The English Church that runs the reformatory that sends children into foreign slavery says the boys should not be returned to parents who sweat them (work them too hard).

World War II didn't diminish mans desire for war

1940  

Spain although technically neutral, backed the German cause.  Romania had to yield Bessarabia and northern Bukovina in June.  Benito Mussolini Il Duce (1883-1945) dictator of Italy entered the war June 10, 1940 against France and Britain.  Rome however remained an open city due to the efforts of Pope Pius XII (1939-1958).  He still considered Communism more dangerous than Nazism or Fascism but did not endorse Adolf Hitler's attack on Russia.

Robert Ritter publishes a report in which he states that "we have been able to establish that more than 90% of the so-called 'native' [i.e. German-born] Gypsies are of mixed blood ... Furthermore, the results of our investigations have allowed us to characterize the Gypsies as being a people of entirely primitive ethnological origins, whose mental backwardness makes them incapable of real social adaptation ... The Gypsy question can only be solved when the main body of asocial and worthless Gypsy individuals of mixed blood is collected together in large labor camps and kept working there, and when the further breeding of this population of mixed blood is permanently stopped."

The French government opens internment camps for nomads.

In Austria, internment camps are built at Maxglan, Slazburg, and Lackenbach.

At Buchenwald, 250 Gypsy (Romani) children are used as guinea-pigs to test the Zyklon-B gas crystals. 

Heinrich Himmler, the head of Hitler's Secret Police, is obsessed with the history of the Roman Catholic Church sponsored witch hunts. He compiled a list of 33,846 Germans who were burned as witches. He said, "The witch-hunting cost the German people hundreds of thousands of mothers and women, who were cruelly tortured and executed.

June 24:  France falls to Germany leaving Britain and the Commonwealth allies to stop the Nazi.  The Greeks are with the allies but falls in 1941. 

1941  

The Chinese drought of 1941 resulted in 3 million deaths.

In Poland, a Gypsy camp is set up in the Jewish ghetto of Lodz for 5.000 inmates.

In Croatia, the Jasenovac concentration camp is opened.

In Serbia, the German Military Command orders that all Gypsies will be treated as Jews. In November, it further orders the immediate arrest of all Gypsies and Jews, who are to be held as hostages.

All Sinti Gypsy families living in the Volga Republic are deported to Kazakhstan.

Japan occupies Indo-china.

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) issued his Juden-Frei (Free of Jews) by 1942.

Anti Pavelic, the militant Catholic who is killing 500,000 Croatian Jews, Serbs and Gypsies, had a private audience in late April with Pope Pius XII (1939-1958).  His audience was guaranteed because he had forcibly converted ten thousand Serbian Orthodox to Christianity under penalty of death.  The Church's traditional thinking of the end justifying the means is still held as a value.  The British, however, reacted with outrage at the reception, by this Pope, of a known terrorist and murderer.  They described Pius XII (1939-1958) as the greatest moral coward of our age.  The Holy Father would again receive Pavelic in May, 1943 when there could be no doubt of the magnitude of the atrocities being committed.  The Pope would continuously turn away countless victims and remain silent concerning German and Italian allied atrocities.

April:  The Germans invaded Yugoslavia that is carved up between Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria.  The Croat-Slav are a Catholic oriented fascist group who outdid the Nazis in the ferocity of their racial purification measures against Jews, Gypsies and Serbs-Slav.  The Serbs are Orthodox Christians with emotional ties to Russia and Greece.  June 22, German invaded Russia and the Russians entered the war causing a turning point in the war.  German occupied Greece until 1944 and future Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) worked to prevent deportation of Jews.

July:   In  Jedwabne, Poland, hundreds of Polish Jews were rounded up by their Polish Christian  neighbors, put in a barn and burned to death.

July 10:   Jedwabne, Poland 1,600 Jews are murdered by Poles and not Nazi troops as a result of the Roman Catholic Church fuelling anti-Semitic fervor or so says the Jews.  The Roman Church led by Cardinal Jozef Glemp and 100 Bishops May 3, 2001 finally accept responsibility for this sin of the Church and issued a public apology.

In September, an SS Task Force carries out mass executions of Roma and Jews in the Baby Yar valley of the Ukraine.

In Yugoslavia in October, the German army executes 2.100 Jewish and Gypsy hostages as reprisal for soldiers killed by partisans. 

December 25:  Hong Kong was captured by Japan who occupied it until August 15, 1945.  Some estimate that as many as 10,000 women were raped in the first few days after Hong Kong's capture and large number of suspected dissidents were executed.  Hong Kong residents called the capture Black Christmas.  

1942  

Heinrich Himmler issues the order to deport the Gypsies in Greater Germany to the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

In Poland, all Gypsies from the Lodz ghtetto are transported and gassed at Chelmo. 

The Navel Battle of Midway sees a major victory for USA over Japan.

The United States Government and the Red Cross are aware of the Germans intent of genocide against the Jews.

Ethiopa a Muslim dominated country at 32.8% Muslim abolished the slave trade but the keeping of slaves mostly concubines was retained.

Jewish refugees attempting to escape German persecution were systematically robbed, beaten and abused by Swiss police. Between 1940 and 1945, the Swiss authorities turned more than 24,000 Jewish refugees over to the Germans and certain death. Studies have confirmed the Swiss were in full knowledge of the danger that threatened the returning Jews. This year the Swiss authorities, with full knowledge of the Nazi death camps, closed the border to those who sought refuge, solely on racial grounds. The border would not be opened again until July 1944.  

July 1:   The British Broadcasting Company broadcast a French account of seven hundred thousand Jews massacred.  Many don't believe these accounts as the Germans are Roman Catholic and the Holy Catholic Church remains silent. 

1943 

The Bengal famine of 1943 in India resulted in 4 million deaths, some suggest it was 1.5 to 3 million deaths..

The Vietnamese War Famine (1943-1945) resulted in 2 million deaths.

Pius XII (1939-1958) deplored the Allies demand at Casablanca in January 1943 for the unconditional surrender of Germany.  It is noteworthy the Pius XII was the nuncio to the German Republic in 1920 and established the concordat with nazi Germany in 1933.  Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) an Austrian, occupied Rome September 1943.  This pope is still criticized for not speaking out against cynically planned world domination and genocide by Germany.

Nazi leader Himmler orders all Gypsy camps closed, resulting in the liquidation of the Gypsy (Romani) prisoners.

The bigoted reality behind the secret report of the Easter 1943 Bermuda Conference is that not a single Western Allied Nation wanted to let the Jews settle in their country.  The unspoken consensus is that it is better to let Hitler (1889-1945) handle them than arrange a mass evacuation to America, Britain or Canada.  In short the Jews are expendable to the war effort.  The Vatican's shocking silence towards the Jews is in full accord with this Western Policy or the Western Policy is in full accord with Church Policy.

September 8:   Italy surrenders to the Allies but the Germans and Fascist supporters continue to fight. 

1944  

The Dutch famine of 1944 resulted in 18 thousand deaths.

To prevent retaliation against the Germans or Italians Pius XII (1939-1958) condemned the historic church dogma of collective guilt.  Examples are original sin and the condemnation of all Jews as killers of Christ.  Future Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) is appointed to France to prevent retaliation against the many bishops who collaborated with nazi Germany.

Greek civil war begins.

Bestiality and homosexuality is made legal in Sweden.

Few people realize that Winston Churchill was a Metis, his mother Jennie Jerome of NY who married Randolph Churchill was 1/8 Iroquois and to this she ascribed her exuberant energy.

Following the liberation of Belgium, 242 Nazi collaborators are executed and 57,000 others are convicted of collaboration.  About 100,000 people are banned from public service jobs.

During the war the Catholic Croat Ustashi, in league with the German Catholics and Italian Catholics, persecuted the Greek Orthodox Serbs. Their slogan was: "Convert a third, expel a third and kill a third". It is estimated that 300,000 Serbs may have been massacred.

March:   The Vatican Information Service is created and in March, 1944 the American's are convinced that clandestine activities are taking place and order its curtailment.  The Americans are correct, as the Vatican would turn into a major intelligence force after the war.  Bishop Alois Hudal is driving around Rome, proudly flying a Greater Germany flag on his car.  But when the Allies arrived in the Italian capital in June, Hudal is the first to change it.  Suddenly his flag is Austrian.   Adolf Eichmann prepared his last major extermination operation in 1944 of Hungary's 800,000 Jews.  Urgent appeals were made on two occasions, by the Americans to the Vatican, to broadcast a public appeal to the people and clergy of Hungary.  The Americans wanted the Vatican to urge the people to temporarily conceal Jews and oppose the deportation and extermination of these people to the full extent of their powers.  The American appeals are ignored because Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) felt that if he did so he would, in all fairness, have to criticize the Russians.  This is a hollow excuse because the Vatican was, previously, quick to condemn communism and not fascism.   Albert Hartl, a Catholic who left the priesthood in 1934 to become Chief of Church Information with the rank of SS Major in the notorious Reich Security Main Office,  visited Rome to convince the Vatican to break with Stalin and join with Germany against the Bolshevik's.  When the Vatican realized that the United States and the Soviet Union would be victorious, it started immediately to form a bloc of western European Nations to effect a counter-balance to these two non-European countries.  France, the most beloved daughter of the Catholic Church, is to take a leading role.

June 5:  The Allies entered Rome, Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) had remained silent concerning the atrocities committed against the Jews and many considered this a major sin of omission by the Church. 

Zigeunernacht, literally, Gypsy Night. On August 2, four thousand Gypsy (Roma) are gassed and cremated in a single action at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

1945

Shu Shing Liang (1918-1990) and Shu Ching Fung b-1924 married in Shanghai, China and moved to Hong Kong after the war.  Large squatter camps developed throughout the Hong Kong territory providing homes for the massive number of growing immigrants.  Conditions in public housing were very basic with several families sharing communal cooking facilities

A Roman Catholic priest from Petricevac led Croat fascists armed with hatchets and knives, to a nearby village where they butchered 2,300 Serbs.   

O Porraimos, the Great Devouring. Up to 1,500,000 Sinti and Gypsy (Roma) are killed in Europe by the Nazi regime and its puppet states.

Between 5,000 and 8,000 Germans were born in a Racial experiment where blue blonds were born and given to SS officers for Nazi doctrine in an attempt to breed a perfect race.  Some suggest these were just high class bordello's for the enjoyment of the Nazi SS.

At Berlin, Germany between 95,000 and 130,000 women and children are raped within the first weeks of Soviet occupation.  It is noteworthy that Stalin had forbidden this act of war.

Anti Pavelic, a Croatian, who is responsible for the massacres of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies, about 500,000 people.  Their eyes had been gouged out, limbs severed, intestines and other organs were ripped out from living bodies.  Many of the lucky ones are simply burned alive.  150,000 Serbs, martyrs of the Orthodox faith, are slaughtered having been offered salvation if they renounced their faith and become Roman Catholic.  Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) gave his friend, Anti Pavelic and four other wanted Yugoslavs, protection and they are hiding in the Oriental Institution in Rome.  Pavelic held frequent secret meetings with Monsignor Montini (Paul VI (1963-1978)), the Under Secretary of State of the Holy See.  The Jesuits are also intimately connected with the case.  Father Krunoslav Draganovic, Secretary of the Croatian Institute of San Girolamo, is the main organizer of the so-called Ratline, assisting Pavelic and other war criminals.  The good father claimed that Pavelic, the dictator, is a brutal mass murderer, one of the most dangerous men he had met in his whole life, yet he claimed he had followed the commandments of Christian love regardless of religion, politics or nationality.

A Turkish pilot claim to have photographed Noah's Ark.

American records confirm that Pope Pius XII (1939-1968) attempted to divert his lack of denouncing the Nazis atrocities toward the Russians atrocities. Pope Pius said  that "he felt reports of Nazi atrocities had been exaggerated".  He also said "he would condemn the Allies if they carried out a threat to bomb Rome". His critics claim he was a Germanophile and was anti-Semetic before becoming Pope in 1939.  This is noteworthy as the Americans must have considered bombing the evil Vatican.  The Pope, however, is more concerned about Vatican treasures than millions of lives.

Walter Rauff , perfected the mobile gas van that is used in the death of 100,000 peoples, mostly eastern European women and children.  Walter Rauff was a friend of Bishop Hudal in 1943.   Monsignor Don Giuseppe Bicchierai would shelter Rauff in the convents of the Holy See.

Archbishop Szepticky of the Ukraine reported that 800,000 Jews are killed and hundreds of thousands of Christians have been systematically slaughtered by the Nazi and their Ukrainian henchmen.  They first felt liberated by the Nazi, from the Bolshevik Yoke, because of Christian Church Policy but within a short time, the Bishop stated the Nazis are diabolically worse than the Bolshevists.

Franz D. Paul Stangl commanded Treblinka, the most efficient death factory, responsible for the death of 900,000 people, mostly Jews.  Bishop Alois Hudal and his organization would arrange his escape from the Allied Governments using Red Cross Passports.  He is recaptured in 1967 in Brazil.

Gustav Wagner, friend of Stangl, who commanded Sobibor, a Polish extermination camp, also escaped with help from Bishop Alois Hundal.

Alois Brunner, a brutal senior officer in the Jewish deportation program, escaped to Syria with the help of Bishop Alois Hudal.

Adolf Eichmann, chief architect of the Holocaust as head of the SS Department for Jewish Affairs, escaped to Genoa and was hidden in a monastery under Arch Bishop Siri's control, with the help of Bishop Alois Hudal.  He was then moved to South America, his expense being covered by the Catholic relief organization called Cartis.  He is eventually captured and executed in Jerusalem in 1962.

Bishop Alois Hudal born May 31, 1885 an Austrian, had a mission is to rescue as many Nazis War criminals as possible from the Allied vengeance.  This is not surprising as he proudly held a Golden Nazi Party membership badge and had written a book praising the German Nazi movement and principles.  Bishop Alois Hudal is a senior Vatican Tribunal in the most rigorous secrecy to defend the faith, Catholic morals and the unity of the Church against heresies, schisms etc. so reported the American Secret Service.  Hudal is very close to Pope Pius XII (1939-1958), they are long time friends since 1924.  Hudal himself talks of helping several hundred war criminals.  He would claim that we do not believe in the eye for an eye of the Jew and to his death, Hudal remained a convinced anti-Semite.  Influential priests not only know whom the Nazis are, they actually sought them out and provided them with extra-special treatment.  Father Gallov, a Hungarian Catholic Priest, is central to forging Red Cross papers, using alias and false nationality, while admitting he knew they were known or wanted war criminals.  Monsignor Walter Carroll, Secretariat of State of the Holy See, had cautioned the Americans not to delve too deeply into the details of the financing of the Nazi escape routes.  Father Draganovic, Monsignor Presern, Bishop Bucko and Father Gallov are all active in the Nazi smuggling operations.

Five Roman Catholic Priests ran the Ratline to assist war criminals to escape.  Their profile is as follows: Father Cecelja, a freely admitted Fascist activist who organized 800 peasants to assist the Nazi to occupy Croatia, officiated at Pavelic swearing in ceremony while being aware of the Budak proclamation to kill one third of the Serbs, helped the criminals escape under orders from Rome, is registered as a war criminal himself and believed to his death he did no wrong.  Father Draganovic is also a wanted war criminal, being an official officer of the committee responsible for the forced conversion of Orthodox Serbs to Catholicism and the forced requisitioning of food during the bloody Nazi offensive on Kozara mountain. He is also Vice President of the Ustashi's Office for Colonization which is an integral part of the Nazi genocide machine, preparing the Serbs and Jews for extermination.  He said he co-operated with the Nazi as a citizen according to the laws of the Lord.  He is entrusted with all valuables being smuggled by the war criminals.  Father Dragutin Kamber, a Roman Catholic Priest, is a bloody mass murderer who set up the concentration camp at Doboj and became its commandant. He ordered Jews to wear yellow armbands and Serbs to wear white bands, telling them they would be exterminated.  He organized mass arrests and interrogated some in his own house, subsequently killing them in his cellar.  The Serbia teachers and priests are killed in this way.  This is confirmed by British Intelligence.

Father Dominik Mandic, the official Vatican representative at San Girolamo, a senior official in the Franciscan order, holding the position of General Economist or treasurer, is the critical link in creating false papers and providing the necessary funding.  San Girolamo, a Monastery, is honeycombed with cells of Nazi war criminal operatives with extremely tight security to prevent Communist attacks, or so they claimed.  Monsignor Karlo Petranovic, now living in Canada, worked out of Genoa, shipping out hundreds of war criminals with the assistance of Bishop Ferinand Pawlikowski.  He is at the center of the atrocities but claimed no knowledge of these killings:  I saw nothing, the Jews just disappeared, I was not involved.  The records say he is a captain in the army, also deputy to the local Nazi leader and he decided on the life or death of the Serbs in the district.  Two thousand local Serbs are exterminated.  The Yugoslavs claim he personally organized the execution of seventy prominent Serbs.  Newspaper accounts from 1941 suggest the holy Roman Father is a liar.

Doctor Omrecanin, a well-known Nazi propagandist from Croatia, bragged they had sent 30,000 people down the Ratline, including many German scientists and technicians.  Father Draganovic, who is the Holy Sea’s official representative for the immigration of Nazi war criminals; contacting Cardinals world wide to assist in his mission, had very close relationships with Pope Pious XII (1939-1958), the Church hierarchy and Bishop Giovanni Battista Montini, Assistant Secretary of State who would later become Pope Paul VI (1963-1978).  The CIA archives also appear to implicate Cardinal Ildebrando Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, suggesting he was involved in the transfer of large sums of money from Milan to Rome by Nazi agents at the war's end. The CIA via the British Secret Service had been aware throughout the war that the Nazi party had a Deep Throat inside the Vatican and suggests an Irish priest possibly Mgr. Hugh O'Flaherty may have wittingly or unwittingly supplied information to the Nazi's. It is claimed he hid 4,000 Jews and escaped Allied prisoners. Some suggest the information he supplied was inaccurate and was about the proposed Allied landings in Italy. The proposed beatification of Pius XII (1939-1958) is bitterly opposed by Jewish groups and Christians who say he ignored Nazi atrocities and helped Hitler (1889-1945) to win power.

This year 20,000 Dutch citizens died of starvation and about 7,000 escaped this fate by immigrating to Canada.  Arthur Seyss-Inquart was hanged for his part in starving people in the Netherlands.  Another 30,000 Dutch died in German prisoner of war camps.  It is estimated that 1.4 million Germans died in prisoner of war camps, many died from starvation.   Other estimates are higher/lower than this estimate.  Some believe the German starvation was a deliberate program of retaliation.  However Canada and the United States began shipping food to feed hundreds of million of starving people as a result of these wars.  Only Canada did rationing and price controls continue long after the war so that others could be fed.

February 4-11:  The Yata Conference between (Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili) Generalissimo  Stalin, Prime Minister Churchill (1874-1965) and President Roosevelt (1882-1945) is considered by some to be the start of the Cold War.  They contend President Roosevelt (1882-1945) sold-out Eastern Europe by a secret deal, to a known ruthless dictator, Joseph Stalin.  The Cold War (1945-1960's) was a period of East-west tension, and conflict just short of full-scale war.

May 3:  Ireland's prime minister Eamon de Valera, was the only government leader to convey official condolences to Eduard Hempel, director of the German diplomatic corps in Ireland.  He was critized by most nations of the world.  The Republic of Ireland, then called Eire, remained neutral throughout the war, and many Irish rooted for Germany against Britain.  Jews fleeing Nazi persecution trying to receive asylum in Ireland are rejected. . De Valera also refused to allow Britain or its Allies to use strategic Irish ports for protecting Atlantic convoys from attacks by German U-boats.  Churchill said Britain had considered laying "a violent hand" on neutral Ireland to seize its ports,

May 7:   War ends in Europe, Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) is dead.  Pope Pius XII (1939-1958), the man who remained silent concerning the extermination of six million Jews, now finds a voice to speak of the Soviet confiscation's, deportations, rapes, disease, deprivation and deliberate starvation.  It is a scene of horror that the Vatican reported from every country under Soviet occupation.  The Russian's retaliated by claiming the Pope is a supporter and protector of Hitler (1889-1945) and the Nazis and of Mussolini and the Fascists.  This is the Russian claim that history would prove true, despite repeated denials by the Church.  Many Catholics are beginning to believe the Roman Church leaders are less than holy people.  For the next forty-five years priests, monks, bishops and popes throughout Italy and France had a distorted perception of truth and justice.  They frustrated the authorities that attempted to bring war criminals to justice by sheltering these criminals in monasteries and abbeys.  Archbishop Albert Decourtray, of Lyon head, of the French Catholic Church, admitted to the guilt of the Roman Church whom he called rightists, opposing any liberalization in the Church.

August 6:  Hiroshima, Japan at 8:15 A.M. the Atomic Bomb named 'Little Boy' was dropped killing 118,661 and injuring 79,130 but longer term studies over the next 50 years suggests the premature deaths likely range from 340,000 to 350,000 people.

August 9:  Nagasaki, Japan at 11.02 A.M. the Atomic Bomb named 'Fatman' was dropped killing 73,884 and injuring 74,909.  The world changed and settled into what was called the 'Cold War'.  People started building bomb shelters and stocking them with food and water.  This paranoia would continue for the next 40 years.

September 17:   Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) asked General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Mark Clark not to stand in the way of his, attempts to create a new majority Catholic country from Austria to parts of Germany (including Bavaria, and Saxony) and was to be led by Archduke Otto, heir to the Hapsburg throne in Austria.  During the war there were various proposals to create a Danube confederation which was to include Austria, southern Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary.  The Pope said, "Are you guys going to mess with this or would you want to let it go?"  The two generals are seen as a threat to the Popes political ambitions.  This is the Pope who failed to speak out over the Holocaust, who facilitated the Nazi criminals in escaping their war crimes and now wants to profit from the bounty of war. 

October:   The American Secret Service note the preponderant influence that the Jesuit fathers, who always present concrete and well-reasoned projects, tend to exercise at the Curia.   The Jesuits are leading the Holy Sea’s espionage struggle with Moscow and the cost is running into millions of dollars.  Estonians, Lithuanians, Czech and other Nationals are being organized into a highly secret group called the Christian Front for what the Church calls justified self-defense and self-preservation, being convinced the Russian invasion of Western Europe is inevitable.  Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) is coordinating the most secret and most shameful operation in Vatican history; they are recruiting ex-Nazis, that are notorious war criminals, to fight Communists.  Some Church officials are laundering stolen Nazi treasure to finance their freedom fighters.  Unknown to the Vatican, the Communists had penetrated their command structure from the top to the bottom.

1946  

Italy abolished the Monarchy by plebiscite.  Pius XII (1939-1958) condemned all forms of artificial insemination.

American archives reveal that the allies pampered Nazi elite in the War Criminal Prison No.1, Landsberg.  Elite prisoners were free to leave their cells, to access their bank accounts and even to run their businesses.  Many took Spanish lessons to prepare for their planned lives in South America.  The most prominent prisoner was Alfried Krupp, Hitler's favorite industrialist, who produced many of his arms using slave labor.   He even conducted the company's board of director meeting in a reserved room in prison.  Other prominent industrialists were Fredrich Flick, an arms dealer who later bankrolled the Christian Democratic Union, and General Erhard Miclch, second in command of the Luftwaffe, who became an aerospace consultant.  Another was General Frank Six, head of Hitler's secret service, who planned to cleanse Britain of Jews, homosexuals and political undesirables when they conduced a successful invasion of England.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) said an 'Iron Curtain' is descending through middle Europe.  Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) said, that World War II was unavoidable and an inevitable consequence of 'Capitalist Imperialism' and implied that such a war might reoccur.

1947  

India and Pakistan achieve independence.

Chinese Civil War.  The Communists capture Nationalist Capital Yan'an.

Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) is labeled the German Pope and, within the Pontifical apartment, it is reported that only German is spoken.  His private secretary is a husky Bavarian, Father Leiber, who frequents typical German beer parlors and is frequented by SS War criminals, who hide under assumed names.

The Roman Catholic Church has refused to allow changes to the bible based on the revelations of the Dead Sea Scrolls until September 2001.  The fear was that these revelations would undermine Christianity.

March 7:  Formosa (Taiwan) is invaded by Chiang Kai Shek's troops that massacred between 18,000 to 28,000 people in three days, followed by rape and looting..  Those killed were mostly intellectuals, leaders, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and students, so reports foreign observers.  Taiwan is composed of 65% Han Taiwanese Chinese; 18% Hakka Taiwanese Chinese; 15% Mainline Chinese; 1,7% Aborigines who are considered 'aliens' stigmatized as social outcasts.

1948  

An earthquake at Ashgabat, Turkmenistan killed 110 thousand people.

The World Council of Churches is established but excludes the Roman Church.

Throughout July and August, in Communist Yugoslavia, the remainder of Father Krunoslav Draganovic's, Secretary of the Confraternity of San Girolamo in Rome, secret army of Crusaders, who had tried to infiltrate Croatia, are placed on trial along with other War Criminals.  The Vatican, through their Golden Priest (Draganovic), Bishop Gregory Rozman, one of the most wanted Nazi collaborators, and Father Josip Bujanovic, had launched a Holy Crusade (Krizari) against the atheistic Bolshevik foe.

The British Government secretly cabled all Commonwealth countries to stop all investigations of Nazi War Criminals because it might compromise English integrity, as they are recruiting War criminals for covert projects.  They contacted the Vatican for assistance to resettle Grey Nazis and asked America to help sabotage the screening process.  Thousands of Fascist settled in Canada, with the assistance of the Church, where they continued their anti-Semitic propaganda.  The Americans estimate that ten thousand Nazi War Criminals reside in their country and are still active in creating hate.  Britain is the only Western Nation to refuse any access to its intelligence archives and for good reason.

1949  

Pius XII (1939-1958) threatened members of the Communism with excommunication something he didn't do to nazism.  The Pope allowed the Roman Church to attend the World Council of Churches and permitted Roman Catholics to engage in discussion with non-Romans on matters of faith.

The State of Israel is created.

The Peoples Republic of China is established.

South Africa begins its apartheid policy.

Aerial photos show a formation resembling a ship with dimensions fitting the Biblical story of Noah's Ark.

Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) published one Encyclical condemning Nazi teachings and the Church did not suffer.   Cardinal Roncalli, later John XXIII (1958-1963), handed out false baptismal certificates to every Jew he could and he is not harmed.  Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) wanted to be a major player on the international chessboard but ended up a pawn and, from a political perspective, is guilty of hypocrisy, incompetence and stupidity.  From a moral perspective, what Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) did, in the obstruction of justice by aiding and abetting the escape of known war criminals (mass murderers), knowingly receiving and trafficking stolen goods, fraudulently, using the Red Cross, forging identity cards, and money laundering under any International Law, should mean a long prison sentence.   Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) also abused diplomatic privilege by using Vatican buildings and vehicles to house and transport Nazi nationalists to other countries in violation of their immigration laws, thereby spreading the Nazi devil cancer to more fertile ground in the third world, significantly contributing to the cold war and the suffering of innocent peoples.  Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) and the next Pope, Paul VI (1963-1978), attempted to subvert hostile states, ferment insurrection for the Vatican advantage in its own geo-political interests, no different than the other major players.  The greatest crime is that the Vatican did not speak out for the victims but went to extraordinary lengths for the guilty.  Future historians will point to this period as the decline and fall of the unholy Roman Catholic Empire. They say that God will not ignore the cries of those lost souls, as the Church attends to her great worldly wealth.  The Church chose diplomacy over truth; temporal power over moral duty and this would carry into the second half of the century.

The Catholic Church is the most successful institution of European Civilization with about one billion members.  Some believe God will give the leaders of the Roman Church one last chance to repent and change its unholy tradition under Vatican II.

USSR detonated their first atomic explosion and the 'Cold War' 'Nuclear Arms Race' had begun.

Republic of China: Taiwan.

People's Republic of China.

1950  

Pius XII (1939-1958) warned against the accommodation of Roman Catholic theology to current intellectual trends.

Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) adopted the hypothesis that Mary mother of God was assumed into heaven and made this belief a Catholic Doctrine.  Shaul Hawkins, an elder from the House of Yahweh from Abeline, Texas believes anyone who gives praise to Mary as more than just a woman who gave birth to Jesus is worshipping the devil.  He says there was no ascension into heaven and no special privileges given to her, and there is nothing in the Bible about her being an intercessor.

The Peoples Republic of China invades and seizes Tibet.

The Korean War 1950-1953.

1952

December 5-9: The Great London Fog caused the death of an estimated 8,000 people but later studies suggests the death rate was between 12,000 to 14,000 people.  Most deaths were young and old people with lung infections.  The cause was the burning of low quality, high sulfur coal which produced Sulphur dioxide that was trapped by a cold air inversion.  The recent concersion to diesel buses also contributed to the deaths.  This incident started the dirty fuels environmental movement.  Dirty fuels to generate electricity and such things as steel production still claim thousands of lives in the 21st century, each year.

One of the most disgraceful and disgusting practices took place at the Haut De La Garenne, a child care home, for orphan and poor class boys and girls, in Saint Martin, on the Channel Island of Jersey, UK, not far from the coast of France.  A pedophile ring operated by gay and lesbian workers sexually and physically abused the children, some as young as age 4 years, between 1960-1986, some suggest it was 1950-1986.  They would throw sex parties and invite outsiders to abuse the children.  The older kids were encouraged to rape the younger kids.  They would give teenagers cigarettes and booze from staff in exchange for sex.  Those who didn't conform were sent to a basement, shackled and placed in a cold concrete bath and left for days.   About 100 victims have so far come forward by 2008, many others are a long time dead.  Senator Stuart Syvriet a Minister of Health and Social Services was sacked for whistle blowing by Frank Walker, chief Minister.  About 109 people of interest have been identified, including 40 prime suspects.  Only the notorious pedophile Edward Paisnel, dubbed the Beast of Jersey, has been sent to jail and he was only a visitor, not a member of the staff.  The Officials of Jersey humiliated and intimidated many of the children into withdrawing their complaints over the years.  Anyone who spoke out against the staff were dismissed as anti-gay or mentally retarded.   Margaret Hodgers as Children's Minister tried to block media investigating into child abuse.  Finally stiffer dogs were employed and discovered the bricked-up cellar where the remains of five children ages 4 years to 11 years were discovered under a concrete floor.  The bodies had been dismembered and burnt to destroy evidence.  The concrete bath was found with traces of blood and child size shackles, confirmed the children's stories.  Other locations were discovered where bodies had been buried and removed.  The bones under the concrete floor also are believed to have been moved from another location.  No records were kept so the number of deaths is not known.  It can be assumed that other bodies were deposited else ware, likely the ocean.  In July 2008 British authorities suggest no criminal charges will ever be laid as the bones can't be properly identified.  It is said "This is just a continuum of an English culture of cover-up and concealment of disgraceful and disgusting practices."

1962  

John XXIII (1958-1963) opened the Second Vatican Council that included observers of 18 non-Roman Churches and condemned any use of anathemas to restrict positive truth.  He had to intervene decisively in November to rule that the conservative schema on revelation, that had been rejected by more than half but not the necessary two-thirds of the fathers should be redrafted by a mixed commission.

This year a secret document titled "Crimen Sollicationis" was written by Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani of the Vatican to evade prosecution of the clergy for sex crimes.  It bears the seal of Pope John XXIII and is a bluprint for deception and concealment of what the Vatican considers criminal conduct or what they consider the worst crime, pedophilia.  It imposed an oath of excommunication on the victims, witnesses, and any priests or Bishops dealing with the allegations.  Some considered this policy, which was distributed to all Bishops, world wide, as worse than the Mafia.  It created "a culture of secrecy and fear of scandal that led Bishops to place the interest of the Catholic Church ahead of the safety of children."  Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger enforced Crimen Sollicitionis for nearly 20 years before he became Pope.  This Pope still endorses a policy that punishes the innocent children and protects the pedophile clergy.  This policy remains in effect in 2007 and beyond.  This pathological cult of secrecy is far worse than sex crimes.

Saudi Arabia abolished slavery this year, however Muslim fundamentalism as supported by Saudi Arabia Wahhabi Muslim Sect still supports slavery of female children to older men.  The slave trade was abolished but not the keeping of slaves especially as concubines and in harems for sexual purposes.

1963  

Measles effects everyone in the world and an estimated 200 million died of the disease in the past 150 years, it was first reported in 165 in Rome.  A vaccine developed this year claimed to reduced the cases of measles by 99%.  However studies in 2009 suggest that measles death rate has only fallen 78%.  Southeast Asia has only fallen 46% and is a major concern.

Pope John XXIII (1963-1978) drew a distinction between Marxist ideology and the aspirations of communist regimes and set out the recognition of human rights and duties as the foundation of world peace and for peaceful coexistence between West and the Communist East.  This position made a lasting impression on the Russia people.  Pope John XXIII (1963-1978) removed words offensive to Jews from the Good Friday liturgy and considered himself a Jew.  Speaking to a Jew he said "I am Joseph, your brother".  Paul VI Giovanni Battista Montini (1963-1978) is elected Pope.  Pope Paul VI (1963-1978) was cool if not critical of Pope John's Vatican Council.  He made it very clear that the pope has supreme authority in the church.  Some believe Pope Paul VI (1963-1978) implemented a modified Vatican Council decisions skillfully and with great courage without causing a major schism.  Others contend he abandoned the objectives of Pope John and the Holy Spirit.

1966  

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China was a struggle for power within the Communist Party of China that manifested into wide-scale social, political, and economic violence and chaos, which grew to include large sections of Chinese society and eventually brought the entire country to the brink of civil war.

It was launched by Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Communist Party of China, on May 16, 1966, officially as a campaign to rid China of its "liberal bourgeoisie " elements and to continue revolutionary class struggle. It is widely recognized, however, as a method to regain control of the party after the disastrous Great Leap Forward led to a significant loss of Mao's power to rivals Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, and would eventually descend into waves of power struggles between rival factions both nationally and locally.

Although Mao himself officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, the term is today widely used to also include the period between 1969 and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976.

John Paul I alias Albino Luciani (1978-1978) a defender of Humanae vitae is elected Pope.  He is the first non-Italian elected for 455 years.  His family are outspoken socialists.  Rumors of foul play, fanned by the lack of an autopsy, continue to circulate.  John Paul II (1978-2005 ) a Slav is elected Pope.  He had argued for religious freedom contending that the church must grant to others the liberty of thought, action and speech that she claimed for herself.  He is forced to defend Humanae vitae, on marriage, contraception, abortion and homosexuality.  He tried to restore the morale and effectiveness of the infamous Jesuit (Society of Jesus).

John Paul I is elected Pope (for 34 days.) He determines that he will look into the scandals of the Vatican connections with the Mafia and the powerful group of Freemasons known as P.2.  It is reported that the night before his alleged murder, he gave Cardinal Villot a list of people he wanted removed from positions of power.  The Cardinal later gave false statements to the police and press about the circumstances of John Paul I death.  The list has not been seen since.  Also, hastily, and against all Catholic tradition and beliefs, the body of the Pope is cremated to ensure no investigation.  Rumor is that he was poisoned.  Twelve Cardinals are believed a part of the conspiracy.  The Christian community loses more faith in the Institutional Church as Pope Paul II (1978-2005) will fail to clean up the Church.

The compromise for silence is to elect Pope John Paul II, (1920-2005) named Karol Josef Wojtyla and the first non Italian Pope in four and a half centuries.  The Polish Pope freezes dispensations for priests leaving the priesthood and celibacy , as the exodus has been appalling.  John Paul II (1978-2005) is a highly conservative Pope, not likely to bring liberalization.  The Church will face a world wide shortage of priests because of its failure to liberalize its thinking.

Italian Prime Minister Aldo Morois is assassinated.

There is a majority Black rule in Rhodesia.

Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) began his campaign to kill all his rivals and boasted of his campaign to unite the Kurds, Sunni and Shi'ia peoples of Iraq and called the mass murders as expediency.   He would be charged in 2006 with genocide.

Ayatollah Khomeini a Shi'a cleric came to power in Iran and extremists (Wahhabi) took over the holiest of Islam's shrines, the Mosque in Mecca, which was under the protection of the Saudi King a Sunni;  It was reclaimed by the Saudis only after substantial loss of both life and face.  The Kingdom was forced to accommodate the Wahhabi Muslim Sect to the detriment of the world and Islam.  Saudi turned over the education system to the Wahhabi and later funded their expansion into Pakistan, and else ware of their extreme, hostile anti-modern, anti-infidel form of Islam.  The Wahhabi would focus on anti-American and anti-Israel in exchange the Saudi elite would get a free ride as corruption within the Kingdom would be ignored.  They rewrote the Qur'an to insert hatred of the Jews and Americans.  The changes included a focus on intolerance, hate and jihad.  Saudi Arabia Wahhabi would spread terrorism throughout the world using the oil revenues.  The oil riches and Wahhabi education would destroy the youth of the Kingdom by focusing on religious intolerance rather than academic skills need to manage a modern country.   95% of Saudi youth would learn to relish jihad against the infidels, both Muslims and non Muslims.

Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) is credited with the start of a process that eventually caused the collapse of communism.

The Islamic Republic of Mauritania a Muslim dominated country (99.84% Muslim) finally abolished the slave trade but the keeping of slaves mostly concubines still persisted.  The ethnic tension and the sensitive issue of slavery – past and, in some areas, present – is still a powerful theme in the country's political debate.   Some 70,000 black African Mauritanians were expelled from Mauritania in the late 1980s..  

The Islamic slave trade is estimated at 180 million people at 60% women for sexual exploitation as concubines, for harems and to serve military men.  Most men slaves were castrated and many children born to slave women were killed at birth.  It is noteworthy that the America slave trade was 60% men and 40% women and children and castration was not a common practice

Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) of Iraq makes a surprise attack on Iran, the start of a seven year war.  It is estimated that 100's of thousands are killed and the country is forced into debt.  The Iranian people however blame the U.S.A. not Iraq for the war.  Everyone in Iran and Iraq knows that Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) is a monster.  Some say as a dictator he is ready to sacrifice his country, just as long as he can remain on his throne in Baghdad.

1981  

May 13:  Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) was gunned down in St. Peter's Square.  A Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca, b-1858 was the assassin.  He wrote "I am killing the pope as a protest against the imperialism of the Soviet Union and the United States and against the genocide that is being carried out in El Salvador and Afghanistan."  It was originally speculated that the Soviet KBG was behind the attack and this was confirmed in 2006 that the hit was ordered by the Soviet KGB and assigned to Bulgarian embassy who engaged Turkish terrorists.  East German service known as the Stasi coordinated the operation and covered up the traces afterwards.  The Russians blamed John Paul with the breakup up of the Soviet Empire.

October 6:  Egypt, Muslim fundamentalists assonated Anwar Sadat (1918-1981) because in September of 1981, Sadat cracked down on Muslim organizations and Coptic organizations, including student groups; the arrests totaled nearly 1600, and for his activity in working for peace in the Middle East.

The USSR outlaws solidarity in Poland.

Pope John Paul II (1978 -2005 ) and President Ronald Reagon of the United States hatched a secret holy alliance (plot) on June 7, to keep Poland's outlawed Solidarity Union alive, headed by Lech Walesa, future President, and to de stabilize Soviet control of Eastern Europe.  Ronald Reagon said, "Both felt that a great mistake had been made (in the 1945 division of Europe) at Yalta and something should be done".  The Pope and the President exploited the forces of history to their own ends.  Agostino Cardinal Casaroli and Archbishop Achille Silvestri met with Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Judge William Clark, National Security Advisors.  The Vatican used its priests and bishops in a spy and supply network, providing tons of equipment, fax machines, printing presses, transmitters, telephones, video cameras, photocopiers, computers and word processors. Secret Vatican accounts were funded by money from the CIA.  The covert action is also directed at Hungary and Czechoslovakia. 

May12: Pope John Paul II (1978 -2005 ) was attacked by Father Juan Fernandez Krohn, a Spanish priest in Portugal at the Fatima shrine.  Some speculate it was because the pope was 20% Jewish and 80% Polish and not the traditional Italian.  He suffered only minor wounds which was not made public.

1984  

The 1984-85 famine in Ethiopia resulted in 1 million deaths.

Italy and the Vatican signed an agreement under which Roman Catholicism ceased to be the State Religion.

December 3: Bhopal, India;  A pesticide plant run by Union Carbide spewed about 40 tons of deadly methyl isocyanate gas into the city's air, quickly killing about 4,000 people. The lingering effects of the poison raised the death toll to about 15,000 over the next few years, according to government estimates.  Union Carbide was bought by Dow Chemical Co. in 2001  The government says at least 500,000 people were affected by the gas, also known as MIC. Activists say thousands of children born to parents directly exposed to the gas or poisoned by contaminated water are suffering from brain damage, cleft lips, missing palates and twisted limbs.  Union Carbide Corp., an American chemical company, said the accident was an act of sabotage by a disgruntled employee who was never identified, and not the result of lax safety standards or faulty plant design, as claimed by some activists.  No matter how you cut it, it was the world's worst industrial disaster.

1985

Pope John Paul II (1978-2005), in a Jewish synagogue, deplored the hatreds and persecutions of the past against Jews, by anyone.  He repeated the last phrase, "by anyone".  To any church historian the second    'by anyone' included the Roman Catholic Church.  This small proclamation, however, would not stop Jewish persecution by the Church.  The Pope has only to observe Poland to see that Jewish discrimination is being continued.  He fails to censure these Polish leaders of the Church.

1986

April 25:  Chernobyl Nuclear disaster takes place in the Ukraine, USSR and about 300,000 to 400,000 people died resulting in the worst nuclear accident in the world.  Safety procedures were ignored during a routine reactor test but the reactor was a flawed design.  Most folks had no idea there was a nuclear accident.  After 9 days 135,000 people were evacuated which eventually rose to 360,000 people. Some suggest the radiation has affected 7 million people.  The radiation is expected to remain for 48,000 years but some believe it will not be low enough to reoccupy the area for 600 to 900 years.  About 650,000 people were sent to clean up the site without protective clothing and 10,000 were known to die outright.  Others suffered grotesque mutations but these are not reported.  The area affected is the size of France, but some places are relatively free from radiation while others are hot spots.  Areas of plant growth are higher than concrete and buildings are more dangerous than open spaces.

1989  

The Tiananmen square massacre occurred in China.  A courageous young man captured the imagination of the whole world, when he single-handedly stopped the advance of a tank column by standing in its way.   On June 3 troops received orders to reclaim Tiananmen Square at all costs.  The soldiers opened fire on people blocking the armies advances and on people shouting at the troops.  The estimated number killed range from 500 to 3,000.  The demonstrators were mostly students who had occupied the square for 7 weeks.  The army searched the university campus searching for ringleaders who were beaten or killed.  Deng Xiaoping is believed to have ordered the massacre.

In the Chinese language, the incident is most commonly known as the June Fourth Movement (simplified Chinese: 六四运动; traditional Chinese: 六四運動), the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件), or colloquially, simply Six-four (June 4th) (Chinese: 六四). The nomenclature of the former is consistent with the customary names of the other two great protest actions that occurred in Tiananmen Square: the May Fourth Movement of 1919, and the April Fifth Movement of 1976. Other names which have been used in the Chinese language include June Fourth Massacre (Chinese: 六四屠城; pinyin: Liù-Sì Túchéng or Chinese: 六四屠杀; pinyin: Liù-Sì Túshā).

January:   The republics of Croatia and Slovenia, north and west of Bosnia-Herzegovina, seek to loosen the Yugoslavia federation.  Ethnic and religious violence grows threatening again to ignite a world war.  The Bosnia Muslim, Serb Orthodox Christian and Croat Roman Catholic are all Slav descendents.  Canada called for United Nations intervention in Yugoslavia.  Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in London said that in the end we are our brother’s keepers.

June 15:  Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted and one month later Mt. Hudson in southern Chile erupted.  The Pinatubo eruption produced the largest sulfur oxide cloud this century.  The aersol plume of these two eruptions diffused around the globe in a matter of months.  As a result the mean world temperature decreased by about 1 degree Centigrade over the next two years.

July 16:  A cyclone struck the Chittagong district of Bangladesh killing 138,866 people, most being drown.

October 28:   Chief Dead Sea Scroll editor John Strugnell of Harvard Divinity School called Judaism a horrible religion that was originally racist, a Christian heresy that should never have survived.  He ended by recommending Jews convert to Christianity.  This is a long held belief of the Roman Catholic Church.  Some contend that Strugnell is more Catholic than the Pope and represents the furthest right of right wing politics.

1992  

Recently, a former slave from the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Mende Nazer, had her autobiography:  "Slave:  My True Story" published.  Mende was captured in 1992, she was first a slave to a rich Arab family in Khartoum, and then in 2002 to a Sudanese diplomat in London, from whom she escaped and sought political asylum.   The Republic of Sudan is 70% Muslim and is believed to be still involved in the slave trade into the 21 century, especially in women.

Bishop Meaux of Paris recruited Father Patrick Rosiest, a self proclaimed Communist, a robust active member of the CGT trade union (communist union) since the close of the last war.  His mission as an undercover agent is to infiltrate, using sins of omission, the Euro-Disney operation to determine the cultural and spiritual effect these Americans might have on his flock.

February 6:  The Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church accused Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) of using underhanded and deceitful methods to strengthen his influence in Eastern Europe. The dispute concerns the role of Eastern Rite Catholics, or Uniates, who recognize the authority of the Pope while using Orthodox ritual. They represent three hundred million Christians.  The Greek Synod claims Eastern Rite Catholics in Yugoslavia, Ukraine and Romania are taking advantage of the end of communist rule to claim their Church property.  They suspended talks with the Roman Catholics concerning major spiritual differences between the Churches.   The two Church groups split in 1054.

1993  

Senator Joseph R. Biden of Delaware, United States denounced Europe for its indifference, timidity, self-delusion and Hypocrisy towards the Yugoslavia situation.  Europe does not feel morally, emotionally or politically strong enough to take on the rigors of war.

Former Soviet states seek independence.

Czechoslovakia separates.

A tsunami hit Okushiri, Japan generating waves up to 102 feet, killing 239 people.

May 8:  At the Mafia capital of Trapani, Sicily, Pope John Paul II (1978-2005), being pressured by Bishop Dominico Amoroso, mildly criticized the Mafia by saying the "Mafioso challenges be answered with humble strength".  Many Church members and organizations have been urging the Pope, since his election, to denounce the Mafia and to encourage Church Officials, who are linked to the Mafia by family traditions, culture, imprudent friendships and common interests, to step aside from Church Offices.  Pope John Paul I (1978-2005) was alleged killed by Mafia Cardinals when he tried to purge the Church of these people.

September 1:   Hans Kung, a Swiss Roman Catholic theologian, is the main author of a Spiritual Global Ethic document which is to be signed by 200 spiritual leaders from most major religions of the world.  The document reserved its harshest criticism for the sins of religion; where two-thirds of armed conflict invokes the name of religion.  Religion has incited aggression, fanatism, hate and xenophobia.  It has even inspired and legitimized violent and bloody conflicts and goes on to state that we, the signors, are filled with disgust.  We condemn aggression and hatred in the name of religion.

1994  

A heat wave in east Asia killed over 1000 people in China, Japan and South Korea during the El Nino of 1994-1995 in the Pacific Ocean.  739 people died in Chicago in 1995 during the heat wave.

Pope John Paul II (1978 - 2005) is in declining health and has spent considerable effort  ensuring the ultra conservatives will elect a conservative upon his death.  In the last twenty-five years, since Humane Vitae and the banning of all forms of birth control, only 7,000 priests are studying for the priesthood vs. 45,000 in 1968.  At best, only 30 percent still attend church.  Others suggest only 20%.  The Roman Church's sexual suppression expanded from no birth control to include no pre-martial sex, no married priests, no women priests, no acceptance of homosexuality and no abortion for any reason.  Over 125,000 priests have resigned the priesthood causing crises in the church.  Resigned priests are forbidden to read at church, give communion, teach theology, teach religion or be a councilor.  In effect, they can't remain an active member of the church.  It is noteworthy that, historically, the Roman Church had refused to baptize or bury a miscarried fetus.  The Church would go a long way in it’s own reform if it would give up on its own belief in infallibility.

Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) established diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Israel.

Anti-war activists are pleased when no one intervened in the Rwandian situation.  As a result, 800,000 people were massacred in 100 days.  The UN had 2,519 peacekeepers in Rwandia the most heavily armed contingent.  The UN withdrew to neighboring Uganda.  This sent a powerful message to the world, don't expect the UN to prevent genocide of innocent peoples.  If 800,000 Americans were massacred the anti-war activists would be shouting for a nuclear strike.

This is considered one of the worst genocide campaigns waged in the world.  Desire Munyaneza formally of Rwanda is being held in Montreal, Canada, being charged with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in which 800,000 Tutsis & Hutus were killed in a three month period.   

April 6:  A campaign of genocide began after the Rwandan Presidents jet was shot down over Kigali, Rawanda.  A 100 day campaign saw the slaughter of 500,000 Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus.  Others suggest the death of one million people within a three month period.  The war was between the Hutus (88% of population) and the Tutsis (11% of the population).  The Tutsis prevailed and the Hutus fled; 2 million to Zaire, 480,000 to Tanzania, 200,000 to Burundi, 10,000 to Uganda and about 1 million remained within Rwanda where many more died of starvation or were killed.  The Presidential Guard started the massacres and Theoneste Bagosora is believed to be the authority behind the slaughter.  Bagosora, Gratien, Kabiligi, Anatole Nesengiyumva, and Alots Ntabakuze have been charged.

Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (1922-1995) is assassinated.

Bosnian Christian Serbs took the town of Srebrenica and systematically killed 8,000 Bosnian Muslim, Men and boys.

July:  The actions of the Dutch peacekeepers of the United Nation disarmed thousands of Muslim men, thereby encouraged, aided, and emboldened the execution of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica.  The Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are responsible for this atrocity and remain at large.  The International War Tribunal indicted Mladic, Obrenovis, Krstic and Radoven Karadzic.  Krstic was sentenced to 46 years in prison and Dragan Obrenovis is sentenced to 17 years in prison.  General Radivot Krstic announced to his troops "you must kill everyone.  We don't need anyone alive".   The Serb army that carried out these commands are as guilt as the leaders.  The United Nations shares the guilt for not providing enough armed troops to ensure the safety of the people.

1996  

The North Korean famine of (1996-1998) resulted in 1.2 million deaths.

The last Mary Magdalene asylums are closed in Ireland this year.   They were run by the Dominican Sisters of Mercy.  It is believed 30,000 victims were processed through these slave camps.   This institutional system of cruelty was justified by a perverted hysteria about sex.  Millions of pounds were paid out in settlement to the victims but many lives were destroyed.

February 20:  Saddam Hussein (1937-2006) dictator of Iraq orders the murder of his two son-in-laws. 

1997

December:  The Kyoto Protocol of mans alleged influence on climate change or commonly called the greenhouse effect is created in Kyoto Japan and will prove to be the biggest hoax of the twentieth century.  This hoax was started by Michael Mann based on unsound science and the environmentalists like lemmings jumped on the band wagon.

1998  

The 1998 heat wave in India resulted in 2,541 deaths and this happened during an El Nino of 1997-1998 in the Pacific Ocean.

War resumes between Eritrea and Ethiopia over an inconsequential piece of real estate that was divided over religious beliefs.  It is estimated that 40,000 people are killed during this war.

July 17:  A earthquake triggered a tsunami that struck the north coast of Papua New Guinea kills 6,000.

1999  

War has been simmering in Kosovo, Serbia, Yugoslavia since 1945 and by the summer of 1998 full scale Civil War broke out.  NATO moved in to settling the Kosovo war.

December:   Lutheranism will end its ties with the Swedish Government and their founding ideology of one country, one people, and one ruler; thus ending five centuries of tradition.  This Imperialistic philosophy is so deeply entrenched in European thinking, it is unlikely to be eradicated in the near future.
