Oh, wow. Oh, wow. (http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-nightclub-shooting/index.html)
Guy, likely a radical Muslim as the news suggests, goes to a nightclub and kills 50 and injures 53. Horrific. Prayers for the deceased.
This is coming barely 24 hours after another shooting in which a mildly-famous pop singer was gunned down by a rabid man.

2 back-to-back high-profile shootings in a populous city in the middle of a must-have electoral swing-state in an election year with a win-at-any-cost gun-grabber at the top of the ticket. Anybody else find that suspicious? Plus the hate crime element and garnering sympathy for "equality" because, if you noticed, it was at a fag bar.

I literally just posted this. Anyway, it was a fαɢɢօt bar, so they'll garner no sympathy from me. God's work can be done even through the heathens, apparently.

This puts major fuel in the fire for the "ban all Muslims" crowd with the assailant revealed to be a jihadist.
When will Muslims realize that their religion is the problem, a cancer on Western society and objectively worthless? **** with those people who think "all religions are true". Hippie bull if I ever heard it.

I wonder if Francis made it to "call to prayer" today.

Swing state, faithful muzzie. It can't hurt.

This may have just bought Trump the presidency.
Oh, no kidding. That's what I thought the instant I heard "radical Muslim" being used to describe the shooter.

First off, All loyal Catholics whom treasure the salvation of their souls from
going to Hell would avoid all near occasions of sin such as this gαy night
club that promotes lifestyles that calls to Heaven for vengeance.
I bet this will prove that this was a organized fαℓѕє fℓαg event so Obama
can leave a legacy to take all the guns from the lawful abiding Americans.
The criminals can keep theirs. When I saw a video taken from the skies showing the night club. There
were the absent of ambulances in the parking lot.
Nearby is a hospital.

Florida's not as important as it once was, for Democrats at least. Obama would have still won both times even if he lost Florida.

I wonder how many Novus Ordo priests were there conducting some "New Evangelization".

I hope that at least some of those who died repented and were saved though I doubt it because I think anyone who would go to such a place would be a very serious sinner unlikely to repent.

During the war there was a saying, "there are no atheists in the trenches".
This can be updated to include in sinking ships, downing planes or mass shootings.
Though many might have been serious sinners, something like this might have been scarey enough for them to repent. I'm praying at least a few of them did.

There is an article now on yahoo news entitled Homeland Security-Imam
speaking in Orlando said that gαys should be killed out of 'compassion'
The article that followed did not give anymore info that came from the
title.
Meanwhile, Obama is bringing in thousands of Muslims refugees sometime
using empty UPS planes.

I bet international Jewry will use this massacre to further advance the perverse "gαy" agenda, making the sodomites to continue glorying in their victim status and the emotion - ridden masses feeling sorry for them and supporting the revolting vice.
Silly liberals will also be making use of this, in their anti-gun campaign. Blaming not the shooter (or Islam), but the gun.
At the same time, millions of Christians are being massacred around the world and babies murdered by the millions in the womb but the Jew-owned media do not cover this. We will be hearing about this anti-sodomite "hate" crime for months though and it will pass to history. It will be another political way to silence and persecute any "hateful" organization. The Roman Catholic Church included.

It wasn't as if he had to begin his decision process by being awakened by a frantic middle-of-night call. News of the death-toll from "the most deadly shooting in American history" began to be reported ca. 10 a.m. EDT, corresponding to midafternoon in Vatican City, so at least he had the advantage of weighing his publicity options while being wide awake. I wouldn't be at all shocked if I were to learn that "Pope Francis" received his initial notification from close friends in the U.S. Novus Ordo lavender mafia. Some might even have been vactioning at the notorious "gαy Days" in Orlando, which originated in annual preannounced single weeks of officially unofficial gatherings focused on--but not limited to--Disney World.
In particular, the site of the incident, which is a nightclub in a repurposed building south of downtown Orlando, promotes itself thus on its Web site[×]:
The hottest gαy bar in Orlando, Pulse [nightclub] offers live entertainment, tantalizing libations and three unique rooms for an unforgettable night of fun and fantasy.
Sooo, no!, this absolutely is not an incident terrorism that "could have happened anywhere" in the U.S.A.
I'd heard from a family member who's been glued to the live obsessively running t.v. news for hours, that "Pope Francis" sent a message of condolence, but I haven't yet heard any confirmation via 1 of the local news-radio, never mind useful details. No confirmation on <http://www.news.va/en>, neither.

Not enough rubber gloves to take care of all the blood and mess! Can you imagine being an emt and told where you are to go. Boy! that would make me cringe!

The purpose of this psyops is to condition the TV viewing public to be more
sensitive towards ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs. Already Donald Trump and Governor
Abbot of Texas are already being called down by the media because
their remarks considered by them insensitive and lack human compassion.
In turn, the effects on the viewing public is to become more sensitive
and compassionate and accepting of the gαy life style.
This is the same psychology that worked very well during the civil rights
revolution of the 1960's.

Not enough rubber gloves to take care of all the blood and mess!
Not only disposable medical gloves, but also surgical masks. Considering the blood that seems likely to have been splattered by the weapons used by that Muslim terrorist, from a disproportionately high number of sodomite victims in a smallish confined volume of air, I wonder if that created a significant medical risk of inhaling enough aerosolized HIV/AIDS-infected blood to infect anyone who enters the building after the terrorist episode.
Can you imagine being an  emt  EMT and told where you are to go.  Boy! that would make me cringe!
For readers outside the U.S.A. who don't recognize the focus of the sentence, with its reference obscured by the absence of proper capitalization for an abbreviation in English, is to Emergency Medical Technicians. They're the folks whose job includes arriving via ambulances (altho' many arriving from nearby unincorporated portions of Orange Co. (Fla.) would also have arrived in fire-dept. vehicles) to provide emergency medical assistance. None of them are squeamish folks: The job of an EMT requires conditioning to be able to perform it on grotesquely mangled bodies (e.g.: at the scene of vehicle collisions).
I suspect that to cringe would be the least possible negative reaction. The response of many sensible EMTs might be literally more visceral--to vomit. None of them are squeamish folks: The job of an EMT is one that requires conditioning to be able to perform it on grotesquely mangled bloody bodies (e.g.: at the scene of vehicle collisions).
Anyone whose job required them to appear on the scene of that newsworthy emergency are arguably the people who are most deserving of our prayers. Especially that none of them become infected with HIV/AIDS as a result.

12/06/2016 19:22SHARE:
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis is shaken and saddened by the ‘homicidal folly and senseless hatred’ that has left at least 50 people dead in an attack on a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
A statement released by the Holy See Press Office Director, Father Federico Lombardi SJ, on the Orlando massacre which has been described as the worst mass shooting in American history.
Please find below Vatican Radio’s translation of the statement:
The terrible massacre that has taken place in Orlando, with its dreadfully high number of innocent victims, has caused in Pope Francis, and in all of us, the deepest feelings of horror and condemnation, of pain and turmoil before this new manifestation of homicidal folly and senseless hatred. Pope Francis joins the families of the victims and all of the injured in prayer and in compassion. Sharing in their indescribable suffering he entrusts them to the Lord so they may find comfort. We all hope that ways may be found, as soon as possible, to effectively identify and contrast the causes of such terrible and absurd violence which so deeply upsets the desire for peace of the American people and of the whole of humanity.
As others have already said here, why don't we hear such language addressing the heinous, hideous, worldwide genocide known as "abortion?"
So long as abortion and the conspicuous heresy of the 21st century persist (giving obeisance to, or actively promoting the sin of Sodom in popular culture), the world continues to call down the wrath of God. These are two of the 4 sins that cry to heaven for vengeance, and God has said, "Vengeance is Mine."
Why is the sin of Sodom one that cries down vengeance from heaven?
It is the innocent victims of the children whose innocence is attacked by Sodomy, and their innocence cries for vengeance from heaven, since no one on earth can adequately defend the violation of their right to innocence.
I have heard a number of radio programs in the past day addressing this massacre, all of which (with the exception of Catholic Radio, Immaculate Heart Radio) support the sin of Sodom and the so-called right of those 350 attendees at the Pulse Club in Orlando to gather and revel in their prurient interest. One such program had two men discussing the topic, when one described a scene where he recently took his young son to a clothing store where they were assisted by a man "presenting himself as a woman." The father said nothing about that while in the presence of the salesperson, but later when they were alone, he asked his son, who was about 9, if he knew what a transgender person is and his son casually replied, "Yeah." Then his father asked him if he was aware that the salesperson who had helped them was a transgender man, dressed as a woman, and his son again replied curtly that he did. When his father questioned him again, the son replied by asking why his father thinks it's a big deal.
The point of the discussion was to express his observation that we now have a generation of children growing up who do not look at ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity as anything worth being concerned about, and that they do not understand why their parents are worried about it. My impression of this is to say that what they are describing is the LOSS OF INNOCENCE of an entire generation.
If you homeschool your children they have at least some chance of keeping their innocence intact, but when they go out into the world they are going to be face-to-face with their own generation who will look down on them as being "cretins" or "throwbacks" or somehow substandard for harboring such "judgmental" views about how OTHER PEOPLE LIVE.
They will be criticized for believing that the private behavior of others has any bearing on their own life. This is because they do not understand that the sin of Sodom is a crime against all of humanity and that if it is allowed to fester and increase, which it WILL DO if left to our own fallen nature, it will eventually reach a point where God will be left to intervene as He has done in the past (the Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is but one example but a most striking one -- there is a prophesy that says God will destroy the world by FIRE but He has promised to never again destroy the world by FLOOD).
[---FWIW I know the sentence from the Vatican is false where it says "... has caused in Pope Francis, and in all of us, the deepest feelings of horror and condemnation, of pain and turmoil...", because I know there are people who take no such view of this event and have said that they were actually not saddened at all by the news. They think the "gαys" merely got what was coming to them. To be clear, I do not share their view, but I thought it may be of interest to repeat it for sake of discussion here. They say that even those present among the 350 attendees who were not ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs and perhaps some of those were killed, were there "in the near occasion of sin" by being present among the openly ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ revelers, and thereby made themselves vulnerable to whatever might happen as a result, not necessarily a shooting or any other such violence, but in the very least, leaving themselves open to committing sin in their heart by being witness to depravity all around them.---]

I'd heard [...], that "Pope Francis" sent a message of condolence, but I haven't yet heard any confirmation via [either] 1 of the local news-radio [stations][...].
And still haven't heard any such thing, despite trying both stations with signals that're usefully strong enough for broadcasting that format.
No confirmation on <http://www.news.va/en>, neither.

The release failed to include any words of admonition that a traditional Catholic might consider entirely appropriate, e.g.: "Survivors should thank God for granting each a second chance to accept His grace, so that they repent of those unnatural and grievous sins that cry out to heaven, and mend their ways permanently." Of course, I'm shocked--just shocked--at the omission.

I hope that at least some of those who died repented and were saved though I doubt it because I think anyone who would go to such a place would be a very serious sinner unlikely to repent.
I share your hope, but from what I have heard, there has been no published evidence of any such conversions. Of course, if there had been any, the MSM no doubt would not have reported it because it doesn't fit their criteria for relevant news.
As the 3 hours passed with the active shooter taking 'hostages' (for what reason, who knows?) some of them sent text messages to family and friends. One such message was from a 30-year old man holed up in the restroom, to his mother, saying, "Mommy, I love you. He's in here with us and he is coming this way. I am going to die."
It seems to me that those who died quickly were in such shock that they could not have been thinking clearly, and those who died slowly may have had more of a chance, but how would they have been thinking of their own sin at such a time? I have not heard if any Catholic priests have been allowed to assist the dying!! Popular culture, in which they were immersed, says nothing of personal responsibility for sin nor gives any message of repentance. They are totally stuck in a social milieu that says to follow your urges and to worship your passions, and how you FEEL is all that's important.
Here is a shocker for you. I heard a radio announcer say that anyone who has already decided to have their own opinion on this event, without having spoken to anyone from the gαy community or from the transgender community is making a big mistake, because "That is the definition of ignorance."
IOW ignorance is defined by not allowing popular opinion to sway your own understanding of the truth. IOW there is no objective truth. IOW all truth is relative. IOW all truth is subjective.

Words of sorrow and condolence poured from spiritual leaders around the region on Sunday. "A sword has pierced the heart of our city," Bishop John Noonan of the Catholic Diocese of Orlando, wrote in a message to the city's religious leaders. Noonan was at an out-of-state bishops' conference but changed his travel plans so he could return to Orlando to hold a prayer service — he called it a "Vigil to Dry Tears" — at St. James Cathedral in downtown Orlando at 7 p.m.
Bishop Noonan to lead Prayer Vigil tonight at 7 pm at St. James Cathedral
Join us for a ecuмenical prayer service for all who are affected by tragic shooting in Orlando and to show solidarity for our brothers and sisters.
Noonan is a native son of Limerick, Ireland, albeit one of the modernist persuasion. So he received Novus Ordo orders, thus of dubious validity, his "priesthood" conferred in September 1983, then his (auxiliary) "episcopacy" conferred by the disgraceful Abp. Favalora- of Miami, per appointment by "Benedict" Ratzinger in August 2005.
The also-native Irish former pastor of the preVatican-II St. James Church, who passed to his eternal reward only a few years ago, must be rotating in his grave as I type this. How times have changed!

A biography of Pope St. Pius V describes. . .
'One of the first blows Pius V dealt to vice was to banish men and women of light morals from the city. Those underestimating the Pope's resoluteness by appealing for such a surprising and drastic measure to be revoked were told that, on the contrary, rather than so much as appear to allow licentiousness of any kind in the holy city and capital of Christendom, he would transfer his court elsewhere.
Courtesans and prostitutes were given as alternative to banishment marriage or being put to live in a penitential institute. Some, accepting banishment, were killed by highwaymen. A number voluntarily reformed their lives and returned to the practice of their religion. But so deep-rooted was the evil that Pius had to counter it all through his reign. He had this reform much at heart and later persuaded a group of virtuous women to devote themselves wholly to the difficult work. Generous aid of every kind was provided for those who converted to a better way of living.
Grieved and indignant over the practice of adultery in Rome, Pius V could hardly be prevented from instituting the death penalty for it; but he had culprits publicly punished irrespective of their position: A nobleman was sentenced to life imprisonment, a well known banker to flogging.
The penalty for sodomy was burning.
Disreputable taverns were closed, despite the plea that this was bad for business. To all criticism of such kind Pius replied that the good of souls must come before considerations of revenue.'

That, I wish I knew. The overwhelming majority, 99.99999% of all gun owners on Earth, are not Salafist radical Muzzies who go into a nightclub and kill 50 people. Nor would ever.
Your average gun owner is simply trying to defend himself or his family with a very clear and very deserved right to own his weapon.

ISLAM: The West, Irreconcilable Conflict?

Islam & the West: Irreconcilable Conflict?
Monday - June 13, 2016 at 9:22 pm
On Saturday night, Omar Mateen was a loner and a loser.
Sunday, he was immortal, by his standards, a hero. Mateen had ended his life in a blaze of gunfire and glory. Now everybody knew his name.
He had been embraced by ISIS. His face was on every TV screen. His 911 call to Orlando police identifying with the Islamic State and the Tsarnaev brothers of the Boston Marathon massacre was being heard across America.
He was being called the most successful Islamist terrorist since 9/11. A hater of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, Mateen had, all alone, massacred more than four dozen patrons at a gαy Florida nightclub, wounded 53, and driven deeper the wedges breaking up America. When it was learned that he used an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, America’s gun wars were reignited.
And make no mistake. There are out there in society some few looking at what Mateen did, and how he left this world, not in revulsion and disgust but admiration and awe.
Omar Mateen will not lack for emulators. While we see him as a sick and crazed mass murderer, some will see him, as he surely saw himself, as a warrior for Islam and Muslim martyr who earned paradise.
Yet, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama seemed either unable to recognize the roots of Mateen’s malice, or they were inhibited from identifying those roots by the commands of political correctness.
The president called this “an act of hate,” but declined to name the source of the hatred or motive for the massacre.
Where did Omar Mateen learn to hate not just ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity but the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs themselves? Where did he come to believe that they deserved to die and he had a right to kill them?
Where might he have gotten such ideas? Who teaches this?
Well, not only do the Taliban and ISIS hurl ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs off buildings and stone them to death but 10 nations — Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Yemen and Pakistan — impose the death penalty for ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ acts.
Peoples of these nations approve, for such laws find sanction in the holy book, the Quran. Sharia teaches that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is a vile form of fornication, punishable by death.
Clinton declared that we must redouble our efforts to work with “our allies and partners” to go after international terror groups.
Did she have in mind the Saudis and Gulf Arabs?
For they have on their books laws calling for beheading the same sort of people Mateen shot to death at the Pulse club in Orlando, and for the same reason — what it is they do.
A co-worker said Mateen had an abiding rage over the behavior of American women. Where did Mateen get that idea?
After San Bernardino, where an ISIS-adoring Pakistani woman and her husband perpetrated a massacre, Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, until they could be better vetted, and we “can figure out what the hell is going on,”
This was regarded as quintessentially un-American.
But “refugees” from the Syrian war have been found abetting Islamist atrocities in Paris. Terror cells containing “refugees” from Syria’s cινιℓ ωαr have been discovered in Angela Merkel’s Germany.
We are learning that second-generation Muslims like Mateen seem susceptible to Islamist imams preaching terror against the West to advance the restoration of the caliphate.
Does this not suggest a pause, and a long hard look before we continue with a policy of warmly welcoming all refugees fleeing the half-dozen wars roiling the Islamic world?
After World War II, we vetted German and East European migrants to ensure they were not fleeing nαzιs or Soviet saboteurs or spies.
No one seemed to regard that as outrageous.
Devout Muslims believe there is “no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his Prophet.” Logically then, Muslim nations reject a “First Amendment” in their own societies that would protect a right of Christians to convert Muslims, or any “freedom of speech” that permits the mockery of Muhammad.
The iconoclasts at Charlie Hebdo learned that the penalty for blasphemy against Islam or insulting the prophet can be severe.
“East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat.”
So wrote Kipling. Islam, not only in its extremist forms but in its pure form, is incompatible with modern Western democracy.
And the conflict appears irreconcilable.
The policy that should result from this reality is that while we fight side-by-side to annihilate our common enemies, ISIS and al-Qaida, the West should give up the idea of democratization and secularization of the Islamic world.
And those who believe Islam is the one true faith, to which all of mankind must eventually submit, should be told that they are welcome as visitors — but not as immigrants. For that would ensure endless conflict.
The more Islamic the West becomes, the less it remains the West.
