LETTERS TO THE PRIME MINISTER


FILE – Mark Carney speaks during his Liberal leadership campaign launch in Edmonton, Jan. 16, 2025. (Jason Franson/The Canadian Press via AP, File)

An interesting little unimportant fact for me to see for obvious reasons. I searched and found this image of Mark Carney for the 1st Time the same day I posted this article Friday. It was already part of this post before I read the accreditation under the image. In the letter sent to Carney on June 6 D-Day posted below, in it I mention my 1st Contact letter was sent on Carney’s Birthday March 16.

All vigilant Citizens could and should express their views and concerns to their government. The State of THIS Material World is in dire straits, sick & sucks. Don’t give up if you don’t get a response.

Prime Minister Carney and CanaDa is proud to be hosting the G-7 + meetings starting on Sunday, mingling with his peers, the small minority of the Establishment Powerful and Privileged Political Elites, leading THIS money loving and serving MATERIAL World, on it’s tip ready to topple over, like the INVERSE Pyramid in the Israeli Star of David.

You could be certain the PMO wanted the Economy to be the focus of discussions, and planned accordingly. I can only imagine the disappointment he must feel, despite all the meticulous details put in place to make it so, Israel’s aggressive Acts of War against Iran, not self-defence as Israel claims, turned all those plans upside-down.

In this letter I sent Prime Minister Carney on Tuesday, June 6 D-Day, in the context of the last paragraph in the letter, Israel starting the WAR re the upcoming G-7 Carney wanted without this bothersome intrusion was truly “preemptive.”

MORAL BACKBONE OR LACK THEREOF

Prime Minister Carney,

Know this, so there can be no doubt in the PMO: Since Pierre Trudeau quit in 1984 moving to The Cormier House in Montreal, I had no Spiritual Impulse to speak to Turner, Mulroney, Campbell, Chrétien, Martin, Harper, or Justin Trudeau.

I laid low—until God called me to confront you. You are now like Jonah in belly of the whale having no place left to run and hide from Almighty God. When Jonah came to his senses and did God’s will going to Nineveh to warn they were on the Path to Destruction, from the king on down, the people repented and Nineveh was not destroyed.

That was until the Year of the Lord 2014, when that Biblical History repeated itself. ISIS blew up the Islamic Mosque in Nineveh, Iraq, containing the Tomb of Jonah in the whale fame from the Jewish-Christian tradition. That was the same Year of the Lord when the US-CIA orchestrated the regime change of the Democratically elected, Russian friendly Ukraine government, installing an anti-Russian Ukraine government which immediately started shelling the Russian-speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia.

This is the strong Spiritual impulse God gave me to impress on you Today because obviously, you have eyes but do not see: So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. If the watchman see the sword come, and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. In our Times, it’s the house of CanaDa & Israel.

From the 1st contact letter I sent to you March 16 with Birthday wishes, congratulations and a Vision for CanaDa, no one in the PMO recognized the Good Will. Even the Easter Sunday letter had Good Will toward you, though I gave you the ultimatum if you do not publicly condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza by April 28, instead of the super majority the polls said you would get up to Easter Sunday, you would have a minority and so it is.

NO ONE in the PMO followed this link to https://rayjc.com/2025/03/13/pierre-trudeau-the-year-of-three-popes-and-the-divine-shaking-of-earthly-powers/ The PMO can dismiss it but cannot change the historical FACTS. The PMO may not believe me, but do you believe your own RCMP Security? This is the official RCMP account of the Face to Face Time and Chance encounter with Pierre Trudeau late at night on August 3, 1978.

Naturally, the RCMP Agent would not recognize I was speaking by the Christ Spirit, the very words Christ Jesus said to Peter the 1st Pope, recorded in John 21. It makes perfect sense! While I spoke those words in my Faith of that Day called TODAY, I had no foreknowledge, Pope Paul VI would DIE 3 days later.

This is the official RCMP report from October 13, 1978, embedded in the article linked above, as the Christ Spirit moved me to prophesy the 3rd command in the sequence, from John 21. In the media melee at the front door to Glebe, I said to his Face, “Prime Minister! Look at the Spirit of the 13. Feed the lambs!” as he went to speak to the children.

NOTE: the RCMP Agent put “13” in quotes. With the election 3 days later, Trudeau lost “13” of the 15 by-elections, and the unscheduled election of Pope John Paul II was announced. These are undeniable Historical Facts!

Prime Minister, in your Declaration with England & France so long ago this is what you said: “We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response. We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.”

Netanyahu is giving you the finger Mark Carney, continuing to do everything the statement condemns and obviously those high – sounding ideals were just Political spin. Where’s your MORAL BACKBONE?

You are complicit sacrificing the lives of Palestinian Children and Woman to preserve caucus support in your minority Parliament by a minority of MPs in a Faustian bargain with the Devil.

Why should anyone believe you will back up your own words when you let Netanyahu give you the finger on such a fundamental Issue of Truth and Justice and our Common Humanity in this Common Era of Christ?

I know you are anxious to host the G7 and mingle with the privileged and powerful elites already opting for Destruction deciding on escalation of the European WAR in this Nuclear Missile Age. I am also anxious to see what comes of it? When the G8 met in Muskoka in 2010 attended by all those thinking of themselves as the movers and shakers in this World, Almighty God showed them who the real mover and shaker is with an Earthquake and a Tornado, totally unusual for that area.

When I commended you for your joint statement with England and France May 21 starting my 82nd year, this was the condition with the question mark: Finally, Publicly recognizing the horrific Israeli Genocide in Gaza. Better late than never! Now I hope your minority government lasts a while?

That is only my personal hope Prime Minister. Depending on what comes out of the G7, by God, your tenure as Prime Minister may not last much longer than Kim Cambell’s. God is that powerful!

PEACE

As I pointed out in the letter above, Israel already gave Carney the finger. Israel attacking Iran put Carney’s carefully laid plans for G-7 success in jeopardy. It’s not self-defence as Israel always claims when it attacks it’s neighbours. It’s Israeli naked brutal aggression expanding the the murderous Israeli Gaza Genocide starting this WAR in the Middle East. It’s bringing this Material World closer to ARMAGEDDON aka the Great Day of the Battle of Almighty God between Jews, Christians and Muslims starting with Israel as described in the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Jew 16: 13-16, I posted the Warning it was coming in many sites for the last few months.

With all of that, in pandering to Israel, Carney’s government condemned Iran’s legitimate by International Law, retaliatory response to Israel’s acts of War, but did not condemn Israel for starting the WAR. When the US defends and protects Israel from Iran’s legitimate retaliation to Israel starting a wider WAR in the Middle East, it is EVIDENCE the US West is totally complicit with Israel’s aggression ensuring the Middle East erupt in a deadly inferno.

This is the History of all the times Netanyahu claimed Iran was close to having a nuke and as it is Today, it’s was all bullshit to justify Israeli domination and expansion in the Middle East. In a letter sent to the Prime Minister May 22, I included these verses from the Revelation of Jesus Christ since Carney self-proclaimed his Christianity in his acceptance speech winning the Liberal Leadership and position of Prime Minister. He has no excuse! The Bible verses following were written so we can see the Israeli genocide happening in Gaza TODAY in its unfolding context:

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3

The chutzpah of Israel decrying 3 Israeli Jews were killed in Iran’s legitimate retaliation to Israel starting the WAR when Israel killed over 100 Iranian civilians in the WAR it started, as if Jewish lives are more valuable than Palestinian or other Gentile lives.

People examine debris from a residential building in Tehran that was destroyed in Israel’s attack on Iran on June 13, 2025.

For those paying attention, it was obvious under Carney, Canada was to give it’s Imprimatur and take part in the escalation of the US WAR with Russia over Ukraine in NATO. He even invited Zelensky, whose legal term as President ended over a year ago. He declared Martial Law to remain in Power. While he’s being feted by Carney and all NATO governments in Europe, he shuts down opposition in Ukraine while Press Gangs abduct Ukraine Citizens off the streets to send them to the WAR front with minimal training where death is almost certain in maintaining and continuing this hopeless WAR the Ukrainian People want to stop.

In the letter to the Prime Minister with the Subject: THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY, sent May 21 on my Birthday starting my 82nd Year, I spelled out the divergent views and understanding of the WAR in Europe we have because I watched even more closely that the highly paid America 1st MSM Propagandists including this because The Kansas City Times was describing me, a Canadian, September 13, 1976, as Americans were celebrating the Revolution: “He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered […] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” […] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”

That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the letter. The World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath.

“It is the US and NATO that have pursued aggressive expansion eastward, fuelling this conflict.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Military Warsaw Pact opposite NATO with it in 1991, there was no need for US/NATO to extend right up to Russia’s border other than US arrogance and hubris and the false belief Russia was so weak, they couldn’t do anything to stop it. It was hypocritical as well because the US was so offended by Russian missiles in Cuba in 1962, they perpetrated an Act of WAR with the illegal US Naval blockade of Cuba. The US isn’t that exceptional. Russia feels the very same way about NATO being right on Russia’s border. Where is the Common Sense in this World?

Zbigniew Brzeziński was President Clinton’s National Security Advisor and wrote in 1997, “It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire.” It was under Clinton, NATO’s march to Russia’s border started breaking the promise not to expand beyond Germany if Russia unilaterally brought all it’s troops back to Russia. 

It’s totally absurd for anyone to believe US West Propaganda. The US proxy anti-Russian Ukraine government was shelling Russian speaking Ukrainians. After annexing the Russian speaking majority of Ukraine bordering Russia, it’s totally unlikely Russia alone would then move West to take on the US and it’s 30+ European vassal states. 

I believe this comment from Vladimir Putin was pragmatic and sincere saying this: “Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.” New York Times20 February 2000. 

US/NATO claiming Russia wants to re-constitute the Soviet Union is US hype to sell more Weapons of Death & Destruction, preparing Americans and the World for the FINAL WAR to End ALL WARS: WWIII – ARMAGEDDON.

President Kennedy saw how dangerous it is for the World because of US-Russia PRIDE OF POWER POLITICS acting out in this World Today. Kennedy saw  in 1963 how close the World came to Nuclear WWIII prompting him to say: “Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy–or of a collective death-wish for the world.” 

Thinking like that, got the US 1sters of that era, still with us Today, so upset, he was “disappeared.”

 […] Biden was threatening Russia with Economic Warfare in November 2021. In the week before February 24, 2022, I went to the OSCE website daily, set up by the Minsk Accords to monitor Truce Violations between the US installed anti-Russian Ukraine government, and the majority Russian speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia rejecting the 2014 US-CIA regime change of the Democratically elected Russian friendly Ukraine government they voted for. 

Germany’s Angela Merkle and French President Hollande both let it slip out the Minsk Accords were only a ruse to pacify Russia to think there would positive results. The real reason for Minsk was for the US/NATO to buy Time to arm and train Ukraine for the War the US West was determined to have with Russia.

Contrary to the US West Propaganda Russia was the aggressor, I saw with my own eyes, Truce Violations were reaching up to 2000 a Day, provoking the Russian SMO to stop it.

My experience and understanding of “Democracy” also diverges from his. Carney, Trump and all the so called “Democratic” Leaders know there is no real Democracy anywhere in this money driven World yet. Our existing system is an Oligarchic Plutocracy Pyramid System. The rich and privileged powerful are at the top, with the masses of people at the bottom level of that Pyramid holding all levels above it on it’s back and shoulders. Like the upside-down Pyramid on it’s tip ready to topple over in the Israeli Star of David, Economically, the workers at that bottom level of the Pyramid System are finding it harder and harder to survive living in ‘The Free World’ the elites living at the top of the Pyramid System tell us we live in, with the Financial, Psychological, and Emotional costs increasing beyond the masses ability to deal with the rapid changes.

I came to Ottawa from Montreal September 2, 1977. The 1st Place I went to, was the Governor-General’s Residence, Government House, and signed the Guest Book listing my address as New Jerusalem 48 Years ago.

Having no money to advertise or rent a hall, exercising my Democratic Right of FREEDOM of Speech, stood up on the Sparks Street Mall and started speaking to a growing lunchtime crowd stopping to listen. The Police came and stopped the speech, charging me with “SHOUTING, causing a disturbance” even though The Ottawa Citizen reported the crowd demanded I be allowed to speak because they wanted to hear.

I was locked up in maximum security, solitary confinement for 5 days before appearing in front of a Judge. I understood the signal they were giving me doing that. The Ottawa Citizen published a 3×3 report with the header, ‘Preacher arrested on Mall’

The pictures below were published by The Ottawa Citizen on 3/4 of Saturday’s page 2 with a border around the article reporting on my continuation of the speech the Police stopped the week earlier with the header, ‘Second Policing for ‘God’s Emissary’

At trial, there were about 10 charges of ‘SHOUTING, causing a disturbance.’ I was convicted and put on Probation for 1 year. Not 1 of the standard conditions were checked off. Typed in at the bottom of the Probation form was this 1 condition, “‘”not to attend on the Sparks St. Mall, or ANY OTHER street in Ottawa for the purpose of SPEAKING or shouting.” at 31, I was sent to jail for the 1st TIME in my Life for breach of that UN-Democratic condition.

When Carney and the Europeans say the WAR with Russia is over Democracy, with that personal experience, I have every Right to say, BULLSHIT!

LEO XIV


1st appearance of Pope Leo

I was very surprised Pope Leo was elected the 2nd Day of the Conclave. With so many unknown Cardinals, I thought it could take a week.

But the Lord does work in mysterious ways. Once the Cardinals are cut off from the World completely in the Conclave that started May 7, they depend on the Holy Spirit to guide them in making such an important decision. The Holy Spirit acted fast this Time.

Donald Trump posted this image of himself on his Truth Social Website 3 Days before the Conclave started:

He already had a Vatican like Curia

Most probably all the Cardinals were talking about Trump posing as Pope the 1st Day of the Conclave.

The Holy Spirit moved quickly having the Cardinals realize the Cardinal having Pastoral Experience ministering to the poor, Vatican experience as an insider, and an American, was the best possible choice to speak to Trump the anti-Pope and anti-Christ in English, so that nothing would be lost in translation. He was elected with the necessary 2/3 consensus in record Time, the 2nd Day of the Conclave.

This is the 1st homily Pope Leo gave at his 1st Mass as Pope for the Cardinals. Reading it, he is following in the footsteps of Pope Francis, and I expect Leo XIV to use the Bully Pulpit like no Pope before him in our Lifetimes.

Leo spoke briefly in English before his homily, saying:

“I want to repeat the words from the Responsorial Psalm: ‘I will sing a new song to the Lord, because He has done marvels,’ and indeed, not just with me but with all of us.

“My brother Cardinals, as we celebrate this morning, I invite you to reflect on the marvels the Lord has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out on all of us through the Ministry of Peter.

“You have called me to carry that cross, and to carry out that mission, and I know I can rely on each and every one of you to walk with me, as we continue as a Church, as a community of friends of Jesus, as believers, to announce the Good News, to announce the Gospel.”

During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

“Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.

“These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pitied. Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed. A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family and so many other wounds that afflict our society.”

Here is the full homily, as translated from the Italian by the Vatican:

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Mt 16:16). In these words, Peter, asked by the Master, together with the other disciples, about his faith in him, expressed the patrimony that the Church, through the apostolic succession, has preserved, deepened and handed on for two thousand years.

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God: the one Saviour, who alone reveals the face of the Father.

In him, God, in order to make himself close and accessible to men and women, revealed himself to us in the trusting eyes of a child, in the lively mind of a young person and in the mature features of a man, finally appearing to his disciples after the resurrection with his glorious body. He thus showed us a model of human holiness that we can all imitate, together with the promise of an eternal destiny that transcends all our limits and abilities.

Peter, in his response, understands both of these things: the gift of God and the path to follow in order to allow himself to be changed by that gift. They are two inseparable aspects of salvation entrusted to the Church to be proclaimed for the good of the human race. Indeed, they are entrusted to us, who were chosen by him before we were formed in our mothers’ wombs, reborn in the waters of Baptism and, surpassing our limitations and with no merit of our own, brought here and sent forth from here, so that the Gospel might be proclaimed to every creature (cf. Mk 16:15).

In a particular way, God has called me by your election to succeed the Prince of the Apostles, and has entrusted this treasure to me so that, with his help, I may be its faithful administrator (1 Cor 4:2) for the sake of the entire mystical Body of the Church. He has done so in order that she may be ever more fully a city set on a hill (Rev 21:10), an ark of salvation sailing through the waters of history and a beacon that illumines the dark nights of this world. And this, not so much through the magnificence of her structures or the grandeur of her buildings – like the monuments among which we find ourselves – but rather through the holiness of her members. For we are the people whom God has chosen as his own, so that we may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called us out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Pet 2:9).

Peter, however, makes his profession of faith in reply to a specific question: “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” (Mt 16:13). The question is not insignificant. It concerns an essential aspect of our ministry, namely, the world in which we live, with its limitations and its potential, its questions and its convictions.

“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” If we reflect on the scene we are considering, we might find two possible answers, which characterize two different attitudes.

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV, second from left, concelebrates Mass with the College of Cardinals inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican the day after his election as 267th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Friday, May 9, 2025.

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV, second from left, con-celebrates Mass with the College of Cardinals inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican the day after his election as 267th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Friday, May 9, 2025.

First, there is the world’s response. Matthew tells us that this conversation between Jesus and his disciples takes place in the beautiful town of Caesarea Philippi, filled with luxurious palaces, set in a magnificent natural landscape at the foot of Mount Hermon, but also a place of cruel power plays and the scene of betrayals and infidelity. This setting speaks to us of a world that considers Jesus a completely insignificant person, at best someone with an unusual and striking way of speaking and acting. And so, once his presence becomes irksome because of his demands for honesty and his stern moral requirements, this “world” will not hesitate to reject and eliminate him.

Then there is the other possible response to Jesus’ question: that of ordinary people. For them, the Nazarene is not a charlatan, but an upright man, one who has courage, who speaks well and says the right things, like other great prophets in the history of Israel. That is why they follow him, at least for as long as they can do so without too much risk or inconvenience. Yet to them he is only a man, and therefore, in times of danger, during his passion, they too abandon him and depart disappointed.

What is striking about these two attitudes is their relevance today. They embody notions that we could easily find on the lips of many men and women in our own time, even if, while essentially identical, they are expressed in different language.

Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.

These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pitied. Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed. A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family and so many other wounds that afflict our society.

Today, too, there are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.

This is the world that has been entrusted to us, a world in which, as Pope Francis taught us so many times, we are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Jesus the Saviour. Therefore, it is essential that we too repeat, with Peter: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Mt 16:16).

It is essential to do this, first of all, in our personal relationship with the Lord, in our commitment to a daily journey of conversion. Then, to do so as a Church, experiencing together our fidelity to the Lord and bringing the Good News to all.

I say this first of all to myself, as the Successor of Peter, as I begin my mission as Bishop of Rome and, according to the well-known expression of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, am called to preside in charity over the universal Church (cf. Letter to the Romans, Prologue). Saint Ignatius, who was led in chains to this city, the place of his impending sacrifice, wrote to the Christians there: “Then I will truly be a disciple of Jesus Christ, when the world no longer sees my body” (Letter to the Romans, IV, 1). Ignatius was speaking about being devoured by wild beasts in the arena – and so it happened – but his words apply more generally to an indispensable commitment for all those in the Church who exercise a ministry of authority. It is to move aside so that Christ may remain, to make oneself small so that he may be known and glorified (cf. Jn 3:30), to spend oneself to the utmost so that all may have the opportunity to know and love him.

May God grant me this grace, today and always, through the loving intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church.

____________________________________________________________

This is an excerpt from the 1st address to the Diplomatic Corp Today, Friday 16, by Pope Leo. All too often, Diplomats work in the interests of Corporations. Pope Leo may change those MONEY driven priorities. I Believe like the Pope.

Three pillars: peace, justice, and truth

At the heart of the Pope’s address were three essential words, which he identified as the pillars of the Church’s missionary activity and the foundation of the Holy See’s diplomatic engagement: peace, justice and truth.

Peace

The first word, peace, he described not as the mere absence of war, but as a demanding and active gift, “the first gift of Christ”. True peace, he continued, must begin in the human heart, through humility, careful speech, and the rejection of both pride and vengeance. This, he continued, refers to words as well, since “not only weapons can wound and even kill”.

With this in mind, Pope Leo XIV emphasised the indispensable role of religious freedom and interreligious dialogue in cultivating peace. He called for a renewal of multilateral diplomacy and a decisive halt to the arms race, echoing Pope Francis’ final Urbi et Orbi message, in which he warned, as he often did, that “no peace is possible without true disarmament”.

Justice

Turning then to the second word, justice, Pope Leo reflected on the memory of Pope Leo XIII and the Church’s rich tradition of social teaching. With the world facing ever deepening global inequalities, Pope Leo urged leaders to invest in the family and to uphold the dignity of every human person.

He then shared a brief reflection on his own identity as the child of immigrants, and called for greater solidarity, rooted in the shared human dignity of all people, regardless of circumstance or nationality.

Truth

Speaking then of the third and final world, truth, Pope Leo XIV described the essential need for authentic communication and peaceful relations. In a world where reality is often distorted, especially online, the Pope insisted on the Church’s duty to speak truth with charity, even when difficult or misunderstood.

“Truth,” he said, “is not an abstract principle but an encounter with the person of Christ”. It is this truth, he continued, that allows humanity to face its most urgent challenges, such as migration, technology or the environment, with unity and shared purpose.

Hope for a new path

Bringing his address to a close, Pope Leo XIV placed his ministry within the context of the Jubilee Year of Hope, which he described as a time for conversion, renewal, and above all, for leaving conflict behind.

Finally, he renewed the Holy See’s commitment to walking alongside every nation in building a world where all may live with dignity and peace. “It is my hope,” he concluded, “that this will be the case everywhere, starting with those places that suffer most grievously, like Ukraine and the Holy Land.”

Starting my 82nd Year on the 21st counting up, not down, I’m sure Pope Leo contemplated and meditated on these thoughts and song of David to God, since he was called by God to serve, verses 33-48 out of the176 verses in Psalm 119.

Instruct me, O Lord, [in] the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it at every step. Enable me to understand and I shall keep Your Law, and I shall keep it wholeheartedly.

Lead me in the path of Your commandments for I desired it. Extend my heart to Your testimonies and not to monetary gain. Turn away my eyes from seeing vanity; with Your ways sustain me. Fulfill for Your servant Your word that is for Your fear. Remove my disgrace, which I feared, for Your judgments are good.

Behold, I longed for Your precepts; with Your righteousness sustain me. And may Your acts of kindness befall me, O Lord, Your salvation according to Your word. And I shall answer a word to those who disgrace me, for I trusted in Your word. And do not take out utterly from my mouth a word of truth, because I hoped for Your words.

And I shall keep Your Law constantly, forever and ever. And I shall walk in widely accepted ways, for I sought Your precepts. And I shall speak of Your testimonies in the presence of kings, and I shall not be ashamed. And I shall engage in Your commandments, which I love.

The RCMP have the records, but I was in the unusual position to be able to speak Face to Face with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as he entered or left the Members entrance to the House of Commons from 1977 until he quit in 1984.

Concerning Papal events in the larger World, in 1978 the Year of 3 Popes, my interactions with Trudeau were exceptional in the sense there was a Spiritual connection in the words spoken to him 3 times over a short period of Time and significant Papal events that garnered the World’s attention.

After the 1st encounter, Pope Paul VI died 3 days later. The 2nd Time, Pope John Paul I died. Trudeau had scheduled an election for 15 by-elections for 15 Parliamentary Seats and as he entered Glebe Collegiate in Ottawa to speak to the children, I was not 2 feet away from him as he passed by and said, “Prime Minister! Look at the Spirit of the 13. Feed the lambs.” I was speaking in the Spirit of the Letter in the Gospel of John 21:15-17, wearing my trademark jersey

I was in the Prime Minister’s Suite of a downtown Ottawa Hotel 3 Days later watching the election returns with an Independent Candidate when those returns were interrupted by the news of the unscheduled election of Pope John Paul II. Trudeau lost 13 of the 15 seats

In their Official reports, the Prime Minister’s RCMP Security Detail confirm the facts in my comment

THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN GAZA HAS DIMINISHED OUR COMMON HUMANITY


It’s an Old Adage, ‘TRUTH is the 1st CASUALTY of WAR’ and yet these words attributed to Christ Jesus the Jew, are dismissed out of hand in this Time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the nominally Christian Nations.

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

There is no excuse! Our EYES have seen the Death, Destruction, Devastation and Demolition Israel has brought to Gaza with US jet fighters, US bombers and bombs, US Apache Attack helicopters, tanks, artillery and BULLdozers against the innocent women and Children of Gaza having no defence against Israel’s self-defence of kill them all!.

What else could be expected when the President of Israel essentially said there is little difference between Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza?

UNRWA Chief Accuses Israel of Torturing Staff as US Backs Ban on Agency at World Court

Nearly 300 UNRWA workers have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023, and dozens of other agency staffers have alleged torture during Israel Defense Forces detention.

As the International Court of Justice this week weighs an Israeli ban on a United Nations agency that provides lifesaving aid in Gaza, the program’s leader called out attacks on its workers while the United States defended Israel—the recipient of billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance.

The ICJ is holding a week of hearings in The Hague, Netherlands following the U.N. General Assembly’s December passage of a Norwegian-led resolution asking the tribunal, which is also known as the World Court, for an advisory opinion on Israel’s legal obligation to “ensure and facilitate the unhindered provision of urgently needed supplies essential to the survival of the Palestinian civilian population.”

Among the 38 nations and three regional blocs scheduled to address the 15 ICJ judges, only the United States and Hungary have so far defended Israel, whose forces have killed nearly 300 United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) workers during their nearly 19-month annihilation of Gaza.

“An occupational power retains a margin of appreciation concerning which relief schemes to permit,” U.S. State Department legal adviser Joshua Simmons argued before the court Wednesday, referring to Israel’s 58-year occupation of Palestine, which the ICJ ruled an illegal form of apartheid in a June 2024 advisory opinion.

“Even if an organization offering relief is an impartial humanitarian organization, and even if it is a major actor, occupation law does not compel an occupational power to allow and facilitate that specific actor’s relief operations,” Simmons continued, noting “serious concerns about UNRWA’s impartiality, including information that Hamas has used UNRWA facilities and that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel” in 2023.

“Given these concerns, it is clear that Israel has no obligation to permit UNRWA specifically to provide humanitarian assistance,” Simmons added. “UNRWA is not the only option for providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza.”

In what UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini described at the time as an act of “reverse due process,” the agency fired nine employees in February 2024 following Israeli allegations that they were involved in the Hamas-led attack on Israel in which more than 1,100 Israelis were killed and 251 Israeli and foreign survivors were kidnapped.

Lazzarini admitted to terminating the staffers without due process or an adequate investigation of Israel’s claims. A subsequent probe by the U.N. Office of Oversight Services “was not able to independently authenticate information used by Israel to support the allegations.”

On Tuesday, Lazzarini reminded the world that “over 50 UNRWA staff—among them teachers, doctors, social workers—have been detained and abused” by Israeli forces since October 2023.

“They have been treated in the most shocking and inhumane way,” he continued. “They reported being beaten up and used as human shields. They were subjected to sleep deprivation, humiliation, threats of harm to them and their families, and attacks by dogs. Many were subjected to forced confessions.”

Those forced confessions spurred numerous nations including the United States to cut off funding to UNRWA. Almost all of the countries have since restored funding as Israel’s claims have been debunked or questioned over a lack of evidence.

The U.S.—which has not restored funding for UNRWA—earlier this week abandoned its long-standing position that the body is immune from lawsuits, opening the door for cases by October 7 survivors and victims’ relatives stemming from dubious claims of agency involvement in the attack.

In addition to accusing Israeli troops of torturing its staffers, UNRWA has also documented tortures allegedly suffered by Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, including interrupted drowning—also known as waterboarding—being shot in the knees with nail guns, sexual abuse of both men and women, and being sodomized with electric batons. The Israel Defense Forces is investigating dozens of in-custody deaths, many of them at the notorious Sde Teiman base in the Negev Desert.

While Israel’s physical assault on Gaza has killed hundreds of UNRWA workers, its diplomatic war on the U.N. has seen the agency banned from operating in Palestine and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres declared “persona non grata” in Israel after he included Israel on his 2024 “list of shame” of countries and armed groups that kill and injure children during wartime.

The U.S.-backed 572-day war waged by the far-right government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who is a fugitive from the International Criminal Court—has left more than 184,000 Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Nearly all of the embattled enclave’s more than 2 million people have been forcibly displaced and Israel’s “complete siege” of the coastal strip has fueled widespread starvation and illness.

This week’s ICJ hearing comes amid the tribunal’s ongoing genocide case against Israel, which was brought by South Africa and is backed by dozens of nations either individually or via regional blocs. The court has issued three provisional orders in the case, all of which Israel has been accused of flouting.

Responding to the U.S. intervention in this week’s ICJ hearings, Palestinian Ambassador to the Netherlands Ammar Hijazi told Middle East Eye that “everybody knows that Israel is using humanitarian aid as a weapon of war and is starving the population in Gaza because of that.”

U.N. agencies and international humanitarian groups have warned in recent days of the imminent risk of renewed famine in Gaza as food stocks run out.

“The U.S. intervention is very narrow in its scope, when it highlights the rights of an occupying power but ignores the so many layers of duties of that occupying power that Israel is in violation of,” Hijazi added.

Among the countries defending UNRWA during Wednesday’s ICJ session were Indonesia and Russia, which is currently waging a war against Ukraine. Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono affirmed “the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination,” while Maksim Musikhin, legal director of Russia’s Foreign Ministry, argued that “international law should be respected by Israel” and that UNRWA deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
