‘Resisting anger takes ‘tremendous interior strength,’ so ask God for help’, Pope Francis

St. Louis, Mo., Jun 26, 2022

In his Angelus address on Sunday, Pope Francis reflected on Christ’s “resolute decision” not to be overcome by anger in the face of unwelcoming adversaries, instead modeling the qualities of “calm, patience, longsuffering, not slackening the least bit in doing good.”

“It is easy, it is instinctive, to allow ourselves to be overcome by anger when faced with opposition. What is difficult, instead, is to master oneself, doing as Jesus did who, as the Gospel says, ‘went on to another village’,” the pope said June 26, reflecting on the Gospel reading from the ninth chapter of Luke.

“This means that when we meet with opposition, we must turn toward doing good elsewhere, without recrimination. This way, Jesus helps us to be people who are serene, who are happy with the good accomplished, and who do not seek human approval.”

Pope Francis said that sometimes people may think that anger in the face of opposition is “due to a sense of justice for a good cause.”

What to do when you don’t know what to do

by Lisa Kohn | Jun 30, 2022

There comes a time when you have to make a decision, but sometimes that time comes and you still lack clarity. You’re stuck. What do you do?

Your team may be looking to you for a final call on the next direction. Your boss may be looking to you for a plan for a new project. Your client may be looking to you for a recommendation. You may be debating between two (or more) options, unsure of how best to move forward.

What do you do?

Working on my own decisions over the years – as well as helping clients when they felt most stuck – I’ve come up with a few points to consider when you’re faced with a decision you don’t seem to be able to make. They are as follows:

• Trust your gut – as coaches we base our work with clients on the knowledge that our clients have their own answers already, and our job is to help them rid themselves of whatever’s in their way so they can learn to trust their gut. There is a strong chance that deep inside there is an option or choice that just “feels” right, and research has shown that our gut – or intuition – can make at least as good a decision as our rational brain. Get quiet, and see if your gut has something to tell you.
• And do your research – while your gut may be right, your rational brain may want “proof,” and so might your team, boss, client, etc. Do the necessary research. Learn what others have done in a similar situation. Go through the background information and best case scenarios, and make sure you’re not missing something essential.
• Gather input – not only might other people have perspectives and suggestions you may not have thought about, but by bringing others in early in a decision-making process, you most likely strengthen their buy-in to whatever decision you make or path you take. Make others feel included by engaging them, and see what you can learn from them.
• Make it the right decision – I heard a few years ago, “make a decision, and make it the right decision.” So often we second-guess our choices and go back on something we’ve settled. Needless to say, that doesn’t help. While it’s important to keep your mind open in case there is new information to consider along the way, it’s also important to do your best not to unnecessarily waffle once your decision has been made.

Sometimes it is hard to know what to do, and sometimes we get in our own way while we’re trying to figure it out. By following some of these simple steps, you can get clearer and make (and stick to and flex when necessary) the decisions you have to make.

Pope Francis respects US Supreme court decision and condemns abortion

Pope Francis speaks with Reuters Senior Correspondent Philip Pullella 

In a wide-ranging interview with American journalist Philip Pullela of Reuters, Pope Francis covers topics such as the recent US Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the possibility of resigning, the decision to postpone his planned Apostolic Visit to South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and his hopes for a trip to Moscow and Kyiv.

Pope Francis has responded to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which returned power to regulate abortion to the individual states, saying he respected the decision, but had not studied it enough to comment on it from a juridic point of view. “I tell you the truth. I don’t understand it from a technical point of view,” he explained, adding, “I have to study it because I don’t really understand (the details of) the ruling 50 years ago and now I can’t say whether it did right or wrong from a judicial point of view.” However, he said, “I respect the decisions.”

The science and morality of abortion

The Pope went on to consider the question of abortion itself, saying, “Leaving that [the Supreme Court decision] aside, let’s go back to the issue of abortion, which is a problem.” He said it is important to look at what science has learned in the past few decades: “In this we have to be scientific, see what science tells us today. Science today and any book on embryology, the one our medical students study, tells you that 30 days after conception there is DNA and the laying out already of all the organs.”

He asked, “Is it legitimate, is it right, to eliminate a human life to resolve a problem?” He insisted, “It’s a human life – that’s science. The moral question is whether it is right to take a human life to solve a problem.”

“Indeed, is it right to hire a hit man to solve a problem?”

Pope Francis made the remarks in an hour-and-a-half-long interview with Reuters correspondent Philip Pullella, published on Monday.

The Holy Father also emphasized the importance of a pastoral approach to Catholic politicians who support abortion, saying, “When the Church loses its pastoral nature, when a bishop loses his pastoral nature, it causes a political problem. That’s all I can say.”

Building Trust

06.13.22

TRUST is what holds relationships together, and therefore it is vital to families, groups, and organizations. Of course, trust is a two-way street. Not only must we be trustworthy, but we must extend trust to others. As leaders, we build trustworthiness in others by first extending trust to them.

Trust is based on our behavior. We can behave our way into trust, and we can behave our way out of trust. Understanding the bases of a trust decision can help us to build trust and recover when we have been untrustworthy. The following model introduced by Darryl Stickel in Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, helps us to do that.

The model begins with the bases of trust. When deciding whether to trust or not, people ask two questions: How likely am I to be harmed a (perceived uncertainty) and if I am harmed, how badly will it hurt (perceived vulnerability). When combined they give an idea of our perceived risk. And spending on our risk threshold, we make a decision on whether the trust is worth it. “Our risk threshold, or willingness to trust, comes from a combination of our cultural background, personal traits, and experiences.”

Our perceived uncertainty of another person may go down as we get to know them, and as a result, we may be more willing to be more vulnerable with them. But emotions also come into play. Our emotions act like a filter and influence our judgment. The more extreme our emotions—love or hate—the less rational we are. Our emotions affect our trust decision and even the outcome we expect.

At the same time, we may trust someone in one context but not another. Change the context, and the perceived uncertainty and vulnerability changes too.

We can increase our trustworthiness—our perceived uncertainty—by addressing three factors: Do you have my best interests at heart? (Benevolence), Do you follow through on commitments? (Integrity), and Can you do the job? (Ability). When it comes to vulnerability, scarcity (what do I have to lose?), the stakes (what do I feel is at stake?), and value (what value do I place on the stakes?).

The Improbable Achievement That Was the American Revolution

07.04.22

AMERICAN writer and pamphleteer Thomas Paine believed that it was common sense that an island could not rule a continent. “No event in American history which seemed so improbable at the time has seemed so inevitable in retrospect as the American Revolution,” writes Joseph Ellis in Founding Brothers. He adds:

The creation of a separate American nation occurred suddenly rather than gradually, in revolutionary rather than evolutionary fashion, the decisive events that shaped the political ideas and institutions of the emerging state all taking place with dynamic intensity during the last quarter of the eighteenth century. No one present at the start knew how it would turn out in the end.

It is easily assumed that all of the citizens of the American colony were on the same page. How else could it have worked? “The very term ‘American Revolution’ propagates a wholly fictional sense of national coherence not present in the moment.” It is only in hindsight that we assume the outcome.

It is ironic that the very thing they were fighting against was an element in the nation they were trying to create.

The key insight shared by most of the vanguard members of the revolutionary generation, is that the very arguments used to justify succession from the British Empire also undermined the legitimacy of any national government capable of overseeing such a far-flung population, or establishing uniform laws that knotted together the thirteen sovereign states and three or four distinct geographic and economic regions.

The creation of the United States was a daunting task, to say the least. The United States is the world’s oldest enduring republic because “in 1787 a tiny minority of prominent political leaders from several key states conspired to draft and then ratify a document designed to accommodate republican principles to national scale.” The core principle being personal liberty and, therefore, personal responsibility.

It may be easy to criticize what they accomplished almost 250 years later, but we would be wise to remember the words of historians Will and Ariel Durant, “No one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime to such fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the customs or institutions of his society, for these are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.”

The checks and balances that permitted the infant American republic to endure were not primarily legal, constitutional, or institutional, but intensely personal, rooted in the dynamic interaction of leaders with quite different visions and values. What made it work was trust in the intentions of the other person. Their differences provided checks on each other.

Character mattered because the fate of the American experiment with republican government still required virtuous leaders to survive. Eventually, the United States might develop into a nation of laws and established institutions capable of surviving corrupt or incompetent public officials. But it was not there yet. It still required honorable and virtuous leaders to endure.

What happened in Philadelphia was truly a miracle. And on July 4th, we can be grateful that they, through all of the uncertainty, made it happen.

Official Government Data Record 74,783 Deaths and 5,830,235 Injuries Following COVID-19 Vaccines in the U.S. and Europe

June 25, 2022

Editor, Health Impact News

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) database of adverse drug reactions is now reporting 45,752 deaths and 4,522,307 injuries following COVID-19 vaccines, while the United States’ vaccine adverse events recording system (VAERS) is now reporting 29,031 deaths and 1,307,928 injuries following COVID-19 vaccines. (Source.)

We know that as huge as these numbers are which are official government statistics, that they only represent a very small fraction of the total number of deaths and injuries suffered by those who chose to receive COVID-19 vaccines during the past 18 months.

Last year, Dr. Jessica Rose did a comprehensive analysis to determine the “under-reported factor” in VAERS, and came up with 41X, meaning that the recorded data for adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines in VAERS had to be multiplied by 41 to get more accurate numbers. See:

Determining the VAERS Under-Reporting Multiplier

However, now that more time has elapsed since this study was performed, many feel that 41X is significantly too low, and should be closer to 100X, which is the number that was previously used based on a 2011 report by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs and vaccines that endanger public health. New surveillance methods for drug and vaccine adverse effects are needed. (Source.)

Earlier this week Albert Benavides, who downloads the VAERS data each week and reports on it, contacted me and informed me that VAERS was deleting many records of COVID-19 vaccines, and that this has been going on for 10 weeks now. He had found over 20,000 records purged from VAERS.

While these government health agencies are required by law to publish these adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines, it is clear they are trying to hide these numbers from the public. All of it is available to the public, but not a single corporate news outlet has ever reported on this data, only the Alternative Media.

So if we take the publicly available data from VAERS and the European EMA and multiply by 100, these would be the true numbers of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines: 7,478,300 deaths and 583,023,500 injuries in Europe and the U.S.

Is there any evidence available to corroborate these kinds of numbers of people who died and were injured from the COVID-19 vaccines?

Oh yes, there most certainly is!

Former Blackrock Fund Manager Edward Dowd was one of the first to sound the alarm about the massive increase in payouts for life insurance and health insurance benefits in February of this year (2022), as insurance companies began reporting on their earnings from 2021, the year the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out. Here is an interview he did with Kristi Leigh.

And here is a more recent interview from earlier this month (June, 2022) with the New American.

We also published an article about a week ago from Margaret Menge reporting that a 163% increase in death benefits was paid out for group life insurance policies by the 5th largest life insurance company in the U.S. in 2021.

Fifth Largest Life Insurance Company in US Paid Out 163% More for Deaths of Working People ages 18-64 in 2021 After COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

This is creating tremendous shortages of human resources in the economy as the entire financial system is heading towards a collapse.

And yet almost nobody in the media, not even much in the Alternative Media, is addressing the fact that this labor shortage is due to massive deaths and injuries from the COVID vaccines.

While most of the food I consume comes from my own company, I still go to town from time to time and visit a local grocery store to stock up on certain items, and for the past few weeks, it has been extremely difficult to check out, because the store has had a very difficult time keeping people employed, and many of their employees are frequently sick.

Yesterday I was waiting to check out, and the manager of the store came up front to help with the long checkout lines. It used to be that when I shopped at this particular store, that the standard way the checkout people started the checkout, was to ask me: “Did you find everything you were looking for?”

They don’t ask this question anymore. In fact, there was a particular product I used to stock up on that I had not seen in my past two trips to the store, and I mentioned it to the manager who was checking me out, and he said: “We don’t even know anymore why some things are out of stock, and we have no idea when they might be restocked.”

This situation is not going to get better anytime soon, that’s for sure. Where will the future labor be found, when the COVID-19 vaccines have a better success rate in causing miscarriages than the abortion pill (see: 82% Pregnant Women Getting COVID Vaccine have Miscarriages – More than the Abortion Pill), and now a study has shown that men are becoming infertile as well after receiving COVID-19 vaccines.

More Evidence of Population Reduction Effects of COVID Vaccines as Study Shows Decreased Sperm Counts in Men Following Vaccination

Seldom now does a day go by where I do not hear someone in my circle of friends and family report that someone they know has now died “suddenly.”

When will the masses wake up to the fact that their governments and Big Pharma have an agenda, a very evil agenda, to reduce the world’s population which is now a year and half old?

And when they finally do wake up, will it be too late? Will they be sitting in a FEMA camp somewhere hoping that the government is going to give them enough food to stay alive?

45,752 deaths and 4,522,307 injuries in EudraVigilance

The European (EEA and non-EEA countries) database of suspected drug reaction reports is EudraVigilance, verified by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and they are now reporting 45,752 fatalities, and 4,522,307 injuries following injections of five experimental COVID-19 shots:

• COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE MODERNA (CX-024414)
• COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE PFIZER-BIONTECH
• COVID-19 VACCINE ASTRAZENECA (CHADOX1 NCOV-19)
• COVID-19 VACCINE JANSSEN (AD26.COV2.S)
• COVID-19 VACCINE NOVAVAX (NVX-COV2373)

From the total of injuries recorded, almost half of them (2,050,686) are serious injuries.

“Seriousness provides information on the suspected undesirable effect; it can be classified as ‘serious’ if it corresponds to a medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalisation, results in another medically important condition, or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.”

A Health Impact News subscriber in Europe ran the reports for each of the four COVID-19 shots we are including here. It is a lot of work to tabulate each reaction with injuries and fatalities, since there is no place on the EudraVigilance system we have found that tabulates all the results.

Since we have started publishing this, others from Europe have also calculated the numbers and confirmed the totals.*

*These totals are estimates based on reports submitted to EudraVigilance. Totals may be much higher based on percentage of adverse reactions that are reported. Some of these reports may also be reported to the individual country’s adverse reaction databases, such as the U.S. VAERS database and the UK Yellow Card system. The fatalities are grouped by symptoms, and some fatalities may have resulted from multiple symptoms.

Here are a few stories to put faces on these cold, hard statistics. Most of these deaths are now being reported in the corporate media as “SADS” (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome).

They refuse to publish their COVID-19 vaccination status in most cases, and one has to find it on their social media accounts, where usually they brag about getting the kill shots, while ridiculing those who oppose them.

Fortunately, there are still a few of us anti-vaxx “idiots” left who did not take the shots so that we can publish their obituaries.
