text: Latest Video Missing or murdered? Erdogan dares Saudi Arabia to produce Jamal Khashoggi (Video) The Duran – News in Review – Episode 128. Published 2 weeks ago on October 9, 2018 By Alex Christoforou 1,479 Views Share Tweet Is Erdogan calling out a Saudi lie and possible brutal murder of an exiled journalist? The Turkish President is calling on Saudi Arabia to prove that journalist Jamal Khashoggi is still alive, and that he left the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, alive and well. Erdogan said that the burden lies with Saudi Arabia to prove that missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi is still alive and had left the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, as the Saudi officials claim. Speaking at a news conference in Budapest, the Turkish President said… "Mere words are not enough evidence"… "We have to get an outcome from this investigation as soon as possible. The consulate officials cannot save themselves by simply saying 'he has left'." "We have been working on it since they came to us, our intelligence and police department have been working on it. Our aim is to reach a conclusion. We look at the media and see various reports that make us think about it. We have to get a conclusion as soon as possible." Commenting for the first time since Khashoggi went missing, Erdogan told reporters… "I am following the issue, and we will inform the world of the outcome of the official probe, which was launched on Saturday." "God willing we will not be faced with a situation we do not want." Erdogan noted that he hoped to have the results "very quickly" over the incident involving a "journalist I knew for a long time" and a "friend". The Turkish President said that CCTV footage of entrances and exits at the Saudi consulate and the airport in Istanbul were being studied by Turkish police. The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the case of the missing or murdered Jamal Khashoggi, and what this means for an already tense relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Via The Middle East Eye… Turkish President Recep Tayyip Turkish officials told Reuters over the weekend that they believed Khashoggi had been killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, while a senior adviser to Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey had "concrete information" on the abduction of the Washington Post columnist. A senior Turkish police source told Middle East Eye that police believed that Khashoggi was "brutally tortured, killed and cut into pieces" inside the consulate after visiting the building on 2 October. However, Erdogan – who said he was personally following the case – said Turkey had no documents or evidence at hand regarding the case. A source told MEE on Monday that a Turkish forensics team was poised to enter the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Yasin Aktay, a former MP for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the man Khashoggi told his fiancee to call if he did not emerge from the consulate, voiced concerns over the Saudi national's whereabouts. Speaking to CNN Turk, Aktay said that Khashoggi's friends had told him to not go to the Saudi embassy and that the consulate was "not safe". "His friends had warned him [Khashoggi], 'Do not go there, it is not safe,' but he said they [the Saudis] could not do anything in Turkey," said Aktay. "Khashoggi discussed whether to go there with his fiancee beforehand. Our security officials are investigating the issue in every detail. We have some concrete information; it won't be an unsolved crime. "We could determine his entrance but not any exit. That's confirmed. We asked them [the Saudis], they say 'he left,' but there is no such thing on the camera footage. "That's underestimating Turkey. They are wrong if they think Turkey is as it was in the '90s. The consulate should make a clear statement." According to Reuters, "the initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate," one Turkish official told Reuters. The sources did not say how they believed the killing was carried out. Saudi Arabia's consul-general told Reuters on Saturday his country was helping search for Khashoggi, and dismissed talk of his possible abduction. Via The Middle East Eye… Khashoggi's fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, said on Twitter she was "waiting for an official confirmation from the Turkish government to believe" the claims. In his newspaper columns, Khashoggi has been critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's policies and Riyadh's intervention in the war in Yemen. A legal representative from Khashoggi's family in Saudi Arabia said they trusted Saudi authorities and were cooperating with them, according to al-Arabiya news. In a statement on Sunday, Mutasem Khashoggi, the legal adviser to the Khashoggi family in Saudi Arabia, told al-Arabiya news that he believed external parties were using his brother's disappearance to "push their agenda". The Washington Post late on Sunday said the United States should "demand answers" from Riyadh on Khashoggi's disappearance – and punish the kingdom if it becomes clear the journalist was indeed murdered. "The United States must now make a concerted effort to determine all the facts about Mr Khashoggi's disappearance," the Post wrote in an editorial. The US must "demand answers, loud and clear," the paper said. The editorial noted that the Trump administration has made great efforts to build ties with Mohammed bin Salman, and should now use the relationship as leverage. "If the crown prince does not respond with full cooperation, Congress must, as a first step, suspend all military cooperation with the kingdom," it said. US President Donald Trump broke several days of silence on Monday, saying he was "concerned" about reports on Khashoggi's disappearance. "I am concerned about it. I don't like hearing about it," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Hopefully that will sort itself out. Right now nobody knows anything about it." His comments came after several prominent US lawmakers also expressed their own concerns. US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted on Monday that it was "imperative" to find out what happened to Khashoggi. "Honest answers must be forthcoming for the sake of the Saudi-US relationship," he wrote. Graham also said that if allegations of Saudi wrongdoing prove true, "it would be devastating to the US-Saudi relationship and there will be a heavy price to be paid – economically and otherwise". Bob Corker, another Republican senator and chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said he personally raised the issue of Khashoggi's disappearance with the Saudi ambassador. "And while we await more information, know we will respond accordingly to any state that targets journalists abroad," Corker tweeted on Monday afternoon. Another Republican senator, Marco Rubio, also tweeted on Sunday that he was concerned by the reports of Khashoggi's disappearance and called on the government to respond: I pray Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is alive. But if this deeply disturbing news report is confirmed, the United States & the civilized world must respond strongly, and I will review all options in Senate. https://t.co/LzrKiRveRp — Senator Rubio Press (@SenRubioPress) October 7, 2018 Liked it?

I remember two decades ago Saddam Hussein's two sons in laws returning from Jordan to Iraq a few months after they have escaped to Jordan and asked for asylum there and were openly briefed by the CIA. Then they were foolishly persuaded by Sadam's people to return to Iraq and were murdered there a few days after they returned. This Jamal Kashoggi did the same thing by returning to the Saudi embassy in Turkey, he should NEVER have done that, he should have known better! He acted like a dumb-ass!

Published 12 hours ago on October 22, 2018 By Nicholas Sampsidis I don't wish to dine with a Clinton Snowflake. And a Clinton Snowflake would rather see me off to San Quentin, the Deplorable that I am. Something happened under Obama-Clinton rule that has never happened before, not even in the heat of passions culminating in the Civil War. The country polarized, splitting into two groupings. Forever. Obama's, Grand Canyon divide was cemented, subsequently, by Clinton's "Deplorables" gaff interpreted as disdain and disrespect for the working, one-half of the country. Millions of Americans will never accept her and her Snowflakes and vice versa. "Never say never," it's said, often enough. But, this time, "never," is an unequivocal: "Never!" Quite simply, the Obama-Clinton regime politicized that which should never be politicized, namely, core beliefs and values, starting with God. Debate is one thing, but the regime followed up with direct and indirect actions, which some writers call rainbow fascism. "You won't bake a wedding cake for two gays out of some fossilized belief in scripture? We'll shut you down." The regime's aggression against the Church, the family, and the infant in the womb is dynamite inserted into the foundation on which the country stands. Along with compassion and sensitivity to opposing views, compromise used to help mend political wounds. It allowed the nation to move on after an election. However, when religious tenets are challenged by a political Party with executive order power, the door on possible compromise slams shut. Obama-Clinton politicized the sacred and the Holy, a big no-no considering that politics divide. It wasn't done out of ignorance, disrespect, or plain arrogance. It was a conscience, systematic attack by the Godless against God-fearing Christians. God either exists or He doesn't – no compromise, here. That is, "He might exist," placates neither the believer nor the atheist. The Bible is either the Word of God as delivered through His prophets or it isn't. No compromise possible. Abortion-on-demand is another issue without compromise considering the commandment: Thou shalt not kill (murder). There is also common sense compassion, which makes us human and says that abortion is wrong. You're either for murder of the defenseless or against it. A partial birth abortion, despite the insinuation of compromise in the term, is actually a viler variant of infanticide because it's performed in the last trimester, at 5-7 months. The well-developed, living infant is pulled out of the womb, legs first. The medical executioner then plunges a probe with a catheter into the living brain in order to suction out a bloody slurry and collapse the skull. Is it murder of the defenseless or a "woman's right" as Snowflakes call it? Clinton claims: "Fetuses feel no pain and have no rights." Curiously, Himmler leaned on a nearly identical contention to justify ghoulish, medical experiments on pregnant women in Konzentrationslager. Is there a difference? Indeed, there is. Clinton is a woman, making her serial murders more of a monstrosity. The Holy Bible is either the Word of God or it isn't. It's not a book to be adapted to one's whims or sexual lusts. Scripture strictly condemns male homosexuality in at least three passages and, implicitly, in some one-half dozen others. Nonetheless, Obama-Clinton attached the promotion of LBGTq-ism to the Democratic plank, overriding scripture. Clinton informed one audience that Christians would have to change their beliefs on some issues. Hold on! "I'm getting my musket," as more than one American has said. I used to enjoy dialogue. But a sour aftertaste remains from the last time that I waded, innocently enough, into an after-dinner, back-and-forth. The topic was the upcoming primaries. Dodging a flurry of leftism hooks from a New York Cityite at a Hamptons hideaway, I smiled through early-round attacks recalling how Mohammed Ali used to taunt opponents and cockroaches until they lost their cool. It worked. My opponent promptly tangled himself up in the ropes of his emotions. It became apparent, in the ensuing minutes, that the Achilles heel of the Left was the absence of a viable candidate. That is, one who could be liked – a leader with charisma with a realistic chance winning. Hillary was the only figure looming big on the horizon. After flying about on her crooked broom, peddling influence and laundering bloody cash from terrorism-sponsoring sheiks, wads of cash stuffed her Pampers. The Wicked Witch of the West, as victims of her foreign policy still address her, apparently, had it all. Except likeability. Or, something new to offer millions of working Americans beyond the scandals, a world in flames, and the same old corrupt things, starting with her foundation, which kept the cash but forgot Hattian children. Deep-down inside, my opponent knew that getting excited about Hillary would be a daunting task. It's precisely Hillary's inability to generate enthusiasm that eventually metamorphosed into, "What Happened?" It wasn't Russia; it wasn't the dog that ate her homework. As Secretary of State, Clinton's role in creating and sponsoring head-choppers, baby burners, and heart-eating fanatics in ISIS's jumpsuits was already well-established for anyone who was interested in looking beyond the hyaluronic acid smile and the praise of her attendant, media handlers. Propagandists led by CNN and MSNBC did their best to sequester her "Arab Spring" fiascos. Her ties and support of the Muslim Brotherhood, apparently, inspired by live-in aide and right-hand woman, Huma Abedin were off limits for the press. Lesbian lover or not, the real issue is the between-the sheets confidences of one woman, holding one of the highest positions in the US Government and another with connections to jihadist circles inspired by Sayyid Qutb, the godfather of al Qaeda. What would have been made of it by the press if Trump had a mistress whose grandfather was Osama bin Laden? Clinton's connivance, her intrigue, and her use of the sword to overthrow foreign governments constituted the essence of her foreign policy. Now, the rich, sweet thing is crying over supposed, Russian interference that she claims cost her the election! No proof of Russian involvement has been found, despite massive efforts and the wasteful expenditure of millions of dollars. Even so, in her warped sense of reality, it's inconceivable that American voters chose a vulgar, thrice-married, casino operator who trash talks instead of her. Curiously, it was Christians, in particular – Catholics, Protestants and the Orthodox – fearing a de facto Obama third term, who voted in droves for Trump. Jonathon Van Maren writes: "…Christians are having conversations around the dinner table about what do if the government forces curricula on them that they cannot accept, because their own government is increasingly indicating that Christian parents are too homophobic and too hateful to teach their own children." Fear is setting in at both ends of the political spectrum. Meltdown, weep-in snowflakes fear Trump yet he and Christians are not forcing the LGBTq groupings etc., to make lifestyle changes. In contrast, Obama-Clinton's Rainbow Fascism demands core value changes, or else! It's already ruining the lives of those who cannot compromise religious tenets. What's next? Obviously, children must be taken away from homophobic and irresponsible parents. It's already happening in Norway and Sweden. Curiously, WaPo's entire editorial board endorsed her. Isn't endorsement of Clinton's terrorism by proxy tantamount to being a terrorist? Can WaPo be trusted, again? Another liberally slanted paper, the NY Times largely swept Clinton's sordid past under the carpet, with about 90 percent of its articles casting her in a positive light. In contrast, it was open season on Republicans and, soon enough, on Trump. "Considering her international war crimes record, if you vote for her, as I'm sure you'll end up doing, you're going to be an accomplice. Of terrorism," I sighed. "So unfriend me now, please." Swinging, aimlessly – now, a bug in my web – my opponent's accusations turned Archie-Bunker-personal – "You're a SOB, M#*/!er. All you do is criticize but you haven't done squat! Do something in the community instead of blaming everything on Obama and Clinton. "Some time ago, I saw little, practical sense in it," I replied. "That is, in wasting time to change the system." If it was ever possible to improve matters on a local level, those days are gone. Plato, Socrates and Aristotle did not consider the rule of money to be compatible with democracy. After three, consecutive, two-term geniuses steering the US Titanic – Clinton, Bush, Obama – the scraping sounds of hitting the iceberg are all-too-audible. The mass media orchestra plays on yet the waterline has reached the nation's gunwales. "Sorry, trends are apparent enough. Liberty, freedom of expression – all on the wane. Government as well as media controls are tightening! Prisons are full. Stalin has been outdone. His maximum Gulag stay was 15 years regardless of the charge. What's ours? A life sentence for being in a romantic relationship with a drug smuggler? Common sense is being pushed aside by nonsense. Sorry, I find little sense building sandcastles at ebbtide." My opponent had had enough. Spilling whisky to get away from me, he spewed more venom and parted the room. Forever. CLICK HERE to Support The Duran >> Liked it?

Published 12 hours ago on October 22, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch We are in a propaganda war unlike anything anyone ever expected in the United States. As recently as the 1970's and 1980's, the common knowledge even among young elementary school students was that the Government of the United States cannot restrict the operation of a free press. Freedom of speech was taught and vaunted as one of our most precious rights, and the Soviet Union's history of oppression was the catalyst by which love of the right of free speech was protected. Do not let go of this freedom, or we will become like them, we were told. But the most recent couple of years we are seeing media control in very clear obvious ways. On October 11, Facebook's internal news site noted that it was removing what it calls "inauthentic news sites": 11 October 2018 Removing Additional Inauthentic Activity from Facebook Today, we're removing 559 Pages and 251 accounts that have consistently broken our rules against spam and coordinated inauthentic behavior. Given the activity we've seen — and its timing ahead of the US midterm elections — we wanted to give some details about the types of behavior that led to this action. Many were using fake accounts or multiple accounts with the same names and posted massive amounts of content across a network of Groups and Pages to drive traffic to their websites. Many used the same techniques to make their content appear more popular on Facebook than it really was. Others were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate. But on October 20th, with this information known, Google searches on "Facebook fake news midterm" elections first revealed absolutely nothing any earlier than August, and nothing related to the recent developments in October. CLICK HERE to Support The Duran >> In research for this piece, one known article on The Duran was found and brought up. By use of the specific search term "removing additional inauthentic activity from Facebook", we were then able to get the Facebook news page. Subsequent searches on "Facebook midterms fake news" revealed quite a different response: Oh! There it is! But several Google searches made before directly fingering the information yielded nothing, just as though the news of FB's efforts didn't exist. We already know that Facebook has a core corporate culture that leans left. We also know that many groups have been removed for suspicions of being dishonest or fake news. What we may not get is how well intertwined the majority of information services on the Internet are, and how they cooperate to manage information. Google was the search engine used in this research. And indeed, the big four major purveyors of information and social media are Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. These sites are so widely used that they are easy to consider the first stop, the last stop and the only stop for anyone seeking information from the Internet about anything. The absence of a search result is often enough to lead one to believe the story doesn't really exist, or that it is a rumor. After all, if it is real news it must be on Google, right? Wrong. This would seem to fly in the face of the First Amendment, but it doesn't, because the Amendment applies only to a limit of powers on the Federal Government. It cannot touch private industry, and indeed, the First Amendment actually protects the rights of individuals and companies to make any statements they wish, or to not make them. Think of it this way: A newspaper that supports the conservative party writes and publishes news and opinion in such a manner as to bolster support for that party. The paper and its staff are entirely within their First Amendment rights to do so because the Constitution never said anything about reporting the truth. It only says that the press' freedom cannot be abridged by the government. So if a liberal paper wants to report the same news and give its editorial bias that supports its own causes, it may. There is not a soul in government that can stop them. But the owners of the company can. However, those owners and editors can certainly be influenced by hidden efforts. While there is no law restricting free speech in the US, there is certainly a lot of power and money that can accomplish the same thing. A sweetheart deal between a company CEO and his or her senator or congressman can subtly change the balance. There is no law to break involved here, though such efforts can rightly be called "collusion." Collusion happens all the time, though, and it is always a cooperative effort so there is very little that can be done to stop it. It is not illegal in most situations, either. Conservatives know this. They have seen the slant of mainstream media lean unerringly to the side of secular humanism, suppression or humiliation of traditional values and lifestyles, and the crazy, psychotic mixture of pacifism or warmongering as best suits the desires of the Left. We have observed this in stark fashion just this year, as critics hysterically railed at President Trump for his tough stance with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and as they hysterically railed at President Trump for going against his promise to get out of Syria, and then again for not attacking them, and sanctioning Russia even more. The reasoning behind the Left's attacks was simple: If Mr. Trump wanted it, they didn't. This is simple reasoning, indeed but it is also hysterical reasoning, which means it is insane. The most recent outburst of media control came during the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination and confirmation events. The eleventh-hour attacks alleging that Brett Kavanaugh was a drunken would-be rapist and the testimonies of Dr Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnik were reported with a heavy emphasis on "believe the women" and they were also tailored for a time to target Judge Kavanaugh for his anger in his response, with CNN heads saying that this anger shows that the Judge is unhinged. Conservative media efforts to give the truth to this story were certainly going full force on Fox News and with conservative media hosts like Rush Limbaugh, but they were heading for failure. The reason for this was that the conservative arguments were not fielded on mainstream media, so they were not heard or read. The Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation might not have gone through because of this. But one move saved this nomination. President Trump began talking about it in his rallies, which the media had to cover. When Mr. Trump noted in clear language that none of these allegations were corroborated by anyone, most significantly the named witnesses of Dr Ford's, the widespread dissemination of that news (because the press had no choice) helped turn that debacle into the nothing-burger it always was. When news gets around that someone is trying to suppress a story, that often can result in the story getting much bigger. Social media networks have to give the appearance of fairness, after all, and refusing to report a huge story because it runs counter to the political opinion of the network is a risk no network (except maybe CNN) is willing to take. The First Amendment means the government cannot control our news media. But this also means that the responsibility lies with the American people to control it, to uphold its freedom and to uphold the freedom of speech, be it risky or offensive or politically perilous. There is a good reason for that need. The most risky, offensive and politically perilous pieces of news are quite often the truth. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 12 hours ago on October 22, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch This piece is reprinted almost entirely from its original posting on orthochristian.com. We hope it offers a clear perspective that shared across the Orthodox Christian world regarding the recent moves by the Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, in regards to the legitimization of two canonically schismatic church communities in Ukraine. A note for US or Western European readers:While Western culture regards church affairs as something middling at best, and "not in touch with the 'real world'", the Orthodox Christian world takes the opposite view. These matters of how the Church's faith and practice are handled are extremely important to millions of believers. The aforementioned actions are profoundly difficult events for Orthodox Christians and have great repercussions that extend into the geopolitical realm of secular politics. It is for this reason that this story is being followed closely on The Duran.Recently, Metropolitan Archbishop Amfilohije of Montenegro gave an interview with Russian Channel One about the decision of the Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew I of Constantinople, to grant canonical status to two schismatic communities in Ukraine, pursuant to the creation of a national Ukrainian independent Orthodox Church in that region.This particular set of events also has a geopolitical basis, as the reader will discover as they peruse the interview. Any emphasis in bold is added strictly for the ease of comprehension. The decisions of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew and his Synod concerning the Ukrainian issue, are, in my opinion catastrophic, both for the Patriarchate of Constantinople, and for resolving the Church question in Ukraine, as well as for the unity of the Orthodox Church. We in our Church are simply shocked at how the Ecumenical Patriarch—an expert on the canons—made such a decision, which is without a doubt uncanonical," said His Eminence Amfilohije, Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, and Brda, Archbishop of Cetinje, and Exarch of the Throne of Peć in an interview with the Russian Channel One. Commenting on the canonical aspects of the latest decision of the Patriarch of Constantinople and his Synod, Archbishop Amfilohije explained that the Patriarch of Constantinople "in this decision refers, as other bishops of the Patriarchate of Constantinople have recently referred to, the right to appeal to the Patriarch of Constantinople from other Local Churches. This is the so called "Ekkliton."[1] The body of the interview follows, with all the text except the Interviewer being the speech of Met. Amfilohije: Whenever a problem arises in any of the Local Churches between individual bishops, it is alleged that they have the possibility of appealing to Constantinople, and then Constantinople could make its decision on the matter. "However, do they actually have this right of appeal? Especially in the spirit in which Denisenko applied to it now? The Ecumenical Patriarch validates this with some historical facts, and certain Church canons. For example, the 9th, 17th, and 28th Canons of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, which were written in antiquity, and therefore, which relate to the status of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and its role at that time. "On what basis then, was this right given? First of all, this right concerns the Metropolises under the canonical administration of the Patriarch of Constantinople. It did not apply to the whole Church. Secondly, this right is based on the canons of the Ecumenical Council, according to which the Ecmenical Patriarch received this status as the Bishop of the City of Byzantium—Constantinople—on the grounds that this city, in which this bishop is located, is the Imperial City—the residence of the emperor and the Imperial Council. "Now, however, the imperial capital no longer exists. Constantinople ceased to be the imperial capital in 1453. And therefore, this right to which the Patriarch of Constantinople is referring is questionable. The Orthodox Church does not question its status as the first in honor in the Orthodox church, but this does not give him the right to interfere in this way in the life of any other Local Church, including the Russian Orthodox Church. "The Patriarch is referring here to a certain decision in 1686, in which by economia[2] the right to ordain (appoint) the Metropolitan of Kiev was given to the Patriarch of Moscow, provided that the Metropolitan of Kiev commemorates the Constantinople Patriarch first at the Liturgy. "However, Kievan Rus'[3], and Vladimir Rus'[4], and Muscovite Rus'[5] were one and the same Rus' at that time; so it is impossible to separate Kievan Rus from Muscovite or Vladimir Rus'. "300 years have passed since then, and Constantinople had never raised the question that it had ecclesiastical authority in Ukraine. He first raised this question just now, and it is absolutely impossible to accept. "I am amazed at how the negative reaction of all the Local Churches did not stop him; the ancient Patriarchates of the East—Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch. The Patriarch of Antioch was just recently with us. I am sure that he will give his assessment. "[The Patriarch of Alexandria] recently visited Odessa, and spoke there, together with the Metropolitan of the Polish Orthodox Church, who also quite clearly expressed his opinion. "In general, all the Local Churches—and our Local Church—expressed at a council, a very documented letter in connection with this issue. Constantinople did not respond to our letter concerning this. "Our Patriarch just met with the Ecumenical Patriarch in Thessaloniki. Our Patriarch gave him the position of our Church, and unfortunately, Constantinople answered as they answered. "As it is, however, this decision, as I have already said, is catastrophic, including for the resolution of this important issue of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. It does not solve this question, but only complicates it. It creates a radical problem of interference in the life of another Local Church, and not only for the Russian Church, but for absolutely everyone. "This at the same time calls into question the very unity of Orthodoxy. This has already affected Orthodoxy, especially the Orthodox diaspora, after that the conferences of Orthodox Bishops. According to my information, the bishops in Latin America already refuse to participate in pan-Orthodox conferences, and its going the same way in Europe[6]. I am sure that this will happen in the USA. It has partially already begun. "But the role of the first among the patriarchs is not to separate the others, but to unite. "By such actions, the Patriarch of Constantinople in fact separates. He does not solve this problem, but only pushes the problem deeper into the Orthodox Church. "Recently, a lot has been said about the interference in the internal affairs of the Orthodox Church by the great world powers. Can you elaborate on which powers people are talking about, and what these power are trying to accomplish? "Now it is seen in Ukraine itself. It is in fact the Ukrainian government that is the main player in the question of granting autocephaly to a Ukrainian church[7]. It should not be overlooked that the state would previously intervene—in other words, there was cooperation, the so called "symphonia" of the state and the Church in Orthodoxy. "But in those days, this was with regards to Christian states, and Christian rulers. In those days, the state itself defended the Orthodox Christian faith. Rulers, from the Byzantine Emperor to the Tsar of Moscow, to our kings were Orthodox Christians. The statutes of Montenegro even prescribed that the successor of King Nikola I would be an Orthodox Christian. "Now, everything is different. These are all secular states, especially those created after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So the Soviet Union gave birth to these contradictions within the Russian nation, within the Slavic peoples of the former Russian Empire. The theme of a so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church[8] didn't appear only now. It arose with the creation of Ukraine by the Soviet authorities in the 1920s. It was then that this topic appeared. "Then the so-called "Self-Sanctifiers[9]" arose, who declared themselves Metropolitans of Kiev. "And the [legitimate] Metropolitan of Kiev—Antony (Khrapovitsky), who was buried in Belgrade, was then a candidate for the position of Patriarch of Moscow. Having fallen asleep in the Lord in 1936, he along with more than thirty bishops were forced to leave Russia, and our Local Church helped them to create what was called the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, which still exists today. This Church recently reunited with the Moscow Patriarchate. "So it's one thing—contemporary states, modern authority—and a totally different thing—the time when Constantinople was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, or when Moscow was the capital of the Russian Empire, as the successor of the Byzantine Empire. "But this epoch, the epoch of the symbiosis of the Church and State, the so-called "Constantinian Age," began with Emperor St. Constantine the Great, and it ended—in my, and not only in my opinion—with the murder of the Imperial Family in 1918. "In other words, this imperial period of Christianity is dogmatically fixed in the West in the person of the Bishop of Rome—the Supreme Pontiff. In the East, it was and remains a temptation. "However, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, there was no longer a Byzantine Emperor, who previously provided the Bishop of Constantinople with the status that he had possessed since the time of Emperor Constantine. "And then this role of the Byzantine Empire passed through Kiev, and Vladimir, to Moscow—that is to say—to the Russian Tsars. But the Russian Tsar and his family were murdered in 1918. And this completed the epoch of Constantine in the history of the Church. It has ended. "And now the Church must return to the pre-imperial structure, without imitating what was in past centuries, when there was a symbiosis of the state, Church, nation. It must return to the structure that existed before Emperor Constantine, respecting everything that has happened since then, but not being limited to historical experience. "Thus, the first Rome fell away from the faith, the Second Rome fell, disappearing in 1453, and after the murder of the Imperial Family, the Third Rome had already lost that place in the life of the Church it had occupied in past centuries. Therefore, the way the Church lived and functioned in the imperial period should be left to the past. "From this point of view, Constantinople committed what it had no right to do. "First of all, this state—Ukraine—is the fruit of Leninist-Stalinist communist secularism. And this situation for the people of Ukraine, the Christian people is also the result of the unleashing of the Unia[10] on Ukrainians of the 16th century, and what happened with these people in the 1920s. "It is necessary to keep in mind the meaning of the name itself—Ukraine (Ukraina). It is similar to our word Kraina: a krai / borderland[11]. The question is—the edge or border of what? On the one hand, Kiev was the former Mother Church of the Russian Church, then its center moved to Vladimir (during the period of Vladimir Rus') and then to Moscow. "It is this continuum of the Orthodox Church in Russia, which begins in Kiev, passes through Vladimir, and then ends in Moscow. This is an uninterrupted succession. So what point is there to now appeal to a status that existed in the 15th or 16th century? The Ukrainian question today cannot be resolved on that basis. "In reality, it must be resolved on the basis of the modern structure of this state—a secular state, not dissimilar to all the modern secular states in the West. It's a fundamentally different relationship between a state and a nation, moreover no longer a 'Christian nation;' a similar problem has now manifested itself in Macedonia. "There, the secular authorities, the communists, also created a so-called Macedonian Orthodox Church. The communists, the heirs of the Tito regime, tried here too, in Montenegro, to create a so-called Montenegrin Orthodox Church. The authorities of Montenegro killed 129 priests here during the communist time; the communist authorities killed the Metropolitan of Montenegro Joanikije. "It was these authorities who were first to raise the question of the so-called autocephalous Montenegrin Orthodox Church. The godless authorities, the atheistic powers, the secular authorities in a secular state, where the Church is separate from the state, are interfering in the internal affairs of the Church. The same thing is happening in Ukraine, and in other countries that emerged after the Bolshevik revolution. "The Church should try to unite society, and thereby solve this painful issue for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. "There, under the guise of the "Ukrainian Church," there exist the so-called Uniates—the Greek Catholics—and then the so-called Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church, and the self-proclaimed "church" of the "Kiev Patriarchate." "For the first time, Constantinople, on the basis of the alleged "right to appeal" (ekkliton)[12], the right to receive appeals in this way is interfering with the life of another Local Church, even over 300 years after Constantinople's ecclesiastical jurisdiction over Ukraine ended. "Thus, there is talk about these events as being an absolutely incomprehensible phenomenon. Until this very moment I still hope there is an opportunity to refrain from granting this Tomos, which cannot be issued without the consent of the canonical Church. "Constantinople [previously] recognized only the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate as the canonical Church in Ukraine. But now, Constantinople has recognized bishops who were deposed from their positions and excommunicated from one of the Local Orthodox Churches. It's simply inconceivable that the Ecumenical Patriarch could have gone through with this. "As for these interventions, and I'd like to say that these are not only those from the Ukrainian authorities themselves, but it is clear that these interventions are directed against Russia, and in fact—against Orthodoxy. "They were able to separate everyone in these krais[13] (borderlands/marches).[14] Only the Orthodox Church remained united. Now these forces, the demonic forces of this entire world are striving in the end to divide the Orthodox Church. For this they managed to use the ancient Church of Constantinople to apply a canon that belonged to it back in imperial times. "In the battle for Ukraine—that is to say for undermining the foundation of Russia—the hand of America is visible. "They speak about the supposed "Russian intervention," but how can Russia intervene if Russia itself was born there? Kievan Rus' was born there, and continuously developed for 1030 years. The fact that the Western powers, the EU, and above all, America are fueling and supporting fratricidal wars, as they did against us Serbs in Kosovo, reveals that what is happening in Ukraine is the second act of the tragedy of Kosovo: A group of evil-doers and criminals, who dishonor the worthy Albanian folk, have been made the rulers of Kosovo, and they recognized the so-called independent Kosovo—and the Orthodox Church of God, our age-old culture, and the Serbian people were expelled from there. "What the communists began[15], the NATO bloc continued with their bombings of Serbia and Montenegro. "What began in Russia with the arrival of the Bolsheviks and the assassination of the Imperial Family now brings such bitter fruit. I regret that the Patriarch of Constantinople did not understand how deep and serious these problems are. "He went forth with good intentions—to unite—only this isn't the road of unification, but only the deepening of the difficulties that seized Ukraine, as well as the creation of a deep schism in the Orthodox Church—which undoubtedly will not bring forth any good fruits if these efforts are continued. "And this applies not only to Russians and Ukrainians, but also to us [Serbs]. After all, Denisenko[16]was the only one to recognize our Miraš Dedeić,[17] whom the Patriarch of Constantinople deposed and anathematized. "We relayed this to the Patriarch of Constantinople, but he has of yet not answered this question. Of course, he does not recognize Dedeić, but by this act—by accepting as a canonical organization those who support all kinds of schisms in other locations—it involuntarily strengthens schisms that undermine the unity of the Orthodox Church.[18] "And furthermore, this is all based on ethnophyletism,[19] which was previously condemned by the Church. Even the Cretan Council (it's a pity that the Moscow Patriarchate wasn't present, but despite this, it's decisions remain valid) confirmed the decisions of this great council in 1872, condemning ethnophyletism as heresy and serpentine venom, destroying the unity of the Church. "Constantinople confirmed and signed this decision of a large synod, and now a church is created on the basis of the demands of those formed under the influence of Bolshevism (like Macarius[20]), and now worshipers of Bandera[21]—Ukrainian fascists and former Nazis. "Is this normal? Of course not! Not to mention the fact that Denisenko strove, when he was Ukrainian Metropolitan, for the position of Patriarch of Moscow, and when he was not elected, he declared himself Patriarch [of Kiev]. "Such is his madness. How can this be declared normal, without the consent of the Mother Church? And the Mother Church of Ukraine is not the Patriarchate of Constantinople, but for more than 300 years the Moscow Patriarchate.[22]" [INTERVIEWER]: Not long ago, Milo Đukanović (The President of Montenegro) said that the Russian Orthodox Church is the striking fist of Russian Imperial interests. What did he mean by this? "You'll have to ask him. He probably assumed that the Metropolis of Montenegro, which has existed here for over 800 years, still has connections to the Russian Church and to Russia, as it had for centuries, and especially during the time of Metropolitan Danil. "Were it not for this "Imperial Russia," as he puts it, there would be no Montenegro, neither in 1878, nor later. Russian Emperor Nicholas II saved Serbia and Montenegro in 1915 and 1916, when Montenegro was forced to capitulate, and King Petro with the entire Serbian army retreated through Kosovo to the Albanian coast. Then the Russian Tsar gave an ultimatum to the allies, threatening that if they did not help save the Serbian army (the Austro-Hungarian army was in pursuit of the Serbs), then Russia would conclude a separate peace treaty with Germany and Austro-Hungary. So the allies had to send ships for the Serbs. "If Nicholas II had signed a separate peace treaty, he would not have been assassinated nor would his family have been murdered. The German Kaiser sent Lenin, who conducted a revolution in Petrograd in 1916-17. The Emperor and his family were murdered by the hands of the Bolsheviks, but in fact they were murdered by the Germans. The Imperial Family and tsarist Russia paid with their lives to save their brothers—Serbia and Montenegro." [INTERVIEWER]: So what is this all about; what is this "Imperialist Russia?" "Montenegro, since 1700 and to this moment, was created through the efforts of Russia—it's education, and the entire structure before King Nikola in 1918. The metropolia only continues the tradition. And no form of "Imperialist Russia" is interfering here. Russian Bishops visit us, with whom we recently erected a monument to the Royal Passion-Bearers at Duklevo monastery, on which their faces are carved. This may be the most beautiful monument to the Imperial Family. Is this what he calls imperialism? "I sometimes say these are sanctions of the metropolia against Russia. Mr. Đukanović, in his fight against "Russian imperialism" has become a pawn in the hands of the Western European and American Empires, and the NATO bloc—those who bombed Montenegro, Serbia, and Kosovo, which was part of Montenegro when it was an independent Kingdom. "Now Đukanović recognizes Kosovo, while the Russians tried to save the unity of our nation and state. Unfortunately, Russia was then ruled not by the one who rules today, but by his predecessor, who did not understand this. "Therefore, I do not know what Đukanović implies when speaking of "imperialism." If it's about what I said, then yes. "I would also add further about the decision of Constantinople: This decision is a catastrophe for the Constantinople Patriarchate and for the unity of the Orthodox Church. Therefore, we hope that in the near future, as called for by the Moscow Patriarchate and other Local Churches, which have the full right to do so, we will resolve this issue in a pan-Orthodox format. "The Ukrainian Question cannot be resolved by any single Local Church, because this issue is so extensive that it requires the participation of all Local Churches. This question is more important than all that was discussed at Crete. Therefore, the position of Constantinople is shocking, as he had always turned to other Local Churches (for example, during the schism in the Bulgarian Church in 1994, Constantinople appealed to the representatives of other Local Churches to solve the issue of schism in a canonical way). "And now there has been discussion that based on the Ukrainian precedent—invading the canonical territory of another Local Church—the issue with the Macedonian Orthodox Church could be resolved. "The Ecumenical Patriarchate is prevented from doing so only because of his demand that they abandon the name "Macedonian Orthodox Church" (In Ukraine, the name "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" does not trouble him.[23] He is still a Greek, and I fear that this is how Hellenic ethnophyletism has manifested itself in light of the Macedonian issue. "There is talk that this Macedonia goes back to the time of Alexander the Great and King Philip; that is to say, we are going back to the issue of communist myths. Just like in Montenegro, the neo-communists continue to develop them. They demanded that the Montenegrin Metropolis, that is to say, the Serbian Orthodox Church be re-registered, as if we existed only since yesterday. "A 1987 law requires the registration of only new religious organizations, and not the registration of traditional Churches and religious organizations. But now our neo-communists have began to demand this, and almost begun persecutions. Russian monks and nuns live among us, and priests from the Republika Srpska[24], and from Serbia, and as they are not citizens of Montenegro they do not grant them residence permits. The same approach has been implemented in Macedonia. "The so-called Metropolitan of Montenegro, who was created by the neo-communists—Dedeić—who was deposed by Constantinople, was recognized only by Philaret. For many years he served with him. And what will Constantinople do now if he recognizes Philaret who was deposed for violating the resolutions of the Moscow Patriarchate? Would it not follow that he would have to recognize someone who serves with Philaret, whom Constantinople himself had previously deposed from his position? "This is how poorly our brothers in Constantinople have reasoned. "I pray to the Lord, that He will help them. "And we also pray that the Moscow Patriarchate and our brothers in Ukraine can overcome an unhealthy schism with patience and humility—a schism that is nothing but the fruit of all those political circumstances of the past, especially in the 1920s. "The Church is the only force that united the nations created there, and now the demonic powers of this whole world, and destructive forces inside the Church, and the rulers of the world are carrying out the real imperialistic plans. "The war in Ukraine is already underway, and now Constantinople must confirm that this is in fact a war continuing against the Church, and the unity of the People of God—and against Russia as the largest-ever Orthodox country. "This is not good, and there is nothing good here for Constantinople as well. He had no right to take such a step. There is still hope that people will still turn to reason and to the true canonical order. "As I have already said, by such actions, Constantinople calls into question its primacy. "I reiterate that he justifies his actions by saying that he is in the imperial capital, but that capital ceased to exist after the fifteenth century. It is no longer in Russia nor in Constantinople, and therefore there is no longer a Russian or Eastern Roman Empire, but the Church has remained, and it must function on a healthy evangelical foundation—just as it functioned prior to Emperor St. Constantine."

House, Senate at standoff over vaccines, voter registration billBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
June 19. 2013 9:41AM
CONCORD -- House and Senate negotiators were at a stand-off Tuesday over legislation that would both change the identification requirements for voter registration and also expand the base of entities that pay into a fund that purchases children's vaccines.
The logjam may be broken, however, when another two-pronged bill is dealt with during another committee of conference on Wednesday.
That bill combines a bill that adjusts the state's renewable energy portfolio standards with legislation that would align the state's small group market insurance rules with those of the federal Affordable Care Act.
The four bills are essentially pawns in a chess match being played out by the House and Senate as they approach a Thursday afternoon deadline to sign off on committee of conference reports.
The Democratic-controlled House attached the ACA-insurance bill that both it and Gov. Maggie Hassan want, but was killed by the Senate, to the renewable portfolio standards bill that the GOP Senate desires.
In retaliation, the Senate attached the voter registration provision, which had been earlier killed by the House, to the children's vaccine bill that is a favorite of the House.
At the conference committee meeting Tuesday, Rep. Laurie Harding, D-Lebanon, called the vaccine bill critical.
For about a decade, individual and small group plans have been assessed a fee, which is now $26, to go to the New Hampshire Vaccine Association, a public-private cooperative which in turn purchases vaccines for children.
The vaccine bill would expand the assessment to large group plans and the growing number of self-insured.
Harding said the expanding number of self-insured has resulted in a drop in contributions of about 22 percent. She also said the fund, which she said is a "very reputable and well-known program," could receive an additional $400,000 if the bill is passed.
"One would hope the Senate might reconsider," Harding said.
Rep. Ed Butler, D-Hart's Location, told the Senate conferees, "Even though we understand that voter registration is important to you, you understand it would be impossible for us to support the amendment having already non-concurred. And we ask you to understand the importance of the vaccine bill."
Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, responded that "my renewable portfolio standards bill became the subject of the same" type of maneuver when the House combined it with the ACA-related bill, which it had earlier passed and the Senate had earlier killed.
Bradley said after the meeting the portfolio standards bill is a "very important issue" to the North Country forestry industry.
Also in the mix in the maneuvering is a separate voter ID bill, which remained in limbo Tuesday after committee of conference negotiations broke down on Monday.
Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, said he offered to continue discussion with House conferees on that bill, but he said his offer was rejected.
However, late Tuesday there was a sign that there may be progress on that front with the committee of conference on that bill tentatively set to resume talks.
The separate voter registration bill at issue would change current law, which says, that to register, one must show that he or she is domiciled in New Hampshire. To do that, current law says, one must sign a form acknowledging that he is subject to the laws of the state, "including laws requiring a driver to register a motor vehicle and apply for a New Hampshire's driver's license within 60 days of becoming a resident."
A Superior Court judge ruled last fall the reference to motor vehicle laws caused confusion and ordered the state to remove the language from the voter registration forms before the 2012 election. The question for future elections is still pending before the judge.
The bill passed by the House removed any reference to motor vehicle laws. But the Senate inserted similar, but not identical, language as current law.
The Senate version says a person registering to vote must sign a form acknowledging that he is subject to the laws of the state, including laws that "may" require a driver to register a motor vehicle and apply for a driver's license within 60 days of becoming a resident.
The House non-concurred with that language, saying the difference was irreconcilable. At that point, the Senate attached it to the vaccine bill.
House and Senate conferees are scheduled to negotiate the renewable portfolio standards and the attached ACA bill on Wednesday, and then to resume negotiations on the vaccines expansion and attached voter registration bill, as well as the separate voter identification bill, on Thursday.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — President Barack Obama has a warning these days for young voters: Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to keep you away from the polls.
Nothing illegal. More like suppression by depression.
Tucked into his campaign speeches, Obama regularly asserts that the Republican presidential nominee and the outside political machinery supporting him want to get voters so down and disillusioned that they will decide their votes don't matter.
The message is not so much that such apathy would be bad for democracy, but that it would be bad for Obama. The president's advantage among young voters will be eroded if they get so turned off by it all that they have no compelling reason to vote.
"But understand, over the next two months, the other side is going to spend more money than we've ever seen in our lives with an avalanche of attacks ads and insults, and making stuff up, just making stuff up," Obama told roughly 13,000 students packed into a quad at the University of Colorado on Sunday.
"And what they're counting on is that you get so discouraged by this that at a certain point you say, 'You know what, I'm going to leave it up to someone else.' ... I'm counting on something different. I'm counting on you."
Left unsaid by the president are the negatives ads run by his campaign under his direct approval.
The support of young voters proved vital to Obama last time, and the Democratic incumbent still needs them. In an Associated Press-GfK poll released recently, 54 percent of registered voters under 35 said they would vote for Obama, compared to 38 percent for Romney. Older voters split about evenly.
For the 2012 version of candidate Obama, the line of criticism is a way to keep hope alive.
Weighed down by a struggling economy, devoid of the fresh change message and historical nature of his last campaign, Obama needs to inspire faith among young adults through not just his policy ideas on education and job opportunities, but with a sharp suggestion that the GOP ticket is aiming to keep them down.
The Obama campaign has gone negative, too, targeting Romney's transparency about his wealth and taxes and raising questions about his honesty. Romney, in response, has gone so far as to tell Obama to take his "campaign of division and anger" back to his hometown of Chicago.
Both campaigns and outside political groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads.
In the states that will determine the election, Obama keeps devoting time to college campuses, as he did Sunday before an outdoor crowd of thousands at the University of Colorado. When he ran in 2008, voter turnout among those 18 to 24 was at its highest level since 1972. No other age group had such an increase.
That is why, with two months to go, Obama at times sounds more like a registrar of voters than commander in chief.
Imploring college students and 20-something adults to back him again, Obama steers them to special campaign websites that will help them register and cast their votes. He even spells out their web addresses for them, letter by letter. When they jeered Romney, Obama said: "Don't boo. Vote."
A Romney spokesman, Ryan Williams, said Obama's charge of trying to make voters disillusioned reflect the same "dirty political tactics" Obama once criticized. Williams said: "Voters will be motivated in November to go to the polls and replace President Obama with a fiscally responsible leader like Mitt Romney."
Romney has also tried to tap into voter discontent, making the pitch to Obama backers that it is OK to be disappointed with him even if they like him.
In 2008, Obama won two-thirds of the vote among college-age adults 18-24 and 18-29 years old, compared with just 32 percent for Republican Sen. John McCain, according to exit polls. Obama's win was dependent on a huge margin among young people, bigger than any candidate has had in modern exit polling.

text: NAMI Blog: PBS, MTV and Jane Pauley May 30 2008 Arlington, VA— The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will honor television journalist Jane Pauley for contributions to public education about mental illness at NAMI's annual convention in Orlando, Florida June 13-16, 2008. NAMI executive director Mike Fitzpatrick made the announcement in his NAMI Blog this week, in which he also discussed the premiere of television documentaries that NAMI has been closely involved with. Both documentaries featured individuals living with mental illness who shared personal stories— much like Pauley, who disclosed her experience with bipolar disorder a few years ago. On May 21, Pauley moderated a discussion by a panel of experts, including NAMI medical director, Ken Duckworth, immediately following the broadcast of the PBS documentary, "Depression: Out of the Shadows." On May 22, MTV profiled NAMI member, Amber Main, 19, in an episode titled "True Life: I Have Schizophrenia," part of the award-winning documentary series that explores issues affecting young people. Dr. Duckworth answered questions about schizophrenia on MTV's production blog. At the NAMI convention in June, people from across the country will meet in Orlando to share their own stories and work towards making recovery real for all Americans.

Summer is the time of bold colors, mixed prints, and so (so) much neon. We won't knock your favorite hues, but allow us to interject a moment of sartorial toughness into a playful season. You can still wear all the metallic hues you love right now, but only if you make sure the clothing, accessories, and shoes you're sporting have July written all over them.

The word good does not described slipknot and his trading behavior. Stupendous would be a far better place to start. Marvelous or Outstanding would be good too. Some would even say he's "Fabalus"

- 599I am an experienced Ebay trader/seller/user, and this was my first AO forum purchase. It was an EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD experience. This seller was awesome in every way. I purchased an Automag Classic Valve from him and the transaction was smooth, he made the whole deal very easy, and shipped promptly. I would definitely do business with him again. A great experience with an exceptional AO forum seller!

Ok so I had a discussion with my friends about which characters suite us alot.They pretty much chose the main protagonist for me.well in most.The character I reminded them of are:Goku,Luffy,Ichigo,Yamamoto Takeshi,Spike,Vash,Jaden Yuki,Nauro,Minato.....Thats about it.
My personality in their eyes:*Had everything listed lol
Im a easy going guy,care free,sociable,energetic,cheerful,loyal,usually has a smile on his face,Likes to argue*like my Zodiac would say diplomatic,im kind but can sometimes get angered,be somewhat impulsive,shy,gets serious in certain situation,calm,can be gloomy,into martial arts,loves to stay active,sometimes lazy.Love peace and hates violence(but will fight if I have too).I only fights to protect and for the fun of it.I do not bother anyone,can be naive but sometimes im smart out of nowhere*insult lol*.My goal is probably to start a martial arts school and to be in movies lol They said I forgive easily.-_-They say i'm somewhat of a good leader.Judging by group work in school.Also I think alot thats why my head big*another insult lol*. Supposedly I literally sit in his room in the dark and think.I strive to win etc.
They try to go off my libra horoscope and the way I present myself^^
They matched my personality to these characters by what I have in some or how I am somedays.Im not always the jolly,cheerful type.But im usually am lol
Do you guys agree on their selections.Just curious:o
Oh yeah tell me who you guys think your connections are.
Huge Noctis fan-.-lol even though his game has not come out:D
Maybe Jiraiya because he is a pervert, but defintly not my favorite charcter.
A lot of characters have traits that remind me of myself, but the one that comes to mind at the moment with a LOT of similar traits and personality is:
Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
He goes from this:
To this over the course of the series:
He's got that funny, flippant, carefree attitude which masks/hides that dark side of him which he doesn't want anyone to see because his past has been hard. He pretends to be happy and cheerful when he has things which are troubling him, that he needs to resolve.
Of course though, in looks we're utterly, completely different and also there's the fact that I'm a girl haha.
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Didn't you post this exact thread on Gaiaonline?
^^ you know that how??? ooo you're a lurker i see
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Hmm.. maybe Oreki Houtarou from Hyouka. He has a lazy, laid back personality, and usually doesnt want to do anything if he doesnt have
too. Have the same personality traits, but I actually join clubs and I'm a little more positive about things than he is. He is my guy self.
"If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick"
Anime OC ~ Jordan Levin
Class clown
But when he sees that his family or friends are in danger he gets serious.
Misogi Kumagawa from Medaka Box, the whole idea of a minus kinda fits. His superpower is being a loser and an asshole, plus he's kinda of a pervert. Even with all that he ends up being a pretty cool guy. I also think Ferral from Gurren Laggan, starts out bad, but works his way into being a better person.
Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya
Never has a character reminded me more of myself than this guy. I love his dry wit and sarcasm.

VANCOUVER, BC – Major League Soccer announced on Thursday that Vancouver Whitecaps FC striker Camilo Sanvezzo has been named the league's Player of the Month for July. The Brazilian becomes the first player in Whitecaps FC MLS history to win the accolade, having picked up the award after a near unanimous ballot from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).
In a month where he received his second MLS Player of the Week award of the season, Camilo scored four goals in five matches to rocket straight to the top of the league's goalscoring charts, currently sitting tied for the league lead with 13 goals this campaign. Camilo also became the second Whitecaps FC player to represent the club at the MLS All-Star game on Wednesday, setting up the lone goal for the league's side against AS Roma.
The 5-foot-7 goalscorer opened the month with a bang, notching Vancouver's tying goal as the 'Caps earned a 1-1 draw away at in-form Sporting Kansas City on July 3. The South American curled an inch-perfect free kick into the top corner and was duly nominated for Goal of the Week for the effort.
On July 14 against Chicago Fire, the red-hot striker ran rampant with two goals to put out the Fire. His first was the historic 100th tally for Whitecaps FC as he expertly brought down a long-ball from Brad Knighton, setting off on a mazy run towards goal before producing a cool finish. For his second, Camilo latched onto a through ball from Kekuta Manneh and, after being foiled by the 'keeper first time around, kept his composure to slot the ball into the far corner.
Against LA Galaxy on July 20, Camilo added to his stats, collecting a neat flick from Russell Teibert before confidently putting the ball past Galaxy 'keeper Carlo Cudicini.
To cap off a stellar month for Vancouver's all-time top-scorer in MLS, Camilo also turned out for the MLS All-Stars as they took on Italian powerhouse AS Roma. Camilo came on in the 24th minute and provided an assist for LA Galaxy's Omar Gonzalez for the All-Stars' only goal of a 3-1 defeat.
Next up for Whitecaps FC is an important Cascadia Cup match against Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field this Saturday, August 3. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live on City, Sportsnet ONE, and Bell mobile devices. 'Caps fans can also listen to Saturday's match live on TEAM 1410 radio and teamradio.ca
The MLS Player of the Month is selected each month of the regular season by a panel of journalists from NASR. The group consists of members of print, television, radio and online media. More information and membership information can be found at soccerreporters.com.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Two women were convicted Thursday of kicking a third woman to death during a fight outside a Santa Ana nightclub.
Candace Brito, 27, and Vanesa Zavala, 26, were found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury for the January attack outside The Crosby in Santa Ana.
Prosecutors said the women kicked Annie Kim Pham in the head while she was on the ground during a fight. Pham, 23, died after being taken off life support two days after the attack.
Superior Court jurors chose to convict the women of the lesser charge instead of second-degree murder, which carried a potential life sentence. Each now faces a sentence of up to 11 years in state prison.
"I told (Brito), 'You don't know this yet, but you won. One day when you get out, sooner rather than later, you'll realize you could have spent the rest of your life in jail,'" her attorney, Michael Molfetta, said after the hearing.
Molfetta said his client and Zavala never intended to kill anyone and should never have faced murder charges.
A forensic pathologist who conducted Pham's autopsy ruled the cause of death was blunt force injury to the head but said it was impossible to tell whether one specific blow or even a combination of blows caused the fatal brain bleeding.
During the trial, Etoi Davenport testified that Pham could have died as a result of being punched or kicked, or from hitting her head on the sidewalk. The pathologist said Pham received six major blows to the head.
Pham's stepbrother, Ken Nguyen, said the family was satisfied with the verdicts.
"We feel for their families, too," Nguyen said of Brito and Zavala.
At a preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Pham and her group of 11 friends were waiting in line to get into the club as Brito, Zavala and several of their friends were exiting. At some point, the groups bumped into each other.
One witness told authorities that Pham started swearing and threw the first punch. Pham's friends told police the three women in the other group attacked Pham without provocation.
Deputy District Attorney Troy Pino said Pham threw the first punch but the kicks to Pham were "cheap shots" taken while she was not a threat.
Jurors were shown cellphone videos of the beating.
Molfetta told jurors that Pham started a fistfight with another woman, Emilia Calderon. He said it wasn't proven that his client — a friend of Calderon's — kicked Pham during scuffling involving several people.
Zavala's attorney, Kenneth Reed, argued that his client didn't kick Pham and that punches from other people might have killed her.

In prayer we go to our enemies, to stand at their side. We are with them, near them, for them before God. Jesus does not promise us that the enemy we love, we bless, to whom we do good, will not abuse and persecute us. They will do so. But even in doing so, they cannot harm and conquer us if we take this last step to them in intercessory prayer. Now we are taking up their neediness and poverty, their being guilty and lost, and interceding for them before God. We are doing for them in vicarious representative action what they cannot do for themselves. Every insult from our enemy will only bind us closer to God and to our enemy. Every persecution can only serve to bring the enemy closer to reconciliation with God, to make love more unconquerable.
How does love become unconquerable? By never asking what the enemy is doing to it, and only asking what Jesus has done. Loving one's enemies leads disciples to the way of the cross and into communion with the crucified one.
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?
My vows to you I must perform, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
and my feet from falling,
so that I may walk before God
in the light of life. Psalm 56:10-13
Name your enemies, picture them in your mind, "stand at their side" before God, pray for them.
Lord of peace and justice, let me not so much want victory over my enemies as true and mutual reconciliation with them.

The General Human Development Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina
This report is an overall status report on post-war BiH as analyzed and presented by Bosnian experts. It has been widely acclaimed as a landmark compendium of the political, social and economic issues facing BiH. During the period of review, the country was going through a multi-faceted transition; from war to peace, from emergency aid to development assistance, from centrally planned economy to free market, and most importantly from socialism to democracy.
Human Development (General)
