Will There Be Another Pope?

The pope has said he is going to resign on 28^th February 2013. It will be interesting to see whether another pope will be elected to take his place.

St. Peter's Successor

St. Peter is one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, but he did not write a version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Peter called Mark his “son”, thus giving him the spiritual title of disciple and successor to his own Apostolic ministry.

Saint Mark the Evangelist, son of Peter, wrote the first version of the Gospel. Mark was not one of the Twelve, as he had not been a direct follower of Jesus, and what he wrote in his version of the Gospel, was imparted to him by Peter the Apostle.

The Gospel according to St. Mark is the Petrine version of the Word and Deeds of Jesus Christ.

The Synoptic Line of Succession

St. Matthew and St. Luke each structured their own version of the Gospel upon that of Mark the first Evangelist, so-by presenting us with a synoptic succession of the Petrine version of the Word of Jesus. Matthew and Luke also included in their presentation of the Scripture information that was not present in Mark's version. Much of this added information is about the birth and infancy of Jesus, and appears to have been directly given them by the Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ.

Matthew and Luke succeeded Mark in his Apostolic mission and built upon it, further edifying the House of Jesus Son of God.

Saint John the Evangelist

St. John wrote the fourth version of the Gospel, and being one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, he did not need to “succeed” Peter, but presented his Scripture based on its own structure, as a direct witness to Christ. For this reason, his book is not part of the synoptic cycle of the Gospel.

In the Gospel according to St. John, Jesus began to openly reveal himself to the People at a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. There his Mother said to him: “They have no wine left.”

Despite Jesus' protestations, She went on to say to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”

This, according to St. John, is the command from Mary, the Virgin Mother of Jesus, that initiated the preaching of the Reign of God to the Galileans.

Who Are the Popes?

The Catholic Church does not recognise St. Mark as the Successor to Peter the Apostle, but starts its line of successors with Linus. One Linus is briefly mentioned by St. Paul in one of his epistles, but nowhere is he mentioned in the New Testament as St. Peter's successor to the Apostolic Church.

None of the people listed in the Vatican's line of succession to the ministry of St. Peter contributed to the New Testament, and yet the Catholic Church declares them as the successors of Peter, while not acknowledging Mark the Evangelist as Peter's declared son and successor.

The Holy Scriptures

The Gospel could not have prevailed if the New Testament had not been written in writing by the four Evangelists. These Evangelists were members of the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, and they wrote either what they personally had witnessed of the Son of God, or that which others who did personally witness him taught them.

A Word from a Lady In High came thus:

people must love the words which the priests speak of Jesus from the Holy Scriptures.

The EU Meat Scandal

Are we fed on rubbish due to EU regulation?

“The Polish product was labeled as beef offcuts – slaughterhouse leftovers – that the Irish plants used as cheap filler material in budget-priced burgers”.

The statement from the Irish Agriculture Department comes after DNA testing in Ireland in January and February 2013 revealed a colossal meat scandal within the European Union. The Irish Police are investigating, and Ireland's government has announced that DNA testing revealed that meat offcuts imported to Ireland from Poland, and labeled as beef, in reality contain up to 75% horse meat.

What Rubbish Are People Being Fed on?

The very first question we should ask, is why the people of countries that are members of the European Union are being fed on cheap filler material in “budget-priced burgers”. Offcuts and leftovers from slaughterhouses are being sent from one end of the European Union to the other and processed as “integral food”, to be then sold at cheap prices to an impoverished population that does not really know what is landing on their plate.

These leftovers include horse meat, which costs a fraction of beef.

How much nasty fat is contained in cheap filler material offered to the impoverished populace in EU countries? What actually are the cutoffs and leftovers being fed to the people, even when the product really does contain only “beef”?

Mountains of integrated EU regulations, and cheap grub-meal, with cheap, nasty leftover by-products being transported from one corner of the EU to the other and sold for Public consumption!

The Meat Scandal Spreads Through the EU

Soon after Ireland announced the first discovery of horse meat in beef burgers in January 2013, DNA tests on meat samples were made in Britain, where Irish beef products are imported, and it led to the discovery of a large-scale fraud consisting of fake preprepared beef meals being sold in the form of burgers, lasagne and spaghetti bolognese in some of Britain's major super-market chains, with up to 100% horse meat being found in some of the items that were analysed.

It has been revealed that some of the cheap filler material comes from France, and that a French food producer imported it from Romania. To then sell some of it on to Britain. According to Reuters on 9 February 2013, “French Consumer Affairs Minister Benoit Hamon said an investigation had found that the horse meat had originated in Romania, although there were links with French, Dutch and Cypriot firms and a factory in Luxembourg".

Reuters reports that a French food manufacturer had “recalled lasagne and two other products after discovering that they included horse meat from Romania rather than beef from France as it had thought”.

One director general of a French food processor stated: “we thought we had certified French beef in our products. But in reality, we were supplied with Romanian horse meat. We have bee deceived”.

EU Consumption Policies Based on Ideological Dogma

The public in any country that is an EU member state is still deceived into believing that what they purchase as “made in their own country”, really is a home-made product. But EU ideology aims at making all member states artificially interdependent on each other.

The carbon footprint, meant to reduce transport distances from the producer to the consumer, is an enemy of EU policy, as too is the label saying “made in your own country”.

The European Union leaders are out to destroy sovereignty and sanity and replace it with an unending stream of transport vehicles carrying supplies from one end of Europe to the other, and even across the sea to Britain and Ireland: products that used to be, and could be, produced at home, in each individual country.

This is why the Public at large in Ireland, Britain, France and … who knows where else … is discovering that cheap leftovers from Polish and Romanian abattoirs are landing on their plate under the guise of “meat”, and that horse meat is being sold as “beef”.

Britain's Economic Recovery Prediction 2013

The British economy may experience significant recovery in 2013 owing to a series of circumstances related to the pound sterling.

Predicted UK Economic Improvement

One of the biggest problems weighing down the UK economy is the over-valued pound sterling. As the pound is basically a debt-based currency with no real support to uphold its artificially high value, it is likely to drastically fall against other major currencies on the exchange market, and this downgrading of the British currency will probably come about as a result of continuing economic collapse.

The positive aspect in this is that it will determine a marked fall in UK unemployment and an increase in exports. Imports will fall, the trade deficit will become narrower and possibly even turn in Britain's favour, becoming a trade surplus. There are some very good reasons to support the view that the super-pound, one of the biggest woes affecting the United Kingdom's economy, is finally about to undergo a thorough shearing process, reflecting more the image of a down-to-earth British pound than the hitherto overgrown sheep disguised as a lamb as we currently know it.

Britain's Gold Reserves

The UK's gold reserves amount to 310 tonnes all weighed and counted. This is a far cry from Germany's 3,400 tonnes of gold reserves, Italy's 2,450 and France's 2,435 tonnes. Even Portugal has 382 tonnes of gold reserves, 72 more than Britain, while the Netherlands have 612 tonnes, almost twice the amount the UK can boast of. Portugal and the Netherlands both have a significantly smaller population – and economy – than Britain, too!

And the United States of America can account for over 8,000 tonnes of gold reserves.

The logical conclusion in the comparison of gold stocks is that the pound sterling is unable to fall back on a monetary back-up system, whereas Italy and France, which each have a population and an economy similar in size to Britain's, both have eight times more gold reserves. These two countries, and also Germany and the Unites States of America, could use their gold stocks to back up their currencies, namely the euro and the US dollar. The USA could even use their enormous strategic reserves of oil and gas as a supplementary backup to further strengthen the dollar, whereas the now defunct British Empire does not offer Britain any control over the once abundant gold and silver mines that used to fill London's Treasury and palaces.

And how much is gold worth today? Well, with gold steadily increasing in value and close to 2,000 US dollars per ounce, this means that one tonne of gold bullion is worth between 60 and 65 million US dollars.

Revaluation of Currencies

The present financial world crisis is likely to see Britain's major economic competitors use their national gold stocks to support their currencies, thus leaving a debt-based pound with a 1 trillion pound UK Public Debt, a trade deficit and a banking system in rapid decline. Eurozone countries can count on many hundreds of billions of dollars worth of gold bullion, as too the USA, with Britain by comparison reaching a mere $18 billion.

And while Britain's North Sea oil and gas reserves are in dire decline, Greece has oil and gas reserves estimated in trillions of dollars!

So, if the pound sterling should fall in value against the dollar and the euro, perhaps by 50-75%, this should result in Britain's minimum wage, once calculated in euros and zloties, being far too insignificant to attract millions of Eastern Europeans to the UK.

British jobs would go to British people, imports would become too expensive, whereas exports would rise. Unemployment in the UK would fall, and the housing market would be free of the massive influx of Eastern European workers, thus reducing the cost of rent and the cost of mortgages.

The enormous strains on the National Health Service and on education owing to mass immigration would be greatly alleviated, and the costs of the UK benefit system would be enormously reduced as millions of British people find work.

There would be no more incentive for seasonal workers from Eastern Europe to come flocking to the Promised Land of Sheer Bankruptcy and find employment so as to send their income home, while paying hardly any tax worth mentioning on their minimum wage, but exploiting in full every social service offered in the UK.

In short, come the devaluation of the pound sterling, come Prosperity!
