2. Pope Francis: Humanity Must ‘Rethink’ Role of Nation-State in Globalized World

Since globalization has “deeply altered the previous international order,” Pope Francis said Friday, humanity must rethink “the figure and the role of the nation-state” in this new world order.

“The State cannot be conceived of as the sole and exclusive guardian of the common good,” the Pope told participants in a workshop organized by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, “not allowing intermediate bodies of civil society to express, in freedom, their full potential.”

 

“This would this be a violation of the principle of subsidiarity which, combined with that of solidarity, constitutes a cornerstone of the social doctrine of the Church,” he said.

3. Bank of England Too White and Male, Says Treasury Select Committee

(As Milo says, once an institution turns from merit to identity politics, you can make a fortune short selling. If the BoE actually acts on this crap, anyone who shorts their stock can make a fortune.)

Chancellor Philip Hammond could be grilled by MPs on why many of the Bank of England’s senior staff are white and male.

The chair of the Treasury Select Committee, Nicky Morgan MP, has written to Mr. Hammond to demand more is done to address the perceived lack of “diversity” among applicants for roles on the Bank’s policy committees.

 

“The Treasury must make all efforts to encourage as diverse range of candidates for the Bank’s policy committees as possible,” Ms. Morgan wrote, according to The Guardian.

 

“We have approved both appointments,” she said in the letter. “However, in considering these appointments, the committee discussed its wider concerns about the composition of the policy committees, and in particular about diversity at the most senior levels of the Bank of England.

4. And now, a headline you NEVER thought you’d read: Despot Robert Mugabe is appointed a ‘GOODWILL ambassador’ by the World Health Organisation – after life expectancy in Zimbabwe plummets under him

Robert Mugabe has been controversially appointed as health ambassador for the World Health Organisation.

The 93-year-old president of Zimbabwe – who oversaw plummeting life expectancy in his own country – will supposedly co-ordinate the United Nations organisation’s battle against heart disease, cancer and diabetes across Africa.

 

The role – which comes with the title of ‘WHO goodwill ambassador’ – will be to encourage African governments to introduce policies to reduce smoking and drinking, improve diets and increase exercise.

 

Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe’s foreign affairs minister, said the appointment was a ‘major diplomacy coup’ for the country and claimed Mugabe is ‘very passionate about non-communicable diseases’.

A rape and sexual assault complaint was filed on Friday in France against Swiss Islamist and Professor Tariq Ramadan by a former Salafist Henda Ayari

The complaint filed with the Rouen prosecutor’s office in northwestern France, by the Salafist turned secular activist, detailed criminal acts of rape, sexual assault, violence, harassment and intimidation, according to document reviewed by AFP.

 

The Liberators Association, which Henda Ayari is president of, said on Facebook that she was “a victim of something very serious several years ago” but did not reveal the name of her aggressor for safety reasons.

Thank you Xanthippa, M., Wrath of Khan, EB., Sassy, Richard, Kathy, Gates of Vienna, from whence I got the Lewis quote and all who took the time and effort to inform us all.

Posting was a bit light as it takes time to get to locations, film interviews and edit them. So thank you all doubly for keeping the fires during at home in the comments.

“One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting.”

– C.S. Lewis

      • The Church has survived bad Popes. It’ll survive this Manchurian Pope.
        The critical question is:
        How many of the_ faithful_ will survive?

  1. 2- What pure, putrid, nonsensical utter invention.

    When the sun sets and the stars come out are the stars new? Are they something that did not exist in the day? No. They were there all along, but it took the absence of light to make them visible.

    Nationalism has not set upon us in a new virulent strain. In fact it is likely weaker than it was 20 years ago. But when juxtaposed with voices that want NO more countries, and one world government it is set in relief like stars in the night sky.

    And the light truly seems to be draining from our day when communist revolutionaries like the Pope are not widely condemned.

  2. 3- Second-rate economists handling the public purse. That’s like hiring Janet Yellen to remove your tonsils. She may not be qualified but at least economists are evenly represented in surgery.

  3. According to reliable sources anti-Trump diatribes by teachers in the public school system are common. Students are being brainwashed and politicized to the far left. To state a belief in the traditional nuclear family unit, for example, will have a student reported to management because the extrapolation is one of homophobia. A Communist club gets many subscribers. Radical students query others for their stances on various subjects. Wrong responses can get you reported again. Much like in the political spectrum, reasonable, moderate social conservativism has been abolished. The Left brands any different opinion as EXTREME. Any national flag waved is FAR-RIGHT NATIONALISM. Any mumble from a suspicious character is a NAZI. If you are not a sheep you must be a wolf. There are no other options in this animal kingdom.
