Remembering “Archbishop Of The Arabs” Hilarion Capucci

To fulfill my religious duties
this tormented people must be represented,”
By Abed Awad: Hilarion Capucci, the exiled Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem who was also known as the “Archbishop of the Arabs,” died last week in Rome aged 94.
Capucci dedicated his life to defending Palestinian rights but was politically active across the Middle East. Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Syria and Kuwait issued postage stamps in his honor. In 1979, Pope John Paul II dispatched him to Tehran to discuss concerns the Vatican had with the new Islamic revolutionary government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, including the closure of Catholic schools.
Capucci also played an active role during the Iran hostage crisis beginning in late 1979, paying several visits to the American hostages and negotiating an agreement for their release that only collapsed at the last minute because of a leak in the French press. He did succeed in securing the release of the bodies of American soldiers who had died in the failed rescue attempt and Capucci told this writer that he received a letter from President Ronald Reagan thanking him for his efforts.
But it was Palestine for which Capucci had a special passion.

CIA Director Brennan Warns 'JFK' Trump To Shut Up Or Die! + Trump Responds "Was He The Leaker Of Fake News?"

Submitted by Tyler Durden:
As Jacob G. Hornberger warns: In a truly remarkable bit of honesty and candor regarding the U.S. national-security establishment, new Senate minority leader Charles Schumer has accused President-elect Trump of “being really dumb.” … for taking on the CIA and questioning its conclusions regarding Russia.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you…. He’s being really dumb to do this.”

No president since John F. Kennedy has dared to take on the CIA or the rest of the national security establishment […] They knew that if they opposed the national-security establishment at a fundamental level, they would be subjected to retaliatory measures.

Why Men Earn More Detailed Analysis Of The Gender Pay Gap

Warren Farrell offers an in-depth analysis of the Gender Pay Gap, which results not from discrimination but from personal choices involving trade-offs between income, occupation, flexibility, and fulfillment. These decisions include choosing (or avoiding) hazardous occupations, unfulfilling occupations, willingness to relocate or be on-call, etc. He also examines employment discrimination against men, as well as situations that appear at first glance to be discrimination against women but turn out to actually be discrimination against men in disguise.

The Red Pill In Brisbane: A Hero’s Journey

By : The Red Pill movie evoked a heroic spirit, not only for movie-goers who had to pay in advance to attend a venue they were not even privy to (to keep venue staff safe), and for risking violence (there were gun threats), but also for the organizers who had to skirt the snares and obstacles thrown in their path by a feminist movement that refuses to accept free speech. I will have more to say about the nature of the heroism in a moment but first a mention of the event itself.
It was incredible.
The Red Pill screening took place in Brisbane on a balmy Saturday afternoon, with a full house, and like everyone else who attended I enjoyed it immensely. In fact it was a smash hit with over 90 percent of the audience staying for the Q&A with Paul Elam and Tom Golden which was met with numerous rounds of applause throughout.
One of the more interesting moments at question time was when a feminist took the mic and described how her boyfriend had asked her to come along, one gathers reluctantly on her part, and indicated that while she took the movie and men’s issues to heart she also felt the antifeminist tone of the MRM would turn women away from joining the cause. She asked Paul and Tom to speak to that concern.

"They Are The Opposition Party" - Trump May Evict Press From The White House

By Tyler Durden: The simmering cold, if heating up with every passing day, war between Trump and the press may be about to turn conventional, with the occasional chance of an ICBM.
Just days after calling out CNN fake news during his first press conference of 2017, Esquire reports that according to three senior officials on the transition team, the incoming Trump administration is "seriously considering" a plan to evict the press corps from the White House.

If the plan goes through, one of the officials said, the media will be removed from the cozy confines of the White House press room, where it has worked for several decades. Members of the press will be relocated to the White House Conference Center—near Lafayette Square—or to a space in the Old Executive Office Building, next door to the White House.
