This MAY be How Martial Law Begins. An Attack on the White House?

The Elite used al Ikhwan/al Qaeda operatives to do the 9-11 attacks. They MAY be doing the same thing again.

IF the White House is blown up by "terrorists" who would blame Obama and his masters for anything they do?

Here's the story:

Pakistani Taliban threatens attack on White House

By ISHTIAQ MAHSUD, Associated Press Writer Ishtiaq Mahsud, Associated Press Writer 10 mins ago

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan – The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would "amaze" the world.

Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday's attack on the outskirts of the eastern city of Lahore was retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.

"Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world," Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details.

Mehsud has never been directly linked to any attacks outside Pakistan, but attacks blamed on his network of fighters have widened in scope and ambition in recent years. The threat comes days after President Barack Obama warned that al-Qaida is actively planning attacks on the United States from secret havens in Pakistan.

Pakistan's former government and the CIA named Mehsud as the prime suspect behind the December 2007 killing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Pakistani officials accuse him of harboring foreign fighters, including Central Asians linked to al-Qaida, and of training suicide bombers.

In his latest comments, Mehsud identified the White House as one of the targets in an interview with local Dewa Radio, a copy of which was obtained by the AP.

FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said the bureau was not aware of any imminent or specific threat to the U.S., despite what the Pakistani Taliban leader said.

"He has made similar threats to the U.S. in the past," said Kolko.

Mehsud also claimed responsibility for a suicide car bombing that killed four soldiers Monday in Bannu district and a suicide attack targeting a police station in Islamabad last week that killed one officer.

Such attacks pose a major test for the weak, year-old civilian administration of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari that has been gripped with political turmoil in recent weeks.

A senior police investigator in the Lahore case, Zulfikar Hameed, said some of the men arrested in Monday's attack corroborated Mehsud's claim.

"We have got some important leads from them regarding their origin, their network, their local facilitators and things like that," he told Dawn News TV, declining to elaborate.

The gunmen who attacked the police academy killed seven police and two civilians, holding security forces at bay for about eight hours before being overpowered by Pakistani commandos. Some of the attackers wore police uniforms, and they took hostages and tossed grenades during the assault.

Earlier Tuesday, a spokesman from a little-known militant group linked to the Pakistani Taliban also claimed responsibility for the attack and a similar ambush-style attack against the Sri Lankan cricket team earlier this month in Lahore. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the two claims.

Omar Farooq, who said he is the spokesman for Fedayeen al-Islam, said the group would carry out more attacks unless Pakistani troops withdraw from tribal areas near the Afghan border and the U.S. stops its drone strikes. The group previously said it was behind the deadly September bombing of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad that killed 54 people.

Mehsud declined to comment on Fedayeen al-Islam's claim that it carried out the attack or to say whether the group is linked to his own. The Pakistani Taliban leader also said he was not deterred by the U.S. bounty on his head: "I wish to die and embrace martyrdom."

The AP has spoken to Mehsud several times in the past and recognized his voice, and a request for an interview with Mehsud was submitted through his aide. The militant leader also granted phone interviews to other media organizations.

The Pakistani Taliban has links with al-Qaida and Afghan Taliban militants who have launched attacks against U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan from a base in the border region between the two countries.

Pakistan faces tremendous U.S. pressure to eradicate militants from its soil and has launched several military operations in the Afghan border region.

The U.S. has stepped up drone attacks against militants in the area, causing tension with Pakistani officials who protest they are a violation of the country's sovereignty and kill innocent civilians.

Monday's highly coordinated attack highlighted that militants in the country pose a threat far outside the border region. It prompted Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik, Pakistan's top civilian security official, to say that militant groups were "destabilizing the country."

After gunmen stormed the academy, masses of security forces surrounded the compound, exchanging fire in televised scenes reminiscent of the militant siege in the Indian city of Mumbai in November and the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team.

Officials Tuesday were still trying to sort out how many attackers were involved, giving varying accounts to the media.

A senior Lahore police investigator, Zulfikar Hameed, told the AP that three of the attackers blew themselves up when commandos retook the police academy and one was shot by security forces. Hameed said it was difficult to say precisely how many militants carried out the attack and some may have escaped.

Tasneem Qureshi, a top official at the Interior Ministry, told an Express News TV that four attackers were in custody and "one, who was wounded, managed to escape."

Punjab police chief, Khawaja Khalid Farooq, said one of the captured militants had provided useful information and that about 50 other people in Lahore were detained overnight for questioning.

Manditory Service Lives On: Text of H.R.1444 as Introduced in House

The GIVE Bill was weakened due to public pressure: DON'T LET UP!

IT'S BACK!



As a few people covered here and elsewhere, the House and Senate passed the GIVE Act, a new system of so-called volunteerism containing language conducive to mandatory service, specifically for ALL young Americans and then expanding to draft even senior citizens!

I covered this HERE, HERE and HERE.

The final Senate version modified some of the more fascist language due to what this bills calls, "civic challenges." We MUST Challenge this rebirth of those provisions!

You can read it all here: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1444/text or below.

All emphasis' is mine. First the section of greatest concern, then the entire bill.

STAND NOW
OR
BOW LATER!

Note that while the language seems to say that these are merely topics to consider, they are based on the following determination:

"Congress finds the following:

(1) The social fabric of the United States is stronger if individuals in the United States are committed to protecting and serving our Nation by utilizing national service and volunteerism to overcome our civic challenges."

This MEANS that based on this finding, Congress is instructing this commission to determine HOW to enact these things, NOT if they should.

Section 7
(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

This section reveals the intention: MANDATORY SERVICE for all able young people. Related acts have been and will be passed extending this to ALL Americans. Indeed, THIS is stated here as well:

"...if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service."

"... by creating, expanding, and promoting service options for primary and secondary school students..."

"...a training program on college campuses to recruit and educate college students for national service."

"... Whether current Federal volunteer programs are suited to address the special skills and needs of senior volunteers,"

"...Upon request of the Chairperson, the head of any department or agency shall furnish information to the Commission that the Commission deems necessary to enable it to carry out this Act."


Now, here's what the House is now preparing to pass unless We the People STAND:

Text of H.R.1444 as Introduced in House Congressional Commission on Civic Service Act

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

March 11, 2009

Mr. MCDERMOTT (for himself, Mr. MORAN of Virginia, Mr. RUPPERSBERGER, Mr. KENNEDY, and Mr. VAN HOLLEN) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor

A BILL

(2) A more engaged civic society will strengthen the Nation by bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and experiences to work on solutions to some of our Nation’s major challenges.

(3) Despite declines in civic health in the past 30 years, national service and volunteerism among the Nation’s youth are increasing, and existing national service and volunteer programs greatly enhance opportunities for youth to engage in civic activity.

N Korea launch threatens to undo disarmament talks
AP

By JEAN H. LEE, Associated Press Writer Jean H. Lee, Associated Press Writer – 49 mins ago

SOURCE

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's plans to launch a rocket as early as this week in defiance of warnings threatens to undo years of fitful negotiations toward dismantling the regime's nuclear program.

The U.S., South Korea and Japan have told the North that any rocket launch — whether it's a satellite or a long-range missile — would violate a 2006 U.N. Security Council Resolution prohibiting Pyongyang from any ballistic activity, and could draw sanctions.

North Korea said sanctions would violate the spirit of disarmament agreements, and said it would treat the pacts as null and void if punished for exercising its sovereign right to send a satellite into space.

"Even a single word critical of the launch" from the Security Council will be regarded as a "blatant hostile act," a spokesman with North Korea's foreign ministry said Thursday, according the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency. "All the processes for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, which have been pushed forward so far, will be brought back to what used to be before their start and necessary strong measures will be taken."

That would be a sharp reversal from June 2008 when the North made a promising move toward disarmament, dramatically blowing up a cooling reactor at its main Yongbyon nuclear complex.

But the regime routinely backtracks on agreements, refuses to abide by international rules and wields its nuclear program like a weapon when it needs to win concessions from Washington or Seoul, analysts say.

"History has shown them that the more provocative they are, the more attention they get. The more attention they get, the more they're offered," Peter M. Beck, a Korean affairs expert who teaches at American University in Washington and Yonsei University in Seoul, said Sunday.

Despite years of negotiations and impoverished North Korea's growing need for outside help, it's clear the talks have done little to curb the regime's drive to build — and sell — its atomic arsenal, experts say.

"If this is Kim Jong Il's welcoming present to a new president, launching a missile like this and threatening to have a nuclear test, I think it says a lot about the imperviousness of this regime in North Korea to any kind of diplomatic overtures," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an interview broadcast on "Fox News Sunday."

North Korea, a notoriously secretive country, has been challenging the international community with its atomic ambitions since 1993, when the regime briefly quit the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty amid suspicions it was secretly developing atomic weapons.

In 1994, North Korea and the U.S. worked out an agreement that promised Pyongyang oil and two light water nuclear reactors if the country would give up its nuclear ambitions. The power-generating reactors cannot be easily used to make bombs.

Four years later, North Korea fired a multistage Taepodong-1 missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean. The North pledged in 1999 to freeze long-range missile tests, but later threatened to restart its nuclear program and resume testing missiles amid delays in construction of the reactors.

In 2002, Pyongyang admitted to a secret nuclear weapons program in violation of the 1994 agreement, prompting the U.S., Japan and South Korea to halt oil supplies promised as part of the pact. The North withdrew again from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 2003, and announced it had reactivated its nuclear power facilities.

That August, six nations — the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the U.S. — began negotiations on disarmament now known as the "six-party talks," eventually resulting in a landmark accord on Sept. 19, 2005. The agreement called for North Korea to abandon its nuclear program in exchange for economic aid, diplomatic recognition and a security guarantee from Washington.

As the talks continued in fits and starts, the North in 2006 carried out a surprise 5 a.m. test-fire of six missiles, including its Taepodong-2 long-range missile, which U.S. and South Korean officials believe has the potential to strike Alaska.

The rocket fizzled just 42 seconds after takeoff but the launch, denounced as "provocative" by Washington, angered even North Korea's longtime ally and main donor, China, which agreed to a U.S.-sponsored U.N. Resolution 1695 condemning the move.

Later that year, an underground nuclear test prompted U.N. Resolution 1718, which bans the North from any ballistic activity. The U.S., South Korea and Japan say that sending satellites into space since the technology for launching a satellite and a missile are virtually the same.

By February, Pyongyang agreed to concrete steps toward disarmament: disabling its main nuclear facilities in exchange for the equivalent of 1 million tons of energy aid and other concessions. Disablement began that November.

But the North halted the process in 2008 amid a dispute with Washington over how to verify its 18,000-page account of past atomic activities. The last round of talks — in December 2008, weeks before President Barack Obama moved into the White House — made little apparent progress.

Analysts speculated that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was holding out for talks with Obama. But in forming its North Korea policy, the fledgling Obama administration has made it clear it will work through the six-party process.

The rocket launch scheduled for April 4-8, at a time when Pyongyang has custody of two American reporters detained March 17 at North Korea's border with China, could provide the opening North Korea needs to force direct talks with Washington, analysts said.

"The timing couldn't be better for North Korea. It strengthens the North's bargaining position with the U.S. in dealing with the nuclear issue. They can try to link these two issues in some way," said Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group.

Bringing everyone, including North Korea, back to the talks will be "rough going," said Paik Hak-soon, an analyst at the Sejong Institute think tank.

But South Korea's envoy expressed confidence the talks would be back on track soon. "I am looking forward to seeing the talks resume after certain amount of time, and I am not deeply worried or concerned about resumption of the talks," Wi Sung-lac said last week.

Ultimately, the talks may never achieve their aim, Beck said.

"It may very well be that in the end, the North will try to play it both ways: continue to negotiate for goodies while never giving up its nuclear trump card," he said in his House testimony. "After all, that is essentially what it has done for the past 16 years."

The Global Betrayal Begins: The London G-20 Push to Destroy National Sovereignty!

The Global Betrayal Begins:
The London G-20 Meeting Pushes to Destroy National Sovereignty!


What will come out of this G-20 Meeting?
As usual, we don't know.

What we DO know is that they will be discussing the possible implementation of global currency, the further disintegration of European nations, the further implementation of the North American Union, effective ways to force the UK to surrender its remaining sovereignty to the EU... and of course how to most effectively surrender Israel to al Ikhwan.

While SOME people are opposing this global treason against humanity, others are begging for world government! BUT Many of those trying to oppose world government are playing right into the hands of the Elite!

Here's a Reuters story of interest. I comment on this propaganda piece throughout. All emphases are my own. My comments are intended. As always, your thoughts are requested:

G20 marches begin week of protests in Europe
Reuters

SOURCE

By Catherine Bosley and Nick Vinocur Catherine Bosley And Nick Vinocur

LONDON/BERLIN (Reuters) – Thousands of people marched in Britain, France and Germany on Saturday to protest about the global economic crisis and urge world leaders to act on poverty, jobs and climate change at a G20 summit next week.

Chanting "tax the rich, make them pay," protesters marched through London waving banners saying "People before Profit," at the start of a week of protests that reflected growing public anger over bankers' pay and their role in the crisis.
    [Consider what this means... Just like so-called liberals and progressives are often siding with Hamas and al Ikhwan around the globe against Israel, so too the deceived "Sheeple" are marching for their own enslavement here!

    "Tax the rich" sounds great until one stops to think about what this really means...

    These "rich" are the people providing the jobs, the services, etc. The truly rich and powerful don't pay taxes and won't be touched by the added taxation... negatively that is... but the new taxes will go into their pockets making them ever richer and more powerful!

    This is just another move to appease the drones and increase the two class society: the uber-rich and the poor. And how are these mislead change-advocates wanting this to be accomplished? By global rule and global taxation by the global Elite.]
Leaders from the world's 20 biggest economies meet in London on Thursday to discuss how tighter regulation of financial markets, billions of dollars in stimulus measures and credit lines for international trade can help the world economy recover from the deepest recession since the 1930s.
    [Which recession was caused by the same people as this one as a deliberate ploy to rob the world and consolidate power. "Those who refuse to remember the past are condemned to repeat it!"]
In Britain, trade unions, aid agencies, religious groups and environmentalists joined together under the slogan "Put People First" to demand leaders agree to reforms to make the world's economy fairer.
    [Sounds nice enough eh? Please, protect us from these hard times Mr. Banker! But consider this: What gives this group of unelected bankers and their puppet presidents and congresses the authority to do this!!! The supporters of the G-20 and even many of their critics are handing the international banking cartel (read Bilderberg Group, CFR, World Bank, UN etc.etc. i.e. the Bavarian Illuminati, the authority to enslave us all!

    Never forget -- oops too late ;-( -- that Hitler did not come to power as a despot! He rose to power and was embraced by his people because he had the answers! He promised to save Germany and return its former glory! This is the EXACT same thing happening here... with one HUGE exception:

    This time there will be no "Allied Forces" to stop the New World Order of this Fourth Reich! This time one FAR WORSE THAN HITLER will rule without ANY serious opposition from ANY nation!

    Power Corrupts: Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely and THIS is what this London G-20 Summit is establishing: ABSOLUTE POWER!]
One group carried a traditional Chinese dragon with the head of a devil papered with dollar bills, calling it "The G20 Monster." Other waved placards reading "Jobs, Justice, Climate."
    [See the deception at work? The Chinese Dragon (unlike Western and Illuminati dragons) are symbols of good luck and new beginnings. THIS symbol supposedly was by people against the Summit BUT the other, with the sign reading "Jobs, Justice, Climate." were crying out to the Elite for salvation -- AND THEY MARCH TOGETHER!

    The people by and large are schizophrenic!!! They don't want the New World Order -- they just want the New World Order to solve their problems!!!!!
    This is madness!]
While the atmosphere was generally carnival-like, some marchers jeered when they passed British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street offices. Police said 12-15,000 people took part.

"This is going to be a summer of rage for the working class," said marcher Bryan Simpson, 20, a clerk from Glasgow.

The British protest was mirrored in other major EU economies, with about 10,000 people marching through Berlin, some with red flags of the far-left "Linke" party and a black coffin with red flowers to symbolize the death of capitalism.

    [Again, in some ways I can relate! Capitalism has run amok! The people controlling the capitalist systems are fascists, eugenicists and globalists -- but... if we call for "the death of capitalism" with what shall we replace it?

    Enter global corporate fascism... enter world slavery... Enter the Novus Ordo Seclorum!]

    These people are playing right into the hands of the Elite!]

Another 9,000 assembled in Germany's financial capital Frankfurt, police said, as part of a two-city demonstration.

A few hundred demonstrators gathered in central Paris in a protest under the slogan "We will not pay for their crisis."

JOB LOSSES

Brendan Barber, general secretary of Britain's Trades Union Congress, which represents 58 unions, said people around the world were angry about job losses, poverty and inequality.

"It is right to be angry as there is nothing inevitable about this recession," he said. "It was made by all the policy makers of the last few decades who believed that they should let the market rip."
    [Is anyone mad that the G-20 and their Masters are DESTROYING OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR NATIONS? The anger of the people is being skillfully misdirected and hence is largely impotent! They are protesting the wrong things!]
Unemployment in Britain has risen above 2 million, house prices have fallen 11 percent in a year and industrial output has recorded its worst drop since 1981.

While some G20 protesters in London have adopted slogans such as "Hang a Banker" and "Storm the Banks," organizers of the London march said the event would be peaceful.
    ["Hang a Banker!" Oh yes, "Dear G-20 International bankers, please hang a banker for us!!!" Sheesh these people couldn't see their hands in front of their faces!!!

    The Blind are leading the blind!!!]
"We have no evidence that anyone attending intends to disrupt our plans, break the law or commit any acts of violence," said Glen Tarman, chairman of the organizers.

A London police spokesman said there had been no arrests by lunchtime, adding: "It is relatively peaceful so far." Police canceled leave in the capital to cope with further protests planned by anarchists.

Commander Simon O'Brien, of London's Metropolitan Police, said policing the summit would be one of the largest and most complicated challenges in the force's history.

"There is an almost unprecedented level of activity going on," he told a news conference.

For instance, Gov. Palin has invited, to her great state of Alaska, the men who defeated her: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She has set up a moose hunting trip for their enjoyment and hired three prominent experts in their field to assist them.

Dick Cheney will lead them on the hunt, Ted Kennedy will drive them back to their cabins each evening, and Bill Clintonwill entertain their wives and daughters.

What a lady! That Sarah is such a sport and thinks of everything!

    ~ Thanks Tim!

God! It is so funny!

Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars... Yada Yada...
Here's the truth!

The Geography of Woman

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful!

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece, gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel, has been through war and doesn't make the same mistakes twice, takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada, self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet, wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages...only those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge visit there.

The Geography of Man

Between 1 and 70, a man is like Iran, Ruled by Nuts!


Some Things Seem Impossible, Something Are!

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head...

In a booming voice, the Lord said "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is selfish.

Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking! I'd have to completely re-terraform the bottom of the Pacific. Let's see... I guess I could make a series of islands to link the sections of the bridge, or maybe I could just plant massive beams... but then, that could compromise the maritime currents I have set in place! I can do it of course, but it is hard for me to justify such work just to satisfy such selfish desires.

Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind."

The biker thought about it for a long time.

Finally, he said, "Lord, I wish that I, and all men, could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy

The Lord paused, then replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Its time for CHANGE... Not THAT change!

My friend Longryder added some fun humor to his site and I felt inspired to update my The Not-so Sacred Web Book of John Not The Apostle with some of it. I've added two new pages, one on gender relations and one on politics.

This is a copy of the Home Page of my Humor Site, along with links to all its pages.

My next two posts will be the two new pages. I invite your additions to ANY of my pages (including humor that may not fit into any existing category)! Just add them in the comment section below along with any credit you wish me to post with it. I can't promise I'll use everything offered here, but I probably will unless I already have it posted.

I will also consider adding good humorous links to the home page, so suggest those as well!

Thanks!



God! Its so funny!

Welcome to

Question: "When was the first time medicine was mentioned in the Bible?"

Answer: It was when God gave Moses the tablets!

    O.K., so that was lame! And I suppose it might be offensive to someone (everything's offensive to someone!), but its clean, good hearted humor (unlike the PG 13 humor on my "Poop: The Real Meaning of Life" page below!).

Question: "Did you know that God has a motor cycle?"

Answer: Its true! The Bible speaks of the Day of the Lord's Triumph!"

Question: What is God's real Name?

Answer: Its Howard! Jesus said: Our Father Who is in heaven, Howard by thy Name...

    That'll offend someone!

I don't like humor and satire that slams individuals or groups (well, there are some... )

    If you are offended by anything you read here, feel free to let me know and I'll consider removing or editing it (or you could try to out-do it! -- that could be fun for everyone!).

    But I'm NOT into the whole PC thing so I hope your skin's not too thin! Some of what you find IS pretty racy!

Just try and remember that laughter is the best medicine -- and let's face it, we're all at least a little "sick!"

THE RED PHONE

There was a simple and little Hindu priest who lived in Mathura, India. Once he had the chance to go visit the Pope at the Vatican in Italy. After traveling to the Vatican, he walked up the steps and through the halls of the opulent building where the Pope stayed. He looked in awe at the beautiful marble floors and majestic columns. Then he came into the Pope’s office and he greeted the Pope who was seated behind his desk. The little Hindu priest sat nearby and they exchanged pleasantries. Then the Hindu priest noticed a red phone sitting at the end of the desk. So the Hindu priest asked what it was.

“Oh, that’s my hotline to God,” replied the Pope. “Whenever things get too difficult and I need to have a personal talk with God, I give Him a call.”

“Oh,” said the priest. “Would you mind if I tried it?”

“No, not at all,” the Pope responded.

So the little Hindu priest picked up the phone, dialed the number, and sure enough, he got through to God. So he offered his respects and prayers, said he was very happy to talk to Him, and then hung up the phone after only five minutes. He was a simple priest and did not have much more to say to God. He then thanked the Pope for the privilege of using the special red phone.

The Pope replied, “Oh that is quite all right. By the way, that will be $75.”

“Seventy-five dollars?” inquired the Hindu priest.

“Oh yes,” said the Pope. “You know, long distance charges. It’s a long way from here to God, you know.”

So the priest pulled out his wallet and gave the pope the seventy-five dollars.

Several months later, the Pope had the opportunity to visit India, and it was arranged for him to come to Mathura and visit the little Hindu priest. So the Pope approached the little hut of the Hindu priest, ducking his head as he walked through the door. He sat in a chair in front of the little table where the Hindu priest was pleased to again meet the Pope. They exchanged greetings when the Pope noticed the same kind of red phone on the priest’s table as he had at the Vatican. So the Pope asked what that was.

“Why, I also have a hotline to God,” replied the Hindu priest.

“Do you mind if I use it?” asked the Pope. “I really have a lot on my mind.”

“Please do,” responded the priest.

So the Pope got on the phone and got a good connection and managed to get through to God. He offered his prayers, but then had many things to discuss. He talked about the trouble in the Vatican, the difficulties with the priests and legal charges in the United States, the changing attitudes of the congregation in England and Europe, and so on. Fifteen minutes went by, then a half-hour, then finally after nearly an hour he was able to put the phone down. Then he said, “Thank you very much. I feel a lot better now. I had so much to talk about. By the way, how much will that be?”

The Hindu priest thought a moment and then said, “Two rupees.”

“What,” the Pope replied, surprised at how inexpensive it was. “Why so cheap?”

“Why don’t you know?” asked the little Hindu priest. “Here it is a local call.”

Borrowed from here


Just A Second!

So this guy is talking to God and ask, "Hey God what does 100 million years seem like to you?"

God answered, " One hundred million years ? That's like a second to me."

Then the man ask, "Hey God, what's 100 million dollars seem like to you?"

One hundred million dollars? It seems like a penny to me."

So the guy says, "Hey God could I borrow a penny?"

And God answers, "Sure. Just a second."


God Will Save Me

A big storm approaches. The weatherman urges everyone to get out of town. The priest says "I won't worry, God will save me".
The morning of the storm, the police go through the neighborhood with a sound truck telling everyone to evacuate. The priest says "I won't worry, God will save me".
The storm drains back up and there is an inch of water standing in the street. A fire truck comes by to pick up the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises another foot. A national guard truck comes by to rescue the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises some more. The priest is forced up to his roof. A boat comes by to rescue the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises higher. The priest is forced up to the very top of his roof. A helicopter comes to rescue the priest. He shouts up at them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises above his house, and the priest drowns.
When he gets up to heaven he says to God "I've been your faithful servant ever since I was born! Why didn't you save me?"
God replies "First I sent you a fire truck, then the national guard, then a boat, and then a helicopter. What more do you want from me!!??"

Monkeys on human evolution

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree,
Discussing things as they'd said to be.
Said one to the others, "Now listen you two,
There's a certain rumour that can't be true -
That man descended from our noble race,
The very idea is a disgrace.
No monkey ever deserted his wife,
starved the kids and ruined her life,
And whoever heard of a mother monk,
Leaving her kids with others to bunk;
Or passing them off from one to the other.
Till they scarcely know who was their mother.
Another thing that you never will see,
Is a monk build a fence around a coconut tree,
Forbidding all other monks to taste;
Letting the coconuts go to waste.
Why? If I built a fence around my coconut tree
Starvation would force you to steal from me.
Another thing that a monk wont do,
Is get out at night and go on a stew,
And use a gun, or club, or knife
To take another monkey's life.
Yes, man descended, the "so and so" cuss,
But brother, he didn't descend from us!"
Anon
