2005, once I was assured of the fact that Gasparji Almeidaji was a Ghanticar, devotee of the Indian banshire (rag-flag), and a veteran member of the Club of Asses, I turfed him out on his fat face out of the GoanCenter list.

Yet, however, in the last few days, the Big Pig, Dr. Witless-of-the-Banana-Islands, and his accomplices, the Ghanticar and the Chimp have had the effrontery to write to me once again.

Now, I consider these people to be unmitigated vermin; men who have repudiated their humanity for bestiality, and who are therefore contemptible and beneath the level even of the mute beasts. They are public criminals, criminals who publicly revel in their criminality. IN A WORD: THEY ARE LOWLIFE!

There are many people who are forced by circumstances and by poverty and by a lower standard of social education and upbringing into a state that is generally considered to be the "underbelly" of Society. I believe that this class of people, including thousands of girls from communities enslaved by ruling elites kidnapped and forced into prostitution in Bombay, to be victims and not criminals. But even a repentant sinner and a sinner who strives to overcome his long ingrained propensity to public sin are better than unreformed sinners, public sinners who not only are unashamed of their criminality but who positively revel in it.

But is it not true that even a brass-faced street hussy, a victim of circumstances, has got gazillion tons of decency and honor more than the much-vaunted, yet utterly non-existing honor and decency of the Club of Asses?

For me it is absolutely intolerable that any of these vermin should presume to such liberties with me, or to delude themselves that they are my equals, that they may put up one of their filthy paws upon me. And when one of them does that, they must know and expect a harsh and stinging punishment to drive them away and to remind them of what they are and will always be, as long as they continue in their course: moral lepers, filth and rubbish in human form, who are not permitted to raise up their faces to us men, and to come into our presences and to address us.

We are aware that pigs grunt, dogs bark and quacks quack; I see no reason why I should join them.

It is my moral duty to expose filth and to fight evil, and this I will continue to do under any circumstance. But if I write of pigs and of their sporting in the muck, and of their voracious appetite for human dung, and if I write of dogs returning to their vomit, and of quacks quacking, as a familiar observer, it does not give the pigs and dogs and quacks any kind of right to presume that I am one of them, and to take liberties with me.

If I write of them, I write of them, not to them. I do not deign to address my words to them, for, heeding my Lord and Master Christ Jesus, I do not cast my pearls before swine, nor bread before dogs. But if I write of the doings of these vermin, I write to and for men, and for the edification of men.

Nor will I accept that I have a moral duty, if I criticize the pig and the dog, and the scum of the marshes, to get down into the sewer with them and indulge in hand-to-hand combat with pigs, dogs, quacks and other slimy swamp-things; no way!

When the lowlife forget their place and presume to intrude upon us, they must expect to be cudgeled back to their proper place and station in life the sewer. If they are not cudgeled, they will develop the assumption that they can encroach upon us and impose themselves upon us.

We are, by and large, Goans, experienced in the traditional means of disposal of human waste; we are therefore experienced with the fact that the pigs range close to the defecatories rooting for their bread and breakfasts. So be it; but sometimes, Jose Colaco, Santosh Helekar and Gasparji Almeidaji get too presumptuous, come too close and startle folk and frighten the children, when it is time to throw stones at them and drive them away to a safer distance.

And if they will not heed the warnings, then it is time to crack the whip, to burn and to brand the law deep and harshly into their minds; that they are Lowlife and must keep away from us human folk, for they pollute and contaminate us.

Hear me loud and clear....

The "Honorableness" of A Premier Goan Traitor, Dr. Witless

2005-03-16T21:11:00.000+05:00

On the specious site inflicted upon already suffering humanity, by the indomitable reveller-in-chief of vomit, Dr. Witless of the Banana Islands, [colaco.net], one is intrigued by the section called "Honorado Goans"

In this list of "Honorado Goans" is that illustrious guttersnipe Dr. Juliao Meneses, with two traitor-accomplices of our dear Dr. Witless providing a hagiography each (Juliao Meneses is that Socialist/Communist who invited that Bihari Neanderthal yokel, Lohia, in order to begin the Rape of Goa, so that Goa could be transformed into another Bihar!):

But this listing of Juliao Meneses as a "Honorado Goan" is rather incongrous when one considers the impudent response Dr. Witless gave to Dr. Meneses' chief pupil, Lamberto Mascarenhas, which I reproduce here for your consideration:

Message 18988
From: The Goan Forum <tgf_coordinators@y...>
Date: Sat Feb 12, 2005 2:26 pm
Subject: Too Late Mr. Lambert Mascarenhas. Snakes don't go anywhere.

Lambert Mascarenhas writing on 12 Feb 2005 The Goan Observer

REGIONAL PARTY

With such characterless, unreliable Congressmen and even if BJP manages to return to power, contradicting my earlier decision, I feel Goa must now have its own regional party to be formed by the Goa Su-Raj and Lok Shakti groups who have dedicated activists like Floriano Lobo, Datta Naik, Dr Francisco Colaco and others to lift Goa from the morass it is and will be. This regional party, of our own, will not have to consult or run to Delhi or to hell to secure sanctions for its actions and decisions.

TGF response:

Sorry Mr. Lambert Mascarenhas. Can't eat the cake and have it too.

Think about it.

If people like you hadn't gone to New Delhi, would the BJP and Congress be in Goa?

If the BJP and Congress were not in Goa, why would anyone HAVE to go to Delhi in 2005?

You are expecting others to NOW "lift Goa from the morass"?

Sorry guy. That is not how this thing works.

One reaps what one sows.

The time for regional parties was in 1961 - not now.

And, there were regional parties from 1963 onwards.

What happened to them?

Why did they fall apart?

WHO controlled the purse strings?

HOW was the expenditure of funds approved and by WHOM?

What did you, Mr. Mascarenhas as the editor of a newspaper and as publisher of a magazine write at the time?

Did you accept dissenting voices? or were you just as Salazarist as Salazar. There are new Salazarists in Goa today. They have learnt from the original master (Salazar of course.

You know who they are. They too know who they are.

BTW:

What did you do when the Gorrment ruling Goa in 1962-1963 abolished (by decree) the communidades?

Did you (in 1963) advocate regional parties? Did you support them?

And NOW, you expect them to clean up the mess you'll helped create.

No Siree!

Will NOT happen.

You know how the saying goes Mr. Mascarenhas:

Don't Bring in the Snakes
To get rid of the Rats
Clean up the house
The rats will go
But don't bring in the Snakes
For snakes tend to Stay
and Multiply
and Bite!

TGF
Feb 12, 2005

And it it becomes to apparent that Dr. Witless, while decrying Lamberto's attempt to have his cake and eat it too, has been doing exactly that: trying to have his cake and eat it too!

Breath taking hypocrisy, what?

Eric Pinto: My Quest For Shiva
http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/2005-March/025233.html

Its pronounced Sheev, said a New York Jew to me, sternly, one does not cross paths with Him who is both creator and destroyer, he continued : my friend is right i think, on all counts. Hindus revere him for much the same reason, and Jews invite friends to 'sit Shiva', a prayer gathering held a week in to a death in the family. This is probably the only vestige of the old Faith that survives in the in the ethos of that proto-Ugarithic group ( i dislike the label Semitic), for they can thank Abraham for introducing them to the the dubious pleasures of monotheism, just as Zarusthra did for our folk a little to the west in Sumerian country.

Friend Shiva probably went to work early, in the Rift Valley, in the Gita Rama precincts, a city in Ruwanda. I lived in the region once, and i heard the same refrain when i asked - 'it was our religion we think, but no one seems to remember anymore'. Ethiopia has both, towns named Siva as well as Rama, but Egypt is the clincher: the Siva Oasis, where Alexander is buried. An Oracle had ordered it when he had inquired about the best route to to his Divinity on his death - it took the funeral caravan eighteen months to reach Siva from Macedonia.

We then set sail a short breeze to Kriti(Crete), you get to see the island in the movie Zorba the Greek, Siva is their third town. On this barren outcrop, you are expected to believe, "European" civilization saw the light of day. Amen.

There are Sivas in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, bless them all, and someday soon i hope there will be lttle Catholic boys in Goa who will be baptized Siva, and why not!!

What spiritual garbage is this?

2005-03-14T20:47:00.000+05:00

Lino Leitão. The Gift of the Holy Cross.
Review by Peter Nazareth, World Literature Today, Vol. 74:2
http://www.peepaltreepress.com/review_display.asp?rev_id=243

After three collections of short stories (see e.g. WLT 52:4, p. 695), Lino Leitão has now published his first novel. The Gift of the Holy Cross begins in Goa during Portuguese colonial times. The land is suffering from drought, which ends when Mario Jacques is born; people believe that he is a messiah. But what kind of a messiah, when Goans are divided, Hindu versus Catholic? When the landlord class, Catholic and Hindu, oppresses and exploits the workers and peasants? When Goa has been colonized for over four centuries, physically and mentally, while India is ending a hundred years of British colonial rule? Mario becomes a political figure, an unsuccessful one except that he is made a scapegoat for the antinationalists. When he escapes to India, he is disillusioned by politicians, for they want to enrich themselves at the expense of the people.

Mario fell in love with a nationalistic Hindu girl, through whom he grew to spiritual and political consciousness; but her parents would not permit love with a Catholic, and she committed suicide. In Bombay, he has a sexual affair with the wife of his political mentor, who refused to have sexual relations with her because she had been raped by Portuguese supporters on their wedding night. Out of this sexual awakening, she becomes attractive to her husband again.

Mario teeters on the edge of becoming a Woody Allenish messiah who dies in a parody of the crucifixion - but he does not fall over. He discovers through his experiences that he must penetrate anticolonial, religious, class, and caste politics to get to a deeper spiritual possibility. 'You’re nothing but a bunch of hypocrites,' he says to the politicians. 'You can preach Gandhi, you can preach Buddha and you can preach Christ, but none of you want to act according to the principles of these masters.' He heeds the words of Jozin-Bab, a centenarian: 'Always remember this, Mario: A nation that doesn’t aspire to be an industrial giant may be exploited by the others. But a nation that doesn’t grow spiritually will be in worse trouble.'

The political and personal intertwine. Two brothers blame Mario for the death of their father, who suffered a heart attack after being attacked by nationalists. 'He thinks he is some kind of Christ, so let’s see how he would like to hang from the cross,' says one of them. There is a new drought created by the new breed of politicians. What will save the people? Awareness and acceptance of responsibility will. Mario becomes a beacon, his dying words being in Sanskrit, thus indigenizing the lesson of the Crucifixion. Leitão is a fine storyteller with a satiric political consciousness and a spiritual vision of a people’s awakening.

There is a Caucus of self-appointed "gentlemen" who have "exalted"
themselves to the eminent position of being paltu soone for Mahaan
Bharat.

These "exalted gentlemen", who can never have enough of eating vomit, make it their business to teach Goans that we should love and exult in being enslaved, debased, degraded and dehumanized, which is what the Occupation is all about.

This Caucus of Street Dogs proudly and valiantly flaunt the banner of slavery, of the Rape of Goa - it is their badge of pride and
identity.

As paltu soone, it is their religious duty to pervert and subvert the morality of all Goans, to pre-empt any stirrings of conscience, of any attempt by Goans to fulfil their moral obligations which is to war against the Rape of Goa, begun in 1954, 1961, and continuing
every day ever since.

First, the enemy seeks to sweet-talk any person who begins to
question their criminal connivance in the Rape of our Mother Goa,
then, if he persists and will not prostitute himself like them, they
will resort to ridicule in an effort to browbeat him into silnece and inaction.

Where I am concerned, it is evident that I am far beyond any
cooption. That leaves the weapon of ridicule and of other means of
destroying, if possible.

Recently, these mongrels have decided to step up their campaign to
destroy me, to terrorize me into silence. The only reason they
indulge in this is because they do not know me - that they will get
no where even with this, where I am concerned.

If the mongrels hope that by provoking me, I will stoop to their
level, they are mistaken.

---

In late December, I had come to realize that certain persons, whom I
had believed to be neutral, were actually vicious enemies of Goa. I
threw them out one by one, but one was left behind. This man did not
ever write on our forum and was merely a silent spectator - or a
spy? - among us. However, I have decided that he does not belong
here, and that it is wrong to tolerate him any more, and so I have
turfed him out.

---

I wonder whether the fact that probably their last spy in the
GoanCenter was turfed out, that has acted as a provocation to their
latest effort. Immediately after Fake Barros began his mischief, I
altered the attributes of the GoanCenter forum to make its exchanges
inaccessible to non-members.

I think that we need to be on the watch for an attempt to place a new spy in our midst.

Traitors there will always be; traitors there must always be. But woe to him by whom scandal comes!

---

What is it about a small group, with relatively so few and
insignificant membership, compared to the mongrel-dogs' offerings,
that terrorizes these blackguards, and disturbs their peace? It is
precisely that a number, however small, has refused to kowtow to
their treason, that is a threat to their criminality.

---

The Enemy will always war against us; that is no reason for us to dig burrows and trenches and to allow caution to crimp our style and to restrict our work of patriotism and morality.

We at the GoanCenter are doing excellent work. It is time to
capitalize on, and expand this work.

I would strongly urge members to take the initiative to set up their
own websites and thus to proliferate patriotic sites. There are, as
of now, principally only three: Errol Rodrigues' Freegoa, Agnelo
Gomes' Goancauses, and the GoanCenter.

We need to expand, to push back the limits of the envelope; to
proliferate Goanism against the Curse of Indianism.

---

The Enemy scoffingly ask: What have these "Patriots" achieved?
Indeed, we have achieved much in a short time, and we will achieve a
lot more. Yet it is true that our achievements are slow and
relatively small. Yet, remember, "Rome was not built in a day." God
willing, and I believe that God wills it: We will get there, and
soon! Of this I am confident!

---

We need to increase the voices that stand up against India and
against the Goan traitors. We need to increase the volume. We need to increase the frequency.

GoanCenter has acted as a seminary, a training ground. It will
continue to fulfil that function. But we need to capitalize on this
by setting up new, additional sites that add to its voice.

Benjamin Franklin advised the citizens of the various English
American provinces seeking freedom from England: "Gentlemen, let us
hang together, or assuredly we shall be hanged together."

Let GoanCenter continue to be the place for Goan patriots to hang
together, the place where we coordinate our growing program to
destroy India and its Occupation of our beloved Goa, to end and to
avenge the Rape of our beloved Mother Goa.

God wills it!

Soitanotsav: The Feast of Satan

2005-03-09T21:54:00.000+05:00

Yesterday was Tuesday, March 8, 2005: "Maha-Shiv-Ratri" - "The Night of Shiva", when the Hindus celebrated one of their principal demons, Shiva. The Times of India, Bombay, was plastered with articles "celebrating" this demon.

On page 9, we have a box with the legend "Trans-cultural Maheshwara": "In Greece, a lingam (phallus) like figure called the Phallos is worshipped. Phallos is a derivative of the Sanskrit word Phalesh, meaning the (Hindu god that is) the giver of boons. It is worshipped on the darkest nights as in India." (Text in parentheses added).

This is a statement full of lies. The phallus was probably worshipped by some sects of the pagan Greeks, and certainly today, among the small and insignificant number of neo-pagans, who seek to revive Greek paganism, they would have revived the worship of the phallus. But to pretend that Greeks as a whole worship it, and in this day, is a brazenly monstrous lie.

Again, it is typical of Hindu fatuity that they pretend that all names all over the world, are derived from Sanskrit words.

But let us carry on with the subject in hand.

Since some years, the Times of India has been carrying a box on its editorial page, called "Sacred Space" where quotations from various "scriptures" and other works are given, often along with quotes from the Bible. When it was first commenced, I had objected, and I had suggested, that if they would not stop this insulting innovation, they should also add the "Decameron" and the "Mein Kampf" to the list of sources from which to quote.

However, dogs, especially humanoid or anthropomorphic dogs, are shameless; canine dogs are brute beasts and therefore unblameworthy, but anthropomorphic dogs cannot be excused.

Yesterday's "Sacred Space" was very interesting, and I would like to draw your attention to it.

The sub-heading of the column is the "Prince of Darkness".

We Christians know who the "Prince of Darkness" is: It is the Devil, or Satan, once Lucifer, Angel of Light, who, by his pride and conceit and rebellion against God, was deprived of his high status and cast down into the darkness - deprivation of the Presence of God, the Beatific Vision.

He is called the Prince of Darkness, because, being the most prominent, and the chief of the rebel angels, who were cast away to become devils, he is their Prince, the Prince of Darkness, Prince of those Accursed by God, for Darkness is the deprivation of the company of God.

The very term "Prince of Darkness" is not Hindu, but Christian, and solely Christian.

When other religions, such as the New Age or overtly Satan-worshipping religions such as that of Alastair Crowley, have used this term, they have used it in the Christian sense.

I now reproduce the quotes:

1. Terry Pratchett: "Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."

2. Shakespeare: "The prince of darkness is a gentleman."

3. Sanskrit shloka (chant): "O benevolent Shiva, whose dance is the whole of the cosmos, the music to which is all of creation, who is adored with the moon and stars as his jewels, and whose abhinaya is eternal, I bow before you!"

4. Eicher Company's Guide to the City of Varanasi (i.e. Kashi): "Shiva is not perfect: He is easy to anger, easier to please, prone to impulsive mistakes. It is because of this that he is loved so deeply by his devotees. Somehow, you feel that this many-hued "god" will listen to your prayers more kindly, understand your frailties better. And to seek his blessings you have to come to his special city - the ever luminous Kashi."

There is yet another, fifth quote, but it is not necessary to reproduce it. My point is merely to draw your attention to the fact that it is the Times of India, as worshipper of Shiva, who overtly identify this Hindu 'god' with the Devil of Christian terminology.

When Christians state this, of course, the Hindus riot and seek to terrorize their opponents into an "apology". But we Christians are grateful to the Times of India for stating the obvious: The Hindu 'gods' are devils! Thanks a lot!

Ethel da Costa: "The Losers' Anthem"

2005-03-03T20:18:00.000+05:00

Heart2heart: The LOSER Anthem

By Ethel da Costa

Dear Ex-Chief Minister,

Let me share a school song sung by the children of the Government Primary School, Porvorim, this Republic Day, January 26, during flag hoisting. It chilled the warmth in my blood, as also the guests witness to the function. I wonder your reaction when you read this. I would suppose you know where this is coming from.

'Hum hai Hindustan ke bache,

Aage badte jaayega,

Muslim ko bagayege,

Christian se ladenge

Kyonki hum hai Hindustan ke bache

Aage badte jayege...'

We are India's children...

Ever marching forward...

We will drive away the Muslims...

War upon the Christians...

Because we are India's children...

Ever marching forward....

Harmless school children went back home happy, singing a 'harmless' school song. The teachers stood there and watched. The seeds of communalism sown inside unknowing minds, because we still revere learning spaces as temples of the soul.... Was this your agenda for Goa for the years to come?

There's a cold wave in Kashmir, the mercury's rising in Goa, and going by the pictures on most national magazines — having the last laugh on Goa's political roller coaster - your sullen face is most unbecoming. The photo angles are all wrong. The lighting bad. Photographers having a field day catching you candid, when you think they are not looking. One chief minister is dethroned, the other comes in.

I remember the Blitz on Page 3, post Preity Zinta, and the Bollywood sirens that shared shoulder spaces with you during your one-man-political-party film festival. You were the man of the moment. Goa's No 1 Chief Minister playing the national paparazzi to the hilt. Hogging column spaces, partying at posh resorts (and bridges), directing traffic, vacating parking spots, ushering cronies and fuming guests and wanting to teach journos a good lesson who didn't toe your line.

Journos...you liked to believe they were part of the State's dowry to your political party. Use them, manipulate them, dump them. Moles in every newspaper, and well-fed cronies to ensure that news got to you first. Those who didn't give in, your machinery would step in to make sure they did. If they still didn't bite the bait, you termed them 'anti-establishment.' They didn't deserve your attention or respect.

Media management? Now, this you did perfect to an art form. I grant you that. You wanted to break their backs, when you couldn't break their pens. You wanted to silence their tongues with your own malicious, reverse propaganda, when you couldn't manipulate and manage them with your
ideology. Some fell like ninepins to the lure of commerce. The others, you threatened to throw them out of their jobs. For your avant-garde 21st century thought processes, you used 16th century manipulation weapons — religion and caste — to settle your scores. To win your allies, to tie them to their yoke with skeletons and baggage and fear.

Power does strange things to common men. See, where it got you? See, what it did to your own party? If you believe a soul cleansing is what you need, also believe that you sowed the seeds of deception with your own actions. Arrogance and Pride are mankind's own man made tickets to hell. A politician is no different. You fell victim to your weaknesses too.

Is the situation any better today? I don't believe so. It takes one thief to recognize the other, for Goa is turning into a den of murderers who have butchered the values of service, for self. It is up to the people now to see beyond the faces and look at their actions to decide the future of Goa. Actions that spell transparency, deeds that translate into governance, service that encourages prosperity of the State and her people.

Yet, your battle for power, despite the windfall, baffles me. Yes, intelligence does require that one fights back (we have done that too against your autocracy), but it also takes grace to know when enough is enough. And it is enough now. Quit in grace. Unless, you're fighting to protect the skeletons in your own cupboard. So, what are the ghosts haunting you, Mr Parrikar?

Sins etc.

2005-03-02T00:58:00.000+05:00

Dear Friends,

Many members of the Fake Catholic Church are upset over the release of an Indian movie, "Sins", which portrays one of their ministers fornicating and having a longtime affair with a woman even as he maneuvered for promotion in his sect.

Taking advantage of the Bombay High Courts recent order restricting the release of "Black Friday", the movie on the Serial Bomb Blasts in Bombay on a Friday in 1992, ostensibly blamed on Muslims seeking to avenge the Anti-Muslim Pogroms of December 91-January 92, acting on the appeal of the Muslims accused of being the perpetrators, even as their trial was ongoing and not concluded, some organizations representing the Fake Church approached the High Court for a similar stay and ban on the release of "Sins."

However, to their apparent distress, the High Court has refused to oblige.

Before some members of the Fake Catholic Church begin to whine about "persecution", I would like to remind them that it is precisely their sect that teaches its ministers that sex is a good and desirable thing, and that it is unhealthy and immoral to repress their carnal desires.

This fact has been more than amply demonstrated, and I will therefore not tire myself by repeating the relevant facts, other than by pointing out three bits of evidence:

The text appended below, taken from Einsicht, December 2004 a report by Dr. C.B. Andrade of Bangalore, and more particularly quoting a Fr. T.J. Chacko.

My page "Poisonfruit", which is an exposure of these teachings: http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/poisonfruit.html

The page "Wojtylas Pornographies", which demonstrate the fount and origin of this sewer, at being at the very head of the Fake Catholic Church: http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/voltivaspornographies.html

Kind regards,

Lucio

Innumerable seminars have been held at the NBCLC and are regularly attended by 'priests' and a large number of 'nuns' - more dangerous than the sultans wives. These indoctrinated 'priests' and 'nuns' then return to their localities and institutions to disseminate the poison they have imbibed at the seminars conducted at the NBCLC by Fr. Amalorpavadass and his minions.

The following extract from a letter to the CBCI by Fr. T. J. Chacko, Assistant Director, Pastoral Training Centre, Imphal / Manipur, who attended the NBCLC's tenth Intensive Training Course throws much light on the character of that Institution and on the so-called training imparted at its seminars.

Fr. Chacko writes:

"Interpersonal Relationship (IPR)."

One of the highlights of the course was the fostering of IPR. Besides the many lectures on IPR, we had a night-long discussion on sex relationship, physical expressions of love etc. It started at 8.30 p.m. and lasted till 2.30 a.m. of the following morning, which was short compared with the one during the previous course, which lasted till 4 a.m. Most of the participants perserved till the end anxiously and curiously waiting for the solemn conclusion given by the Director as to how far and how deep one can go in fostering IPR. The happy and infallible conclusion given by the Director in short was:

'Let us begin from the end, say, sexual intercourse; of course that is not allowed by the Church. But there are opinions that permit even that. I don't hold it, and the magisterium does not permit it. (Nor do I condemn it as none has the right to condemn.) As the attraction towards each other is good and normal, so also the physical expression of love is good and normal. Of course, we have to be mature and honest, respect each other's feelings, agree as to what sign to use and must not scandalize anyone... etc'

From this one can logically conclude the necessary consequences that would follow with-in the walls of the NBCLC of the CBCI, where all are taken to be mature and honest and well-instructed in IPR.

No wonder, quite a few priest-nun pairs emerged and were noted deepening their IPR often through the greater part of the night, some even spending weekends together elsewhere. Of course no one has the right to judge or get scandalized. Even if all this is natural and normal for those who are mature and learned, as our director, many of us thought that it is a little too early to go that deep, as most of us are not that mature, especially, as the Church's law of celibacy is not yet abolished."

Nothing I could say about the NBCLC would give the readers of EINSICHT a clearer picture of the true character of that institution and his Director. From what Fr. Chacko has written the place appears to be nothing but a "house of ill-fame". And let me add that no action was taken by the CBCI either to reprimand the director of the NBCLC or to intervene in any way to change the character of that iniquitous, pagan, heretical and scandalous institution.

If the Indian Bishops were true bishops they would have excommunicated Director Amalorpavadass, kicked him out into the gutter where he belongs and closed down the NBCLC which is a scandal to the Faith and a monument to iniquity.

But, perhaps, the Indian Bishops adopted a policy of laissez faire towards the NBCLC and its Director in the hope that they themselves might have the opportunity of practical participation in one of Amalorpavadass1 IPR classes!

Recently, there was a great furore among circles of a certain persuasion within the Fake Catholic Church, over the decision to throw open the Shrine of the Apparations of Fatima, desecrated since atleast the 1969 Protestant "New Mass", to pagans, and to the actual session of worship by the Indian pagans held there in May 2004.

In order to fool people, Antirome deputed Ivan Dias, a Indianized Goan, to lull the gullible back into sleep by pretending to address their grievances. At that time, I and Mr. John Meneses brought to the attention of the GoanCenter list, the fact that Dias was as bad, if not worse, as any other perpetrator of the Fake Catholic Church.

Dias is the man who takes part in the regular meetings every year all around Bombay, India and the world, with heretics, pagans and infidels, praying along with them and participating in their unlawful rites. Thus for example, he had participated in the meeting held at the K.J. Somaiya College at Vidyavihar, Bombay, where he lit a lamp in homage to the elephant-monster demon of the Indian pagans, a picture of which appeared in the newspapers.

Mr. John Meneses has been crying himself hoarse pointing out a particularly nasty bit of innovation by the Fake Catholic Church: Its "Ecumenical Directory" released by "Cardinal" Cassidy which mandates the erection of "Eucharistic Chapels" where the Fake Catholic cookies are to be stored away, so that the main church buildings can be opened eventually to heretics and pagans for their rites of worshipping Satan.

Recently I visited Borivali, where my sisters now live, and where there is the Christ the King parish of the Fake Catholic Church. Here, two adjacent flats were combined and being used for worship rites.

A few months back, this parish had approached several other parishes for donations in order to purchase grounds for building themselves their own church.

When I was told this, I asked my sisters that I did not see why they needed to build themselves a "church." Since they believe that their religion is as good as that of the pagans, and since the pagans have so many demonariums all over the place, why not join them in worshipping there? That would save on time and money, besides accomplishing all that "Vatican II" is about!

Now, on my latest visit to my sisters, I was told that, ostensibly because of the objection and violence of the pagans, objecting to the establishment of any further Christian buildings, the parish has decided that they will not build a structure that can be easily identified as a "church", but would imitate the Salesian institution of St. John Bosco in West Borivali, where, from outside, all that one can see is a school building, and there is a chapel only deeply embedded within the complex.

The "Christ the King" parish plans to build a dispensary and other structures visible from without, and embed their prayer-hall within this complex.

I think that this is cowardice. In the face of the aggression of the enemy, these people, instead of taking a stand against their violence and aggression, are yielding like a bunch of cowards.

Yet, is it really cowardice? I believe not. I know that the Fake Catholic Church, all outward appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, is very much in cahoots with the pagans and infidels, all of whom have been subsumed by the Freemasons and Noahides.

This is a deliberate effort to compromise the gullible dupes ("flock") of the Fake Catholic Church!

'End caste bias in tsunami relief'

2005-01-16T14:23:00.000+05:00

Sunday, 16 January , 2005, 10:57

Washington: Citing discrimination in relief to tsunami victims, Human Rights Watch called on the Indian government to ensure that tsunami victims receive assistance in 'an equitable manner without caste or religious bias.'

The New York-based rights group said it has received credible reports of discrimination in tsunami-stricken areas against Dalit communities by the authorities as well as by some aid groups and local communities.

It called on the Indian government to make efforts to counter caste or religious discrimination throughout the entire post-tsunami process of relief, rehabilitation and redevelopment. Discuss: Shame on us! Please distribute relief equally among tsunami victims

"In the aftermath of the tsunami, the Indian government should try to help Dalits who may be excluded from equitable relief and employment opportunities," said Brad Adams, Asia Director of Human Rights Watch.

About 10,000 people died in India in the December 26, tsunami most of them in Tamil Nadu state. A large number of victims were from fishing communities, perceived as coming from higher castes, who live along the coast.

Dalits who live further inland lost their livelihood and access to water because their wells were filled with seawater.

Human Rights Watch said that according to many press reports and an on-site investigation by the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), some higher-caste fishing communities refused to share emergency shelter and rations with the Dalits.

The NCDHR investigation also documented incidents in which authorities in parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu provided Dalits with less relief and support than other victims, the group added. Dalit areas have been the last to have electricity and water supplies restored during rehabilitation efforts, it said.

"The government should ensure that all government and NGO activities take steps to combat caste discrimination in the longer-term reconstruction efforts," said Adams.

"India has excellent legislation to prevent caste-based discrimination, but it should implement these laws to avoid adding the problems of caste-discrimination to the misery caused by the tsunami."

If someone wants to allege that I am blind, I will not cavil. I have just discovered to my astonishment that I overlooked for many years something too obvious. But I will come to that by-and-by.

On January 10, 2005, while poking around the Internet, I found (once again) the website of the Occupation Regime in Goa, one with a long list of "Goa websites" (http://goagovt.nic.in/othweb.htm). Listed among them are "stalwart" Goan sites, listed as if they are branches of the Occupation Regime, among its official organs! And this, mark you, is during the BJP's Parricar administration!

Among other sites is this "gem": http://www.goa-world.com [The Occupation lists the site wrongly as ".net".]

It is only when I followed the links that I noticed certain things, and certain other things, too obvious to miss, also struck me for totally the first time.

First of all, there is the "Goa-world" site, operated by Ulysses Meneses and Gaspar Almeida, who also operate the "Gulf-Goans" list. I have always wanted to know where these people's sympathies lay Â with Goa or with India, but could find nothing either way. Then, when I clicked on the "Goa-world" link, on the Occupation Regime's web page, all doubt and ambiguity was removed.

When the "Goa-world" website comes on, a small window is also opened, where the name Goa is superimposed on the Indian colors, and the "o" in Goa is replaced by a wheel Â the Indian Chakra Â constantly rotating.

This demolishes any doubt whatsoever as to who these people are, and where their affections lie Â with the Indian Union rather than with Goa!

I have rarely seen anything so insulting and so despicable as this graphic. Truly, it is proof that its originators are not "Goa-world" but an authentic "Chakram-world"!

But this discovery woke up another realization: I had been listening to Jose Colaco's pious pretensions that he believed that Goa was unjustly imposed upon by India, and that the only reason that he counseled connivance and even collaboration was because he believed that Goa and Goans are not capable of taking on the might of India.

Yet, the abomination of desolation that disgraces "Chakram-world" made me sit up and ask: Have I not seen Colaco fly the Indian flag alongside the Portuguese 1911 flag for years on his site? What earthly reason should Colaco have in flying the Indian flag?

Flying the Indian flag is proof that Colaco's pretensions are false and hypocritical, and that he is a man who tenders his loyalties to the Indian Union; so that, obviously, all his pretensions are merely eyewash meant to deceive the gullible!

I feel like kicking myself for having overlooked Colaco's Indian flag for so many years!

But what does the Indian flag and color represent when brandished by these Goans? It exhibits persons who rejoice in being chattels Â slaves Â of India, of traitors who rejoice in the Rape of Goa.

It demonstrates that these persons are proud to be India's branded products, its property!

The choice of sites listed is telling. The list does not include Errol Rodrigues' http://www.freegoa.com for obvious reasons. Nor, Agnelo Gomes' http://www.goancauses.com, for equally obvious reasons.

Yet, it also does not include Jose Colaco's "The Goan Forum". This is because, while counseling collaboration with the Indian bandits, it nevertheless catalogs their crimes and castigates them.

Re: God's will for His Church

Dear Mr. Danon,

You wrote: "I knew you did ('that we adhere to Pope Michael...'), but I genuinely didn't know that Mrs Benns did. Sorry for any offence caused." I will accept that there has been a sad misunderstanding, and I therefore apologize for my hard words.

You wrote: "If I did believe Mr Bawden's claims, I would, of course, refer to him in the way you do, and I'd need to do a jolly sight more too (e.g. seek to meet him and do him due obedience and reverence as Christ's vicar)." It is my intention too, to make my way to His Holiness the Pope, and make obeisance, besides helping him to move to Rome, where he rightfully belongs, but this is only according to my means.

I have put together, as far as I am able, a microsite on the Claims of His Holiness the Pope, which may be of help: http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/michaelinum.html Perhaps, if it does not meet your standards you could make suggestions how we may make up what is lacking?

You wrote: "...there are all sorts of groups on the web, some sedevacantist, though I'm not sure if that answers Mr Mascarenhas's point here." No they do not. There are sites on the internet that address the claims of Pulvermacher (very many sites), and a few on Viktor von Pentz aka Pope Linus II, but there are none on H.H. Pope Michael. My point is that there is a whispering campaign against Pope Michael, or that most "Trads" sedulously ignore him as if he were something queer, but there are no sites that meet the challenge of criticising and contradicting Pope Michael's claims, as they are obliged to, if they believe that his claim to be Pope is not true.

You wrote: "Perhaps what we disagree on is not whether there is a crisis but where: in the church or outside her or (shudder) both." I believe that there was a crisis in the world since the Fall; however, the crisis in the secular sphere has been aggravated as a permanent result of the Protestant Deformation. However, the crisis today is in both Church and the world.

I am of the conviction that the crises are actually one, and that they have their source in the Jewish conspiracy against Christianity and Christendom. The only true relationship between the Deicide Jews and Christians is that between Cain and Abel.

The Jews' seek to subvert and pervert Christians by the mechanism of Judaizerisation, or as they like to pretend, "Noachidism". Noahidism is the base of Freemasonry, and Freemasons are Judaizers and the agents and dupes of the Jews. The Jews and their agents the Freemasons have instigated the Prot Deformation, playing on the cupidity of evil and apostate Christians such as Luther, Calvin, etc. They conducted the French Revolution, the Spanish, Portuguese Revolutions. They are behind the polemics of "anti-colonialism", perverting people's loyalties to their lawful government - as part of their ancient program of 'Solve et Coagula.' Both Simon Bolivar and Jose San Martin were Freemasons. The "Hindu Resurgence" is also part of the same conspiracy, being instigated and cultivated by the Freemasons such as Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi, Nehru, etc.

The aim and objective of the Conspiracy is to subvert and divide and subjugate all of mankind (who their "scriptures" teach them to regard as being little other than animals) to the Jews, by dividing them among themselves, instigating them to fight among themselves, destroying their cultures and traditions, and by cultivating a cadre of "useful idiots" - the Noachides and Freemasons.

The Rape of Goa too was a Freemasonic conspiracy, part of the same conspiracy to break down and dissolve Catholic states, and to erect in their place Freemasonic super-states such as the Indian Union, the European Union, etc.

This "crisis" was given the form of Darwinism or Evolutionism, and of Materialism, Psuedo-Rationalism, Agnosticism, Anti-Clericalism, Secularism, "Free Thought", Libertinism or Psuedo-Liberalism, and finally, in a sum of all these evils, Modernism, as condemned by Pope St. Pius X.

This was inveigled into the Church by means of occult apostates, who seized the the outer appearances of the Church in October 1958, and who came out of the closet in the form of the Baal of Crassness - Roncalli and his Aggiornomento and "Vatican II".

The final aim is to prepare for the coming of the Anti-Messiah, or the "Moschiah" according to the worldly and carnal expectations of the Deicide Jews, who rejected and murdered the True Messiah and set themselves up, like Cain, against God and His Will.

The "Crisis" therefore, is not really a crisis, but a manufactured and carefully serviced construct.

I agree wholly with you that "true Catholicism (i.e. the church) cannot be thrown off course".

It is correct that the Church does not cease to exist in a Papal Interregnum. I believe that, since true jurisdiction is supplied only by the Pope, true unity is progressively impaired over time (but it is not possible that this impairment is permanent), when the Church is beset by a scandalous inability to agree on the next pope. This has happened several times in the past; on one occasion, the laity forced the Cardinals to elect the next pope by confining them and restricting their rations!

Mrs. Benns keeps forgetting that I have abandoned and shut down the "Unity Dialog Initiative" - if I remember correctly, it has been nearly two years ago. However, since I am no longer moderator, I cannot amend the list homepage to remove reference to the former UDI.

I agree that references to "Unity" is inappropriate given that factually, we do not share

the same faith; as you say, "evangelization" is more appropriate.

Regards,

Lucio

Mr Mascarenhas writes: "The Church has NOT gone wrong, and cannot, as a whole, that is, as Church, go wrong.

Mr Mascarenhas writes: "Let us leave off this foolish fairy tale about a double Montini and of a hidden Montini. Let us also leave off the further fairy tale of Pope Siri and of his mythical successor." OK, OK! I promise I shan't mention that stuff here again. I must say I find it all pretty far-fetched myself. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "... you are fully aware that we adhere to Pope Michael ...". I knew you did, sir, but I genuinely didn't know that Mrs Benns did. Sorry for any offence caused. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "... [Pope Michael] . whom you sedulously ignore, in a manner that is more insulting than of those who abuse him." Not quite the case, if I may say so. I have been in cordial correspondence with Mr Bawden on several occasions and for some time, and I have invited him to at least one online forum to put his case. When people on that (and perhaps another forum) have mocked and teased Mr Bawden, I have not joined in. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "That attitude of sedulously avoiding him, as if he were queer or something ...". My goodness me. God forbid that I should imply such a thing about anyone. If anything I have said or done has even suggested that, I dissociate myself from it entirely and apologise for any offence unwittingly caused. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "Why is it that you do not have the courage to be honest and straightforward?" I am a miserable sinner and fall far short of perfection. As I have written above, I have corresponded with Mr Bawden and he is good enough to keep me on his email list. There has never been a harsh word between us in any of our exchanges and I am hopeful that there never will be. If I have hurt him, I apologise. It was never my intention. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "If you believe that the Papal Claim of His Holiness Pope Michael I is wrong, false or defective in any manner, you have the obligation of proving it first. That obligation is the obligation that one souls (sic) owes to another; of a soul's duty to safeguard his neighbor's salvation." Phew. If I did believe Mr Bawden's claims, I would, of course, refer to him in the way you do, and I'd need to do a jolly sight more too (e.g. seek to meet him and do him due obedience and reverence as Christ's vicar). It would be inappropriate for me to go into detail here (not least because this thread is about the so-called crisis in the church), but I have made some enquiries via the website and by approach to Mr Bawden via email. I have to say that I cannot (yet?) see the validity of his claim. I have asked at least once whether a single webpage could be put up for simple folk like me. It would explain how the conclave was valid (ideally quoting teaching and canon law) and how it was conducted. There may now be just such a page and, if so, I would much appreciate the URL. My mind is by no means closed on this; as a Catholic I earnestly want a pope. Mr Mascarenhas writes: "Even if we grant the false allegations made by some, that the moderators of Christania are biased and prevent full and free espousals of alternative ideas, their proponents can easily go out and set up their own pages, under their own independent direction, where they can present their own viewpoints to the general public at large. Has anyone done that? No, there is nothing at all." Not sure I follow all of that, particularly as regards Christania (of which I am kind of country-member), but there are all sorts of groups on the web, some sedevacantist, though I'm not sure if that answers Mr Mascarenhas's point here. I just hope that, in my attempt to address these points, I haven't made matters worse!

O Conjuracao dos Pintos

2005-01-13T22:52:00.000+05:00

There was not multiple revolts that are called after the Pintos; there was just one - "O ConjuracaÃµ dos Pintos".

It is important to get the background of this event.

The world was in ferment, and Catholic states had, following the lead of Portugal, under the anti-Catholic Pombal, begin to compromise in the face of the ceaseless aggression of the Protestants, an aggression primarily targetting the Society of Jesus, which was the spearhead of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. The suppression of the Jesuits, first in Portugal, and then in the Bourbon Kingdoms (France, Spain, Naples, Parma, etc.) resulted in the triumph of Protestantism, anti-Clericalism and Freemasonry, all of which can be encapsulated as Satanism, and directly paved the way for the French Revolution - which was a movement to institutionalize Apostacy - the rejection of Christ Jesus and His teachings.

Many disaffected priests were part of this wave of apostacy, including the Abbe Faria, originally of Goa.

But to understand the Abbe Faria, one must look at how he was came to be. When the Portuguese liberated Goa, there was a strong fellow-feeling between Goans and Portugal, and this made Goa, especially its youth, amenable to the overtures of the missionaries who flooded Goa. As a result, the vast majority of Goans voluntarily converted to Christianity. Young children were in the forefront of the Christianization movement, and faithfully reported if their parents backslide into paganism.

However, within a short time, primarily due to the bad example of Portuguese soldiers and rulers, who even persecuted the missionaries, even persecuting and dishonoring even in death St. Francis Xavier, Goans as a whole began to grow lukewarm and to backslide into paganism. They remained Catholic in name, but secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, reverted to practising rites and forms of their ancestral paganism.

Converts from the Brahmin caste backslide into their ancestral mindset of social parasitism and sought to monopolize the Catholic priesthood and to exclude others from the priesthood, going so far as to mislead the the Pope and the Sacred Congregations.

This produced a reaction among the white Portuguese who began to distrust Goan priests by-and-large as insincere, and therefore, opportunities for promotion were denied to them. This in turn aggravated the dissatisfaction among these priests who went so far as to throw off the cloak of being Christian and began to cooperate and propagate paganism and pagan rites and forms. The Abbe Faria was part of this process, an apostate priest. The Abbe Faria not only fled from his diocesan jurisdiction, thus becoming an ecclesial vagrant, but he also threw in his lot with the Freemasons and other anti-Catholics who waged war upon the Church, becoming a "juring" or "Constitutional" priest in Revolutionary France.

This apostate priest joined the French anti-Catholic conspiracy to destroy the Church worldwide, not merely in France. A part of this conspiracy was the co-ordination with the Muslim fanatic Tipu Sultan, who perpetrated Genocide upon the Concannim Catholics of Mangalore.

Tipu Sultan formally claimed that his actions against the Catholic Mangaloreans, descendants of Goan immigrants into Tuluva, was revenge for the punishment inflicted by the Portuguese and Goans upon the Muslim invaders and oppressors of Goa in Novemeber 1510, when Muslim colonists in Goa were massacred and the others fled back into the Sultanate of Bijapur.

The anti-Catholic crimes of Tipu Sultan, the Osama bin Ladin of that age, was supported and facilated by the apostate and anti-Catholic French, including such French apostates as the Abbe Faria, and these apostates and Freemasons applauded this Genocide.

The Mangaloreans were seized and forcibly taken to Srirangapattinam, where they were forced to become Muslims, their womenfolk were taken away from them and married of to Tipu's thugs. According to the French Missionary Abbe Dupuis, out of nearly 1,20,000 Mangaloreans who were kidnapped and forcibly converted to the heresy of Muhammedanism, only about 25,000 returned after the ten years or more of the Reign of Terror under Tipu. Today, in Bombay, I know Muslims who are descended from those former Mangaloreans who remained Muhammedan, and newsreports tell of a neighborhood in Karachi populated by Muslims descended from these, who emigrated to Pakistan in 1947.... Even those who remained Catholic survived largely because they took shelter among the Hindus, and lived as their family members, which is why the Mangaloreans today, despite their Goan origins, are so different from the Goans, and are so paganised and so much more prone to compromise with paganism

Goa was integrated into Portugal by our ancestors from 1510 onwards, and it is always unlawful to sever one's loyalties from one's lawful government unless there was an urgent cause. There was no urgent cause to move Goans to secede from Portugal either at that time or even in 1950-1961, and the vast majority of Goans were at peace with Portugal. The rebels were a minority of malcontents.

But not only were they malcontents, they were also apostates and agents of a foreign and inimical power, apostate France, which was then at war with Catholicism, with the Pope, with Portugal. Moreover, it was a conspiracy that was coordinated with Tipu Sultan, who believed himself destined to avenge the Muslims of 1510, and therefore, one who logically sought to perpetrate the same crimes upon Goa as he did upon Mangalore!

The Pinto Conspiracy, a conspiracy of apostate Goan priests, was orchestrated by the Abbe Faria from and for France, as part of the program of the apostate usurpers to destroy Catholicism worldwide, and as part of their campaign against both the Pope (Pope Pius VI) and Portugal, whom they particularly hated.

From the Goan, Catholic and patriotic viewpoints, therefore, the failure of the Pinto Rebellion was providential, and if it had succeeded, Goa would have been exterminated, and our people despoiled, brutalized and enslaved, and our women violated, as was done to the Mangaloreans.

Goans must learn to recognize the false propaganda that they have been fed and which they have uncritically internalized, and learn to detoxify themselves of these social and intellectual poisons, which act to weaken them and destroy them.

We have been taught by traitors to adulate the Bishops Matheus de Castro and Tome de Castro who were proud, haughty, wilful and all-in-all, Machiavellian manipulators, for which they were rightly opposed by the Goan government as mischiefmakers. On the contrary, we have been taught to ignore or pass over in silence the Bishop Dom Custodio da Penha, also a Goan, who was a true Shepherd, which is why not only did the government of Goa have no problem with him, but both actively collaborated for the salvation of souls. It is good and honest men such as Custodio who are heroes, not malefactors such as the De Castros.

However, it is true that there is usually nothing "glamorous" about men such as Custodio da Penha, Jose Vaz, Agnelo de Sousa, but that men are usually more fascinated with such wreckers and destroyers as the De Castros, Abbe Faria, or Father Alvernas, who rebelled for purely opportunistic reasons and defected to the abominable heresy of the Jacobites!

Just as traitors adulate Matheus de Castro and Tome de Castro and the Abbe Faria, they also adulate Alvernas as a prototype "freedom-fighter"!

"Goa Freedom Struggle" VCD

2005-01-13T12:46:00.000+05:00

Note by Lucio: According to Sandesh Prabhudesai of Goanews.com (http://www.goanews.com/7jan05.htm

"Controversial VCD Withdrawn") the film is produced and directed by Ramesh and Ajinkya Dev -

Maharashtrian film personalities - at a cost of around Rs 40 lakh.

Note by JM: In forwarding the article which had appeared in The Hindu I have to

state that I had travelled to Goa five times during the Indian blockade of Goa when there was

only one land route open via Majali and Polem at the extreme south. From 1 September 1955 till 3 April 1958 a special permit from the Maharashtra Mantralaya, given with the approval of the

Ministry of External Affairs Goa Affairs Office located there, was imperative.

From 3 April 1958 the permit was done away with but identification documents had still to be

presented: an informal certificate of identity, the printed format of which was given at the

Mantralaya, countersigned by a Justice of Peace for Indian citizens (plus a Portuguese visa from

the Brazilian Embassy in Delhi) or a Documento para Viagem for Portuguese citizens.

The control was transferred from the Bombay Mantralaya to the Indian checkpost at Majali where

both Indian and Portuguese documents were checked with a Black List - a thick book with the names of Goans marked in India.

On one occasion I stood deliberately behind the Indian immigration officer as he checked my

document with the black list and I discovered that the Hindu and Catholic Goans on the black list

were in equal numbers,i.e., the Catholics did not exceed Hindus on that list.

Incidentally several Goans who had travelled as Indian citizens were debarred re-entry into the

Indian Union at Majali, one famous case being that of Mr. Sousa Ferrao and his group of Goan

actors based in Bombay who were kept back for one full month till political intervention in their

favour prevailed.

Within Goa territory there was no indication whatsoever of disaffection with the government in

power there; only at times there were some terrorist outrages near the border but they were few

and far between. General Vassalo e Silva had captivated the hearts of the entire population of

Goa.

Opinion - Leader Page Articles Dangerous currents

By Maria Aurora Couto

History and memory need to be recovered by both the Hindu and Catholic communities of Goa but not with crude productions that distort and telescope unrelated events to create divisive hatreds. THE YEAR ended in Goa with a testament of faith by 2.2 million pilgrims during six weeks of the Exposition of St. Francis Xavier. This was preceded by the International Film Festival, which brought unprecedented national and international attention as also excitement and controversy within the State. Visitors were struck by the peace and harmony, the ready smile, the helpful hand, and an innate courtesy. A few paused to reflect on these qualities. Could it be the beauty of its environment or the centuries-old exposure to the major religions of the world that has cemented the unique humanism of this society?

Yet all is not as well as it appears to be, and Goans are well aware of the dangerous

undercurrents that have begun to flow beneath this calm surface. A VCD, "Goa Freedom Struggle," produced by the Directorate of Education of the Government of Goa, is the most recent manifestation of the not-so-subtle attempt to disturb and distort the Goans' perception of self and society. Four decades after its liberation from Portuguese rule, there has been no proper

study published on the freedom struggle. Very few young Goans are aware of this period or indeed of the complex past of the land they love so deeply, a history they need to understand if harmony is to prevail.

The theme of the documentary should have been welcome but its malicious perspective, which twists and distorts history to create communal hatred, has led to a condemnation of the VCD by Church authorities, by the Congress party, and by freedom fighters, activists, and writers including the poet, Manohar Rai Sardessai, and the writer, Uday Bhembre. There would have been a wider public expression of anger had the VCD been viewed widely.

The coarse bigotry of its perspective, which demonises Christianity, seeks to establish a link

between the excesses of the early period of Portuguese rule in the 16th and 17th centuries and

the freedom struggle of the modern period, and its lopsided account of the latter to invent a
heroic role for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh which everyone knows had very little to do with the liberation of Goa or indeed with the Indian national movement, is truly an arrogant misuse of power to disseminate misinformation to young minds. The documentary was produced two years ago, and screened on the national channel of Doordarshan. No one seems to have paid much attention to it then. What has incensed most Goans is the fact that the VCD was sent to more than 400 schools with a directive that it be screened on December 19, Liberation Day, and that a report confirming screening be sent to the Directorate.

Goans are unwilling to face the troubled past Â it is indeed another country where dreadful

things happened that seared the psyche. Perhaps it is the institution of the ganvkari,

communidade Â the commune system of which the historian, Damodar Kosambi, has written so

evocatively Â that healed and restored cohesiveness, aided by the Christian spirit of many
missionaries, including the much maligned Francis Xavier. Yet the Catholics of Goa need to

understand that troubled country of the past, when atrocities were committed in the name of

Christianity in a ruthless quest for power and souls, and not pretend it did not happen. It is

only then that the reaching out to each other of their ancestors Â which is the basis of the

goodwill that prevails Â will not get ruptured by recent attempts to indoctrinate young Hindu

minds.

While it is true that knowledge of history has strengthened rather than undermined faith, there

are voices that discourage the digging up of a violent past. Ignorance may be bliss, but it

renders the faithful defenceless against the antagonisms that debase their religion. Although the
faith of the Goan is a fact of identity and the rock of his life, questions about the past need

to be asked so that we understand the past and live creatively in the present particularly at a

time when religion is used to subvert political life in a ruthless quest for power. History and

memory need to be recovered by both the Hindu and Catholic communities of Goa but not with crude productions such as the VCD that distort and telescope unrelated events to create divisive

hatreds.

The script, which is in Hindi, elides recklessly in its account of Goan history, with a

presumption that is breathtaking. It begins with a dream sequence of a rape scene and then a

narrative that describes Goa as a holy place with "the innocence of a child" vandalised by the
Portuguese. Recorded facts that prove the collaboration of local leaders, who in fact sought the

help of Afonso de Albuquerque to end the rule of Yusuf Adil Shah, are left out. Instead there is

a succession of exaggerated scenes of violence, destruction of temples, and a cross lurking in

the background or dangling threateningly above hapless victims. Christianity, both in human and

symbolic form, is portrayed to evoke fear and revulsion.

The fact that the first violence was against the Muslim population, that the women raped or

converted were Muslim women, that there was an initial pact between the Hindu collaborators and the Portuguese that safeguarded the majority Hindu population Â all these are carefully deleted, as is the fact that the drive for conversion began not on arrival of the Portuguese in 1510 as depicted but in 1540, that the Inquisition was established in 1560, and more seriously, that the main victims of the Inquisition were the early converts to Christianity who refused to give
up their traditional customs and rituals.

The Maratha rulers, Shivaji and Sambhaji, are given a heroic role within Goan history. Yet

historian P.S. Pissurlencar's Portuguese-Mahratta Relations (translated by T.V. Parvate, 1983)

details their battles with the Portuguese and proves that they attacked Goa for their own ends

and not to save the local population, that Shivaji distrusted the Portuguese but sought their

help against the Moghuls. The theme of the freedom struggle is not revealed in all its

complexity. If the intention was to encapsulate the centuries between 1510 and 1946 when Ram

Manohar Lohia demanded civil rights for Goa trapped in Salazar's firm grasp, then the
omissions are brazen. To bring in the Marathas and diminish or erase the long years of quiet or

bloody battles fought by the Goan clergy against racist policies, the later polemics of an

emerging elite, is political manipulation at its worst. Besides, freedom fighters have pointed
out major errors in presenting the last phase of the struggle.

The Government will not be able to force the issue given the agitation from all quarters. The

point is not that it may find itself compelled to withdraw but that it had the temerity to fund

this shoddy piece of work (Rs. 40 lakh), produced by Ramesh Deo, a film actor from the Marathi
film industry with no experience of direction.

I recall that when Atal Bihari Vajpayee made his astonishing endorsement of Narendra Modi in a

speech in Goa before the 2002 Assembly election, absolving him of his complicity in the Gujarat

massacre, it was widely felt that Goa was a test case to see how far the Sangh Parivar could go

to force its agenda. These inroads in Goa continue to be made Â with a young, intelligent, and

energetic Chief Minister, skilfully manipulating his popularity with sops, improvements, and an

active personal presence that is being severely tried with this last outrageous assault on
the dignity of Goa.

Great Sumatran Tsunami

2005-01-12T13:09:00.000+05:00

Preventive Measures

From what I have learnt from reading Japanese accounts of tsunamis, before one hits, the waters recede to a great extent, and rapidly. That is a sure sign of an approaching tsunami.

Secondly, ships and boats out in open seas, far away from shallow waters and the shore, are not affected. Therefore, it would make sense that, if there is sufficient advance warning of an approaching tsunami (one hour at least), people should be evacuated into the open seas....

Most Foolish Idea Ever?

According to the Times of India, Bombay, Saturday, Jan 8, 2005, Jayalalithaa, Chief Minister of Tamilnadu province proposes to build a Great Wall along the shoreline to prevent damages and deaths by any future tsunami.

"Jaya Plans Great Wall of Tamilnadu"

By Swati Das for TNN, Chennai: The Tamilnadu government is contemplating building a wall all along the 1,000 km coast to protect it from future havoc, Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa announced at an all-party meeting on Friday.

Some More Commie Slanders....

[Times of India, Bby., Tuesday, Jan., 4, 05; EditPage, Conversations with Readers: "Meagre Aid"]

Before UN Criticism stung the George Bush administration into increasing its aid to tsunami victims, the US government relief effort could have been measured by another yardstick - its response to the hurricanes that hit Florida last year. The Federal Emergency Management Agency alone pumped $3.17 billion into the state, nearly 100 times more than the initially proposed US contribution to the South Asian tsunami victims. The four Florida hurricanes combined killed 116 people, compared to more than 100,000 dead in the South Asian disaster. According to the brutal calculus of American imperialism, a human life in the United States - especially in a battleground state in the months before a presidential election - is worth infinitely more than a human life in Sri Lanka or Indonesia.

- Patrick Martin, via e-mail

Are we confusing justice and charity?

Justice is what one state owes its own citizens; charity is what it owes foreigners. The US, despite the fond dreams - or malicious lies of Communists and their puppets - does not have an infinite and irresponsible source of wealth, and its budget is already badly strained. It has no obligations in justice to the victims of the Sumatran tsunami - only an obligation in charity and one that binds all mankind. Also, the UN criticism was malicious since it misrepresented what was publicly stated as an initial contribution as being a total and final contribution - and should also be taken in perspective with the fact that early estimates of the lives lost were far lower than the pesent ones. The term we are looking for is "malicious slander".

"The Whole Truth" - A Hindu's response to Goan Christians

2005-01-12T10:15:00.000+05:00

http://www.navhindtimes.com/stories.php?part=news&Story_ID=04102

THE educational CD published by the Government of Goa on GoaÂs freedom struggle has stirred a controversy about the role played by the Catholic community and the Roman Catholic Church in the struggle. The secularists, as usual, are trying to rewrite history. But the facts are very clear. Following two incidents, which are well-documented, will prove the case. The first incident occurred in 1954, when Nehru was preparing to liberate Goa by force. At the time, there was a mass vigil held by the Roman Catholic Church at Old Goa in support of the Portuguese rule. Nehru chickened out under pressure from the US and the UK and did not send troops to Goa. The next incident occurred in 1962, soon after GoaÂs liberation. Once again a candlelight vigil was held at Old Goa asking the Âall-powerfulÂ saint to ensure the return of Dr Salazar, the then dictator of Portugal. There may have been Catholic freedom fighters in Goan history. But a number of them and the clerics were solidly pro-Portuguese.

Fight Eco-Terrorism: Eat Meat, Wear Fur

"Veggie Viewpoint"

I flipped through the TOI of Dec 31 to find this disturbing quarter-page advertisement (disturbing to me, first as an animal lover and also as an advocate of vegetarianism) titled 'The Big Chicken' that appeared on the last page. Let me put accross a thought that immediately ran through my mind upon reading the copy. It contained lines like 'any chicken older than six weeks can turn your dream dish into chewy, tasteless fare' and 'they are easy to cook as the bird is younger.' Imagine if we who claim to be human were fit for consumption by some other species and they released an ad like this, or if we turned into cannibals and just replaced 'chicken' with 'baby'. One shudders at the thought. Such copy is not expected from a reputed ad agency. I'm sure they could have worded it differently to sound less offensive. Also, such ads undo all efforts to promote vegetarianism. Aren't PETA and others watching?

- Nupura Sapre, Bombay.

Enough of this nonsense from the Veggie-Nazis. Enough of PETA & Greenpeace's terrorism. I believe that we must put these terrorists in their place before they take over our lives completely and tell us how we must live - according to their false, heretical ideas.

It is interesting that the very same people who advocate abortion and contraception are against eating meat, and who also are the advocates of immodesty and homosexuality.

We who are Christians must retailiate against these terrorists by wearing leather and fur and publicly eating meat.

Slum Demolitions in Bombay

2005-01-11T19:35:00.000+05:00

[View latest news on Bombay Slum Demolitions]

I am not a person who likes squatter-slums, or wishes to connive at them for any reason. And, when governments reward squatters by providing them free housing in exchange for their slums, it rewards evil and punishes those who abide by the laws and who do not display contempt for the integrity of the social fabric.

Yet, it is also the duty of Society and State to be integral, to provide for all members of Society, including the basic necessities of means of livelihood and shelter. Given that both are impossible to attain, or can be attained to only in subhuman conditions, the primary fault for the proliferation of slums lies with Society and State.

I am all for a tough policy against squatters and encroachers. But the recent drive by the government of the Maharashtra Province to destroy slums, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless - deprived even of that most unhygenic and unsocial housing that they had provided themselves - is a crime against humanity and acts of pure misanthropy.

Already, many children, exposed to the winter cold, and whose hopes of attaining to full humanity have been brutally crushed by bulldozers, have died, and more will die.

Society and the press focuses on the tragedy of the victims of the Sumatran tsunami. That is not home. There are enough people in the world with the wealth and the time to relieve those victims. Yet it is hypocrisy to pretend to grieve for the poor hit by the tsunami on the Coromandel Coast even while the government rubbishes the humanity of urban poor in Bombay.

The state has no obligations towards either Capitalism or Socialism. It has an obligation to humanity. Therefore, it must adopt for the time that policy that meets the needs of the time. It is time for the government to meet the housing crisis on a war footing, and if it becomes necessary, governments must even nationalise land and the construction industry, even if temporarily, besides cement and other ancillary industries, and also bring the "Employment Guarantee Scheme" to the cities, or otherwise levy labor from citizens to meet the urgency.

It is only when the State has provided more than adequate housing both for homes and industry, that it can reproach those who squat or hawk on streets, government land or private land.

"Value Slum Dwellers"

The last sentence of C.K. Prahlad's amazing interview ('Poverty & Profit', Dec 27) says, "Somebody has to clean your clothes, cook food, and take care of your motorcycle or car." Prahlad refers to the new jobs created for every high profile job.

The problem is that those who do these tasks are being sent packing out of Bombay. The lakhs of slum-dwellers whose houses have been razed to "clean up" Bombay were doing precisely that. Without them, the comfortable lives many of us "citizens" lead would become distinctly uncomfortable. We need their services, but we don't want to see them ruining our soon-to-be Shanghai city. Any solutions to that dilemma from our 'management guru'?

"Pulling Down Homes"

Call them by any name, Jhopadpattis, shanties, hutments, jhuggis. What we are tearing down in thousands are the homes of so many humans. Their right to stand where they are has nothing to do with when their homes were erected. If they were put up yesterday, it is proof of either the connivance of the administration or of the dereliction of its duty - it's the scandalous failure of successive governments of Maharashtra and the Bombay Municipality to forestall the encroachment of public places.

Was it not the obligation of the administration to freeze the number of existing hutments at some point of time? Shouldn't they have made determined efforts to prevent the new ones from springing up again before going about rehabilitating the existing ones? It is a sad fact that after half a century of nation-building, rural India has no means of livelihood to offer the villager. He sells his valuables or borrows money to walk into the filth of a city's slums. On his way to this El Dorado he is exploited by so many government, quasi-government and non government 'agencies'. The powers that be have been getting away with murder. The poor villager is paying for their sins.

A Traitor Makes A Fool Of Himself

2005-01-09T15:57:00.000+05:00

Friends,

I place before you a recent bit of correspondence (see below) with an outstanding traitor, Dr. Jose Colaço of the Bahamas.

A few days back, Colaço sought entrance into the GoanCenter forum, whose home page clearly says that it exists exclusively for patriots and those Goans interested in learning their history, both of which categories exclude public traitors.

When I rejected and rebuffed Colaço, he broke out in a hysteric rant:

OOPS!

Dear Mr. Mascara-in-Anus

Apologies for that request. It must be my error

You are that same Prakash nut who signs as Lucio (Why are you hiding your Indian name?)

You have a slightly smarter brother on the West Coast of the US (When you were born, the nurses forgot to apply for good sense...poor you)

You, on the other hand... are the guy who tried to get a Portuguese passport... and was denied

Am I correct?

Good decision I must say. Don't want any NUTS among us

BTW: why do you live in Shiv Sena territory? you nitwit

tuduloo

and yes..... Good luck on your EIP project

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

jc

ps: Don't forget to abuse me. Most nuts do that

I thank Jose Colaço for his insulting mail full of hatemongering. I am genuinely grateful — because my enemy — this proud and triumphant traitor — has made a fool of himself.

And no, despite his rather fervent appeal, I will not stoop to his level, of playing the gross Chimpanzee!

The best gift that a miscreant can give his intended victim is to score a self-goal!

If from his letter, the reader will think Colaço infantile, it is because he is. But more than infantility, the poor chap demonstrates clear signs of a mental breakdown.

The stress of dissembling, of being a hypocrite, a traitor and a coward, and of working overtime to seduce other Goans to the Gospel of Cowardice, has evidently begun to take its toll!

This is either a man whose brains has broken the dams of reason and is descending thunderously down the rapids of insanity, or of a man teetering on the verge of insanity!

Woe is me! Shame & Scandal in the family!

There is always some one who is the black sheep of the family. My message to Goans in whose family there is a traitor, is that you should not allow this fact to divert you or hold you back from your moral responsibilities, of being a patriot.

Two of my relatives are traitors. Of course, two is two too many. But none of them are so outstanding traitors as
Colaço. That is a great relief.

Unlike Colaço, my brother's treason is unthinking and absorbed without use of the critical facilities, and he shows signs of becoming a patriot: My brother will either become a true patriot or become, like
Colaço, a public exhibitionist of treason and unmitigated foolishness. Only God knows which, but I pray for the former option.

"I Aim To Please!"

Colaço's owners, his Indian masters, will never be disappointed in him, or have cause for complaint. Told to bend, he crawls. This is a man who is a Masochist, who proclaims incessantly, in "season" and out of season, his "Gospel" of Chicken Little. He makes himself the Patron Demiurge of Cowardice.

Think how foolish is his public position: If we Goans fight for our rights, by waging war to force the evacuation of Goa by the Indians, and to secure justice, reparations and restitutions, we run the danger of being subjected to a Genocide similar to that to which the Timorese were subjected to by the Indonesians.

But Timor was an exception. Timor was not about a foreign invasion, it was a civil war, in which one party, the patriots, abandoned by the treason and sedition of the "Carnation Revolution" to the tender mercies of the Communists, foolishly lost hope in themselves and turned to Indonesia for aid and assistance — a very grave error.

Indonesia's invasion and occupation came at their urgent request, and Indonesia ruled with their staunch support.

Till the very end, these former patriots fought, fighting on the side of Indonesia against the Communists masquerading as nationalists, and when all else failed, and a UN protectorate was forced upon Timor, these former patriots adopted a scorched earth policy, killing as many of their enemies, and destroying as much of the infrastructure before withdrawing into Indonesian West Timor.

In withdrawing, they also forcibly picked up entire communities of former patriots, refusing to allow them to conciliate with the enemy, and relocated them to West Timor.

I can sympathetize with them, although I disagree strongly with their recourse to Indonesia.

Of Nutcases and of Nutcases

Colaço says that I am a "nutcase". Perhaps, he is right. From his perspective, I am a nutcase because I refuse to accept the morality of the Rape of Goa, or to acquiesce, connive or collaborate with it. I am a nutcase, according to his "lights", because I am a patriot!

Colaço himself contrasts to my foolishness his wisdom — which is a "wise" treason
and a "wise" cowardice.

He tells us that we must be cowards and submit, and not fight. He advises collaboration
with the Occupation, with the Rape of our Mother Goa begun in 1954 and still ongoing.

The Virtues of Cowardice

Imagine a world which adopts, and which has consistently followed the Colaço's Gospel of
Cowardice.

The Greeks, whom the Persians sought to conquer for nearly five hundred years, would not have resisted the superior forces of Persia. There would have been no Thermopylae and no Marathon. More than that, there would have been no Alexander the Great, the man who changed history by bolding seeking to reverse the centuries long play by the Persians to add Greece and his native Macedonia to their enormous empire, by bolding counter-invading with a small outnumbered army and overthrowing successfully the Persian Empire!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, there would have been no St. Joan of Arc. Instead the French would have been cowering before the Anglo-Normans, and indeed would not have prevented the Anglo-Normans from marching on Rheims and crowning their king as the King of France!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, the Christians of Europe would not have attempted resistance at Toulouse against the invading hordes of Muslim barbarians; or the Crusades to drive these barbarians back and to recover and reclaim Christian Iberia, North Africa and West Asia that these barbarians encroached upon! History would have been different! There would have been no Portugal or Spain, and history would have been very different!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, John Sobieski, King of Poland would not have come to the relief of Vienna, to drive away Suleiman the Turk from his program of conquering Austria! History would have been different!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, Pope St. Pius V and the Venetians,
Genoese, Spaniards, Austrians, etc., would not have combined to avenge the conquest of Christian Cyprus by the Turks, and the unspeakable barbarities perpetrated there on its defenders, by defeating the far stronger Turkish navy at the Battle of Lepanto! History would have been different!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, Spain and Portugal and Italy and Germany and the Dutch and Belgians and Poles and Russians and Swedes and Danes would not have been resisting Napoleon Bonaparte's French Empire! History would have been different!

If men had been following Colaço's extraordinary Gospel of Cowardice, the French and Belgians and Dutch and Danes and Norwegians and Poles and Czechs and Serbs and Austrians would not have been resisting Hitler's Nazi hordes! History would have been different!

But we need not go so far for our analogies. Our own ancestors did not heed the Colaço
Gospel of Cowardice, resisting again and again against the intrusions of the Muslims, by seeking first the assistance of the Vijayanagar Empire and then of Portugal. This is how our Goa, the Rome of the East, came to be. If our ancestors had been cowards, in following
Colaço, we would have either been pagans today, or what is worse, Muslims!

I fervently thank God that our ancestors fought and did not submit, as Colaço teaches us to do today!

Desperately Seeking Susan?

I had long suspected Gaspar Almeida, Colaço's ancient accomplice, for being, like
Colaço, a traitor, although I had no concrete proof — the man was as slippery as an eel, refused to be pinned down, and indulged in ambiguation. He had once before joined the GoanCenter, and had withdrawn of himself when things got sticky... Then, recently, about a month or so back, he applied for membership in GoanCenter. I always wondered why... There was never any logical explanation for his desperate urge to get in, into a forum that explicitly positioned itself as exclusively for Goan patriots.

I have consistently categorized Jose Colaço as a peculiar specimen. Unlike other traitors and collaborators, he himself strongly focuses on and chronicles the Rape of Goa. Yet he advocates collaboration and surrender on the pretended ground that, like in Timor, we too could be subjected to a Genocide by the Indians — the Gospel of Chicken Little, with the twist that our protagonist is so terrified of his own shadow (or simulates it?) that he believes that merely moving a limb in the cause of righteousness will bring the sky falling down on him (and us)!

Yet, from the beginning, there is a curious collaboration between Colaço and Gaspar Almeida. This is demonstrated by the Colaços having made Almeida a co-moderator of their fora (TGF and Goa-Goans); it is further proven by their acting as seconds for each other.

This is despite Almeida not being formally known to propagate Colaço's Gospel of Chicken Little.

It is interesting that Colaço came forward for membership in GoanCenter when I took his accomplice and collaborator, Gaspar Almeida, to task for heresy. Colaço obviously sought to come to Almeida's succor. But through Almeida, his very close collaborator, Colaço knew who I am, so that his pretense at being astonished at my change of name does not wash.

Moreover, I wonder why Colaço was so desperate to come in, for he certainly remembers well our previous battles — he must have been desperate enough to get into GoanCenter to think that he stood a chance to get in under my nose!

This raises the interesting question: What is the urgent need for first Gaspar Almeida and then a substitute, Colaço, seeking to get into the GoanCenter list? Are they more than merely
legitimizing the Occupation, by going so far as to actively collaborate by spying for the Occupation?

It would be interesting to follow the developments — and the denouement!

Argument about name

It is interesting that Colaço rakes up the issue of my name.

Once before I had an argument with Colaço about my name. I was baptized "Prakash" — the main culprit being my mamti, who was then a Jesuit who had been caught up in the mania of Indianism and of Modernism. In April 2004, after trying every other means, I had my name changed in the Maharashtra State Gazette.

Evidently, the decision to give me an "Indian" name was one in which I had no choice or role to play. Yet Colaço castigates me for it.

By contrast, a relative of his, a Fr. Armando, went and lived as a Hindu among Hindus in Karnataka, and took the name "Swami Animananda" by free choice, which
Colaço applauds.

I import here the exact page and text from Colaço's own site, on "Swami Animananda":

The Catholic Church in a lurch: Breaking the Silence!

by josé colaço & ema souza-colaço© 2002; April 13, 2002

We both come from families whose many sons and daughters consciously chose to serve as Roman Catholic nuns & priests. We both have first hand knowledge of the many sacrifices of these family members of ours. While each and every one of these relatives of ours is special, we'd like to dedicate this script to Fr. Armando Alvares SJ aka Swami Animananda SJ aka "Swami" or Tio (Uncle) Armando to us. Swami gave up a life of infinite comfort in the Aldona homestead to live the life of a Jesuit hermit missionary in Deshnoor district, Belgaum, South India - the heartland of the Lingayat Hindu Brahmins. Swami converted himself to asceticism and became a total vegetarian while preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He advocated simplicity to us, and lived it himself. A testament of how much our Tio Armando was loved by the people of Deshnoor was the number of people who attended his funeral.

I cite this merely as evidence of his hypocrisy and inconsistency.

Allegation about Portuguese Passport

It is not true that I have ever applied for a Portuguese passport. Colaço has consistently twisted my account of what had happened, right from the beginning.

What I had stated is that I had thought of applying for the passport, and even went so far as to visit the offices of Portugal in Panaji. But when they told me that I must get my documents attested by the Indian Occupation, I refused and did not move forward.

I had never lodged a formal application for a Portuguese passport, and there is therefore no question of any such application being approved or not.

I believe that I am a Portuguese citizen by right and by descent, and precisely and automatically because I am Goan. I have my parents' and grandparents' Portuguese (E.I.P. / Estado da India Portuguesa) papers to prove my Portuguese citizenship, and I do not need certification by the Occupation, nor will I cooperate with it in any manner and thereby give it color of legitimacy.

Colaço is not only a hypocrite, but also a shameless liar. But hypocrisy and lying are not his greatest "virtues": his greatest "virtue" is his cowardice, which he makes into a cloak of righteousness, pretending that the reason he advocates collaboration with the Occupation is because of the potential for India to inflict genocide upon us Goans!

Bombay: Shiv Sena Territory?

Another issue Colaço raises once again is the allegation that I dwell in foreign territory. Is Bombay foreign? Certainly, it is, for now, legally a part of the Indian Union. But it is just as certainly a part of the Concan ethnic homeland.

This is a no-brainer: Who belongs in the Concan? To whom does the Concan belong by right? Is it the Concannim, from whichever part of the Concan, or is it the Marathi and the Gujarati and others who have come in and colonized and who seek to absorb the Concan into their own lands?

Now, as a Goan, and therefore a non-Indian, I would not normally have any rights in Bombay. However, India and Nehru not only invaded Goa, but they also enacted a "law" that (pretendedly) stripped us of our Portuguese citizenship and imposed Indian citizenship upon us without out consent and automatically.

As a result, I gained rights over India. And since India's acts were criminal and illegal, I never came under the complementary obligations of Indian citizenship.

Therefore, I am fully entitled to demand and obtain my rights as a Concannim in Bombay, which is very much a part of the Concan.

Mr. Colaco,

Maybe this group is interesting, and maybe not. But as I have said already once before, I have no desire to either communicate or patronize a traitor and one who makes it his vocation to seduce others into treason and collaboration. This list is not big enough to entertain even one known traitor as a member. And the most gentle rejection I can throw your way is: Vhoshimar!

"Followers Riot After Hindu Ascetic Fails To Die"

2005-01-07T19:19:00.000+05:00

Mid-Day, Bombay, November 29, 2004

Bhubaneshwar, Orissa: Followers of a sadhu in Orissa rioted after he failed to die at the appointed time.

More than 15,000 people turned up at the SriGuru Ashram at Kharagaon in Orissa to see the ascetic 'ascend to heaven' between 6 a.m. and noon.

The ascetic had delcared a few days ago that he would attain "ichha mrityu" or death by his own free will.

The ascetic is said to have performed religious rituals at break of dawn before sitting down to meditate. But when the scheduled time had passed and the guru was discovered still alive, the onlookers began to hurl abuse at him and later turned violent.

Police officers had to resort to a baton charge to disperse the angry followers. The ascetic told local reporters: "Perhaps the will of God was somewhat different. I am very shocked to have given you so much pain."

Are You Goan? Do You Love Goa?

2005-01-05T20:54:00.000+05:00

http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/goansgoa.html

INTRODUCTION
In my campaign, largely centered on the Internet, to activize Goans on the Goan Question, and to kickstart the Goan Liberation Movement, moribund since 1974, I have encountered several who claim to be Goans, who claim to love Goa and Goans, and who work for Goa and Goans, and who have done things Â something or the other Â to benefit Goa and Goans. This statement is an investigation Â and a challenge! It is time to take stock; to seperate the truth from falsehood.

It needs to be noted that when I say "Goan", I adhere to the definition adopted by the Goan Freedom Movement (1691-1974) which defined a Goan as any citizen of Portuguese India, including those from Dio, Damao, Dadra, Nagar-Aveli, the Island of Anjediva and Goa proper (both Velhas Conquistas & Novas Conquistas). That is, "Goan" is a colloquial form for "Portuguese Indian".

Fourty-three years ago, on December 18 & 19, thousands of Indian troops poured into Goa in an invasion without a formal Declaration of War, without provocation by Goans, and outnumbering Goa's troops by more than 1:10 (4,500 Goan troops against more than 50,000 Indian troops). In the days that followed, India formally enacted two pieces of legislation: The 12^th Constitutional Amendment, which pretended to annexe and incorporate Goa into the Indian Union, and an Ordinance that pretended to take away Portuguese nationality and citizenship from Goans and imposed Indian nationality and citizenship instead.

At no time was there even a pretence of a Plebiscite or Referendum to legitimise these naked acts of robbery and of impositions Â to sever Goa from being an integral and inseperable part of Greater Portugal, to being a colony and conquest of Indian imperialism.

Goa is a neighbour of the Indian Union, the largest segment of the former British India. As a neighbour, Goa had no obligations to the Indian Union other than that of a Good Neighbour, which she fulfilled to perfection. But, on the contrary, the Indian Union forwarded pretensions after pretensions against Goa, demanding that Portugal should cede Goa to the Indian Union, with or without the consent of Goans, and that Goa belongs by some pretended "natural right" to the Indian Union, which natural right was frustrated by Portugal continuing to hold on to Goa and not surrender it to the Indians. Finally, the Indian Union invaded Goa in two installments: In July-August 1954, it invaded the enclaves of Dadra and of Nagar-Aveli and occupied them, annexing them in July 1961; in December 1961, after months of mobilizations and military provocations failed to provoke the Goans to attack the superior forces of India, it invaded and has occupied Goa since then.

All these acts constituted Bad Neighbourliness, acts that militate against Neighbourliness. Despite all its pretensions, the Indian Union had and has no basis for a pretension over Goa Â moral, legal or of any other kind. The Indian Union had no more a right over Goa than Pakistan, Mongolia or Bhutan have a right over Goa!

Since this Rape and Occupation of Goa, then, Goans have been told, by the Indians, and by Goan traitors, that Goa is an integral part of India, and that Goans are "free citizens of a free India." But, logically, if Goa has legitimately become a part of India, as a result of its unjustified acts of aggression, because of its occupation of Goa, then Goa does not become an "integral part of India" but becomes merely a conquest Â war-booty. And Goans, therefore, do not thereby become "equal citizens of a free India", but become thereby, by implications of law, the property, chattels and slaves of India.

[In law, when one "purchases" Â or "acquires" by main force, such as by kidnapping or otherwise howeverso seizing, a human being, one has not "liberated" him or her:Â one has enslaved him or her. Therefore, if India legitimately "acquired" Goa as a result of its criminal actions, then Goans become legally nothing more than India's slaves or chattels Â a legal status that militates against any pretensions of having become "equal citizens".]

Now, logically, no self-respecting people would countenance peacefully to be dragooned and bludgeoned into having their homeland incorporated by an unjustified aggressor as part of its territories, and with a claim over their allegiances. Such a concept is foreign to humanity Â anywhere in the world. And so, therefore, Goans too are obliged to react to the acts of the Indian Union by militating against this attack upon our dignity as human beings and fighting by all means to vacate this aggression and to restore the lawful Status Quo Ante and to secure comprehensive and proportionate Justice, Peace, Restitution and Reparations from all the wrongdoers.

And therefore, since these events, until the restoration of Goa's liberties, snuffed out by the Indians, the one true and only really legitimate Cause that can animate Goans is this Affront to our dignity as human beings, to our liberties and the liberty of our homeland. Reason demands that this Cause must have priority over all other questions, whether domestic or foreign, and must direct every other question. Therefore, a true and loyal Goan is demonstrated by, and proven by his unequivocal advocacy of Goa and her rights, of Goa's liberation from the Indian Occupation.

A true Goan, a faithful, patriotic Goan, therefore, is one whose heart bleeds for Goa, who recognizes that Goa is enslaved and degraded and who militates for her liberation.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land! Â Walter Scott.

Therefore, it is that only he who recognizes that Goa has been raped by India, a situation that continues until it is reversed, and that Goans have been imposed upon, degraded, humiliated and dishonored, and whose heart bleeds for every moment that this wrong is not undone, who is a true Goan.

Certainly, no moral man will sit at home, and tell others: "Hey, man, chill! Let's have a glass of beer!" while thugs drag out his mother into the marketplace and dishonor her.

And yet this is exactly what is happening to Mother Goa, and this is exactly what certain "illustrious" "sons of Goa" do and tell us to do! Such Eminences gris as Frederico Noronha, who is arguably the "Mahatma Ghandi of Goan Quislings", his accomplices Bosco, Viviana, Marlon, etc., besides others such as Gaspar Almeida, Dr. Jose Colaco, Floriano Lobo, Rene Barretto (who makes it his vocation to organize "Celebrate India's Rape of Goa Day" every year), etc.

Dr. Colaco occupies a peculiar place among traitors: Alone among them he recognizes publicly the Rape of Goa and that India has perpetrated a crime. Nevertheless, he incessantly advocates surrender and collaboration and seeks to instill a psychological terror of fighting for our liberation on the grounds that we may suffer the same fate as Timor.

"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety." Â Benjamin Franklin

It matters little what beverage these quislings and seducers unto treason are peddling, whether it be beer or caju feni or coconut feni or whiskey or rum or tea or coffee; their message is the same: "Abandon morality and human dignity, ye that enter here, and celebrate the rape of your mother Goa!"

By this their action, these traitors and collaborators prove themselves to be NOT the sons of Mother Goa, but India's bastards infilterated into Goa to seduce us from the path of right and into wrongdoing, into selling our birthright and our honor for a pot of mess, as did Esau.

There are others who terrorize themselves over the "urgency" of "social improvement", yet others by the "urgency" of improving infrastructure Â the building of schools and bridges and so on. Now, social improvement is necessary, but one must keep one's priority correct. Our first priority is to reddem our honor, to avenge ourselves, to secure Peace and Justice and the punishment of wrongdoers. Everything else Â Social improvement, improvement of infrastructures, are secondary, and must come only in relation with, and subordinate to, the program of redeeming our dignity as a people, our human rights.

We do not need more or better schools and more or better bridges. We need guns and bombs and anti-aircraft missiles and flak jackets and bulldozers to dig mass graves for the Indians and traitors and collaborators we are going to kill and dispose.

Right now, the building of more and better schools and bridges and roads and other such projects serve to divert attention from the truth of the Rape of Goa, and of our priority in addressing and undoing this evil, of punishing the wrongdoers and of securing Peace and Justice. It deludes Goans into believing that social improvement and infrastructre improvements are the first need of the hour, and divert attention from our actual priorities. It deludes Goans into believing that there is nothing to distinguish Goan from Indian, and to cooperate and collaborate with the Occupation, to treat it as legitimate.

It also strengthens the Occupation since it facilitates (as does the "Konkan Railway") the influx of more and more Indians, attracted by the already superior social and cultural assets of Goa, and it consolidates the Occupation.

There are others who urge that Goa should embrace the culture of "tourism" Â of voyeurism and prurience Â imposed upon us by the Enemy, who have reduced us not only to it's chattels, but also further abuse our humanity by reducing us to museum curios, to be gawked at. Tourism as the primary source of livelihood, is cultural prostitution, meant for a people who have accepted defeat in worldwide competition between peoples to earn their livelihood by their own labors and in dignity, and lies in cheapening oneself, by making museum curios of oneself.

It is telling that, despite all the well-tomtomed grandeur of Pagan India, it is Goa that attracts the bulk of India-bound tourists rather than any part of India. Tourists are attracted to Goa, not because of her natural resources (beaches, etc), for Pagan India has larger and far more magnificient beaches than Goa, but because of the Goan people and their culture, which is a subset of Portuguese culture, of Latin and Roman Culture.

This demonstrates the superiority of our culture to that of Pagan India. Yet, our culture was not developed in order that we prostitute ourselves, but in order to conform to the Judeo-Christian ethic.

People who sell Goa as a "destination" are Gigolos out to prostitute Mother Goa to irreverent aliens who merely wish to gawk at and live off, for a short time, the courtesies and pleasures of Goan culture, but not learn from it or adopt it.

One prominient gigolo was Dr. Juliao Meneses who invited and hosted Dr. Ram-manohara Lohia, the Bihari Neanderthal.

Dr. Lohia, in case Goan memories have forgotten, presumed to lecture and admonish us Goans as to what our responsibilities and duties are!

Another famous pimp was the prostitute Laura, wife of Professor Lucio Rodrigues, and who led the invaders into Goa in December 1961.

True Goans contemn these gigolos and prostitutes. A true Goan is distinguished by his heartburn for Goa, who feels for Mother Goa, and who burns with the urgency to avenge Mother Goa, to redeem her honor, the honor and human dignity of the Goan people. A true Goan is not a bastard, who celebrates "Goa Days" that celebrate the Rape of Mother Goa! A true Goan is one who burns to liberate Goa and to drive the philistine boors and vermin out of Goa and who burns to restore Mother Goa to her pristine glory.

So, my message to you, who claim to be Goan, and to love Goa and Goans, is clear and short: If you do not bleed for Goa, you are not Goan. If you cannot recognize the dishonor done to Goa, and are not motivated to undo it, you are not truly Goan!

If your heart does not bleed for Mother Goa; if you do not acknowledge India' Rape of Goa; if you are not moved to relieve, succour and avenge Mother Goa; if you are not obsessed with overthrowing and bringing to justice the perpetrators Â you are not truly Goan!

People forget or delude themselves that they can avoid the eternal war between Good and Evil. But there is no middle ground between God and Satan, and those that lay down their arms in the defence of Good, both surrender to the lying blandishments of Satan and are also rejected by God as traitors and rebels, whom He joins with Satan, the first traitor and rebel.

Our life on earth is a constant, never-ending warfare. We can either war with Satan, in order to secure our salvation, or we can surrender ourselves to him and further his program!

"Gentlemen may cry, Peace, PeaceÂbut there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Â Patrick Henry

If your heart does not bleed for Goa, you are not truly Goan!

"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills: we shall never surrender." Â Winston Churchill

Clerical Abuse in Ribandar?

2005-01-03T21:39:00.000+05:00

Friends,

I would like you to read this part from the article written by a Goan doctor resident in Bangalore, Dr. Andrade, and lately reproduced in the Einsicht of December 2004, and tell me whether you believe, that as result, there logically will be a great epidemic of sexual abuse cases in the clergy of this sect or not.

Dr Andrade quotes from the letter of a Fr. Chacko of the Diocese of Imphal, a direct participant in the "training" given at the NBCLC at Bangalore:

"The following extract from a letter to the CBCI by Fr. T. J. Chacko, Assistant Director, Pastoral Training Centre, Imphal / Manipur, who attended the NBCLC's tenth Intensive Training Course throws much light on the character of that Institution and on the so-called training imparted at its seminars.

Fr. Chacko writes:
"Interpersonal Relationship (IPR).

"One of the highlights of the course was the fostering of IPR. Besides the many lectures on IPR, we had a night-long discussion on sex relationship, physical expressions of love etc. It started at 8.30 p.m. and lasted till 2.30 a.m. of the following morning, which was short compared with the one during the previous course, which lasted till 4 a.m. Most of the participants perserved till the end anxiously and curiously waiting for the solemn conclusion given by the Director as to how far and how deep one can go in fostering IPR. The happy and infallible conclusion given by the Director in short was:
"Let us begin from the end, say, sexual intercourse; of course that is not allowed by the Church. But there are opinions that permit even that. I don't hold it, and the magisterium does not permit it. (Nor do I condemn it as none has the right to condemn.) As the attraction towards each other is good and normal, so also the physical expression of love is good and normal. Of course, we have to be mature and honest, respect each other's feelings, agree as to what sign to use and must not scandalise anyone... etc"
"From this one can logically conclude the necessary consequences that would follow with-in the walls of the NBCLC of the CBCI, where all are taken to be mature and honest and well-instructed in IPR. No wonder, quite a few priest-nun pairs emerged and were noted deepening their IPR often through the greater part of the night, some even spending weekends together elsewhere. Of course no one has the right to judge or get scandalized. Even if all this is natural and normal for those who are mature and learned, as our director, many of us thought that it is a little too early to go that deep, as most of us are not that mature, especially, as the Church's law of celibacy is not yet abolished."

Gasparjee's Feast of Fools?

2005-01-01T13:05:00.000+05:00

Shreemanjee,

Thank you for your reply. Which, incidentally, is a powerful answer "Sim!" (Yes!) to the question that has been tantalizing me: Are Ullyses Meneses, Gaspar Almeida & Co. the "B-Team" of traducers and quislings to Frederico Noronha's "A-Team"?

If I have addressed you as "jee", it is because you yourself have signed yourself with that form. Since I do not identify myself with Gentio-issimo, it is futile for you to apply that to me. But I can understand your frustration at being taken to task and being exposed.

Did I miss the attribution? I have reproduced it as it was. Since you posted it, and without qualifying remarks, the default conclusion is that you agree with the contents of what you posted. Therefore, it is proper for me to have taken you to task for it.

As for my name, the darkness of Hinduism and Indianism has faded out, and the light of Christ (lux Christi) has dawned forth dispelling all obscurity and confusions, which unfortunately for you, Gjee, a neo-pagan, is something that you can never understand. You need the gift of divine faith to understand Christianity, and the presence of this grace is proven by one's antipathy for error and evil. With you, the only antipathy evident, is towards Christ, His Gospel, Goa, etc.

It is interesting that you tell me to "wake up and smell the coffee". Another outstanding traitor, Dr. Jose Colaco of the Bahamas had once told me, publicly, to give up on Goa, saying, "wake up and smell the feni". Like men think alike, as you evidence.

It does not matter whether I get Polson (not Polsan) or AMUL. AMUL is representative of Indian Imperialism in Goa, but traitors just love it: they bend over and offer their hind-quarters to Mahaan India in order to sodomize them, what? That may be a celebration for you, Gjee, but I am not interested in joining the party.

[Interesting that you bring up butter; doubtlessly, you need it in order to offer your loyal services to your Indian masters!]

In a way, you are right when you say "you wish to be one up on everything"; it is not conceit, but my understanding of social responsibility, as taught by the Bible, that one must combat heresy, or bear responsibility for souls lost while one merely looked on as an idle spectator. Again, however, that is a concept that is foreign to you.

You do not support "Goa and Goans" but you support and celebrate the Rape of Goa, and our enslavement by the Indian Occupation, pretending as if nothing catastrophic, momentous or evil has happened or is happening (such as the rape of Goa's Communidade lands by the Occupation), as if things are all right, etc.

Resisting evil is not "fanatically (supporting) an era gone by."

That era may be a gone-by for traitors like you; for Patriots, it is the lawful Status Quo Ante that Law and Justice demands be restored.

A Patriot is distinguished by his heartburn and anguish at seeing evil done to his country and people unchecked and uncombatted and by his efforts of all kind; his efforts to undo this wrong.

Such efforts may seem "fanatical" or ridiculous to traitors and Masochists like you and Dr. Colaco, but it is you that are mentally and morally diseased, not us Patriots.

But why should criminals, traitors and collaborators seek that the lawful Status Quo Ante be restored? It is contrary to their "vocation" of being quisling, what?

"Christ in the Vedas"

2005-01-01T13:02:00.000+05:00

The Hindu, Madras, Monday, November 15, 2004, page 8: "Case Against Pastor"

Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh: The police have registered a case against a pastor, Jesudasa, of a Pentecostal church here and three other workers, following a complaint by an activist of the Bajrang Dal.

The District Superintendent of Police (DSP), Narsapur, R. Sivarama raju, told the Hindu that the case was registered under Sections 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and 298 (uttering words, etc. with a deliberate intent to wound religious feelings).

According to the DSP, the plans by the church to organise a three-day religious discourse on "Jesus Christ in the Vedas" on Saturday, drew serious objections from the Hindutva organisations.

Leftist Pscychoterrorism & Agitprop

2005-01-01T12:27:00.000+05:00

"Yes Men"-Psychoterrorists: Mike Bonanno & Andy Buichlbaum (http://www.theyesmen.org/)

It is claimed that the "Yes-Men" deceived the BBC. That claim is a hoax. What is evident is that there is a collusion between the two leftist groups. The "Yes-Men" is a tool of Communist psycho-terrorism; BBC is the world's largest Communist propaganda platform. Yet all of this diverts attention from basic facts:

1. The Union Carbide tragedy was as much an act of criminality on the part of the Indian government as of Union Carbide itself. In fact, India's liability is far greater than Union Carbide's, for it was India's socialist Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, who solicited and imported this plant which used outmoded technology. Again, Indian bureaucratic procedures prohibited a complete Union Carbide ownership, and therefore, management, of Union Carbide India, so that it is nonsensical to blame Union Carbide for managmenent lapses.

2. India claims that Warren Anderson, the then CEO of Union Carbide, is "absconding" from the Indian judicial system. The question needs to be asked: Who IS the real CRIMINAL: Warren Anderson or India? When the tragedy happened, Warren Anderson rushed to India, but first took the precaution of obtaining a solemn promise from the Indian government that he would not be arrested. India broke its promise and arrested him. When he was released on bail, he left India. India's breach of faith was, therefore, prior to, and a direct cause of Anderson's own action. And no sane man can argue that Anderson, by thus leaving India, and avoiding India's "justice" has done wrong or has cheated!

3. The collusion between those who portray themselves as victims of the Bhopal tragedy and the Indian government is amazing. There has not been any sincere effort whatsoever at suing the Indian government - not even by victims resident in the U.S. On the contrary, the Indian government has hypocritically assumed to itself the right to sue Union Carbide on behalf of the victims, and collecting compensation, is coolly sitting on these monies. At the same time, the "victims" seem to thrust an eternal begging bowl, as part of the ancient Brahminical Indian tradition of the Eternal Whine, forever asking for more and more and more and more and more and more.... In all of this, Union Carbide has come out cleaner and more honest than either the Indian government, the Whiners or Communist saboteurs such as BBC or the "Yes-Men"!

Gasparjee Almeidajee's Feast of Fools?

2004-12-31T20:26:00.000+05:00

It needs to be asked whether the perception that Ullyses Meneses and Gaspar Almeida are the B-Team to Frederico Noronha's A-Team (Goacom, Goanet, etc) of Goan traducers and quislings, is true or not.

But I will leave that question, interesting enought though it is, hanging and attend to another, more pressing, matter Â Shriman Gasparjee Almeidajee's extraordinary posting of Derridan thought on the sacred occasion of Christmas Â the birthday of Christ Jesus, the Redeemer of mankind.

It is not my intention or desire to go in into the depths of Derrida's thought, but to react merely to this post, which Senhor Francisco Barros has carried here.

It needs to be noted that Jacques Derrida was not even a nominal Christian, but was born a Francophone Jew in Algeria.

From Gjee's post, it is evident that Derrida taught the Modernist heresy condemned by the Church under Pope St. Pius X (1904-1914).

If we accept the vile heresy taught by Derrida, we end up celebrating, not the Incarnation and Birth of Our Lord Christ Jesus, but a Festival of such fools as Derrida... truly, a Doidiranchem Fest!

Let us examine particularly problematic passages in Gasparjee's post:

1. "The gospel writers who told the story of the nativity were not drawing on eyewitness accounts or documentary evidence."

The writers of the Gospels specifically claimed to be authentic witnesses (Matthew & John) or representative of eye-witnesses (Mark, for Peter and Luke for others). They also drew on the memories of other eye-witnesses. There is no scientific basis for pretending that the inimical speculation, born out of the desire for it, that the authors of the Gospel were not "drawing on eyewitness accounts or documentary evidence." It is obvious to any honest man, therefore, that this pretension has its basis in nothing more than anti-Christian malice!

2. "Derrida foresaw the dangerous polarisation of the world into fundamentalist creeds held by people who confidently assert that religion offers clear meaning and certainty. Religion, Derrida has argued, is important precisely because it calls into question all certainty and security and the arrogance that parades as conviction."

More malicious nonsense. Jesus Christ came with specific claims, and to accept Derrida's pretensions is to make nonsense of Christ, His claims, His mission.

3. "The Messiah comes not as a powerful king but as a child born on the margins of society. His mission is not to reign but to die at the hands of those he came to serve. His manifesto represents an overturning of the values that men and women hold dear."

There is no basis to the pretension that Christ's Manifesto "represents an overturning of the values that men and women hold dear." On the contrary, he came to reinforce and purify them, purge them of the false accretions imposed by men on purely human authority; accretions which negated the principles of fraternity and brotherly love imposed by God in His Divine Revelation.

The various paganisms were created by men by fabricating to themselves "gods" in their own sinful image and likeness; "gods" who lusted after other men's wifes, who robbed, who raped, who murdered, who lost control of themselves, who gave themselves up to debased pursuits. In like manner, in face of Christianity, men have been creating for themselves role-models whom they exalt as "great", and before whom they fall down and worship them, as their teachers, precisely because, like the pagan "gods", they permit and "legitimize" wrongdoing and sinfulness.

Such was Mohandas Gandhi. Such was Derrida.

Although a Protestant, C.S. Lewis, in parrotting orthodox Christians in reactions to such self-conceited fools as Gandhi and Derrida wrote (C.S. Lewis: "Jesus: Good Man, Bad Man or Mad Man?"):

I am trying to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I am ready to accept Jesus as the great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic Â on a level with the man who says he is a boiled egg Â or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Thereby, Lewis demonstrated himself to be a moral giant as compared to these contemptible moral pygmies!

I would suggest that Shriman Gasparjee Almeidajee kindly leave us Christians to celebrate Christ's birthday in the Christian fashion, and he can celebrate his Doidiranchem Fest Â on July 15 Â the birthday of his Doidir-arch Jacques Derrida!

Subject: his bithday... by Gasper almeida(ji)

Gaspar Almeida wrote: Manifestly, His is a birthday worth celebrating

December 24, 2004/Sydney Morning Herald

The death in October of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida saw the passing of one of the more influential intellects of the past 50 years, but not of the school of thought he inspired - deconstructionism or postmodernism. Derrida advanced a loosely conceived notion that nothing can be said to exist beyond the language used to describe it. He held that all knowledge is socially constructed, that the meaning of words is essentially arbitrary and subject to interpretation so that reality is ultimately unknowable.

These propositions have been used to argue that there is no such thing as objective truth, only an endless multiplicity of subjective truths. "Outside of the text there is nothing," argued Derrida. And inside it, say his champions, is nothing but a string of infinite possibilities. In response to the latter argument, The Spectator magazine in Britain headlined an article on Derrida's death: "Is Derrida really dead?" The headline was irreverent sarcasm and a comment on the intellectual nihilism of the age which regularly manifests itself in protests at the public celebration of the Christian core of Christmas because it might offend the sensibilities of non-Christians or perhaps because it is judged to be no more than a collective delusion.

This intellectual nihilism is interpreted to mean that ideas are less important than the way they are expressed, that an idea has no more value than the way that it is interpreted by anyone who may receive it, and that no firm conclusions can be drawn about anything. The postmodernist critique elevates respect for others into a kind of uncritical celebration of difference.

One manifestation is political correctness. Another is the so-called cultural war in the West in which many postmodernists deny the validity of authority, tradition or custom of any kind. Such thinking has obvious appeal. It offers a freedom from the discipline of scholarship and the responsibilities of truth (because all disciplines are arbitrary and all truths relative). It rejects established social, moral and political values (because none can ever have a higher claim than any others). It also suits the individualistic attitudes of the day Â the demand that the self is master of its own destiny unbridled by any need to consider others.

Derrida might not have agreed with the lengths to which his ideas have been taken. There is no contradiction, for instance, between what he wrote and the need for moral principles such as equality, justice and generosity. And while Derrida did argue that objective truth is beyond our grasp, that is not to say that it does not exist, only that it can never be entirely understood or communicated with precision.

If ever there was a story that could be dismissed as a mere social construction it is the story of Christmas. The gospel writers who told the story of the nativity were not drawing on eyewitness accounts or documentary evidence. Their reports are inconsistent, even contradictory. The story has been embellished over the centuries by believers and non-believers to the point where, in its popular representation, Christmas is a strange mix of the religious and the secular, of the spiritual and the purely gaudy, of the inspirational and the crassly commercial.

Yet peel back the layers of interpretation and adaptation, dismantle (or deconstruct) the narrative devices employed in the Christmas story and one is still left with a central message that, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, God became incarnate in human affairs. This incarnation reveals something of the nature of God and the destiny of human kind.

God offers new life in the form of a newborn child, and like a child, He offers it unconditionally. Those who accept the offer, however, are born anew and their lives and deaths take on new meaning within the divine plan of redemption.

The gospel of John anticipates a postmodernist critique of this message. The spirit of God that dwells in Jesus Christ, it says, was active in every human being before the incarnation. It was a yearning for the light which shines in darkness although "the darkness comprehended it not". This yearning was not created by the doctrines of the church or of other human constructions. It is innate.

That is why the central message of Christmas Â as distinct from the details of the story - has remained consistent for two millennia and has been received into virtually every culture on earth.

Derrida foresaw the dangerous polarisation of the world into fundamentalist creeds held by people who confidently assert that religion offers clear meaning and certainty. Religion, Derrida has argued, is important precisely because it calls into question all certainty and security and the arrogance that parades as conviction. This, too, is inherent in the Christmas story. The Messiah comes not as a powerful king but as a child born on the margins of society. His mission is not to reign but to die at the hands of those he came to serve. His manifesto represents an overturning of the values that men and women hold dear.

For Derrida, the flip side of belief was not unbelief, but a different kind of belief Â one that embraced the unknown by demanding respect for the partial and provisional truths to which all religious traditions lay some claim. Luke's angel expressed the same sentiment in announcing the birth of Jesus: "Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men." That is the promise Christmas holds and the enduring, objective, undeniable challenge it continues to pose.

Sumatran Earthquake and Tsunami Aftermath

2004-12-31T20:23:00.000+05:00

It would seem that the toll will climb, and that the real toll will never be known with precision. Much of the affected areas - Eelam, Aceh, Somalia, etc., are torn by conflicts, while other areas suffer from governments which are indifferent, if not positively hostile to certain segments of the population, being composed of ascendant elites ruling under the manipulated veneer of democracy.

In the Indian Union, some Hindu groups had propositioned the disaster as being "divine retribution" (sic!) for the Tamilnadu provincial police's arrest of the Sankaracharya of the Kanchipuram-Kamakoti for homicide.

Also, today, in addition to a panic overseen by the Indian government, of a threat of a fresh tsunami, there have been SMSs circulating that claimed that seafood should be avoided, being infected by some virus unleased by the disaster. What the perpetrators probably were trying to do was drive the non-vegetarian public away from eating seafood since many people were drowned by the tsunamis and were partially eaten by marine animals.

More Evidence of Ghant Hypocrisy

2004-12-31T20:22:00.001+05:00

Times of India, Bby, Saturday, Dec 25, 2004, Edit Page, pg. 16:

"Conversations With Readers"

"Martyr Move"

Many Maharashtrians, who as youngsters just out of college like me were drawn into the heady albeit unfortunate movement for Samyukta Maharashtra, thanks to the misplaced obstinacy of Jawaharlal Nehru and company, would not have been amused by your news report 'Governor counters opposition, pays homage to martyrs' (Dec 7).

What you call a shrewd move by governor S.M. Krishna, is nothing but a hypocritical act, befitting the politician that he is. If he had followed the history of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement, as he clqims to have, he owed it to himself to go down to Hutatma Chowk to pay homage to those who laid down their lives for Maharashtra. Indeed, what has prevented him from doing so all these years? Would he do it if he gets into the saddle in Karnataka again?

As the Chief Minister of Karnataka, having opposed the merger of Belgaum and other Marathi-dominated parts of Karnataka with Maharashtra in no uncertain terms, his present act has only served to add insult to injury, and sadly, by daring him to do so, the Shiv Sena, many of whose present-day leaders were not even born then and whose chimerical concern for those martyrs is equally self-serving, has only helped him get away with an undeserving rajayoga. Indeed, the hollow facade of his sudden solicitousness towards Maharashtra deserves to be exposed.

Begusarai Incident

Begusarai Riots Over Cop's Murders After Attempted Rape Foiled

ToI, Bby, Saturday, Nov 20, 2004. Pg 5:

A policeman whose bid to rape a young woman was foiled fired at a mob indiscriminately, killing three people and injuring several others here on Thursday night.

Protesting the incident, a mob went on the rampage on Friday, torching the Begusarai railway station and tracks.

Havaldar (Constable) Dinanath Tiwari, who was patrolling the town on a motorcycle, arrived at the house of 18-year-old widow Seema around midnight and asked her father to fetch a glass of water. When the old man went in, Tiwari allegedly tried to force himself on Seema. However, Seema raised an alarm, following which a crowd gathered. Sensing danger, Tiwari, who was drunk, fired indiscriminately from his stengun, killing Seema's grandmother Devki and a 14-year-old son of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF paramilitary) constable who lived nearby, instantly.

Indian Friends of Goa?

2004-12-31T20:21:00.000+05:00

Ever since I have awoken to the full truth of Goa, and have begun to publicly advocate its cause, I have been intrigued by the absence of right-minded or righteous Indians, who themselves recognized and advocated the Goan cause. By analogy, in every other cause, there is a such a group, composed of persons united by their membership in the Perpetrator-State but who reject what, from their viewpoint, is the wrong done by their mother state upon the victim-people. Likewise, there have been other national groups or "parties" (if they may be called that) who supported foreign causes as being just.

Yet, with the lone exception of Rajagopalacharya, who anyway had been sidelined for being independent-minded as a dissident within the Indian Union's then ruling party, under Jawaharlal Nehru, the Indian National Congress Party, no Indian protested or rejected the mischief and crimes perpetrated by the Indian Union under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru against the inoffensive Portuguese and Goans - who had initiated no aggressions, but who lived happily, even if in relative material poverty, and who asked for nothing but to be left alone.

I have always been wondering why, and hoping to find such "righteous Indians", which is why I have sometimes invited or permitted Indians to enter and participate in the GoanCenter forum. One such person I had invited was a Rajendra Singh, who gives himself off as a human rights activist; another was Vasant Baliga, a Tuluvan (Tulu-speaking native of Tulunad or the Udipi-Mangalore stretch immediately south of the Concan), a Hindu who is married to a "Christian" (probably a white woman) and who evidently has nominally become a "Christian".

However, uptil now, my hopes have been disappointed.

I am not, however, surprised. For one thing, India, built on the Hindu "civilization" (an oxymoron, if ever there was any) is evil, malicious, misanthropic at its very foundation, in its very foundational principles, built upon racism, racial superiority and the Caste System.

For another, the Cause of Goa is unique. Alone in the world, the Goan people refused to be seduced into secessionism, into the alluring but false siren of "anti-colonialism" and continued steadfast in their ancient loyalties to Portugal as comprising not only Iberian Portugal, but also all its Ultramarine Provinces, such as Goa.

By contrast, the Timorese had been seduced by this siren and had rebelled, as indeed nearly all of African Portugal. Finally, even Iberian Portugal, worn out by the long and expensive (in both financial and manpower terms) Wars of Attrition foisted upon it by the Communists and the Left, and seduced by the popular falsehood of "anti-colonialism", seceded from the four-hundred years plus of Multi-cultural, multi-continental Portugal.

It is for this reason that the Left has hypocritically refused to countenance Goa's rights and pretends that the Indian invasion and occupation is right, legal and moral.

Sumatran Earthquake and Indian Ocean-wide Tsunamis

2004-12-30T21:40:00.000+05:00

The Great Earthquake that struck off the western coast of Sumatra was probably triggered by the Great Earthquake that struck a day previously in the submarine Macquarie Ridge, of which the uninhabited Macquarie Islands of Australia, located close to Antarctica, are a part.

What is certain is that the Sumatran Quake triggered another powerful quake in the seabed a little northwest of the Nicobar Archipelago, which caused far more damage to the Nicobar Islands than the Sumatran Quake itself.

It is amazing that the littoral states of the Indian Ocean did not have a Warning System in place similar to that of the Pacific Rim of Fire. This cost many thousands of lives in the Indian Sub-continent, Ceylon, the Maldives, and in East Africa Â Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, etc., lives which could and should have been largely saved if there had been an early warning system in place, to warn of the coming tsunami.

Certainly, there was more than ample time for early warning both in South Asia and in East Africa, although not in South-East Asia. [The tsunami reached the eastern littoral of the Indian subcontinent, and Ceylon a good 90 minutes or more after the quake; it probably took more than that time to proceed further west to East Africa!]

The Government of the Indian UnionÂs whining about the costs involved in setting up an Early Warning System is typical of its long-timed malaise and wrong priorities. The toll in lives and potentials lost vastly outstrips the costs of a warning system; but the malaise of these governments lie in the fact that they see their people not as assets but as liabilities!

Seabed Earthquakes are not very frequent in the Indian Ocean, but do occur and take a heavy toll of lives. However, they are more frequent in the Eastern parts of the Indian Ocean than the western parts, since the east abuts the Pacific "Ring of Fire", and the Sunda Archipelago, largely occupied by Indonesia, is both an integral part of the Ring of Fire and also seismically hyperactive.

In the western Indian Ocean, the last major event was a seabed earthquake in 1945 which struck the coast of Makran in British Belochistan, Sind and the city of Karachi, and other coasts of the subcontinent, besides the coasts of Oman and Yemen in Arabia. A minor tsunami had been observed in Bombay.

The Sumatran Earthquake and attendant tsunamis have awoken the sleeping hens who have begun to chatter excitedly, who will all quietly go back to sleep on the issue after some time, finding other things to get excited about Â like Page 3 events.

Papers have been agonising the fate of Bombay if caught in the line of tsunamis similar to the Sumatran, or if struck by major earthquakes.

The possibilities of Bombay, located in the largely quiescent western part of the Indian Ocean, being struck by a major tsunami like the Sumatran, are relatively remote. The pelagic seabed off Bombay is not known for major seismic activity, and the nearest seismic hotspots are the points where the Arabian and Indian plates collide off the Coasts of Oman and Baluchistan in Pakistan, and the submarine Carlsberg ridge, which is an extension of the Great Rift Valley.

The Great Rift Valley System cuts through East Africa from nearly South Africa going up to Egypt, branching off into a minor Rift Valley between Israel and the Trans-Jordan. The Branch that concerns us, however, is the one that forms the Red Sea and then continues under the Indian Ocean, nearly midway under the Arabian Sea and continuing into the Indian Ocean proper. A part of this submarine Rift Valley System forms what is called the Carlsberg Ridge, and also probably, the Lakshadweep, Maldives and Chagos Islands (including Diego Garcia).

Both Bombay and Goa sit over peculiar seismic zones Â areas broken off from the Konkan plate and broken into a number of small platelets twisting around and grinding against each other. There are four flashpoints in the Western Littoral of the subcontinent Â Cutch, which is major, Bombay, Goa and Kerala, of which the last is semi-major, while the other two are relatively quiescent.

The entire Konkan is itself seismically active, being caused by a break in the Indian plate, with the Deccan rising above, and the western edge of the Konkan subsiding into the sea.

Goa seems to be made of several platelets, including Bardez, Ilhas and Salsette, and with the eastern mainland twisted in peculiar formations. The rift valleys form the courses of the several rivers and streams Â the Rio Mandovi, the Rio Zuari, the Rio da MapuÃ§a, the Rio do Ourem, the peculiar topography of Divar and ChoraÃµ Islands.

Bombay is underlined by a nest of semi-minor to minor fault lines, and is largely made up of rift valleys. Major rift valleys are the triple-branched Bombay Harbour, which pokes up north as the Thane Creek, east as the Panvel Creet and south as the Pen-Mandhwa Creek; the Mahikawati Rift between Worli and Mahim islands on the west, and Mazagon, Parel and Sion on the east, partly forming the Mahim Creek, and travelling up into the Island of Salsette as the Mahi River. Two other rifts are those underlying the Manori Creek and the Marve-Ghodbunder Creek, which separates the Island of Salsette from Daravi Island (Uttan).

[According to the Times of India, geologists had reported, in 1950, a fault line between the south end of the former Worli Island and the Cumballa branch of the former Bombay island, under what is today the minor gulf abutting the islet of Haji Ali. That would also stand to reason.]

One peculiar locus in the vicinity of Bombay is the riparian marshes on the Ulhas River just above the city of Thane, between the towns of Bhiwandi and the former JamesÂ Siding, now Ulhasnagar or Sindhunagar Â it seems that multiple fault lines have converged here and the land has been twisted around savagely, similar to the situation of Cutch.

Unfortunately for Bombay, the British had encroached upon much marine border-areas by dynamiting the hills and filling the rift valleys with the rubble. According to Seismologists, such "reclaimed" lands are the most dangerous during a major earthquake, as the land will "slosh" around very much like a jelly would.

The larger part of Bombay sits on such reclaimed land.

The policy of encroaching upon the sea in this manner continues unabated even after Independence Â in areas such as Cuffe Parade, New Bombay, Bandra, Mahim (north of the fortress), etc. Someday, there will be a terrible price to be paid.

Friends,

Senhor Agnelo Gracias has provided me with a copy of a letter written by Dr. A.A. Bruto da Costa to Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, as a follow-up on the one he wrote earlier to her father, Jawahar Hitler Nehru, and which I had put up on the net earlier.

Here they are:

1. http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/bruto2indira.html Letter to Indira Gandhi

2. http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/brutocosta.html Earlier Letter to Jawaharlal Hitler Nehru.

I think that we Goans have whined enough. Reason and hot air is not going to budge the Philistines. I am thinking that we need radical action.

How to Rubbish the First Commandment: Remo's Edification

2004-12-06T20:26:00.000+05:00

http://www.goacom.com/goanow/2002/jan/festivals.html

"Siolim Zagor: Example of Inter-religious Harmony"

GUDEM, the riverine section of Siolim village suddenly gets filled as if inundated by a flash flood of thousands of people pouring from all sides on the night following the village feast in early January or the last days of February every year, for the famed "Siolim Zagor".

If you happen to be anywhere near Remo's house in Gudem after the sun sets beyond the swaying coconut trees, it would be like witnessing a rare procession of people of all ages and vehicles of all sorts, rushing towards the beach. But the road takes a right turn before reaching the Gudem beach.

Here there is a black rock, which is covered with crimson marigolds, which appear ever more fiery in the glowing light of the chunks of candles lit by the devotee around the rock.

A little distance away is a chapel, Catholics as well as Hindus stop to offer candles or a prayer, and then proceed further to the temple of the Zagorio, the presiding deity of the Siolim zagor, which is celebrated every year by the Hindus and Catholics jointly. "Zagor" apparently comes from the term "zagronn" (night vigil), which it actually is.

A little before midnight, a group of elders are seen crowded around a small bonfire, warming up the hides of their ghuttam-madlim (traditional Goan percussion instruments), the thumping beat of which reverberates in the village, signaling that the 'sunvari' is begun. The sunvari is like an exuberant procession of men and boys dancing with burning torches, made of dried palm leaves, while the percussion players provide the beat.

One 'sunvari' each take of from the south and the north by saying a prayer at the house, where they have always done it for a couple of centuries probably. Their advent is announced by fireworks. They halt at a few places of religious significance for Catholics coming from the South and Hindus from the North, until they reach the colourfully lit, and jampacked pandal of the Zagorio temple. The sunvaris, the Christian one with the ghumttam-madlim and the Hindu one with the dhol-taso (larger drums), have to wend their way through the milling crowd which gathers for the nocturnal event.

Once at the pandal, the dancers dash to the stage to dance another queer dance called "Bhorbhoria" (let's go together)--a sort of a hopping dance--before going to pay their tributes in flowers or candles to the Zagorio idol at the back of the stage and receive the 'prasad'. Of course, not many of the Catholics are seen to approach the Zagorio though they are seen helping in the arrangement, or pouring oil in the flaming torches which burn on either side of the stage.

Many people come to witness the traditional zagor characters of the Bhonvor, who dances with a large headgear, which is decorated with buntings and burning candles, the king singing the praises to the saints and the local patroness, the mali (gardener) and others dancing their weird, primitive dances.

The role of the Bhonvor, apparently the principal character of the play, is reserved for the family of Rodrigues. With a decorated staff in his hands, it looks like the Bhonvor rows a canoe down the Chapora river, judging by the type of rustic movements he enacts. The accompanying music for the traditionally dressed performers are the loud percussion instruments, while an elderly Hindu, Daji Shirodkar, recites the 'ovios' (religious verses). After theperformance winds up, the traditional zagor too is over, and the tiatr takes over.

All the houses are lit for the occasion. Being the Christmas season, the Christian houses are generally lit with stars and colourful lights, but the Hindus, who from the majority of those dwelling on the coastal strip, too decorate their houses. They even have guests coming from various places for the annual zagor.

A vast fair gathers along the narrow roads leading to the temple. There are stall of sweetmeats and other eatables. Looking back at the entire, crowded event, it could be an exciting adventure for a newcomer, who would be wondering from where a sea of humanity pours into the small village so late in the night. But that's not the real essence of the rare, ethnic event. What's important is that it is being celebrated jointly by the Hindus and Catholics of the area, with definite roles assigned to certain households.

Judging by the type of entertainment we come across today, particularly since the advent of the television in every household, it is quite striking to find that the people are still given to the rustic mode of the dance-drama celebration. One just cannot understand how several generations down the centuries have kept the zagor alive. Though there is so much of Catholic element in the nocturnal event, the Church seemed to have considered it a pagan tradition. Then, a few years ago, when famed rockstar Remo came to settle in Gudem. He got excited by the happening and began joining in the celebrations, performing on his guitar and playing the flute.

Remo's presence added a new dimension to the whole affair and it starting drawing larger crowds from the other section of the people, who either did not know of the zagor or had not given it much of thought. Remo, being busy with his music engagements all over the country, cannot make it to the zagor nowadays. But there could be quite a few people who come hoping to catch a glimpse of him performing. And so the famed zagor goes on year after year at beachside Gudem in Siolim, keeping alive a real rare Goan tradition of communal amity.

Concannim history

2004-12-04T16:45:00.000+05:00
Friends,

I have found some interesting pages on Wikipedia, which I would like to share with you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saurashtra
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra
I had learnt many years ago, that the Konkan or Concan extends far into the north, probably beyond the Narmada, although the northern boundary has been mentioned as a River "Mayur", which I am unable to find. However, it is a fact that Damao, Dadra & Nagar-Aveli, the district of the Dangs, and the city and district of Surat all fall well within the Konkan / Concan.

Surat was founded by Gujarati immigrants and colonists fleeing from the Arab and Muslim conquest of their own land across the Gulf of Cambay ("Khambatta"), from their historic country then called "Sorath" or "Soruth", but now known by the Brahminized "Saurashtra". The name "Surat" is meant to establish continuity with their original country of Sorath.

The colonists drove the native Konkani / Concannim into the interior, and reduced them to forest tribes, now known as the "Konknni" in most references.

What I did not have, was a date for this occurence. From the Wikipedia page on Surat, it seems that this was shortly before the entry of the Portuguese...

Secondly, the original Marathi homeland is usually referred to, in Colloquial Marathi, as "Desh" or "Country"; which reference implies colonisation of its neighbors. I am glad to find that many pages, and especially the Wikipedia article on "Maharashtra" itself mentions this fact, thus strengthening my case against the Marathi.

Another interesting page, and one that should be both instructive and inspirational, is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Creole
