\u00a0Simply put, they cannot possibly bear any responsibility for such an eventuality.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the much more serious matter of these same bloggers who take every opportunity to bash the Great White Brotherhood. \u00a0Woe to them who criticize or besmirch the virtuous reputations of those truly great beings who populate the firmament of the Great White Brotherhood. \u00a0These spiritual entities have worked tirelessly over eons toward the advancement and betterment of humankind. \u00a0Not only are they responsible for the protection of the current race of humanity, they continue to make untold sacrifices on behalf of nations and peoples everywhere.<br \/>\n<em>(Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cosmiconvergence.com\/2016\/03\/13\/the-new-atlantis-master-plan-of-the-ages\/\">THE NEW ATLANTIS: Master Plan Of The Ages<\/a>)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15122\" src=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315.jpg\" alt=\"34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315\" width=\"650\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315.jpg 992w, https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/34fe8818715a2b1560ca2893fbdbc315-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Mother Theresa<\/h3>\n<p>Next we turn our serious attention to the matter of Mother Theresa, soon to be canonized a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. \u00a0Her canonization has triggered a backlash among the hardcore atheists who have taken every opportunity to bash her reputation. \u00a0By and large their unfounded criticisms amount to scurrilous ad hominem attacks designed to do one thing above all else: forever ruin her reputation and taint her goods works.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are uninitiated in the business of libel and slander, almost everything negative that has been written about Mother Theresa is patently false. \u00a0Much of this fictitious material was thought up by the devout atheist Christopher Hitchens. \u00a0Since Mother Theresa is no longer here to defend herself, we will do it for her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wittingly or unwittingly, Hitchens was chosen early on to be a key hitman for the <em>New World Order<\/em> cabal.<\/strong> \u00a0The CCRG has followed his work very closely and found irreconcilable contradictions in his writings. \u00a0In fact, there was only ONE way to reconcile this curious situation: he was working for the elites all along. \u00a0Initially he may not have known such was the case being a classic example of controlled opposition. \u00a0However, his contradiction of thought became so egregious that he must have joined the cabal quite knowingly at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchens&#8217; totally irrational and uncharacteristically avid support for the Iraq War is a perfect case in point. \u00a0How does a guy like Hitchens with all of his previous anti-war sentiments all of a sudden become the British torch-bearer for the odious and criminal Iraq War? \u00a0Enough said.<\/p>\n<p>What is critical to understand about Hitchens, the original prevaricator about all negative things having to do with Mother Theresa, is that he was extremely proud of his atheism. He was the standard-bearer for the European atheism movement that has been so effective at turning Europeans against the very notion of God. \u00a0In the advancement of his cause he knew that the very best way to take down religion was to take down its best messengers.<\/p>\n<p>The good works of Mother Theresa presented the best target Hitchens could find. \u00a0Once he started letting loose on her, he never looked back. \u00a0He knew she was no longer here to defend herself; he also knew that his calumny marked by sophistry was virtually impossible for anyone to respond to. \u00a0<strong>Why is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of us are on our respective spiritual journeys. \u00a0We all go through difficult periods where our faith is tested. <em>The Dark Night of the Soul<\/em> is a well known part of the journey for those who are walking their path in earnest. \u00a0It is during those times that we voice our doubts internally, or through our writings (e.g. diaries) and speech. \u00a0The point is that becoming a saintly person, or trying to live a Christian life, is extremely challenging in modern society. It&#8217;s practically becoming impossible to do so in public. \u00a0Mother Theresa was in the public eye her entire adult life subject to the harsh scrutiny of men and women who were rich and powerful, egotistical and arrogant.<\/p>\n<p>In many of her charitable pursuits she was called upon to be a negotiator, to be a saleswoman, to be a boss, to be a builder, to be many things all at once. \u00a0In those various roles it is very easy to have your words or actions misconstrued by cynical or godless people. \u00a0When stories got out, or were even made up by those who did not understand her, they could be easily used to tar her impeccable reputation.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t take long for the steady drip from naysayers to reach the scandalous London press. \u00a0London is, in fact, the home to the original tabloid press corps. \u00a0The English-writing and speaking media was established by those who were intent on controlling every aspect of the planetary civilization. \u00a0Those same imperialists eventually set up an empire upon which the sun never set. \u00a0Without the media working its magic 24\/7 over all these decades the British Empire would have never risen.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Empire still lives on in the form of the <em>New World Order<\/em>, the financial arm of which sits in the Crown Temple in the Financial District in the City of London, the media which emanates from there is quite purposeful and all-powerful. \u00a0<strong>The removal of religion from Western societies is now an integral part of their NWO plan to establish a One World Government where the global citizen only has allegiance to the state and devotion to whatever new fake religion they attempt to fabricate.<\/strong> \u00a0Their template is very similar to the totalitarian communist model whereby religion is completely removed from society and spirituality is practically outlawed. \u00a0Only in this way can the perpetual aggrandizement of an atheistic political economy become the centerpiece of the <em>New World Order<\/em> and their planned One World Government.<\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<strong>VERY Special Note:<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>There are very specific reasons why the TPTB work incessantly to take down the finest among men and women. \u00a0They know that the heroes inspire and motivate us. \u00a0That the saints enlighten and empower us. \u00a0That the virtuous set great examples about how to live our lives. \u00a0That the sages and seers since time immemorial impart sacred knowledge and eternal wisdom. \u00a0These great beings therefore represent the very antithesis of what the NWO citizen is supposed to become. \u00a0The ruling elites want slaves, not freemen. \u00a0They want automatons not critical thinkers. \u00a0They want robots, not independent spirits who ever question authority. \u00a0Now consider what Thomas Jefferson and George Washington did. \u00a0How about Saint Francis of Assisi and Joan of Arc. \u00a0By the way how many great Hollywood movies have ever been made about John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Thomas Paine, James Madison, etc.? \u00a0There&#8217;s the answer! Where do the people go for divine assistance, for needed encouragement, for sacred knowledge and sublime wisdom when the saints have also been taken down? \u00a0Who do we look up to &#8230; &#8230; &#8230; whose spirits do we invoke in our times of greatest need. \u00a0Who will we pray to when even the Lord Jesus Christ is removed from the civilization?<br \/>\n<\/em>______________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Now it can be easily understood why it is so important\u00a0for TPTB\u00a0to take down all the true heroes and real saints among us. \u00a0Next they&#8217;ll be taking down all the saints-in-the-making and virtuous people who still believe in God.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, because the Roman Catholic Church has made some very stupid moves over the centuries, does that make all of their saints bad people? \u00a0Because some of the Vatican papal power-brokers perpetrated some pretty un-Christian acts, does that negate the good works of their many saints?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moral of this story:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t throw the baby out with the bath water, or else there will be no more heroes or saints to look up to. \u00a0The inevitable consequence of such a predicament would be the collapse of the society. \u00a0Is that where the USA is heading?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/?p=15117\">Cosmic Convergence Research Group<\/a><br \/>\nJune 26, 2016<\/p>\n<p>N.B.

AFP PHOTO ROSLAN RAHMAN \/ AFP \/ ROSLAN RAHMAN<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The obsession some atheists have with Mother Teresa borders on the monomaniacal.<\/p>\n<p>Even when I was an atheist I thought it quite absurd whenever comfortable first-world atheists would viciously attack a woman who gave up everything to serve the poor and who lived in abject poverty herself.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that this selfless woman was actually a masochistic, self-obsessed lunatic, who loved to watch the poor suffer originated with Christopher Hitchens, largely considered the founder of the New Atheism movement. In fact, virtually every irrational and over-the-top criticism of Mother Teresa that I have read can be traced back to his obsessive hatred of the Albanian nun.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchens has since passed away (please say a prayer for his soul), but unfortunately his pet theories have not; they pop up on Internet forums all the time.<\/p>\n<p>As Mother Teresa\u2019s canonization date approaches, it is likely that this nonsense will spread. Our era is addicted to shock and outrage, so headlines excoriating Mother Teresa will be irresistible, no matter how false.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here are some common charges atheists make to justify hating Mother Teresa, and some handy responses:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Mother Teresa\u2019s Canonization Is a \u201cFraud\u201d<\/strong>: Christopher Hitchens <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/news_and_politics\/fighting_words\/2003\/10\/mommie_dearest.html\" target=\"_blank\">criticized Mother Teresa\u2019s recognition by the Church<\/a> because the Church sped up her beatification process. He also mocked the idea that a miracle could have come about through Mother Teresa\u2019s intercession.<\/p>\n<p>So? Hitchens <em>was an atheist<\/em>; would he be satisfied with <em>any<\/em> process that canonized Mother Teresa or any other saint? Did he believe in any of the miracles that have been attributed to the intercession of the saints, even those with abundant eyewitnesses, verifications by doctors, etc? The answer is no. So why would it matter to Hitchens (or any other atheist) how quickly Mother Teresa was canonized? Even if it were theoretically true that Mother Teresa was a terrible person, why would an atheist care who the Catholic Church canonizes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Mother Teresa \u201cMismanaged Money\u201d<\/strong>: Mother Teresa\u2019s critics accuse her of mismanaging donations, and as evidence they point to the humble state of the congregation\u2019s homes versus the large donations that are assumed to have been poured into their coffers. Yet no theory is advanced as to exactly how the foundress spent the organization\u2019s money in an unethical way. She certainly <a href=\"http:\/\/motherteresa.org\/03_learn\/pilgrimage-to-Mother-Teresa-tomb.html#5\" target=\"_blank\">did not spend it on herself<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vatican officials <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/web-exclusives\/2013\/04\/mother-teresa-and-her-critics\" target=\"_blank\">confirm that Mother Teresa donated her congregation\u2019s surplus money<\/a> to be dispersed through the many avenues through which the Church helps the poor. In other words, she did not hoard the donations she received just for her order; she <em>shared the wealth<\/em>, which is in keeping with the mission of her organization. Mother Teresa and her sisters are called to minister in a simple way to the poorest of the poor, and if they have extra money it goes to other poor people. I am not sure why this is so offensive unless one is trying to find offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Mother Teresa\u2019s Homes Are \u201cAbusive\u201d<\/strong>: Critics point to what they call <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/politics\/human-rights\/2014\/04\/squalid-truth-behind-legacy-mother-teresa\" target=\"_blank\">deplorable conditions in the homes the sisters run<\/a> \u2014 a charge that betrays how completely they misunderstand the Missionaries of Charity. The sisters <em>join the poverty of the people they serve<\/em>. Their mission is not to build state-of-the-art hospitals, or work for political or social change, which many Catholics do. They provide care for children and adults in the most desperate of situations, people who would otherwise be living and dying on the streets. The sisters themselves live in complete and utter poverty, sleeping on the floor and washing their one habit in buckets and drying them overnight.<\/p>\n<p>This criticism often comes drenched in a mind-set of first-world privilege that has no idea what kind of conditions people experience in third-world countries. It also often comes from critics who don\u2019t bother to spend any amount of prolonged time in these situations \u2014\u00a0more willing to \u201cinvestigate\u201d her homes than actually show up and work alongside the nuns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Mother Teresa Was a \u201cFanatic\u201d Who Enjoyed Suffering<\/strong>: When people point to Mother Teresa\u2019s \u201cfanaticism,\u201d they are usually actually pointing to her living out Christian values. Sure, she did this in an extreme, heroic fashion, but that is why she is a saint. Most of us could benefit from emulating, even slightly, her \u201cfanaticism.\u201d Critics who choose to see her remarks on the \u201cgift\u201d\u00a0of suffering as a newfangled, masochistic theology only reveal a lack of familiarity with a basic Christian idea: that \u2014 as demonstrated by the God-man being unjustly tortured and crucified \u2014 God brings good from evil, and he is present in a special way among the weakest and the poorest of the poor.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t like this message? It\u2019s not Mother Teresa you have a problem with, it\u2019s Christianity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Mother Teresa Was \u201cImperfect\u201d<\/strong>: Critics may disagree with Mother Teresa\u2019s philosophies and actions, but none ever seem to point to concrete evidence of malicious intent on her part, and so the ad hominem arguments end with, \u201cshe wasn\u2019t perfect!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course Mother Teresa <em>was<\/em> imperfect. This we can all agree on, and I am sure the saint would concur. It is said that she went at least every week to confession. She was a woman who knew she was flawed and made mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Canonized saints are not supposed to be cookie-cutter perfect. The lives of countless saints prove that canonization is not a stamp of perfection but a recognition of heroic holiness. And the Church believes Mother Teresa was a holy woman, despite her imperfections.<\/p>\n<p>So why exactly is so much ink spilled in order to criticize Mother Teresa when there are far more unsavory characters in the world? The quest for pageviews and the gratification of blind ideology.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of spiteful hatred comes from hearts that have been darkened to reason and evident goodness by a lack of belief in God.<\/p>\n<p>When one sees a person doing good things because he or she believes in God it is reasonable to attribute that person\u2019s good works to those beliefs (even if one happens to disagree with that belief).<\/p>\n<p>What is unreasonable is to assume that a person doing good works has a dark heart full of violence and self-interest simply because one\u2019s own angry heart cannot begin to understand the Gospel, even theoretically.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/aleteia.org\/2016\/04\/05\/5-responses-to-the-ridiculous-reasons-some-atheists-hate-mother-teresa\/2\/#sthash.EmWxIUs4.dpuf\">http:\/\/aleteia.org\/2016\/04\/05\/5-responses-to-the-ridiculous-reasons-some-atheists-hate-mother-teresa\/2\/#sthash.EmWxIUs4.dpuf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adbladeads\" style=\"display: none;\" data-cid=\"13421-2659202483\" data-host=\"web.adblade.com\" data-tag-type=\"4\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/web.adblade.com\/js\/ads\/async\/show.js\" async=\"\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who and why are the modern heroes being taken down so hard?
