In Case You Missed It…

 Fifty Taliban Commanders Killed and no one noticed

The Taliban has reportedly conducted a “Spring Offensive” reign of terror across Afghanistan, gaining territory, attacking Police stations and killing officers. Apparently some fifty of their leaders gathered for a secret meeting, and the result looked much like what we saw in Syria. A particular residential compound went up in a ball of smoke and dust leaving everything around virtually undisturbed.

The men killed are described as the top echelon of Taliban commanders and believed to be at a planning session for further operations. Military spokesmen were quick to point out that the strike won’t mean an end to Taliban mayhem in Afghanistan, but it certainly represents a setback for their cause.

The Taliban quickly dismissed the report as propaganda. They called it an attack on a residence where a handful of civilians were killed. 

You won’t see much of this in the mainstream news. One major network offered it as, “The US said…” which indicates a degree of skepticism about the authenticity of the report. It is doubtful you’ll see any panels of seven to discuss the ramifications. A report like this doesn’t fit the narrative.

Anglican Sob Story

Apparently there is still competition between the Anglican and Catholic hierarchies. Not to be outdone by the pope’s blessings bestowed on homosexuality, the Anglican church is openly calling for trans-gender priests as part of their current “diversity drive.” Apparently they think that “young people” will be attracted back into the fold if the doctrines of political correctness are incorporated into the “faith.” 

Here’s proof, from a quote in Britain’s Guardian. “The guidance, titled ‘welcoming and honoring LGBT+ people,’ (not enough letters in the alphabet to ID all perversions) warns that the church’s reputation as being unwelcoming towards gay and transgender people is stopping young people attending.” 

The “Church” already called on the British Government to outlaw so-called “conversion therapy.” Political Correctness holds that there is no cure, and if there were it would be discriminatory and hateful. Leaders have gleaned that the Anglican Church is regarded as “homophobic and trans-phobic” and it’s costing them. So, the answer is obvious. Trans-sexual priests! That ought to fix it.

Australia already has one, and he doesn’t look much like a female. “She” apparently dressed up in grandma’s clothes in the attic as a little boy, and never recovered. It’s a sympathetic story, but it goes on and on, and on. “She,” while still a he, married Britain’s first female Anglican priest and the story really gets interesting. You see, Australia’s first trans-woman “priest” was ordained in 1986, but only recently decided to become a woman, after the discovery of some secret knickers. 

The story, written with contrived emotion, is carried at length with lots of photographs and shouldn’t be described further here lest we burst into hilarity. This ain’t Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s a comedy, but laughter is verboten! You can read it courtesy of ABC (Australia Broadcast Corporation, Meet Australia’s first transgender priest).

Climate Change RELIGION

Good news doesn’t get a lot of press. The roaring economy, record low unemployment and the scandalous reports of the US becoming energy independent is anything but good news to the mainstream purveyors of information. So the pope himself is getting involved. He’s hosting a meeting in Rome to include CEO’s of the major energy producers and their investors to warn that their successes are contributing to “climate change,” the current euphamism for “global warming.”

This meeting is crucial, particularly in light of America’s departure from the Paris Climate Accords, the gutting of EPA regulatory mandates and other environmental outrages committed by you know who. It’s all on the corporations now to enforce the doctrines of political correctness, as current White House leadership has turned its attention, and ours, to other matters. With the weight of the Vatican, and the cooperation of corporate executives under the premise of belief in man-made “climate change” as a Christian prerogative, global warming can be revived as a crisis in everyone’s mentality. We’ll see.

Irish Referendum Repeals Ban on Abortion

A majority if Irish voters turned out May 26 to repeal the Eighth Amendment of their constitution, the one that provided protection for unborn children. The debate preceding the referendum highlighted the issues that routinely characterize the debate; rape, incest and abnormal fetal development. How abortion laws in Ireland will change remains to be seen. But the outright ban has been repealed, with the details yet to be addressed.
