POPSIsraeli Blockade Creates Food Shortages in Gaza
Collective punishment. War crime. 1.4 million peope & refuges being slowly starved to death in front of the eyes of the world. THIS IS NOT POLITICS. THIS IS NOT WAR. THIS IS GENOCIDE. Unfortuntely almost all USA politicians have sold out to the policies of Israel. Starving a million and a half people to death is okay but criticizing the Jewish State is not. Sold out, by the way, for a worse deal that Judas' 30 shekels of silver; they get maybe $100K and vote for Israel getting billions. They also get re-elected which, apparently they feel they achieve without the support of Jewish lobbies, like AIPAC, American Enterprise Institute and dozens of others. Why can we do? Maybe try to get the case to the World Court? -- But the U.S. would certainly veto it. (as with so many other attempts to bring justice to Israel's war crimes). Maybe churches? But many also think you can't criticize Israel; bizarre. It helps see why Pontius Pilate could only wash his hands of t

POPSCourt overturns Exxon $2.5bn fine It's important to have your men on the Supreme Court. It's at times like these that having 'friends' in high places pays off in spades. A $2.bn savings. Sure a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, as we say over here. What's a lit bit of old fashioned I'll scratch yours if you'll scratch mine type corruption between friends. Sure aren't they dealing with corruption everyday. What's $2.bn. Change to these crooks really. And anyway, who lost out. Just a few victimless crimes and desperate fishermen. They're used to it by now. Roll on until the next spillage.

POPSGospel of Judas - 2 I was asked to watch the National Geographic movie; I did and found this web site. I think the Gospel of Judas reveals how an ancient text in very bad shape (15% is missing ) still has the ability to say something authoritative to this age. Although 15 out of every 100 words are not there the Gospel of Judas… suggests new insights into the disciple who betrayed Jesus. strengthens the claim that there was a Jesus, disciples, a Judas, authorities, an arrest, a crucifixion, etc. affirms the Gnostic teaching that the body is evil, the spirit good and that the spirit is locked up in the prison of the body. All of these assertions we are to believe based on a text written hundreds of years after the fact. Could this line of reasoning apply to other Gospel accounts like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John for instance? What National Geographic would have us believe is… that we can learn something substantial from corrupt texts that we can learn someth

POPSWhat the Gospel of Judas really says
The real kicker Several of the translation choices made by the society's scholars fall well outside the commonly accepted practices in the field. For example, in one instance the National Geographic transcription refers to Judas as a "daimon," which the society's experts have translated as "spirit." Actually, the universally accepted word for "spirit" is "pneuma " - in Gnostic literature "daimon" is always taken to mean "demon." Likewise, Judas is not set apart "for" the holy generation, as the National Geographic translation says, he is separated "from" it. So what does the Gospel of Judas really say? It says that Judas is a specific demon called the "Thirteenth." In certain Gnostic traditions, this is the given name of the king of demons - an entity known as Ialdabaoth who lives in the 13th realm above the earth. Judas is his human alter ego, his undercover agent in the world. These Gnostics equated Ialdabaoth with the Hebrew Yahweh, whom they saw as a jealous and wrathful deity

POPSSecret of Horror Writer's Lineage Broken - Stephen King and Son, Joe Hill Mar 17, 7:31 PM (ET) By JERRY HARKAVY Joe Hill knew it was only a matter of time before one of the publishing industry's hottest little secrets became common knowledge. He just wished he could have kept it under wraps a bit longer. But when Hill's fantasy-tinged thriller, "Heart-Shaped Box," came out last month, it was inevitable that his thoroughbred blood lines as a writer of horror and the supernatural would be out there for all to see. After 10 years of writing short stories and an unpublished novel under his pen name, Hill knows that the world is now viewing him through a different prism - as the older son of Stephen King.
