This lent has been a time of adventure and action, in the sense of all the activity surrounding the national debate on health care and other matters. It does not seem at all coincidental, that the first vote on health care took place on Christmas Eve, and now Obama wants the final vote to be done March 18th. There is something very perverse about the timing of all of this, and one has to wonder if there is not some demonic humor involved here, as the so called ‘enlightened and sophisticated’ of society become Lucifer’s ‘useful idiots’ and pass this monstrosity.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has projected that health care will add at least 4-5 trillion dollars onto an already projected 20 trillion dollar debt by 2020. No one knows how or when this debt will ever be paid off and no one even has a plan to do so. Within ten years, our debt will be well over 100% of GDP, and no country, read: NO COUNTRY in the history of the world has ever survived this proportion of debt, and unfortunately, ours will be no exception to this rule. (This is not including the unfunded liabilities of future Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid payments, estimated at 55 Trillion).
The rest of the world is watching in horror, as this wild man in the Oval Office continues to spend money like a crack dealer and utilize his thugs to force those that don’t ‘go along with the program’ to bend to his will. This wild man also wants to spread his erroneous ways to other nations around the world and try to get them to be ‘more like us’, such as the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton pushing for legalized child killing in Brazil. Look no further than the push to mandate health care onto this nation. It takes over virtually one sixth of our economy and nationalizes it. It will force us to pay for legalized child killing through taxes, and essentially force the Christian population into tax evasion to keep God’s commandments.
Are we preparing for this as a nation? Or even as individuals? The test may be soon upon us, and what are we going to do about it? It seems in these times most of the people who call themselves Christians are still asleep at the wheel and not doing anything to prepare themselves or their families for the times that are ready to visit us. The majority still does not want to get involved and are reluctant to take time to even sign an online petition, yet actually go out and protest or make any other concerted effort to make a change in this debate. It will be no large surprise that when events get hotter than what they are, the majority of the clergy and those in the churches will be as lost as those who are more secular, and the Christian will be a very poor witness to the events at hand.
There are those out in society who are attempting to make a difference, and they are coming up against those who want to propagate the gospel of tolerance, comfort and prosperity. It is rather sad that those individuals do not see the snare laid before them, and will haplessly fall into it. Those who seem to have an idea of what is coming are the ones who are looking more foolish by the day, yet, many of these same people have made very accurate calls in the recent past, and are worth at least an ear from those who have a semblance of an interest in knowing what could be next.
One thing we know for sure is the current way of life and political system is numbered. Whether there is a revival, or the money powers finally get their way, major change is on its way, and nearly here. It’s amazing that God has allowed this mess to go on as long as He has, but unfortunately, His silence is being interpreted as implicit acceptance of our unholy and sinful choices. This state of affairs will not go on forever, and the Bible backs this up. This is the time of preparation and for those God loving people out there, it is time to get the job done.
We can ignore all the signs we want, but it doesn’t mean it will go away magically. Too many secular writers, along with many Christian writers are warning us about impending problems. Few are listening, and even fewer are acting on this information. The best minds state that the tidal wave of printed money will bear inflation no later than 18 months out, and the top money guru’s openly discuss US Treasury default by the end of this year. If this occurs, do you really believe the government is going to fund health care, retirement funds, and other financial obligations they promised over the last few generations? Think again.
It is our responsibility to make sure we and our families are in good shape, not some bureaucracy in Washington, D.C. It’s time to take ownership of our lives, and by extension, ownership of the society we live in, and fight for our beliefs and way of life. We need to refocus our efforts, and recommit our lives to the Lord, while there is time.

WRITE TO THE VATICAN OFFICIALS
George Offerman
There is little more than a week until the Vanguard of St. Catherine makes their pilgrimage to the Vatican, to present documentation pertaining to the shortcomings of the Church in American, and this group needs all of the support that the laity is willing to give.
In fact, this past Sunday, Pope Benedict clarified this point by unequivocally stating that the laity is “co-responsible for the Church, not merely as collaborators for the Clergy”. With this mandate, we as laity have been given ‘marching orders’ of sorts, and should be encouraged to contact the Vatican directly, if other channels utilized do not bear fruit. The Clergy will not take us seriously if we do not take our own faith and responsibilities seriously either.
http://www.zenit.org/article-28567?l=english
Below is my letter to the Vatican Officials.
Dear (fill in the name and title here)
May the Peace of Christ be with you and fill your days during this Lenten season.
I am a life long Catholic, and as such, want to address some very distressing and disconcerting issues that have surfaced over the past year. Living in the shadow of the nation’s capitol allows one a certain vantage point when considering the political and religious undercurrents of the nation, and where it may be headed. There have been major shifts in policies coming out of Washington, D.C, that have been very detrimental in matters of faith and Morals in our church, and to be quite frank, the leadership of the Catholic Church has been abysmal at best, and complicit with this evil at worst.
As you may be aware, there are many issues occurring concerning the ongoing scandal and continued violation of Cannon 915 by the Bishops in the Washington Metro Area, as well as other parts of the country, along with the issue of federal funding for Abortion in the health care bill. What you may not be aware of is the fact that the two Virginia Bishops, changed the outcome of a Virginia bill, the proposed personhood amendment, which was defeated in session, due directly to the two Virginia Bishops opposing this amendment. What you also may not be aware of is the fact that an outstanding pro life member of the community had a two day seminar planned during the Annual Right to Life march that lined up speakers and events that were in alignment with magisterial teachings. This event was cancelled due to a complaint from a very liberal newspaper, the National Catholic Reporter.. However, three weeks later, an event that promoted a homosexual agenda, along with pro abortion topics was promoted by the same group and sanctioned by the Archdiocese of Washington.
These are just two examples of many that have occurred in the past year. I beseech you, to allow the representatives of the Vanguard of St. Catherine to meet with you, and give you greater details on these matters. It is of the utmost importance, that our Church be the beacon of light to shine brightly in these dark times, as Christ mandates. These men and women have been in the heart of the battle for our nation’s soul, and have first hand knowledge of the issues and impediments in presenting the teachings of our great Church to this country.
In Jesus Christ our Lord,
George Offerman
I am encouraging all the readers of this site to send faxes, letters and financially support the Vanguard of St. Catherine prayerfully and if possible financially. This is one effort that is worthy of effort and money, as it is being taken directly to the source, and it has the most effect. For further instructions on letters, and to donate, go to:

KEEPING THE FOCUS ON THE FIGHT
George Offerman
This lent has seen its share of struggles in the battle to end legalized child killing, and has enabled those who may be in doubt about the nature of this war the opportunity to see who is on each side. Lent is generally supposed to be a time of reflection, prayer and fasting that results in a deeper awareness of one’s relationship with God, and how to go about expressing one’s faith in that light.
It seems this lent has a different flavor than many in the recent past, and there has been a bombardment of issues that seem surreal, in that they are even occurring. This very well may indicate the stepped up nature of the spiritual warfare that is occurring all around, and needs to be countered at all costs and all means available to the believer. It is time to get the focus back on the causes of our problems.
There are the numerous scandals in the Vatican, which are also a distraction. There is the matter of Archbishop Fisichella and his board now clamoring for his resignation. There is the most recent sex scandal in which a chorister within the Papal household was caught in a homosexual sex ring. Then there is the ongoing scandal concerning whether the church is going to back its own policy in which politicians who back abortion, are banned from receiving Holy Communion, and the subsequent silence in enforcing this.
Then, there are the scandals in our own country. The Bishops themselves are in conflict over the communication issue, and are not enforcing Cannon 915 with any regularity. The Bishops are also not clear on the health care issue, and have been ‘all over the map’ concerning whether to support or reject the government’s efforts to take over such a large part of the private economy. There is little being taught concerning the true church teachings during this time of Lent, and it seems there are more concerns over peripheral issues than core matters of faith and morals.
In the mean time, we are no closer to ending legalized child killing, and matters continue on as if it is of no consequence. Too many distractions, and too much emphasis placed on non sequitor problems, and we now find ourselves in the place of immobilization. Are we really becoming that numbed as Christians and American Citizens? Very little action is taking place, in what should be a time of fasting, praying and preparation. It seems very antithetical for this season, and rather sad at that.
Randal Terry and a group representing the Vanguard of St. Catherine will be making the second trip to Rome, to present material to the Vatican Officials concerning some of the shortcomings of the American Church. We will continue to fast and pray for this group that they be well received and to faithfully advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. We also hope that the message resonates, and some positive actions result from these efforts.
It is not a goal to divide; however, there is a time in which challenges must be brought forth that is clear, and controversial. This is one of those times, when confusion reigns, that those willing to speak courageously for the babies be heard loud and clear. It would be very easy to brush off efforts to address legalized child killing with all of the distractions, but we have to keep in mind which is the most important issue of all the issues, and not allow our message to take back seat to all of the problems out there now.
If nothing else, at least consider assisting their efforts through praying fasting, and if possible, financially, as this trip is being funded out of pocket by these warriors. They will be taking this message to those who have the ability to change the outcome of this battle, and we can show them our support by making a few sacrifices ourselves.

OUR TOPSY TURVY CHURCH
George Offerman
It should come as no surprise to the believer that the Church is giving many mixed messages in the war to end legalized child killing. In reviewing many of the headlines over the past few weeks, it is very apparent that this war is intensifying, and the forces of evil are doing a frontal assault on our faith. It is even sadder to see who some of the players are, and it is at this time we need to really be praying with heart and intensity for them.
There is the scandal within the Pontifical Academy for Life between 6 senior members and Archbishop Fisichella, concerning his statement from last March condemning the Archbishop in Brazil over excommunicating doctors and healthcare workers who performed an abortion on a 9 year old. There have been a series of questionable moves and dictates from the Vatican Secretariat of State that appear to be contradictory concerning matters of faith and morals. There are allegations of a significant number of clergy being involved in satanic worship at the Vatican by a prominent exorcist.
In this country, we have the reincarnation of the hell care bill, and the subsequent rider that will mandate taxpayer funded abortions. Then there is Hillary Clinton who is trying to push legalized child killing onto the Brazilians, who up to this time, have shown some moral restraint and sanity. We have multiple catholic politicians that continue to receive Holy Communion with blood on their hands, and too many Bishops and Cardinals willing to be complicit in this scandal.
With such an increase in intensity of the spiritual battle, one would have to wonder if something very large and ominous is around the corner. God always sends assistance when things seem the bleakest, and its beginning to seem like we are at the midnight hour in our existence here. I know I have heard many state ‘things could always get worse”, and although that may be true, things are really bad now, and it would seem the only thing that can make the current situation much worse would be judgments.
The Church has always been the one institution that has been the keeper of the faith, and moral compass for society. It now seems that it is society and the relativism that goes along with it that is dictating issues of faith and morals to the Church, and the Church is going along with this. When considering prophesy and judgment in the scriptures, it always proceeds the Churches failure to promote the truth and teach unequivocally, which again, is occurring now.
There seems to be a disconnect between what our faith is, versus what is being taught by the Church and the clergy. It is one thing for society to make right wrong, and vice versa, but quite another matter when the Church does it. It is not only scandalous, but it promotes confusion and relativism in areas that ought to be solid and straight forward. When those in charge of the flocks continue to end messages that it is permissible to kill children, and for the same people to present themselves to Holy Communion, they are betraying the clear teachings of the Church. These same individuals, like Archbishop Fisichella, save their harshest criticism for those who actually stand true to the faith, and it again, scandalizes the Church and its teachings.
The more one ponders these things, the more one may wonder how much demonic influence is over the Church, and what should be done to those who betray the clear teachings of the Church. Sadly, it seems that even Rome has bowed to the god of tolerance, as Rome is appearing weak and equivocating on matters of disciplining these individuals. It is time to speak up in matters of faith and morals, or maybe it’s time for judgment.

TROUBLE WITH THE CLERGY?
George Offerman
There is a very disturbing article on the spirit daily website that addresses the possibility of Satanists in the Vatican, and the claim by an exorcist that it goes as high as some of the Cardinals. If true, this scandal would be of such a magnitude, as to make virtually all of the other scandals child’s play in comparison. It sure would also go a long way in explaining why the Church is so silent on many of the critical issues in which it should be taking the lead, such as legalized child killing.
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/spanish_exorcist_addresses_claims_of_satanic_influence_in_vatican/
As well, one should be skeptical to some extent in which such a broad charge is levied against a large group of individuals. But like all things, we are challenged to test them out and discern the evidence presented and always pray for our leadership.
However, what seems to be true, and I have witnessed it first hand is the numbers of clergy who do not believe in the devil, and by extension, demons. There are truly significant repercussions of this belief, and they directly impact the ministry of the clergy who hold these beliefs. Scripture is filled with examples of Jesus casting out demons, and openly refers to Satan, the Devil, Father of lies, etc. so it is difficult to understand either of these positions that deny the devil, or worshiping him.
If we consider the first, that clergy, and possibility that some Cardinals are Satanists, it would require that these individuals totally disregard the scriptures and traditions of nearly 2000 years and embrace the so called mystery religions, with its forbidden knowledge. (Mystery religions and the forbidden knowledge would be several postings by themselves, so I’m just mentioning them here). These individuals would have to have been seduced into this, and Christianity and mystery religions are mutually exclusive. But in a nutshell, these individuals would be worshiping the created versus the creator, and siding with an inferior being, who is a liar and a betrayer.
The implications of this would be lawlessness, as their master would be instructing them to violate the Laws of God on a regular basis. Legalized child killing would be the crown jewel for Satan, and being silent, or actually advocating policies in which to continue this practice would be the order of the day. Propagating their errors would be the most important item on the agenda, as it would ‘normalize’ this activity and condition the population for further draconian changes that their devious master has in mind.
The second group, which does not believe in the devil or demons, in effect, would be really declaring that they do not believe in God as well. Jesus was clear that God is truth, and if Jesus spoke and cast out demons and the Devil, and the clergy deny this, they in effect are calling Jesus a liar, and this would disqualify Jesus as being God. It also calls into question the efficacy of Scripture, and once one can find ‘errors’ in matters of faith and morals, then it would call into question whether Scripture is actually a book to be believed. At that point, one would be able to pick and choose what they believe, if anything and soon chaos will reign. Does this sound like the days we live in?
The implications for this belief, as above, would be lawlessness, but for different reasons. If one believes there is no devil and demons, then by extension, there is no hell, and thus, no condemnation. If this is true, then there is no need for a redeemer, and the whole story of Jesus has no meaning or value, as all of us are going to attain whatever is in the afterlife, and there is no real need to worry about how we live down here. Morals and ethics would then be in the eye of the beholder, and no ones morals would be superior to another’s, and relativism would then reigns. The only judgment would be against those insisting on absolutes, and the authority of the Living God. Behaviors like legalized child killing would be seen as neutral, since there are no penalties for behaviors, and the ethic of tolerance would trump the life of these children.
In both accounts, the devil is absolutely thrilled. The devil wants to be worshiped, and he demands of his people their allegiance, and obedience to his will. His crown jewel is the destruction of God’s most precious creation, that of babies. It is the blood sacrifice in which Satan glorifies himself, and by tricking the two groups, he effectively gets what he wants. When the clergy has a crisis of faith, it necessitates the spreading of this error, and the circle of unbelief gets ever so wider, until it is nearly impossible to resist. It seems we are at this place now, and it will take nothing other than an incredibly strong faith in God, coupled with enough brave souls to put leather into action, and turn this around.

OTHERS ARE SAYING IT TOO
George Offerman
I have written several posts concerning the Wichita organization lead by Troy Newman, and have come under fire for it. There have been many allegations made about me and Randall Terry since that time, mainly made by those who are associated with the Wichita organization. It is becoming more apparent that as more information comes out, and more are beginning to see what this organization is all about, it is becoming obvious that the stealing of the moniker Operation Rescue is motivated by fame and money.
Tom O’Toole has written a provocative piece on this issue, and not only addresses what is seen as an opportunist taking the moniker of another man, but also the false allegations to justify taking the name, and by extension, issues of integrity with Mr. Newman.

In this piece, Mr. O’Toole discusses Mr. Terry’s history in the pro life movement and proposes the question “Is Randall Terry fit for the Pro life movement?” It would seem that as the article progresses on, that Mr. O’Toole comes to the conclusion that most of the charges levied at Mr. Terry, are exaggerated and in some cases, outright lies. Much of what has been alleged by Mr. Terry’s accusers can be dismissed rather easily by anyone taking the time to do an internet search, or talking to those who have Known Mr. Terry for some time, but others are simply personal innuendo’s that have more of the purpose of smearing Mr. Terry‘s reputation, and thus are more difficult to refute.
It appears Mr. O’Toole has no great love for Mr. Newman, and this is obvious by Mr. O’Toole taking a not so subtle shot at Mr. Newman’s “Virtual Protest” in his opening line of the article. Mr. O’Toole unabashedly also calls Mr. Newman and opportunist, and also states Mr. Newman has made patently false allegations against Mr. Terry, while claiming the moral ground of being the new leader of Operation rescue. Mr. O’Toole even goes a step further, and quotes one of his colleagues, Pro life business man Joseph Costello “Why they just didn’t use their own name to fight abortion. The answer is obvious: money. Mr. Terry branded the Operation rescue name, and with it these men are profiting”.
Here we have another pro lifer who has a great deal of credibility calling out the poor behaviors of another so called pro life leader on issues of integrity. If Mr. Newman’s work is so innovative, that it will actually bring about the overturning of Roe and Doe, then why would Mr. Newman need to take the moniker of another man and have to use this to have credibility? I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Costello in that Mr. Newman should stand on his own merits, and call his organization something other than OR. There would be no need to steal Mr. Terry’s identity for credibility, and fundraising matters if Mr. Newman could do this on his own.
The problem here is that Mr. Newman used the Operation Rescue (west) moniker in the beginning of his career, and it was more likely the name association than anything else that garnered Mr. Newman the attention and pro life ‘gigs’ he now has. The organization Mr. Newman operates is nowhere near what Operation Rescue was when Randall Terry was leading. It is obvious by looking at the fruits of both of the organizations, that Mr. Newman is utilizing the name to enhance his credibility rather than he giving credibility to the name.
This is also evidenced in the fact that Mr. Newman finds it necessary to belittle, and in some cases outright lie about Randall Terry. This is very similar to playground behaviors, in which the overmatched child is left with the option of name calling, and threats. If Mr. Newman truly has built an organization of national status, then he should be proud enough to give it a name that reflects HIS efforts, and not that of another.
Mr. Newman takes shots at Mr. Terry, but fails to recognize his own contradictions. Late last year, Mr. Newman sent out a fundraising letter, signed by him, that states he had fears of the organization possibly shutting down for lack of money, and was so broke that “I cannot pay attention”. Within a few weeks, there were press releases sent out stating that this was not the case, and that the MEDIA had ‘misinterpreted’ Mr. Newman’s statements. I don’t know about you, but if I receive a letter from an organization, signed by the president of said organization, I would presume he knows what he is talking about. I would have no interest in donating to an organization in which the president is using ‘double speak’ to accomplish his goals and it appears that is what happened in this case. Mr. Newman used the same tactics on the media and critics as on Mr. Terry, and that begins to reflect the true character of Mr. Newman. It appears he does not see the ‘log’ in his own eyes, but can sure bark up a storm concerning the speck in others.
This, Mr. Newman, is what is causing credibility problems in the Wichita organization. Trashing another’s reputation to uplift your own is very unchristian behavior as well as showing the true poverty of thought and action on the organization’s part. Get out there and actually do something of value, and prove you are the national leader you claim to be. It’s also interesting that others are seeing this behavior as well, and are also calling it what it is: false.

TREACHERY ON CAPITOL HILL
George Offerman
Nancy Pelosi and company seem to be making it abundantly clear that hell care will go through no matter what the ‘people’ really want. Yes, this ultimately may result in changes in both houses come November, but by then, the damage is done. There have been very few laws that have been repealed once signed, and most likely, there will be too much resistance for the next group of politicians to put it on the line, to even put in a half hearted effort at changing it.
There is a small window of opportunity to do something about this, and it is time to put forth the effort to make it happen. Currently, the hell care bill is something fairly shrouded in secrecy, and was forced through both houses without much input, and a chance to read what was in it. Just this morning, a few commentators were making the point that once the bill is passed, the government will then ‘explain’ it to the people and in about 4-5 years, this law will take effect, and we will be stuck with the outcome.
There is a lot of speculation among the health care providers as to why it is being delayed 4-5 years before implementation. Some happen to think that it has the demise of private insurance companies, due to regulations, and cut backs in payments, as already seen in Medicare and Medicaid this year. Cutting reimbursements, coupled with the possibility of capping costs is a ‘double whammy’ that will put nearly all of the private practitioners out of business by then, and would place a horrible economic strain on the public hospital system, as well as larger private institutions. It is very possible that within a few years, these institutions will be begging the Fed’s to bail them out, as hospitals and other healthcare institutions, cannot fail.
If this is true, it will begin to gear the population towards rationing, as more and more private practitioners close their doors, and institutions begin to do the same. The level of care we have become so used to will be a thing of the past, and will open the door for the government to step in and look like the good guy. However, they will only make a broken system even worse, and will be dictating to the health care professionals how to do their jobs, and most likely will impose very stiff penalties for anyone practicing outside the ‘best practices’ recommendations or model that they impose on the health care workers.
Since it is already well known that the Democrats want to include federal funding for legalized child killing, it is not a stretch to say in this culture of death, that some sort of cap will be placed on the general population, that will dictate who is to get what, and what services will be withheld due to economic circumstances. What it comes down to is: money. Nancy Pelosi said as much this past weekend, that “Healthcare is an economic issue, not a political issue”. With the ever increasing debt burden, due to shrinking tax receipts (would we have this problem with an additional 52 million paying taxes?) it is inevitable that costs will have to be contained, and health care is an ever increasing expense on the bottom line for the government. Put two and two together, and one will come up with the very obvious solution to ‘their problem’.
Along with increasing budgetary deficits, and lowered payments to providers, the population is getting older and unhealthier, due mainly to poor lifestyle choices. This ‘trifecta’ of events will culminate in a major crisis, as many of the providers hit the exits and are not replaced by new providers, as the economic incentive for doing this work is now gone. The general population will continue to get fed propaganda, that they deserve the absolute newest and best care. But they will not be able to access it because it will be scarce. There will be tension, as a bottleneck will be created large numbers of consumers attempting to get resources provided by fewer practitioners. This will legitimize the government takeover, and the utopian promises of free and abundant healthcare will be as real as calling the full moon the sun.
Taking over health care is an issue of control. The government wants to control what one gets, and by default, how one lives. If the law states that a mother, for any reason, can kill her child, then it is absolutely no stretch to have a bureaucracy dictate who has rights and accessibility to certain types of care. After all, in the culture of death, it is already clear that those targeted for death are not considered, and others choose for them. In a world of sanity, no one chooses death for themselves, but only in an insane world, do others take this prerogative on themselves, and grant themselves deity status. If these folks want to impose their culture of death onto this nation, they should show some leadership, and make it retroactive on themselves
