Chemical Factory Explodes in France

At least 29 people died when a chemical factory producing artificial fertilizer blew up in Toulouse, France, this week. Presumably the workers made a mistake mixing the chemicals together.

After such an accident, one can simply go back to his daily routine or think about whether this accident also doesn’t want to tell us something.
What does artificial fertilizer do? It stimulates the growth of plants, but does not promote the life of the soil; instead, it hinders it. Due to the unnatural abundance of minerals in the fertilizer, countless micro-organisms are blocked from carrying out their functions and are damaged. The plants may still very well grow and bear fruit, but how long will the soil endure this exploitation?

Of all people, the chemist Justus von Liebig, the inventor of artificial fertilizer was remorseful already during his lifetime over his discovery and advised against driving the natural cycle of life to maximum performance by unnatural means. In the long run, this could only result in ruining the soil and leading to famine.

But right up until today, this warning has hardly been made known. Will we go back to our daily routines this time, too?

Admission of Guilt after over 25 years
Church Pay ca. 45 million $ to Abused Mass Servers

The Catholic Church in Oregon, USA has said it is prepared to pay compensation in the sum of ca. 45 million dollars to mass servers who were sexually abused by a priest from its ranks over a period of 20 years. The meanwhile 80-year old cleric voluntarily confessed to having sexually assaulted the servers over and over again before and after mass from 1955 to 1975.

The real scandal: Had the priest not decided to ease his conscience, right up until today, the deeds would not be atoned for. Complaints from the parents in 1974 were dismissed as “idle gossip” and as “slander against the Catholic faith.” The priest was simply transferred to another parish.

Italy:
Church Conceals Priest Who Committed Genocide

The Catholic Church in Italy is concealing a Ruandan priest who is being sought for mass murder. Father Athanase Seromba appeared in July 2001 in his church San Mauro a Signa in Florence, where, as previously announced, he wanted to explain why the Ruandan UN Tribunal was seeking him. Instead, another priest appeared to explain that Seromba would remain in hiding, to “protect himself from reporters.”

The 2000 Tutsi, who had fled into his church in Nyange in Ruanda during April, 1994, seeking protection from the machetes of the Hutu, did not receive protection. On the contrary, according to research by the organization “African Rights” Seromba supposedly gave the order to flatten the church, together with the refugees, with a bulldozer. He is said to have personally shot fleeing Tutsi.

Religion Class in Baden-Württenburg
The Church wants to collect even more money from the State

The Protestant Lutheran Church in Baden-Württenburg, Germany, is complaining that it does not receive enough money from the government for religion classes. It says the state is obligated to finance religion classes in public schools by 100%, but is paying only 28%.

Be that as it may, it is a scandal that the state – and this means every taxpayer, regardless of faith – finances the dissemination of the belief of the mainstream churches in its schools. That the present amount of money is not enough for the incredibly rich churches, that in this era of chronically empty state coffers it demands even more – shows its attitude: More, ever more, for me; I am indifferent to others.

Brandenburg
Millions of state funds for the glorification of the Murder of Jews

Was the wool pulled over his eyes? Or is he draping the cloak of awkward silence over it all? At the foundation supporting the monastery of the Holy Grave near Pritzwalk in Brandenburg, German President Johannes Rau, known for his pious quotes from the Bible, was informed about “The history, task and future plans” of the monastery. This included the fact that already over 6 million DM from national and state funds as well as from the German Foundation for Protection of Monuments have flowed into the renovation of the monastery. Total costs are estimated at 30 million.

A surprising blunder: An essential part of the monastery facility, the “Blood Chapel”, was built in 1512 after a pogrom against the Jews living in Berlin, who were all killed in the action. They were tortured, having “admitted” to having “slaughtered” Christian children for ritual purposes. All Jews were then driven out of the electorate; their assets were seized, and among other things, used for building the splendid “Miracle Chapel.”

Apparently no indication of this bloody history is planned in the renovation. How would it be if the state were to use only a fragment of this money in order to build a monument to the victims of the Church, for instance, in the middle of Berlin in front of the Church of Mother Mary, where the Jews were burned at that time?
